Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

After the Marauder's Map was hacked by Zhang Xu, it was not an easy task for Harry to find someone in the castle.

The trio visited places such as the common room of the Eagle Academy, the Muggle Studies professor's office, Zhang Xu's professor's dormitory, the kitchen and the reading room, and finally found Zhang Xu at the top of the astronomy tower after a lot of effort.

When the Harry trio saw Zhang Xu, they found that he and almost all the other Hogwarts professors had gathered on the top of the tower.

When the Harry trio arrived at the top of the tower, they saw the professors opening a few bottles of red wine and chatting happily together. They were all immersed in laughter. Even Snape's face looked a little better than usual.

Not only were the professors not angry when they discovered the three students who had wandered in, Professor Sprout also conjured up three chairs and invited them to sit down.

After seeing that their dean, Professor McGonagall, had no objection, the Harry trio sat down on the chairs with a little uneasiness.

Zhang Xu poured a glass of red wine for each of the three of them, but they just took a symbolic sip and sat there without moving.

Harry and the others had attended private gatherings of students many times, and they had also attended gatherings of ghosts, but this was the first time they knew about the gathering of professors.

After listening to the professors chatting for a while, Harry realized the reason for the professors' gathering today.

Today is the professors' first working day in 1996, and it is also the day when year-end bonuses and other benefits for 1995 are distributed.

The Triwizard Tournament was successfully held last year, and Hogwarts students won the championship, so Dumbledore made a stroke of his pen and the year-end award was 20% more than in previous years.

Although this year's year-end bonus is affected by performance appraisal, everyone except Snape has gained a lot.

The professors who had just received a large amount of money naturally wanted to celebrate, so there was a party tonight.

When Zhang Xu was pulled from the dormitory by Professor Flitwick, his feelings were similar to those of Harry and the others now.

The professors chatted for more than half an hour and then dispersed. Except for Professor McGonagall who asked Harry and the others to go back in front of the gate, the other professors paid no attention to their arrival.

Just now, Zhang Xu saw Harry and the others looking at him, and knew that they were here to find him.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Xu asked.

At the beginning, Harry and the others could use their momentum to ask Zhang Xu for clarification.

As a result, they first walked around the castle for a long time, and then sat with a group of professors for more than half an hour. Now they had been working hard at one go, then failing, and finally exhausted.

After all, this problem is too serious, and the boat of friendship may capsize at the drop of a hat.

After Harry and the other three hesitantly raised the question, Zhang Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

In the end, Zhang Xu put their doubts to rest by saying, "How much does it cost to be the Minister of Magic?"

Looking at the three guys in front of him who had too little homework and too much thinking, Zhang Xu was speechless.

Just when Zhang Xu was about to go back to wash up and sleep, Harry stopped him.

"Percy may want to close the Defense Association." Harry said, "What can you do?"

"Just move to another place without letting him know." Zhang Xu said, "There are so many places in Hogwarts, it's not difficult to find another place."

"Where can I go?" Harry asked.

"Think for yourself." Zhang Xu replied.

A lot of things happened today, and Harry and the others wanted to discuss more than just one or two things with Zhang Xu.

"Did Death Eaters really infiltrate Hogwarts?" Hermione asked suddenly.

"Yes." Zhang Xu replied.

"How did they get in?" Ron asked.

"There are many secret passages in Hogwarts, and they entered through one of them." Zhang Xu continued to answer.

"How did the Death Eaters know the secret passage?" Harry suddenly shouted, "Could it be Snape who brought them in?"

Zhang Xu looked speechlessly at Harry, who habitually threw the blame on Snape, but this time he got the blame right.

But Zhang Xu couldn't tell Harry the truth, otherwise something would definitely happen.

"Death Eaters are also graduates of Hogwarts," Zhang Xu said. "It's not surprising that they know the secret passage just like you know the secret passage."

"So will Death Eaters sneak into Hogwarts in the future?" Hermione asked worriedly.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out," Zhang Xu said, "but now all the protective measures have been reset in the secret passages. If you break in, you will die. So basically you don't have to worry about them running in from the secret passages again."

The traps set by Dumbledore in the passable secret passage have been told to the professors. It is a magic similar to the age-restricted circle set around the Goblet of Fire when registering for the Triwizard Tournament. Now the students at Hogwarts It's fine when passing by, but if a wizard who is older than a student goes in, even a professor, he will trigger the trap in the secret passage.

"What about the Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban?" Ron asked.

Zhang Xu wanted to roll his eyes at this moment. The three of them were now relying on Zhang Xu to obtain inside information.

"You don't need to worry about these. The Ministry of Magic will find a way to deal with them." Zhang Xu said.

Then Zhang Xu looked at Harry and said: "Harry, I remember that starting tomorrow night you will continue to learn Occlumency with Professor Snape. I hope you can study seriously this time. Voldemort now is different from the past. Same."

Harry nodded with an ugly look on his face. Although he said it was okay, when he really faced Snape, he still resisted in his heart.

Next, Harry and the others seemed to have more questions to ask, but Zhang Xu didn't give them another chance to ask questions and waved his hands to tell them to shut up.

Zhang Xu and Dumbledore have played "Harry Potter Warrior Development Plan" together for so many years, and this year can be said to be the year to test the results.

Everything that needs to be said has been said, and everything that needs to be reminded has been reminded. Zhang Xu plans to stop helping Harry Potter starting this year, and wants to see how he grows.

In the past few years, Zhang Xu has been working as a nanny for Harry, either explicitly or covertly, training him up and preventing him from making detours.

Harry Potter will be 16 years old this year and can get married as long as his parents agree. It's time for people at this age to start taking responsibility for the decisions they make.

So Zhang Xu decided to let Harry go from now on.

"Harry, people's abilities need to be improved by themselves." Zhang Xu said to Harry.

"I learned one thing from my short life..."

"The more you rely on other people's ideas, the more you will find that there are limits to your ability to improve..."

"Unless you really rely on yourself."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Harry looked at Zhang Xu strangely.
