In the early morning of 1 July 1997, the reunification ceremony was over, and the people celebrating the reunification and welcoming the Hong Kong Garrison on the streets dispersed. The breeze is blowing, and you can still smell a little smoke from fireworks burning in the air.

In the open-air bar on the roof of the hotel, a waiter behind the bar with a large tip looked at the young customers who were sitting alone in their seats drinking with great spirits.

The hotel's open-air bar is not as open all night as the bar in Lan Kwai Fong, but there are still plenty of people who are willing to stay and work overtime if they are willing to pay more.

As a senior waitress at the bar, Li Qiao has seen too many guests who drink all night, perhaps to celebrate something happy all night, or to use wine to drown their sorrows when life is rough, or to need a quiet place to make some important decisions in life.

For example, the restaurant downstairs was chartered by a group of gray-haired elderly people tonight, and I heard that some of them had experienced the era of the signing of the "Special Clause on the Extension of Hong Kong Boundaries".

Before Li Qiao came to Hong Kong from Guangzhou to work hard, she had heard many stories about people who could live for more than 100 years.

Just as she yawned, another waiter came out of the back kitchen and placed a plate of peanuts and dried fish on the table where the only guests were.

After Li Xiaojun put the snacks away, he returned to the back of the bar, did it next to Li Qiao, and asked if his wife was sleepy, and if she would like to go to the back kitchen to rest first. Li Qiao shook his head and refused his kindness, those who take the money must have professional ethics and can't be lazy.

The bar arranges a chef to play a guest role as a waiter, Li Xiaojun and Li Qiao, the husband and wife, not because they are afraid that the guests will be unfavorable to Li Qiao when there is no one or something. The main reason is that Li Xiaojun has a lot of strength, and if there is a guest who is drunk and can't think about it, he can pull the guest back.

However, the two of them were slightly relieved that the young guest did not look like he was drinking to drown his sorrows. Judging from the way he looked at his phone on the table from time to time, it looked more like he was waiting for something important.

As a financial and commercial city, it is not uncommon for people to wait for news worth millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, and there was once a customer in the bar who lost a business of nearly 10 million yuan because his mobile phone was out of battery.

After that incident, the bar always had a few fully charged power banks in case of emergency.

Li Qiao looked at the time and estimated that the power of the guest's mobile phone might not be enough, so he took out a power bank and several charging cables of various models, ready to ask the guest if he needed it.

Looking at the name of his hometown printed on the production address on the power bank, Li Qiao thought that if he hadn't come to Hong Kong to work hard, maybe he would have been a worker in this factory.

Li Xiaojun stopped Li Qiao, who was yawning, and took the tray containing the power bank and charging cable and walked to the guest. If you yawn while talking to a guest, it's an accident.

Zhang Xu suppressed the irritability in his heart with half a glass of Amontiado sherry, and then looked at the mobile phone on the table again, but it was still lying there quietly.

An hour ago, Dobby went to his villa as soon as the Death Eaters invaded Hogwarts and texted Zhang Xu with the mobile phone that Zhang Xu had kept there.

Now that an hour has passed, Dobby has not sent a second text message for a long time, which makes Zhang Xu feel very irritated.

However, all he could do now was wait anxiously.

For tonight, Dumbledore wrote the script, Voldemort wrote the script, and Zhang Xu wrote the script that belonged to him.

With three plays taking place at Hogwarts at the same time, there will inevitably be surprises that go beyond the script.

Dumbledore kicked him off the stage early, and all he could do was prepare in advance and put his hopes in the Hogwarts students.

The main characters in Dumbledore's script are Snape and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix, piggybacking on Harry Potter.

The main character in Voldemort's script is his Death Eaters.

And the actors in Zhang Xu's script are the students he has painstakingly cultivated in Hogwarts over the past six years.

Unlike elite organizations such as the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters established by Dumbledore and Voldemort, due to his own knowledge structure and identity, Zhang Xu could not establish an elite organization like them.

Therefore, Zhang Xu chose to believe in the masses from the beginning, rely on the masses, mobilize the masses, and let the mass forces that were ignored by Dumbledore and Voldemort be organized, so as to form a force that they cannot be ignored.

Although Dumbledore has been calling for everyone to unite against Voldemort, he is still following the elite route. The allies that Dumbledore has contacted over the years are basically big families. However, most of these families are egoists who "always support the Minister of Magic, and whoever becomes the minister supports whom", and Dumbledore's table today may receive visiting Death Eaters the next day.

Zhang Xu, who had been studying Dumbledore's actions, had long seen that Dumbledore still underestimated the energy of the students after they organized and mobilized. All he did was to use this power as a cornerstone for Harry Potter.

Zhang Xu could only shrug helplessly, after all, Dumbledore preached "love is the strongest magic".

Therefore, Zhang Xu simply took advantage of the fact that Dumbledore took the students to make Harry Potter's wedding dresses, and after the establishment of the "Hogwarts Defenders" organization, he continued to cultivate and imperceptibly influence the minds of the students, so that they realized that the people, and only the people, are the driving force to create world history.

And tonight is the moment when Zhang Xu expects the students to appear on stage.

Perhaps, with the death of Dumbledore, tonight's events are the dividing line between the end of an old era and the beginning of a new era.

It's just that he couldn't take command, so Zhang Xu was afraid that something would go wrong.

If there were a large number of casualties in tonight's events, it would be a huge disaster. It will even knock the morale that is rarely encouraged to a low point in an instant.

And there are those people he knows, if there is any damage, maybe he will go crazy.

I hope that the elixir prepared in the morning will bring good luck to everyone.

"Sir, does your phone need to be charged?" At this time, Li Xiaojun's voice interrupted Zhang Xu's thoughts.

Zhang Xu picked up the phone and took a look, and the battery level dropped from two to one.
