Now that the students of Hogwarts are on the train, if Voldemort's railroad guerrillas attack the train, maybe Harry Potter would be cold by now.

There were no students in the castle, so the professors' lunches were basically delivered to their offices or dormitories, with only a few professors running to the kitchen to eat.

Zhang Xu walked into the kitchen, found Dobby, asked him to prepare the dough that had woken up, and then asked him to roll the dough on the side.

Then Zhang Xu took out the prepared ten catties of fine meat and cut it finely to make a squirrel.

After the seeds are cut, put them in a pot, put in the processed shrimp and shiitake mushrooms, add seasonings, sesame oil, etc., and stir well.

After Dobby rolled the dumpling wrappers, Zhang Xu wrapped the dumplings with Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, and Professor Snape.

(丿°Д°)丿┻━┻

What's going on with this weird painting style!

Harry Potter fans over there will cry and beat themselves to death when they see this scene!

If they saw the cold-faced Professor Snape skillfully taking the meat filling and pinching the dumpling skin, would they go crazy because of the shattered three views?

Zhang Xu himself was also very devastated.

As the saying goes, if you don't eat dumplings at the beginning of school, you will have fewer test scores.

Seeing that lunch time had not yet arrived, I ran to the kitchen on a whim to get some dumplings for lunch, and then went back to sleep until the start of the school dinner.

As a result, when Zhang Xu was chopping the meat filling, first Dumbledore, and then the four deans, came to the kitchen one after another to watch him inhumanely.

If he knew it would be like this, he went back to the dormitory to eat instant noodles.

It was also an accident that Zhang Xu was bumped into in the kitchen by a group of school leaders today, because of his new colleagues who had come to Hogwarts with Fudge this morning, Dumbledore decided to find an informal place to gather a small meeting of the school leadership team to ventilate.

Some things are not good to say in the principal's office, in which case they will be regarded as the principal giving orders to everyone.

If you change places, for example, the school leadership team chats while making dumplings in the kitchen, some things cannot be investigated afterwards whether the principal gave the order or the grassroots cadres made their own decisions.

So, Zhang Xu was so inexplicably involved.

"We're welcoming a new colleague today." Dumbledore said as he wrapped the dumplings, "The Ministry of Magic has appointed Dolores Umbridge, Deputy Minister of Magic, to be the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts in the new year. ”

"An appointment from the Ministry of Magic?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Yes," Dumbledore said, "the Ministry of Magic passed the Education Order XXII on August 30, ensuring that if the current Headmaster is unable to provide a candidate for a particular position, the Ministry will recommend a suitable candidate. ”

The brows of the four deans furrowed.

Anyone who can become the dean is not stupid, and he quickly understands the intentions of the Ministry of Magic.

Hogwarts has in fact always been outside the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, which has wanted to reach into Hogwarts for many years, but has been blocked by successive headmasters.

Back then, the basilisk incident was quite big, and the Ministry of Magic just sent two Aurors over for a walk, not because they didn't want to send someone to open a "campus police station", but because Dumbledore blocked back.

Later, Sirius Black escaped from prison, and the Ministry of Magic once again tried to use security to reach into the Hogwarts campus, only to be held outside the school walls by Dumbledore again.

At the end of last school year, after Dumbledore revealed the video of Voldemort's return, the Ministry of Magic stepped up its efforts to interfere with Hogwarts, taking advantage of the fact that no one dared to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts at the last minute, and passed Education Order 22.

When the Order of the Phoenix held a meeting a while ago, Zhang Xu proposed to Dumbledore that Black should simply be the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor and not give the Ministry of Magic a chance, and Black also agreed to this proposal at that time.

But in the end, Dumbledore still vetoed the proposal, the curse of this position was too strong, and even the old Deng was a little cowardly, and he didn't dare to put Blake in this position, in case Blake folded in this position, it would be a lot of fun.

Later, Zhang Xu proposed that Snape be the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor and another Potions professor, but Dumbledore rejected the proposal again for the same reason.

As a result, this gave the Ministry of Magic an opportunity.

"Hopefully she'll be a little higher than Professor Gilderoy Lockhart." Zhang Xu said.

Except for Dumbledore's face that was a little dark, the other four professors all laughed.

It can only be said that Lockhart was so well disguised back then that even Dumbledore fell in love.

Zhang Xu, who knew what kind of urine the new professor was, was already wondering if he was going to tear off the cover of this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook and wrap it in other books.

"I'm afraid that the new professor won't be able to teach the students in peace." Professor McGonagall sneered.

"It's inevitable," Zhang Xu entered the "prophet" mode, "first to become a professor in Hogwarts, and then through the Ministry of Magic to formulate various targeted regulations, on the one hand, to restrict the various actions of the students, and at the same time to censor and purge the professors." ”

As soon as Zhang Xu finished speaking, Dumbledore and the four professors stopped making dumplings in their hands and looked at him in unison.

"Zhang, you see this better than us, tell me what do you think she will do?" Professor Flitwick said.

The dean had an order, and Zhang Xu naturally did not dare to disobey it.

Zhang Xu put down a freshly wrapped dumpling, sorted out his thoughts for a moment, and then said, "Let's look at the goals of the Ministry of Magic first, and then extrapolate the actions they will take from their goals." ”

"The Ministry's biggest goal is to take full control of Hogwarts, and the biggest obstacle preventing them from achieving this goal at the moment is Professor Dumbledore."

"In the past two months, the Ministry of Magic has spared no effort to smear Professor Dumbledore in public opinion, and has caused the professor to lose a lot of important work, all in preparation for the removal of the professor from the position of head of Hogwarts."

"So Umbridge's most important task is to find the 'incriminating evidence' that can drive Professor Dumbledore away."

The four deans nodded and agreed with Zhang Xu's opinion.

"What incriminating evidence can Professor Dumbledore have?" Professor Sprout asked, frowning.

"I don't know." Zhang Xu replied, "But the Minister of Magic, Fudge, has always been very afraid that the Professor will take his place, and perhaps they will find clues that the Professor has organized an army in the school to attack the Ministry of Magic. ”

Listening to Zhang Xu's words, the four deans and Dumbledore all smiled in unison, and even the corners of Snape's mouth, who had been cold-faced, curled slightly.

"They're worried about Professor Dumbledore, they're better worried about you." Professor Flitwick hit the nail on the head, "If there is an army in Hogwarts, you built it all by yourself, Zhang." ”

"Actually, I'm a little worried," Zhang Xu said, "whether the Defense Association will be considered 'Dumbledore's Army' by them." ”

Except for Dumbledore, who remained calm, the four deans were stunned for a moment, and they realized that it was really possible to be interpreted by the Ministry of Magic in this way.

".'s activities?" Professor McGonagall said with a frown.

"It doesn't matter," Zhang Xu replied, "I can find someone to carry this matter down." ”

Except for Snape, who had a little cramp at the corner of his mouth, the other three Deans and Dumbledore all looked at Zhang Xu curiously, trying to figure out who he planned to find to carry the pot.

It's just that Zhang Xu sold it first, just shook his head, and didn't say the name of that person.

Meanwhile, on the train to Hogwarts, Malfoy's classmates, who were arguing with Harry, sneezed loudly, and Harry took the opportunity to lose a round.

"In addition to Professor Dumbledore, Umbridge will also be against other professors." Zhang Xu continued, "As a leader, there will definitely be a few of his own henchmen. So Umbridge will definitely find an opportunity to fire a few professors, and then let the Ministry of Magic arrange for his own people. ”

"For example, if you use classroom evaluations and give grades to professors, professors who fail will be dismissed."

As soon as Zhang Xu's words fell, the four deans were stunned again, and Snape used his hand to pinch the dumplings in his hand.

Among the professors he was a professor, Snape had been a Death Eater before, and he had a point in his own mind about what his students were, so he was the easiest to target.

"None of the professors in this room are a problem," Zhang Xu said, "and I think the most worrying ones are Professor Hagrid, Professor Trelawney and myself." ”

Dumbledore, who had not spoken, let out an "um" at this point, and then stopped talking.

Hagrid was his confidant, and Trelawney was very important, so Dumbledore would naturally be prepared to deal with it.

"Aside from the professor, all that's left for Umbridge is to discipline the students." Zhang Xu continued.

"Recently, I got word from the Ministry of Magic that the Ministry of Magic seems to be unhappy with students learning combat skills. Just like when we defeated the basilisk and fought off the werewolves, this is not allowed by the Ministry of Magic. ”

"So for students, it's nothing more than restricting students' activities through various rules and regulations, and then reviewing the various activities in the school, and only through Umbridge's approved organizations can continue to exist."

"In this way, such organizations and activities can only be disbanded and ceased to operate."

"Maybe she'll also prohibit boys and girls from being less than five to eight inches apart." Finally, Zhang Xu shrugged his shoulders and said.

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, the deans fell silent.

It's a little tricky.

"So what do we do?" Professor McGonagall asked, looking at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore didn't answer, just looked at Zhang Xu.

The other professors followed Dumbledore to Zhang Xu.

After all, none of the professors wanted to have such a-stirring stick in Hogwarts, so everyone would be unhappy.

But the professors are not good at such things as the Ministry of Magic, so they all hope that Zhang Xu can come up with ideas.

Zhang Xu understood what Dumbledore meant, after all, against the Ministry of Magic, he said it and Zhang Xu said it was two different things.

So Zhang Xu thought for a while and said; "Heaven wants to die, and it will make it mad."

"Professors, don't fight against her, I'll get everyone moving."

Out of trust in Zhang Xu, neither the dean nor the principal said anything, they all knew that Zhang Xu was measured in his actions.

After unifying their thoughts, Dobby brought up all the cooked dumplings, and everyone began to eat lunch with stale vinegar.
