Chapter 353: Remember to eat dumplings when school starts

The days of summer vacation passed day by day, and the time soon came to the day when the students would take the train back to school.

The atmosphere on the Hogwarts train today was noticeably different from previous years, and the students on board were all nervous, afraid of the Mysteries and the Death Eaters returning to the train.

Shortly after the drive, the students were relieved to see a team of Aurors patrolling the train from start to finish.

Just as Professor Slughorn on the train invited the students to his C carriage for lunch with him, the first pot of dumplings in the Hogwarts kitchen was cooked.

As the saying goes, if you eat enough dumplings at the beginning of school, you won't be a single dog in the coming year.

Zhang Xu received a letter from Dumbledore asking him to come to Hogwarts a little earlier before school started.

When Zhang Xu was sent to the hospital after being injured, he only saw Dumbledore once on the day St. Mungo woke up, and Dumbledore told him not to worry, and left after the school started.

Zhang Xu estimated that Deng Lao was scared away by his grandfather and father at that time, because the two of them had deliberately negotiated in English to ask Hogwarts for a large amount of compensation.

Zhang Xu returned to Hogwarts early this morning, and then was immediately called to the Muggle Studies professor's office by Professor Bubage, who had returned to Hogwarts from leave without pay, and the two discussed the handover and course content all morning.

Later, Professor Bubaji proposed to let Zhang Xu continue to serve as an acting professor to assist him in class, but Zhang Xu still politely rejected this suggestion, and Professor Bubaji saw that Zhang Xu's face was a little pale, so he did not continue to insist.

When Zhang Xu left the Muggle Studies Professor's office, it was already lunch time, and when he came to the kitchen to get something to eat, he found that the kitchen was already occupied, Dumbledore was rolling the skin, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, and Snape were making dumplings, and Professor McGonagall was scooping out the first pot of dumplings.

Zhang Xu, who made dumplings with the professors a year ago, was too lazy to complain about the scene in front of him.

Just as Zhang Xu rolled up his sleeves and was about to go over to help, Dumbledore hurriedly said to him, "Just sit there today and just eat, Zhang." ”

After Zhang Xu sat down at the table, Professor McGonagall placed a plate of dumplings in front of him and said, "On behalf of Hogwarts, we thank you today for your sacrifice and efforts to rescue the students. ”

Zhang Xu said something like "this is what I should do" as he took the dumplings handed over by Professor McGonagall.

Then the principal and the deans asked Zhang Xu about his recovery, and Zhang Xu said that he could only recuperate for a long period of time and should not be too tired.

Everyone saw that Zhang Xu's face was not very good, and his steps were a little frivolous, and they all thought that this was the sequelae of his hard resistance to more than 20 heart mantras, and they did not suspect that his current ghost appearance was caused by other reasons.

Dumbledore didn't have any special assignments to tell the deans today, except to repeatedly emphasize the need for everyone to be vigilant this year, and to inform the new and returning professors.

After everyone finished eating the dumplings, Zhang Xu followed Dumbledore to the headmaster's office.

After sitting down in the office, Zhang Xu hurriedly asked, "Are you okay physically, Professor?" ”

Dumbledore just smiled and replied, "It's okay, it's just a little tired." ”

However, Zhang Xu didn't believe Dumbledore's words and continued to look at him with puzzled eyes.

On the way to the headmaster's office, Zhang Xu found out that Dumbledore had a physical problem, although Dumbledore tried his best to hide it, but he couldn't hide it from Zhang Xu when he became emaciated.

Seeing this, Dumbledore could only say: "It's not a serious problem, I paid a little price that day in order to defeat Voldemort quickly." ”

"It won't cause any serious after-effects, will it?" Zhang Xu asked.

Dumbledore shook his head and said, "There won't be any serious consequences. ”

Zhang Xu believed that he had a ghost, but he didn't say anything about it, so he didn't continue to talk about this topic.

Then Dumbledore took out a roll of parchment from the drawer on the table, handed it to Zhang Xu, and said, "The Ministry of Magic has decided to award you the Order of the Merlin Order of the First Class in recognition of your contributions and sacrifices on that day. ”

Zhang Xu opened the parchment and found that it was an invitation to attend the award party of the Order of the Order of Merlin to the Ministry of Magic next weekend.

It can be seen from the exquisite invitation that the Ministry of Magic is going to hold this awards party in a big way.

In the past two months, the Ministry of Magic has been under a lot of pressure on this matter, and the accusations in the media have never stopped.

Rita Skeeter is even more like taking stimulants as a meal, writing articles twice in three days, 360 degrees in all directions, looking for trouble with the Ministry of Magic. Later, not only the Ministry of Magic, but even Hogwarts was criticized by her.

It can be seen from this that the Ministry of Magic is going to hold an awards party to rush to the joy.

"Hopefully Voldemort won't show up at the party that day." Zhang Xu said while putting away the invitation.

Dumbledore didn't say anything, he said to Zhang Xu, "Do you want to know what happened last that day?" ”

Zhang Xu nodded, of course he was curious about how Dumbledore drove Voldemort away.

Dumbledore took the meditation basin and placed it on his desk, and then invited Zhang Xu to watch a 3D movie.

In the 3D movie, after Zhang Xu saw Dumbledore and the members of the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors arrive at the open space outside the train, Voldemort took the Death Eaters, escorted Harry Potter and dragged himself out of the carriage.

At this moment, Zhang Xu's name had been recorded in his small notebook, because the goods dragged his feet to the outside of the carriage like a dead dog.

This was followed by a round of mouth cannon between Dumbledore and Voldemort, with Dumbledore exchanging Harry Potter and Zhang Xu with the "Prophecy Orb recorded by Trelawney sixteen years ago" and all the Death Eaters captured by the students.

In the end, Dumbledore and Voldemort had a fight, but Zhang Xu didn't expect Dumbledore to suppress Voldemort at the beginning.

It seems that in order to establish the concept that "Voldemort can be defeated" in front of everyone, Dumbledore used some methods of overdrawing his body to increase his strength.

Zhang Xu also ran to Voldemort's side, and saw that after his initial shock, the expression on his face began to become a little playful.

It can be seen that Voldemort also saw through Dumbledore's plan, so he spent it with Dumbledore there.

As a result, Dumbledore did not give Voldemort a chance to enter the stalemate phase, and directly threw a spell on Voldemort's face......
