Five minutes to go, at 3pm, in a villa ten minutes' drive from the University of Liverpool, the hostess was in the kitchen making final preparations for tea time, which would begin in a moment.

Looking out of the kitchen window, it was a rare sunny and breezy day, and the hostess saw her son put the last chair at the round table in the garden, and then hurried towards the house.

In less than a minute, the hostess heard her son's voice ringing at the kitchen door, "Mom, are the snacks ready?" ”

"Don't worry, Michael." The hostess smiled and said to her somewhat anxious son, "It's all ready, be careful not to fall." ”

"No, Mom." Michael said in a proud tone, "I won't fall even if I carry the ball at the same time." ”

With that, Michael picked up the plates with snacks on the cupboard and walked out of the kitchen.

After watching her son leave, the hostess sighed, wondering if it would be a blessing or a curse for her son, who had aspired to be a football superstar since childhood, to go to a school called Hogwarts.

Four months ago, after returning from watching Liverpool's Premier League game against Wimbledon, my son, who had always loved football and had a strong performance in the school football league, immediately fell in love with the youngest player and youngest goalscorer in the club's history.

Later, at a Liverpool FC open house, the son was given an autographed photo with his idol.

However, one day in July, an owl soaring into the sky disrupted the family's peaceful life.

After some panic, surprise and correspondence with owls, the family finally comes to terms with the fact that the world has magic and that their son is a wizard.

However, the family, who still had concerns, did not make a final decision on their son's future until two days before the start of school, and later they wrote a letter to the headmaster of Hogwarts, hoping that the school would send a teacher to the house to let everyone know everything about the wizarding world, and then asked the owl who was "on duty" in their garden to send the letter away.

One morning before school starts, the owl arrives with a letter that a guest from Hogwarts will be visiting the Owen family at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Half a minute before three o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Owen and her son were in the garden preparing their afternoon tea, and Mr. Owen, dressed as if he were about to go to negotiate a billion-pound deal with an important client, was ready behind the door.

When the second hand of Mr. Owen's watch jumped to "X.II.", the doorbell rang punctually.

Mr. Owen took a deep breath to relax himself, then made the patterned friendly, confident expression he was about to negotiate with clients in the financial city on the east side of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, and finally opened the door.

When he opened the door, Mr. Owen was shocked, but after years of duty, he regained his expression in an instant.

Knowing that there was a guest today, the family was speculating whether the guest who had come this afternoon was a wizard in scruffy robes, or a ghost, a giant, or a panda like the one that appeared in Dumbledore's Biography and Hogwarts Tea Time.

However, to Mr. Owen's surprise, there was now a yellow man wearing a neat suit, dressed and temperamental, just like those young and successful rich N generations in the financial city. For a moment, he thought it was a client at work who had come to visit him.

"Hello, Mr. Owen." Zhang Xu didn't mind the other party's reaction, what he minded was Professor Flitwick who asked him to run errands instead of him, "I'm a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Zhang Xu. ”

Mr. Owen reacted quickly, and as an account manager for a financial company, he had no shortage of experience dealing with Orientals.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, welcome."

After a brief greeting and handshake, Mr. Owen took Zhang Xu to the back garden, followed by a greeting with Mrs. Owen and Michael, and then the four of them sat down.

"Michael, I brought you some small gifts." Zhang Xu took out a large box from the pocket of his suit and handed it to Michael.

Michael, who looked a little restrained, took the box handed by Zhang Xu, and after reading the words on the box clearly, a surprised expression appeared on his face in an instant.

"Is this the chocolate frog?" Michael asked.

The Owen couple also looked at Zhang Xu curiously.

"That's right, it's the Chocolate Frog." Zhang Xu nodded and replied.

Michael carefully opened the box, then took out a small pentagonal box inside, and then opened it with a nervous face.

The next moment, a chocolate-made frog jumped out of the box and landed on the edge of Michael's teacup.

"It's really going to jump out!" Michael said excitedly.

"It's amazing!" Mr. Owen sighed.

"This is a field frog." Mrs. Owen said very seriously.

Zhang Xu looked at Mrs. Owen in surprise, he had eaten the chocolate frog for so many years, and only now did he know which kind of frog the prototype was.

After Lady Owen noticed Zhang Xu's surprised gaze, she smiled and said to him, "I am a professor of animal science research and amphibians at the University of Liverpool. ”

Seeing Zhang Xu nodding to herself, the thought of "it turns out that wizards are not omniscient" rose in Mrs. Owen's heart, and the original nervous feeling suddenly disappeared a lot.

"Picture...... Picture ...... "Michael, who has made up the comics, takes out a picture of the wizard from the box of the chocolate frog.

"It's Albus Dumbledore!" Michael excitedly held up the picture in his hand to show it to everyone.

After the episode brought by the chocolate frog, everyone began to get to the point.

"What role does Mr. Zhang hold at Hogwarts?" Mr. Owen asked first.

Zhang Xu straightened his expression, and then replied, "I am a seventh-year student at Hogwarts Ravenclaw House, and I am also the acting professor of Muggle Studies. ”

At breakfast today, news came from St. Mungo's Hospital that Professor Carreddy Bubbaghi, who had been injured during the hostage rescue operation, had not recovered, so Professor McGonagall told her to rest, and then Zhang Xu returned to his life of changing homework every night.

"So you're going to be teaching at the same time as you're going to be teaching?" Mrs. Owen then asked. She's also a professor, so she's a little quicker than others in this regard.

"Yes." Zhang Xu replied, "Because Professor Khairedi Bubaji is ill, I will replace her with all teaching tasks for the next year. ”

The Owen couple glanced at each other, and then nodded to each other invisibly, it seems that Hogwarts is not just looking for a cat or dog to send over.

"It's hard work, isn't it?" Mrs. Owen asked.

"yes." Zhang Xu sighed, "Especially when changing homework." ”

Mrs. Owen nodded in agreement.

"So is that the giant panda in the comics who teaches students a lesson?" Michael asked suddenly.

Zhang Xu grinned on his face, and then nodded.
