Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Although Zhang Xu wanted to delay for a while, Voldemort refused to cooperate, and the entire carriage fell into a strange silence. ~~щww~suimеng~lā

Then it was Zhang Xu who spoke first. He said to Voldemort: "I have cleared out the Death Eaters on half the train all the way here. I think the students in the other carriages will be free soon."

"Hostages do not depend on quantity, but on quality." Voldemort said, "As long as the key people are captured, those who are of little use will be gone."

Zhang Xu nodded after hearing this. Voldemort's words made sense. As long as he caught Harry, Dumbledore would be more concerned.

"Then why don't you just kill Harry now?" Zhang Xu suddenly asked.

As soon as Zhang Xu finished speaking, everyone in the carriage turned to look at him. Whether they were Death Eaters or hostages, they were all surprised by his question, especially the expressions on the faces of the hostages. He had a look of fear, fearing that Voldemort would slap Harry to death with his backhand.

At this time, Voldemort looked at Zhang Xu with eyes full of curiosity.

Zhang Xu ignored the reactions of others and just continued: "I have always been curious. When Harry was in first grade, you had many opportunities to kill Harry. Sometimes with Quirrell's power, a drop of poison, A curse can take care of Harry. If you had released the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets on Halloween night, I think the grass on Harry's grave would be three feet high by now."

Then Zhang Xu talked about various methods he had used in the first grade, such as smashing Harry to death with a chair. Harry, who was lying on the ground and had just woken up, broke into a cold sweat.

Finally, when Zhang Xu Zhang Xu said that he could strangle Harry to death now, Harry was so frightened that he jumped up, and several Death Eaters put their wands on his head.

"I'm curious," Voldemort said to Zhang Xu, "How do you know so many ways to kill people?"

Zhang Xu curled his lips and said nothing. He couldn't tell Voldemort that he had watched "Today's Statement" and "Detective Conan" for so many years, right?

But in Voldemort's eyes, Zhang Xu was unhappy because he had revealed a little secret.

Zhang Xu looked at his watch and then said to Voldemort: "I think Professor Dumbledore is coming soon. How about I discuss something with you?"

Voldemort, who was using Zhang Xu to kill time, also realized this problem, so he ignored Zhang Xu's suggestion to discuss things with him and prepared to stand up.

At this time, Zhang Xu said to Voldemort: "How about we make a deal, Your Excellency the Dark Lord."

Only then did Voldemort look at Zhang Xu seriously again and asked: "What deal?"

"I will replace the other hostages in this carriage except Harry." Zhang Xu pointed to the hostages sitting in other seats and said, "I think my value is much higher than their combined value."

"I thought you were already my hostage, Mr. Zhang." There was no emotion in Voldemort's words.

"It's a pity," Zhang Xu said to Voldemort, "if I want to escape, even your Excellency can't stop me."

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, a small jade pendant appeared in his left hand, and then he handed the jade pendant to Voldemort.

Voldemort took the jade pendant and inspected it carefully, his expression became serious.

In many places in this world, Eastern and Western magic arrive at the same destination, and each has its own strengths. Portkey is one of them.

After checking it, Voldemort realized that as long as he input magic power into this door key, he could be transported to the distant east, and the commonly used blocking magic was useless for this.

Then another identical jade pendant appeared on Zhang Xu's right hand, which forced Voldemort to pay attention.

In fact, Zhang Xu really hoped that Voldemort would put some magic power into it to give it a try. After all, the Mariana Trench is considered the east.

But in the end, Zhang Xu felt a little regretful when he saw that Voldemort was not fooled.

After Voldemort put the jade pendant on the table, he asked: "Since you have the opportunity to escape, why do you stay as a hostage? Except for a few people here who are your friends, are the others related to you? Also? That saleswoman selling snacks on the train, is there any hidden secret between you and her?"

The previous words were okay, but Voldemort's last words made Zhang Xu almost kick him.

"I remember that you once went to Hogwarts to apply for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Zhang Xu asked seriously.

"That's right." Voldemort nodded with an expression on his face.

"If you were to assume the position of professor, what would you do if you saw students at Hogwarts in danger?" Zhang Xu asked.

Voldemort was stunned. Although he knew what Zhang Xu meant, he had never thought about this problem.

But this question was now meaningless to Voldemort.

"I remember you were just an acting professor." Voldemort said after standing up, but there was a hint of jealousy in his tone.

"But that is also a professor." Zhang Xu stood up and looked directly into Voldemort's eyes and said, "Although I am not as magical as Professor Dumbledore, not as fair and strict as Professor McGonagall, and not as popular as Professor Flitwick. Respect is not as kind and optimistic as Professor Sprout, not as talented as Professor Snape, and not as knowledgeable as Professor Babbling, but I don’t think I have the determination to protect every student at Hogwarts. How much worse than them."

What Zhang Xu said was sonorous and powerful.

It was the first time for the Hogwarts students present to see Zhang Xu in full swing. Zhang Xu, who used to play with them in the greenhouse to study practical methods of herbal medicine, was gone. He usually gave them oranges with a wicked smile on his face. Zhang Xu, who was eating, disappeared, and Zhang Xu, who often told them that friendship is magic, was nowhere to be seen.

In their eyes, Zhang Xu was now like a mountain that shouldered a huge weight and blocked thousands of waves, lying between him and the Dark Lord.

Voldemort looked at Zhang Xu seriously and carefully again, and then said: "Yes, but you have to pay a price."

"Master, please give me this task!" Bellatrix Lestrange suddenly walked out and said.

Voldemort glanced at Bellatrix and nodded.

Bellatrix walked towards Zhang Xu, and on the way, she kicked Harry Potter, who was struggling to get up, to the empty seat beside him.

There was an extremely twisted smile on her face, her tongue sticking out of her mouth from time to time and gently licking her lips, and the wand in her hand was shaking with her excitement.

"Every time you accept the Cruciatus Curse from me, I will release a hostage. What do you think, Mr. Zhang?" Bellatrix said to Zhang Xu in a strange, soft voice.

Zhang Xu did not hesitate. In the midst of the other students' "No!" "Xiao Xu, you go first!" "Leave us alone!" he said to Bellatrix in a light tone: "Okay."

This tone was just like his usual answer when his classmates asked him if he wanted black pepper sauce for his steak.

"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"

Without any hesitation, Bellatrix raised her hand and shot the magic spell at Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu, who had withstood the blow, had a slight sweat on his forehead.

The Cruciatus Curse targets the soul, and the pain from the soul makes people mistakenly think that this pain comes from every cell in the body.

Zhang Xu could feel that his soul had been hit hard, but there was no unexpected pain.

"You can designate the person who leaves." Voldemort said, standing next to Bellatrix.

"Ron." Zhang Xu pointed at the worried red head and said.

"No, let Ginny go first." Ron said, shaking his head, while pulling Ginny, who had slumped in his arms because of seeing Harry being tortured, to stand up.

"Stop talking and come here quickly." Zhang Xu suddenly scolded.

Ron was shocked when he saw Zhang Xu being so angry with him for the first time. After handing Ginny to Hermione, he left the seat guarded by the Death Eaters.

When Ron walked to Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu hugged Ron and said to him: "Go to the car in front and guard. Don't let other students come over. Remember!"

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he pushed Ron away.

"Come again." Zhang Xu said.

"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!!"

This time, more sweat broke out on Zhang Xu's head. This time, the power of the Cruciatus Curse was obviously a little greater than the last time. Bellatrix seemed to be using psychological tactics. The power of each Cruciatus Curse was more powerful than the last time. The previous one is bigger and can easily give people a feeling of fear.

"Lawrence, let's go." Zhang Xu pointed at a white-haired girl sitting on the seat.

"Why me?" Lawrence asked tremblingly, "I obviously wanted to..."

"You are the youngest, so go quickly, Mu Li." Zhang Xu interrupted her. He didn't want others to know that Malfoy's distant cousin and Bellatrix's distant cousin were under the influence of the family. Instructs his assassination attempt to fail.

Lawrence lowered her head and left her seat. When she walked to Zhang Xu, she suddenly hugged Zhang Xu. ..

"Come again, this time twice in a row." Zhang Xu said to Bellatrix.

There were two more Cruciatus Curses, one heavier than the other. Zhang Xu was already sweating profusely.

"Hermione, take Ginny and leave." Zhang Xu said.

Hermione didn't say anything, just helped Ginny out of the car.

When Hermione walked to the next car, she saw Ron sitting on the ground with his head in his arms, tears dripping down his cheeks and onto the floor of the car.

Hermione laid Ginny down on the seat in the cubicle next to her, and then sat next to Ron. Together with Ron, they listened to Zhang Xu's voice of "Come again" coming from behind, and the students who were leaving passed by. The sound of running around them.

Not long after several students escaped from the Death Eaters, there was a burst of violent footsteps in the carriage.

After receiving the news, Percy rushed over with many people, but Ron immediately stood up, spread his hands, and stopped them all.

"Get out of the way! Ron!!" Percy yelled at Ron.

Ron looked at his brother calmly and firmly, and said, "Do you want to increase the number of hostages of the mysterious man and make Zhang suffer more?"

Percy, who had blood on his face and robes, was immediately speechless, and the students who came with him also fell silent.

"Come on... ahem... again."

Zhang Xu's voice came from behind Ron, and at the same time Luna came with tears on her face.

"He couldn't stand still."

As soon as Luna finished speaking, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard.

Sobbing began to appear in the silent carriage.

"Come again."

Two minutes later, Zhang Xu's voice came over again,
