Chinese students at Hogwarts

The Boggart exploded into a ball of fine smoke, rolling and boiling, as if something terrible was gestating in it.

Zhang Xiao was inexplicably nervous, and the muscles all over his body were tense. He really didn't know what he was afraid of.

Because there are many things to be afraid of, but it is not that simple if anything is contaminated with the word.

Moreover, Boggarts can only turn into specific things, but they cannot turn into scenes.

At this moment, Zhang Xiao felt the pendant hanging around his neck heat up.

The Boggart exploded into dense smoke spurs, just like a sea urchin, even though it had no actual image.

The little wizard and Lupine who saw this scene felt that this Boggart was very painful.

With a 'pop' sound, the Boggart retracted into the closet, and everyone saw the closet begin to shake, as if something was hiding inside and shivering.

A strange cry that had never been heard before suddenly rang out in the house, with a soul-stirring anger that resounded throughout the classroom.

The little wizard, who stretched his neck to watch the excitement, let out a panicked shout. They all covered their ears, crouched down, and looked around for the source of the sound.

Zhang Xiao:.

Why did you forget about the pendant? The root of the Boggart's change must be something like Legilimency.

Doesn't this hit the muzzle of the gun?

It can only be said that Boggart's telepathy technique is not very powerful, otherwise it would be the same as Professor Snape last time, who would bring out the dragon and tiger statue.

The poor boggart would have died on the spot.

The sound of dragons and tigers roaring slowly dissipated, and the little wizard stood up in confusion. It seemed that there was no danger.

The fears and worries immediately turned into discussions of excitement.

"What was that sound just now?"

"I don't know, but I bet it must be a ferocious beast!"

"I visited a dragon in a protected area in Romania! Even the dragon's roar wasn't as scary as the sound I just heard!"

"To be honest, my legs are still a little weak right now."

"Is it the sound Zhang made?"

"Wait a minute!" A little wizard's eyes flashed with 'wisdom', and he said thoughtfully: "Guys, is it possible that it was transformed by a Boggart?"

"You mean - Zhang is afraid of those two sounds?"

I'm scared shitless!

Lu Ping immediately looked at Zhang Xiao with questioning eyes.

Zhang Xiao nodded to him, shook his head, and took off a pendant from his neck.

The meaning expressed by these actions is clear-it was an accident.

Then something happened that none of the little wizards expected.

This Boggart is determined not to come out, and is just hiding in the closet unable to survive.

Boggarts are not without intelligence. On the contrary, they are very smart and stubborn.

According to legend in northern England, a farmer was so annoyed by the Boggart's pranks that he packed up everything in his house and prepared to move to a new home.

The neighbor asked him if he was moving.

Before he could answer, a happy voice came from the box: "Yes, we are moving to a new home."

The farmer and his family had no choice but to return home dejected.

So for the Boggart in the closet, it likes to scare people, but it doesn't like to be scared.

Under the amused and excited eyes of the little wizard, Lu Ping and Zhang Xiao had to talk nice words around the closet for a long time.

And I promise again and again that the situation just now will never happen.

Finally, the boggart decided to trust the wizards one more time.

The shaking in the closet slowly intensified, which was a characteristic of the Boggart before his transformation.

The little wizards immediately stopped talking and looked at the closet expectantly.

Even Zhang Xiao and Lu Ping couldn't help but slow down their breathing.

The closet door slowly opens

Zhang Xiao has thought about what Boggarts can do, including turning into the original Harry Potter, grandpa, having a relative die, and lying in the ICU by himself

Even a handsome-looking 30-year-old middle-aged man came out with a keyboard and told him that he had thought about life in novels.

But I definitely didn’t expect this scene to happen——

"Lao Deng, is it safe downstairs where my ghost fire is parked?"

He has messy yellow hair, a low-quality Hermès belt, a stooped back, and is as thin as a chicken. He is wearing tight pants and beanie shoes.

Zhang Xiao's hands had begun to tremble.

Beside him was a young and beautiful girl who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and her face and eyes could vaguely tell that she was his daughter.

"Dad, you don't know him at all!"

Zhang Xiao's eyes turned red instantly, he was angry, his body was trembling, and suddenly there was a dazzling golden light.

At this moment, all the peace, the funny, and the promise not to bully the Boggart were all forgotten.

The Boggart exploded into a sea urchin again with a 'pop', and then dived back with a 'whoosh'.

Pooh! If I believe in wizards again, I will be a clown!

The golden light on Zhang Xiao's body slowly converged, and he let out a sigh of relief.

The little wizards at the back had shrunk into a ball in fear and were hiding tremblingly behind. They didn't know why they just looked weirdly dressed, but normal people were what Zhang was most afraid of.

Is this what you fear most?

Of course, since the birth of his daughter, who was a beautiful and lovely long-legged girl in her previous life, Zhang Xiao began to fall into sorrow in advance.

The scene conjured by the Boggart was simply his own nightmare!

In order to prevent this scene, I even went to take the motorcycle driver's license test, planning to experience the tricks of those energetic guys in advance with my daughter when she was young.

It can only be said that Boggart is very good at choosing his image.

"Ahem - okay!" Seeing that something was not right, Professor Luping clapped his hands loudly and shouted. At this time, the whole class clapped as if waking up from a dream.

"Well - I'd say, well done, fella."

Lupine tried his best to smooth things over. He looked at the little wizards who were looking at each other and decided to make them happy.

Let me see.. Five points for everyone in Gryffindor and five points for everyone in Slytherin!

Because everyone dealt with the Boggart - ten points to Neville for taking the lead - and five points each to Harry and Hermione. "

"But I didn't do anything," said Harry.

"You and Hermione both answered my questions correctly at the beginning of this lesson, Harry." Lupine said easily, "Well, hello everyone, a great lesson.

For homework, please read the chapter about the Boggart and write a summary due on Monday.

No more, okay, get out of class is over, get out of class is over! "

The little wizards went out happily. Before they could go out, Professor Lupine ran to the closet to comfort his 'teaching aids'.

The little wizard who got extra points for everyone finally showed a happy smile again.

The entire class left the faculty lounge chatting excitedly.

They talked about Zhang Xiao's strange scene and his heroic scene against the Boggart.

"Did you see me dealing with the ghost?" Seamus yelled.

"And that hand!" Dean said, waving his hand.

"And Snape with that hat!"

"And my mummy!"

The four little ones gathered around Zhang Xiao curiously, wanting to get some first-hand 'inside information' from him.

Even Hermione, who had just been 'sinked' by 'Professor McGonagall', looked at him with slightly red and swollen eyes.

Malfoy can understand Chinese, even because he learned Northeastern dialect.

He can even understand what ‘Lao Deng’ means.

Brother Drag frowned and asked: "Zhang, why are you afraid that others will call you Lao Deng? And what does it mean that the will-o'-the-wisp stopped downstairs?"

"secret!"

Zhang Xiao had a straight face, cherished his words like gold, and then abruptly changed the subject.

"By the way, I would like to invite you to my home for Christmas, including your family. Are you willing?"

As expected, this topic immediately attracted everyone's attention. The custom of British wizards is that as long as there is a big meal, it doesn't matter where Christmas is celebrated.

That's why there are many little wizards who stay in school for Christmas.

"Christmas?"

"Going to your house?"

"marvelous!"

"Yes, yes!"

Harry looked at the bare tree trunks outside the window and said leisurely and fascinated:

“It’s almost Christmas”

This was the first time that Harry looked forward to this most important holiday of the year.

Although spending Christmas with your friends at Hogwarts is indeed a very happy thing.

But what Harry looked forward to most was actually spending time with his family and having a real Christmas.

In the past, this wish was destined to only come true in dreams, but now he has Sirius.

He raised his head, his emerald green eyes were shining, and he grinned happily and said:

"Zhang, Sirius and I are going together!"

Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment and smiled in return:

"Of course, you're welcome!"

As the next Hogsmeade week approaches, Lupine becomes more and more nervous. Perhaps Dumbledore's words give him a little vague hope.

Lu Ping actually vaguely felt that maybe Zhang's parents could really see something.

In addition, Sirius, whom he had not seen for a long time, would also come to Hogsmeade. The complex mood of excitement, anxiety and happiness made this quiet and gentle professor feel the same feeling he had when he was in school for a long time.

That damn, long awaited Hogsmeade weekend, come on!

"Snapped!"

Zhang Xiao felt a strange force coming from his wrist, causing him to involuntarily move in another direction.

It's just that this force is still very weak, and he can break free with just a slight exertion on his waist and abdomen.

With his body centered on his right foot, Zhang Xiao suddenly turned half of his body and bent his elbow to hit the opponent.

Neville used his old moves, but before he could catch up with the next move, he could only watch as the hard olecranon bone hit his face.

"Okay." Zhang Xiao stopped and patted Neville on the shoulder: "Neville, you are making rapid progress!"

After the gym prepared for the club was built, Zhang Xiao simply made an empty room for sparring purposes.

Martial arts training cannot be without actual combat. Although it was a sparring session, Zhang Xiao was basically giving Neville tricks and helping him digest what he had learned as quickly as possible.

From the first time Neville just stumbled and followed the routine rigidly, now he is actually able to deflect his fists.

This kind of progress can only be said to be frighteningly fast.

Zhang Xiao has never slacked off when he asked himself, and Longhushan also said that he is a genius in Taoism. Because of this, Neville's progress is astonishing.

In response to Zhang's compliment, Neville's round face showed a happy smile.

Although he still couldn't fight back against Zhang, he didn't feel any frustration or disappointment. Si Fu had already told him before going down the mountain.

The things taught to him are things that can be practiced for a lifetime. They need to be practiced frequently and felt with heart.

Even if the progress is slow, it doesn't matter, but you can't be greedy for progress and lose the original intention of Tai Chi.

Neville felt that he was not smart. Even if Zhang's grandfather helped him get out of that confused state, Neville felt that he had not become smarter.

He has always felt that he is a clumsy person, so it is normal to learn things slowly. It is precisely because he is stupid, so he must firmly remember Si Fu's words and don't be smart.

The master said that you should practice more frequently, so do all the necessary things besides practice.

The master said not to be greedy for merit and rush forward, so always use the pious mentality of a beginner, do every punch well, and be as serious as the first time you learn it.

Because of purity, we can approach that point and reach the peak.

Neville didn't know how talented he was, so he didn't know how surprised Zhang Xiao was.

Damn it!

Neville has only been learning Tai Chi for a few months! ! !

Have you actually developed that kind of imaginary and real Tai Chi energy? ? ?

Zhang Xiao watched in amazement as Neville walked to the side of the empty room and practiced his boxing skills over and over again seriously.

Dad also said that Tai Chi should not go out for ten years, whether it is going up Wudang Mountain or down Wudang, or the real Tai Chi popular among the people.

This kind of boxing technique that contains the Yin and Yang Dao takes time to hone.

It is true that there are geniuses who are not born and can understand the power of Tai Chi within a short time of exposure to Tai Chi. But in addition to talent, the most important thing is that all those geniuses have a foundation. They are naturally familiar with the difficult and obscure vocabulary in the Tai Chi Sutra. There is the added bonus of Chinese understanding.

Know what Baoyuan Shouyi is, know what Tai Chi diagram is, and know the combination of virtual and real.

They even have the foundation of internal boxing.

But Neville had none, nothing.

No wonder Master Zhou of Wudang liked Neville so much that he even made an exception and accepted him as a registered disciple.

He is really suitable for Tai Chi.

After looking at Neville who was distracted in the room, Zhang Xiao gently opened the door and walked out.

This gym has been extremely popular since its establishment, especially after Malfoy discovered that after a month of exercise, his body became much stronger, and the power of the spell also increased.

All the little wizards in the club often run here.

Only Zhang Xiao thinks that the style of this Hogwarts is not right?

Cedric is lifting the iron, Malfoy is doing the bench press (Brother Drag has someone to customize a training plan for everyone), and Davis is doing sit-ups.

Even a few little witches such as Qiu Zhang and Hermione were hiding in the girls-only room with yoga balls to practice.

Never mind, never mind, just do whatever you want!

Zhang Xiao sighed and sat aside, watching the little wizard playing happily.

There were other things on his mind.

Tomorrow - it's Hogsmeade weekend!
