Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Harry didn't come to Zhang Xu's dormitory tonight for supper. Originally, they had some new discoveries and wanted to talk to Zhang Xu, but they didn't think it was suitable to discuss this topic tonight.

So after finishing their supper, Harry's trio randomly asked questions about what gifts should be given to Firenze's wedding, and then ran away.

"You scared them all away." Zhang Xu said to Scarlet while eating a delicious apple pie.

"Eat your food, stop talking nonsense." After Scarlet finished speaking, he cut another piece of apple pie with a knife, and stuffed it into Zhang Xu's nostril with a fork.

Zhang Xu used a body transformation technique on himself, turning his mouth into an exaggerated mouth like a character in a funny animation, and took the apple pie that was aimed at his nostrils.

"Your body transformation technique is very good." Scarlet said with some surprise.

"I have something even better, do you want to have a look?" Zhang Xu looked at Scarlet with a funny expression and said.

"Go show it to Professor McGonagall, she will be interested." Scarlet said lightly.

""

After a while, the rest of the apple pie was eaten amid the bickering between the two.

After disposing of the dishes, Scarlet said, "Okay, let's get down to business."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xu asked strangely.

"Dumbledore came back just now, and he decided to purchase a batch of fruits from Muggles to support the centaur tribe, and the task of purchasing these fruits fell to me and Bubaji." Scarlet said, "You Get acquainted with the horse people and see what fruits to buy."

It's not surprising that Dumbledore made such a decision for Zhang Xu, and there are not many opportunities to give charcoal in a timely manner.

After receiving this task, Scarlett and Bubaji attached great importance to it, so even if there were some detailed questions, Scarlett would come to Zhang Xu to clarify.

Zhang Xu recalled the fruits that often appeared in horse people's banquets in the past and said: "The horse people tribe is very conservative. It's good for them to try new fruits, but it's definitely not good to eat them as a meal, so I look for those kinds of fruits. The fruits they often eat will do.”

"Apple is the main type of fruit. They all like to eat apples."

"You can also add some common fruits in the British Isles such as plums, chestnuts and grapes."

"If you want to start a war with the horse people immediately, you can give them durians."

""

Dumbledore decided to support the horsemen with a large amount of fruit, and it would take several containers to fill them up. How to transport them to the Forbidden Forest was a hassle.

So when Scarlet and Bubaji were making plans these days, Scarlet often came to disturb Zhang Xu who was doing exercises.

And this made it impossible for Harry's trio to discuss anything with Zhang Xu.

However, it seemed that Harry was in a hurry. In order to discuss something with Zhang Xu, he did not hesitate to attend the slug party organized by Slughorn to block Zhang Xu.

When Zhang Xu brought a girl from the Snake Academy to the potions professor's office and saw Harry and Ginny appearing together, he was really taken aback.

Harry and Ginny, who participated in the slug party for the first time, were also taken aback by the girls brought by Zhang Xu.

When the girl went to say hello to other students who attended the party, the gossiping Ginny came over and asked, "Why did you bring Lawrence here, Zhang?"

"I picked her up in the corridor, she had nothing to do tonight, so I brought her here." Zhang Xu said lightly, his tone was like picking up a kitten on the side of the road and taking it with him. Same as coffee shop.

"It's really just that." Ginny's face was full of distrust.

"What else do you think?" Zhang Xu was afraid of this little girl who was full of curiosity about gossip news. No wonder she would become a reporter in the future.

"I think there are other stories behind this." Ginny said with bright eyes.

Zhang Xu sighed and said in a low voice, "There is indeed a story behind this."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside Zhang Xu and the others: "Can you share this story with me?"

"Good evening, Professor Slughorn." Zhang Xu and the others hurriedly greeted the visitors.

Slughorn nodded to the three students, looked at the girl in the crowd who was greeting people, and said, "My poor old friend Craford just left, leaving poor little Mully behind."

After Slughorn finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Xu meaningfully. The goblet in his hand was shaking rhythmically round and round, and the red wine inside was like a whirlpool of blood under the candlelight.

Zhang Xu smiled and lowered his head to look at the chubby Slughorn, and said: "The elders went the wrong way, that's the elders' business. I think the younger generation can make achievements beyond the elders after learning the lessons from the elders."

Slughorn and Zhang Xu looked at each other for a while, then sighed and said, "If Clafford and the others had listened to my advice, such a thing would not have happened."

"Then Mully she is now"

Zhang Xu gave Slughorn a reassuring expression, and said, "She won a chance for herself."

"Then I'm relieved." Slughorn breathed a sigh of relief.

Harry on the side listened to the conversation between the two of them as if listening to an Indian speaking English. He seemed to understand it, but after two seconds, he realized that he really didn't understand it just now.

And Ginny nodded thoughtfully. She heard some things from her parents and elder brother, and vaguely knew what they were going to say.

In the next second, Slughorn's face changed into that kind of happy laughter, he took Zhang Xu with one hand, and said to Harry and Ginny at the same time: "Come on, young people, I heard that you are all Quidditch Good players, tonight I will introduce you to Gwenog Jones, he is the captain of the Holyhead Harpies, I believe you will have a lot of common language."

So Slughorn led them into the middle of the office, where a man with a stinking face was sitting at a desk.And Ron, with starry eyes, was sitting next to him and kept talking to him, while he ignored Ron.

Seeing how unbearable her sixth brother was, Ginny thought she should be able to cast the Avada Kedavra at full power by now.

Zhang Xu remembered that Zhang Qiu had mentioned this person to him. He was a famous player on the British Quidditch field.

Just by looking at his expression, you can tell that he is the kind of person whose heart swells and becomes self-centered after receiving a lot of honors and praises.

In fact, it is very simple to deal with this kind of person, as long as your fame and honor are stronger than him.

After chatting for a few words, Zhang Xu found that the other party's attitude was not friendly, so he found an excuse to leave after saying a few more words.

After Zhang Xu left that table, he walked towards the table full of snacks. This was the reason why he promised Slughorn to attend his party.
