Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 653: There is a spy among us

When the sunlight shined on Zhang Xu's face through the window, he woke up from the bed in the dormitory.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, he felt a little tight in his chest, as if something was pressing on him.

What happened last night? Zhang Xu thought about it carefully.

It turned out that everyone happily planned to have a drink before going to bed, chat together, and then go back to sleep.

Later, the conversation seemed to turn to strange places, and then there seemed to be more and more empty wine bottles on the table.

"It seems that it is not reliable to drink alcohol and then sleep with your head covered to relieve post-war psychological syndrome." Zhang Xu said in his heart.

The tragic scene in Hogsmeade gave everyone an indelible memory, especially the tragic situation of the victims. Even Luna, who was lacking in anything other than magical animals, couldn't stand it after she came back, and Zhang Xu had to cast a forgetting spell on her.

Zhang Xu and the others relied on another method to divert their combat power.

It was time to get up. Zhang Xu stretched and then touched the thing on his body. Well, one leg, two legs...many legs...

Today's Hogwarts is still treating and caring for the seriously injured. The transfer of the wounded is very troublesome. The transfer cannot be carried out until the condition of the wounded has stabilized. The current situation is estimated to take another day or two.

Zhang Xu left the castle after simply solving the breakfast problem and feeding the ginger and fish cakes that he slept on all night. There was a meeting to be held at the Pig Head Bar this morning.

The area near the Hog's Head Pub was one of the hardest hit areas in the Hogsmeade air raid.

This is the target of the Death Eaters' key attacks. Not only did they drop a large number of stone men, but they also aimed before dropping them, trying to hit the buildings directly.

Except for the Pig's Head Bar and the two nearby buildings that were used as hospitals, which were saved through the hard work of the Aurors, the surrounding buildings had been reduced to ruins.

For a moment, the Pig Head Bar actually felt like it stood out from the crowd. But this kind of standing out from the crowd does not make Scrimgeour happy.

There was still a little time left before the meeting, and Scrimgeour and other leaders hadn't arrived yet, but many wizards from various countries were already sitting in the conference room transformed from the first floor hall, chatting.

Zhang Xu quickly discovered the two Frenchmen the elder sisters were talking about last night.

A fat man with red hair and obvious Celtic characteristics sat diagonally opposite Zhang Xu. His fat body was almost as fat as that of a panda Zhang. This should be Obelix.

If someone asked Zhang Xu who the little man wearing a hat with wings on both sides was, Zhang Xu's first reaction would be Arale. But now the little wizard sitting next to Obelix also wears a hat with a pair of wings sticking out from both sides. His hair is golden, but he is not taller than Professor Flitwick. many. This must be Asterix.

Now Zhang Xu already knows why the two of them were able to make the four eldest sisters so angry yesterday. Asterix said in a "whisper" there: "The British Ministry of Magic is really not good. They were rushed from London to such a high level." Far away.”

Obelix followed in a serious manner: "Yes, when I was outside just now, I thought I was in Coventry fifty years ago."

The contents of the two Frenchmen's deliberately "quiet" conversation in English soon spread throughout the entire conference room, and old Rodney, who was sitting opposite them, turned black with anger.

"Oh, the British Ministry of Magic is really not good. They were driven from London to here 700 kilometers away." Zhang Xu's response to the French was a bit unexpected, but everyone thought that his fiancée was French. I feel relieved.

Asterix and Obelix looked at the supportive Zhang Xu with obvious smiles on their faces. It seemed that the French son-in-law was on the same side as them when they were fighting against the British.

“When de Gaulle ran from Paris to London, he only ran more than 300 kilometers, which was less than half of the length of the British Ministry of Magic.

"

"It's also fortunate that Weygand and Pétain turned Paris into an undefended city before the German army entered the city. Otherwise, the Arc de Triomphe might have been blown up during the battle against the invaders, and the German army would have had a headache if they wanted to parade there. "

"Fortunately, that carriage is well preserved and can still be used when signing for the second time."

"But it is precisely because of this that French weapons were so easy to sell after the war. After all, the only time they were used after being opened was when they were thrown on the ground."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xu kicked the accelerator and changed the topic to "The Tower is still there." The smiles on the faces of Asterix and Obelix immediately solidified, and then gradually disappeared.

It would be fine if the two of them were wizards from the French Ministry of Magic, but the problem was that they served the Elysee Palace, so they couldn't pretend they didn't know what Zhang Xu was talking about.

Zhang obviously had no intention of stopping. Then he looked at old Rodney and asked, "Mr. Rodney, do you know how to address one hundred thousand French people who raised their hands at the same time?"

As a congressman and a veteran, Old Rodney naturally could not be so aggressive with a young man like Zhang Xu. He educated Zhang Xu while drinking the freshly served coffee, "Stop making fun of the French Army."

At this time, old Rodney looked at Zhang Xu with eyes full of relief. This young man is quite good.

Just when Zhang Xu suggested that his little Italian friend sitting opposite him go to France to run for president and lead France to unify Europe, but she was shot while lying down and choked on her coffee. She took out her 381mm wand and was about to hit him. Scrimgeour Several of them sat at the conference table.

After the meeting, a group of people stopped fighting and immediately became serious.

"There is a spy among us." Scrimgeour was like an angry lion at this time. He looked around the people in the conference room and continued, "Now it has been found that someone stole our Ministry of Magic settings. The location of Auror headquarters across the UK, as well as the secret arrival time of the reinforcements the night before yesterday, and this person gave this information to the mysterious person."

"We are filled with heartfelt gratitude to wizards from around the world for helping us fight You-Know-Who and Death Eaters."

"However, this does not mean that we will be open to spy networks from abroad."

Although everyone came to help in the suppression and were not Scrimgeour's subordinates, everyone chose to respond calmly when faced with the furious Scrimgeour. The spy deceived the British this time. Who knows whether he will be deceived next time. After all, everyone is in the same trench as the British now.

The losses suffered by the Ministry of Magic the night before yesterday were too heavy. Except for Hogsmeade, the number of casualties in the Auror headquarters that were attacked across the UK was actually close to 25%. Had Scrimgeour not decisively asked Cedric to put the volunteers he had recently recruited into the battle, it is estimated that the final number of casualties would have been more than this.

After Scrimgeour finished speaking, a voice said, "So, who is this spy?"

The speaker was Aza Javid from Poland, "Are any of us colluding with the mysterious person?"

Azar Javed obviously did enough homework before speaking. He kept looking at Zhang Xu when he said the last sentence.

Zhang Xu just smiled, then picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

For a moment, everyone in the conference room focused their attention on Zhang Xu.

It's just that different people look at Zhang Xu with different expressions.

Those present, such as Yuri, Mrs. Adams, Old Rodney, and his leader Sukhbalu next to Zhang Xu, who were already familiar with Zhang Xu, looked at Zhang Xu in a joking manner. They had already entered. Drinking coffee and watching movies.

Others who knew Zhang Xu but were not too familiar with him, such as Professor Flitwick's short Italian relative. At first, she was surprised by Azar Javid's unspoken accusations, but after she discovered the behavior of those who were familiar with Zhang Xu, she immediately realized that there was something hidden behind it, so she entered the curiosity-watching mode.

Although the two representatives of the French government had a fight with Zhang Xu before the meeting, they and the representatives of the French Ministry of Magic just glanced at Zhang Xu and studied the coffee provided by the Pig Head Bar together.

As for representatives from Japan, Germany and other countries, they also realized that the atmosphere was not right and chose to stay out of it.

Azar Javid also noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere in the conference room at this time. He initially thought that after he accused Zhang Xu without naming him, the angry Scrimgeour would attack him first, and then the two people who had just had a conflict with him. The French wizard would make a last-ditch attack, and then throw out a series of evidence that was very unfavorable to Zhang Xu as a final blow.

But now Scrimgeour's face was still dark, but he sat there without saying a word. He stopped talking, and it was hard for others to talk.

At this time, Azar Javed had to go into battle in person. He glared at Zhang Xu and said, "I have conclusive evidence to prove that Mr. Zhang, you have had a deep relationship with Lucius Malfoy, a senior member of the Death Eaters, for many years. Contact, and you have had multiple contacts with the mysterious person.”

"Oh." Zhang Xu nodded casually, "Continue."

Azar Javed was choked by Zhang Xu's attitude. After a while, he continued: "I have evidence here to prove that you had sex with the mysterious man on the rooftop of Gringotts in London on Christmas Eve last year. commune."

"..."

Then Aza Javid listed several pieces of information about Zhang Xu's contact with Voldemort and Lao Ma.

"Do you have anything to say about this, Mr. Zhang?" Azar Javed finally said.

"You also missed a very important piece of information." Zhang Xu said while playing with the empty coffee cup, "The black windbreaker the mysterious man wore recently was given to him by me, and the torn sack he wore before It’s just too ugly.”

As soon as Zhang Xu finished speaking, those who were unfamiliar with Zhang Xu suddenly went crazy and started talking in low voices.

At this time, Scrimgeour took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and then said impatiently: "Take the time to get to the point. Everyone is very busy today."

"As you wish, Mr. Minister." Zhang Xu shrugged, "Mr. Javid, I really don't know how Karkaroff taught such a stupid Death Eater like you. If he were still alive, he would definitely stuff you into the toilet. drowned in it. Before you put the blame on me, don't you first find out whether I have any information leaked this time?"

"How did you know? He said you were involved..." Halfway through the words, Azar Javed immediately discovered something was wrong with him, and then immediately covered his mouth.

Zhang Xu pointed at the half-drunk coffee in front of him and said: "The latest veritaserum is colored and smelly, but it still has a unique flavor when placed in coffee. It is suitable for home travel, murder and arson..."

"Ahem..." Scrimgeour interrupted Zhang Xu's attempt to advertise.

However, the expressions of everyone present here began to look strange. No one was happy that they were administering something like Veritaserum without being aware of it.

Scrimgeour saw everyone's thoughts, so he pointed at Azar Javid, who was pinned down on the table by the two Aurors who had just entered, and said, "Don't worry, only his coffee has Veritaserum in it."

Hearing Scrimgeour say this, the others felt relieved.

Everyone present was not an idiot. At this time, they already knew that Scrimgeour and some others knew the true identity and actions of Azar Javed, so they called everyone to come over and bear witness.

Diplomacy is no small matter. If a friendly person who comes to assist the suppression is privately arrested in the name of a spy, it is likely to cause a big disturbance, so it is better to put this issue out for everyone to witness.

"It's because we didn't do our job well." Scrimgeour explained to everyone present. "You all visited our Auror command headquarters half a month ago, and this Azar Javid also went with us."

"It's just that our staff accidentally put a contact book of Auror commands across the UK into a safe and did not return it to the safe in time after use. As a result, Azar Javed who was visiting discovered it."

"Aza Javid then recorded the contents of the contact book in a short period of time and informed the mysterious person."

“Fortunately, every page of this booklet has a little bit of magic that records the people who have looked at it, so Azza Javid was exposed.”

"As for Mr. Zhang, we at the Ministry of Magic are aware of his actions, and some of them are authorized by us."

"Furthermore, although the Auror command system of the Ministry of Magic was established with the help of Mr. Zhang and others, he only conducted installation training in a few places at the beginning. He does not know other details."

After Scrimgeour finished explaining, the uninformed people finally figured out what happened today. However, some people who didn't know such things as why they knew Azar Javid was a Death Eater and what his relationship was with Karkaroff, who had already been killed, still didn't know, but they were too sensible to ask. Because from the last half of Azar Javed's sentence, we can still judge that the Ministry of Magic planted spies among the Death Eaters and other information.

At this time, Zhang Xu was also glad that he had some imagination at that time. When he first designed this national joint defense system, he insisted on affixing a bunch of fingernail-sized video crystals to all confidential documents to record recent events. The face of the person who has read the document, otherwise he might fall into trouble this time.

For everyone, the matter of spies is over, and the next thing to discuss is the issue of combat.

Thinking that the mysterious man might launch an attack on the ruined Hogsmeade at any time, Scrimgeour prepared all the reinforcements to fight.
