Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

The train to Hogwarts started, and Zhang Xu found an empty carriage and sat down.

Once on the train, he didn't have to worry about Harry Potter's safety.

Just when Zhang Xu took out a novel to pass the time, the door of the carriage was opened.

Seeing that it was Neville who opened the door, Zhang Xu said to the toad on the table, "Lai Fu, did you drop this Neville?"

...

The journey was uneventful, and the train arrived at Hogsmeade Station when it was getting dark.

At this time, it was pouring rain, and the students were struggling to walk in the rainstorm.

In the rain, Zhang Xu looked at the freshmen who followed Hagrid to receive Hogwarts history education in person, just like watching the juniors who were training under the scorching sun in the university in his previous life.

Zhang Xu looked at the students who were struggling to walk to the carriage in the heavy rain. He couldn't figure out why they didn't use magic to avoid the rain like he did, and they had to drench himself into a drenched chicken.

Pulling up Luna who slipped and fell on the rain-filled ground, Zhang Xu helped her into the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Luna, who was drenched all over, sneezed.

The temperature in Hogsmeade, which is located at a high altitude, is not high in September.

"Sit still." Zhang Xu took out his wand and said to Luna.

A gust of hot wind spurted out from Zhang Xu's wand, spinning around Luna like a tornado.

Under Zhang Xu's precise control, the warm air flow penetrated from Luna's cuffs, collar and other places, and after a while, white water vapor emerged from Luna's body.

Luna's whole face was flushed after being dried. If she sat quietly, she would still be a pretty girl.

But getting Luna to sit still was as difficult as getting Snape to wash his hair every day.

There were only Zhang Xu and Luna in the carriage. After Luna thanked Zhang Xu, she asked him various questions about magical animals.

In the past two years, Zhang Xu has often been asked various questions by Luna about trembling maggots and harassing horseflies.

Unable to be bothered, Zhang Xu had no choice but to divert her attention with other magical animals from the east that Luna had never heard of.

As a result, whenever Luna met Zhang Xu, she pestered him non-stop.

"The body of a ram looks like a sheep, but its tail is like that of a horse. The oil on its body has the effect of moisturizing the skin, and the skin care products you girls often use contain this ingredient."

"He Luo fish is a fish with one head and ten bodies at the same time. Eating its meat can cure the festering on the body."

Just as Zhang Xu was narrating, the carriage arrived.

After Zhang Xu cast a water-proof spell on himself and Luna, they walked into the castle together.

Walking into the hall, Zhang Xu found that among the students, he and Luna were the only ones who did it, and the others were all ruined. The only difference was that there was more soup and less soup.

The students near the gate saw Zhang Xu and Luna, and then remembered to dry themselves with magic.

This year's opening banquet was as lively as previous years. The difference from previous years was that this year's freshmen were all wet, as if they were fished out of the water.

Looking at the freshmen shivering from the cold and nervousness, Zhang Xu took out his wand and pointed it at them after asking for Dumbledore's approval with his eyes.

As soon as the freshmen lined up and stood waiting for the sorting ceremony, they felt a warm wind blowing from the side.

With the hot wind whistling past the freshmen, the students who were shivering because of the cold and nervousness were shocked by the sudden warmth.

In less than a minute, a cloud of steam rose from the black robes of the freshmen, making the freshmen standing together look like black rice steamed buns in a steamer with the lid just lifted.

Amidst the exclamation of the freshmen, they could feel that their wet clothes had dried completely.

Zhang Xu, who once worked as a large hair dryer, put away his wand amidst the applause of the students, and smiled and nodded to the freshmen who looked at him.

Then the sorting ceremony continued.

After the singing of the Sorting Hat, the highlight of this year's Sorting Ceremony came.

Following Professor McGonagall's roll call, the freshmen lined up to put on the sorting hat, and then came to the long tables of different colleges according to the arrangement of the sorting hat.

The freshmen were very excited, and Zhang Xu could hear the shouts of Dennis Creevey, a freshman from the Lion Court, from the table in the Eagle Court.

"Colin, I fell into the lake!" said Dennis Creevey to his brother. "It was wonderful! Something in the water caught me and pushed me back into the boat!"

Zhang Xu knew what he was talking about in the lake, it was a huge squid.

Zhang Xu once had the idea of ​​the big squid, but was restrained by Dumbledore on the spot.

The sorting ceremony was over, and it was time for the students to let go of their bellies and eat.

Needless to say, the delicious food on the long table made the students very happy to eat.

When the desserts such as treacle pie, raisin pudding, chocolate cake, scones, Victoria sponge cake, almond jam tart, apple pie, cranberry soufflé, eclairs and so on on the long table disappeared, today's dinner ended. It's over.

Next came the speech of the principal, Professor Dumbledore. After routinely informing the students of a series of precautions, Dumbledore brought a shocking news to the students.

"I also regret to inform you that there will be no House Cup Quidditch this year."

"What?!" Harry Potter exclaimed.

His voice was so loud that even Dumbledore was startled.

Dumbledore gestured for everyone to be calm, and then continued: "This is because a big event will start in October and last for the entire school year, taking up a lot of time and energy of the teachers. But I believe that you all Had a lot of fun doing it. It's my great pleasure to announce that this year at Hogwarts..."

Before Dumbledore finished speaking, there was a loud noise in the sky, and Moody made his debut.

Moody, who was so tall that he could stop a child from crying at night, walked towards Dumbledore along with the lightning and thunder outside the castle.

Dumbledore and Moody muttered a few more words after shaking hands, and then Moody sat down on the professor's chair and started his own dinner.

"Allow me to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher," Dumbledore happily broke the silence, "Professor Moody."

There was a moment of silence, and only Dumbledore and Hagrid applauded a few times among the teachers and students present.

The lukewarm reaction of the whole school did not seem to affect Moody, who sat in his seat and ate his dinner.

When Moody reached into his traveling cloak, took out a curved wine bottle, and took a big sip, Zhang Xu who was sitting under the stage showed a playful smile.

Then Dumbledore once again brought a shocking news to the students.

"Over the next few months, we will be honored to host a fantastic event that has not been held in over a century. It is with great pleasure that I report that the Triwizard Tournament will be held this year at Hogwarts."

At this moment, the students in the cafeteria were all shocked, and their reaction was even more intense than the announcement just now that the Quidditch competition would be suspended this year.

After Dumbledore had explained to the students what the Triwizard Tournament was, announced that two more schools would be at Hogwarts in October, and informed the students of the age limit for this year's competition, the feast came to an end this morning.
