Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

For several days after Halloween, the students talked about nothing but the attack on Mrs. Norris.

Gradually, as no new attacks appeared after half a month, the enthusiasm of the students for this matter began to fade.

In addition to the Harry Potter trio, there is another small group of students who have been continuing to investigate this matter.

Last year, half of Zhang Xu's team to brush Qiluo were seventh graders who were about to graduate at that time. They graduated after the end of last semester, and there are still more than 20 people in school now.

Among the three irons in life, there are students who have gone through the same window together and carried guns together. These students who have experienced these two irons together are naturally different from other students.

After the start of this semester, more than 20 people who are still in school still often do activities together. Soon, everyone formed a small group with members covering the four colleges.

When everyone was naming this group, Zhang Xu, who was writing a letter to China, casually said "after school afternoon tea time" to Zhang Qiu, who came to ask for opinions, and everyone thought it was good, so the group was called this name up.

This result gave Zhang Xu a little stomachache.

"After school afternoon tea time" is a relatively loose group. Usually, a group of people get together at a specific time when they are free. They also drink tea and gossip, read books and newspapers, taste food, play table tennis, and seek marriage and make friends. , learning mutual aid and other activities. We don't have a leader either, so we just elect a few people to take the lead when something happens. If members have suitable friends, they can bring them to the event. Group members also have their own standards for bringing friends. If the level is too low, I am embarrassed to bring them. As a result, in less than two months, the group had grown to nearly fifty members, and almost all of Hogwarts' top students were included. But the Harry Potter trio rarely come to events.

Such a loose group, Dumbledore pretended not to see it.

After Mrs. Norris was attacked, "tea time after school" started the mobilization mode of the whole regiment, led by a few students who were prefects, and started a large-scale investigation.

What surprised Zhang Xu was that everyone's investigation was very reliable, and the progress was much faster than that of the Harry Potter trio.

For more than half a month, the members of "Tea Time after School" confirmed from their family's historical materials that the Chamber of Secrets was the one left by Slytherin back then. They also found out that the Chamber of Secrets was once opened fifty years ago. The original victim was Weeping Myrtle, and the suspect was Rubeus Hagrid. The possible locations of the guessed entrance to the Chamber of Secrets also included the bathroom where Weeping Myrtle was.

As for the things in the secret room, everyone also listed several possibilities. There are not only a bunch of magic items that Zhang Xu has never heard of, but also magic monsters including basilisks.

It is just a descendant of Slytherin, so there is no reliable statement. They have investigated the genealogies of the students and professors at Hogwarts, even Filch, Mrs. Pomfrey and Mrs. Pince.

After all, there is strength in numbers. In the Harry Potter trio, Hermione is the only one who is responsible for wisdom, and there are a lot of masters. And they can also ask their families for help. Many members of the group belong to the magic family, and there is an old man who studied at school fifty years ago. After writing letters back, the old men in the family told them everything that happened that year. A copy of the Ministry of Magic's investigation report on the murder in the Chamber of Secrets was even sent to the home of a student in the Snake Academy.

Can't help but those magic families are so concerned about this matter, because they know how powerful such a student group is. Back then, Voldemort's team of Death Eaters was formed by the students who were recruited in the school. If the group continues to develop, it may become "tea time at the Ministry" in the future. If one's own children can occupy a place in this group, the role in the future will be limitless.

so far,

As long as you find out that Harry is a Parseltongue, and then find that faucet, then nothing will happen this year, and everyone will be happy to eat hot pot.

The progress of the matter made Zhang Xu feel a little sick to his stomach. All his previous considerations were in vain. Now he didn't have to bring the rhythm by himself, and he ran all the way on his own.

From Zhang Xu's point of view, it's all because the students at Hogwarts are too idle to play Sherlock Holmes games, and they're going to pass the level in no time.

When he first arrived at Hogwarts, Zhang Xu felt that the campus life of the students here was so monotonous.

There is no morning reading, no evening self-study, no in-class quizzes, no section tests, no extracurricular tutorials, and not too much homework.

It was a bit uncomfortable for a student like Zhang Xu, who is used to fighting in the mountains and seas of questions. Think about your previous life, night tour at school at night? Wouldn't it be nice to have that energy to do two extra papers?

The "examination-oriented education" of Zhang Xu's generation that the media kept bragging about back then was extremely backward. If things go on like this, the country will fail.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, the average age of the "Chang'e Project" team is over 30 years old, the average age of the large aircraft R\u0026D team is over 30 years old, and the average age of the high-speed EMU R\u0026D team is still over 30 years old. Zhang Xu estimates that in more than 20 years he will There is an opportunity to build the high-speed rail between London and Hogwarts.

Hogwarts is free because there are no extracurricular activities. For one Quidditch, there are only more than 50 people in the school's regular team plus the substitute team, and the rest are just watching.

Students in their teens are at the time when they are full of energy, and they have no place to vent their energy, so they can only violate school rules.

If the professors were asked to increase their homework by three to five times, then Harry's father would not have the energy to torment Snape. Maybe Snape would be able to marry his childhood sweetheart back home.

However, this all changed at the beginning of this semester.

During the summer vacation, Professor McGonagall went abroad to visit and visited Huaxia's magic school from junior high school to university. Since school was over in England in early July, Professor McGonagall caught up with the end of the term.

Then Professor McGonagall was shocked.

Professor McGonagall, who returned to Hogwarts with shock and thought, told Dumbledore and other professors what he had seen and heard in China, and everyone else fell silent.

Later, Dumbledore wrote a long letter and sent it to Zhang Xu.

The contents of this letter became the object of speculation by British historians for a long time afterwards. It was not until many years later, when commemorating the 30th anniversary of Dumbledore's death, that Zhang Xu made the letter public. Since then, British students have added a compulsory history question.

As the new term begins, Hogwarts students notice some changes in the school.

In terms of school regulations, the school has relaxed the management of nighttime, and the curfew time is changed to 10 o'clock on weekdays and 12 o'clock before holidays.

In extracurricular activities, the table tennis (magic version) that Zhang Xu brought to Ravenclaw was promoted by the whole school. The school also hinted that students can do more of their favorite leisure activities.

Immediately afterwards, the students discovered that among the new books brought by Zhang Xu in the reading room, there were more books on Muggle history, literature, society, economy, military and technology. What surprised Zhang Xu was that detective novels such as Sherlock Holmes' detective stories were the most borrowed among them.

Finally, the students discovered that the school had a new subject called mathematics. And the person who taught this course was a member of the magic family who fled to the east to seek refuge when Voldemort made troubles.

Through these changes, Zhang Xu can predict that many years later, the British wizarding world will face a turmoil even more violent than Voldemort's troubles.
