Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

(ˊωˋ)つ??o(°?°)

Zhang Xu and Dumbledore were sitting on the terrace of a coffee shop by the Thames River chatting.

After leaving Emma's house, the two did not go back to Hogwarts. Instead, Zhang Xu invited Lao Deng to have dinner in London, and then went to the cafe by the Thames River where he had chatted and laughed with a Western reporter last time.

The two of them didn't talk about Percy's actions at Hogwarts all night. Instead, Dumbledore used Emma to start the conversation and talked about the talented students he had met before.

When a gust of cool autumn night breeze blew across the terrace, several young guests on the other side of the terrace tightened their collars while discussing "Braveheart" and "Bridge of Lost Dreams" which were just released this month.

"Before the promulgation of the International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy, the relationship between wizards and Muggles was as close as yours." Dumbledore was talking about history with Zhang Xu, "William Wallace led the independence of Scotland. He asked Hogwarts for help when he was young, and although the principal of Hogwarts did not agree to his request, there were still many students from Scotland who joined him in Hogwarts."

Just now, Dumbledore heard the guests in another seat talking about "Braveheart", and then he told Zhang Xu about the relationship between Hogwarts and William Wallace.

"Although with the help of wizards, William Wallace achieved great success in the early stage, but later King Edward I of England brought his army and the wizards who served the royal family to conquer in person. Finally, William Wallace Defeated.”

"From then on, the connection between wizards and nobles became closer. Wizards provided help to nobles in medical, military and other aspects. At the same time, wizards also dealt with gray matters for nobles. But this also laid the foundation for the subsequent witch-hunting movement. There is a hidden danger.”

"In the fifteenth century, as nobles increasingly sought help from wizards in their struggles, many nobles developed a fear of wizards."

"Finally, the nobles and the church reached a consensus that witches should not exist in this world, so the witch hunt began."

“With the progress of the witch-hunting movement, especially stimulated by the Salem Witch Trials in the United States in 1692, the International Statute of Secrecy of Wizards came into effect, and since then witches and ordinary people have been separated in Europe and America. Come on."

After listening to Dumbledore talk about a piece of history that was not included in the history of magic textbooks, some of Zhang Xu's guesses were confirmed.

Historical development is about cause and effect, and any "effect" has an inevitable "cause".

"I heard that one of Voldemort's ideas is to tear up the International Confederation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy.

So that wizards no longer have to hide and can live under the sun? "Zhang Xu asked.

"That's right," Dumbledore said. "Voldemort promised the wizarding family that he would stop wizards from hiding and come out to rule Muggles and their descendants."

"No wonder he agreed to meet me in Hogsmeade on Halloween. It seems that he wants to become an ally with us." Zhang Xu said.

This sentence is the purpose of Zhang Xu's talk with Dumbledore tonight. Some things are safer to discuss in the Muggle world.

Although Zhang Xu was certain that Dumbledore had learned from Snape the specific time and place when Voldemort negotiated with Zhang Xu.

But it's one thing for Dumbledore to know about such a big thing through his own channels, and it's another thing for Zhang Xu to take the initiative to tell Dumbledore.

After all, no one likes their ally to be a bastard.

Moreover, it was not easy for Dumbledore to directly ask Zhang Xu if he was in cahoots with Voldemort or if he wanted to join forces with Voldemort. This would have no effect except to offend Zhang Xu.

So tonight Dumbledore slowly led the topic to Voldemort, and Zhang Xu also used Voldemort to pick up the topic in a smart way.

"Although his goals look similar to ours, they are actually very different." Zhang Xu continued, "The Muggles of today are not the Muggles of hundreds of years ago. We cannot rule them by force." of."

"And the current military power of Muggles cannot be ignored by wizards. Electronic products in Hogwarts Castle will be interfered by magic. Conversely, electromagnetism can also interfere with magic."

"Not to mention the economic power of Muggles. Among my classmates at Hogwarts, I haven't heard of anyone who farms, raises sheep or herds cattle."

"Rather than rule Muggles by force, Voldemort would have been better off becoming an idol."

Except for the last sentence, Dumbledore understood everything Zhang Xu said.

After solving the core problem, Dumbledore turned the topic to the professor's qualification review.

"What do you think of the students' evaluation of the professor on Sunday?" This was the second time Dumbledore came to listen to Zhang Xu's opinion on this issue.

"There are some ideological trends in Hogwarts now that are very dangerous. Some students are disgusted with the practices of certain professors over the years. These students all hope to drive away the professors they hate during this review." Zhang Xu said, "If students find that they can drive away a professor by uniting, students will unite for their own selfish interests and try to think about whether they can obtain more benefits."

"When students' private interests are inconsistent, students will be divided into various groups according to their interests to attack each other. This is more serious than the division of the four major colleges."

"I took leave this afternoon because of this matter and sought a solution from home."

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, Dumbledore was silent for a while, and then asked: "Then what can you do?"

"Fair, impartial, open and regular." Zhang Xu said.

"Except for the fact that the final step is decided solely by the Supreme Investigating Officer, and the increase in scoring weights needs to be negotiated, in other respects, Percy has been as fair, just, and open as possible. This is incidental to an aboveboard conspiracy. A little conspiracy.”

"And what some professors do is really too much. They really need to take a hard beating and correct their bad habits."

"It is best if such an event can be held regularly every few years, so as not to accumulate conflicts between professors and students to a dangerous level."

"As long as we finally come up with an answer that everyone can accept and the conflicts between the two parties are alleviated, we can buy time to resolve the conflicts."

"I'll mention some issues to Percy. He's not ignorant."

After Dumbledore said that he would consider it carefully, he took Zhang Xu back to Hogwarts.

After returning to Hogwarts, the first thing Zhang Xu did was to deliver dessert to Professor McGonagall's office to thank her for approving his leave.

Then Zhang Xu came to Scarlet's dormitory. Zhang Xu, who had the password, walked in as usual. When he opened the bedroom door, "Huh? There is no one. Is it in the office?"

Just as Zhang Xu was about to turn around and escape, he was hit by a magic spell.

On the balcony of the dormitory, Scarlet, who had just come out of the shower, was sitting on a chair eating the cheesecake brought by Zhang Xu.

"This cake tastes good," Scarlet said.

"That's for sure. Why would I use a random cake to thank my eldest sister? Can you put me down first?" said Zhang Xu, who was hanging upside down outside the balcony railing.
