Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

:3▓▓▓

The morning alarm clock rang on time, and Scrimgeour woke up immediately.Although he only slept for about three hours this time, under the effect of the potion, the deep sleep revived him.

When washing himself up after waking up, Scrimgeour found that in the mirror he had more white hair than before.

Sighing a little, since he took the position of Minister of Magic, the white hair on his head has been sprouting out.

He picked up a comb from the side, skillfully dipped it in the hair dye, and combed the messed up hair because of sleeping. At the same time, he dyed the gray hair back to its original color.

Because he was going to attend a formal occasion today, he spent a little more time than usual on grooming.

Seeing that there is still some time before the opening ceremony in the morning, Scrimgeour decided to go to Gringotts' business office in Hogsmeade first, and first try to find out what the goblins say about the mortgage loan in the basement of the London Ministry of Magic office. .

It's just that Scrimgeour had just entered the Gringotts business hall less than 10 minutes before he hurried out with a dark face.

Today is a rare sunny day, and there is nothing in the sky except for the sun that just popped out from below the horizon.The sun spreads all over the land, making the snow on the roofs of nearby mountain tops and villages reflect the light from the sun.

When the sunlight shone into the bedroom through the lattice curtains, Zhang Xu turned sideways and saw Fu Rong's sleeping face.

Looking at that delicate sleeping face, Zhang couldn't help but kissed it.

After being attacked, Fu Rong woke up, pulled up the quilt to cover her face, and kicked someone Zhang lightly under the quilt.

"Go on to sleep." Zhang Xu said softly.

Fu Rong didn't answer, but kicked Zhang under the quilt again, then turned around and continued to sleep with her head covered.

Mr. Zhang left the warm bed lightly, put on his clothes and washed, helped Furong tuck the quilt up, and left the room.

Last night, when Zhang Xu came out of the Pig's Head Bar and was about to return to Hogwarts, he met Fu Rong who had just returned from France.

Then it took less than a second for someone Zhang to come up with an excuse for not returning at night.

The day's plan is in the morning, and Hogsmeade in the morning is busy.

The Aurors who got off the night shift went to the Three Broomsticks bar for a drink before going back to the dormitory to sleep. Outside the door of the bar, these Aurors could be seen greeting colleagues passing by on the morning shift.

The Ministry of Magic staff on their way to the Hog's Head pub this morning looked a little distracted.When they talked with people on the road, they turned their heads to look outside the village from time to time.

On the village side of Hogsmeade facing Hogwarts, a huge traveling tent and a huge stage have been erected.

Since the Christmas shopping season is the main focus this time, all decorations are mainly in Christmas style.For Christmas decorations, you can't go wrong with Christmas trees and mistletoe.

the whole tent

The shape is a huge cartoon-style Christmas tree.It is surrounded by the brown color of old tree trunks, and the silk decoration on the outer wall of the tent looks like the lines on the trunk from a distance.And its entire sloping top was made into the shape of a Christmas tree crown, with circles of colored silk and colorful lanterns hanging on layers of green silk leaves, and a lot of snow fell on it.

Mr. Zhang didn't like the design of a piece of forest, sea and snow above his head, but he didn't care about it from the beginning, and now he can only accept the fait accompli.

Outside the tent, outside the gate is a huge mistletoe arch, and on both sides of the arch are lined up stalls for offal, spicy hot pot, roujiamo, and kebabs.

The stage not far from the tent was not complicatedly arranged. Behind the high stage was a row of newly decorated Christmas trees, and in front of it was a gate made of mistletoe.

At the back of the stage, members of the Weird Sisters, a famous music group in the wizarding world of England, are making final preparations for their upcoming performance.

Not far from them, Zhang Xu was greeting an acquaintance.

"Boss Huang, good morning." Zhang Xu greeted the acquaintances he met.

"Hey, good morning, Boss Zhang." Boss Huang said.

"Hey, Boss Huang, do you want to introduce this unfamiliar beauty beside you?" Zhang Xu suddenly found a young girl standing beside Boss Huang, and she hadn't shown up when he was helping out these few days.

"This is my sister-in-law." Boss Huang introduced to Zhang Xu, "You know I don't know foreign languages, but she is fine, so I called her from China to help me translate."

"Nice to meet, nice to meet." After Zhang Xu greeted Boss Huang's sister-in-law and introduced himself, he asked Boss Huang, "Boss Huang, are your products and booth layout ready? Nothing will happen. Mistake"

"It's all ready." Boss Huang said confidently, "Our leather factory has made sufficient preparations to open up the European market. Not only have we prepared sufficient supplies, but our styles are also directly following the forefront of European fashion trends, such as wallets and handbags. , luggage, everything is enough. Whether it is wholesale or retail, we have considered all kinds of situations."

"That's good." Zhang Xu nodded and said, "Oh, I'm afraid that everyone will travel all the way and end up not making any money."

"It's okay, there is no one who only eats meat and doesn't suffer losses in business. Everyone knows this kind of thing, so you don't have to worry about us." Boss Huang said indifferently, "I lost money in South America last year, so This year, we are planning to make a comeback in Europe. This time, everyone is working hard, and with the official support of both sides, as long as no one comes to make trouble, there will be no shortage of business opportunities."

"Besides, even if it messes up again this time, at worst, I'll just run back with my aunt's womb, and just leave those goods as wages for the salesman hired here."

Zhang Xu at the side thought that the other party was an indomitable person at first, but then he heard the last black line, why are you so proficient in running.

Soon, Mr. Zhang will find that he is running out of time, because he has been caught by Scrimgeour.

Boss Huang recognized Scrimgeour, and when he saw that the other party was coming to find Zhang Xu, he took his sister-in-law to leave in a very sensible manner.

Scrimgeour pulled Zhang Xu to a place where no one was around, and then asked with a dark face, "The Ministry of Magic in London has been mortgaged to Gringotts. Do you have any clues?"

"Ah" Zhang Xu was also shocked by the news, "Why did he attack so quickly?"

After hearing Zhang Xu's words, Scrimgeour's gaze became sharp.
