Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Ever since he got on-line with the British government, Zhang Xu has obtained partial access to relevant intelligence of senior British government officials.

Bernard Woolley, British Prime Minister Jim Harker's personal secretary, was a bit of a stubborn man, and he couldn't tolerate grammatical errors from those he was talking to.In addition, he will tell some bad jokes and spoil the atmosphere.

Zhang Xu couldn't help but get nervous because such a big shot was waiting for him here.

But his arrival should be Jim Harker's private decision, not the decision of the British Prime Minister, otherwise it should be the cabinet secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Due to the huge difference in status and age between the two parties, Zhang Xu was unable to see the cold humor of the other party. Instead, he experienced his strict requirements on grammar and tone.

Zhang Xu thought that Bernard Woolley came to him for an informal discussion, and exchanged views comprehensively and frankly, and thus proposed a series of plans, which finally led to a variety of feasible research goals, and then proceeded accordingly. , concludes that there are some alternatives, perhaps in some cases, prudent additions to the established course, in order to achieve common ground while reserving differences, to find a way for both parties to compromise and cooperate, if both parties can carry it out, At the same time, appropriate concessions should be made. If the situation permits, possible conditions may eventually be created. No matter whether the process is correct or not, a solution satisfactory to both parties can be reached.

But Zhang Xu thought about it carefully. In diplomacy, reciprocal communication is the most important thing. Why should I make a deal with such a deep-sea monster as a small shrimp.

Sure enough, Bernard Woolley took today's meeting as a casual chat as soon as he opened his mouth, but the main content of the chat was the trends in the magic world in recent years.

After Bernard Woolley's first few language hints, Zhang Xu figured it out. This is the Prime Minister's desire to grasp the latest trends in the current magic world from a different channel, and to learn about the historical context of some things by the way.I just don't know who pulled me out.

But such a thing is a rare good thing, Zhang Xu naturally will not give up this rare opportunity.

So today became Zhang Xu's story meeting, and he worked hard to tell the story in detail and wonderfully.

After about two and a half hours, today's story will come to an end. Bernard Woolley has something to go back to London. He hopes to invite Zhang Xu to drink tea next time.And Zhang Xu took the opportunity to send a copy of Dumbledore's biography signed by Old Deng to the prime minister in his own name.

Two minutes after Zhang Xu walked out of the coffee shop, his cell phone rang.

I took out my mobile phone and looked at the caller ID. It was the embassy's work number.It was the ambassador's secretary who called. Zhang Xu didn't know the ins and outs of today's matter until after the call.

British Prime Minister Jim Harker often invites ambassadors from various countries to dinner because of the chef.

Not long ago, he invited the ambassador of our country to have lunch. During the lunch, he vaguely mentioned the affairs of the magic world. At the same time, Jim Huck expressed his routine dissatisfaction with the ambassador for the unauthorized arrest of people from the three countries on the ground in the UK.Then the ambassador routinely emphasized that the friendship between the two countries has a long history.

In the end, Jim Huck complained that his understanding of the magic world in his own country was still very limited, and the ambassador recommended to him the best person who knew the magic world in Britain.

Knowing that he was betrayed by the ambassador, Zhang Xu just wanted to give the ambassador a thick red envelope.Because his company will definitely go abroad in the future, if he can catch the line of the current prime minister at this time, his future work will undoubtedly be much more convenient.

If Lao Deng hadn't been at Hogwarts recently, Zhang Xu would have suggested that he invite the Prime Minister and his secretaries to Hogwarts for the Halloween dinner.

After the phone call, Zhang Xu put away his mobile phone, and then he planned to go to the Three Broomsticks bar for a drink.

Just as Zhang Xu was walking on Central Street, he suddenly heard screams coming from the direction of returning to Hogwarts.

He looked in the direction where the screams came from, and saw a student flying up in the distance, and a few students below were flying

Tried to drag that student down.

Due to various reasons, Dumbledore did not take back the communicator used by the Hogwarts professors in Zhang Xu's hands, so Zhang Xu immediately sent this situation in the communicator.

After putting away the communicator, Zhang Xu immediately walked through the alley between the houses, came to the back door of the Three Broomsticks bar, and began to carefully observe the traces of people walking on the ground.

Due to the sleet last night and the cold and windy weather today, many places are now covered with hoarfrost.

Soon, Zhang Xu found a string of fresh footprints at the back door of the Three Broomsticks bar.After casting the Disillusionment Curse on himself, he followed the footprints.

The owner of this series of footprints obviously had no anti-stalking experience, and just walked straight into the depths of Hogsmeade in the empty alley behind the house.

In less than a few minutes, Zhang Xu blocked the owner of this series of footprints in an empty alley.

Malfoy, who was hurrying with his head down, found someone blocking the other end of the alley, he jumped back in fright, and immediately drew out his wand.

"I think you are so nervous because you are afraid of being attacked by Death Eaters." Zhang Xu said while holding "This Face the Enemy" with his right hand and hitting the palm of his left hand, staring at Malfoy, "I think other Death Eaters The gangsters are afraid that you will cause trouble for them."

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, his eyes fell on Malfoy's left arm.

And Malfoy subconsciously covered his left arm with his right hand like a girl who was stared at ○○.

At this moment, a group of three patrolling Aurors came nearby and spotted the two confronting each other in the alley.

"What are you doing?" the lead Auror called after entering the alley.

"Hey, you're Zhang?" the leading Auror asked after seeing Zhang Xu.

"Long time no see, Thomas." Zhang Xu turned around and saw the person coming, and greeted him with a smile, "Let Percy be your boss, what do you think?"

Thomas was very speechless about which pot of Zhang Xu he would not open and which pot to carry, because he was two grades higher than Percy, and he was the chairman of the male student union when Zhang Xu first entered school. At that time, he was in charge of Percy, who had just become a prefect.Moreover, he and Zhang Xu have brushed up the friendship of Qi Luo's dungeon together.

At this time, Zhang Xu discovered that the other two Aurors were also acquaintances, and they had brushed the basilisk dungeon together.

The three of them soon discovered that the other student with cold sweat on his forehead was Draco Malfoy.

Among them, the Auror from the former Slytherin house named Marcus asked: "What are you and Malfoy doing, did he do something wrong?"

Marcus clearly had a friendship with Malfoy, and there was a hint of peacemaker in his tone.

They walked from the other side of Hogsmeade, obviously not aware of what happened on the way back to Hogwarts, otherwise based on their knowledge of Zhang Xu, they would definitely think that Zhang Xu was catching the murderer.

"I was in the Three Broomsticks bar just now, and I found a figure of a man coming out of the women's bathroom, and then leaving through the back door." Zhang Xu nonsense, "So I chased that figure to the vicinity, but when I was nearby I accidentally lost him, and then I happened to meet Malfoy here, and I was about to ask him if he saw any suspicious people nearby."

Immediately afterwards, the three Aurors looked sharply at Malfoy.

At this moment, a figure rushed into the alley and said, "Can I ask you a few questions?"

When Malfoy saw the woman holding the parchment in one hand and the dark green quill in the other, his pale face suddenly became whiter than snow. Come here and kill the few people in front of you.

And Zhang Xu greeted her with a smile: "Ms. Skeeter, congratulations on finally being discharged from the hospital."
