Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

As the night deepened, the storm outside Hogwarts Castle became more violent.

On a balcony of the castle, the storm was magically kept out of the balcony, and only the slightly humid breeze could enter the balcony.

An eagle perched on the balcony... the fog...

There were two rattan rocking chairs on the balcony, and Zhang Xu was lying on one of the rocking chairs, shaking as the chairs swayed.

In the middle of the rattan rocking chair is a tea table also made of rattan. There was a pot of half-drunk honey chrysanthemum tea on the tea table, and beside the tea set was an opened Marauder's Map.

A name was prominently displayed on the Marauder's map: Barty Crouch.

And the name of Alastor Moody appeared not far from Barty Crouch at the same time.

In Zhang Xu's hand was a local newspaper of the British Muggle society. In a corner of the newspaper was a missing person notice. The missing person was a man named Frank Bryce from Little Hangleton Village. old gardener.

This newspaper was sent by the "relevant department" this evening.

All countries in the world are collecting information on science, economy, technology economy, military affairs, politics, etc. of other countries, and China is no exception.

Domestic intelligence gathering on the British magical society has never stopped.

A while ago, Zhang Xu lived in the hut for a week. Through chatting with Mrs. Weasley, Zhang Xu basically found out the relationship between the main families in the British magical society and the personality traits of the main characters of each family. A lot of information about the main officials in the Ministry was also obtained through small talk.

And Voldemort, as the leader of the armed forces of the British magical society, information about him is the focus of domestic intelligence work on the British magical society, second only to Dumbledore in importance.

Therefore, the intelligence collection work on Voldemort's natal family Gaunt's old house and his father's Ridel House in Little Hangleton Village, where Voldemort's hometown is located, is part of the related work.

Information related to the British magical society was collected by "relevant departments" and sent to Zhang Xu once a week, who analyzed and sorted it out.

On the first night of school, the latest information was delivered to Zhang Xu. Along with other information came this paper concerning the disappearance of Frank Blythe, the old Riddle House gardener.

After Zhang Xu saw this newspaper, he deduced with reference to the "plot" and came to the conclusion that Voldemort has returned to England now.

Now hide the conclusion in the Riddle House.

What troubled Zhang Xu now was whether to tell Dumbledore about this and let him form a group to fight the boss.

It's just that all of Voldemort's Horcruxes have not been wiped out at present, and he won't be able to kill him for a while, even if he is caught, he can only be locked up. But a locked Voldemort is more dangerous than a Voldemort hiding everywhere. Who knows what earth-shattering things those Death Eaters who escaped from prison will do to save their boss.

If Voldemort escapes by acting rashly, it will only make him hide deeper and be more difficult to deal with.

In the end Zhang Xu decided not to startle the snake easily. Voldemort can return to England after Pettigrew Peter is gone, and he can also send Barty Crouch Jr. to impersonate Moody. Zhang Xu doesn't know what cards he has now. Zhang Xu will wait until Voldemort's cards are forced out. Dumbledore will be notified to deal with him.

After making up his mind, Zhang Xu packed up the things on the balcony and went back to the bedroom to wash and sleep.

This is the dormitory assigned to Zhang Xu as an acting professor. He will move here this academic year. The reason is that it is inconvenient to do some things in the dormitory of the Eagle Academy this year.

The next morning, the students in the cafeteria were chattering about the Triwizard Tournament, and everyone was guessing who would eventually represent Hogwarts in the competition.

"Will you participate in the competition?" Zhang Qiu, who was sitting next to Zhang Xu, asked.

"No," Zhang Xu said while eating bread, "I don't have that much time to spare."

"Then who do you think will be in the end?" Zhang Qiu asked.

"It's probably my future uncle."

As soon as Zhang Xu finished speaking, Zhang Qiu's elbow hit him in the ribs, killing him three times in a row.

"Who is the loudest now?" Zhang Xu asked Zhang Qiu while rubbing his ribs.

"You, Harry and Hermione. Everyone thinks that you have a way to cheat the age limit to participate in the competition." Zhang Qiu replied.

Hearing this answer, Zhang Xu was a little speechless. The current students are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Just now Zhang Xu heard someone speculate whether a certain professor would pretend to be a student to participate in the competition. Zhang Xu really wanted to tell that student that the professor was one year younger than seventeen.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xu looked at the professor's seat, but did not see the shadow of a certain professor who was sixteen years old and more than two hundred months old.

Zhang Xu hadn't seen Scarlet since he left the stadium after the Quidditch World Cup. He only saw her appear at the opening banquet yesterday. Zhang Xu had looked for her on the night of the World Cup riots, but he hadn't seen her until Zhang Xu went to the Burrow.

After breakfast, Zhang Xu left the cafeteria and went to the Charms classroom to prepare for class.

"Zhang, please wait a moment, please."

When Zhang Xu passed by an empty corridor, a shout came from behind Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu turned around and found that the person calling him was actually Malfoy.

To Zhang Xu's surprise, Malfoy, who was walking towards him, was a little awkward, so that Zhang Xu even ignored the fact that Malfoy didn't have the two followers who followed him.

"What's the matter, Malfoy?" Zhang Xu asked strangely.

"Uh..." Malfoy looked around, as if to make sure there were no other people or ghosts around.

Zhang Xu looked at Malfoy, whose painting style was completely different from the past, and felt the urge to take out the Marauder's Map to see if the pony classmate in front of him had been transferred.

"I have something for you," Malfoy said, taking something out of the pocket of his robe.

Zhang Xu looked at the thing Malfoy handed him in front of him. It was a pink envelope exuding a faint fragrance, and there was a red heart-shaped sticker on the seal of the envelope.

Zhang Xu immediately took a few steps back, keeping a distance of two meters from Malfoy.

"Although I don't discriminate against same-sex love, I already have a girlfriend." Zhang Xu raised his wand to stop Malfoy from moving forward. I have seen her, I love her very much, and we will get married after graduation. So it is impossible between us, please give up on me, or I will introduce Harry Potter to you."

Zhang Xu felt that he was facing the biggest crisis since he came to Hogwarts. When the first year went alone to disassemble the parts of the basilisk, he was never so nervous as he is now.

At this moment, Malfoy's pale face turned red.

"No! It's not me! Don't talk nonsense!" Malfoy finally roared. "It's a distant cousin of mine who just arrived at Hogwarts this year. She asked me to forward this letter to you."

"Who told you not to explain it early, I was shocked." Zhang Xu put away his wand, "Please return the letter for me."

It doesn't seem easy for Malfoy's cousin to let the always aloof Malfoy help deliver the love letter. But Zhang Xu was in no mood to gossip, so he turned around and left after he refused.
