There are some words that may be interpreted differently by others when spoken by different people. Similarly, the same sentence spoken by the same person with different expressions will have different meanings in the eyes of others.

After leaving the school doctor's office, Zhang Xu frowned and asked Professor McGonagall who was walking beside him: "Professor McGonagall, I have a question about some family traditions in the UK. Can I ask you for advice?"

Professor McGonagall was a little surprised. After teaching at Hogwarts for so many years, she had been asked countless questions by students, ranging from magic knowledge to whether she likes to eat fish, but this was the first time she was asked about family traditions. But considering that Zhang Xu is a foreigner, it makes sense to ask such a question.

Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall replied: "What questions do you have?"

"Professor McGonagall, here in the UK, if a woman cheats on her husband and has a child, and it is difficult for the child to use the father's surname, can the child use the mother's surname before marriage? If so, then that Will my mother's ancient family accept that child?" Zhang Xu's expression was still very sad after he finished asking the question, as if this was a very serious problem for him.

After asking the question, Zhang Xu continued to take two or three steps forward. Only then did he realize that Professor McGonagall had not followed.

Zhang Xu turned his head and found Professor McGonagall frozen on the spot, her hands shaking a little under her robe, and the expression on her face was as if she saw long hair like Dumbledore's beard growing on Voldemort's head.

When talking to smart people, the good thing is that sometimes smart people can draw inferences, and sometimes smart people can't stop and think too much.

Before Zhang Xu had time to deny the third consecutive incident, Professor McGonagall stared with disbelief and asked: "Merlin's beard! Who are you with... you are still cheating... This has been the case for so many years since the establishment of Hogwarts. Never before!"

"It's not me, I didn't, don't think about it!" Zhang Xu hurriedly denied. It wouldn't work if she didn't deny it immediately. If Professor McGonagall's mind continued to run wild, she might ask Zhang Xu if the other party was Ron's mother or Neville's grandmother.

Looking at Professor McGonagall's suspicious eyes, Zhang Xu continued: "That person's name cannot be mentioned, and I promised the principal that the identities of both parties will not be revealed."

"Albus!" The shocked expression on Professor McGonagall's face was as if she had seen Voldemort pole dancing.

"How could he...isn't he...too old..."

When Zhang Xu saw Professor McGonagall's performance, he knew that she had thought wrong again, and her reaction after thinking wrong was so intense that it was somewhat beyond Zhang Xu's expectation.

However, Zhang Xu did not correct Professor McGonagall this time. After all, he would rather kill the principal than the students. It would be better if the blame does not fall on him.

After being shocked for a while, Professor McGonagall returned to Zhang Xu's original question.

Professor McGonagall thought for a while and then said: "If it is an ancient family, what they value is the inheritance of blood, and they will not mind taking back children with the blood of their mother's mother into the family."

Zhang Xu nodded. He had some ideas for handling that matter while playing table tennis with Dumbledore, but some details needed to be improved.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Professor McGonagall interrupted Zhang Xu's thinking.

"I don't know yet." Zhang Xu replied, "It is said that the due date is around July."

Professor McGonagall said nothing, said goodbye to Zhang Xu at the next intersection, and left in a hurry.

Hermione got out of the hospital with Madam Pomfrey's approval as soon as she got up early. After leaving the school doctor's office, she went directly to the cafeteria for breakfast. It was not uncommon in Hogwarts for her to have an accident and end up lying in the school infirmary all night, so no one took it as a big deal.

The first day of school is always a joyful one. Everyone continued to talk about interesting things during the Christmas vacation while eating breakfast in the cafeteria. They also made a few jokes about Professor Dumbledore chasing after a certain classmate early this morning.

After all, a certain classmate had been chased and beaten by professors—especially Professor Snape—many times, and everyone gradually got used to it. This time, after the person who beat him became Professor Dumbledore, everyone was concerned about whether a certain classmate could successfully escape into the Forbidden Forest. After all, Professor Dumbledore is so powerful that students cannot imagine it. The student who failed to escape and was hung upside down on the top of the hall doing pendulum exercises is an example.

After being put down by Filch ten minutes before class, Zhang Xu immediately rushed to the Charms classroom on the fourth floor.

At the door of the classroom, Zhang Xu saw Malfoy hurried over from the other side of the corridor.

Just when Malfoy was about to open the door and walk into the classroom, Zhang Xu patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "Wait for me in the reading room at eleven o'clock tonight. If you don't come, you will bear the consequences."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xu entered the professor one second before class started, and Malfoy, who was stunned for a moment, was deducted five points by Professor Flitwick for being late.

The sixth-year wizards were very excited because the registration form for the annual Apparition training class appeared on the bulletin board in the common room this morning.

Many students who have been teased by their Apparition relatives since childhood have been waiting for this day for several years. They used to look forward to today when they saw this registration form every year.

Being excited about other things during class means not paying attention, and the consequences of not paying attention in spells class are somewhat serious.

Seamus Finnigan, who got Professor Flitwick wet for waving his wand, was copying "I'm a wizard, not a baboon waving a stick." While he was copying sentences on the parchment, he turned to Zhang Xu who was sitting at another table next to him: "Can you apparate, Zhang?"

"No." Zhang Xu shook his head and said.

"You actually don't know magic?" Seamus asked in surprise.

"Yes," Zhang Xu replied seriously, "I'm very bad at all kinds of explosions."

Zhang Xu's answer made the surrounding students laugh. There is a line in "What You Need to Know to Survive Hogwarts (1996 Edition)" that when Seamus Finnigan waves his wand, you either cast the Iron Armor Charm on yourself or stay away.

Professor Flitwick walked towards the place where the laughter came from, and then Zhang Xu hurriedly cast a clear spring like water spell. A stream of water spurted out from his wand and accurately fell into a goblet on the table. When the spell ends, the goblet is filled.

Professor Flitwick smiled and nodded, and left without saying anything. Regardless of ancient or modern times, good students always get some preferential treatment in class.
