After leaving the pig's head bar, Zhang Xu wandered around Hogmodri.

As he pondered whether to go for ginger and fish cakes to eat, he noticed a burst of laughter from the three-broom bar on the side of the road. Zhang, who was full of curiosity, decided to enter and join in the fun.

"I saw the Death Eater raise his wand at me, and in the middle of his spell, my stun spell had already hit him, and he fell straight to the ground."

It turned out to be a young wizard bragging in the bar, and he stood at the table in the middle of the bar with a slightly drunk face, telling his story of how much water he didn't know how much water he had mixed in.

As the fighting grew, there were quite a few Aurors like him who bragged about their skins after two glasses of wine.

The bar's guests are also happy to listen to them brag while they drink, so this is the latest entertainment at Three Broomsticks. However, what interested the guests the most was that someone blew the cowhide and was demolished by other drinkers.

The happier person is the proprietress of the bar, and when someone brags, the turnover of the store will be much higher than in the past.

As soon as Zhang Xu entered the door, he was discovered by today's braggart, and he was stunned when he looked at the door of the bar, but the drinkers who listened to his bragging looked at the door of the bar together.

The braggart Auror clearly knew Zhang Xu, and he raised his glass, then shouted, "Salute to our killed Professor Zhang." ”

The drinkers raised their glasses in the midst of laughter to pay tribute to Professor Zhang, who had been killed.

Zhang naturally wouldn't worry too much about a drunkard who drank too much, but just casually "biu" a small spell to him.

???? (=^?? ^=)????

"We learned to meow together

Meow me

Amid another laugh, the guy sang and danced in the middle of the bar.

Zhang Xu found an empty table in the corner and sat down, and then asked the proprietress for a cup with 1?? Parts of Scotch whisky、?? Parts elderflower liqueur, some hot chamomile tea and a spoonful of honey for a cocktail.

In the center of the bar, Zhang Xu, who was bragging just now and is now dancing, knows the guy Zhang Xu, his name is Brian Braddock, and he was also a student of Eagle Academy before. After graduating a few years ago, he started his own business, and it seems that he opened a research institute or something like that with a few people, helping some magic item manufacturers solve some technical problems.

But listening to what he's bragging about now, he's already joined the Aurors.

From the beginning of the all-out war last year to the present, first two large-scale anti-encirclement operations in Hogsmeade, and then a series of large and small battles, all parties involved in the war have suffered huge casualties.

For a moment, the number of Aurors in the Ministry of Magic became overstretched.

In order to replenish the staff, the Ministry of Magic had to slightly lower the threshold for admission to the Aurors, while greatly simplifying the employment training of the Aurors. Fortunately, in the past few years, Hogwarts has been going on a long line, and DA activities are in full swing, so that the level of those new Aurors is not too bad.

However, those half-baked new Aurors are usually stationed in and around their places of residence, and are used as "film police" with the help of the National Wizard Joint Defense System. Only those wizards with strong abilities will enter the main force after passing the assessment.

Now Brian Braddock is bragging about the capture of a group of Death Eaters after they received a report two days ago.

Recently, Zhang has been having a feeling of panic before danger comes.

After the last flooding of the Ministry of Magic, Voldemort didn't have any major retaliation for the rest of the time, which was enough to make people vigilant.

It's not Voldemort's character to suffer a loss and not fight back, so the Order of the Phoenix has been collecting as much information as possible to judge his next move.

However, after the news of Nagini's disappearance came out, Zhang Xu contacted the spies to enter a state of infiltration, and did not send any more information except for Voldemort himself.

After suffering so many failures due to suspected leaks, Voldemort could no longer say that he would not conduct a "loyalty investigation" internally.

Against this backdrop, Voldemort's next action will be as violent as a storm.

For Zhang, he wished that Voldemort would rush over tomorrow to start the Armageddon, so that he could call it a day and go home to get married.

The same attitude was also taken by the British, who, with the help of their friends and the British government, began to exert its strength in favor of its own side, after receiving assistance from friendly people and the British government began to exert its strength.

If we can solve the domestic problems earlier, then we can reduce the debt owed to our friends. The affection between countries often represents the exchange of interests.

As far as Zhang learned that the Ministry of Magic was planning a series of active attack plans, in order to eliminate the living forces on Voldemort's side as much as possible.

Zhang Xu, who was thinking about things, unconsciously drank all the wine in his glass, and at this time, Brian Braddock's braggart performance had ended, and the bar was a lot quieter.

After settling the bill, Zhang Xu left the Three Broomsticks Bar and walked towards the foot of the hill north of Hogsmeade.

At the foot of the mountain, about a mile from Hogsmeade, stands a large tombstone of the Aurors who had died at the Ministry of Magic since the beginning of the war.

To the south of the cemetery is a marble tablet with the names of the victims, the time of birth and death, and the place of sacrifice.

Two staff members were standing in front of the stele, one holding a palm-sized note in his left hand, and the other holding a wand in his only right hand to add new names to the stele.

On the ground next to them, flowers and wreaths were laid by visitors.

Not far from the stele was a long table filled with flowers and wreaths for visitors to mourn their loved ones, and a box in the middle of which stated that the proceeds of the donation would be used for the support of the orphans of the sacrificial Aurors and the relief of the disabled Aurors.

Zhang Xu grabbed a handful of gold coins from the money bag and threw them into the donation box, and then picked up a basketball-sized wreath and a few flowers from the side.

The two retired Aurors who had added names to the stele had already left, and Zhang Xu placed the wreath in front of the stele, and then began to silently recite the names on the stele one by one from back to front, to see if there were any new acquaintances.

There is no shortage of familiar names on the entire stone tablet, and many people who have lived together in Hogwarts have been buried in the cold cemetery behind.

Not long after, Zhang Xu sighed deeply, looked at the flowers in his hand and saw that there were not enough flowers, and after taking two more on the long table, he walked towards the depths of the cemetery.
