The students of the Yingyuan Academy learned early in the morning from the Daily Prophet that Zhang Xu's villa was burned down by Death Eaters, so when they saw Zhang Xu returning from France early, they were not surprised. When they gathered around Zhang Xu to ask for details, they found that Zhang Xu gave everyone a slightly different feeling.

At that time, everyone just thought Zhang Xu was in a bad mood, so they didn't pay attention. The only student who cared was Luna. She followed Zhang Xu to the boys' dormitory, but she came down not long after with her head in her arms.

When Zhang Xu left the common room shortly after, Luna said to the classmates next to her: "I think there is something wrong with Zhang."

A bystander asked curiously: "How do you know there is something wrong with him?"

"He usually doesn't use much force, but he used a lot of force today." Luna said, rubbing her head.

Except for a few senior students who were snickering, the surrounding students were speechless. Everyone could see that Zhang Xu was in a bad mood just now. After all, no one would be in a good mood if his house was burned to rubble. If you mess with him at this time, you deserve to get slapped on the head again.

After walking back to his professor's office, Zhang Xu wrote several letters in succession and sent them via owl.

It's not Zhang Xu's style not to fight back when being beaten, but he still needs to make good preparations before taking action.

Therefore, Zhang Xu's first letter was written to Rita Skeeter, asking her to help collect and organize information on the Lestrange family's various properties.

Lucius Malfoy's hint is very clear. This matter is inseparable from Bellatrix Lestrange. Even if she is not the leader of this operation, she is still one of the key figures. She wants revenge anyway. It would be nice to find her.

However, Bellatrix is ​​the representative figure of the die-hard Death Eaters, and Lao Ma is one of the leaders of the meritorious faction. Lao Ma betrays his teammates like this, in addition to protecting his son, there may be internal strife among the Death Eaters. factors in it.

But Zhang Xu is not afraid that this is Lao Ma trying to borrow a knife to kill someone.

Even if Voldemort ordered Lao Ma to do this, Zhang Xu would still "kill people".

Because no matter whether Lao Ma "borrowed the knife" or not, Zhang Xu was definitely going to "kill people."

As for whether Bellatrix is ​​the culprit, Zhang Xu believes that he will get the answer tonight.

During dinner, many friends from other colleges came to express their condolences when they saw Zhang Xu coming back. However, they were persuaded to leave by Zhang Xu's dark face, and they left after a few words.

When Zhang Xu walked out of the cafeteria after dinner, he found Malfoy who was walking towards the common room of the Snake Garden.

Zhang Xu walked up to Malfoy, put his arm around his shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "If I find out that this matter has something to do with your father, I don't mind tying you to a stone before sending you away." You go play with the giant squid. Maybe Professor Binns will get an assistant that suits him well."

Then Zhang Xu turned around and walked out of the castle, regardless of Xiao Ma, whose legs were so weak that he almost fell to the ground.

Just before Zhang Xugang walked out of the castle, a voice behind him said to him: "This is not like you, Zhang. You don't look like someone who would threaten your classmates."

Zhang Xu turned around, glanced at the person walking behind him, and said, "Then are you going to deduct my college points, or are you going to remove me from the position of acting professor, Mr. Senior Investigator?"

Percy walked up to Zhang Xu, patted Zhang Xu on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go to the Three Broomsticks Bar for a drink."

"I think the Pig's Head Bar is more suitable." Zhang Xu glanced at him sideways and replied, "The Minister of Magic's loyal lackey and Dumbledore's young thug are conspiring in the bar. This is what will be the headline on the front page of tomorrow's Daily Prophet Out."

In the past few months, while popular reporter Rita Skeeter and mysterious reporter Miranda Richardson have been constantly quarreling in the media, they have also given various labels and nicknames to others. From Lu Ping to Zhang Xu to Percy, no one on both sides could escape.

Seeing that she was obsessed with her left hand scolding her right hand and never tired of it, Zhang Xu was worried that one day she would have a schizophrenia.

Percy ignored Zhang Xu's use of the "nickname" Miranda Richardson gave him to tease him, and just said to Zhang Xu: "This is a letter from Mr. Minister, let me stabilize your mood."

"Then you should write back to Mr. Minister and say that my mood has stabilized to 'irritable'." Zhang Xu waved his hand and said.

There was no words all the way until the two were about to walk near the Whomping Willow, when Percy said: "My mother has two brothers, Gideon Prewett and Fabian Prewett."

"In my memory, they would come to our house almost every weekend, and he would bring us a little gift every time he came. Bill, Charlie, Fred, George and I were very impressed by the two of them. "

"But when I was five, my uncles were killed by Death Eaters."

"At that time, our whole family was immersed in extreme grief, except Ron, who was not very sensible at the time, and Ginny, who was just born."

"Fred and George, who were not yet four years old at the time, had already noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere at home. From then on, they started playing pranks constantly, trying to make the people and atmosphere around them happy."

"When Ron was three years old, he accidentally broke the toy broomstick that his uncles had given Fred. Later, Fred became angry and turned the teddy bear Ron was holding into a spider. At that time, the rest of us Several brothers were very angry about Ron breaking the toys given by his uncles back then, so we all watched from the sidelines and no one went to help Ron."

After Percy's story was finished, the two of them walked straight to the Whomping Willow without saying anything.

Zhang Xu looked at Percy, then froze the Whomping Willow, waved to Percy with his back, and then got into the secret passage.

Percy stood aside and watched Zhang Xu get into the secret passage, stayed there for a while, and then turned back to the castle.

At midnight, an owl flew out of the Shrieking Shack and circled around the ruins of Zhang Xu's villa for nearly half an hour. After finding that no one was ambush around, it landed in the center of the ruins.

After transforming back into human form from the Southern Owl, Zhang Xu immediately walked to the living room of the previous house. After using a wand to clear away the charcoal and ashes on the ground, the original marble floor, which was almost entirely burnt into quicklime, was revealed.

Continuing to clean up the waste on the ground, Zhang Xu found tonight's target under a particularly thick marble floor - a large black metal box.

Zhang Xu's villa is not an undefended house where cats and dogs can break in.

But now that the entire villa has been burned down, there are basically no clues for the intruders to decipher the defensive spells, so they can only look for clues from the "black box" of the defensive spell array.

Only Zhang Xu knew about the existence of this "black box", and he didn't even tell Furong.

If it is leaked that there is a device in this house that can fully monitor and record all formations and "camera" operation records in the house, Zhang Xu will be joined by Zhang Qiu and Cedric the next day. Beaten to death.

After putting away the "black box", Zhang Xu returned to Hogwarts after recovering the scene.

Just when Zhang Xu walked into Hogsmeade, Zhang Xu suddenly saw a familiar figure running towards him.
