Shortly around noon, a sudden downpour struck Hogwarts with lightning and thunder.

Zhang Xu, like other students playing by the lake, casually found something around him and turned it into an umbrella, and ran to the castle with the umbrella.

At this time, it was time to prepare for lunch, and a group of students simply went to the cafeteria to wait for lunch to be prepared.

During lunch, Zhang Xu found that Pony-classmate did not appear in the cafeteria.

After hastily settling lunch, Zhang Xu left the cafeteria, put a phantrum spell on himself in the corridor where no one was around, and walked towards Myrtle's bathroom.

When he was in the corridor, Zhang Xu had already taken advantage of the fact that no one was looking at the map of the living point and found that the pony was alone in the girls' bathroom.

(￣▽￣; )👂🚪

Zhang Xu, who leaned his ear against the door of the bathroom, vaguely heard the voice of a boy crying inside, and listened carefully, the person who was crying inside was Malfoy.

At this moment, Zhang Xu's heart suddenly moved, and he immediately raised his wand and pointed to his side.

(・ω・)っ—·速速示形·—o(·_·)

Zhang Xu didn't expect that there would be people next to him who used the illusion spell to eavesdrop on the movement in the girl's bathroom, if it weren't for the breeze that the other party was walking in, Zhang Xu really couldn't find the other party.

And he didn't expect that the other party used a silent manifestation spell on the other party just like himself.

When the two people in front of the door saw each other clearly, the scene fell into extreme embarrassment.

Zhang Xu: What should I do if I am found by the principal outside the door of the girls' bathroom after being invisible? Wait online, hurry!

Zhang Xu and Lao Deng stared at each other for a while, and then they unanimously chose to cast a phantom spell on themselves again and become invisible.

As for the pony in the bathroom, he didn't know that he had been secretly watched.

With Lao Deng here, it can be said that sneaking into the bathroom silently is a piece of cake.

The situation in the bathroom is now very suitable for reading comprehension questions in Chinese class papers.

The rain was blown into the bathroom by the storm through the window and fell on Malfoy, who was curled up on the ground, and Malfoy's sobs seemed so small to the accompaniment of the thunder.

According to the idea of reading comprehension, this scene depicts Malfoy's inner weakness and helplessness.

And the reality is the same now, and now Malfoy is only one step away from crying and fainting in the bathroom.

Although Zhang Xu is not sure whether Malfoy has received the task of assassinating Dumbledore from Voldemort, or even himself, after all, Lucius Malfoy has not been captured this time, and Voldemort has no reason to let the pony take action.

But judging from the fact that he is now crushed by pressure, Voldemort's mission is ninety percent similar to that in the "plot".

Come to think of it, it's not surprising that he was crushed by a series of events such as the almost impossible task of assassinating Dumbledore, followed by the burning of his home and the disappearance of his parents.

And what made Zhang Xu feel the most strange was why Malfoy would still stay at Hogwarts at this time.

In the past few years at Hogwarts, Zhang Xu knew that when a student's family had an accident or a relative died, the school would give the students a holiday to let them go home to deal with family affairs.

Now that Malfoy hasn't come home to see it, and Pony's identity is very special, and his father is a secret that everyone knows about the Death Eaters, then his actions can't help but make people suspicious.

Maybe Lao Deng was puzzled by this, so he came to follow Xiaoma.

It's just that the harvest of this tracking operation is almost zero, and Pony-san has nothing else to do except almost cry and faint.

Resisting the idea of taking the opportunity to give the pony a remind, Zhang Xu left the bathroom.

If the pony has already fainted from crying, then it is okay to use the Dementor on him, and if you use it on him while he is still a little sane, it will be discovered.

After leaving Myrtle's territory, Zhang Xu went back to his dormitory to freshen up and prepare to set off for tonight's award ceremony at the Ministry of Magic.

As a man, Zhang Xu dressed up like that, washed his head and face, combed his hair, and changed into decent clothes.

Today, Zhang Xu is wearing the same blue robe he wore at the Christmas dinner of the Triwizard Tournament two years ago, and it fits again after fine-tuning.

After looking at the time, it was still a long time to finally go to the principal's office to set off, so Zhang Xu began to take care of the flowers and plants in the dormitory.

After Professor Bubbaji returned, Zhang Xu immediately moved all the flowers and plants that were originally placed in the Muggle Studies office back to the dormitory, and now except for a few pots of peas that Professor Sprout failed to cultivate and could only be used for ornamentation on the balcony, other non-aggressive plants are arranged in the living room.

When there was still a quarter of an hour before the meeting time, someone directly pushed open the door of Zhang Xu's dormitory, and looked at Zhang Xu who was like a retired old cadre watering the flowers and plants and loosening the soil.

After seeing the comer, Zhang Xu realized that the time to set off was almost up.

"Are you going to fly yourself?"

Scarlet said speechlessly to Zhang Xu, who was holding a small shovel to loosen the soil for the calendula on the windowsill.

"Uh...... I forgot to set an alarm, let's go now. Zhang Xu said to Scarlet embarrassedly.

According to the plan, Zhang Xu should go to her dormitory to find her fifteen minutes ago, and then go to Lao Deng's office together.

Zhang Xu put the shovel in his hand on the side of the calendula pot, drained the dirt on his hands, and left with Scarlet.

After two or three days of hard soaking, Scarlet finally declined the invitation to attend the Merlin Medal Gala as his partner.

That day, Zhang Xu learned that she had also received an invitation letter, so she had to attend the awards party as a family representative.

And according to information obtained from other sources, Scrimgeour added a deeper meaning to the awards gala.

So Scarlet had to think about it from the family's standpoint first.

According to Zhang Xu's analysis, Scrimgeoer's big deal is to hold this awards party as a party for all parties to stand in line. At that time, those who support him will stand aside, those who support Voldemort will first "send him out", and finally everyone will see the real chapter under their hands.

Zhang Xu knew that Scarlett and his family had been planning to return to the UK in the past few years, so it was up to her.

As for the partner or something, if you don't have it, you won't have it, and you don't force it anyway. If it weren't for the restrictions imposed by the Ministry of Magic, Zhang would really want to learn from Gut Blobert, the winner of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Medicine, who took 49 people to the Nobel Awards party at once.

Although the two are not partners, they are also all-round strategic partnerships at the awards party, so sometimes they have to make some moves in step to show others.

A social evening is like this, where you need to express your position between words and mannerisms.

Sometimes, under the communication of the intermediary, the representatives of the two families touch the glass and take a sip of wine, which means that the two families give the intermediary a face and begin to ease the relationship. Sometimes a few words of ridicule from a person to others means that he tells everyone that the preparations for war between them have begun, and everyone quickly chooses a side. Sometimes people from the two forces stand together and talk and laugh, and when they talk to others, they advance and retreat together, that is, they tell others that we have joined forces, and everyone who wants to make a fortune together comes over for a drink.

The various evening parties are a platform for these people to express and imply various information.

It can be predicted that tonight's party will be another place for everyone to drink and negotiate together.

I just don't know what kind of message Scrimgeour would have on such an occasion.

As for the protagonists on the Internet who feel that such a party is hypocritical and useless, it's just that the level they are at has not reached the level of understanding the function of such a party.
