Chapter 348: Messy
After Zhang Xu finished lunch, his grandfather and father left.
In the parlance of their family, people can only wake up, and they don't need to be accompanied like this if they are not children.
This is all a habit developed in the years when Zhang Xu's father was a soldier, and no news from the front line is good news, not the worst news is good news.
So when Zhang Xu's situation was not the worst, the family members were relieved.
After the news of Zhang Xu's awakening spread, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit.
Among the people who came to visit Zhang Xu, in addition to the students who were rescued by Zhang Xu on the train that day, there were also many wizards who came after reading the newspaper.
In the "Prophet Daily" on the second day of the accident, a full page was devoted to the second page of the detailed report on Zhang Xu's exchange of hostages under the Drill Heart Curse. On the same day, there was a large box of condolence letters sent to St. Mungo's to Zhang Xu, and after the news of Zhang Xu's waking up spread in St. Mungo's today, many people made a special trip to comfort him.
Later, Zhang Xu, who was so annoyed, simply asked Zhang Qiu to hang up a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the wards the next day.
It was only now that Zhang Xu had time to study the newspapers of the past few days.
At that time, after letting the last hostage leave, Zhang Xu couldn't resist fainting at all, and after waking up, because there were too many people who came to condole, and everyone was afraid that he would be sad, so he didn't say much, so he didn't have a good understanding of the subsequent development of things. He only came to hear the people around him mention it, and Dumbledore arrived with a large army shortly after he fainted, and then Voldemort and Dumbledore fought in front of everyone, and Dumbledore won a move.
That's all Zhang Xu has learned so far, and the situation Zhang Qiu said is basically the same.
"Aren't you bored with me all day here?" Zhang Xu asked Zhang Qiu while looking at the newspaper.
"There's a mess in the Ministry of Magic right now." Zhang Qiu said, "My parents went to work in the ministry early in the morning and didn't come back until late at night. Cedric was even worse, he had been in the ministry for several days. ”
"Diagon Alley has been badly damaged this time, and there are still more than half of the shops that have not reopened."
"So you're here to chat with a possible Sir Merlin Order of Merlin 1st Class recipient?" Zhang Xu looked at the newspaper and said.
Zhang Xu was holding today's "Daily Prophet", and the newspaper was seriously discussing the possibility of awarding Zhang Xu the Order of the Order of the Order of the Merlin.
It can be seen from the report that Fudge, who announced that he would step down after the new Minister of Magic was confirmed, publicly stated that he would do his best to win the first-class medal of the Sir Merlin Order for Zhang Xu.
As a person with vested interests, Zhang Xu didn't bother to complain about Fudge's practice of not forgetting to find an opportunity to save his image at the last moment.
"Not only the Order of the Merlin Order of the First Degree, but you also have a good chance of appearing on the Chocolate Frog card."
The one who spoke was Percy, who walked into the hospital room with Cedric.
The "Do Not Disturb" hanging outside the door only blocks strangers, and acquaintances are not counted.
Seeing the arrival of the two, Zhang Xu didn't continue to lie on the hospital bed as a salted fish, so he got out of bed and beckoned them to come to the living room outside.
"How come the new Assistant Minister for Magic and the new Auror Chief of Staff to come to me?" Zhang Xu asked the two of them curiously.
The day after the accident, a Western journalist listed all of Fudge's actions in the past year in an article in the Daily Prophet titled "Avada's Curse Goes to the Ministry of Magic", and then came to the conclusion that Fudge was primarily responsible for the incident.
From that moment on, the countdown to Fudge's downfall went in.
After a series of open and secret battles in recent days, a new round of personnel changes in the Ministry of Magic has settled this morning, and the news will be made public until tomorrow's "Daily Prophet", and at noon, when Mrs. Weasley comes to deliver food, she will nag Zhang Xu to listen to these news.
The Minister of Magic is represented by hardliners, former Auror Chief of Staff Scrimgeur.
Then the heads of the various divisions of the Ministry of Magic did not change much, and Arthur Weasley was transferred to a newly formed department.
Cedric, the last assistant minister to the former Minister of Magic, remained in his position, and who called him the head of the department.
What is surprising is that the position of director of the Auror Office, which was vacated by Scrimgeour after becoming minister, ended up on Percy's head.
Zhang Xu can imagine how a group of people are waiting to see Percy's jokes now. A newcomer who has only been in the company for a few years to manage a group of unruly Aurors, how do you look like it will make a big mess.
So at this moment, these two guys came to visit him, how did Zhang Xu think it was wrong.
"The minister gave me a half-day off." Cedric said, "I've been busy in the ministry for days.
"So you didn't go home and take a shower first, so you came to look for Qiu like this?" Zhang Xu pretended to be surprised and said.
Then Zhang Xu turned his head and said to Zhang Qiu: "You just go out with him, I don't need anyone to take care of me now, and the woman won't stay." ”
If Zhang Xu hadn't been sick at the moment, he would definitely have been beaten.
"I'm here for you." Cedric said to Zhang Xu: "I got news from my father that it seems that many foreign dark wizards have come to England recently. ”
Zhang Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "What is this?" After the high-profile appearance of the mysterious man, did the dark wizards of Europe compete to vote? ”
Cedric apparently didn't know much about the matter, so he could only shake his head and say he didn't know.
"And what's the matter with you?" Zhang Xu asked Percy.
"On behalf of the Auror Office, I have purchased a large number of amulets from you." Percy said straight to the point.
Over the years, the effect and reputation of the Iron Charm amulets sold by Zhang Xu have been very good, and these amulets have been very popular after they spread out of Hogwarts.
Zhang Xu thought for a moment, he had other considerations in this regard, and then said to Percy: "I suggest you go and order the relevant Defense Against the Dark Arts items from the Weasley Magic Tricks, they have been researching this for a long time. ”
Hearing Zhang Xu's suggestion, the expression on Percy's face became very unnatural, while the other three people sitting on the side were watching his joke.
As a result, Zhang Xu didn't laugh for long, and the smile on his face froze.
A witch in a pink dress walks into the hospital room, and Zhang Qiu, Cedric, and Percy are chased away before they can speak.
As soon as they left the ward, Zhang Qiu and the three of them found several spells applied to the door of the ward.
At this moment, the door of the ward opposite Zhang Xu's hospital room opened, and Harry Potter was about to go out with the support of Ginny and Ron.
For a while, six people stood there looking at each other, not knowing what to say.
In the end, Zhang Qiu asked Harry, "Harry, can you get out of bed?" Where are you going? ”
Harry pointed to Zhang Xu's room and said, "I was able to get out of bed this morning, and the doctor told me to move around a little more." I'd like to go over and visit ......."
Seeing that the faces of the three people in front of him were extremely strange, he then shut up in amusement.
"He's having a very important guest right now." Cedric said to Harry very seriously.
"I think he'll stay here for a few more days because he's seriously injured, so you'll have time to visit him later." Percy followed.
"Professor Scarlett is here." Zhang Qiuyan said succinctly.
Harry and the three of them nodded in understanding, and suddenly realized that the people on the other side didn't seem to be in the same world as him.
