Chapter 390: Zhang's denial triptych
With a "bang~", the Weasleys' second flying car stopped in front of the Burrow.
The rear door opened the moment the car landed, and Mr. Granger jumped out of the car first, and then helped his wife, whose legs were shaking, out of the car. Hermione got out of the other side of the car, scrambled around the car, and grabbed her mother on the other side. With the support of her husband and daughter, Mrs. Granger walked a few steps before recovering.
The Weasleys' flying cars weren't that easy to adapt to.
The Weasleys invited the Granger family to the Burrow during this year's Christmas break, and the relationship between the two families has continued to warm up since the last time the Granger couple helped rescue Mr. Weasley, who had been bitten by Voldemort's snake.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mr. Weasley, along with the eldest and second children of the family, accompanied the Granger couple in the living room, and soon after, Blake and Lupin, who had come to accompany Harry, also came to the living room. Hermione, on the other hand, ran to the kitchen to help, as the Weasleys' third to seventh babies and Harry's and eldest and second girlfriends were all in the kitchen to help Mrs. Weasley prepare tonight's dinner.
It's just that Hermione was stunned for a while after seeing Charlie's girlfriend, she didn't expect the other party to be an acquaintance.
"We meet again, Hogwarts' smartest little witch." Tonya said to Hermione.
Hearing Tonya boast about herself, Hermione felt her face heat a little.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Tumanova." Hermione replied in surprise, "I didn't expect Charlie's girlfriend to be you." ”
"Neither did we expect that," said Cremens Percy, who was sitting on the bread, "I had heard Delacour mention her before, but it startled me to see her come back with Charlie. ”
"If only you called me Tonya like everyone else." Tonya said as she handled the tomatoes in her hand, "When Charlie came to our school to select players that day, we didn't expect to see someone we knew from so far away, and then he became my boyfriend after not drinking too much. ”
Hermione, Harry, and Ron shivered at the same time, everyone had heard of her throwing Krum on the party at the Christmas Ball, and that she often drank with Zhang Xu, and the trio had heard Zhang Xu say, "In my eyes, she smells more alcohol than lust." ”
Harry, who was handling Brussels sprouts, greeted Hermione, "Hermione, where have you been these days?" ”
"I accompanied my father and mother to the London Zoo to see the giant pandas that had just returned." Hermione excitedly said, "The giant panda was actually kidnapped when it first returned to the UK, but fortunately it was successfully rescued in less than two hours and was not injured. It only started picking up guests at the zoo after a day of rest, and the zoo's panda pavilion was packed with people that day. ”
"What's so nice about giant pandas." Ron said as he peeled the potatoes with a knife, "If you want to see it, you can see enough of it after Zhang transforms." ”
"Then can you feed fruit to the transformed Zhang?" Hermione glanced at Ron and said, "If you dare to ask him for this, I'm afraid you'll be hung on top of the Astronomy Tower by him." ”
Ron shrunk his neck and said, "Then I might as well go and let Professor Snape wash his hair, at least I can die a happy death." ”
"Maybe Jia'er and Lily can let Zhang do that." Harry continued, "Didn't we see Zhang become a giant panda and play with the two sisters that night. ”
"Who are Jia'er and Lily?" Tonya put down the tomato at some point, holding a pen and a notebook in her hand, "This news is very valuable." ”
Harry was about to explain who Garre and Lily were, but his mouth was covered by Fred, and then George said to Tonya, who was taking notes, "Maybe Professor Scarlett can do that." ”
"Professor Scarlett, this news is of little value." Tonya said as she recorded, "Are there any other girls at Hogwarts who spend a lot of time with Zhang?" ”
Harry and Ron looked at each other and decided to turn a blind eye to the issue, and if they let Zhang know that they were making a small report, the end would definitely not be much better.
Hermione glanced at Tonya, who was smiling and scribbling, and then seemed to remember something, and said, "Speaking of Professor Scarlett, I saw her at the London Zoo that day. ”
She donated £5,000 to the zoo and was allowed to take pictures of the panda for a day in the panda pavilion.
"I happened to be lucky to be planted that day, and when I went into the garden to feed the panda apples, Professor Scarlett took a lot of pictures of me and the pandas, and she said she would give them to me after school started."
"Maybe all I saw before was the transformed Zhang, but when I looked at the giant panda that day, I felt that it was very similar to the transformed Zhang, especially its expression."
"Maybe that panda is Zhang pretending," Ron said, frowning, "maybe something happened to the panda when it was kidnapped, and then they let Zhang transform into a panda to replace the panda." ”
Ron's guess fills the kitchen with cheerful laughter. Ginny threatens Ron to report the matter to someone, and Ron buys Ginny after promising a lot of benefits.
At the same time, in the box of a restaurant thousands of miles away, Zhang Xu, who was eating and chatting with a group of friends, suddenly turned his head and sneezed fiercely.
The people present tonight are basically fox friends who are familiar with each other in the circle, and none of them have brought their families, so there is no taboo for everyone to joke.
Zhao Cao, who was sitting next to Zhang Xu, said to him with a smile: "It must be the sisters-in-law who are thinking about you, it seems that we have to put Boss Zhang back in advance, otherwise the sisters-in-law will blame us and we can't afford to bear it." ”
Zhang Xu glared at him and said, "It's okay if you remove the word 'we', otherwise you have to be responsible for helping me make up for that 'we'." ”
At this time, Xu Kunqian, who was sitting opposite Zhang Xu, said: "If you want to make up for it, you don't need our help, if you are not hiding in the British Golden House, then why did you return to China three days after the start of this holiday?" ”
Zhang Xu's face changed, and he said, "This time it's because I have to perform a confidential mission, so I'll come back late." ”
"It can't have anything to do with the fact that the giant panda was kidnapped, right?" Another person at the dinner table said, "It seems like this is the right time." ”
"No, no, don't talk nonsense." Zhang Xu said with a serious face.
