Chinese students at Hogwarts

Chapter 133 Rhetoric

Because of his hangover, Professor Snape silently wrote a note to Zhang Xiao, asking him to have a good rest in the dormitory.

So unless Professor Snape was so arrogant, Harry would have to take his surname.

Lying on the soft bed, Zhang Xiao desperately recalled what happened last night.

In addition to drinking barrel after barrel of wine with Hagrid, having barbecues and finally flying into the sky riding a dragon, what next?

Did I fly with someone else? What plane? Did you win?

Wait a minute, it seems like this is happening. I'm riding on Norbert with sonic boom clouds around me? ?

Damn it, Zhang Xiao jumped out of bed and banged his head desperately.

Are you kidding me? Noble's flapping wing structure can fly at the speed of sound? It is considered fast if it can fly up to 300 kilometers per hour!

But what happened to my memory? This is definitely the first time I have seen this kind of sonic boom cloud from a first-person perspective. It is so real. And after the "bang" sound, there was silence between heaven and earth.

Impossible, impossible, it must be an illusion!

If it really exceeded the speed of sound, I would have been burned to ashes, right? Plus the load.

Just like all people who have been separated are very curious about what happened during the break, Zhang Xiao now particularly wants to know what he did during the break.

It was a pity that Norbert couldn't speak. After resting for a while, he remembered Dumbledore's punishment and felt that he was in a good state. He simply got up from the bed, found a bucket and mop, and went to the corridor outside the Slytherin common room.

Although there is no one to supervise, Zhang Xiao does not intend to use magic secretly. Many times, being clever may seem like a temporary gain, but he loses something more important.

But he didn't intend to just do it stupidly the whole time. He would do whatever Filch did.

Filch's bucket is an enchanted water storage bucket. It looks small, but the water in it will refill when it is used up. In fact, it is a constant spell of clear water like a spring.

His mop is not an ordinary mop, but a semi-automatic mop. As long as it is placed on the ground, it will spin quickly and rub the ground hard.

It doesn't require much effort. Just hold the mop and walk aside, and the ground will be as bright as new. Coupled with various magical stain removers, it is generally very easy.

This is one of the reasons why Filch was reluctant to leave Hogwarts, because he couldn't let go of magic.

I have to say that cleaning is sometimes a very exciting thing. Watching the originally dirty floor become as clean as new again through your own efforts will fill your heart with a special sense of satisfaction.

At this moment, there was a low noise, like a large swarm of bees buzzing around, causing the students to talk and laugh happily, and then the Slytherin students were pushing and shoving, fighting and noisy. Overflowed the stairs.

When the people in front saw Zhang Xiao holding a mop, the lively and chattering sounds suddenly disappeared, and Zhang Xiao looked at them with an unkind expression.

I've just finished dragging you. With hundreds of your feet stepping on me, won't it be in vain?

Malfoy squeezed out from the crowd and asked in surprise:

"Zhang, why are you here? Why are you mopping the floor? Professor Snape said you were not feeling well and rested in the dormitory. I even brought you food!"

As he spoke, he raised the paper bag in his hand and shook it.

Zhang Xiao took the paper bag with a grimace. In fact, he was not hungry at all, but this was Brother La's wish. No matter whether he ate or not, he still had to take it.

"Don't mention it. I was punished by the principal. I have to clean this corridor three times a week until Filch recovers from the petrification."

Malfoy raised his eyebrows, stepped forward, took the mop from Zhang Xiao's hand, and said easily

"It's very simple. I'll help you clean it up. It'll be quick."

Several more little wizards also squeezed out of the crowd and shouted:

"Zhang, let's help you!"

Zhang Xiao was very pleased that his hard work this year was not in vain! Finally, these little wizards still know how to feel sorry for their boss!

He waved his hands and refused their help. As a punishment, some could help and some could not. This was obviously Dumbledore's attempt to temper his temper.

If he asked someone for help, he might come up with some ideas, and Zhang Xiao thought that mopping the floor would be a good idea, just to free his mind.

A young wizard in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Zhang, they all said that you flew around on a dragon last night. Is it true?"

Is the news leaked now? Only a fool would admit it. If he really admitted it, wouldn't these little wizards bother him to death? Do you want to ride a dragon every day?

Zhang Xiaogang was about to deny it when he heard the little wizard say: "That's what Draco said. He said it was secret information and all the professors knew it!"

Malfoy?

Zhang Xiao immediately turned around and saw Brother Drag raising his head, turning his head to one side and whistling.

Okay, let me ask you why you are so diligent in helping me do it together. It turns out it was your kid who leaked the news.

It was said that this was the job, and in order to save brother’s face, Zhang Xiao had no choice but to say it.

"Yes, but this is something Principal Dumbledore asked me to keep secret, so I can't say more."

The eyes of all the little wizards seemed to be shining brightly, and they all sighed:

"Wow! Cool!"

At this moment, those extreme purebloods who were standing aside with sullen faces and arms folded suddenly couldn't help but snorted coldly, as if they couldn't stand Zhang Xiao being so showy.

They walked onto the shiny floor together. When they passed by Zhang Xiao, they deliberately rubbed their feet on the ground. Some even stomped twice, with a nasty smile on their faces.

"Sorry about the mess on the floor, but I'm going back to the common room to rest."

Zhang Xiao was a little surprised, no, don't these pure bloods have long memories? Or is there something seriously wrong with your brain?

Do you think you won't get beaten if you pretend to walk normally? Are you walking normally?

Malfoy's face also turned cold. He could understand the brain circuits of these purebloods.

If he had followed his previous temper and Potter wiped the floor, he would have stepped on it deliberately.

He whispered: “Maybe they think you don’t dare to do anything because you are being punished and they are ‘walking normally’.

Zhang Xiao:.

With a slight hook of his fingers, the wand hanging on his waist immediately jumped out of the bag and fell into his palm.

Before he could recite the spell or make any movement, someone in the crowd could not help but pull out their wands and recite a small curse loudly towards them.

With one person taking the lead, more people responded. They all drew out their wands and chanted their best spells.

Colorful spells flew like raindrops towards the group of purebloods who were playing happily. There was a look of horror on their faces. Before they could react, they were hit by several spells.

Various spells with strange effects came together to produce a wonderful chemical reaction.

The most unlucky one was even hit by all the little evil spells. His hair seemed to have a mind of its own and danced away from their heads, leaving behind a polished head with two front teeth that kept growing. Keep it on until your upper lip can no longer be covered.

At the same time, he was laughing uncontrollably, clapping his hands, and tap dancing at his feet.

Using a difficult posture that was impossible for ordinary people to do, he whirled and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Zhang Xiao shook his head. These purebloods are hopeless, but think about it. If he could see the situation clearly, he would have been on his side long ago, instead of acting like a buffoon, always thinking of disgusting you.

They can't even understand why they are isolated by everyone, and they still stubbornly think that they are good at dreaming because they lived in the environment where they were looked up to and feared in the past.

The wand danced lightly on the tip of his finger. He raised the wand and waved it with great amplitude. He saw the Slytherin students who were under many small curses floating from the ground one after another. Then he waved the wand again. , these pure-blood students flew out a few meters away like broken sacks and landed in the hallway.

Zhang Xiao raised his head, nodded towards these extremely pure-blooded people, shook his head and said, "Who's going to inform Madam Pomfrey? It's just that some students had an accident while experimenting with magic spells, and they got themselves killed." It looks like this.”

However, looking at the many scattered footprints on the originally smooth and new floor, Zhang Xiao still felt a little uncomfortable. People who don't usually do good hygiene are like this.

If you do cleaning once in a while, you will temporarily become a mysophobia, and you will get angry when you see someone dirtying the house you have worked so hard to clean.

But no matter how clean you are, as long as someone passes by, there will always be more footprints.

Finally, a little wizard reminded him.

The meaning of cleaning is to turn the dirty into clean. If it is always clean, then cleaning will be meaningless.

As time goes by, more and more young wizards know the story of Zhang Xiao riding a Norwegian Ridgeback and flying out of Hogwarts at night.

They came to Zhang Xiao in groups, excitedly asking how to ride a dragon or if there was a way to lend Norbert from Hagrid.

Even Harry and Ron found him quietly, complaining that he wasn't a good friend enough and didn't ask them to do such a cool thing as riding a dragon. After all, they had watched Norbert grow up.

Hermione was holding a thick copy of the Ministry of Magic's Protected List of Dangerous Magical Creatures.

Pointing to the terrifying description of the dragon above, he tried to persuade Zhang Xiao not to do such a dangerous thing.

But when Zhang Xiao asked her if she wanted to ride a dragon together next time, the little witch immediately forgot about the list in her hand, her face turned red, and she asked in a tone of excitement and longing what it was like to fly on a dragon.

All I can say is, woman.

During this period, Zhang Xiao also went to Hagrid's place. The big man was very happy now, because Noble could finally appear in front of people openly.

He no longer had to hide it in a small wooden box whenever someone came over like before.

Hagrid wiped away his tears and said with a choked voice: "It's great. Norbert is a good boy. He can finally hide away. It must be hard to stay in the black box, right?"

The little dragon was lying on his big furry head. He used his claws and mouth to make something like a chicken coop on Hagrid's hair. He lay down in it comfortably and seemed to regard it as a new nest.

In addition to Zhang Xiao coming to hand over the special dragon-raising license to Hai, another important thing was to measure Noble's size.

Because my dad said that if you want to ride a dragon, it’s best to customize a riding saddle.

This way, it will be more comfortable to carry, not tiring after sitting for a long time, and it will feel more like a knight.

What else could Zhang Xiao say besides cheerfully agreeing?

"Dad, aren't you worried or angry about me riding a dragon?"

Zhang Chengdao asked with a smile: "Why are you worried? Why are you angry?

Although the dragon is indeed a very scary creature.

But as long as no one is hurt and safety is ensured, no one can tell that many of the seniors in the Taoist sect are raising spiritual beasts that are far scarier and more ferocious than the giant dragon!

What's more, when I was your age, I was already riding around on the mountain-holding tiger demon. It was much more powerful than that thing you were riding.

The tiger has a title! "

But in the end, Zhang Chengdao also repeatedly warned and reminded his son that he must be careful not to let Norbert hurt anyone.

As the days passed, the students seemed to have forgotten about the attack on Filch, and they did not feel that there was any danger lurking in the school.

But Zhang Xiao was different. The thing about the basilisk was like a needle pricking his heart.

He would always find time to secretly take a look at the bathroom on the third floor, but everything there was as usual and there was no movement at all.

The professors are also as vigilant as Zhang Xiao. They are not little wizards who know nothing.

To achieve the level of petrifying Filch requires quite terrifying black magic, and even many professors cannot do it. They take the trouble to lead the little wizard to and from the common room every day. Perform your duties seriously.

Zhang Xiao, who became increasingly uneasy, became more and more eager to trick Harry into speaking Parseltongue.

Finally one afternoon, he found his chance.

It was a sunny afternoon, and the sunshine was warm and genial. Zhang Xiao, along with Malfoy, Hermione, Ron, and Harry, were sitting next to the woods by the black lake, looking at the mountains in the distance and chatting. With.

After everyone talked about some interesting things that happened recently, Zhang Xiao finally pretended to be casual and led the topic in the direction he wanted.

"Guys, did you all show off your incredible talents before going to Hogwarts?"

Malfoy nodded proudly, chest high: "Of course, I am a rare genius in the Malfoy family. I could fly around on the lawn of the manor as early as three years old. .

Ron sneered: "Could it be that your father is hiding behind and controlling the wand to amuse you, right?"

Malfoy was furious, and a faint blush appeared on his pale face. He jumped up from the ground and pointed at Ron and shouted: "Weasley, I have tolerated you for a long time!

Don't forget that we still have some accounts to settle. If you still agree that you have Weasley blood in your body, let us continue the unfinished battle of our fathers! "

Ron also jumped up and blushed. The two young wizards were not willing to be outdone and were quarreling with each other while choosing a suitable place as the battlefield for the 'duel'.

The remaining three people looked helplessly at the two figures' backs in the distance. Anyway, they must have thrown away their wands and hugged each other in the end. There won't be any trouble.

"Hermione, how did you realize there was something unusual about you?"

Hermione's little face turned red: "I always loved books when I was a kid, and they all called me a nerd.

One time, my classmates hid my books. I was so sad that I couldn't find the books and cried out of anxiety.

But in the blink of an eye, I found the book appearing in front of me. It flew out of another girl's bag.

The book dragged her straight from the bathroom to me, she, she...she didn't even put on her pants!

Zhang Xiao and Harry imagined the scene and couldn't help laughing.

Hermione patted them angrily and said a little disappointed: "My parents transferred me to another school after this happened.

I always thought there was something wrong with me until I received my acceptance letter to Hogwarts. "

As she spoke, her expression became sunny again, and she said shyly:

"Then, I met you here and became real good friends!"

After finishing speaking, she and Harry looked at Zhang Xiao and asked curiously: "Zhang, you are so strong and so good at studying. You must have been able to perform a lot of magical magic when you were young, right?"

Zhang Xiao shrugged: "I may have disappointed you, but I actually didn't show any magical talent before entering Hogwarts. I have always considered myself an ordinary person."

"What? You haven't shown any magical talent?"

Harry couldn't help but asked in shock.

Zhang Xiao nodded, indicating that he was not lying.

Hermione poked her chin with her index finger, frowned slightly, and said slowly: "

I remember reading it in a book.

The magical talent of the little wizards comes from their emotional excitement.

Harry, do you remember what Neville said? He has never shown any magical talent, and he has always felt that he is a squib!

In order to force him to show his magic talent, his uncles even threw him into the water, hoping to stimulate him with danger. In the end, his uncle accidentally threw him from the building.

Maybe Zhang didn't show his talent because he never had any stimulation? "

Zhang Xiao nodded approvingly: "You're right, Hermione.

In fact, before I went to school, my mood was always very calm. "

Regarding this issue, I have actually already speculated.

Magic is actually based on cognition. Before receiving the notice from Hogwarts, I actually didn't know that I was in a magical society, and subconsciously I didn't believe in the existence of magic.

In addition, there is indeed not enough stimulation, and of course there will be no magic talent to show off.

Zhang Xiao turned his attention to Harry, the main speaker of this conversation.

"What about you? Harry, what interesting things have happened to you?"

Harry sat on the floor with his legs slightly apart and his hands on his knees.

With a happy smile on his face, he enjoyed the atmosphere of chatting with friends very much, because Dali didn't even have any friends in school. It was precisely because many weird things happened to him that many classmates called him weird. fetal.

Harry thought for a while and said, "The thing that happens the most and most frequently should be my hair!"

He pulled at his messy hair.

"My hair has always been like this, and Aunt Petunia couldn't stand it. One time she even shaved my head!

But when I woke up the next day, I found that my hair was back to normal.

Hermione couldn't help but look envious, she really wanted this talent.

Harry was addicted to this atmosphere of confiding, and after thinking for a while, he continued: "There was another time when Dudley chased me, and he was about to catch up. When I came to my senses, I was actually sitting on the highest floor in the school. On top of the chimney, guys! It was more than ten meters above the ground. I was so scared that my legs were weak.

Hermione's eyes lit up, and she said loudly and excitedly: "Wow!

Harry, your talent must be very strong, I saw it in the book! The more specialties little wizards show when they are young, the stronger their magical talents will be!

Zhang Xiao agreed and said:

"That's right!"

What Hermione said was indeed true. She was stronger than Voldemort and Dumbledore, or even Snape and Lily. They could even consciously operate this kind of riot that should have been instinctive in their childhood.

But Snape and Lily were far behind Voldemort. Although it’s difficult to comment on other aspects of Tom, there is no doubt that his talent is first-rate!

Harry said happily: "Is it true? Is it true that the more times you show it, the stronger your talent becomes?"

With the encouragement from Zhang Xiao and Hermione, Harry became even more excited, and he immediately continued:

“One more fun thing, guys!

When I was 10 years old, I followed the Dali family to the zoo. Do you know what happened?

I locked Dali inside the glass! A python was also released. What's more important is that I talked to him! "

After finishing speaking, Harry looked at his two friends expectantly, hoping to get their admiration again. This was a display of two talents at once!

Hermione was stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly turned pale.

Zhang Xiao sighed silently. It was not easy to finally get it out!

Because my hand hurt a little, I tried the voice input method. It was really fast, but the written things lacked a sense of hierarchy and I always felt weird.

What’s even more annoying is that it takes one hour to code and two hours to revise, so some friends may read it incorrectly, so just refresh it.

I’ll continue typing by hand tomorrow, I can’t use this broken input method.
