Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

It was late at night, and most of the professors and students in the kitchen left after eating and drinking.

Luna rubbed her stuffed belly and said to Zhang Xu, "It's all your fault, my belly is starting to get bigger."

Zhang Xu hit her with a routine blow, knocking Luna into a defensive state with her head in her arms.

Then Zhang Qiu, who was sitting on the other side of Zhang Xu, avenged Luna with his fists.

"I feel like I'm getting fat, so I get up earlier every morning and go to the lake for a morning run." Zhang Xu said to Luna, "When I was rushing to eat just now, I didn't see you being slow in starting."

"No way, it's more delicious than the colorful ball fish." Luna said.

Zhang Xu was speechless, and then rushed her back to go to bed early.

After asking Luna and Zhang Qiu to go back to the dormitory to rest early, Zhang Xu took the hawthorn tea handed over by Dobby and said to Harry who had not left yet: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Harry organized his words and then said: "About what Bell said today, is he telling the truth?"

Zhang Xu took a sip of hawthorn tea, then sighed and said, "This is a matter for the men in No. 10 Downing Street. It's too early for you to care about these things."

"Who is Bell?" Ron suddenly asked.

Zhang Xu glanced at Harry in confusion, and Harry said, "I didn't tell Ron and Hermione about that."

Feelings, you brought the two of them here to eat meat, Zhang Xu sighed in his heart.

"Bear Grylls, he is a soldier of the British Army. We met them in the Forbidden Forest today." Zhang Xu explained to Ron, "We have cooperated before."

Then Zhang Xu briefly told Ron some details about how multiple parties collaborated to take down a Death Eater den last year.

Harry had heard this from Lupine and Black, but Ron and Hermione knew next to nothing about it.

Ron had no reaction to this matter, but Hermione reacted immediately, and then looked at Zhang Xu with wide eyes. She was the one who found it most incredible that there were wizards in the British army.

Just as Hermione was about to ask more about this matter, Harry asked: "Then what did he say about a manor being attacked and a wizard being kidnapped?"

Zhang Xu put the tea cup in his hand on the table and said: "It's a long story. You should remember that a bridge collapsed last summer and a bus fell into the river full of students."

Hermione was the first to nod. This incident had a great impact on Muggle society. She had read about it in the newspaper at the time.

Zhang Xu continued: "There were international students from several countries on the bus, and these countries jointly demanded that the British government severely punish the murderer. Later, the British government discovered several Death Eaters such as Rodolphus Lestrange on nearby cameras. There were traces of him, so he concluded that they were responsible for this matter. However, these Death Eaters later hid in Malfoy's house, causing the arrests of the British government and the Ministry of Magic to fail."

"Then Malfoy's house was burned down," Ron said.

"Yes, because several countries where the victims were located decided to unite and take action themselves." Zhang Xu said.

Harry and the others were still young and had no idea what such an action would mean to the British government. Zhang Xu later learned that this blatant challenge to British sovereignty made the British government very angry and passive.

"How did they break the protective magic of Malfoy Manor?" Harry asked. "The Order of the Phoenix spent a long time unable to find it."

"You know the reason why electronic products cannot be used in Hogwarts," Zhang Xu said. "If you think about it in reverse, you can find some simple and crude cracking methods, such as high-power electromagnetic pulse devices."

"Eletr..." The Harry trio said they didn't recognize the word.

Zhang Xu also shrugged, saying that it was too troublesome to explain, so he didn't bother to explain it to you.

"Then what?" Harry asked after giving up the awkward word.

"Then several Death Eaters, including Rodolphus Lestrange, were captured, and then wizards from Russia set fire to Malfoy's house.

"Zhang Xu said, "Later, as a result of some negotiations, after the British government agreed to some small conditions from the governments of several other countries, those Death Eaters were handed over to the relevant British departments for processing. "

"What are the conditions?" Harry asked curiously.

"No comment." Zhang Xu replied.

Although Zhang Xu had read the briefing on this matter from relevant domestic departments, he still could not speak out about these things. The domestic conditions only require the British intelligence agencies to stop supporting certain people in causing trouble in the future. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that certain people will support wizarding groups such as Death Eaters without authorization.

"So the British atomic bomb is also guarded by military wizards, right?" Hermione asked suddenly.

"It was inevitable at this time," Zhang Xu said. "If not, Britain's nuclear weapons would have been controlled by Soviet wizards during the Cold War."

"That's good." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, "I also want to remind Professor Dumbledore to pay attention to this."

"Then why did Professor Slughorn call Bell and the others traitors?" Harry asked.

"The reason is the same as the Weasley family being called 'pure-blood traitors'." Zhang Xu replied.

The Harry trio understood instantly.

Next, Harry and the others asked some questions about the government's wizards, and Zhang Xu roughly told them the history of this group of wizards.

Soon after, the Harry trio left. For them, tonight is a night of great harvest, both materially and spiritually. This news is enough for them to digest for a while.

After Harry and the others left the kitchen, it seemed that Zhang Xu was the only one left here.

Zhang Xu walked towards where the professors were just now. When he approached, Dumbledore's figure appeared in the originally empty seat.

After finding a seat next to him and sitting down, Zhang Xu asked Lao Deng: "Is this really good, professor?"

"A large number of huge footprints were found on the beach near Dover." Dumbledore ignored Zhang Xu's question and said, "More and more giants are coming to the UK. In addition to giants, there are also werewolves from other parts of Europe. The werewolf army has been reorganized. Voldemort is gathering strength, and we also need to find more allies. It would be good for some allies to get to know Harry."

"Now the Ministry of Magic in other countries on the European continent is happily driving those dangerous elements in their own countries to the UK." Zhang Xu said, "Whether they are dark wizards or werewolves, as long as they come to the UK, they will secretly destroy them. Open the door of convenience.”

"Some even suggested that the one from Nurmengard came to England to meet old friends."

"Voldemort is a very cautious man," Dumbledore said. "He will not take action until he has accomplished something."

"Speaking of that old friend, he said he wanted to meet you." Dumbledore said finally.

"Gellert Grindelwald wants to see me?" Zhang Xu was frightened. "Why does he want to see me?"

Zhang Xu, who almost fell off the chair, sat back down and then changed into a position where he would not fall easily.

"He just wants to have a chat with you," Dumbledore said. "He's been wanting to see you."

Zhang Xu tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about why the Dark Lord wanted to chat with him. After thinking for a while he replied, "Okay, when?"

"Let's take the Easter holiday," Dumbledore said. "After the holiday, I will give you a holiday until the end of this semester and let you return to China to take the college entrance examination."

Zhang Xu was speechless. This reason was very powerful and tempting.

"Why?" Zhang Xu asked, looking into Dumbledore's eyes.

"You are the last resort. I don't want you to be in extreme and uncontrollable danger." Dumbledore said, looking at Zhang Xu with firm eyes.

"I'll catch Malfoy later, tie him up with rocks, and sink him to the bottom of the lake, or dig a hole in the Forbidden Forest and bury him. This way the danger will be controllable," Zhang Xu said.

The corner of Dumbledore's mouth was a little cramped, because if he didn't stop it, Zhang Xu's action was likely to succeed. Using Harry's safety as an excuse to deceive Dobby and kidnap Malfoy out was a matter of minutes.

"Malfoy's action is necessary," Dumbledore said. "Only in this way can Voldemort feel at ease."

"Then you're not afraid that I'll never come back?" Zhang Xu finally asked curiously, "You know I have a strong desire to survive and will run away if something goes wrong."

"Then I can only choose to believe you." Dumbledore replied, "After all, you are the biggest uncontrollable factor in my plan."

"Let me think about it." Zhang Xu sighed and said, "If things change, I will act from my heart."
