Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Harry and his party, led by Lupine, arrived at the graves of the Potters.

The most excited person in the group was Petunia. When she saw her sister's tombstone, Harry discovered that there was someone who could cry harder than Moaning Myrtle.

Petunia stood in front of her sister's grave with the support of her husband. Dudley took off the backpack he had been carrying on his back and took out a wreath of white flowers from the backpack.

Harry thought that if he saw correctly, the white lilies that made up this wreath should be the lilies that Aunt Petunia planted in a small field in the garden that was never touched by others.

Perhaps it had been a long time since the lilies were picked, or perhaps Dudley hugged his backpack too tightly in the car. Most of the lilies on the wreath looked wilted, which made Dudley's expression change. not too good.

Ginny took out her wand and walked in front of Dudley. Dudley's body trembled and he wanted to shrink back, but his reason made him stand there motionless and at the same time, he handed the garland forward.

Then Dudley looked at his cousin's girlfriend and gave him a friendly smile, chanted a magic spell and clicked the wreath with the wand, and then the whole wreath became as if it had just been picked from the ground. Watery and refreshing.

The Dursleys didn't notice this scene. After Petunia took the wreath from her son's hand, she placed it in front of Lily's tombstone with trembling hands.

Harry stood aside and looked at Aunt Petunia. At this moment, he suddenly thought of what Zhang Xu said when he and Zhang Xu talked about the Dursleys many years ago, "On that day, it was not just you. Losing both parents, and one sister losing her sister forever.”

Next, Harry placed a slightly larger wreath in the middle of his parents' tombstone.

Harry didn't tell anyone the reason why he wanted to pay homage to his parents on his birthday. He just suddenly told everyone during breakfast a few days ago that he wanted to visit Godric's Hollow. At that time, neither the Weasley family nor Hermione realized what Harry meant. Only Black, who came for breakfast every day, agreed to Harry's plan after a moment of silence.

Harry's inner thoughts when he made this decision were,

You should take a look at your parents and your former home before you die.

The incident where Voldemort led the Death Eaters to attack the Hogwarts train gave Harry a great stimulus, especially when he saw Zhang Xu, whose life and death were unknown, finally being carried away on a stretcher by the people who arrived. This made him truly feel that this was a tragic war, a war in which he might end up sleeping underground like his parents at any time.

So he planned to accomplish something while he was still alive, so that if he were to die, he could die without any regrets.

For some time now, Harry, who had been in a pessimistic mood, had become gloomy. He could only force a smile when in front of others.

Harry's changes were noticed by those who were interested, but since there was no way to help Harry, they could only worry on the sidelines.

While Harry and his party completed their journey to Godric's Hollow, Zhang Xu, thousands of miles away, was sitting at a desk, writing furiously on a piece of paper.

When Zhang Xu finished writing the last word, Furong, who was wearing pajamas, held a steaming wooden cup and placed it next to the desk.

After Furong put down the cup, she walked behind Zhang Xu and rubbed his temples, and said to him, "Didn't you say you should go to bed early? Why did you stay up so late?"

Zhang Xu leaned on the chair, feeling the pressure of the hibiscus fingers around his temples, and said with relief: "I wrote a resignation letter to Professor Dumbledore, and I decided to resign as an acting professor starting from the next academic year. I gave Bubbaji a letter before The professor wrote to discuss the matter and she agreed to return to Hogwarts early."

Fleur didn't comment on the matter and just said "hmm" softly.

At this moment, Zhang Xu's cell phone suddenly rang on the desk.

Zhang Xu picked up the phone and looked at the caller number, then immediately walked to the balcony with the phone.

When Furong saw Zhang Xu's serious expression, she left the room and walked to the bedroom upstairs.

Fleur walked into the bedroom and saw the sleeping Gabrielle kicking a thin blanket to the floor, and then helped her cover the blanket.

Although the temperature is very high during the day, it is still very cold at night in the mountains. If you are not careful, you will still catch a cold.

After covering Gabrielle with a blanket, Fleur came to the other bed in the room, took off the wooden shoes on her feet, and sat on the bed leaning against the headboard.

On the other side of the bed was a window. Curtains woven with some kind of herb unknown to Furong hung on the window. Mosquitoes outside the room did not dare to take a step closer to the window.

The moonlight outside the window spreads into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Furong quietly looked at the curtains that were sometimes swayed by the evening breeze, and listened to the footsteps of Zhang Xu on the balcony downstairs while pacing on the phone while on the phone.

Furong couldn't hear the voice coming from the phone that had been enchanted, and couldn't even hear the voice of Zhang Xu who was holding the phone.

The only sound coming from the window was the sound of Zhang Xu's footsteps walking on the wooden floor of the balcony.

About half an hour later, Zhang Xu's footsteps came back to the room, followed by the exaggerated sound of "gu dong, gu dong" drinking water.

It wasn't until Zhang Xu's footsteps came from the stairs and walked into the next room that Furong felt relieved. She didn't have to worry about him running away as soon as he received the call.

Early the next morning, Furong was awakened by the sound of Gabrielle and Zhang Xu playing in Zhang Xu's room next door.

After changing clothes, Furong grabbed Gabrielle from Zhang Xu's room, who was urging Zhang Xu to get up quickly, and asked her to wait in the hall downstairs.

After Zhang Xu changed clothes, washed up and went downstairs, Gabrielle, who couldn't wait any longer, pulled him and ran to the river where the bamboo baskets were put up and down last night.

There was mist in the valley in the early morning, and people were already working in the medicine fields.

Gabrielle trotted along the riverside path and immediately left Furong and Zhang Xu behind.

"What happened to the phone call last night?" Fleur asked pretending to be absent-minded.

"There was a problem in the UK, and the relevant departments responsible for handling it just came to ask me some questions." Zhang Xu pretended to be nonchalant and replied, "They know that I am recuperating, so I don't need to go there with them."

Zhang Xu didn't know that Fu Rong was worried about her own safety. She was also worried that she would be suddenly called away by a phone call and that she might have to wait another year for her next return.

Now that Zhang Xu didn't have to appear in person, he simply called in sick and spent the holiday in this isolated place.

Walking to the place where the bamboo basket was placed yesterday, Gabrielle had already picked up the bamboo basket with the floating spell.

Zhang Xu walked over and took a look at the harvest in several bamboo baskets and found that today's breakfast had been taken care of.

After pouring the fish caught in several bamboo baskets into one bamboo basket, he put them all back into the river, and then let the delighted Gabrielle run back to the stilted building with a bamboo basket of fish, while Zhang Xu and Furong Then he walked back slowly while picking bracken that was still wet with dew on the roadside.

When Zhang Xu and Fu Rong returned to the stilted building covered in dew, Scarlet had already processed all the eels caught this morning and cooked porridge, and was now frying lotus fish.

Today's breakfast is eel porridge, pan-fried lotus fish and cold bracken. Perhaps it was because Gabrielle carried these fish back by herself that she ate very delicious breakfast today.

After breakfast, Scarlet went to the village to treat the sequelae caused by the influence of the Horcrux some time ago.

Gabrielle was given free rein by Furong and Zhang Xu. After being exposed to such an environment for the first time, she went crazy. She ran wildly by the fields and rivers every day, sometimes watching the villagers working in the medicine fields, and sometimes I learned how to fish by others on the river, and occasionally had fights with the geese raised in the village.

Everyone in the village knew that she was Zhang Xu's sister-in-law in the future, so no one stopped her. Instead, they tricked her into filming a set of advertising videos. The reward was a basket of herbs that could be used as snacks and made by the village elders in their free time. snacks.

It's just that Zhang Xu looked at Gabrielle who was having more and more fun, and was afraid that her style would become like a naughty child in the future.

In addition to accompanying Zhang Xu, Furong was often dragged away by her seven aunts and eight aunts. Sometimes we sit together under the tree at the head of the village, making mosquito repellent sachets with herbs, and chatting about home affairs. Sometimes I was called to the house by the aunt to help make some local snacks. Occasionally, I would be asked by some lady to go to the medicine field to help take care of the herbs.

Later, Zhang Xu severely condemned the bad behavior of his elders for treating his daughter-in-law as free labor, and said that if there was good food and good food as payment, then he would just turn a blind eye.

In the end, Zhang Xu's attempt failed. Everyone in the village knew that he was recuperating and had to avoid eating, so the delicious food was only given to Sister Furong and even Scarlet. Zhang Xu could only continue to live a simple life.

Now Zhang Xu has entered the retired cadre mode, and sometimes a pot of tea on the balcony can kill half a day.

If you feel like being active, go to the small square by the river and play a few games of chess with the tourists who come for a summer vacation.

Or go to the Cuntou Lake and listen to the villagers over 90 years old bragging and pouring chicken soup for the soul to the tourists.

Sometimes I get really greedy, so I sneak into the mountains to catch pheasants for tooth sacrifice.

Later, Zhang Xu simply set up a painting stall in a corner of the small square, painted a few landscape paintings and hung them there. The tourists took notice and took away the paintings after throwing money in the money box next to them.

Zhang Xu's ink paintings have now reached the level of being used in paintings, and many tourists buy his paintings as souvenirs.

When tourists took Zhang Xu's paintings home and found that mosquitoes could not enter the room where the paintings were hung, when they tried to look for Zhang Xu again, they found that he had already disappeared into the sea of ​​people.
