The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

"I heard that the quality of the alchemy cage that Lockhart made himself was not up to par. As a result, during class, the spider broke the cage and ran out"!

"That class was held by Gryffindor and Slytherin together. It is said that all the Slytherin boys were so scared that they peed their pants."

Ron said somewhat proudly.

"Uh, all the first year boys in Slytherin pissed their pants"?

Hermione on the opposite side looked behind Ron with wide eyes, but Ron thought Hermione was looking at him.

"Yes, this is what George and Fred told me. They were sent to clean the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom because of their night outing. According to them, the place was filled with filthy odor and stink, making it almost impossible to breathe."

"What? You two don't believe it"?

Ron saw Harry and Hermione looking at him with shocked expressions, so he asked slightly suspiciously.

"I, we don't believe it"...

Hermione stammered, staring intently behind Ron.

"That, uh, Ron, behind you"...

Harry swallowed and spoke intermittently.

"So it was George and Fred who said that, right? Thank you, Ron. I'll go find them after dinner tonight."

An unhurried voice came from behind Ron.

"Good evening, my dear cousin Weasley"~

Zhang Qi, who appeared behind Ron like a ghost, gently put his hands on Ron's shoulders and patted him twice leisurely.

Ron suddenly felt a chill running from his shoulders down his spine to his tailbone.

"Ah, um, good evening"...

Ron, who spoke ill of people behind their backs, swallowed in horror and spoke intermittently.

"Well, this is the Gryffindor table"...

Hermione stammered and mustered up the courage to remind Zhang Qi.

"There doesn't seem to be any rule that says students are not allowed to sit at long tables in other houses, Miss Granger."

Zhang Qi said and sat down next to Harry generously.

"Hello, Senior Wood."

Zhang Qi greeted Wood across from him.

"I told that gorilla who always likes to do evil things to get out of here, so you don't mind if I sit on the long table in your academy for a while, right?"

Wood glanced at Zhang Qi with some confusion, thought for a moment and then shrugged.

Zhang Qi is a special case among Slytherin students, and his reputation in Gryffindor is still good.

"Hello, Harry, last time the situation was quite special and I didn't have time to introduce myself. My name is Zhang Qi, and there is another English name called Hilbert Zirol."

Zhang Qi stretched out his right hand towards Harry.

"Hello".Harry also stretched out his right hand and shook it with Zhang Qi.

After experiencing the incident on the train, Harry's feelings towards Zhang Qi changed significantly.

Zhang Qi's image in Harry's mind has changed from a gentle and wealthy kid to an absolute hero of justice.

"Maybe you don't know that yet, Harry."

Zhang Qi thought about his words before continuing to speak to Harry.

"Your mother, Ms. Lily Evans, is my godmother. My mother and Ms. Evans had a particularly good relationship when they were students."

"what"?

Harry's mouth opened in disbelief.

"Well, what I actually want to tell you now is that if you can trust me when you encounter something you are unsure about, I will help you find a solution."

"After all, you will encounter many such things in the future."

Zhang Qi patted Harry on the shoulder, like a Riddler, and said a bunch of inexplicable but meaningful words, then picked up a small metal box that he had been carrying and handed it to Hermione. .

"This is the hardcover version of the first three Dragons that I promised you before school started, as well as Xia Mi's swimsuit figure. This is a collector's edition of only 300 sets in the world, so be sure to keep it."

"Ah, thank you"!

Hermione happily took the box.

"Please give your father a message, Miss Granger. Could you please ask your father if he is interested in joining the foreign affairs department of Zirol Company? We can offer up to four times the daily salary of an ordinary international security company."

Zhang Qi said with a smile.

"After all, your father retired from the British Special Air Service Regiment, and his annual training results are very good. He is a 'Seth' with rich practical experience. The Zirol Mercenary Company is currently lacking such talents."

"Well, I'm sorry Mr. Zirol, my father has sworn that unless his own life is threatened, he will never point a gun that symbolizes death at anyone again."

Hermione was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhang Qi's words, and then said to Zhang Qi very firmly.

"The Nazirol family respects your father's choice."

Zhang Qi nodded, and then patted Harry's shoulder gently.

"Remember, bravery is not a stupid charge. No matter what happens, don't be reckless. You must think carefully before making a decision."

"It is your destiny to face that person one day in the future, but whether you can win this duel still depends on yourself. So, throw away the aura given by your parents, only what is yours is yours ".

After saying that, Zhang Qi smiled at Harry.Then he stood up, left the Gryffindor table, and sat where he should be.

Harry was left thinking in his seat.

---------------------

Returning to Slytherin's dormitory, Zhang Qi began to think about the problem again - what to use instead of red stone as an energy source?

"Well, some magical biological materials with sufficient magic power are also possible, but such things are generally hard to find. Even on the black market, they are priceless."...

A slightly distressed Zhang Qi pulled out an illustrated book of common magical creatures from the bookshelf in the Slytherin common room and looked at the catalog carefully, hoping to find some clues that could enlighten him.

"Dragon blood? Although this is expensive, it is still within my payment range, but this thing cannot be directly converted into energy! It must be supported by some materials. If I have that skill, I might as well refine a red Stone"...

Zhang Qi, who was a little worried, continued to look at the directory, and soon turned to the second partition.

"Illustrated Guide to Common Dark Magical Creatures"?

Zhang Qi, who was aroused, turned the page of the book. The first block was a humanoid black magic creature.

"Inferi? This is of no use at all."

"Werewolf? This is useless."

Zhang Qi then moved his attention to the third category.

"vampire"?

"Vampires can directly convert the blood of living things into magic power. The hearts of vampires over 100 years old will crystallize. When vampires eat, they can store the blood in the heart to complete magic power conversion with higher efficiency. Even if they are separated from the body, Can it also convert magic power normally?”

"Hiss"~

Zhang Qi took a deep breath and started searching the room for parchment and pens.

He wanted to send a letter to the German Ministry of Magic.
