Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

As an old wizard among wizards, Slughorn quickly discovered that Bell, Simon and Kevin were different from other wizards.

"Who are you?" Slughorn, who realized that the other party's identity was wrong, took two steps forward with his short legs and stood between Harry and Zhang Xu, vaguely protecting Harry by his side. While guarding against Bear Grylls and the others, they are also guarding against Zhang Xu.

For a moment, Slughorn thought it was a trap set by Zhang Xu.

He himself had been hiding from Voldemort for a long time before he was hired back to teach at Hogwarts, and Harry beside him was the one who wanted to get rid of Voldemort quickly.Now they encountered a few wizards with suspicious identities in a place far away from Hogwarts and away from the crowd, which made him nervous.

Bell took out a roll of parchment and threw it to Slughorn, and replied, "We are Mr. Dumbledore's guests."

Slughorn dubiously used his wand to levitate the parchment and then unfolded it. He first checked that there were no curses on the parchment before he began to read the contents.

The curious Harry also stretched his head to look at the parchment, and he saw the familiar writing on it, which said that the person holding the parchment was a guest invited by Dumbledore to travel to the Forbidden Forest.

After repeatedly confirming that the last string of Dumbledore's signatures on the parchment was not fake, Slughorn was relieved.

When Slughorn rewound the parchment, he found that Zhang Xu had already sat in front of the campfire and was studying the roast leg of lamb.

Zhang Xu didn't take the dagger that Bell handed over, but cut off a thin slice from the roasted leg of lamb with Wuying Shenfeng Table Knife.

Zhang Xu's move won the applause of Bell and the three of them.

￣: "yuy"

Zhang Xu, who had finished eating the sliced ​​meat, praised it sincerely.

When you first bite down, your teeth feel the tenderness of the meat, but when you bite off the meat, you can feel the crispness of the fruit.In addition to the taste of mutton, the taste buds also faintly sensed a hint of sweetness from plants.

When Harry and Slughorn walked to Zhang Xu's side, what they saw was Zhang Xu's face that seemed to be deeply intoxicated after taking drugs.

At this time, Bell handed Slughorn a marching pot beside him, and said, "Professor, Mr. Zhang said you need this, so you can take it."

Slughorn took the marching pot and opened it to find that it was filled with a bright red liquid, which was the juice of the native goat fruit they were targeting on this trip.

Slughorn said to Bale: "Thank you, sir."

Then he took out a thumb-sized crystal bottle and handed it to Bell, saying, "As a thank you, please accept this bottle of my special white fresh essence, which has special effects on wound healing."

Bell thanked Slughorn and accepted the gift from the other party.

Then Slughorn pulled Harry, who was staring at the roast leg of lamb eager to try, and began to fill the juice from the marching pot into the crystal bottle he had prepared earlier.

After the teacher and the student filled the pot of juice without any drop, Zhang Xu handed two plates of sliced ​​roast leg of lamb to them.

"Let's have lunch first and then go to the next place." Zhang Xu said to the two of them.

Slughorn thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.Since the other party has Dumbledore's endorsement and seems to be familiar with Zhang Xu, he can be trusted.

Several people who sat around the campfire and had a delicious lunch reported their names under Zhang Xu's gossip.

As a result, the famous Harry Potter aroused great curiosity of the wilderness royal family.

Next, Harry chatted with Simon and Kevin, and Slughorn approached Bell, who was sitting next to him, and Zhang took the opportunity to eat more while they were chatting.

"Mr. Grylls, what do you do?" Slughorn asked, he was a little confused about the other person's background.

"I'm a member of the Royal Airborne Special Service," Bell replied.

Slughorn stared at Bell with wide-eyed eyes, then turned his head to look at Simon and Kevin who were chatting with Harry, and finally took a look at Zhang Xu who was eating hard. He realized that the world was changing a bit fast .

"You are traitors" Slughorn exclaimed in surprise.

Slughorn's shout alarmed Harry and the three of them. Harry looked at him suspiciously, unable to understand what the professor meant, and Simon and Kevin looked at Slughorn with a different look. gotta get sick of it.

"We have not betrayed anyone." Bell said solemnly, "We live on this land, we defend this land and the people who live on this land, instead of hiding and doing nothing."

"You have betrayed the International Statute of Secrecy promulgated by the International Confederation of Wizards," Slughorn said.

"The times have changed," Bell said, "If you hide yourself, you won't be able to see the development of the times. What awaits the wizard is a constant backwardness in self-enclosure, and what comes eventually is demise."

"At that time, you may only be able to live under Mr. Zhang's rule."

"Your Ministry of Magic has no way to prevent them from breaking into the manor of British wizards on British soil and taking away British wizards, even if there is magic protection set up by the mysterious man himself in that manor."

"Then the Ministry of Magic will not be able to stop them from doing more in the future."

Zhang Xu, who was picking his teeth, looked confused, wondering why he was shot while lying down.

"We have always advocated mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence." Zhang Xu said immediately.

"However, the premise is that the government agrees to your demands." Bell turned his head and said to Zhang Xu.

"Our demands are not excessive, and those demands are based on the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence." Zhang Xu learned something during the Christmas holiday, so he has the confidence to say so.

"Those excessive demands were made by the French and Russians," Zhang Xu added.

"I think we should be going to the next place." Seeing that the atmosphere was starting to turn wrong, Harry hastily changed the subject.

"Harry, you and the professor wait for me in the car first, I'll be here soon." Zhang Xu said to Harry.

Knowing the identity of the other party, Slughorn immediately stood up and turned to leave. Harry hesitated, bid farewell to Bell and the others, and then left.

When the two of them left, Zhang Xu and Bell stared at each other, but no one spoke.

After Harry and the others disappeared into the depths of the woods, Bell said to Zhang Xu with his right hand: "I hope the decisions of the officials sitting in the office will not affect our friendship."

"I believe nothing will happen to affect our friendship." Zhang Xu and Bell shook hands and said.

Regardless of whether the two parties are true or false, now is not the time for the two sides to turn their faces. Therefore, in the impression of ordinary people, officials who always sit in the office and give orders blindly are the best step.

After descending the steps, Zhang Xu asked, "Have you ever met a horseman?"

"I met them once, and their attitude was very bad, but after reading the written certificate issued by Mr. Dumbledore, they no longer stopped us." Bell replied.

"To be honest, the horse people are a bit glass-minded, and they will be furious at the slightest thing they think is offensive to them. When I communicate with them, I always think carefully before speaking." Zhang Xu said.

"Then let's avoid them." Bell said, "That meeting almost caused trouble."

"Don't get too close to the horse people tribe, in fact their life is not easy." Zhang Xu said.

"Also, don't go any further after you get to the place where the electronic equipment is disturbed. Now there are a lot of defensive magic around Hogwarts."

After reminding them of some precautions in the Forbidden Forest, Zhang Xu also turned and left.
