Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Walking out of Professor McGonagall's office, Zhang Xu said to Harry and George at the fork in the road leading to the common room and the hall of the Lion Court respectively: "You two go back to the dormitory and change your clothes first, it's cold outside, wear more. Meet in the foyer in half an hour."

Now Harry and George are still wearing uniforms.

Then Zhang Xu looked at the redheads at the back again, and said to them, "If you are free, you can come and help. Harry and George won't have to suffer so much if you finish the work earlier."

After speaking, Zhang Xu walked towards the hall.

Just now Zhang Xu heard from Ginny that they went to find Percy as soon as the game was over, and Percy couldn't stay out of this matter whether it was public or private.

And then the incident gave Percy an excuse to push through the latest education order.

In the office just now, Percy punished Malfoy harder in the name of personal enmity. This was a signal he sent to Professor McGonagall that although he had the right, he would not favor certain students.

After all, the old horse is a well-rounded figure in the Ministry of Magic, and it is most normal for Percy, who represents the Ministry of Magic, to favor the pony.

Now that the pony is being killed by Percy as a chicken to scare the monkeys, he can already show his fair and just position.

Zhang Xu waited in the foyer for a while, and saw a group of people coming down the stairs.

After Zhang Xu said that others could help, Fred would definitely help George, Ron and Hermione would definitely help Harry, and Ginny would naturally follow.

Seeing that a group of people had changed into robes and cloaks, and everyone was tightly wrapped, Zhang Xu nodded and led them out of the castle.

"I received help from the horse people this morning. There is a huge threat in the Forbidden Forest." Zhang Xu said while leading a group of people to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, "I reported this problem to Professor Dumbledore , but Professor Dumbledore is not available recently, so he authorized me to take full charge of this matter."

"And I think you guys are the best people to deal with this, so go for it."

After hearing this, Harry and the others looked at each other in dismay. According to Zhang Xu's words, they seemed to be going to solve a dangerous problem in the Forbidden Forest.

When several people were wondering if they were going to fight magical animals like the basilisk and eight-eyed spider later, Zhang Xu brought them to Hagrid's hut.

At this moment a puff of white smoke rose from the chimney of the hut, and lights shone from the windows.

"Hagrid's back," Harry exclaimed in surprise.

"You go and say hello to Professor Hagrid first, and I'll be back in 10 minutes." Zhang Xu said to Harry and the others.

The Harry trio, the twin brothers and Ginny have a good relationship with Hagrid, while the relationship between Zhang Xu and Hagrid has not improved.

Watching Harry and the others happily knock on the door, Zhang Xu walked towards the greenhouse not far away.

Twenty minutes later, Zhang Xu, who was chewing non-stop with a mandrake root in his hand, came to Hagrid's hut.

After swallowing the last mouthful of mandrake roots, Zhang Xu who was in front of the wooden door now heard Hermione's voice coming from the room.

"Don't worry, Hagrid. Percy is fair at work, and as long as you do well in class, you'll pass."

After hearing Hermione's words, Zhang Xu couldn't help complaining in his heart that Hagrid's standard of "behaving well" was different from that of ordinary people.

After knocking, Hagrid opened the wooden door of the hut.

After greeting Hagrid carelessly, Zhang Xu sat in the seat vacated by Ginny and the others opposite Hagrid.

"Professor Hagrid, Harry and George will be confined for the next time to relieve the dangers that have just appeared in the Forbidden Forest. I think they need your help." Zhang Xu said to Hagrid.

"No." Hagrid stood up excitedly and said, "he's not dangerous at all, he's just a little ignorant, and I'll educate him well."

Although Hagrid made a promise under oath, looking at the wound on his face, Zhang Xu felt that his promise was not convincing at all.

"He almost killed my friend McTosh last night." Zhang Xu said, "Just half an inch away, McTosh's head was smashed into a meat paste by a tree as thick as Harry."

"And the place where he is now has been the site of the horse people since ancient times. He almost killed other people's patrol members on the site of other people's homes. Are you two brothers going to start a war with the horse people?"

"What happened last night was just an accident," said Hagrid loudly, "and I'll make a good apology to the centaurs."

"He just came to the UK and he hasn't quite adapted to the environment and climate here, so that's why he is like this."

"And he has nowhere else to go."

Harry and the others who didn't know what was going on looked at each other again. The conversation between Zhang Xu and Hagrid just now contained a lot of information, and the key point was what Zhang Xu said about Hagrid and his two brothers.They hadn't known for years that Hagrid had a brother.

This incident was also caused by the changes caused by Zhang Xu's arrival.

Hagrid's pet eight-eyed spider occupied a large area of ​​the Forbidden Forest before the centaur.

If the eight-eyed spider is still there, then it is no problem for Hagrid to arrange his half-brother at the junction of the eight-eyed spider's territory and the centaur's territory. Neither the eight-eyed spider nor the centaur will provoke the little giant in the middle .

On the one hand, everyone gave Hagrid a face. On the other hand, if the little giant is eliminated by force, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Then the balance of power between the two parties will definitely be broken, and the other party will be able to take advantage of it.

But now the eight-eyed spider had been taken care of by Zhang Xu long ago, and the centaur had regained their homeland in the past few years, so Hagrid could only place his younger brother on the centaur's territory.

Originally, for Hagrid's sake, he greeted them at the centaur's place. The centaur didn't mind having his brother live there, and he wouldn't go near that place.

But last night, before Hagrid, who had just returned, brought people into the Forbidden Forest and settled down, his younger brother Grop went berserk, uprooted the surrounding trees and threw them everywhere.

And McTosh, who just became an adult, joined the patrol team after he became an adult, and he happened to be on the night shift last night.When he and his teammates found a big movement in the Forbidden Forest and went to investigate, a tree flew over from the sky, and the trunk almost hit McTosh's head.Although Maitosh's life was saved, he was still injured by the tree branch.

Now the horse people were not happy, and immediately called for someone to come over to find the place.

Fortunately, Hagrid came forward in time and explained the current situation, so the centaurs could only retreat first.

Previously, Zhang Xu left a communicator for Metosh, so that they could contact him after they harvested some treasures.

As a result, Zhang Xu received a message this morning asking Zhang Xu to tell Dumbledore about Glop and let Dumbledore resolve the matter.

Later, Dumbledore handed over the matter to Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu kicked the ball to Harry and the others.

Zhang Xu didn't believe that Harry and the others wouldn't help Hagrid.

"Your brother" Harry asked Hagrid.

"Yes, his name is Glop," replied Hagrid, "my half-brother, and my mother left my father when I was born, and found another giant, and she begot Glop there." Loop."

"Glop," Ron asked.

"Yeah, that's what it sounds like when he says his name," said Hagrid. "He can't speak a few words of English, and I'm trying to teach him. My mother doesn't like me anyway." Like him. Because the giantess thinks it is good to have big healthy children, and he has always been a short man among giants, only sixteen feet high."

Everyone present here has a black line, and the common sense of the giant's appearance is too different from the common sense of ordinary people.

After Hagrid introduced what happened to his younger brother, several people looked at Zhang Xu together.

"Harry, George, your mission is to resolve the conflict between Hagrid's younger brother and the centaurs." Zhang Xu looked at Harry and the others and said, "Whether it's to educate Hagrid's younger brother to be a good baby, give him It's fine to find a place to live that neither side accepts, I don't care what method you use, I just want the result."

Hearing that Zhang Xu didn't intend to drive away Glop, Harry and the others were all relieved.

They all thought that this task was not too difficult for them, and that it was to help Hagrid and they had nothing to say, so they agreed without hesitation.

Zhang Xu, who successfully kicked the ball away, also heaved a sigh of relief.

Next, Harry and the others followed Hagrid to the Forbidden Forest to get to know Grapp first.

Zhang Xu, on the other hand, took a basket of freshly picked fresh meat from the greenhouse to the Centaur Tribe to visit Maitosh.

The horse people usually use fresh herbs to treat trauma, and they will not use magic medicine unless they have to.

The fresh white fresh juice is very effective in treating trauma, and if used in time, it will not leave scars. The horses also often use this herb.

It's just that the natural conditions in the Forbidden Forest are not suitable for the growth of Baixian. In the past, the centaur would ask Hogwarts for this herb through Hagrid when they needed it.

The injuries on Mattosh's body are all traumatic, and the bones and internal organs are basically fine.

After Zhang Xu sent the baklava to McTosh’s home, McTosh’s younger sister, Jia Er, under the guidance of her grandma, Granny Smith, mixed the baklava with several other herbs and then mashed it.Lili applied the prepared herbal medicine to Metosh's wound, and then wrapped it with linen cloth.

It is estimated that the herbal medicine added later contained irritating ingredients, and the face of Maitosh who applied the herbal medicine was not good-looking.

At the same time, Zhang Xu reported to Granny Smith about the solution to the Glop matter.

Now the Elder Centaur is getting worse and worse, and he can only work for half a day in the morning every day.

The horse people also know that their elders are dying, and the registration and selection of the next elder has already started.

So Zhang Xu can only report this matter to Granny Smith, and ask her to report it to the centaur elder tomorrow morning.

Zhang Xu didn't stay for dinner in the centaur tribe, so Zhang Xu returned to Hogwarts Castle before the meal time.
