Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 394 The Best Way to Solve Problems Is to Leave the Problems to Others

; ̄д ̄oo;

After Dumbledore raised his head from the Pensieve, he sat behind his desk and stared blankly for half an hour.

He couldn't help having a headache now, and even his balls, which he hadn't used for many years, felt pain.

At this moment, he even wanted to cast a forgetting spell on himself and Zhang Xu, so that everyone could forget about this matter together, so that he would not have to worry about it.

If I had known earlier, I would have pretended not to be in the office just now and not let Zhang Xu in.

It's a pity that neither the wizarding world nor the Muggle society regretted selling the medicine, otherwise he would definitely buy several catties at a time and eat it.

Dumbledore's pet phoenix looked at the two people in a daze, not knowing what they were doing, so he lowered his head to fix the nails on his paws.

Also confused were the past principals in the oil paintings on the wall. At the moment they were quietly pretending to be ordinary oil paintings, but they all followed Dumbledore's every move in unison.

In the principal's office, against the background of the beeping sound of the magical items on the shelves and in the cabinet, the whole office was immersed in an eerie silence.

In the end, it was Dumbledore who broke the silence. He said, "Zhang, what are you going to do with this matter?"

Zhang Xu, who was sitting across from Dumbledore's desk, was still in a state of bewilderment at the moment, although he had thought of what would happen when he got on the Hogwarts Sturt train for the first time and met his first classmate six years ago. This matter, but he never imagined that this matter would eventually fall on his own head.

After hearing Dumbledore's question, Zhang Xu straightened his face and said seriously: "For this matter, my approach is to hand it over to the principal to solve it."

 ̄Д ̄ ̄Д ̄

For the first time in so many years, Zhang Xu saw Dumbledore shaking his head so vigorously, and his long beard trembled accordingly.

Then Lao Deng said: "He entrusted you to solve this problem because he trusted you, so you should solve it."

"No, no, no." Zhang Xu shook his head while waving his hands, "In Europe, your reputation is much better than mine, and your wisdom and contacts are beyond my reach, so I'll let you settle this matter. "

The past principals on the wall in the principal's office just watched the two people, the old and the young, playing ping-pong in order to push something away.It's just that these principals are very puzzled, what is this troublesome matter brought by Zhang Xu, even Dumbledore finds it so troublesome.It's just that the two parties present didn't say a word about the content of this matter, and all communication was resolved by the Pensieve.

This matter is too sensitive, and Zhang Xu has to treat it with such caution. If one is not handled properly, it will cause a devastating blow to the cooperation between him and Dumbledore.So Zhang Xu didn't explain the matter to Dumbledore in words, but directly let him watch a "movie" that happened in a coffee shop by the Thames.

After watching the "movie", Dumbledore was no less shocked than Zhang Xu, one of the protagonists, because what happened in it was beyond his expectation for so many years.

The two argued with each other for more than half an hour, and found that the other party did not show any signs of letting go, so they simply put this matter on hold, and there is still a lot of time to solve it in the future.

Zhang Xu withdrew his memory and left the principal's office, deciding not to think about it until the end of the college entrance examination.

Today was the day when Hogwarts students returned to school after their holidays, but most of them were sharing their holiday stories with their classmates in the common room of their colleges, and there was almost no one in the corridors.

Of course, Peeves who was trapping a piece of armor standing in the hallway was not a human being.

In the empty hallway, the trapped Peeves danced and danced, and then waited for Filch to be startled by the falling armor as he passed by.

Just then, Peeves heard a voice that frightened him.

"Peves, are you going to patrol the secret passage today?"

Peeves immediately rushed to Zhang Xu who was at the other end of the corridor, saluted Zhang Xu and said, "I'll go right away, Mr. Zhang."

Now Dumbledore and Zhang Xu have set up many traps in the secret passages that enter Hogwarts, waiting for the Death Eaters to step in again, but usually checking those secret passages has become a big problem.

&

nbsp;So Zhang Xu asked Peeves to check the traps in the secret passages every night on the condition that he allowed Peeves to play pranks at will as before.

After Peeves left, Zhang Xu didn't care about the armor he had tampered with in the corridor, and turned around to leave.

At this time, Zhang Xu heard a girl humming a song from the stairs, and from the singing, she could tell that the girl was quite happy.

More than half an hour later, Zhang Xu and Scarlet, who were about to fight, were called by Dumbledore to the school infirmary.

They were both startled to see Hermione lying unconscious on the bed.

"What happened to Granger?" Scarlet asked.

Professor McGonagall said anxiously: "Just now Filch heard a loud noise in the corridor, and when he rushed over, he found Miss Granger unconscious in the corridor."

"Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley said she left the common room to see Ms. Scarlett."

"Actually, you can also call me Miss." Someone whispered.

"Just now Dumbledore asked about the portrait near that corridor. Mr. Zhang should have been the only one who passed that corridor before that."

"So do you have any clues?"

Scarlet looked at the paper bag on the bedside table of the hospital bed, and said, "I made an agreement with Granger, let her come to me to pick up some materials after school starts."

Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore glanced at each other. They had already read the paper bag full of math papers just now. Thinking about Hermione's habit of often asking professors for extra tutoring, this was right.

Then the principal and vice principal looked at Zhang Xu, who might have been there at the time, and saw that he was frowning at the moment, with a splitting headache.

"Do you know something, Zhang?" Dumbledore asked, frowning.

Zhang Xu nodded, pulled out his wand and called Peeves.

A few minutes later, Peeves appeared in the ward, and he said to Dumbledore, "After my inspection, everything underground is normal."

Zhang Xu ignored his inspection report and said to him, "Peeves, tell me what happened before you went underground for inspection."

Peeves had already seen Hermione lying on the hospital bed at this time, and then looked at the battle in front of him, knowing that he had caused trouble.

Peeves yelled, "I just want that armor to hit Filch," and sprinted across the wall.

"But she has signs of being hit by the Stunning Curse." Madam Pomfrey, who had been standing beside Hermione's hospital bed, said.

"It may be that the curse on those armors rebounded." Zhang Xu said with a wry smile.

"What's that?" Madam Pomfrey asked.

At this time, Dumbledore explained to her: "The armor in the castle has recently been upgraded. One of the functions is that it can rebound the curse that hits it, and it also has a function that it will automatically return to its original shape after falling to the ground. .”

Then Dumbledore looked around at the people present, and said after heaving a sigh of relief: "It seems that what happened is that when Miss Granger passed by the armor, the armor manipulated by Peeves fell towards her. "

"Then Miss Granger, who didn't have time to see clearly that it was the armor that was falling towards her, thought she was being attacked, and then cast a stun spell on the armor with her wand, only to be hit by the spell that bounced back."

"We only have to look at the last spell cast by Miss Granger's wand to see if that's the case."

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Professor McGonagall picked up Hermione's wand next to the paper bag on the bedside table, then raised his own wand with the other hand, and docked the two wands together.

Under the action of the flashback spell, Hermione's wand sprayed a pattern of silver-white mist, and Professor McGonagall confirmed that the last spell Hermione's wand used was the Stunning Spell.

At this time, Professor McGonagall also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "It seems that this is an accident caused by Peeves' prank, rather than someone invading Hogwarts."

"That's good." Zhang Xu said, "I'm still afraid that someone will enter Hogwarts pretending to be a student returning from vacation."

Not long after, Hermione woke up under the effect of the potion that Madam Pomfrey had poured.

After Dumbledore asked briefly and got an answer consistent with his reasoning, Madam Pomfrey kicked him out of the ward.
