Chapter 85: Laughter in the Faculty Lounge
Due to the presence of Dementors outside Hogwarts and the possible invasion of Sirius, it was no longer possible to go outside the castle after dark at the beginning of this semester, so everyone had to change the location of the event to an empty classroom in the castle. The fifth floor, which was originally empty, is now a center of activity for the students.
After watching the live footage of the AC Milan match in the Muggle Studies classroom, Zhang Xu planned to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.
The 93/34 season was the last year of the Milan dynasty, and Zhang Xu, who had been very fond of AC Milan in his previous life, asked another member of the embassy, who was also an AC Milan fan, to help transcribe all the matches of AC Milan this season in order to pay for all kinds of strange candies in the wizarding world.
When Zhang Xu walked to the foyer, he saw that Hagrid had just sent the Harry trio who had gone to find him back to the castle gate.
Seeing Zhang Xu who was walking down the stairs, Harry and the three of them just said hello, and suddenly thought that Zhang Xu now has the right to add points and deduct points from the house, and this semester the school prohibits leaving the castle after dark.
It was very embarrassing to be caught by the current three.
"Gryffindor, one point for each. The next time you leave the castle at night, you will be deducted two points per person, and if you find it again, you will be deducted in equal proportions. I hope you will listen carefully to Professor Scarlett's class. Before the three of Harry tried to make excuses, Zhang Xu deducted points.
was deducted points by Zhang Xu, so that the three people who originally wanted to find Zhang Xu to have something to do walked back to the dormitory.
After lunch on Thursday, in the faculty lounge, Zhang Xu, who was resting here after lunch, stared at a bottle of the green shrinkage potion he had just concocted in his morning potions class, and at the same time asked Snape all kinds of questions about the shrinkage potion.
For example, what is the limit of the effect of the shrinking potion, can it turn a chicken back into an egg, can it turn a mature woman back into a loli, etc.
Zhang Xu then asked Professor Snape about his recent progress in purifying the active ingredients of potion materials, a topic that was obviously more in line with Snape's appetite than a mature woman turning into a loli, which gave Snape a little interest in talking.
As a result, Zhang Xu changed the topic, "Professor Snape, don't you plan to find a good girl to marry in the future?" ”
As soon as Zhang Xu's words fell, several other professors in the faculty lounge who had been looking at each other turned their eyes to Snape's face, and everyone saw that Snape's face was paler than Dumbledore's beard.
"Don't bother, Mr. Zhang." After a long while, Snape whispered viciously at Zhang Xu.
"I've found that the percentage of students who have found their partner has been much higher recently than in the previous two years, so it's okay to care about colleagues who are in difficulty." Zhang Xu continued, "Rather than nostalgia for the past, I think it is more important to grasp the present and grasp the future. ”
"What do you know? Please don't make ridiculous comments in areas you don't know anything about. Snape said.
"I just know what I know." Zhang Xu didn't continue, although he and Snape have been quite familiar in the past two years, but if this topic continues, it will only attract a shadow.
If he could take this opportunity to open a hole in Snape's heart, maybe he would have a happy outcome in the future.
"Professor Lupin." Zhang Xu continued.
Lu Ping, who was preparing for the afternoon class, couldn't help but be startled when he heard Zhang Xu turn the finger at him.
Several of the other professors also began to look at Lupin.
"Professor Lupin, you will meet a good girl in a few years, you must hurry up when the time comes, I hope you don't give up." Zhang Xu said as he gave Lu Ping a thumbs up.
"I'm ......" Lupin was suddenly said by Zhang Xu, and he didn't know what to say for a while, "I'm too poor...... It's too dangerous......"
After Lupin finished speaking, he realized that there was something wrong with what he said.
"Remus, I think Mr. Zhang is right." Professor McGonagall suddenly launched an assist. She knew Lupin very well, and was once Lupin's professor, so she put on the shelf of an elder and said that Lupin was also suitable.
"With your current salary, you've been lifted out of poverty. It won't be long before you're in danger again. It's time for you to think about it. Professor McGonagall said.
"You don't know, back then, you were very popular in our Ravenclaw senior sister circle. If you weren't too wooden and didn't take the hints of the senior sisters, you would have been able to find a girlfriend then. Scarlet followed up with a knife, "With your current conditions, you are still very attractive to the little girl." ”
"How is that possible," said Lupin, "I'm ...... old."
At Srechard's "cough-cough", Lupin didn't dare to continue.
"Halleyson," Professor Flitsch interjected, "what about you?" I remember you didn't have a boyfriend when you were at Hogwarts. ”
"We met when our family moved to the East." After Srecat finished speaking, he sighed and looked up at the ceiling of the faculty lounge at forty-five degrees.
Zhang Xu smelled the smell of gossip, and just wanted to ask, he suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, as if a voice was telling him in his head that if he didn't want to finish, don't ask.
So Zhang Xu was decisive from his heart.
"Why didn't you catch it?" Professor McGonagall asked, and there were some things she had asked that were more appropriate.
"I can't catch it." Srecat sighed and said, "I'm late. ”
For a moment, the other professors didn't know what to say, but Snape had a feeling called sympathy.
"Zhang," asked Professor Sprout, who had been eating melons and watching the play, "how did you know that Professor Lupin would meet a good girl in a few years?" ”
Several other professors realized the problem.
"I just did a divination for Professor Lupin on a whim, and the result of the divination was that Professor Lupin would meet a good girl who loved him deeply in a few years, and he would be a father before I graduated from Hogwarts." Zhang Xu replied.
The professors laughed and began to make fun of the increasingly embarrassed Lupin, except for Snape, who still had a gloomy face.
Zhang Xu wanted to laugh a little when he saw this scene, hoping that his divination called "spoiler" could be realized.
"Zhang, what are your plans with your little French girlfriend?" Professor Flitwick then drew the fire to Zhang Xu.
As a result, Zhang Xu was caught by the professors' gaze.
"After graduating from Hogwarts, I will go back to Huaxia to study at university, and we will get married after graduating from college." Zhang Xu's cheeks were thick enough to generously tell them their future plans.
After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he suddenly found that he had become an old general on the stage, with flags planted behind him.
"Actually, you can get married in the UK first, and you are just the right age when you graduate. Maybe I'll be able to marry Professor Lupin or Professor Snape in the future. Srecat said.
At this moment, there was a burst of laughter in the faculty lounge.
