Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 563: Caring for empty nesters

Ever since Grindelwald came to Hogwarts to guard the tomb in seclusion, Professor McGonagall's head has been hurting from time to time. She was worried that Grindelwald would run into the castle with a wand and say "biu~biu~biu~" to the students. She was worried that one of the students would accidentally commit suicide and anger him and then disappear from the world. She was worried that he would not have any thoughts that day. After mastering the amplification trick, he could play self-destruction or something like that and drag Hogwarts and even Hogsmeade together to finish...

And she couldn't just drive people away, nor could she kill someone with a borrowed knife. Because the European side wanted Grindelwald to stay in the UK and never return to the European continent, and the British Ministry of Magic didn't want to create another powerful enemy before Voldemort was dealt with.

So after thinking hard, she gave Zhang Xu a task. She asked Zhang Xu to visit the lonely old man every one or two weeks to determine whether he would pose a threat to Hogwarts.

When Professor McGonagall assigned Zhang Xu a task, he gave a very good reason. First of all, Zhang Xu has an old relationship with the other party and can strike up a conversation with him. Secondly, Professor McGonagall believed that Zhang Xu's ideas were similar to those of the other party, and they would not start a fight if they disagreed. Third, even if the two of them fight, Zhang Zhouxuan can still deal with the opponent for a while.

Zhang Xu was also worried that this boss, who was isolated from the world for half the world, would one day make big moves out of curiosity, so he took on this task.

Although there are countless records about Grindelwald in Europe, he was a demon who brought huge disasters to the European wizarding world. But after several contacts, Zhang discovered that this old man, who seemed to have become a bit chatty because few people had spoken to him in half a century, was really a genius. As for the disasters he caused alone, and how to deal with the fact that he is a European, it is hard for Zhang, an outsider, to make irresponsible remarks.

Ever since he started talking to Mr. Zhang, every Sunday has become a day for Zhang Xulei to come and listen to the big boss brag.

When the boss gets excited, he often demonstrates the magic spell he used in the story on the spot, and then asks Zhang Xu if he wants to learn it.

Zhang Xu also learned a lot of magic spells. Every time he went back, he would sort out what he had learned in the day and rely on these magic spells to write his thesis. Now he has a plan, which is to start writing an "Introduction to European Dark Arts".

What interests Zhang Xu the most is the history told by Grindelwald.

Although those historical stories have been put on parchment by countless people for half a world, and Grindelwald said that he has supported many so-called writers who make a living by studying him, but no one has ever made a living from him. To look at and write about that period of history from a different perspective.

At this time, Grindelwald was drinking snake soup while bragging to Zhang Xu about his escape from the United States Ministry of Magic.

"When 'I' was taken out of that cell, my name resounded from every corner of the prison." Grindelwald then said disdainfully, "Those books said that all the prisoners in the prison were huddled in the corner. Shivering."

Zhang Xu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, thought of the scene in "Air Force One" that had just been released a few months ago. When Reddy was taken out of the cell, the entire prison inmates sang "The Internationale" in unison.

At this time, the sound of someone falling on the snow while walking was heard not far away. Grindelwald turned his head and glanced at it and ignored it. At the same time, Zhang Xu also looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Furong walking over with a basket.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Xu used his transformation technique to create a chair next to him, and then pulled Furong to sit down.

Then Zhang Xu introduced: "This is my fiancée Fleur Delacour."

Fleur stood nervously beside Zhang Xu, then bowed slightly to Grindelwald, "Hello, Your Excellency. I brought you lunch."

Grindelwald glanced at Fleur, who was holding Zhang Xu's arm tightly, and said noncommittally: "You are worried about him staying with me, the notorious Dark Lord."

After being told her idea, Fleur didn't know whether to nod or not.

After Zhang Xu disposed of the empty pots and bowls on the table in front of them, she placed a large plate of hot chicken sandwiches, beef patties and a large pot of pumpkin juice on the table in front of them.

At this time Grindelwald said thoughtfully: "I once heard that there was a Veela in France who married a wizard."

"That's my grandma." Fleur, who had just sat down, quickly stood up and said.

Grindelwald waved his hand, then pointed at Zhang Xu in the wheelchair and said, "Sit down, you see he never stands up when talking to me."

Zhang Xu pulled Furong to sit down, then took one of her hands and patted the back of her hand gently.

"France, I have been there many times." Grindelwald continued, "I have heard of the surname Delacour."

At this time, Zhang Xu found that Furong suddenly grasped his hand with force, and he could not help but tremble with this force. At the same time, he could feel Furong's heartbeat speeding up.

Zhang Xu disagreed with Furong coming to see him early this morning because he was worried that Grindelwald's hands were stained with the blood of Fleur's relatives. He didn't have to care about the past, but he had to consider Fleur's feelings.

But he still didn't expect that Fleur still followed because she was worried about him.

As if he didn't notice the expression on Fleur's face, Grindelwald began to tell the story of how he gathered his followers to give a speech in Père Lachaise Cemetery decades ago.

Zhang Xu has been to Père Lachaise Cemetery. In addition to the burials of celebrities such as musician Chopin and the author of the lyrics of "The Internationale", Eugène Baudier, the most famous place is that it witnessed 147 Paris Commune soldiers chanting The slogans of "Long Live the Commune" were raised on the walls of commune members who died heroically.

At the end of the story, Zhang Xu heard a name that surprised him.

"Who is Aurelius Dumbledore?" Zhang Xu asked in surprise, "Is he a relative of Dumbledore?"

Grindelwald obviously didn't want to answer this question, and just waved his hand to indicate to Zhang Xu that they could leave.

More than ten minutes later, Zhang Xu and Furong returned to the dormitory of the castle.

After slamming herself onto the soft sofa, Fleur finally breathed a sigh of relief. When she looked at Zhang Xu next to her and wanted to say something to him, she found that he was concentrating on thinking.

"What are you thinking about?" Fleur asked.

"I was thinking about the identity of Aurelius Dumbledore." Zhang Xu replied, "I have never heard Dumbledore and Aberforth mention this person. I thought Dumbledore They are the only two people left in the Lido family.”

At this time, Zhang, whose neck had turned into a hula hoop, suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could that person be Dumbledore's mistake in his youth?

Considering the age of the person Grindelwald mentioned, Lao Deng's parents had already died and were in jail when he was born, but it happened to be not long after Lao Deng's sister died.

Could it be that Lao Deng used alcohol to drown his sorrows when his sister died, A Deng broke up with Lao Deng and broke the bridge of his nose, and Grindelwald escaped. As a result, he was plotted by someone who had a crush on him when he was drunk and then had an accident?

Afterwards, Lao Deng naturally would not accept the other party, and the woman was not accepted by her family after giving birth to a child out of wedlock and had no choice but to leave for the United States.

Considering the geographical location of Dumbledore's house, maybe the child's mother's surname is Potter.

Zhang Xu was shocked by his guess.

However, after so many years, there were only a few people involved dead, and it was difficult for him to explore the truth behind it.

Furong saw Zhang Xu lost in thought again and said to him: "I was so nervous that the clothes on my back were soaked with sweat. I'm going to take a shower first."

After hearing what Furong said, Zhang Xu remembered that when he was learning the spell just now, he was sweating profusely and his clothes were already soaked.

But this matter can be solved with a magic spell.

So Zhang Xu took out his magic wand and used the Flying Charm to summon a crutch, and then followed him into the bathroom of the dormitory with the crutch.
