An owl fluttered into the three broomstick bars, spotted its target, spread its wings and prepared to land on the table. Then it was struck by a spell and stopped in mid-air.

Zhang Xu, who kept the wine and snacks on the table, reached out and grabbed the owl that was about to fall to the ground, and then untied the letter on its leg.

Percy, who had been bragging just now, raised his eyebrows after seeing the owl clearly, and realized that things were not simple.

"This is the owl of the Ministry of Magic in London." Cedric, who was at the same table, also recognized the owl.

"I wrote to Minister Malfoy yesterday asking if I could buy a position in the Ministry of Magic that pays more, does less work, or even doesn't have to work." Zhang Xu said while opening the parchment letter, "It seems that there is news now." ”

"Or let's take him and get his reward."

"I think I'll just dig a 100-foot deep pit and bury him."

"That's a good idea, do you think it's better to dig a round pit or a square pit?"

"It's easier to be round."

Zhang Xu ignored Percy and Cedric, who were talking badly about themselves with black faces, and opened the letter and spread it flat on the table.

"Mr. Zhang:

No, get out!

Signed: Lucius Malfoy, Minister of Magic......"

This is the only thing on the parchment.

Percy and Cedric looked at each other, and then couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Xu put away the parchment and said helplessly: "Look, the Minister of Magic over there really doesn't know how to do business and doesn't have a sense of service." How can there be such a practice of driving away distinguished guests, and I can't afford to pay. If I were him, I would have set up a few places for guests to pick and choose from, which looked glamorous and didn't actually have the slightest right to choose. You have to get the money for everything first. ”

"So which position do you want to buy?" Percy asked, laughing.

"Actually, I didn't think about it." Zhang Xu picked up his wine glass and said, "It turns out that I plan to wait for the other side to agree, and ask the two of you, which department in the Ministry of Magic has more oil and water." ”

"As far as I know, the department with the most oil and water has been sold." Cedric said, "I heard that there were several people who auctioned it, and the one with the highest bid bought it. ”

"Oh, what's the position?" Zhang Xu asked.

Cedric pointed at Percy and said, "The Auror Office." ”

"Hiss......" Zhang Xu's eyes widened in surprise, "No, this position will actually be sold?" ”

"Actually, their position is useless." Cedric said, "Do you expect the Death Eaters who pay to become an Auror in order to brag about their face, to obey the command of another wizard who is also trying to save face, but who has more money than them?" ”

"That's right, why don't I write another letter and ask if I can sell me an Auror position." Zhang Xu knocked on the table and said to Cedric seriously, "You see, even a person like Percy can be the head of the Auror office, and it should be no problem for me to be an Auror." ”

"Hey, do you want to be an Auror, Zhang?" At this time, a female voice rang out from the side, "Long time no see, Weasley, Diggory." ”

"Hey, McGonagall, do you know Zhang?" Percy's gaze kept sweeping between Maggie McGonagall and Zhang Xu.

Cedric was equally surprised, and he and Percy had weird smiles on their faces.

After Maggie pulled an empty stool and sat down next to Zhang Xu, she said to Percy: "I only met Zhang not long ago, and I made an appointment with him today to talk about some of the content of my work." ”

Zhang Xu pinched his fingers on the side and calculated, with the age difference between him and Maggie, it was not surprising that Maggie knew Percy and Cedric before graduating from Hogwarts, especially since Percy and she were both from the Lion Academy.

"Actually, you can talk to Percy too." "The story he's been through now is just as exciting. ”

"yes." Zhang Xu agreed, "He participated in the rescue of Professor Bubaji who was kidnapped by the Death Eaters, and Professor Bubaji is still being treated at St. Mungo's after being rescued. Not long ago, he participated in the rescue of Ollivander, who was later rescued with more than 30 fractures in his body. ”

If Percy hadn't felt that he was completely sure that he would win against the guy in front of him, he would have sneaked back to Hogwarts in the middle of the night to trap him in a sack and beat him with a stick.

"Hey, Ollivander was rescued by you?" Maggie asked in surprise, "Then you'll have to talk to me when you have time." ”

"Let him continue now." Zhang Xu said, "He kept bragging to us about it just now." ”

The biggest news in the Daily Prophet today is the news that Ollivanders has reappeared and is being treated at St. Mungo's Hospital.

Zhang Xu took advantage of Hogsmeade Week to invite Percy and Cedric out for a drink and brag, and Percy had been boasting that he had played an extremely important role in the operation.

Since the basement of Voldemort's new address was not suitable for prisoners after the burning of Majiazhuang, he scattered the captured wizards and locked them up elsewhere.

Knowing the secrets of the Elder Wand, Voldemort lost interest in Ollivander and found a random base to imprison him.

And Ollivanders is worthy of the world's most famous wand master in Europe, when people are imprisoned and do not have a wand, he makes a barely usable wand from the bed leg in the cell and his own hair, and then leans on it to send a distress signal.

Then the Ministry of Magic, which couldn't spare manpower for a while, asked for support from the "Rainbow Squad".

According to Percy, the whole rescue process was very thrilling, and at the last moment, several Death Eaters took Ollivander and several other hostages in a room and resisted stubbornly, and Percy had to blast the walls of the room to break into the room to save people.

It's just that the hapless Ollivander happened to be sitting against that wall.

After Percy finished bragging, Zhang Xu asked Maggie: "Didn't you say that we would meet in the afternoon, why did you come so early?" ”

"Our family moved to Hogsmeade some time ago." Maggie replied.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xu asked strangely.

"There were too few wizards in the area where our family lived to keep the Death Eaters at bay, so we moved here temporarily." Maggie said, "Fortunately, my aunt knew a lot of acquaintances here, so we were able to rent a house." ”

Zhang Xu looked at Cedric, Cedric knew what Zhang Xu wanted to ask, so he said, "Things are the same as you expected, and the situation is worse than you expected." ”
