Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

On the observatory, Zhang Xu leaned against the stone wall, listening to Percy talking about what he encountered in his work.

For Percy, this was a rare way to vent his inner stress.

At Hogwarts, Percy was proud, and he had the capital to be proud.Under the pressure of his two outstanding elder brothers, Bill and Charlie, he strictly demanded himself to grow into a person not inferior to his elder brothers.It is a testament to his hard work that he served as a prefect and head of the student body during his time at Hogwarts.

The ambitious Percy entered the Ministry of Magic with his pride after graduation, and then leaped forward one by one in less than three years, until now he actually climbed to the position of head of the Auror Office.

Zhang Xu was stunned when he got the news. How could the leadership of such a powerful department fall into the hands of such a young man? It’s not magical to think that a student who has graduated for two years is a senior leader of the Ministry of Public Security. Nor is it scientific.We must know that the competition for this position was very fierce at that time, and many veteran Aurors, including Neville's father Frank Barton, were popular candidates.At that time, Zhang Xu had the idea that Percy was the protagonist of this world.

Later, Zhang Xu learned from Cedric's letter that Percy was able to parachute to this position, in addition to "always supporting the Minister of Magic, who is the Minister of Magic to support who", there is also a series of directors who can film a season behind it. Struggle and operate within.At least from the fact that members of the Order of the Phoenix among the Aurors did not object to this matter, it can be seen that something is wrong.

After so many years of hard work, the fact that a young man was parachuted into his head to become a leader really made many Aurors feel uncomfortable, especially in this tense period.There may not be such a thing as being obedient and violating, but there is still such a thing as a pair of eyes on Percy waiting for him to make a mistake.

In any powerful department, if you want to become a leader, it is impossible to convince your subordinates without excellent skills.

This shows that Percy is under great pressure at work.

The infighting in Auror's office has never been disclosed, so the specific details of what happened in the office are unknown to outsiders. Zhang Xu only knows that Percy, after a lot of hard work, relied on his clever mind Finally got a firm foothold in this position.

Zhang Xu was noncommittal about Percy's choice. Even if Percy chose to sell tea eggs in Diagon Alley, he would not say anything. Back then, Voldemort went to work as a salesperson after graduation. Who can guarantee that Percy who sells tea eggs will not be able to make a success in the future? Fan career.

On the observatory, Zhang Xu was listening on the sidelines, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time, sometimes arguing with Percy on some issues.

As friends, it is our duty to share happiness and troubles with each other, and to help each other solve some problems within our capabilities.

In terms of friends, Zhang Xu feels that his behavior is quite similar to that of Slughorn.Slughorn liked to stay behind the scenes and give ideas, but he never came to the fore.And Zhang Xu doesn't help you make up your mind, he can provide you with corresponding suggestions and help when you make up your mind.For example, he does not object to Hermione's emancipation movement, and he will provide Hermione with theoretical knowledge when needed.

As a fairly qualified intelligence officer, he could analyze from what Percy said between the lines that the situation in Britain was already on the verge of danger.

British ordinary people and wizards who have just enjoyed a stable life for a long time are back to the days when the dark clouds of terrorist attacks cover the sky.Extravagance into simplicity is difficult, and the dissatisfaction of the people who have lived a stable life has accumulated to a very high level.

After Percy finished nagging about the work of the Ministry of Magic, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Now the Ministry of Magic of several countries is preparing to organize an international Auror organization, do you know about this?"

"Oh." Zhang Xu said in surprise, "I've never heard of this."

"This was proposed by the French Ministry of Magic not long ago.

, I thought you would know. "Percy said, "Now there are six ministries of magic from Britain, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Italy and Ireland who intend to agree to join this organization as the first batch of members.Because there were seven countries, the plan is now known as the Rainbow Project. "

Zhang Xu thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that the French Ministry of Magic is scared by the current situation in the UK, so we need to make some arrangements in advance. Because next year the French Muggle World will host the Football World Cup, and the Magic World will host Quidditch." The World Cup, if there is a large-scale attack by dark wizards at that time, it will be in big trouble. You must know that many top Muggle football players are worth millions of Galleons."

"I'm guessing it has something to do with the Death Eaters trying to attack a Muggle football player named Shellham just before Christmas," Percy said. The player's house put a confusion spell on him and made him do weird things while he was playing on the pitch. Our guys were following one of the Death Eaters, and we ended up stopping them just as they were about to start their move."

""There were so many slots, Zhang Xu didn't know where to start to spit it out.

"Then what do you think about this organization?" Zhang Xu asked.

"Now that the general framework of this organization has been negotiated, I may represent the British Ministry of Magic to work in the general secretariat of this organization." Percy said.

And Zhang Xu complained from the side: "Is your job cursed, just like the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, each job can only be done for one year?"

"If there is an opportunity, it is natural to go for it." Percy said, "This is a very good opportunity."

"But don't you think your connections at the grassroots level are too thin?" Zhang Xu asked, "and the families in the high-level who are willing to support you are always hesitant to support you. Because you have been very unstable at work, you have been working hard every day. The time you stay in one place is too short, on the one hand, you can’t have a deep friendship with your colleagues, on the other hand, others can’t see your development direction, so they worry about your future, so they always have doubts when investing in you.”

After listening to it, Percy rested his hands on the crenel of the stone wall, and while looking at the campus under the evening sun, he was thinking about what Zhang Xu said just now.

Zhang Xu waited for him to make a decision.

It has to be said that Percy has been facing smooth sailing when facing career choices along the way, which makes him easy to drift when making choices, thinking that his smooth progress is a normal state, and he does not see some differences behind him. usual place.

After a long time, Percy clenched his right fist and thumped the crenel. It seemed that he had made some kind of decision in his heart.

"I have decided that I still want to go to the International Auror Organization, but instead of going to the General Secretariat, I will join the Rainbow Squad and work there for at least five years." Percy said firmly.

"What department is that?" Zhang Xu asked curiously.

"That's a joint strike force composed of multi-national Aurors proposed by Mr. John Clark to deal with tricky dark wizards," Percy said.

"That's not bad." Zhang Xu nodded and said.

Just when Zhang Xu was about to continue, the beep sound from Percy's body interrupted him.

Percy took out the communicator and looked at it, then his face suddenly became serious.

Seeing this, Zhang Xu was about to step aside to avoid suspicion. At this time, Percy said: "I was planning to represent the Ministry of Magic to attend the funeral of the No. [-] agent of the British government. There was an explosion, and almost all the British agents attending the funeral died. , only Johnny Ingrid was unscathed."

Zhang Xu was speechless, can you tell him this kind of thing?

After Percy finished speaking, he left in a hurry, and Zhang Xu also took out a communicator to send the message after he left.
