On Saturday morning, thick dark clouds blocked the sun, and Hogsmeade was surrounded by snow. ｛ щww{suimеng][lā}

The calf-deep snow did not stop the students at Hogwarts from heading to Hogsmeade.

In the white snow, a group of students wearing black robes were marching hard. From the air, they looked like a march of ants.

Zhang Xu imitated Ron and cast a floating spell on himself, and played on the snow without leaving any trace, without having to walk with his shoes and trouser legs wet like everyone else.

After Zhang Xu cast a floating spell on himself, he inserted a wind-avoidance card into his new robe to avoid being blown to the branches by the strong wind like Ron.

When walking by the big tree with Ron hanging on it, Zhang Xu quietly took out his wand and released several Shen Feng Wuying, interrupting the branch where Ron was hanging.

Under the influence of the earth's gravity, the branch hit Hermione, who was scolding him under the tree, while Ron hit Harry on the head.

Regardless of this episode, Zhang Xu came to Honeydukes Candy Store to replenish the candies in the treasure bag.

After leaving the candy store under the warm eyes of the candy store owner, Zhang Xu came to the Three Broomsticks Bar to kill time.

As soon as he walked into the bar, Zhang Xu saw Professor McGonagall and a middle-aged lady in her thirties shaking hands and saying goodbye.

Zhang Xu looked at the lady. She had long golden hair and a pair of sea-blue eyes behind half-rimmed glasses with red frames. She wore a white robe with a gold-rimmed waistcoat that was as blue as her eyes.

This lady looked elegant and dignified. Zhang Xu felt that she gave him a different feeling from the witches he usually saw.

And lying at her feet were a tabby cat and a black and white cat.

When the lady walked out of the bar and passed by Zhang Xu, she turned around and smiled at Zhang Xu.

Her mature and charming smile moved Zhang Xu, and then he smiled and nodded gently.

Zhang Xu came to the table of Professor McGonagall who sat down again.

Sit down in the chair where the lady just sat.

After ordering a glass of absinthe, Zhang Xu asked Professor McGonagall: "Professor McGonagall, I don't think you've seen the lady just now in Hogsmeade?"

"You will see her often in the future." Professor McGonagall replied, "Ms. Hood moved to Canada with her family in her early years, and only returned to the UK this year. She rented my house in Hogsmeade to open a shop. .”

Thirteen years ago, when Professor McGonagall married Elphinstone Elcott, they bought a house in Hogsmeade.

After the unexpected death of Elphinstone Elcott ten years ago, Professor McGonagall moved back to Hogwarts Castle, and the house was sometimes rented and sometimes empty.

Zhang Xu had learned about the real estate situation in Hogsmeade when he established a base in Hogsmeade. However, Professor McGonagall's house was too close to the main road, so Zhang Xu did not rent her house.

Zhang Xu asked curiously: "What kind of store does she want to open?"

"She said she wanted to open a board game bar." Professor McGonagall said. "According to her, it is a cafe where you young people can play games and relax together."

Zhang Xu nodded thoughtfully. Wizards had a lot of table games, including wizard chess, backgammon and other chess games. Opening a board game bar seemed to be a good choice.

It's just that Zhang Xu felt that Ms. Hu De gave him a strange feeling just now, but he couldn't explain the strangeness for a while.

"What, you have a crush on Ms. Hood?" Professor McGonagall looked at Zhang Xu who was meditating and asked, "I remember that you like ladies who are older than you."

Zhang Xu, who had a black line on his head, immediately changed the subject and said, "Professor McGonagall, what do you think of Hagrid's matter?"

Professor McGonagall took a sip of the wine in front of her, sighed and said: "The situation has become like this, there is nothing we can do about it. Fortunately, there is no end to the road. If Hagrid chooses to change himself, he can still become a professor again. of."

"Let Hagrid study with Professor Graplan for a period of time?" Zhang Xu asked.

Professor McGonagall nodded and said, "Dumbledore is going to let Hagrid serve as acting professor and study with Professor Graplan and other professors for a period of time."

In fact, the professors didn't really agree with Hagrid's teaching methods in the past two years. Everyone's teaching methods were from the shallower to the deeper, step by step. Only Hagrid was the one who learned the hard stuff from the beginning.

Hippogriffs are rated as ??? level by the Ministry of Magic. They are magical animals that capable wizards can deal with. For a group of students who have just entered the third grade to come into contact with them, it can only be said that Malfoy is very lucky.

Not to mention the explosive-tailed snail, a magical animal that is a cross between a ????-level manticore and a ???-level fire crab.

The Blast-Ended Skrewt is estimated to be of the ???? level. The Ministry of Magic's assessment of this level of magical animals is "dangerous/requires specialized knowledge/skilled wizards to deal with." Moreover, the habits of the Blast-Ended Skrewt are unknown, which makes Fourteen The year-old student dealt with this kind of animal without any major incident. It can only be said that Hogwarts has a good feng shui.

While chatting with the professors in the faculty lounge, Zhang Xu complained about which level of magical animals Hagrid thought students should learn in each grade.

It's just that Hagrid's backstage was too tough. Professor McGonagall reported this problem to Dumbledore once at the beginning, but Dumbledore later made it a trivial matter.

Later, the arrival of Professor Graplan, who was a substitute, allowed other professors to see the best candidate to succeed Hagrid.

Professor Graplan also received very good results in this year's professor review.

In Zhang Xu's eyes, Professor Graplan was very Buddhist. She had no intention of taking the initiative to compete with Hagrid for the position. In her eyes, the professor's position was casual. Lao Deng would come here when he needed her to sit in this position. When he didn't need her, he would leave with his pipe in his mouth, coming and going. Go, the wind is light and the clouds are light, neither happy nor sad.

Now that Hagrid has been dismissed, the professors don't know whether to be happy or sad.

The good news is that we have a reliable colleague, and the students can receive a better education. The sad thing is that Hagrid was sent away by Percy, and everyone is inevitably a little bit sad.

"Study with other professors?" Zhang Xu noticed this immediately.

"That's right," Professor McGonagall replied, "Professor Dumbledore thinks that Hagrid should learn how to be a qualified professor."

He is indeed a confidant, Zhang Xu complained in his heart.

"Although Professor Dumbledore made this decision a few years late, it is better late than never." Zhang Xu said, "Look, we need to add a big chair to our classroom."

"I'm afraid Professor Snape and Professor Weasley don't have to worry about how to put such a big chair in their classroom."

"I think Professor Weasley should be worried," said Professor McGonagall.

"Oh why?"

Zhang Xu was a little surprised. Professor McGonagall was not the kind of person who would kill someone with a borrowed knife. Her intention was definitely not to let Hagrid beat Percy up in class.

"Percy's class is actually very good." Professor McGonagall said, "It would be better if he could let the students wave their magic wands in class."

Professor McGonagall was right. Percy could lecture for the whole class without giving students a chance to speak, and he did not cause strong dissatisfaction among the students. This shows that he still has a good grasp of theory and knowledge points. First hand.

However, Zhang Xu had no idea how much Hagrid could learn from the professors.

On the one hand, Hagrid is several decades old and has a stable mind. On the other hand, he has not received long-term systematic education, which makes his learning half the result with half the effort.

The most important thing is whether Hagrid has the determination to learn. As long as he is determined, even if he is slow, he can achieve something. If he has no determination, no matter how much he talks, it will be in vain.

Dumbledore was also worried about Hagrid, and spent a long time to come up with Hagrid's reemployment training plan.

This plan should have been agreed not long ago between Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, so currently only Professor McGonagall knows the content.

At this moment, Harry came to the bar himself.

As soon as Harry saw Professor McGonagall and Zhang Xu, he immediately came over.

After Harry sat down, he asked Professor McGonagall: "Is Hagrid really going to be fired, Professor McGonagall?"

"Do you think Hagrid is really a qualified professor, Potter?" Professor McGonagall asked.

Harry lowered his head and said nothing.

"Everyone sees Hagrid's mistakes as a professor." Zhang Xu said at this time, "Not making mistakes is a naive dream. Making as few mistakes as possible is a human principle. Mistakes are like the attraction of the center of the earth. Force, everything in this world is bound to make mistakes.”

"You think Hagrid's mistake is not serious, but major mistakes are like thick ropes. They are made up of many small parts. It doesn't matter if you look at them separately, but many small mistakes together will form a big mistake."

"Lenin said, don't be afraid to admit your mistakes and don't be afraid to correct them again and again. In this way, we will reach the top of the mountain."

"As Hagrid's friend, what you have to do is not to cover up his mistakes, but to help him correct them."

"Hagrid's dismissal this time is a bad thing for him, but it is also a good thing, because he can calm down and reflect, and then learn how to be a qualified professor with Professor Graplan and other professors."

Zhang Xu has found a way to deal with naughty kids like Harry in the past few years.

First use a lot of big ideas to confuse Harry and make him lose his ability to think, and then tell him what he should do.

At this time, as long as Hermione did not come out to object, and as long as Harry and Snape were not allowed to cooperate, Harry would basically fall into a trap and be unable to climb out.

"So it's possible for Hagrid to come back?" Harry asked.

"Yes." Professor McGonagall replied, "As long as Hagrid can meet the standards of a qualified professor, he can still return to the classroom."

After chatting for a few more words to make Harry feel dizzy, Harry happily went to find Hagrid. This was good news for himself and Hagrid.

"The next step is up to Hagrid himself." Zhang Xu said to Professor McGonagall after taking a sip of wine.

Professor McGonagall nodded.

Percy's move was done openly, and everything was done openly, so Professor McGonagall didn't have much to object to.

After chatting with Professor McGonagall for a few more words, Zhang Xu left the bar and started walking around the village.
