Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

While Malfoy was quietly taking action, Zhang Xu was also busy with something that gave him a headache.

Next month is the Easter holiday, and the three-school Quidditch match will be held at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

However, just two days ago, when Zhang Xu just came out of the school doctor's office, Dumbledore called him over.

After the usual greetings, tea and desserts, Dumbledore got straight to the point.

"There are a few changes to the three-school Quidditch match at Beauxbatons next month," Dumbledore said.

Zhang Xu was a little surprised after hearing this, so he put down his tea cup and waited for Dumbledore's next words.

Dumbledore continued: "During the competition, Russia's Kodosdorez, Japan's Magic Institute, Uganda's Wagadu, Brazil's Castrobushe and the United States' Ilvermoni... The magic schools will send representatives to watch the game. At that time, representatives from our eight magic schools will discuss the possibility of holding an eight-school Quidditch match."

Zhang Xu thought about it for a while. Since ancient times, the top three competitions have been played by the three schools. Although it doesn't matter if there are more schools for the Goblet of Fire, the rules have always been like this, and there is no reason for other schools to interfere. But the three-school Quidditch competition is different. This is a new competition, and the participating schools attach great importance to it. If it is early, everyone will be happy to join in and play together.

Zhang Xu thought this was feasible, so he nodded and said to Dumbledore: "This is a good thing, it can promote exchanges between schools."

Dumbledore also nodded and said: "That is indeed the case, so the possibility of this competition being held is very high. As an advocate of the three-school Quidditch competition, I hope you can make several plans for the eight-school Quidditch competition before this happens." When the time comes, I will personally lead the team to Beauxbatons, which can be used when discussing with representatives from other schools."

Now that the leader of the store has arranged the task, Zhang Xu can only accept the task.

Fortunately, Zhang Xu has played no less time in the "Football Manager" series than in the "Civilization" series.

When the time comes, it will take a matter of minutes to come up with several plans for the group stage, knockout rounds, away games, etc.

After arranging this matter, Dumbledore proposed a new task.

Dumbledore said to Zhang Xu: "While at Beauxbatons, I will focus mainly on negotiations with representatives from other schools. I hope you can contribute to the management of players."

The leader wants you to contribute, so naturally you have to contribute voluntarily. There is nothing to say. Zhang Xu also nodded in agreement.

Then Dumbledore said: "I hope we can win the final game next month."

This time, the leader has set a goal. This goal doesn't seem too difficult. If you work hard, there will be no problem. However, Zhang Xu will not agree so easily. This is the time to ask for benefits from the leader.

After some negotiations, the two reached a series of agreements.

After negotiating a few conditions, Dumbledore changed the subject and talked about several other magic schools.

Then Dumbledore suddenly asked: "Zhang, are you familiar with magic?"

Zhang Xu nodded in confusion and said, "I understand it fairly well."

Zhang Xu has read a lot of information about this Japanese magic school located on South Iwo Jima. The stone slabs on the stone pavement in the back garden of his affordable villa were taken from the Magic Palace, the main building of the magic school. Zhang Xuhua It took a lot of effort to get it back from the antique market of the alchemists.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xu knew why Dumbledore asked this question. Suppose the Germans demolished the Hogwarts castle decades ago, and now the Germans meet the school leaders of Hogwarts, the scene is no more harmonious than when Harry and Malfoy met.

After understanding Dumbledore's concerns, Zhang Xu could only spread his hands and promise Lao Deng that he would not take the initiative to cause trouble while at Beauxbatons.

After dinner, Zhang Xu called all the members of the school team to the Quidditch pitch before today's training, and then began to convey instructions from the school leaders.

Zhang Xu stood in the middle of the court, with more than a dozen regular members and substitutes of the Hogwarts team standing in front of him, waiting for Zhang Xu to start speaking.

"Today, I got the latest news from Professor Dumbledore." Zhang Xu said, "During the Easter holiday, during the Quidditch competition between the three schools, in addition to Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, In addition to this school, there were also representatives from five magic schools: Russia's Kodos Dorez, Japan's Magic Institute, Uganda's Wagado, Brazil's Castrobushe and the United States' Ilvermoni. .”

As soon as Zhang Xuda finished speaking, the team members started chattering and discussing. The news shocked them quite a bit.

Zhang Xu raised his hand and pressed it down, stopping the discussion among the team members, and then said a piece of news that shocked them even more, "If this year's competition goes well, there is a great possibility that our eight magic schools will compete in the competition next year." Organize a Quidditch tournament involving eight schools."

Hearing this news, there were quite a few team members who lowered their heads and sighed. These team members were all senior players such as the twin brothers. If such a competition was really to be organized, they who had already graduated would only be spectators.

"Everyone, please calm down first. There will be even more exciting news later." Zhang Xu said to Harry and several other excited team members.

"What's the news?" Fred asked.

"Is there a bonus for winning?" George then asked.

"That's right!" Zhang Xu replied with a smile.

Zhang Xu cleared his throat and said to the players who looked at him with wide eyes: "Professor Dumbledore guarantees that if we win the championship, all team members will receive generous bonuses, and the players who perform well will also receive additional rewards. !”

Amid the cheers of the players, Harry suddenly asked: "What if we don't win the championship?"

After Zhang Xu sneered "haha" twice, the team members all fell silent. Zhang Xu's expression was a little strange at this time, and the team members were waiting for his next words.

"If you don't win the championship, you will lose." Zhang Xu said, "I promise Dumbledore that if we don't win the championship, we will all go to the Kelingli Coal Mine to dig coal."

The team members wailed at the same time, and the twin brothers used broomsticks as hoes to imitate the movements of digging coal.

"Fred, George, this is not the way to dig coal now. If you two fail to hit the bludger on the head of the other player, then you will know how to dig coal." Zhang Xu said to Zheng Wei. said the twin brother.

"Are you kidding, Zhang?" a member of the Snake Yard asked with a smile.

"I was joking with Professor Dumbledore," Zhang Xu spread his hands and said, "but Professor Dumbledore's expression didn't look like he took it as a joke."

Another burst of wailing followed.

After the team members made a fuss for a while, Zhang Xu clapped his hands to attract their attention and said, "Okay, let me tell you something that will make everyone happy."

"Professor Dumbledore has approved that from today until the Easter holiday, the players on the team will not have to do homework."

"So do we have to practice every day?" Ron asked.

"This is obvious," Zhang Xu said matter-of-factly, "otherwise, why would you be exempted from your homework?"

This time, the team members' reaction was mediocre. Although they got the benefit of not having to do homework, everyone understood the principle that only by giving up can you gain something. Not to mention that if you win, you will get a prize, but if you lose, you may be severely punished.

Everyone thought that Zhang Xu was about to announce his disbandment. When training started, he said: "The last news is that Dumbledore will hire the recently retired Quidditch coach Mr. Brian Clough to come and temporarily guide us in Quidditch." Mr. Clough has agreed to the team’s training and he will start training for us tomorrow.”

At this moment, the court suddenly became quiet, and all the players looked at Zhang Xu in stunned silence.

"Are you telling the truth?" Ron, who was so shocked that his mouth opened, asked Zhang Xu.

"Professor Dumbledore told me so." Zhang Xu said, "Tomorrow everyone will know whether what Professor Dumbledore said is true or false."

It is not surprising that the team members who are familiar with the history of British Quidditch were stunned by the news. After leaving the principal's office, Zhang Xu went to the library to find a book on the history of Quidditch and flipped through it. After the experience of Ryan Clough, Zhang Xu could only lament that Dumbledore's reputation was indeed big enough, which was almost the same as Sir Alex Ferguson going to be the coach of the A-A club.
