Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

In the third class of the 1997 Apparition Training Class held in the Hogwarts cafeteria, after Wikitacross announced the start of free practice, the students present turned to where Zhang Xu was standing, and the four deans They also stood around Zhang Xu at the same time.

Because someone might have to be carried to the school infirmary in a very short time later, the door of the cafeteria was not closed during class today.

Therefore, a group of powerful onlookers waiting outside the cafeteria to watch the excitement also put away their snacks at this time, and all quietly looked at Zhang Xu who was standing not far from the gate.

Even Dobby, who was pulling a small cart to sell snacks, pushed the half-empty snack cart to the corner, then stuck out his big head from the edge of the gate, and looked at Zhang Xu with his big watery eyes.

Under this kind of strong onlookers, Zhang Xu felt the huge pressure on his body. It seemed that if he didn't divide himself into two parts, he would feel sorry for the people who watched the excitement.

When Apparition appears split, the power of space magic will protect the separated place in a very short period of time, which is why Zhang did not cool down.But if the parts of the body are not connected in a very short period of time, when the magic power disappears, it will become a scene of a horror movie.

After two failures and being rescued again, Zhang Xu no longer fears being split into several pieces by apparation on another level.If you can't die anyway, let's try a few more times.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Xu first gave himself a mechanical mind to adjust his fluctuating emotions.If it weren't for being unable to use other magic while Apparating, he wouldn't have to tear himself apart.

When he felt that his mind was as calm as water and there were no distracting thoughts, Zhang Xu first released the mechanical mind, and then followed the three "d"s that should be paid attention to when using apparition, take off, and let himself go while turning in circles.

The feeling of being involved when moving in space reappeared on Zhang Xu's body. At this moment, a picture of himself appearing safely inside the wooden circle appeared in his mind.

The next moment, there was a huge cheer from inside and outside the cafeteria, and the waves even shook the candles floating above the cafeteria like boats on the sea.

The four deans who were always ready to rescue him breathed a sigh of relief, and even Wikitacross applauded.

After Zhang Xu saw himself appearing in the wooden circle with all his beard and tail, the boulder weighing on his heart finally fell to the ground.

The surrounding students started their own practice after a few minutes of fussing, and the students who were watching from outside the door also started to leave.

In the next practice, Zhang Xu discovered that learning to apparate is the same as learning to ride a bicycle. There is a piece of window paper between knowing and not, and it is easy to pierce it.So when he succeeded once, he found that it would not be too difficult to use this magic later.

In the following time, Zhang Xu simply made two circles on the ground, and then "biu" and "biu" between the two circles.

When today's lessons were over, Wikitacross was able to leave Hogwarts with a smile on his face.As a teacher of extracurricular training classes, he still faces great employment pressure.If no one in a training can pass this situation, he will not be far from losing his job.

After this episode, Hogwarts resumed its usual routine.

But outside of Hogwarts, the situation became more and more tense, so that Hogg, whom the students had been looking forward to,

Maude Weeks are all cancelled.

Nearly half of the daily Prophet's page is reporting bad news, while the other half is reporting the advanced deeds of the Aurors fighting the Death Eaters.

The letters home brought by the owls showed that the current situation is not as good as the newspapers said.

The Ministry of Magic told readers through the Daily Prophet that although the current security situation is not good, under the leadership of Minister of Magic Scrimgeour and the selfless efforts of relevant departments, the situation has not changed for the worse

In the media of ordinary people in the UK, the Times, the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail have all begun to report that an unknown terrorist organization has begun large-scale attacks on civilian targets.From Wales to Scotland, the British people seem to have returned to the era dominated by the terrorist attacks of the Irish Republican Army.

The negotiations between the IRA and the British government, which were innocent this time, have come to an end. In order to keep this hard-won result, they have to issue statements frequently, declaring that they have nothing to do with the recent frequent terrorist attacks. .In order to concentrate its efforts on solving the island's problems, the British government also began to make some concessions.

Voldemort's approach objectively made the British government's attitude towards wizards worse and worse, and some extreme voices even appeared in the government.Fortunately, these voices did not last long before they were suppressed by the prime minister.

Faced with this situation, Dumbledore couldn't help but feel a headache. He was not familiar with this kind of public security war. What he was familiar with was the small-scale beheading operation of "taking the head of a general from a million troops".

What he has always done, whether it is creating the Order of the Phoenix, cultivating Harry Potter, or contacting various forces in the wizarding world to stand by him, the premise of all actions is to kill Voldemort.

But now Voldemort is hiding in the dark, a large number of Death Eaters are blooming everywhere, and he is a little helpless.

In the end, it was Percy Weasley who proposed an action plan in which each party was responsible for its own specialties at a regular tripartite meeting.The law and order war was discussed and resolved by the Ministry of Magic and the British government. Dumbledore, you and your Order of the Phoenix just waited to be in charge of king to king and general to general after finding Voldemort.

Zhang Xu closed Percy's letter, in which he said that Dumbledore neither supported nor objected to this plan, but when Old Deng heard his plan, his complexion seemed not very good for a moment.

In his reply to Percy, Zhang Xu reminded that the old revolutionaries will inevitably be uncomfortable when they encounter new problems, but the experience and ability of the old revolutionaries cannot be ignored because of this.In the process of communication, we still need to pay attention to the method and method, and we must not let the older generation think that they are underestimated by others, and we must not let the older generation feel chilled.

Just when Zhang Xu was going to the owl room to send the letter, he heard a loud noise coming from above the stairs, and the noise was getting louder and louder.He stepped aside at the corner of the stairs as the panicked footsteps came closer.There are always reckless students running up and down the stairs in the castle, and it is not a good thing to be hit by them.

Soon, Zhang Xu saw Harry running down the stairs with the unconscious Ron on his back. Ron, who was climbing on Harry's back, spat out a mouthful of black blood as he passed by.

Not long after Harry ran over, Slughorn, who was as fat as a ball, also ran down. His pale face and profuse sweat were not known to be due to running fatigue or other reasons.

Zhang Xu was stunned for a while before he realized that today is Ron's birthday. In the "plot", this unlucky child was poisoned twice because of eating the wrong food.
