Dumbledore was used to the surprises, or frightens that Zhang Xu kept bringing him.

Dumbledore was taken aback when Zhang Xu put Riddle's diary in front of him, and when Zhang Xu brought Harry to the Headmaster's office to find him to confirm that Harry was a double yolk.

A year ago, after Dumbledore knew that Voldemort's Horcruxes were all under his control, he looked back on the process and suddenly found that in dealing with Horcruxes, there was a figure of Zhang at every key node.

At this time, Dumbledore found that in this most critical and difficult level to destroy Voldemort, he seemed to have passed this level lying down except for leading the team to the cave by the sea and doing some research.

Dumbledore inevitably had some thoughts in his heart at this time: Zhang Xu was running for the Horcrux from the beginning.

In fact, the germ of this idea came when Dumbledore was investigating Horcruxes.

But what puzzled Dumbledore was how Zhang Xu knew about it.

At first, Dumbledore thought it was Mr. Zhao of the East, and then he told Zhang Xu about this.

Later, Dumbledore found out that Zhang Xu had used a time turner to play with it, and he began to wonder what Zhang Xu had seen in time travel.

So in the cave where the locket was hidden, he found an opportunity to ask Zhang Xu about the time converter, but Zhang Xu denied this question at the beginning.

As a result, Dumbledore had been puzzled by the matter. In the end, the issue could only be shelved.

After thinking about Zhang Xu, Dumbledore found that he was not the source of all these changes, he was just an executor, not an origin.

Dumbledore traced the line upwards and suddenly found that it seemed to be the origin of it all.

Because he was the one who recruited Zhang Xu from the East, and the opportunity for this matter was also when he went to China on behalf of the Ministry of Magic to negotiate the extradition of Death Eaters.

Going back further, the Death Eaters were captured to grow sugar cane because they had chased the Scarlett family to Hong Kong.

And the Death Eaters chased the Scarlet family, it was Voldemort who knew that this family was hidden and also had Slytherin blood, and in order to ensure the uniqueness of his own bloodline, Voldemort gave the Dark Devil an order to chase and kill.

And the reason why Voldemort knows the secrets of the Scarlet family is probably ...... Seem...... Probably...... Maybe...... Possible......

Dumbledore opened his eyes, a pair of blue, bright eyes looking at the cabinet where he stored too many memories......

It seems that he accidentally slipped out of his mouth when he was chatting with the then principal in the faculty lounge, and Riddle happened to push the door and come in to ask him questions......

At this time, Dumbledore's heart was like a child who had done something wrong, and the idea of destroying the evidence arose.

"I heard Zhang say that the memory of the fish is only seven seconds, and as long as these memories are channeled to the fish, they will soon disappear without a trace." Dumbledore muttered......

At the same time, by the fireplace in the common room of the Lion House, there was also a man muttering something in a low voice.

Because of the curfew tonight, the students were driven back to their dorms early by Professor McGonagall.

While looking for a prefect to be on duty in the common room tonight, Ron volunteered to take on the burden.

At Ron's repeated requests, Professor McGonagall had no choice but to give him the task.

At this time, Ron was the only one sitting in front of the fireplace facing the fire in the fireplace.

Ron felt that his head was a mess, and the news that Professor Scarlett had brought back with Ginny was not very optimistic.

The only information that can be determined now is that Harry and Zhang Xu ran away, but for some reason they failed to return to Hogwarts.

Now that Harry and the others are still missing, Dumbledore thinks that it is better for Harry and them to hide outside first, because he is worried that Voldemort will come to Hogwarts again tonight and have an assassination attempt against Harry Potter.

Ron in front of the fireplace was thinking about Ginny lying in the hospital room, and worried about Harry, who was missing, and he wanted to do something for them, but suddenly found that he couldn't do anything at the moment.

"What kind of person are you?" Ron muttered to himself in a low voice.

"They say they're not as smart as Hermione."

"They say their magic isn't strong enough for Harry."

"They say their herbology is not as good as Neville's."

"They said they were lucky to win the Triwizard Tournament, and Zhang didn't participate."

They said that they were not as good as Zhang ...... in terms of appearance and connotation Well, this one really doesn't compare to ......."

"They also say they ......"

Many students have always had some negative comments about Ron, and he is not unaware of this, but he just pretends not to care.

And at this moment, when Ron was in trouble, these negative rumors appeared in his mind one by one.

"Am I really useless?" Ron asked himself in a low voice.

"At least I did well on the Quidditch pitch." Ron found his strengths.

"But it's not a Quidditch match that decides the final outcome with the Mystic." Ron found his good qualities useless at the moment.

"Do you have the courage to help your friend when he is in danger?" A voice that Ron had never heard heard came from the flames of the fireplace.

"Of course." Ron replied subconsciously.

Ron was alert at this moment, because the fireplace flame could not speak, and now that Hogwarts was in a state of emergency, the fireplace was not connected to the Floo network.

"Maybe some ghost is joking with me." Ron thought.

Although it stands to reason that the ghosts in Hogwarts Castle will help patrol around the castle at this moment, there are always some ghosts who like to fish, and it is not without ghosts who like to play tricks on students once in a while.

"Really?" The voice in the flames said a little flirtatiously, "But I can't see it, I just see a young man sitting here in self-doubt and self-denial. ”

Ron thought about it for a moment and realized that it was similar to the Sorting Hat. It's normal for ghosts to mimic other people's voices to play tricks or scare Peeves away, so Ron doesn't have any other thoughts about it.

"You must have the courage to be confident before you have the courage to work."

This sentence popped into Ron's mind, which he had stumbled upon when he had "borrowed" Hermione's notes before, and Hermione said that it was something that Zhang Xu had said from a tree man in their country.

Later, when Ron was chatting with Zhang Xu, he also curiously asked him if the tree man became when the tree grew to a certain age, and whether the tree still blossomed and bore fruit after becoming a tree man, Zhang Xu's confused expression at that time Ron still remembers.

Ron took a deep breath and said to the flames in the fireplace, "There are always times when people feel confused about the road ahead, and there are always times when they encounter lows and setbacks. But these thorns on the road of life are not terrible, as long as you believe in yourself and muster up the courage, you can pick up the magic wand in your hand and move forward. ”

Ron did a bowl of I don't know when

Chicken soup for the soul that Zhang fed him.

After finishing this bowl of old chicken soup, Ron found that his loss just now was irrelevant, everyone has their own strengths, he doesn't have to play up his weaknesses and avoid his strengths, and find out that then playing to his strengths is what he should do.

Ron just poured himself the chicken soup and adjusted his mentality for a while.

"Really? So, let me see your courage? A voice from the fireplace suddenly said to Ron.

Ron thought that the ghost hiding in the firewood was going to jump out and scare him, but he didn't expect a sudden force to come and pull him into the fireplace.
