Chapter 140: I don't want to write a title anymore
For the next week, Zhang Xu stayed in the Burrow.
He either had a Quidditch with Harry and the others every day, practiced spells like Blade, Potato Peeler, Pumpkin Crusher, Carrot Slayer, Onion Cutter, and Shadowless in the kitchen, or chatted with Mrs. Weasley about the heads of the various magical families.
In the past few days, Zhang Xu noticed that Harry seemed to have something to say to him, but Harry always wanted to stop talking.
Zhang Xu doesn't care about him anymore, Zhang Xu himself still has a lot of headaches now.
During the week, neither Mr. Weasley nor Percy was at home.
Every morning, before the rest of the family was up, the two of them left the house and did not return until long after dinner.
So far, only the investigation on the Black Devil Mark has made some progress at the beginning, and the three skulls that Zhang Xu made still have not the slightest clue.
Underneath the Dark Mark that day, the staff of the Ministry of Magic found the unconscious House-Elf of Barty Crouch's house-elf, Twilight, holding a wizard's wand. Soon, the people of the Ministry of Magic found the owner of the stunned wand, a Muggle-born wizard, nearby.
All the clues were broken here, and after investigation, the owner of the wand was innocent, and the Dark Lord could not have Muggle-born subordinates.
For a time, the investigation hit a dead end.
When Zhang Xu heard Percy talk about these things, he secretly complained that the Ministry of Magic would not check fingerprints, and if he had checked the fingerprints on his wand from the beginning, maybe it would have been all over now.
The day before returning to Hogwarts, Percy was able to get home from work on time for dinner.
"The ministry was really a mess, and for a whole week, I was like fighting a fire. People keep sending yelling letters, and of course, if you don't open them right away, they're going to explode. There were burnt marks everywhere on my desk, and the best quills had turned into a pile of cinders. Percy complained, "People want to pay compensation for their damaged belongings, but some are clearly fishing in troubled waters, and that day, apparently spending the night under a cloak supported by sticks, made a claim for a tent with twelve bedrooms and a jacuzzi." ”
Zhang Xu, who listened to his complaints, said that he couldn't help, who let the British magical society not issue invoices for shopping, otherwise those who opened their mouths could make claims with tent invoices.
It had been some time after dinner, and the old clock in Weasley's house showed that Mr. Weasley was still at work.
"Since the day the mystery man lost power, your dad hasn't had to work overtime on weekends." Mrs. Weasley glanced at the old man's clock and said, "Now they're going to wear him out." If he doesn't come back quickly, his dinner will be ruined. ”
"Hey, Dad feels like he has to make up for the mistakes he made on the day of the final." "To be honest, it's a bit unwise for him to speak in public without consulting his department head." ”
What ensued was a debate between several Weasleys about the appropriateness of Mr. Weasley's remarks on the night of the riot, with Percy at odds with his family. The root of this contradiction is that Percy puts his ass in the position of the Ministry of Magic, while the rest of the Weasleys are from the Weasleys' point of view. As for Rita Skeeter's report, it was the fuse that ignited this contradiction.
Zhang Xu felt that he should remind Percy that this kind of contradiction at work should not be brought home.
For the rest of the day, everyone was doing their own thing.
Harry is wiping his broomsticks, Fred and George are discussing their manifests, and Charlie is watching Ron and Bill play chess.
Hermione sat next to Zhang Xu, and whenever Hermione wanted to say something to Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu handed over the "Standard Spell, Level 4" in his hand, pretending to discuss study problems with her. Zhang Xu didn't want to discuss with her about house-elves now, and he didn't have the energy to jump into the pit of the "House-elf Liberation Front".
Soon after, Mr. Weasley returned.
Then there is the argument between Hermione and Percy about house-elves.
At this moment, an owl flew into the Burrow in the heavy rain and landed in front of Zhang Xu.
After a moment of scrambling, Zhang Xu took the letter sent to him from the wet owl.
Zhang Xu opened the letter sent from home and read it.
The letter was sent by Zhang Xu's father, in which he asked Zhang Xu and Scarlet what the hell they were doing, and he had been eating white porridge and salt at home for several days.
Zhang Xu silently put away the letter sent by his father, took out a piece of parchment, and wrote, "It's like this, don't be sad, fortunately, there is no endless road!" Then he took out two packets of mustard and a few oranges from the treasure bag, packed them and tied them to the feet of the owl who sent the letter, and asked the owl to send them home.
After letting the owl out of the window, Zhang Xu noticed that the argument between Percy and Hermione had begun to escalate.
"I think you'd all go upstairs and see if your luggage is packed!" Mrs. Weasley interrupted Percy and Hermione's argument and said, "Go ahead, you all go......"
Zhang Xu's luggage was packed early in the morning, and all his belongings were put in his treasure bag, ready to start a trip at any time, which made Harry, Ron and the twins very envious.
In their eyes, Zhang Xu's treasure bag that can take out things that can be used for home travel, killing, and arson at any time is very magical.
They had asked Zhang Xu more than once what was in his bag, to which Zhang Xu smiled and said nothing.
The next morning, Mr. Weasley rushed to the Ministry of Magic to deal with an emergency before he had breakfast available.
While eating breakfast, Zhang Xu learned that it was about Mad-Eye Moody.
Hearing the news, Zhang Xu thought about it while eating breakfast.
Peter Pettigrew has been killed by Zhang Xu, as Zhang Xu has confirmed from Lupin and Black.
In this way, there are many questions.
First of all, the person who attacked Moody last night was not Barty Crouch Jr. Without Peter Pettigrew's help, Barty Crouch Jr. attacked Moody on his own or joined forces with someone else unknown.
Secondly, whether the two-hole socket man returned to the UK from the forests of Albania. If there is no return, then the appearance of the Black Mark that night was not done by someone on a whim. If he comes back, then he will not recover like the "plot" next.
Third, if this year's Moody is pretended to be Barty Crouch Jr. or someone else, then should I interfere with it. After all, this year's triwizard tournament has Furong participating, and it will be a tragedy if something happens.
At this time, Zhang Xu's sleeve was pulled, and he turned his head to find that it was Hermione calling him.
Mrs. Weasley's call has arrived, and it's time for everyone to leave for the station.
