Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Zhang was not injured when Panda Wenjiu beat up the black bear, but he was also sweating. Although a small spell could get rid of the sweat on his body, Zhang Xu still chose to soak in the hot spring for a while. Taking a hot bath after strenuous exercise is a very enjoyable thing.

At this time, it began to rain lightly again, adding a touch of coolness to the mountain forest at night in summer.

When Zhang Xu returned to the hot spring, he looked at the two ketone bodies in the pool, which had been soaked in hot water and were white and rosy, floating on the water with a confused expression.

What the hell is this? Two people fall into the water and are about to drown. It’s a rhythm to see which one you can save first?

Please, you are wizards, okay? With so obvious traces of magic on your body, you will be fine if you stay like this for more than a month until the Mid-Autumn Festival, okay?

(????ω????)つ?

Zhang Xu, who was drinking still warm sake and humming "I opened the door and saw my wife lying on the ground with a kitchen knife stuck in her back and a sea of ​​blood on the ground" saw Furong and Scarlet emerging from the water. After Li stood up, he smiled and said to them: "Is your breath-holding contest over?"

Then Zhang was beaten up by two people.

Oh, let them vent their anger. Zhang Xu, who held his head in his hands and had a bleeding nose, thought.

It's not that he doesn't know what the problem is.

The night passed, and the book did not go into details.

It was impossible for Zhang Xu and the others to eat a black bear weighing several hundred kilograms, so he invited back the officials and wealthy businessmen who invited him to Japan this time.

In the end, the banquet also became a social event.

In ancient Japan, wizards mostly appeared in public as onmyoji.

Although Japan's Ministry of Magic has also joined the International Confederation of Wizards and abides by the International Statute of Secrecy, thousands of years of tradition cannot be easily changed by the International Confederation of Wizards in Europe, so Japanese dignitaries hire wizards as consultants It can be said that it is a tacit tradition that everyone has.

It's just that in the war half a century ago, Japan's wizards were severely injured and have not been able to recover until now. Even the magic school that trains wizards has experienced two disasters in a short period of time.

Once, it was breached by Chinese alchemists who made a long-distance attack, and was then demolished to pieces. Zhang Xu also bought some stones brought back from the antique market and used them to pave the stone pavement in the back garden.

the second time,

During the Battle of Okinawa, the US Pacific Fleet "accidentally received wrong information and orders", and then the top of the southern Okinawa Island where the magic was located was washed away by Missouri and the others.

Zhang Xu is now considered a word-of-mouth figure in the European magic world. Japanese wizards who have close ties with Europe have naturally heard of him. In addition, Furong was a participant in the Triwizard Tournament that year. As one of the players, their identity was also exposed by the "advisors" who came with the dignitaries.

Foreign wizards like to recite spells. An outstanding student from Hogwarts, a professor from Hogwarts, and an outstanding graduate from Beauxbatons. The combination of three teachers and students from well-established European schools is enough to make everyone present. The dignitaries were stunned for a moment, so they increased their emotional investment one after another.

Zhang Xu also struck while the iron was hot and began to connect his own business.

Aunt Niu's father said that wild bear meat has a pungent and fishy smell, and those bears that don't have these smells are artificially raised. The chef invited from Osaka was obviously prepared for this. The beaten black bear was made into bear meat hot pot, which was very delicious under the influence of spices, and everyone ate it with praise. As for the legendary bear paw, it tasted plump and plump, but Zhang felt that there were two malicious eyes staring at his hands from time to time, which made him a little frightened.

After Zhang Xu repaired the bear skin with magic, he gave it to the hotel owner. It was necessary for Zhang Xu to make good friends with such a political broker.

After leaving Osaka, I enjoyed a round of sunshine, sandy beaches, red taro tarts, Okinawa soba noodles, salted fish tofu, Ishigaki beef, sea grapes, fruit vinegar salad, taco rice, Agu black pork dishes, and seafood feast in Okinawa. After drinking with Awamori, Zhang Xu and his party embarked on a journey to Europe.

France, Lyon, coffee shop near the headquarters of the International Auror Organization.

"How many days will it take for you to go back to attend Bill and Charlie's wedding?" Zhang Xu asked Percy who was sitting opposite while stirring the coffee that had just been added with sugar and milk.

"I won't go back. The 'Rainbow Team' has just been formed and is still in the running-in period. If I leave now, it will have a bad impact on me." Percy replied.

"I think it's because your brothers are all together, and you're the only one single now, so you're embarrassed to go back, right?" Zhang Funny Face asked in a tone that didn't deserve a beating.

Percy squinted at Zhang Xu and said, "Believe it or not, I'll call a dozen people to beat you up?"

"Hey, you, a little rookie, are so prestigious now?" Zhang Xu asked in surprise, "It has only been less than a week since you gathered, right?"

"I relied on this to conquer them." Percy said, pointing to his brain.

"Whoever disobeys will be given a headbutt?" Zhang Xu continued to ask.

Then Percy rolled his eyes at the guy.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xu asked in a deep voice: "What happened that night?"

"Alas..." Percy sighed deeply. He knew what Zhang Xu meant by that day.

He organized his language and said, "After receiving the letter from you, I organized a team of people to quietly stay near the Pig Head Bar."

"After Winky came to report the news that day, we immediately entered Hogwarts through the secret passage of the Pig's Head Bar."

"There were many Death Eaters in the castle at that time, and they blocked all the roads leading to the principal's office. Almost all the students in the school organized themselves, and they tried to open the way to the principal's office."

"Not long after, people from the Order of the Phoenix also came, so I asked the professors to take the students to continue to put pressure on the Death Eaters, and I took a few Aurors and a few members of the Order of the Phoenix led by Moody to form a commando team. Under the leadership of Filch, he bypassed the Death Eaters' blockade through a secret passage, and then faced a group of Death Eaters at the door of the principal's office."

"Just when we were about to break through their obstruction, Snape, Draco Malfoy and several other Death Eaters rushed out of the principal's office."

Having said this, Percy lowered his head and looked at the coffee in front of him and was silent for a long time. After almost five minutes, he continued: "They were shouting 'Dumbledore is dead'."

"We were all stunned at the time and couldn't stop them for a while and let them run away."

"Then the Death Eaters in the castle retreated and left Hogwarts through the gate. However, they were ambushed as soon as they exited the gate."

"Later we found Dumbledore's body under the tower of the principal's office. He fell out of the office window. At the same time, there was Harry who was petrified under the invisibility cloak."

Speaking of this, both Zhang Xu and Percy were silent for a long time.

Percy used a magic spell to heat up the cold coffee in the cup and drank it all in one gulp. Then he asked, "Do you know where the Death Eaters entered Hogwarts Castle from?"

Zhang Xu sat slumped on the chair and said, "The secret room."

"You know?" Percy looked at Zhang Xu with wide eyes, "I heard Harry said that he went to inspect the secret room with you!"

The implication of Percy's words was self-evident, and Zhang Xu could only shake his head with a wry smile.

Then Percy suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, Scarlet should have told you."

"I knew it before," Zhang Xu said in a low voice, "He also knew it."

Percy was stunned, and then asked in an incredible tone: "What do you mean?"

"Why do you think Harry and I failed to find the cabinet in the secret room?" Zhang Xu said, "That's because he didn't want us to find it."

At this moment, Percy was stunned as if he was under a petrification spell. It took him a long time to squeeze out a word, "Why?"

"I also want to know this question." Zhang Xu replied helplessly, "I tried to persuade him several times before after discovering the clues, but he was very stubborn in this regard. Later you also knew that I was driven away. .”

After another period of silence, Percy used a magic spell to heat up his cup of coffee for the second time and then said: "There are a lot of small things in the passage in front of the secret room that you left, right? We later found them when we checked the secret room. , except that they were all destroyed.”

"I think that was Dumbledore's doing," Zhang Xu said, "otherwise the road would have been covered with the corpses of Death Eaters."

After that, neither of them had any intention of continuing the conversation.

Just when Zhang Xu was about to leave, Percy suddenly asked: "What is the purpose of the relic that Dumbledore left for you? The Ministry of Magic inspected it for a month and found that it was just a few ordinary cheating dice."

"What does '233' mean? The Ministry of Magic has spent a lot of time trying to figure out what it means."

"That's what it means literally." After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he drank all the coffee in the cup and left, leaving Percy to wait for the waiter to ask him to pay the bill.
