Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Zhang Xu's big transformation of the panda brought today's tea party to a climax.

It could be seen that Owen's family still had many questions to ask, so he immediately changed his mind under the excited, surprised and slightly disappointed eyes of the family.

After Zhang Xu sat down on the chair again, Mr. Owen asked: "Mr. Zhang, what do you wizards think of us ordinary people who you call 'Muggles'?"

Zhang Xu took a sip of tea and then said: "On this question, I have no intention of concealing some of the dark parts of the answer."

"Generally speaking, wizards are basically very friendly towards ordinary people. Many wizards choose ordinary people as the other half of their lives. Professor McGonagall, the new principal of our school, her first love is a The son of an ordinary farmer. But for some reasons, they didn’t get together in the end.”

"However, a small group of wizards will look down on or even discriminate against ordinary people who have no power in their eyes because they have mastered extraordinary powers. In school, most of these people are just disrespectful in terms of language. "

"However, generally speaking, the situation is developing for the better. Among the younger generation of wizards, an increasing proportion of them can treat ordinary people as equals."

"And among today's students, the achievements of wizards whose parents are ordinary people are no worse than those of wizards from wizard families who have been stuck in their ways for hundreds of years."

Zhang Xu said it seriously, and Owen's family also listened seriously. He did not hide from the Owen family the discrimination of those pure-blood families against Muggle-born wizards, and described Hogwarts as an existence like a white lotus. Because these things cannot be hidden, and there is no need to hide them.

He already had a general understanding of the Owen family before coming. Mr. Irving works in finance, and it can be said that he deals with nonsense all day long. Mrs. Owen teaches at the University of Liverpool and is well aware of the stories and incidents beneath the surface of the school. Although their understanding of the magical world is very unfamiliar, people have commonalities, and they can easily tell whether they are telling the truth or lies.

"Well, it seems that discrimination is everywhere." Mr. Owen said with emotion, "Big companies discriminate against small companies, and graduates from prestigious universities are discriminated against..."

At the sound of his wife's slight cough, Mr. Owen stepped on the brakes suddenly.

"If Michael goes to Hogwarts, he won't be harmed by those people." Mrs. Owen said with concern.

"Just beat him back like a man." Zhang Xu replied.

This answer obviously suits Mr. Owen's taste. When he was young, he coincided with the victory of the Falklands War. Mrs. Thatcher's tough tit-for-tat style obviously had a great influence on him.

"What about jobs after graduation?" Mrs. Owen asked. "We know from books that there are not many jobs for wizards after graduation."

To be honest, it's really hard for Zhang Xu to answer this question, because with the current social status of the Owens, they might not be able to look down on those jobs in the wizarding world.

At this time, Zhang Xu could only tell the truth.

"To be honest, I have always had reservations about working in the British wizarding world." Zhang Xu curled his lips.

The Owens and his wife were surprised at first when they saw Zhang Xu's appearance, and then frowned slightly. Parents are very concerned about their children's future.

Zhang Xu continued: "Graduates with excellent academic performance generally join the Ministry of Magic, which is the department where wizards manage wizards themselves."

"And other students...well...let me put it this way, the current British magical society is still in the handicraft-led economic structure before the first industrial revolution. Although this society is changing now, the speed of change is It's too slow."

"From my personal point of view, I don't want Michael to live in a world that lacks vitality."

Mr. and Mrs. Owen frowned.

Mrs. Owen said somewhat cautiously: "Then it will be difficult for us to agree to Michael going to Hogwarts to study.

We must take responsibility for his future. "

Zhang Xu understood Mrs. Irving's caution because she was afraid of accidentally offending Mr. Zhang and then being subjected to all kinds of strange magic by Mr. Zhang.

Michael, who was sitting next to Zhang Xu, couldn't sit still, but he knew that at this time, his parents' opinions must be taken seriously.

"I can understand your worries." Zhang Xu replied with a smile, "If I also had children, I would also have this idea."

"Mr. Zhang, just now you emphasized that what you are talking about is the magical world, so can I understand that it will be different in the world of ordinary people like us?" I am used to looking for and finding usefulness in the other party's language during negotiations. Mr. Irving, who was aware of the details, immediately discovered something worthy of attention in Zhang Xu’s words.

"Yes, some people in No. 10 Downing Street are wizards working for the British government." Zhang Xu nodded slightly and replied, "A certain member of the House of Lords I know is a member of the British royal family. Wizards who have served their families for hundreds of years, their family’s ancestors can find their names in history books. In addition, I also know some wizards from the military and intelligence services.”

The views of the Owens and his wife were refreshed, and Zhang Xu also took this opportunity to briefly introduce the history of this aspect to them. It took a while for them to accept this fact.

At this time, Zhang Xu asked Mrs. Owen: "Mrs. Owen, I wonder if you have heard of the 'Prometheus Project' that the British government has recently secretly promoted in the 'Red Brick University'."

Mrs. Owen suddenly looked at Zhang Xu alertly. She had only heard about this plan a little bit, and this plan had a certain level of confidentiality. She only knew about this plan because her mentor once accidentally mentioned it. The content of this plan is that the "Red Brick University" will be prepared to accept a group of extremely special students.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Irving suddenly had an idea in her mind. Could the "extremely special student" be referring to someone like her son? She glanced at her son silently, and then cast a questioning look at Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu met her gaze and nodded silently.

After receiving the affirmative answer, Mrs. Owen breathed a sigh of relief. For her, who had received higher education, she could not tolerate the idea that her son would go out into society after receiving only an education that was slightly better than a five-year middle school. Now that she knows her son still has the opportunity to pursue higher education, she is finally relieved.

Owen and his son looked at the two people who were confused about what kind of riddle they were trying to solve. They didn't know what Mr. Zhang meant by this plan.

Then Mrs. Owen briefly explained the contents of the plan to the father and son. She couldn't explain it in detail because she knew very little.

Zhang smiled and said nothing while drinking tea next to him, because he was also concerned about this plan. In the past few years, many outstanding graduates from Hogwarts and Beauxbatons have gone east to study, which has attracted the attention of governments in Western Europe. After some careful consideration, governments of various countries have secretly launched their own wizard re-education plans.

As far as Zhang Xu knows, when the British plan was first formulated, the relevant government departments quietly visited the vast majority of Muggle-born senior students at Hogwarts during last Christmas holiday and this summer vacation to solicit their opinions and cooperation. suggestion.

A few days ago, when Zhang was running around avoiding Harley's pursuit, Hermione secretly asked him for his opinion on the matter. At the same time, she also wondered why the government knew about her time at Hogwarts.

Regarding the first question, Mr. Zhang supported it at the time. He always felt that relying solely on the knowledge learned at Hogwarts could not fully utilize Hermione’s intelligence. If she could go to university for a systematic education, then Better.

As for the second question, the list of students is definitely not in Zhang’s handwriting. He still enjoys poaching corners of British magical society.

As for competing with domestic universities for talents, there is no point in worrying. The domestic instructions are to sell favors to the British government, and the quality of magic teaching in domestic universities is definitely better than that of British universities that have just started. In addition, the first batch of international students are preparing to graduate and return to the UK. Under their propaganda, there must be a huge competitive advantage.

After a while, the Owens and his son were relieved after learning about the British government's movements from Mrs. Owens.
