Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

On Saturday morning, thick dark clouds blocked the sun, and Hogsmeade was surrounded by snow.

The snow up to the calf did not stop the Hogwarts students from going to Hogsmeade enthusiastically.

In the white snow, a group of students in black robes were struggling forward, looking like ants marching from the air.

Zhang Xu imitated Ron and cast a floating spell on himself, and played Treading Xue Wuhen on the snow, so he didn't have to walk with his shoes and trousers wet like everyone else.

After casting the Levitation Charm on himself, Zhang Xu inserted a wind shelter card into the new robe on his body, avoiding the fate of being blown to the branches by the strong wind like Ron.

When passing by the big tree where Ron was hanging, Zhang Xu quietly took out his wand and released a few sharp blades without shadows, breaking the branch where Ron was hanging.

Under the effect of gravity, the branch hit Hermione, who was scolding him under the tree, and Ron hit Harry on the head.

Regardless of this episode, Zhang Xu came to the Honeydukes candy store to replenish the candies in the treasure bag.

After leaving the candy store under the enthusiastic eyes of the candy store owner, Zhang Xu came to the Three Broomsticks Bar to pass the time.

As soon as he entered the bar, Zhang Xu saw Professor McGonagall shaking hands with a middle-aged lady in her 30s.

Zhang Xu looked at the lady. She had long blonde hair, and a pair of sea-blue eyes behind half-rimmed glasses with red frames.She was wearing a white gown with a gold trimmed waistcoat the same ocean blue as her eyes.

This lady looked elegant and dignified, and Zhang Xu felt that she gave him a different feeling from the witches he usually saw.

And at her feet lay a tabby cat and a black and white cat.

When the lady walked out of the bar and passed by Zhang Xu, she turned her head and smiled at Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu was quite moved by her mature and charming smile, and then he smiled and nodded slightly.

Zhang Xu came to the desk of Professor McGonagall who sat down again, and sat down on the chair that the lady just sat on.

After ordering a glass of absinthe, Zhang Xu asked Professor McGonagall, "Professor McGonagall, I don't think you've seen that lady in Hogsmeade just now."

"You will see her often in the future." Professor McGonagall replied, "Ms. Hood moved to Canada with her family in the early years, and only returned to the UK this year. She rented my house in Hogsmeade and is going to open a shop." .”

When Professor McGonagall and Elphinstone Ercott married 13 years ago, they bought a house in Hogsmeade.

Only after Elphinstone Elcott died unexpectedly ten years ago, Professor McGonagall moved back to live in Hogwarts Castle, and the house was sometimes rented out and sometimes vacant.

When Zhang Xu established his stronghold in Hogsmeade, he knew about the real estate situation in Hogsmeade, but Professor McGonagall's house was too close to the main road, so Zhang Xu didn't rent her house.

Zhang Xu asked curiously again: "What kind of store is she going to open?"

"She said she wanted to open a board game." Professor McGonagall said, "According to her, it is a cafe for you young people to play games and relax together."

Zhang Xu nodded thoughtfully. There are many board games for wizards. There are several board games such as wizard chess and backgammon. Opening a board game seems to be a good choice.

It's just that Zhang Xu felt that Ms. Hood gave him a very strange feeling just now, but he couldn't explain the strangeness for a while.

"Why, do you like Ms. Hood?" Professor McGonagall looked at Zhang Xu who was in deep thought and asked, "I remember you like ladies older than you."

Zhang Xu with black hair immediately changed the subject and said, "Professor McGonagall, what do you think of Hagrid's matter?"

Professor McGonagall took a sip of the wine in front of him, sighed, and said: "This is the case, there is no other way. Fortunately, there is no unparalleled path. If Hagrid chooses to change himself, he can still become a professor again. of."

"Shall Hagrid study with Professor Graplan for a while?" Zhang Xu asked.

Professor McGonagall nodded and said, "Dumbledore is going to let Hagrid serve as an acting professor, and he will study with Professor Graplan and other professors for a period of time."

In fact, the professors didn’t agree with Hagrid’s approach in the classroom for the past two years. Everyone’s teaching methods were simple and progressive, and only Hagrid was the one who was aggressive at the beginning.

Hippogriffs are graded by the Ministry of Magic and are magical animals that capable wizards can deal with. It can only be said that Malfoy is lucky to let a group of students who have just entered the third grade come into contact with them.

Not to mention the fried-tailed snail, a magical animal that is a cross between a super manticore and a super fire crab.

Blast-tailed snails are estimated to be a level. The Ministry of Magic’s assessment of this level of magical animals is "dangerous and requires specialized knowledge and skilled wizards to deal with them." Moreover, the habits of blond-tailed snails are unknown. Let 14-year-old students deal with this animal But nothing major happened, so I can only say that Hogwarts is well-feng shui.

While chatting with the professors in the faculty lounge, Zhang Xu complained about which level of magical beasts Hagrid thought students of which grade should learn.

It's just that Hagrid's background is too hard, McGonagall taught

At the beginning, the professor had reported this problem to Dumbledore once, but Dumbledore made it a small matter, and made it a small matter.

Later, the arrival of Professor Graplan, who was a substitute teacher, made other professors see the best candidate to replace Hagrid.

In this year's professor review, Professor Graplan also got very good grades.

In Zhang Xu's eyes, Professor Graplan is very Buddhist.She didn't mean to take the initiative to compete with Hagrid for the seat. In her eyes, the position of the professor is just a matter of chance. Lao Deng would come over when he needed her to sit in this position, and leave with a pipe in his mouth when he didn't need it. He came and went. Go, the wind is light and the clouds are calm, neither happy nor sad.

Now that Hagrid has been dismissed, the professors don't know whether to be happy or sad.

The good news is that everyone has a reliable colleague, and the students can receive a better education. The sad thing is that Hagrid was taken away by Percy, and everyone is inevitably a little bit sad.

"Learning from other professors" Zhang Xu immediately noticed this.

"That's right," Professor McGonagall replied, "Professor Dumbledore believes that Hagrid should study hard to be a qualified professor."

It really is a confidant, Zhang Xu complained in his heart.

"Although Professor Dumbledore's decision is a few years late, it's better late than never." Zhang Xu said, "Look at our classroom, we need to add a big chair."

"I'm afraid Professor Snape and Professor Weasley won't have to worry about how to fit such a large chair in their classroom."

"I think Professor Weasley should be worried," said Professor McGonagall.

"Oh why"

Zhang Xu was a little surprised. Professor McGonagall probably wasn't the kind of person who borrowed a knife to kill people. Her intention was definitely not to let Hagrid beat Percy up in class.

"Percy's lectures are actually very good," said Professor McGonagall. "It would be even better if he could let the students wave their wands in class."

Professor McGonagall was right. Percy was able to lecture for a full class without giving students a chance to speak, and he didn't cause strong dissatisfaction among the students. It shows that he still has a good grasp of theories and knowledge points. first hand.

It's just that Zhang Xu has no idea how much Hagrid can learn from the professors.

On the one hand, Hagrid is a few dozen years old, and his thinking is stable. On the other hand, he has not received long-term systematic education, which makes his study less effective.

The most important thing is whether Hagrid has the determination to study.As long as he is determined, even if he is slow, he can get things done.If he is not determined, it is useless to say more.

Dumbledore was also worried about Hagrid, and he tossed and tossed about Hagrid's re-employment training plan for a long time.

This plan should not be long after Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall reached a consensus, so currently only Professor McGonagall knows the content.

At this moment, Harry himself came into the bar.

As soon as Harry saw Professor McGonagall and Zhang Xu, he immediately walked over.

Harry sat down and asked Professor McGonagall: "Is Hagrid really going to be fired, Professor McGonagall?"

"Do you think Hagrid is really a qualified professor, Potter?" Professor McGonagall asked back.

Harry bowed his head and said nothing.

"Everyone saw Hagrid's mistakes when he was a professor." At this moment Zhang Xu said, "It's a naive dream not to make mistakes. It's a human principle to make as few mistakes as possible. Mistakes are like the attraction of the center of the earth." Everything in this world is bound to make mistakes."

"You don't think Hagrid's mistake is serious, but a big mistake is like a thick rope. It is composed of many small parts. It doesn't matter if you look at it separately, but many small mistakes combined will form a big mistake."

"Lenin said, don't be afraid to admit your mistakes, don't be afraid to correct them again and again, and then we will reach the top of the mountain."

"As Hagrid's friend, what you have to do is not to cover up his mistakes, but to help him correct them."

"Hagrid's dismissal this time is a bad thing for him, but it is also a good thing, because he can calm down and reflect, and then learn how to be a qualified professor with Professor Graplan and other professors."

Zhang Xu has found a way to deal with a brat like Harry in the past few years.

First use a lot of big reasons to smash Harry into a daze, make him lose his ability to think, and then tell him what to do.

At this time, as long as Hermione didn't run out to object, as long as Harry and Snape weren't allowed to cooperate, Harry basically fell into the pit and couldn't climb out.

"So there's a chance Hagrid could come back again," Harry asked.

"Yes." Professor McGonagall replied, "As long as Hagrid can meet the standards of being a qualified professor, he can still return to class."

After chatting for a few more words that made Harry dizzy, Harry happily went to find Hagrid, which was good news for himself and Hagrid.

"Then it's up to Hagrid himself." Zhang Xu said to Professor McGonagall after taking a sip of his wine.

Professor McGonagall nodded.

Percy's move was aboveboard, and everything was done on the bright side, so Professor McGonagall didn't have much to object to.

After chatting with Professor McGonagall for a few more words, Zhang Xu left the bar and began to stroll around the village.
