Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

When Brian Braddock first came out of the fireplace in the Three Broomsticks pub, he thought he was in the wrong place. There was a huge difference between this place and when he came here not long ago.

The dim light and alcohol-scented air were gone, replaced by bright sunshine and cool fresh air.

But he was soon relieved, because he saw that the wall of the bar that originally faced the street was gone, and there was now a pile of debris where the walls, doors, and windows were.

A man with thick bandages on his head and face was picking up a broom that had been broken into two sections from the ruins, and then using magic to repair it.

When Braddock walked over, he found that this person was Ms. Rosmerta, the proprietress of the bar. When Braddock greeted her, she did not react at all. She just looked blankly among the ruins for another bar sign. A broom.

When Braddock walked to the street, he and many of his companions who came to support were shocked. The originally quiet and peaceful village turned into ruins, and the smell of burning wood lingered for a long time.

He no longer remembered how he and the Aurors from Essex went to the Hog's Head pub to report, and how he was assigned work. When he came to his senses, he was already standing with several colleagues. In front of a ruins.

In addition to them, there is a witch wearing a black robe and a pointed hat with a black veil who is looking for useful things from the ruins.

Braddock went up to the witch and said, "Madam, we are Aurors sent by the Ministry of Magic to help you."

Helen, dressed in mourning, whispered "Thank you."

It's easy to repair a few small items with magic, but the difficulty of repairing a completely damaged house increases exponentially. As for the houses that had been burned by fire, there was nothing that could be done about bundling Dumbledore and Voldemort together. So what everyone has to do now is to clean up the ruins and build new houses.

It is very fast to clean up the ruins with magic. Braddock, several Aurors and Helen used various magic spells to pile all kinds of useless construction waste to the roadside. The items that can still be used in the ruins were also cleaned by Helen. The next one is concentrated together.

Then trucks come and transport the construction waste to the garbage pit outside for dumping.

When many Muggle-born wizards saw trucks carrying loads of garbage driving through the streets of Hogsmeade, they were almost shocked by the strange style of painting.

In addition to wizards who supported the reconstruction of Hogsmeade, Lafayette also put in a lot of effort.

It can be said that Lafayette, who drove an ambulance in World War II, knew better than the wizards at the Ministry of Magic that reconstruction work should be carried out.

Just at noon that day after the "Second Sixth Bombing" occurred, a group of engineering troops and related vehicles were transported by train to the train station in Hogsmeade.

Bell, who is currently playing a guest role as the driver of a van, is loading rubbish from the street onto the van with his wizard assistant Mr. Arthur Weasley.

If Mr. Weasley hadn't been wondering if he could sell him a truck to take home and modify, Bell thought the chubby wizard was pretty good.

After Bell drove away, Helen stood blankly in front of the empty space that was her home, not knowing what to do next.

"Helen?" A voice sounded beside her.

After Helen turned her head to look at the visitor, she said in surprise: "Qiu? Why are you here?"

Zhang Qiu and Helen had stayed at Hogwarts together, and they were considered acquaintances.

"Now Gringotts has established a special fund to provide free house construction and repair services to residents whose houses have been damaged in Hogsmeade." Qiu explained to Helen, "The money for this fund comes from the Queen of England and Donations from some wizards. I am now communicating on behalf of the residents of Gringotts and Hogsmeade."

After saying this, Qiu, who noticed that Helen was wearing mourning clothes, paused, and then said cautiously: "Look,

If you have time you can choose a new house that you like. "

Helen took the color picture book handed over by Qiu and stood there for a long time without speaking.

Qiu had encountered this situation many times in Hogsmeade today. She said "please have my condolences" softly to Helen and then left.

At this time, in the Pig's Head Bar, Scrimgeour was receiving a guest from the Muggle world.

Old Rodney brought a somewhat fat middle-aged man, who was negotiating with Scrimgeour.

"In addition to donating this material and money for the reconstruction of Hogsmeade, Her Majesty the Queen also hopes to build an orphanage in Hogsmeade for children who have lost their parents." Viscount Hood said to Scrimgeour, " Her Majesty is the official guardian of all children in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, so she has an obligation to provide these poor children with a warm and safe home."

Scrimgeour quickly agreed to the request made by Lafayette's butler on behalf of Lafayette. Although he knew that there was more to it than just building an orphanage, he couldn't refuse.

Rebuilding Hogsmeade requires a large amount of building materials and food for the homeless victims. At this time, the only one who can provide these to Hogsmeade in a short time is the Muggle government.

The train station is now filled with a batch of newly delivered materials, but the people guarding the materials prohibit the people from the Ministry of Magic from getting even half a step closer to these "Queen's properties" on the grounds that the debris clearing work has not been completed.

After leaving the Pig's Head Bar, Old Rodney and Viscount Hood were walking on the streets of Hogsmeade. Old Rodney asked: "Are you going to Hogwarts to see your sister later?"

Before Viscount Hood could answer, he heard a harsh "beep-beep-beep" sound from a trumpet not far away, which frightened Viscount Hood and old Rodney into hurriedly jumping aside.

After a loaded truck sped past, Viscount Hood said to old Rodney with some embarrassment: "I think I saw her."

Old Rodney smiled helplessly, and then walked out of the village with Viscount Hood.

It was already lunch time, and the smell of onion soup was wafting from the resettlement site outside Hogwarts.

The source of the fragrance is a row of awnings next to the settlement site, which is the kitchen of the settlement site. Many victims spontaneously came here to help prepare three meals a day for the victims and the Aurors who came to support. In addition to the victims of the disaster, there were volunteers from other parts of Britain, such as Mrs. Weasley and Mrs. Lupin.

In order to avoid chaos caused by a large number of people gathering to eat, the victims at the resettlement site started eating at eleven o'clock. At twelve o'clock, the rescue workers came from the village for lunch.

At this time, Zhang Xu was eating here with Rodney.

This morning, some of the injured whose injuries had been stabilized were transported to a large hospital near Edinburgh via a horse-drawn carriage that transported students during the school holidays at Hogwarts. Zhang Xu and Rodney were responsible for the coordination of this matter. In the afternoon, they had to send some of the injured's family members there.

Zhang Xu took a dinner plate from the table, then followed a group of children and started queuing up to receive the meal.

Since many adults were involved in the reconstruction work, a few witches built a tent and opened a temporary kindergarten, and then gathered the children who were left alone for centralized management.

Now these children are coming to have lunch under the leadership of these witches.

There are not many things to choose from for lunch here. The meats are bacon, chicken legs and fried fish. The potatoes are divided into mashed potatoes and French fries. Steaming onion soup.

The person who served Zhang Xu happened to be the lady he rescued from under the bed that was trapped by the collapsed roof that day. Her face looked much better now than when she was so frightened.

Zhang Xu handed over two dinner plates, and his wife, who recognized Zhang Xu, asked while taking the dishes: "Mr. Zhang, are you free these two days?"

Zhang Xu looked at her in surprise. He shouldn't know her. How did she know him?

The other party saw Zhang Xu's doubts and said, "Mrs. Weasley told me. When we were chatting, I told her about you rescuing my daughter and me."

"I want to take a photo with you as a souvenir with my daughter."

Zhang Xu nodded and said, "No problem, I'll come back to you after I finish my work here."

Soon, Zhang Xu returned to the nearby long table and chairs with two lunches that were a little more than others. These are said to be tables and chairs, but they are actually large trees of different diameters cut in half from the nearby forest and placed there.

"Maggie, this is your lunch." Zhang Xu placed a plate in front of Maggie Mag.

"Thank you." Maggie was feeding a child over two years old.

"How is your family?" Zhang Xu asked. Professor McGonagall's relatives all moved to Hogsmeade last year.

"Although the house was destroyed, my father, uncle and I all ran out in time." Maggie replied.

"It's good that everyone is fine." Zhang Xu did not disturb Maggie, who was taking care of the children, and came to Rodney's side with his lunch.

"How come your share is more than mine?" Rodney said to Zhang Xu dissatisfied.

"If you eat any more, you will really turn into Rodney." Zhang Xu said as he put his bowl of onion soup in front of Rodney, "Then I'll give this to you."

After all these years, Zhang Xu still stays away from onion soup. Basically, he won't touch it unless it's made with hibiscus.

"Yo, you two have such a good relationship."

Zhang Xu looked at the visitor with a dark face, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching.

"Hello Mr. Rodney, have you eaten?"

After a while of introductions and pleasantries, Old Rodney and Viscount Hood sat down next to Rodney. However, if Zhang Xu and Rodney hadn't had today's lunch in front of them, this would have been a bit like a three-chamber trial.

After several people chatted for a while, Zhang Xu remembered something and asked Mr. Rodney Sr.: "Sir, I don't know about the last zombie incident. Do you have any measures to deal with it?"

Old Rodney thought for a moment, and then said: "It's not a secret. It doesn't hurt to tell you."

"According to the investigation, this zombie virus is different from the last time. This time the virus is spread through drinking water, and the disease will occur after a period of time after drinking it."

"Huh?" Zhang Xu frowned, "Then are there any preventive measures?"

"Just boil the water before you drink it," said old Rodney.

"That makes sense." Zhang Xu couldn't refute.

"Then how did you explain this matter to the public?" Zhang Xu continued to ask, "I think it is difficult to block the news about this matter, right?"

During this period, Zhang Xu didn't pay much attention to the news in the ordinary world, so he didn't know how the British government explained this matter to the people.

"In places where the scale of the outbreak is small, we just find excuses to get past it." Old Rodney said. "In those places where we really can't hide it, we say that the chemical weapons dropped by the Germans during World War II were not discovered in time and then leaked. ”
