Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Time soon came to the first weekend after school started. ◢Щщш.sUimEnG.lā

When Zhang Xu came to the cafeteria, many classmates greeted him one after another, and also made jokes such as "We will call you Your Excellency from now on."

The Ministry of Magic did not deliberately conceal the awarding of the Order of Merlin, and Zhang Xu was not the only one who was awarded the Order of Merlin at the same time. There is no need to deliberately inquire, Zhang Xu knew from the discussions among his classmates a few days ago who were the people who were awarded the medal at the same time as him.

Not to mention that Zhang Xu's aunt also revealed some inside information behind the list to him.

After Zhang Xu got the list of honors, combined with the inside information behind it, he had to admire the current Minister of Magic Scrimgeour.

This lion-like minister not only has a vigorous and resolute style, but also has a delicate side.

Just like the usual weekend breakfasts, the students no longer have the pressure to wait for class, and they are chatting happily while trying to fill their stomachs as much as possible before the owl rain arrives.

Today is the day for the Quidditch team of Eagle Academy to recruit new players. Many students who are interested in joining the team have asked the old players about recruiting new players.

At the same time, several first-year freshmen came to recommend themselves to Zhang Qiu. They believed that they were good enough to reach the standard of an official player in the first grade like Harry Potter did.

Zhang Qiu, who was not tired of taking the trouble, could only send them to the flying club by the lake to fly the most difficult obstacle course around the lake, and then go to the Quidditch pitch to find her with the results.

After Zhang Qiu sent away the freshmen, it was time for Owl Rain.

After going through some chaos, Zhang Xu got his subscription to the Daily Prophet.

Today's front page headlines instantly shocked the students who read the newspaper, while the students who did not subscribe to the newspaper asked for information from their classmates who were stunned by the news in the newspaper.

Zhang Qiu looked at the newspaper in Zhang Xu's hand and asked in surprise: "Isn't this fake news?"

"I think this should be true." Zhang Xu replied while looking at the newspaper, "Such a thing cannot be false."

Then Zhang Qiu, like other students who read the news in the newspaper, looked at Malfoy sitting at the table in the snake courtyard with sympathetic eyes.

Today's newspaper headline is "Shocked!" Malfoy Manor was attacked and burned down! 》.

News reports said that late last night, Arthur Weasley, director of the Office of Detection and Collection of Counterfeit Defense Spells and Protective Equipment, led a team to conduct a surprise inspection of Malfoy Manor. It is reported that his team took action after receiving information secretly revealed by an informant.

However, when Arthur Weasley and his men arrived at Malfoy Manor, they found that the main buildings in the manor were burning and on fire, and there were obvious traces of battle left around the manor gardens.

Arthur Weasley immediately reported the situation to the Ministry of Magic, and Minister of Magic Scrimgeour and Director of the Auror Office Percy Weasley immediately led a team to the scene to carry out emergency response work.

As of press time, the Malfoy couple, the owners of Malfoy Manor, are still missing.

The report also included an aerial photo of the Malfoy home billowing with smoke, presumably taken by a photographer riding a broomstick from the sky.

Zhang Xu looked towards Malfoy. The pony's back was turned to Zhang Xu, so Zhang Xu couldn't see what his expression was like, but judging from the shaking of the newspaper in his hand, it was obvious that he was not feeling well in his heart. calm.

In this regard, Zhang Xu could only say "haha".

"Do you know who did it?" Zhang Qiu asked Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu shook his head and smiled without saying a word. He was not involved in this matter. This level of action is not something that a little shrimp like him can participate in.

It can be said that the only person in Hogwarts who knows the details of this matter is Zhang Xu. Even Dumbledore probably only knows a rough idea, and Snape is probably still confused.

The work in March this year was completed within a week, and some people almost had to write a form of persuasion to the elders.

However, not long after the top combat force had taken their vacation, they encountered the collapse of the Brockdale Bridge, causing the casualties of several international students.

After learning that the British government was unable to arrest the murderer, the domestic people called Zhang Xu who was recuperating in the mountains overnight to ask for opinions and suggestions. The next day, they organized several tour groups to go to the UK to "travel" and take a look. Can you get some souvenirs called "Death Eaters"?

And it's not just the domestic ones who are planning this. As far as Zhang Xu knows, teams from France and Russia have also arrived in the UK.

This is a very serious diplomatic issue, but the British government has no way to deal with it. Just like during the Quidditch World Cup, the activities of foreign wizards in the UK are under the control of the Ministry of Magic. This is why the British Prime Minister Jim Harker is so angry with Fudge and Scrimgeour.

Jim Harker did not immediately stop the government wizard who was in charge of security in the office from subduing the two ministers of the Ministry of Magic and the Aurors who came to serve as bodyguards. It was somewhat because he felt very angry after seeing this scene.

Before the start of school, Zhang Xu learned that "travel groups" from three countries had jointly organized a group and had made some progress in investigating "local specialties."

No matter how detailed the information is, Zhang Xu's official identity level is not high enough, so Zhang Xu still knows the confidentiality rules, so he can only deduce the progress of the matter through some information he already knows.

Now it seems that they were collecting intelligence and waiting for the other party to lose their vigilance, and then launched a massive attack on one of the most important gathering points of Death Eaters.

Voldemort has many "nails" hidden in the Ministry of Magic, so every time the Ministry of Magic takes action, Voldemort can make corresponding arrangements in advance.

But this time facing an attack from outside the Ministry of Magic, Zhang Xu estimated that Voldemort was blind.

As for the missing Lao Ma and his wife, whose whereabouts were unknown, Zhang Xu had nothing to worry about. It's unreasonable that a family that has been in the family for hundreds of years doesn't have anything to protect their lives. Maybe the two of them are hiding somewhere now.

As for Xiao Ma, Zhang Xu didn't think he knew much.

Now Zhang Xu can only wait, waiting for the situation report from the embassy, ​​and waiting for the information from Rita Skeeter.

What happened yesterday can be said to be a landmark event in recent years.

If he had been imprisoned for a few years, Zhang Xu would have racked his brains to think about its impact.

And now...

?

After breakfast, Zhang Xu lay on the lawn by the lake and basked in the sun like a salted fish.

Anyway, there was someone above to take care of this matter, so he was happy to relax and wait for the party tonight.
