Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Hogwarts Castle, which was built during the witch-hunting period, had many secret passages for escaping from the castle at the beginning of its construction. After thousands of years of abandonment and construction, many secret passages are still in use, and some of them are still in use. The Tao spread among students on a small scale.

However, the "secret" of the secret passages is only for students. The successive principals of Hogwarts have mastered the entrance and exit locations of all secret passages in the castle. After all, everyone has it hanging on the wall, so there is no chance that any secret passage will be lost. Nowadays, the only people alive who fully grasp the secrets of all the secret passages in Hogwarts are Professor McGonagall and Zhang Xu, who once worked with Lao Deng to build defense measures for the secret passages. Among the dead is Peeves, who patrols the secret passage every day.

The secret passage connecting the Pig's Head Bar and Hogwarts is currently the most important of all the secret passages. It contains many defensive magics that Dumbledore personally laid before.

When Hermione saw this secret passage for the first time, she suddenly felt a sense of impending danger, which made her shudder.

There was no light or sound in the secret passage. It was dark like a passage leading to another world.

After confirming that all the people around had been sent away, Hermione returned to the conference room. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhang Xu sitting on a chair, slowly taking out the orange segments from an orange with half of the peel peeled off, placing them on the plate on the table, and then pushed them away. Arriving in front of Mr. Weasley. Then he took out a very thick needle and a ball of twine, and threaded the small orange bowl around it like a small basket, using a small bamboo stick to carry it. Then he took a short piece of wax from the foot of the candlestick and placed it inside.

(｀_′)ゞ?(?_?)

"Take this." Zhang Xu handed the finished orange lantern into Hermione's hand.

After saying goodbye to everyone in the office, Zhang Xu pushed the trolley containing Harry and Ginny and left the conference room.

It's just that because the entire cart was covered by an invisibility cloak, Zhang Xu's walking looked a little strange to others.

When they walked to the entrance of the secret passage, Zhang Xu stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers, causing the candle end in the small orange lamp in Hermione's hand to burn.

?(?_?)??(??_??)

At first, Hermione walked in front holding a small orange lantern, and Zhang Xu followed her pushing a trolley containing a bundle of Harry and Ginny.

Hermione held this clever little orange lamp and walked slowly in the dark and silent secret passage. The only thing accompanying her was her own footsteps. This hazy orange-red light really couldn't shine very far. This slight "tapping" footsteps didn't even stir up an echo.

The impenetrable firelight made the darkness seem darker, and the faint sound of footsteps made the silence even more silent.

Mechanically walking forward in the dark tunnel with no end in sight made Hermione even more nervous. She had the idea that she would never come to the end in her life, and the feeling of imminent fatal danger kept coming to her. She struck.

I don't know since when, Hermione, who was walking in front, began to slow down. Finally, she simply walked to Zhang Xu, holding a small orange lamp in one hand and grabbing Zhang Jingru's arm pushing the car, hoping to Get a little courage from his calm, brave and optimistic spirit.

Now Hermione was a little envious of Harry and Ginny on the trolley. Just now, the two of them were not honest after being tied up, so they received a stun spell from Mr. Weasley.

However, the lighting effect of the small orange lamp in Hermione's hand was limited. The firelight, which was a little dimmer than before, could only illuminate the cart with the invisibility cloak removed and a little bit in front of the car.

Zhang Xu glanced at Hermione who was shivering, didn't say anything, and just continued to push the trolley forward.

?ㄟ(._.ㄟ∠)_?

Suddenly, Hermione tripped on something and accidentally fell to the ground. The small orange lamp in her hand flew out, rolled around on the ground twice before going out, and the secret passage suddenly fell into darkness. middle.

At this time, Hermione didn't say "I fell.

"I need to be kissed, hugged and lifted up to get up", the tight string in her mind broke with this fall, and she subconsciously let out a scream. But Hermione didn't notice at this time, Her screams were not echoed back in the tunnel.

Zhang Xu, who was standing next to her, covered his ears and almost blurted out, "Just scream until your throat breaks... no one will come to save you...".

Just when Hermione reached out to take out her wand and was about to cast a spell, a palm covered her hand that had just touched the wand.

"You can't use spells here."

Zhang Xu's voice came from the darkness.

Hermione grabbed Zhang Xu's hand like a drowning person grabbing a lifebuoy.

Next, when Hermione was about to say something to Zhang Xu, she suddenly felt dizzy, and then she didn't know anything at all.

If Hermione hadn't been disturbed by fear just now, she would definitely have found contradictions in Zhang Xu's words and actions. If he didn't use magic, how did Zhang Xu find himself in the dark secret passage and was about to take out his wand and stopped himself from using magic.

Zhang Xu sighed again, then bent down to pick Hermione up, then put her on the trolley.

Even though he turned off the lights... he still had basic moral integrity.

Ever since Hermione knocked down Harry, who had greasy black hair, in the school doctor's office a while ago, she had become the master of the Elder Wand without her knowing it.

And Zhang Xu took great pains to let Harry regain his identity as the master of the Elder Wand.

Tonight, he took advantage of the opportunity to be alone with Hermione in the secret passage to take back the identity of the master of the Elder Wand, and then hand it over to Harry after a while.

After going around in such a big circle, Zhang really wanted to beat up the producer of the Elder Wand.

The spell usage mode in this secret passage was set to whitelist mode, and Dumbledore set it so that only Hogwarts professors could use spells here, otherwise they would be attacked. This is to prevent outsiders from invading and to allow the professors to stay behind while arranging the students' retreat.

At the same time, a large number of "fear halos" are also placed in the secret passage, as well as a faint fog that can hinder the transmission of light and sound. When foreign enemies invade, they will use magic spells under the dual effects of blocked sight and sound and fear in their hearts. .

In this way, Hermione fell into the trap without knowing it. Zhang Xu took the opportunity to give her a stun spell. Anyway, when the time comes, he can tell her that you were knocked unconscious by the spell set by Dumbledore, thus Throw this pot away.
