Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

"Zhang, Dobby is just..."

"Harry, you are still too young and naive." Zhang Xu interrupted Harry, "A killer will not have 'I am a killer' written on his face. A qualified killer, he will Do what he likes to please you, make you trust him, and then give you a fatal blow when you are most relaxed."

"Think about it, you couldn't enter the platform when school started, and you were separated from Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley, and there were no adult wizards around you. If you didn't fly away in the car immediately, if the black The Devil's subordinates are going to avenge the Dark Lord, do you think you and Ron still have a chance of survival?"

"You can feel the Bludger controlled by Dobby today. Did he not want to kill you, or did he fail to kill you under your dodge?"

"On Hallow's Eve, if you get to that place earlier than Mrs. Norris, maybe you, Ron and Hermione will be attacked."

"And Ginny was seriously injured in the attack, and there are still many doubts."

"In such a short period of time, you, who have a special status, have encountered so many incidents. Do you think this is all accidental?"

"Professor Dumbledore and I realized that it would be very dangerous for you to rest alone in the ward tonight, so Professor Dumbledore asked Professor Snape and I to protect you in secret."

Harry looked at Snape who came out from another corner of the ward, dumbfounded.

Zhang Xu walked over and patted Harry's left shoulder, and continued: "I will hand Dobby to Professor Dumbledore. You should believe that he will not wrong a good person, nor will he let a bad person go."

Harry couldn't accept such a statement for a while, but he couldn't deny that what Zhang Xu said was very reasonable, and he couldn't refute it for a while.

At this time, the doors of the ward opened.

Immediately afterwards, Dumbledore stepped back into the ward. He holds one end of a sculptural object with both hands.

A second later, Professor McGonagall also appeared, carrying the thing's feet. Together they put it to bed.

"Go and get Madam Pomfrey," Dumbledore said to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall hurried out.

Dumbledore looked towards Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu pointed to Dobby who was tied up into rice dumplings on the ground, and nodded to Dumbledore.

At this time, Professor McGonagall walked in with Madam Pomfrey.

"What's the matter?" whispered Madam Pomfrey to Dumbledore, leaning over the statue.

"Another attack," said Dumbledore. "McGonagall found him on the stairs."

"It's Colin Creevey, with a bunch of grapes beside him," said Professor McGonagall. "We guess he wants to sneak here to see Potter."

Harry covered his face with his good left hand, trembling all over.

Zhang Xu and Snape walked to the bedside together.

Zhang Xu saw that Colin kept a stunned expression on his face, his eyes were wide open, and his hands were stretched out in front of his chest, holding his camera.

"Petrified?" Madam Pomfrey asked.

"Yes," said Professor McGonagall, "I shudder to think of it, who knows what would have happened if Albus hadn't happened to come downstairs."

Zhang Xu and the other five looked at Colin intently. Then Dumbledore leaned forward and took the camera from Colin's stiff fingers.

"Did he take a picture of the attacker?" Professor McGonagall asked eagerly.

Dumbledore didn't answer. He pried open the back of the camera.

"My God!" exclaimed Madam Pomfrey.

A hot air hissed from the camera. Even Harry, who was three beds away, could smell a pungent smell of burning plastic.

"It's melted," Madam Pomfrey said in surprise, "it's completely melted."

"What does that mean, Albus?" asked Professor McGonagall urgently.

"This means," said Dumbledore, "that the Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened again."

Madam Pomfrey put her hands over her mouth, and Professor McGonagall stared blankly at Dumbledore.

"But Albus, you must know who it is?"

"Maybe that house elf knows something." Dumbledore looked at Dobby on the ground.

"I have Veritaserum in my office." Snape said the first words of the night.

After a while, Dumbledore reassured Harry and took Dobby away.

Madam Pomfrey checked Harry's hand and left too.

Zhang Xu followed Professor McGonagall out, and said to Professor McGonagall, "Professor McGonagall, can I take up your time? Can you take me to the place where Colin Creevey was found."

Professor McGonagall glanced at Zhang Xu and nodded.

At this time Snape followed up and said to Zhang Xu: "Mr. Zhang, your performance tonight was terrible."

In the ward tonight, Zhang Xu and Snape each had a division of labor.

Snape was responsible for preventing the target from apparating and escaping, while Zhang Xu was responsible for capturing the target.

As a result, Snape completed the task very well, while Zhang Xu almost lost his game.

Zhang Xu said to Snape with a smile: "Professor Snape, I found that my strength is not enough, you can teach me how to do it."

Snape, who was already familiar with Zhang Xu, was noncommittal. After walking for a while, he said to Zhang Xu, "Come to my office tomorrow." After speaking, he turned and walked to the office in the basement.

"Professor McGonagall, you can also teach me how to do it." Zhang Xu turned to Professor McGonagall again.

"What do you want to learn?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Animagus."

"Aren't you afraid of becoming a fish in the end?"

Zhang Xu: (~_~;)

"Come to my office when you're free. We're here," said Professor McGonagall.

The crime took place at the place where a staircase was going down to the corridor, where a bunch of grapes were still lying quietly.

After Zhang Xu asked where Colin fell, he stood over.

Standing in Colin's position, Zhang Xu saw that the stairs were directly facing a corridor. At the end of the corridor was a corner. On the wall, the lights from the corridor on the other side of the corner could be seen.

"He probably saw the shadow of the lights in the corridor over there, and was attacked when he picked up the camera to take pictures." Zhang Xu said to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall nodded.

After the two found no valuable clues around, they went back to their respective nests.

Before Zhang Xu left, he took the bunch of grapes with him.

Lying on the bed, Zhang Xu suffered from insomnia.

The wand was taken away by Dobby today, which dealt a great blow to Zhang Xu.

He is not lacking in strength, but also has the wrong mentality.

If Zhang Xu had been serious at that time, Dobby's "Disarm You" would not have been successful.

If Zhang Xu hadn't always had a heart for close combat, he had fought martial arts with his father since he was a child, and his physical fitness was not bad, otherwise he would be like other wizards today, losing his wand would be tantamount to surrendering.

After coming to Hogwarts, especially after relying on the equipment to fight the basilisk, Zhang Xu had the mentality of being a hero in the world, so he underestimated the enemy and forgot that Taizu "despised the enemy strategically and valued the enemy tactically" teachings.

After realizing his mistake, Zhang Xu fell asleep while thinking about how to increase his strength.
