Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

It was still five minutes before three o'clock in the afternoon. In a villa located ten minutes' drive from the University of Liverpool, the hostess was in the kitchen making final preparations for the afternoon tea time that would start in a while.

Looking from the kitchen window, it was a rare sunny and breezy day. The hostess saw her son placing the last chair at the round table in the garden, and then hurried towards the house. .

In less than a minute, the hostess heard her son's voice at the kitchen door, "Mom, are the snacks ready?"

"Don't worry, Michael." The hostess smiled and said to her anxious son, "Everything is ready, just be careful not to fall."

"No, Mom." Michael said with a proud tone, "I won't fall even if I carry the ball at the same time."

After Michael finished speaking, he picked up the plate with snacks on the cupboard and walked out of the kitchen.

After watching her son leave, the hostess sighed. She didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for her son, who had aspired to be a football superstar since childhood, to go to a school called Hogwarts.

Four months ago, after returning from watching the Premier League match between Liverpool and Wimbledon, my son, who has always been fond of football and performed well in the school football league, was immediately fascinated by the man on the field and himself. The youngest player and youngest goalscorer in the history of Liverpool Club with the same name.

At a later Liverpool Club open day, his son got an autographed photo with his idol.

However, one day in July, a soaring owl disrupted the family's peaceful life.

After some panic, surprise, and owl correspondence, the family finally accepted the fact that there was magic in the world and that their son was a wizard.

However, the family who still had concerns had not made a final decision on their son's future until two days before the start of school. Later, they wrote a letter to the principal of Hogwarts, hoping that the school could send a teacher to their home. Be a guest, let everyone know everything about the magical world, and then let the owl "on duty" in their garden deliver the letter.

One morning before the start of school, an owl sent a letter. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a guest from Hogwarts would visit the Owen family on time.

Half a minute before three o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Owen and her son were preparing afternoon tea in the garden, and Mr. Owen, who was neatly dressed as if he was going to discuss a business worth hundreds of millions of pounds with an important client, was already at the door. Finally got ready.

When the second hand of Mr. Owen's watch jumped to "XII", the doorbell rang on time.

Mr. Owen took a deep breath to relax himself, then put on a friendly and confident expression that was necessary when he was about to negotiate with clients in the City on the east side of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, and finally opened the door.

After opening the door, Mr. Irving was shocked, but after years of responsibilities, he regained his previous expression in an instant.

When they knew that there was a guest coming today, the family was guessing whether the guest coming this afternoon was a wizard wearing sloppy robes, a ghost, a giant or a panda, as in "The Legend of Dumbledore" and "Hogg". The magical being that appeared in "Tea Time at Watts".

However, what Mr. Irving didn't expect was that the person outside the door now was a yellow man wearing a crisp suit. His appearance and temperament were like those of the young and successful rich generation in the Financial City. For a moment, he thought it was a client from work who came to visit him.

"Hello, Mr. Owen." Zhang Xu didn't mind the other party's reaction. What he cared about was Professor Flitwick who asked him to run errands on his behalf. "I am a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Zhang Xu."

Mr. Owen reacted quickly. As an account manager of a financial company, he had plenty of experience in dealing with Easterners.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, welcome."

After a simple greeting and handshake,

Mr. Owen took Zhang Xu to the back garden, and then greeted Mrs. Owen and Michael for a while, and then the four guests sat down.

"Michael, I brought you some small gifts." Zhang Xu took out a large box from his suit pocket and handed it to Michael.

Michael, who seemed a little reserved, took the box handed over by Zhang Xu. After reading the words on the box clearly, a surprise expression appeared on his face in an instant.

"Is this the chocolate frog?" Michael asked.

Mr. and Mrs. Owen also looked at Zhang Xu curiously.

"Yes, this is the chocolate frog." Zhang Xu nodded and replied.

Michael opened the box carefully, then took out a small pentagonal box, and opened it nervously.

The next moment, a chocolate frog jumped out of the box and landed on the edge of Michael's tea cup.

"It's really going to pop out!" Michael said excitedly.

"It's amazing!" Mr. Owen exclaimed.

"This is a field frog." Mrs. Owen said seriously.

Zhang Xu looked at Mrs. Irving in surprise. He had eaten chocolate frogs for so many years, but only now did he know the prototype of this frog.

After Mrs. Owen noticed Zhang Xu's surprised gaze, she smiled and said to him: "I am a professor of amphibians in animal science research at the University of Liverpool."

Seeing Zhang Xu nodding to herself, Mrs. Irving thought, "It turns out that wizards don't know everything." The original nervousness suddenly disappeared.

"Pictures...pictures..." Michael, who was a cartoonist, took out a wizard picture from the chocolate frog box.

"It belongs to Albus Dumbledore!" Michael excitedly held up the picture in his hand to show it to everyone.

After the little interlude brought by the chocolate frog, everyone started to get down to business.

"What position does Mr. Zhang hold at Hogwarts?" Mr. Owen asked first.

Zhang Xu straightened his expression, and then replied: "I am a seventh-year student in Ravenclaw House at Hogwarts, and I am also the acting professor of Muggle Studies."

During breakfast today, news came from St. Mungo's Hospital that the injury of Professor Caredi Bubbaji, who was unfortunately injured during the hostage rescue operation, failed to improve, so Professor McGonagall asked her to have a good rest, and then Zhang Xu started to live again. I changed my homework every night.

"So you will be teaching as well as taking classes?" Mrs. Owen asked next. She is also a professor, so her response in this regard is faster than others.

"Yes." Zhang Xu replied, "Because Professor Caredi Bubaji is ill, I will take over all her teaching tasks in the next year."

The Owens looked at each other, and then nodded to each other invisibly. It seemed that Hogwarts did not send just any cat or dog.

"It's quite hard, isn't it?" Mrs. Owen asked.

"Yes." Zhang Xu sighed, "Especially when correcting homework."

Mrs. Owen nodded in agreement.

"So is that the giant panda teaching students in the comics you?" Michael suddenly asked.

Zhang Xu had a smile on his face, and then nodded.
