Chapter 394 The best way to solve a problem is to leave it to someone else to solve

(;  ̄д ̄)♨(º.º; )

Dumbledore looked up from the meditation basin and sat behind his desk for half an hour.

He couldn't help but have a headache now, and even the balls that hadn't been used for I don't know how many years were painful.

At this moment, he even wanted to put an amnesia spell on himself and Zhang Xu, so that everyone could forget about this matter together, so that he could ignore this matter.

I knew that I was not in the office just now and didn't let Zhang Xu in.

It's a pity that whether it is the wizarding world or the Muggle society, there is no regret about selling the medicine, otherwise he would definitely buy several catties at a time and come back to eat it.

Dumbledore's pet phoenix looked at the two men in a daze, not knowing what they were doing, so he lowered his head and repaired the nails on his paws.

Also puzzled by the situation are the headmasters in the oil paintings on the walls, who are all quietly pretending to be their ordinary oil paintings at the moment, but they are all paying attention to Dumbledore's every move.

The entire office was immersed in an eerie silence as a backdrop of the ticking sound of the magical objects on the shelves and cabinets in the headmaster's office.

In the end, it was Dumbledore who broke the silence and said, "Zhang, what are you going to do with this matter?" ”

Zhang Xu, who was sitting across from Dumbledore's desk, was still confused, although he had thought that this would happen when he first got on the Hogwarts Slow Train six years ago and met his first classmate, he never imagined that this would end up on his own head.

After hearing Dumbledore's question, Zhang Xu's face turned straight and said solemnly: "For this matter, my approach is to hand it over to His Excellency the Headmaster to solve." ”

( ̄Д ̄≡ ̄Д ̄)

For the first time in so many years, Zhang Xu saw Dumbledore shaking his head so hard, and his long beard trembled.

Then Lao Deng said: "He handed over this problem to you to solve, and that was because he trusted you, so you should solve it." ”

"No, no, no!" Zhang Xu shook his head while waving his hand, "In Europe, Your Excellency's reputation is much better than mine, and Your Excellency's wisdom and connections are beyond my reach, so this matter is still up to Your Excellency." ”

The principals on the wall in the principal's office just looked at the two people in front of them, one old and one young, playing table tennis in order to push off something. It's just that these headmasters are very puzzled, what is the trouble caused by Zhang Xu, even Dumbledore finds it so tricky. It's just that the two parties present didn't say a word about the content of this matter, and all the communication was solved by that meditation basin.

This matter is too sensitive, Zhang Xu has to be so cautious, if one is not handled well, it will be a devastating blow to his cooperation with Dumbledore. So Zhang Xu didn't explain this to Dumbledore in words, but directly let him watch a "movie" that took place in a coffee shop on the banks of the Thames.

After watching the "movie", Dumbledore was no less shocked than Zhang Xu, one of the protagonists, because what happened in it was something he hadn't expected for so many years.

The two of them talked to each other for more than half an hour, and found that the other party did not have a trace of loosening, so they simply put this matter on hold for now, and there was still a lot of time to solve it later.

Zhang Xu regained his memory and left the principal's office, deciding not to think about this issue until the end of the college entrance examination.

It's the day the students at Hogwarts are returning from the holidays, but most of them are sharing stories from their classmates in the common room of their house, and there is almost no one in the hallway.

Of course, Peeves who was setting a trap for an armor standing in the hallway wasn't human.

In the empty hallway, Peeves set traps dance around them, and then wait for Filch to be startled by the falling armor as he passes by.

Just then, Peeves heard a voice that scared him.

"Peeves, did you patrol the secret passages today?"

Peeves immediately rushed to Zhang Xu, who was at the other end of the corridor, saluted Zhang Xu, and said, "I'll go now, Mr. Zhang." ”

Now the secret passages that enter Hogwarts have been set up by Dumbledore and Zhang Xu many traps waiting for the Death Eaters to step in again, but the inspection of those secret passages has become a big problem.

So Zhang Xu made it a condition to allow Peeves to play pranks as he did before, and asked him to check the traps in those secret passages every night for signs of being touched.

After Peeves left, Zhang Xu didn't care about the armor in the corridor that he had tampered with, turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, Zhang Xu heard the sound of a girl humming a song from the stairs, and he could hear from the song that the girl was quite happy.

More than half an hour later, Zhang Xu and Scarlet, who were about to fight, were called to the school infirmary by Dumbledore.

Seeing Hermione lying unconscious on the bed, both of them were startled.

"What happened to Granger?" Scarlett asked.

Professor McGonagall said worriedly, "Filch heard a loud noise in the hallway, and when he rushed over, he found Miss Granger unconscious in the hallway. ”

"Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley said she left the common room to find Ms. Scarlett."

("Actually, you can call me Miss.") Someone whispered. )

"Dumbledore asked about the portrait near that hallway, and it should have been Mr. Zhang who had passed through that corridor before that."

"So you know any clues?"

Scarlet looked at the paper bag on the bedside table in the hospital bed and said, "I told Granger to come to me to get some information when school started." ”

Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore looked at each other, they had just looked at the paper bag full of math papers, and considering Hermione's habit of asking the professor for extra tutoring, it was correct.

Then the vice principal looked at Zhang Xu, who might have been present at the time, and saw that he was pinching his brows at the moment, with a splitting headache.

"Do you know something, Zhang?" Dumbledore asked, frowning.

Zhang Xu nodded, and drew his wand to call Peeves.

Peeves appeared in the hospital room a few minutes later, and he said to Dumbledore, "After my examination, everything is normal underground. ”

Zhang Xu ignored his inspection report and said to him, "Peeves, tell me what happened before you went underground to inspect just now. ”

Peeves had already seen Hermione lying on the hospital bed at this time, and then looked at the battle in front of him, and knew that he was in trouble.

Peeves yelled, "I just wanted that armor to smash Filch!" Then he ran through the wall in a puff of smoke.

"But she has the marks of being hit by the Unconscious Charm." Madam Pomfrey, who had been standing beside Hermione's bedside, said.

"Maybe it's the magic spell on those armor that bounces." Zhang Xu said with a wry smile.

"What's that?" Madam Pomfrey asked.

At this time, Dumbledore explained to her, "The armor in the castle has recently been upgraded, one of the functions is to reflect the evil spell that hit it, and it also has the function of automatically restoring itself when it falls to the ground and scatters. ”

Then Dumbledore looked around at the people present, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It seems that this is the case, Miss Granger was passing by the armor when she was moved by Peeves's armor and fell to her. ”

"Then Miss Granger, who didn't have time to see that it was the armor that was falling towards her, thought that she had been attacked, and cast a stun spell on the armor with her wand, only to be hit by the spell that bounced back."

"We only have to look at the final spell of Miss Granger's wand to see if that's the case."

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Professor McGonagall picked up Hermione's wand next to the paper bag on the bedside table, and then raised her own wand with her other hand, buttling the two wands together.

Hermione's wand erupted in a pattern of silvery-white mist, and Professor McGonagall confirmed that the last spell used on Hermione's wand was the Stun Charm.

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "It seems that this was an accident caused by Peeves' pranks, not an invasion of Hogwarts. ”

"That's good." "I'm also afraid that someone will enter Hogwarts disguised as a student returning from school. ”

Not long after, Hermione woke up from the potion that Madam Pomfrey had poured down.

After a brief questioning and an answer consistent with his reasoning, Dumbledore was kicked out of the hospital room by Madam Pomfrey.
