Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

"well……"

Zhang Xu couldn't help but sigh as he stroked the fur that was no longer smooth and soft.

Ten years have passed, and many new lives have been welcomed around him, while many old friends have left forever.

In the winter of the previous two years, Mrs. Norris, who fell asleep in front of the fireplace, never got up to patrol the castle with Filch.

Now, Ginger and Fish Cake spend more and more time sleeping in the sun on the balcony every day. When Zhang Xu strokes them, they just raise their heads and gently rub against Zhang Xu's hand.

Perhaps, when Zhang Xu comes to the UK next time, he will never see them again.

"We are going to New Zealand for a holiday this Christmas and it's too cold here," said the owner of Ginger and Fish Cake.

Zhang Xu nodded and said "hmm".

Many people knew that Zhang Xu had come to the UK this time, but since these days happened to be the day when the Ministry of Magic moved back to London from Hogsmeade, acquaintances who worked in the Ministry of Magic were very busy. So Zhang Xu didn't bother them, but mysteriously disappeared for a few days.

When Harry Potter was able to find time to meet Zhang Xu, the new and old students of Hogwarts had already boarded the train to the school.

This was the first time that Harry came to the kitchen to make dumplings at noon on the first day of school at Hogwarts. Eleven years ago, it was Harry who made dumplings here.

It is a Hogwarts tradition for professors to go to the kitchen to make dumplings after the faculty meeting on the morning of the first day of school. The Sorting Hat once sang: "Jingle bell, jingle bell, eat the dumplings first and then drink the soup. This semester will be safe."

At this time every year before the start of school, professors will be happily making dumplings in the kitchen, and then conduct an informal and friendly extensive exchange of opinions on some issues that everyone is concerned about this academic year.

Zhang did not expect that the activity that he accidentally started to deal with Umbridge would continue to this day, and would continue to do so.

It stands to reason that in previous years, the entire school's professors would gather around the table to make dumplings together, but this year there were guests, so a few people opened a separate table.

After ten years of unremitting research, the Flesh and Bone Separation Curse has been further developed. However, the current version of the Shrimp Separation Curse can only work on a single shrimp at a time, so Zhang Xu can only use a magic wand to separate the shrimps from each one. Pull the shrimp out of the shell, and then use the same type of magic spell to remove the intestines from the shrimp.

Harry prepared diced mushrooms of several kinds on the side. After adding spices and mixing well, these diced mushrooms will be used together with shrimp dipped in egg liquid to form the filling of dumplings.

Professor McGonagall just sat there, listening to Zhang Xu's purpose this time.

"Those two children are the son and daughter of Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange?" Professor McGonagall looked at Zhang Xu in surprise.

Harry was so frightened that he almost dropped the basin in his hand.

Fortunately, the three of them used magic to isolate the sound from outside, otherwise it would be strange if the professors didn't explode.

"Yes." Zhang Xu nodded to Professor McGonagall, "Many years ago, before the child was born, I consulted you about the child's lineage and family name. Do you still remember?" See Chapter 395 for details. chapter

"By the way, those two children also have a relationship with Harry that is difficult to sever." Zhang Xu said to Harry.

"What does it have to do with me?" Harry asked strangely, "Are they two looking for me to avenge their parents?"

"It's not that simple." Zhang Xu placed the na identification document in front of Harry, and then started to make dumplings himself.

He first spread a piece of dumpling wrapper on the palm of his left hand, then scooped a spoonful of diced mushrooms into the middle of the dumpling wrapper, then placed shrimps wrapped in thick egg liquid on top of the diced mushrooms, and finally wrapped the dumpling wrapper.

When Zhang Xu made a lot of dumplings, Harry handed the documents back to Zhang Xu with a solemn expression.

"Do you understand?" Zhang Xu asked Harry.

"I know a little bit," Harry replied. "I had some communication in this regard when working with the Muggle police."

Zhang Xu kept making dumplings on his hands and continued to ask: "What do you think of the sudden addition of two grandchildren?"

Harry was silent for a long time, and then asked Zhang Xu a question: "Aren't they Horcruxes?"

"That's not the case." Zhang Xu shook his head, "They have been inspected many times when they were young, and they are no different from other wizards except that they speak Parseltongue."

"Then I have no reason to object to their return to the UK." Harry helped make dumplings. "I can't arrest them based on their parents' identities."

At this time, Professor McGonagall spoke, she said: "Hogwarts will not reject them. However, I want to know what kind of people they are?"

Zhang Xu smiled at Professor McGonagall's question. Professor McGonagall was afraid that Voldemort's children would also follow Voldemort's path because of their childhood experiences.

"Well, they are all good children, and they have been awarded three good students several times." Zhang Xu said to Professor McGonagall, "The old society turns people into ghosts, and the new society turns ghosts into people. Their growing environment is not like Voldemort. Like in the orphanage, they didn't lack care when they were growing up, and they didn't have anything to worry about."

"I have been paying great attention to cultivating them since I returned to China. They have received my personal teachings since they were young. You should be able to trust me."

Professor McGonagall and Harry responded with "haha" at the same time to Zhang Xu's last words, and then turned their heads and looked at Neville with pity, who had been trying to eavesdrop on the conversation not far away.

Seeing the looks from Professor McGonagall and Harry, Neville was startled and realized that he seemed to be in trouble.

Although he didn't know what Zhang Xu's purpose was for returning to Hogwarts this time, Neville thought it was right to strengthen the defense in the greenhouse.

At this time, the house elves brought out the first pot of cooked dumplings. The solidified eggs in the dumplings will lock in the moisture on the shrimp and mushrooms, and at the same time bind the shrimp and mushrooms together. When Zhang Xu took a bite of the dumpling, he could feel the bounce of the shrimp, the crispness of the mushrooms and the softness of the eggs at the same time.

Harry said while eating, "I'm afraid that some remnants of deeply hidden Death Eaters will use their life experiences to make an issue."

"That's just to give you credit." Zhang Xu replied, "It's just enough to attract those guys who are giving you a headache and catch them all."

"I'm more worried about other students getting along with them." Professor McGonagall said worriedly, "I'm worried that the students will isolate and alienate them after learning about their origins."

"As long as the professors do not participate in or favor such behavior, the two of them will handle this matter themselves." Zhang Xu said, "I think Lanier will know what to do."

"And you don't have to worry about the reaction outside the school. Someone will handle the public opinion matter."

After communicating with Professor McGonagall and Harry about the twin brother and sister issues, Zhang Xu ate a plate of dumplings and left Hogwarts. It turned out that Professor McGonagall wanted to invite him and Harry to attend tonight's opening dinner as guests, but Zhang Xu declined and took Harry away at the same time.

Harry was obviously worried when he walked out of the castle. Zhang Xu joked to him: "Why, you still can't accept the fact that you suddenly have two more grandchildren?"

Harry grimaced and nodded.

Zhang Xu smiled and patted Harry on the shoulder, and then said: "You have to settle this matter with Dumbledore." Remember the website address, WWW. Biquxu． Com for easy reading next time, or enter " " in Baidu to enter this site
