When night falls and the half-moon creeps up, the Weasleys throw a dinner party in the garden.

Mrs. Weasley, who had been in a state of extreme excitement lately, made a large table of delicious food to welcome her cousin from all the way to the United States.

Mrs. Weasley's aunt went to the United States when she was young, where she later married and settled. Mrs. Adams, who had changed her surname after marriage, had returned to England every year or two to visit her sister and her three nephews, Gideon, Fabian and Molly. Later, Mrs. Adams brought her daughter to England, and Molly and her cousin from the United States became very good playmates. And the last time the two of them saw each other was when Bill was just born.

Now Bill is a little confused, and the aunt in front of him, who is comparing with Cremansy when she was born, and looks about the same age as herself, is not much younger than her mother.

Are the current aunts so unold? Bill thought as he looked at one of the empty seats left at the table.

On the other side of the table, the young people also chatted.

The young man brought with her aunt was one of her nephews in the United States, and Aunt Adams brought him to England to attend Bill and Charlie's wedding so that he could see the country where his grandfather had lived.

The Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry student was clearly interested in Hogwarts, which often appeared in his grandfather's mouth, as well as his grandfather's classmate Dumbledore, and eight out of ten sentences were asking questions of Harry Potter, who had a relationship with him at Easter. It was only after mentioning Dumbledore several times that he noticed that Harry's expression was not good, and then he turned the conversation to Hogwarts campus life.

Harry and the others were also very interested in this new friend, and everything about Ilvermorny was very new to them. What intrigued them the most was the new friend named Rove Scamander, whose grandfather was Newt Scamander, the author of the textbook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", which they used in their conservation of magical creatures class.

Thanks to his family's influence, Rove Scamander's knowledge of magical beasts is somewhat beyond that of his peers.

Well, it's normal research, not someone's kind of research.

Not long after the young people's conversation turned to the magical beasts of the American continent, when Rove was talking about the Thunderbird in North America, Hermione suddenly remembered something and asked, "Can the Thunderbird's tail feathers be used to make a wand?" I remember that the core of one of Zhang's wands was the Thunderbird tail feathers. ”

"That's right, wands that use the Thunderbird's tail feathers as the core of the wand are very powerful, but they are difficult to master, and such wands are suitable for transfiguration." Rov answered Hermione's question and asked, "Miss Granger, is the Zhang you are talking about Zhang Xu, one of the players on the Quidditch team at Hogwarts last year?" Why didn't I see him at this year's Tri-School Quidditch tournament in Durmstrang? ”

"He had important things to attend to, and he took a leave of absence before Easter." Harry said with a bit of a flicker, "It makes sense he'd be here this afternoon, but he didn't show up in the evening. By the way, that Miss Delacour over there is Zhang's fiancée. ”

With that, Harry pointed to Fleur, who was chatting with the middle-aged women on the other side of the table.

The Order of the Phoenix only told Harry about some kind of deal between Zhang Xu and Voldemort last night, and he didn't tell Ron and Hermione about it.

However, Rove set his eyes on Gabrielle, who was sulking because Zhang Xu had not appeared for a long time, and said in surprise: "Why is Mr. Zhang's fiancée so young, Miss Delacour is not yet twelve years old." ”

"That little Miss Delacour is the sister of Zhang's fiancée." Harry said with a smile.

At this moment, the gate of the Burrow's courtyard was opened, and three figures entered.

"Sorry, I'm late." Zhang Xu greeted the crowd around the table in the garden, "If it weren't for Professor Lupin's help, I wouldn't be here." ”

After politely hugging Mrs. Weasley, who had come to welcome Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu came to the table with Scarlett and Lupin and sat down.

After rubbing Gabrielle's face, Zhang Xu just took the dinner handed by Mrs. Weasley, and at the same time greeted Aunt Adams and Rolf Scamander, whom Mrs. Weasley introduced to him, and the two of them were the two American visitors that Zhang Xu had seen at breakfast this morning.

Harry, who reacted at this time, asked, "Zhang, why did you call Lupin a professor just now?" ”

"Professor Lupin, say it yourself." Zhang Xu said to Lu Ping, who was taking over dinner.

Lupin said with a happy face, "This afternoon, the new Headmaster of Hogwarts has decided to hire me again as a Defence Against the Dark Arts class. ”

Those who had taken Lupin's class all applauded.

After the applause subsided a little, Zhang Xu added: "Professor Lupin is also the new dean of Gryffindor House, you Gryffindors should be careful. ”

"So who's the new headmaster?" Hermione asked immediately.

"It's me." Zhang Xu replied.

The dining table suddenly fell silent, and a group of people looked at Zhang Xu in amazement.

"Really?" Ron asked, incredulously.

"Of course it's fake." Zhang Xu spread his hands and replied.

Then Zhang Xu was collectively despised by a group of people.

"And is the new headmaster Professor McGonagall?" Harry asked.

"That's right." This time, Zhang Xu was not funny, and replied seriously, "It turns out that the Ministry of Magic plans to parachute a headmaster over, but not long after the meeting, the school board sent a message that Professor McGonagall was the next headmaster. After some owl letters, the Ministry of Magic had to agree with the school board's decision. ”

"And who's the new Transfiguration professor?" Hermione asked, "Could it be you again?" ”

Zhang Xu shook his head and said, "Don't want me to change your homework for you anymore!" ”

At this point, Lupin said to Hermione, "The new Transfiguration professor is Sirius. ”

The next moment, Harry jumped for joy.

And Fred, who was sitting opposite Zhang Xu, whispered to Zhang Xu: "You have to be careful, don't sneak out of the dormitory at night." After speaking, he glanced at Scarlet, who was sitting a little sullenly on the other side of Zhang Xu.

Feeling the pain pinched on his soft underbelly through Gabrielle's outstretched hand, Zhang Xu made Fred grow donkey ears with a spell.
