After finishing the meal, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Because of the summer vacation, the children did not have to go to bed too early.
Hermione took Ginny and Ron back to her room to whisper.
Wang Xu and Mrs. Mo Li were sitting on the sofa, one reading the newspaper and the other knitting a sweater, chatting wordlessly.
After another ten minutes, a bright light suddenly flashed outside the Burrow.
Wang Xu paused while flipping the newspaper, looked up and looked out the window, and saw Arthur walking from the vegetable garden with a glowing wand.
"I'm back!" Arthur shouted outside the door, and then opened the door.
Mrs. Molly put down the sweater in her hand and asked dissatisfiedly: "Why have you been here for so long?"
"Forget it, a wizard drove drunk and crashed into a Muggle house on a flying broomstick. The superiors asked me to deal with it." Arthur didn't come back empty-handed. He was also carrying a box in his hand, and the faint smell of herbs hit his face.
Come.
After talking to Mrs. Molly for a few words, Arthur put the box on the table and said, "I have prepared the herbs, but your curse is very troublesome. I'm not sure if I can do it. It's best if you wait."
Wait, Professor Dumbledore will come in person later."
"Dumbledore?" Wang Xu's eyes brightened slightly. If Arthur's level was compared to that of an attending physician, Dumbledore would be an expert professor.
With Dumbledore personally coming out, the possibility of breaking the curse becomes even greater.
"When will he come?"
"Soon, maybe in the next second!"
Whoosh!!!
With this second word, white light flashed outside the Burrow again, and an old mage in gray-white robes appeared with a young man.
Seeing the old mage in white robes, Arthur shrugged and said, "Surprise, he is so punctual."
"Arthur, your cucumber seedlings seem to be infested with aphids. They look really scary." Dumbledore did not enter the door, but stood in the vegetable garden of Weiss's house and looked at the cucumber rack.
Arthur walked to the window with a smile and said loudly: "Professor, don't worry about the cucumbers. I'll introduce you to a new friend."

The door opened, and Dumbledore appeared in everyone's sight, wearing a red hat.
Seeing Dumbledore coming, Wang Xu took the initiative to stand up and said: "Hello, Professor Dumbledore, I am Wang Xu."
"It's an honor to meet you, a guest from afar." Dumbledore looked at Wang Xu with scrutiny in his eyes.
"professor?"
By chance, Ginny came down from upstairs and opened her mouth in surprise when she saw Dumbledore.
The next second, she found that Harry Potter was also there. Ginny's surprise turned into surprise and she said happily: "Harry!"
"Hi, Ginny." Harry smiled, waved his hand, and walked out from Dumbledore.
"Harry is here?" Hearing Ginny's exclamation, Ron and Hermione also ran out.
When they saw that it was really Harry, Ron and Hermione rushed forward, and the three of them hugged each other tightly.
Wang Xu and others stood aside, looking at the very affectionate little guys, with knowing smiles on their faces.
Dumbledore waved his hand and said to Harry: "Go up and play. You don't have to accompany me, an old guy."
"Goodbye Professor." Harry waved his hand happily, and the trio, together with Ginny, ran all the way upstairs.
"Harry, how was your summer vacation?"
The four friends returned to the room, and Ron was the first to ask.
Harry took off his coat, with a bitter look on his face, and shook his head: "It's not very good. My aunt's family doesn't like me. Summer vacation is a torment for me."
"Where did the professor just take you?" Hermione asked the second time, and several people gathered around Harry.
Harry enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by friends and answered everyone's questions. He explained: "The professor took me to Bardton and visited a very powerful wizard. According to the professor, this person's name is Silla.
The person from Ghorn will take up the post of Potions Professor in the new semester."
"What about Snape? Has he, the annoying big bat, been fired?" Ron asked with a happy face. If you want to say which professor is the most annoying in the school, I'm afraid there is no one other than Snape.
the second.
Especially for Gryffindor students, Snape, who was born in Slytherin, is simply their nemesis, and no one can ever get praise from him.
"Professor Snape will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the new semester. The previous Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Umbridge, has been suspended by the Ministry of Magic for inspection due to her involvement in the Minister of Magic Fudge." Ha.
When Li said this, his eyes revealed the meaning of understanding and hatred.
During the last semester, fifth grade Harry Potter was dealt with by Umbridge quite a lot.
That old witch, by virtue of being the Minister of Magic and the liaison officer assigned to Hogwarts, didn't even want to show off her dignity to Dumbledore, and she knew how to cause trouble all day long.
To a certain extent, Harry's hatred for Umbridge is no less than that of Snape, or even more.
"The changes in the professor have little impact on us. Although Professor Snape is a little stricter, his attainments in black magic are recognized. Some people say that he is the strongest professor in the college, even more powerful than Professor McGonagall."
Above that, he is on par with Professor Flitwick. It’s just that I don’t know much about Professor Slughorn. How is his level of potions? He can’t be worse than Snape, right?”
Hermione is a top student, and she is very sensitive to changes in professors' positions, with a worried tone in her voice.
Harry scratched his head and said with some uncertainty: "Professor Slughorn, who used to be the potions tutor of the mysterious man, his level should not be worse than Professor Snape, even if it is worse, it will not be worse.
It’s too much, don’t worry.”
"I know Professor Slughorn, he taught my father." Ron took over the conversation and said: "My father said that he is the leading potions master today, especially good at making elixirs, which we often use.
The lucky potion you’re talking about. Seventy percent of the lucky potions on the market are made by him, and the manufacturing of lucky potions is recognized as a master level difficulty.”
Harry and the three of them talked quietly and evaluated all the instructors.
After a moment, Ginny, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted everyone's conversation by shaking her hand, and whispered: "Listen!"
"What are you listening to?" Ron asked subconsciously, then looked around belatedly.
Ginny made a silent gesture, tiptoed to the door, and covered her ears with her hands.
Harry and the others were a little confused and sat together looking at Ginny.
A few minutes later, Ginny put down her hand and said, "I heard the professor discussing things with that person. It seemed that some curse was involved, and then the professor invited him to serve at Hogwarts."
"No, he's going to be our professor?" Ron got up from the bed, trotted to the door, and looked down.
When he caught his eye, Professor Dumbledore was holding a bottle of potion and pouring it into Wang Xu's hand. Waves of black smoke continued to escape from his fingers.
"The curse on your hand is very strong and difficult to remove at one time. I suggest dividing the treatment course into ten times, once a week. This can maximize the effectiveness of the medicine and eliminate the possibility of recurrence."
Dumbledore poured the potion and used magic to break the curse.
Wang Xu looked at his hand. The mark of the nightmare was fading, and the power of the curse was also diminishing.
After moving his fingers, Wang Xu showed a slight smile on his face and said, "This curse has been tormenting me for several months. As long as it can be removed, it doesn't matter how many more treatments it takes."
"How have you considered my proposal?" Dumbledore placed the medicine bottle next to Wang Xu and asked pointedly.
Wang Xu frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "It's a bit difficult. My power system is different from yours. I have nothing to teach you at Hogwarts."
"You can teach whatever you want. I just hope you can come to Hogwarts to teach. Now that Voldemort is back, I am very worried about the defense strength of Hogwarts." Dumbledore didn't care what Wang Xu taught, he just wanted to teach him
This powerful fighting force was pulled onto the Hogwarts carriage.
Wang Xu also understood what Dumbledore meant, nodded slightly, and said: "For the sake of helping me break the curse, I should agree to this request, and I am also very interested in Hogwarts. However,
I have two requirements. First, I must not interfere with my teaching content. Second, I must have the right to enter and exit the library. I want to see if the wizard’s system is complementary to mine.”
"As you wish, my professor"
Dumbledore had a smile on his face. He raised his head slightly when he said this, and winked mischievously at the people who were lying on the stairs eavesdropping on Harry.
