Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

The second game ended smoothly.

Ron performed very well today. The Weasley twins taught Ron how to make dolphin biscuits. The dolphin biscuits Ron ate today were all made by himself, so there is no problem with the rules.He got rid of the chase of the big squid in the lake, and he was the first to find Ginny, and the first to bring her out of the water, so he got the highest score in the game.

Fleur and Cedric also performed very well, but Cedric was faster than Fleur, and in the end he scored a little higher than Fleur.

Krum's brute-force puzzle solving got him just one score lower than Fleur's.

After two games, Ron took the lead in scoring by a slight margin, Cedric and Fleur tied for second, and Krum was at the bottom.

After the game, the students and spectators once again ushered in an open-air bbq banquet.

Zhang Xu walked around the venue and found that there were no acquaintances today, so he returned to his stove and began to enjoy tonight's banquet.

Different from other barbecue stoves, Scarlet put a mandarin duck pot on the stove today, and on the side plate was a full plate of fat beef rolls, beef veal and other hot vegetables.

When Zhang Xu came back after walking around, the soup in the pot just boiled.

Scarlet cast a banishing spell on their table so that no one else would disturb the three of them.

Fleur and Gabriel went to celebrate with Beauxbaton's classmates. Now besides Zhang Xu and Scarlet, there was Tonya who couldn't stand the "I understand" expressions on the faces of the classmates.

Unlike other elated crowds, the atmosphere at Zhang Xu's table was somewhat gloomy.

The low air pressure came from Tonya, she felt that she had lost face today.

Not only was it regarded as Krum's treasure, but it was also carried out of the water with a chair in the end. If Gabriel hadn't been worried about going underwater alone, Tonya would not have agreed to the request of the principals.

"That's the way it is, so don't be sad. Fortunately, there is no end to the road." Scarlet comforted Tonya after scooping up a few meatballs.

"You just have to resolutely reject him. Don't be indecisive and make him think he still has a chance." Scarlett continued, "Just let him stop thinking about him and stop calling him for a while. That's the end of the matter. The result of this match is a good opportunity to reject him."

Zhang Xu was eating what was in the bowl and picking what was in the pot, not interfering in the conversation between the two of them.

Zhang Xu thought while eating, and realized that this time Krum was very unlucky. He was at the bottom of the competition twice, and the final trophy was probably out of the question. He wanted to chase a girl, but she was not interested in him.

If Krum was younger, he could have yelled "Don't bully the young and poor", and then find a cliff and jump off.

In the end, it was Zhang Xu who carried the drunk Dongia back to Scarlet's dormitory.

When Zhang Xu put Dongia on Scarlet's sofa, Scarlet said to him, "Do you want me to leave for a while, so that you have a chance?"

Zhang Xu didn't answer her words, stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, and said, "I'm retreating, don't disturb you, you two have been together for a hundred years, in fact, it's not bad for you to marry a wife for the rest of your life."

Two seconds later, Zhang Xufei walked out of the dormitory door and "slapped" on the corridor opposite the door.

When Zhang Xu rubbed his nose and walked down the stairs, he met Snape whose face was a little colder than before.

"Good evening, Professor Snape." Zhang Xu greeted.

Snape didn't reply, just stared at Zhang Xu the way a policeman looks at a thief.

"Since the beginning of last year, the skin of the woodsnake has been stolen from my office 26 times. Do you have any idea?" Snape asked.

There was a clue, but it was hard to tell Snapmin.

Zhang Xu shook his head and said, "No, if I need it, I'll ask you directly. I haven't heard of anyone who needs to use it to secretly prepare potions recently. The Weasley brothers and the others all need it from the opposite corner. Alley mail order."

Snape stared at Zhang Xu for a long time before nodding his head. He knew that if Zhang Xu needed materials to refine potions, he would ask him directly.

Snape nodded, and when he was about to leave, Zhang Xu stopped him.

"Professor Snape, I have a way to find the thief." Zhang Xu said.

"In what way?" Snape asked.

Zhang Xu reached out his hand to dig out the treasure bag, and then took out a small bottle of white powder, and handed it to Snape.

"This bottle of potion is colorless, odorless, soluble in water, and it will not react with other potions, nor will it change the properties of other potions." Zhang Xu introduced, "As long as the African tree snake used as bait Sprinkle some on the skin, and when the thief steals it, make it into a potion and take it, and the thief who eats it will be exposed."

"What will happen if you eat it?" Snape took the medicine bottle and asked while staring at the medicine in the bottle.

"Why don't you try it yourself?" Zhang Xu said with a smile, "Anyway, taking a small amount won't kill anyone. After it works, it will only make people lie down for a day or two at most."

"Thank you." Snape didn't intend to try it, put the medicine in his pocket, thanked him and left.

After Zhang Xu returned to the dormitory, he went to the balcony, sat on the rattan chair, and took out the Marauder's Map to study.

Barty Crouch Jr. should have gone to Snape's office to steal the African tree snake skin during the open-air dinner today.

At this moment, the Marauder's map shows that he is staying motionless in his office, and he should be refining Polyjuice Potion.

Putting down the Marauder's map, Zhang Xu decided to start collecting the net.

He cheated Barty Crouch Jr. once before and didn't let Harry Potter become a warrior. Since then, Zhang Xu has been preparing to see what he has behind him.

As a result, after waiting for four months, Barty Crouch Jr. has not made any special movement.

Apart from frequent stealing from Snape's office, he was like a normal professor, giving lessons to students every day and then correcting homework.

Every Saturday night, like Lupine, he went to the Room of Requirement to give instructions to the students.

Although he didn't know what preparations he had made, or if he didn't do anything, Zhang Xu decided to solve this hidden danger first, and then wait with Veritaserum Potion.

The impact of getting rid of Barty Crouch Jr. is naturally the exposure of the two-hole socket man who lives in his house now.

It doesn't matter if Voldemort is exposed, asking Dumbledore to deal with him in advance may have a miraculous effect, and it may not be possible for Voldemort to be fully resurrected by then.

At that time, Barty Crouch was kept, and he was not afraid that Minister of Magic Fudge would cover his head.

Fudge dared to kill Barty Crouch Jr. to silence him, but he definitely didn't dare to attack the old one, the impact would be too bad.

In this way, Fudge will have to admit that Voldemort has returned, and he will not be in the mood to send someone to Hogwarts to seize power by then.

For the good school life in the next school year, Zhang Xu didn't want Umbridge to come to Hogwarts to make trouble.

Although the wheel of history fell into the ditch twice in three days, its inertia still had a great effect, so Zhang Xu had to make several preparations to avoid being caught off guard.

If Umbridge really wanted to come next school year, there would only be two places for her, either the vacant Defense Against the Dark Arts class, or the Muggle Studies class that Zhang Xu would substitute for.

For Zhang Xu, the position of acting professor is still very useful, and he doesn't want to lose this position before graduation.
