Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Night gently surrounded Hogwarts Castle, and the hurried figures in the dim candlelight in the corridors were like ghosts.

Large loudspeaker systems distributed throughout the school broadcast emergency evacuation notices, and students who were conducting activities in various club activity rooms and playing by the lake rushed to the common room of their college.

Students gathered in the common room talked worriedly about the sudden evacuation. Soon, news of a possible attack on the Ministry of Magic spread throughout the common rooms of various houses. Because when many students came back from the lake and passed the castle gate, they saw Professor Scarlet, who was still wearing evening clothes, rushing to the school doctor's office with the unconscious Ginny in his arms.

The students all know that Zhang Xu and the others went to the Ministry of Magic to receive the award. Many people also heard that Harry asked Ginny to be his partner. Because of Zhang's attendance, a certain professor attended the party together. It’s not surprising in the eyes of old students.

After such a series of analysis, the students basically deduced that something big happened at the medal ceremony.

The portrait of the Fat Lady was opened. At the entrance of the common room in the Lion Court, a group of seventh- and sixth-grade students raised their wands and pointed at the hole.

After Ron climbed in and matched the code, the students put away their wands.

While Ron was sitting at a table by the fireplace, many students gathered around to inquire about the situation.

Hermione, who was sitting at the table together, asked eagerly: "How is Ginny doing now?"

Ron lowered his head, gripping his red hair with both hands on the table, and frowned so hard that he could hold a quill.

After a while, under the anxious eyes of the surrounding students, Ron said slowly: "Professor Scarlet said that there was an explosion at the awards night held at the Ministry of Magic today."

As soon as Ron finished speaking, there was an exclamation in the common room.

Ron ignored them and continued: "While Zhang was about to speak, the award podium suddenly exploded, and then the entire party fell into chaos."

"Harry and Zhang should have escaped, and then Professor Scarlet also escaped with the injured Ginny."

"Ginny just hit her head with something and Madam Pomfrey said she would be fine with a night's rest."

While the students were discussing and guessing,

After Dobby reported the contents of his previous phone call with Zhang Xu, he left Dumbledore's office.

Dumbledore's office, alone, fell into silence.

Dumbledore, who was sitting in the chair, leaned back and twisted his body to a comfortable position. Then he slowly closed his blue eyes.

Dumbledore had a little habit of taking a break from his busy work, closing his eyes, and then recalling some things from many years ago in his mind for ten minutes.

It's just that this little habit of his has never been shown in front of others.

Although his magic power is very strong, he is also a human being, and he is still an old man over a hundred years old. He will also be tired, but he is unwilling to show his fatigue in front of others at this time.

Today, Dumbledore recalled the day when he first fought Voldemort in front of ten dozen people, and thought of his comrades who sacrificed their lives in the battle with Voldemort.

At the end of ten minutes, Dumbledore did not open his eyes and continue his work, but continued to sink into deep thoughts.

Just now, Dumbledore found that the world was becoming more and more unfamiliar to him, although to him the scope of this "world" was only on the island of Great Britain.

He naturally knew that the British government had wizards, but it was impossible for the previous Ministry of Magic to have any contact with them. And now the hookups between the two parties are becoming more and more frequent.

In the past, Voldemort would only launch attacks on individuals and families in the wizarding world, but now the Death Eaters he leads will launch attacks on large targets such as Hogwarts trains and the Ministry of Magic's awards night.

In the past, Voldemort only had a group of hardcore Death Eaters, but now he has begun to recruit a large number of low-level dark wizards to strengthen his power.

And many changes beyond Voldemort...

It’s not that I don’t understand, it’s that the world is changing rapidly.

Over the past few hundred years, the magic world has not changed as much as it has in the past few years.

At this moment, Dumbledore felt tired and unable to keep up with his thinking.

"So where did all this change begin?" Dumbledore thought.

Zhang Xu's face first appeared in Dumbledore's mind.

In the past two years, Dumbledore fully understood what Mr. Zhao from the East meant in his letter to himself when he said, "I have chosen a student for Hogwarts who can inject fresh vitality into Hogwarts." .

Although this student poured a lot of his energy into Beauxbatons, the changes he brought about in everything he did at Hogwarts were tangible.

Dumbledore felt that he could not see through this student because his behavior was really inconsistent with his age.

At that time, Dumbledore also wrote to Mr. Zhao asking if this guy was an adult who had applied some Eastern secret technique to rejuvenate his youth.

This question also exists among other professors.

Mr. Zhao later wrote him a letter to prove that he was indeed born in 1980, and then went on to say, "Children of the revolution mature early, and children of the poor become rich early." He chose to believe it.

The first time Dumbledore couldn't see through Zhang was when Zhang formed a large group and defeated Quirrell's 3 to 5-person dungeon.

When Dumbledore hid in the Mirror of Erised, he thought he was seeing Harry Potter and several friends, including Zhang Xu, coming to the level together and working together to defeat Voldemort. Possessed Quirrell.

What he saw was a group of students rolling over like a steamroller.

Dumbledore, who was planning to train Harry Potter into a powerful wizard, discovered for the first time that things were out of his control, and it was Zhang who caused all this.

That night, after calming down, Dumbledore discovered another possibility for Harry Potter's evolutionary path after some thinking.

So he quietly upgraded the "Harry Potter Warrior Development Plan" to the "Harry Potter Leader Development Plan". A Harry Potter who led everyone to fight against Voldemort seemed better than fighting Voldemort alone. The choice of Harry Potter is more practical.

So after making some moves, Dumbledore tried to let the students do it in the second year.

It's just that Dumbledore didn't expect to encounter the basilisk incident that year.

The final result made Dumbledore ecstatic, because he found that the fighting power of the combined students was beyond his expectations.

The second time Dumbledore couldn't see through Zhang was a year ago.
