Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts
Chapter 323 Burning the Zhangjialou
The last game of the three-school Quidditch competition is about to start. In the stands of the Quidditch stadium, Zhang Xu, Drogba, Romanov, and the Yamada brothers sat in the audience and talked about the last game Gwartz vs. Durmstrang.
It was just that when they were chatting, the other people looked at Gabriel, who had been sticking to Zhang Xu every chance she got these days, with subtle eyes.After they learned that Gabriel was Zhang Xu's sister-in-law, they were so jealous that they broke up.
The game the day before yesterday could be described as tragic.
Durmstrang used killing tactics at the beginning of the game. Fred was carried out in less than 2 minutes of the opening, and his position was replaced by the all-around substitute Zhang Xu.
Although Zhang Xu can also play impressively at the batter position, compared to the twin brothers who have a tacit understanding, the power of the combination of Zhang Xu and George is still a bit lower.
However, five minutes later, Ron was turned into a deliberate Quaffle by a Durmstrang Chaser.
From then on, the atmosphere on the court became heated.
Zhang Xu and George kept using Bludgers to greet Durmstrang players' heads, as if they would lose if they didn't hit half of them.
Until the bloody Harry Potter caught the Snitch at the end, half of the players on Hogwarts' side had been changed, and all the players on the field were injured, while there were no players on Durmstrang's side Can be changed.
Fortunately, Ron, who was slightly injured, still played well, and George used his body to help him block the Bludger several times before being carried off the field, which made Durmstrang's scoring rate not high.When Harry Potter finally caught the Snitch, Hogwarts was only fifty points behind.
It's just that when Gabriel applied medicine to Zhang Xu's unlucky nose after the game, Zhang felt that he should be injured more seriously.
Hogwarts, a two-game winning team, now has a net margin of 270 points. In theory, one of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang won a massacre victory, and after scoring 130 points, they grabbed The Golden Snitch, in order to win the final championship.
Just when the match was about to start, Dumbledore called Zhang Xu away.
Dumbledore, who was stern in the corridor behind the Quidditch pitch, handed Zhang Xu a copy of the Daily Prophet.
On the headlines of the front page, there was another photo of the Black Devil logo floating in the night sky, but the location of this photo was a bit special. Below the Black Devil logo was Zhang Xu's villa, which was burning with raging fire.
Dumbledore looked at Zhang Xu's twitching face and didn't know how to comfort him. He couldn't say something like "This is the case, don't be sad".
At this time, Zhang Xu was already burning with anger. Although he was ready for Voldemort and the Death Eaters to attack him, he never thought that they would burn his house down. Isn't the old horse afraid that he will tie the pony to a stone? Did it sink to the bottom of the lake?
Although there was nothing particularly valuable in that villa except for the laptop computer containing the complete works of Harry Potter novels, it didn't mean that they could be burned by the Death Eaters.
Especially the books in the study room are almost all copies of the Slytherin collection, many of which are treasures that dark wizards dream of.
If the Death Eaters scoured the mansion before burning it down
Thinking of this, Zhang Xu's mind suddenly flashed, and he thought of something.
"Professor, I have to go back immediately." Zhang Xu said to Dumbledore with a dark face.
"Okay." Dumbledore replied simply.
Next, Dumbledore directly turned that copy of the Daily Prophet into a portkey, and then handed it over to Zhang Xu.
It took Zhang Xu 2 minutes to say hello to the friends he just met, and made an appointment to write to everyone when he was free. Min comforted the pouting Gabriel, and finally activated the Portkey by the side of the Quidditch pitch and left.
The destination of the door key was near Zhang Xu's villa. Zhang Xu, who had just landed, accidentally stepped on a stone and slipped.
Fortunately, someone on the side helped him in time.
Zhang Xu turned his head to thank the kind-hearted people, but after seeing the person who helped him clearly, his eyes immediately became sharp.
"I'm not, I don't have one, I can make a written statement" Lucius Malfoy said, shaking his hands at a frequency of 20 Hz.
"Then who is it?" Zhang Xu squinted at the old horse and said.
"I can't betray that woman." Lucius Malfoy continued shaking his head.
"If I find out that this matter is related to you, you can go to the bottom of the lake to find your son." The murderous Zhang Xu said to the old horse.
Then Zhang Xu ignored Lucius Malfoy who had been waiting here for fear of his precious son being angered, and walked straight to the scene of the fire.
The old horse had revealed enough information just now in order to keep his son, and he had already pointed out the culprit.
Zhang Xu's villa was completely destroyed by fire, until now, there is still a lot of white smoke floating in the ruins.
Many residents of Hogsmeade watched from the outside. They all gave way when they saw Zhang Xu came back.
Zhang Xu passed by the owner of the Honeydukes candy shop,
When Mr. Froome was around, Mr. Froome stuffed Zhang Xu with a bag of candy, telling him not to be too sad.
Beside the ruins of the villa, Professor McGonagall and Scarlet stood next to Minister of Magic Fudge and Auror Office Director Rufus Scrimgeour, watching several Aurors looking for useful clues in the ruins.
When several people saw the dark-faced Zhang Xu approaching, they greeted him one after another.
Zhang Xu went directly to Fudge, the Minister of Magic, and questioned him in an emotionless voice: "Mr. Minister, when a man escaped from Azkaban three years ago, there were many people around Hogwarts and Hogsmeade?" Few dementors are guarding. But this time dozens of people escaped from Azkaban, and there have even been incidents of escaped escapees attacking people near Hogsmeade. Why haven't we seen half a dementor at this time? "
At this time, Fudge has changed a lot from when he came to Hogwarts before the start of school last year. His hairline has moved a lot, and his whole body is a lot haggard.
In the face of Zhang Xu's questioning, he could only say something like "I am a British country with its own national conditions again", and he did not have the momentum to be the head of a British department at all. Rufus Scrimgeour, who was watching, frowned up.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Xu didn't want to trouble him anymore, so he found the reliable Rufus Scrimgeour.
Rufus Scrimgeour introduced to Zhang Xu the relevant information they knew so far.
The first person to notice the fire was a drunkard who came out of the Pig's Head Bar at three o'clock in the morning. At the same time, he also saw the rising black devil's sign.
By the time the Aurors arrived, the fire was out of control.
According to the on-site inspection by the Aurors afterwards, it was only known that someone had cast the Fiercefire Curse on the house several times, but other than that, no other useful clues were found.
After Zhang Xu listened to Scrimgeour's narration, he asked a few questions. After learning that Hogsmeade and even the whole of England had no second attack by Death Eaters last night, Zhang Xu walked into the ruins .
After walking into the ruins, Zhang Xu discovered that Professor Flitwick was also shuttling among the ruins, looking for clues in the ruins like the Aurors.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Professor Flitwick." Zhang Xu thanked the disheartened Professor Flitwick.
"You're back, Zhang." After Professor Flitwick looked up and saw Zhang Xu, he cast a cleaning spell on himself, making himself as clean and tidy as he was in class.
"How can I trouble you, Professor?" Zhang Xu said to Professor Flitwick embarrassedly.
"They were careless and missed a lot of clues." Professor Flitwick pointed to the nearby Aurors and said, "They even got the wrong number of wizards who cast the Fiercefire Curse."
The few Aurors named by Professor Flitwick had nothing to say, after all, they were all students of Professor Flitwick back then.
Zhang Xu, who had already figured it out, took Professor Flitwick and Rufus Scrimgeour directly to the study room, turned over a few pieces of charcoal, and found a piece of metal that had been slightly deformed by the fire from under the charcoal. Then a small piece of melted metal inlaid in wood was found not far away.
Holding these two pieces of metal in both hands, Zhang Xu said to Scrimgeour, who was standing beside him: "There is a door with a lock at this location, and the two in my hand are the lock body and the lock box. Now that the two things are separated, it means that the door that was closed was left open when it was on fire."
Scrimgeour immediately called a few Aurors who were conducting a clueless inspection in the ruins, and asked them to look for traces of the door locks according to the locations of the rooms Zhang Xu pointed out.
The Aurors had no way of knowing some details about the house, so they could only rely on Zhang Xu to provide them with clues.
After a few minutes, the Aurors found that all the doors to the rooms were unlocked.
Hearing this news, Zhang Xu's face darkened even more.
There were some things in his bedroom that Death Eaters couldn't get.
Next, Zhang Xu and the Aurors searched carefully in the location of the study, and found that apart from the laptop and mobile phone that had been burnt into a pile, the bookshelves in the study had been emptied when the fire caught fire.
After searching the study, Zhang Xu and Scrimgeour told him to notify him of any new situation, and left the ruins.After all, some places are not easy to check under the eyes of the Aurors.
On the way back to Hogwarts after leaving Hogsmeade, Professor McGonagall said to Zhang Xu: "Don't be too sad, Mr. Zhang."
"It's okay, Professor McGonagall. Thank you for coming here early in the morning to help contact the Aurors." Zhang Xu shook his head and said to Professor McGonagall, "Money is something outside of your body. If you don't have it, it's gone. Prepare for something like this."
"By the way, we have won two consecutive victories at Beauxbatons. If there is no accident, we will be the champions of this year's three-school Quidditch competition."
"You'll just forget it." Scarlet walked on the other side of Zhang Xu and didn't give Zhang Xu a chance to change the subject.
"It doesn't matter if it counts." Zhang Xu shrugged and said, "I can't call the door anyway."
Professor McGonagall: "Just don't be too impulsive."
Scarlet: "Huh."
Professor Flitwick was silent.
The group returned to Hogwarts Castle. When they first entered the hall, Hermione, who had just walked out of the corridor leading to the basement, saw Zhang Xu, and hurried over to grab Zhang Xu and run away.
It was just that when they were chatting, the other people looked at Gabriel, who had been sticking to Zhang Xu every chance she got these days, with subtle eyes.After they learned that Gabriel was Zhang Xu's sister-in-law, they were so jealous that they broke up.
