Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

"It is estimated that Professor Dumbledore will have news coming soon, let's wait for a while." Zhang Xu said to Harry.

"Do you know who swapped the Goblet of Fire for a Portkey?" Harry asked suddenly.

"Only the principal can open the box containing the Goblet of Fire." Zhang Xu replied.

"Karkaroff" Harry called out in surprise.

"At present, it seems that only he can do this." Zhang Xu said.

"But today we met Professor Dumbledore in the foyer and went to release the Goblet of Fire together. It should be an accident. He can't guarantee that he will meet me on the way to the maze." Harry quickly discovered something suspicious.

"What would you do if Ron or Cedric were kidnapped and Voldemort asked you to go find him yourself, or if they kidnapped Fleur and I took you to find him?" Zhang Xu asked, "Krum can't take To the Goblet of Fire, for Karkaroff, it was the Imperius Curse before the match."

"Of course I'm going to save them," said Harry immediately.

Then Harry asked weakly again: "If Fleur was kidnapped, wouldn't you knock me out and send me there?"

After speaking, Harry rubbed the place where Zhang Xu had knocked just now.

"Perhaps." Zhang Xu shrugged and continued, "I speculate that Karkaroff was well prepared for everything from the very beginning. Meeting you in the hall just saved him a lot of trouble. He was the one who first suggested that you put the Goblet of Fire on the shelf. Portkeys can be used to set activation conditions. For example, last year you and the Weasleys and Cedric went to the Quidditch World Cup Stadium through the Portkey. It will only be activated when there are enough people. Otherwise, when the staff of the Ministry of Magic hand you the Portkey, he will have to fly away first. It is not difficult to set an activation condition for the Portkey that is conditional on the age of the person in contact. It's like the cordon that Professor Dumbledore set up around the Goblet of Fire when he signed up. Otherwise, it would be fun if Professor Dumbledore was teleported to Voldemort when he put the Goblet of Fire on the shelf."

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he felt his mouth was dry, so he picked up the teacup and drank a cup of tea.

Harry, on the other hand, was digesting the experience of the day.What happened today had a huge impact on him, beyond the sum of the past ten years.

Cheers from the audience came from outside the window from time to time, which constantly aroused Zhang Xu's curiosity. He really wanted to know how Furong was doing in the maze.

But Zhang Xu has to stare at Harry here now.

For Harry now, the headmaster's office was the safest place.Only Zhang Xu, Harry and Dumbledore can enter the principal's office where the password has just been changed.

Moreover, Zhang Xu was also afraid that Karkaroff would leave something behind. If Harry later picked up the cake sent by the house elf and disappeared with a "biu", then Zhang Xu would have to find a place Squat down and cry.

Zhang Xu, who is now cautious, even ordered Dobby to prepare the food himself before sending it over.

After pondering for a while, Harry said to Zhang Xu, "Next, a new war will begin."

"That's right." Zhang Xu said, "The next battle will be more intense and cruel than before."

"In the future, everyone may die in battle. You, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, Fred, George, Black, Lupine, and even Professor Dumbledore, no one can guarantee that they can survive this war."

Every time Zhang Xu said a name, Harry's

His face became paler.

"If you think you need it in the future, you can go to our embassy in the UK for help. We can arrange for you and your family and friends to take refuge in our country. It is impossible for Voldemort to chase there."

"If you lose your land, you will lose your land. If you lose your land, you will save your land. As long as people are alive, there is hope for everything. If people die, there will be nothing left."

"That's why I'm at Hogwarts."

At this moment, Zhang Xu told Harry the first and most important agreement between him and Dumbledore.

After hearing this, Harry looked at Zhang Xu dumbfounded, he had never thought about this aspect.

"open"

Harry was about to say something when he was interrupted by Zhang Xu.

"There are some things I didn't want to tell you so early, but now that Voldemort has recovered, the situation has changed, so I told you in advance."

"Professor Dumbledore invited me to study abroad at Hogwarts, just to let me be your last insurance. Otherwise, why not sooner or later, just when you came to Hogwarts, I came to study abroad, And after I came, no one else came."

"And do you resent Professor Dumbledore?" Harry asked, "He dragged you into the war with Voldemort."

Zhang Xu smiled and waved his hands, and said, "Wealth and wealth are sought in danger. For some people, the battlefield is the best shopping mall. It just so happens that I am such a person. You can also see that I have made a lot of money in the past few years." Less money."

"Besides, if I hadn't been able to come to Hogwarts, how could I have the opportunity to know Fleur?"

"What a man pursues is nothing more than money and beautiful women. To put it mildly, it is career and love. Now I have both at Hogwarts."

"So it's too late for me to thank Professor Dumbledore, why would I resent him?"

What Zhang Xu said just now was spoken to Harry through sound transmission, only the last sentence was spoken normally.

The portraits of previous principals in the principal's office are all alive, and there are some things that Zhang Xu doesn't want them to hear.

"It's fine for you to know these things yourself, and you don't need to tell others. The fewer people who know about such things, the better." Zhang Xu finally urged.

Harry nodded, indicating that he would not talk about it.

Harry suddenly remembered something and asked, "Will you sink Malfoy into the lake?"

"Not yet." Zhang Xu replied, "We'll see the situation later."

At this moment, the sky outside the window began to gradually darken, but the cheers from the audience from the other side of the stadium were still so loud.

According to the estimated time for the warriors to pass through the maze when Zhang Xu and other professors built the maze, the warriors should be very close to the finish line now, and the final victory may be decided at any time in the following time.

Who can win the final championship, now Zhang Xu doesn't care anymore.Whether it is Fleur or Cedric, this is not the point.He didn't force Furong to win the final championship anymore, as long as Furong didn't get too seriously injured in the maze, he would be satisfied.

Zhang Xu looked at the time, and it was already time for dinner.

Just when Zhang Xu was about to ask Dobby to deliver the dinner later, Dumbledore returned to the principal's office.
