Chinese students at Hogwarts

The sun shines on the bustling streets. On one side of the park square, there is an endless stream of people, and various voices are intertwined.

With a confident smile on Zhang Xiao's face, his slender and dexterous fingers slid quickly, and he threw a poker card into the sky, and it immediately started raining poker cards.

"Wow!"

"amazing!"

Pedestrians watching the performance covered their mouths and let out bursts of exclamations.

The foreigners are very good at cheering up and enlivening the atmosphere. Even a simple poker magic trick can make them shout loudly.

Zhang Xiao glanced at the top hat next to him. There was already a lot of money scattered in it. Although 25 cent coins were the most, it was definitely much faster than earning from odd jobs.

Seeing that the income was good, Zhang Xiao smiled even more happily and decided to do something awesome.

"OK - OK, thank you everyone, then I will bring you the magic that I have recently studied!"

After all, he is not a professional magician. It is difficult for Zhang Xiao to control the scene like a magic master when it comes to language preparation and warm-up. Moreover, a real magic performance has many body movements, which can fully attract the audience's attention.

Magic has never just been about changing things, but the magic is so awesome and the effect is really powerful, so the audience can also watch it happily.

After saying a simple sentence, Zhang Xiao rolled up his sleeves like other magicians, spread out his hands, showed to the crowd that there was nothing hidden, and then gently closed his eyes.

First, he clasped his hands together and rubbed them together quickly, as if an invisible flame was ignited in the air.

Then, he slowly stretched out his palm and opened it, and a coin appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The crowd of onlookers made a sound of exclamation. Zhang Xiao smiled softly and threw the coin into the air!

The sun shines on the coin, shining like a small star.

"Pah!" He made a crisp snap of his fingers - [Copy into pairs]

The audience opened their mouths and stared blankly at the sky, as if it was raining coins. The tinkling coins fell into the box in front of them, making a crisp sound.

"How did you do it?"

"marvelous!"

"I want to learn this magic!"

"wow!!!"

"This is not magic, this is magic!" an excited audience member shouted loudly and cursed, causing several Aurors who were hiding aside to watch the fun with gusto to tremble when they heard this.

I almost pulled out my wand and gave everyone present a memory erasing package.

Fortunately, they found that the Muggle was just too excited and didn't really recognize that it was magic.

Similar to these Muggles, the entire Metropolitan Stadium audience also watched Zhang Xiao's performance seriously.

None of his performances were difficult. Many wizards thought they could do it with a wand. Many wizards looked at the cheering Muggles with mysterious smiles on their faces.

I've learned that I can use magic in front of Muggles just by pretending that I'm performing magic!

I'll try it with Muggles when I get back. I wonder if these Muggles will believe it's magic if I fly on a broom?

At this moment, Ludo Bagman suddenly said loudly:

"After receiving an urgent notice from the tournament committee and the International Federation of Wizards, wizards are prohibited from using magic in the name of magic in front of Muggles!

This event is a special place with full supervision by Aurors. It is a special behavior. In normal life, wizards should not imitate it. This may cause you to violate the International Law of Wizarding Secrecy! "

The wizards who were in high spirits just now suddenly became depressed. They lazily leaned on their seats and continued to watch Zhang Xiao's performance.

Zhang Xiao picked up the box full of coins, carried it to a little girl, and motioned for her to grab a handful.

The little girl excitedly picked up the coin and announced loudly:

"Really! It's all true!"

As he spoke, he did not forget to raise his head and ask:

"Is this for me? Can I take it home? Or you can teach me this so dad doesn't have to go to work every day!"

The people around burst into laughter, and Zhang Xiao also smiled and said:

"You can try to grab a handful."

The little girl immediately grabbed a large handful and stuffed them into her pocket.

Zhang Xiao brought the box back, picked up the box and showed it to the people around him, then closed the box and placed it on the small table in front of him.

"Flying has always been the most primitive and instinctive impulse of human beings. We long to conquer the sky, so we created airplanes and all kinds of flying things."

Zhang Xiao seemed to be a master of human success. He spoke slowly and slowly, and he gradually came to his senses. In fact, all he had to do was to arouse people's expectations and create a sense of mystery.

The surrounding audience listened quietly, and many people nodded silently in agreement. Flying is one of the things that humans most want to accomplish, so much so that being able to fly has become the most basic ability of gods in mythology.

Seeing that the audience had successfully followed his train of thought, Zhang Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped it hard;

"Today, I am going to use my magic to make this box fly!"

The audience covered their mouths and exclaimed in exclamation. Zhang Xiao took a few steps back, pretending that he was exerting all his strength, and his fair face turned red because he was holding it back.

In order to make it more realistic, there were even some beads of sweat on the forehead.

At the same time he shouted hoarsely:

"This is something I have mastered only after studying with teachers all over the world for ten years and going through all kinds of hard training."

Then he pointed at the box - [Levitation Curse]!

The box filled with coins trembled slightly, and floated tremblingly amidst the onlookers' looks as if they had seen a ghost and various screams.

Flying higher and higher, just one or two meters above the ground in the blink of an eye.

Everyone stared blankly at the box with their mouths wide open and their heads raised. Some people looked around the edge of the box in disbelief, trying to find evidence of hanging by wires.

It's a pity that this is a square, not to mention there are wires hanging from it, and there aren't even big trees nearby!

Soon the movement here attracted unknown tourists around.

It is human nature to watch the excitement. Under the popularization of other enthusiastic viewers, they joined the ranks of people with their mouths wide open in a daze.

“Holy shit!!”

"unbelievable!"

"How did this guy do it? Is it magic?"

Exclaims, screams and cheers came one after another in the crowd, but the climax of this performance was by no means this. Zhang Xiao's expression suddenly changed and he looked a little panicked.

The audience covered their mouths and watched anxiously as the box flew lower and lower, and finally hit the table with a clang.

The noisy scene suddenly quieted down, and the square that had just been silent suddenly erupted with far more enthusiasm than before.

The old Americans who were the "kings of support" almost went crazy, with thunderous applause mixed with whistles and screams.

"empty!"

"The box is empty, only one coin!"

"What happened? Isn't it a box full of coins?"

"Hell, I obviously saw the box was full of coins."

The little girl who grabbed a handful of coins hurriedly opened her pocket and found it was empty. She cried out.

Zhang Xiao used a perfect curtain call gesture at this time. He picked up the box with a smile, placed it in front of the little girl, and winked at her:

"This time it's true-"

His behavior once again made the onlookers couldn't help but cheer. People are group creatures. When they form a collective emotion, they can easily resonate and do various things that they would not do alone. Things to do.

For example, now, countless coins and banknotes were put into the box in front of Zhang Xiao, and they quickly accumulated as high as a hill.

Zhang Xiaole's eyes narrowed. He saw dozens of banknotes alone, which was like a wave of fat!

In fact, it doesn’t seem too difficult?

"99100!"

Zhang Xiao sat on the steps and put the scattered $100 in another pocket. This was already the 200th dollar he had counted.

It can only be said that this wave of income is indeed not small. The largest banknote is 20 US dollars, and the banknotes alone are close to 200 US dollars. As for coins, they are basically small amounts.

Two types of coins, such as the 'half dollar' and 'one dollar', are rarely circulated in the market. They are basically used as collectibles. The most used coins by people are 25 cents.

So that many coins are only a few dozen dollars.

Zhang Xiao happily pocketed the money. This was America in the 1990s, and the U.S. dollar was quite strong. It seemed that being a street performer was indeed a good source of income.

However, after working for so long, performing, talking, and controlling the atmosphere, it was quite tiring. Zhang Xiao put the money away and felt his empty stomach.

Have a meal!

After looking around, I saw an eye-catching yellow hot dog cart parked quietly on the side of the road not far away. The mottled paint on the body and the slightly old signboard gave off a simple and friendly atmosphere.

Zhang Xiao's eyes lit up, hot dog stand? That's right, we're in the United States, why don't we try authentic American snacks?

As soon as he got closer, a strong aroma hit his nostrils, and Zhang Xiao couldn't help but sniff. It was the unique mixed aroma of grilled sausages and freshly baked bread.

You don’t have to worry about whether bread is delicious or not, but it is absolutely delicious when it’s freshly baked. Zhang Xiao once compared it with instant noodles, both of which are ‘scammers’ in the catering industry.

The stall owner behind the stall was busy preparing the food. His skills were quite skillful. Each sausage was tumbled on the grill and grilled to an attractive golden color.

Zhang Xiao glanced at the blackboard hanging on the dining car:

“Have a classic meal!”

After lining up another five dollars on the only empty counter, the boss agreed. Without raising his head, he sandwiched a piece of Deichen dog sausage between the bread, quickly smeared the special sauce on it, and then Add some fresh lettuce leaves and finely chopped pickles.

It relieves greasiness, enriches the taste, and ends with a handful of finely chopped onions.

Zhang Xiao took it and didn't care about burning his mouth. He blew it casually and took a bite, then exhaled beautifully.

Sure enough, when people are hungry, everything they eat is delicious!

After eating one of them three times, Zhang Xiao paid for another one, and finally left slowly with a box of French fries and a small glass of iced Coke.

These fries are a bit like the fries that were popular in China in later generations. They are larger and have powder sprinkled on them. I don’t know what they are, but it feels good to eat some occasionally.

Not to mention just take a sip with Coke when you feel tired, and you can suppress the greasy feeling immediately.

Just eating and walking in the park, thinking about where to perform next.

Before I knew it, I had reached some secluded alleys on the edge of the park.

Zhang Xiao stopped, with a bulging potato in his mouth, and looked at the several people coming out of the alley with doubtful eyes.

The wizards at the Metropolitan Stadium have begun to laugh. Is this the same script as Neville?

The leader of the white man had a gloomy face. He simply took out a switchblade and said impatiently:

"Hurry up and hand over the money, you disgusting yellow-skinned monkey. I saw it when you were performing like a circus animal just now. Did you charge a lot of money?"

Huh? Robbery?

Zhang Xiao's face also turned cold, and he swallowed what was in his mouth, as if he didn't hear clearly:

"What did you just say? [White-skinned] pig?"

The leading man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that the yellow-skinned monkey in front of him would dare to scold him under such circumstances. He showed a strange smile with a stern look in his eyes.

Without any unnecessary nonsense, the switchblade in his hand suddenly pierced Zhang Xiao's abdomen.

But what’s faster than him is Zhang Xiao’s hand!

The white but strong palm came first, and with just a flick of the hand, it pushed aside the stabbing switchblade.

"Using magic against you trash doesn't make me feel better."

Zhang Xiao gently placed the food in his hand on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner next to him. His boyish-looking face had a coldness that was disproportionate to his age.

"Whoosh!"

His figure turned from stillness to frightening speed. It made the sound of wind just by passing through the air. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of the leading man.

Between the hands intertwined, there was only a clear 'click' sound, followed by a shrill scream.

The man looked at his arm that had been bent at 90 degrees and kept screaming, his eyes filled with madness.

"Kill him! Shoot, kill him!"

But Zhang Xiao's movements became faster and faster. He just turned around and rushed forward. There was really no need for any subtle moves to deal with these gangsters. One punch per person was enough.

By the way, step on him hard when he falls.

After grabbing the last person by the neck and throwing him away like garbage, Zhang Xiao turned around and looked at the pale man in disbelief.

His eyes flickered over the teardrop-shaped tattoo on his arm.

"Are you from a gang?"

The man with a frightened face nodded. He couldn't understand what just happened. It seemed that in just a moment, his own person fell. Was it Kongfu?

But even Bruce Lee couldn't be that fast, right?

Really from a gang?

Zhang Xiao's eyes slowly lit up, and he seemed to have found a way to make money faster.

It's better to rob his mother. Ah, no, you should take the initiative to go to the gang, provoke the other party to attack you, and then be 'forced to fight back' and then 'gain' some 'gadget loot' by the way?

He was happy with his genius idea and grinned:

"Where is your gang?"
