Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 116: The Undercurrent Behind the Case

It was another Hogsmeade weekend, and Hogwarts students ushered in another day of fun.

And Scarlet took the newly made Animagus detector and looked around the Shrieking Shack for traces of Black.

In the Three Broomsticks, Zhang Xu, the trio of Harry, Zhang Qiu and Cedric Diggory sat at a wine table in the corner.

Zhang Xu and the others were listening to Cedric's talk about the just-concluded "Hippogriff Wounding Case".

As soon as the case was concluded, Amos Diggory, Head of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, sent the results of the case to his son, who was at Lady Puddiffe's teahouse, via the Ministry's fastest owl.

After Cedric received the letter, he immediately found the trio of Zhang Xu and Harry and told them the outcome of the case.

"The final verdict is that the Hippogriff must leave Hogwarts, and someone must buy it within half a month. The person who buys it must guarantee that it will not hurt anyone again. , it will be executed." Cedric said to several people.

"How much?" Harry Xiaohao said that he was not short of money.

"Someone has already bought it. Qiu's father paid for it and bought it in my father's name. Usually it will be fostered at Mr. Weasley's house." Cedric said while pointing to Zhang Qiu, Zhang Qiu and Zhang Qiu respectively. Himself and Ron.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were dumbfounded, and they couldn't figure out why there was such an operation. Especially Hermione, who had made some preparations for this, suddenly found that she couldn't understand the world.

"Do you think it's as simple as Buckbeak hurting Malfoy?" Zhang Xu shook his head and said to the stunned Harry and the three of them.

"In the beginning, in order to keep Hagrid as a professor, Hogwarts had to sacrifice Buckbeak and hand it over to the Ministry of Magic."

"And in the Ministry of Magic, the Buckbeak case started as a struggle between Lucius Malfoy and Hagrid. Then it developed into a struggle between the Malfoys and Hogwarts. By the time In the end, it developed into the Malfoy family supported by some families on one side, and some other families and Hogwarts on the other side, and Buckbeak's case became a battlefield for both sides."

"If Buckbeak dies in the end, the Malfoy family wins. If Buckbeak survives in the end, Hogwarts wins."

Cedric went on to say: "Among the families that support Hogwarts, we are the Diggory family, the Zhang family and the Weasley family.

So in the end the Hippogriff was dealt with jointly by the three of us. "

Harry, Ron and Hermione continued to be confused, they didn't understand the world of adults.

"Are there many families supporting Hogwarts?" Harry asked.

"Not many, except for the Weasley family, the others are relatively small and weak families." Zhang Qiu said.

"Isn't your Zhang family a powerful family?" Hermione asked.

"Only the branch of Zhang Qiu's family in England is involved. If the entire Zhang family in Huaxia gets involved, it will trigger a world war." Zhang Xu spread his hands and said.

Then Harry and Hermione looked at Ron together. The two of them always thought that the children of powerful wizard families should be like Draco Malfoy and other students of the Snake Academy, but Ron's style of painting was obviously different from theirs.

"Don't underestimate the Weasley family, they just keep a low profile." Cedric said with a smile.

"Then can my Potter family join you?" Harry said suddenly.

"As the current patriarch of the Potter family, Mr. Harry Potter, your first task is to have a large group of children after graduation and marriage, so that the Potter family can continue." Zhang Xu said to Harry with a funny face.

Harry's face was as red as Ron's hair.

Zhang Xu was stepped on severely by Zhang Qiu who was sitting beside him.

"So, now the wizarding family is divided into two factions?" Hermione turned the subject back.

"It can be said that, but other than that, there are more families that are neutral." Cedric said.

"Why, did it become like this?" Harry asked in bewilderment.

"The source of the matter is that he came to Hogwarts." Cedric pointed to Zhang Xu and said to Harry and the others, "His arrival has stirred up the magical world that was originally a stagnant pool. Over the past two years, he has made magic The world has seen a side of itself that has been deliberately ignoring all along, and it has also brought more benefits."

"Don't blame me, I just made the cake bigger. It's just that some people didn't see the enlarged cake, but only saw that the proportion of their unchanged portion has shrunk." Zhang Xu shrugged and said.

Looking at Harry and Ron who were confused, and Hermione who didn't understand, Zhang Qiu explained to them: "For example, if the interests of the magic world are originally a ten-pound cake, some people share Half of it, that is, a five-pound cake. Now there is a forty-pound cake next to this cake, and the two cakes together are fifty pounds. Those people still only get the five pounds on the original small cake Cake, at this time they found that they could share 50% of the whole cake, but now they can only share 10%. But they didn't think about how to divide the big cake, or make a new cake .The only thing they can think of is how to destroy the new cake and let everyone continue to share the old cake.”

After the words were finished, the eyes of both Harry and Ron were about to burst into cakes, and only Hermione nodded thoughtfully.

Some topics are just fine. Next, the topic quickly turned to Quidditch. Among the six people, there were three active Seekers and one former substitute. It was not difficult to find a topic in this regard.

Chatting and chatting, when everyone talked about Wood, the captain and goalkeeper of the Lions Academy team who is about to graduate this year.

"Ron, why don't you join the Quidditch team?" Zhang Xu suddenly said to Ron, "Go try to take over Wood's position."

Ron himself hadn't thought about this matter, and when Zhang Xu brought it up, his own mind also became active.

Ron was a bit of a pushy person, and whenever he was the center of attention, he would go a little crazy.

After all, he has been suppressed by his excellent older brothers, and even his younger sister was tricked by Zhang Xu into becoming a Chaser in the Lions Academy's Quidditch reserve team, so he himself needs to do something to prove himself.

Ron himself will not let go of any opportunity to show off. It has only been a few days since Black attacked him at night that night, and he has already told him that he alone fought against Black holding a 40-meter long knife, and finally defeated him.

When Ron thought of Zhang Xu's talent for judging people, he couldn't help but feel excited, maybe he could do it himself.

On a business trip, the temperature suddenly dropped, I didn’t bring enough clothes, I was almost freezing to death
