Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

The conversation between Zhang Xu and Grindelwald continued until lunch time. After bidding farewell to the boss, he returned to the castle.

Before dealing with the Harry trio, Zhang Xu still had one very important thing to do.

In Hogwarts, there is one day every month when all the professors in the school gather in the cafeteria for lunch. When the lunch time is over, these professors rush out of the cafeteria as quickly as possible. Disappeared.

Experienced students will know from the situation that this day is the day when Hogwarts professors pay their salaries.

Professors' income is now divided into two parts, one is the basic salary and the other is various allowances. The basic salary is paid on the last Friday of each month, while the allowance is paid twice in a school year, once in the first half of Christmas Eve, that is, December 10, and once on the day before the end-of-semester dinner of the school year. .

Today is the day when salaries and allowances are paid out at Hogwarts, so Professor Flitwick, who is in a good mood, will agree to Zhang using a poor excuse to take a leave. Although Zhang asked for leave in the morning, he would not ask for leave when receiving his salary.

.??????(=^ェ^=)????(????_????)(??????)

In the faculty lounge, the professors gathered together, and even Hagrid, who rarely came here, sat on the chair specially prepared for him in the corner. There was a pile of money bags next to Professor McGonagall, and the professors took their own money bags from her in alphabetical order.

The professors were all waiting for their turn, but Zhang was the most relaxed because he was the last one to come on stage to receive the money.

Since there was a lot of money handed out today, all the professors present except Hagrid cast a levitating charm on the money bag when they took it.

In fact, Hogwarts can use Gringotts-related bills when distributing money, but no one has made this suggestion for hundreds of years, perhaps because wizards also feel a sense of accomplishment when counting money.

Zhang Xu rubbed his shoulder against Scarlet, who was sitting next to him counting money, and said, "I have to take a leave of absence from class in the afternoon."

Scarlet put the gold coins in piles of ten on the table and counted them, while saying without looking back: "If you have something to do, you can leave now. I will help you get your share."

(→_→): "Is it a good thing to finish it off and help me use it by the way?"

(ˊ??ˋ*)：????"This is normal."

(°Д°): “...You’re just a normal ghost.

(??): "Why, you are so anxious to hand in your salary as soon as you get it?"

(??): "If you want to hand it over, your share will be indispensable."

…

When Zhang Xu took his money bag from Professor McGonagall, he asked Professor McGonagall: "Professor, how have you considered the proposal in the letter the day before yesterday?"

Professor McGonagall looked at Zhang Xu and said, "I approve the first proposal, but I still need to consider the second one and give you an answer tomorrow."

Zhang Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he took out a leaflet and handed it to Professor McGonagall, saying, "Thank you very much. We are looking forward to your visit at the weekend. I have already said hello to them.

No matter what you buy, you'll get 20% off. "

Zhang Xu's last words to Professor McGonagall were said in a secret voice, because the discount offered to the principal was 20% off, the dean was 15% off, and other professors were 10% off. Everyone knows what this kind of thing is, but it would be a bit embarrassing to say it openly.

After finishing a round of leaflets to the professors who had just received their salaries while the iron was hot, Zhang Xu returned to his seat and sat down, then handed a leaflet to Scarlet.

Scarlet took the flyer and took a look at it, and immediately felt like she was shocked.

"What the hell are you doing?" Scarlet looked at Zhang Xu, "Are you going to hold a New Year's Fair in Hogsmeade?"

Zhang Xu said helplessly: "That's what those guys thought. At first, my plan was to contact the tenants of the empty shops. As a result, many people were unwilling to rent to us, so they decided to start a new business in Hoge. Let’s set up a temporary store next to Maude.”

"So you've been busy with this these past few nights?" Scarlet asked.

"Yes." Zhang Xu replied, "It will open in three days. The materials for the venue are rented directly from London, and the goods transported by cargo planes are unloaded at the Edinburgh location. These have to be transported by rail. To Hogsmeade. The Hogsmeade train has almost never stopped in the past two days. I was busy at the train station last night and didn't come back until almost two o'clock."

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Scarlet said after remembering something, "After the Christmas vacation, I have a teaching assistant here to assist me. After she gets familiar with the job, my class will be open to students next school year. The seat was given to her. Mag passed the matter."

"Who is he?" Zhang Xu asked curiously.

"You will know when the time comes, but there are some things that I need your help with," Scarlet said.

"By the way, there's one more thing." Scarlet continued, "When you go to Hogsmeade tonight, be mentally prepared."

"Ah?" Zhang Xu was confused, "What's going to happen tonight?"

He knew that Scarlet had his own information channels and could sometimes get some information that was difficult for him to obtain.

"It doesn't matter whether this matter is big or small, it all depends on how you handle it." After Scarlet finished speaking, he put all the gold coins counted on the table into his handbag and refused to speak no matter how Zhang Xu asked.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to prepare for the afternoon class. The professors who had classes waiting for them all left the faculty lounge and headed to the classroom with smiles on their faces.

And the senior students in the castle are imparting experience to the younger students.

Since they just received the money at noon today, the professors were in a good mood in the afternoon. So if a student performs well later, the professors will add a little more college points than usual.

If a student makes a minor mistake in class, the professors will not deduct points but let it go with a few words.

The students in the lower grades accepted the teachings humbly, and no one would miss such a good opportunity.

When the students all entered the classroom to prepare for class, Zhang Xu passed through a long unmanned corridor and came to a simple gate.

The wooden door is carved with some simple patterns, and the wooden door panels are surrounded by thick iron bars. The gaps in these patterns and the iron bars are already covered with dust. At a glance, you can tell that this wooden door has many It hasn't been opened in years.

Zhang Xu pushed the door open with force. Because it had not been opened for many years, the door shaft made a piercing scream.

Behind the door is a staircase leading underground.
