Chapter 340: Dobby's New Job
In the face of the increasing . The best way to de-stress is to play a Quidditch session.
In particular, this match is the final of this year's Quidditch Championship.
The night before the match, in Professor Flitwick's office, all the players of the Eagle House Quidditch team were present, and the team watched as their Dean took out a large stack of Hogsmeade vouchers from the drawer and slammed them on the desk table, and then said solemnly: "I just want the championship!" Win, it's all yours. If you lose, don't expect to go to Hogsmeade if you're still in school next year. ”
Under the influence of carrots and sticks, the players clapped their chests and pledged to pull Gryffindor off the horse.
The next day, it was rumored in the cafeteria that Professor McGonagall had made similar terms for the Lion House team.
On the day of the game, the Eagles Courtyard Bondage Sense discharged an unexpected lineup, Zhang Xu replaced Zhang Qiu, appearing in the Seeker position for the first time.
As a result of the match, Zhang Xu used a feint to distract Ginny, who replaced Harry as the Seeker, with a feint at the opening ten minutes, and then rushed towards it with a vertical dive, and then grabbed the golden snitch less than the height of a quill on the ground when he almost fell to the ground.
After the game, Zhang Xu, who was about to receive the award, looked at the players of the Lion House who had withdrawn gloomily, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the court was really a cruel world where he won the tender model of the club and lost working in the sea.
That evening, in the common room of the Eagle House, the students rarely indulged in their studies anymore and placed the silver Quidditch trophy on the table in the center of the lounge, and then everyone began the celebratory feast.
Everyone made a fuss until about eleven o'clock, and then dragged their tired bodies back to sleep in the dormitory.
After Zhang Xu left the common room at this moment, he did not return to his professor's dormitory, but came to the kitchen in the basement.
Unlike many students who were still doing various things at this time in the past, the entire kitchen was empty tonight, except for the "crackling" sound of the firewood burning in the kitchen fireplace, and the sound of a person lying on the table sighing.
Zhang Xu walked towards the table where he sighed, only to see a witch in her twenties lying there, and a copy of "The Biography of Dumbledore" that had just been published last month was on the table.
Obviously, such a tome biography, even Dumbledore's, was not interesting in the witch's eyes.
"Good evening, Tonks." Zhang Xu sat down opposite the witch whose hair changed like a neon light.
"Oh, good evening, Zhang." Tonks sat up and greeted Zhang Xu.
"Well, have you found out what Your Excellency the Minister said about the wizarding army organized by Dumbledore hidden in Hogwarts?" Zhang Xu quipped.
Tonks leaned the back of his chair, looked up at the ceiling, and said helplessly: "I thought I could play hide and seek with you after I came, and I also asked Lupin and Black about the secret rooms and secret passages in the castle that I didn't know, but I didn't use anything." ”
Seeing that Tonks, who was still full of energy a few days ago, has now become a salted fish, Zhang Xu could only shake his head helplessly.
There are so many Aurors in the Ministry of Magic, why did your director send you here alone to fish, don't you know in your heart?
"Who told Fudge's latest education order to ban students from entering the kitchen, we Hogwarts students are the most obedient." Zhang Xu said very seriously.
And Tonks looked at Zhang Xu, who was talking serious nonsense, with the eyes of "you make it up, if you believe it, I will lose".
"Anyway, our minister's Excellency may be about to step down, and these education orders should basically be invalidated by then." Tonks said.
Zhang Xu was very interested in this news, and he asked, "Is this news reliable?" ”
"Now even Lucius Malfoy no longer gives Fauges money, and the directors of the various divisions rarely take the initiative to report to him." Tonks said, "Now everyone who wants to run for the next Minister of Magic is starting to prepare. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Xu already knew about this matter, no wonder Scrimgeois dared to send Tonks to deal with the errand ordered by the Minister of Magic personally, the people's hearts were scattered, and the team was naturally difficult to lead.
From this point of view, the heads of various departments have a clear idea of what they will face in the future.
In order to keep his position, Fudge has been in a slump for this time and has sent himself to the edge of the cliff. And the other officials in the Ministry of Magic, in order to keep their positions, will not follow Fudge to fool around.
"What does the Ministry think of Professor Dumbledore now?" Zhang Xu asked curiously.
"Everybody thinks Dumbledore is innocent," Tonks said, "and if you really want to deal with Draco Malfoy that night, then Dumbledore." And now Fudge directly suspended Dumbledore for far-fetched reasons, and he did not dare to punish Malfoy Jr. for fear of losing the support of Malfoy Sr. A lot of people in the ministry thought he was crazy. ”
At this moment, several house-elves in the kitchen placed plates of different foods and drinks on a table not far away.
Dobby is then seen at the table, then picks up a plate, and disappears with a "snap".
Soon after, Dobby returned, continued to pick up the plate, and vanished.
"Dobby: What is this doing?" Tonks asked curiously.
Zhang Xu said with a smile: "This is Dobby's new job. ”
"New job? Who is it so late to deliver food to? Tonks was getting more and more curious.
"At the end of a hard day, we're used to having a late night snack in the kitchen, relaxing, and then going back to the dorm room for a good night's sleep." Zhang Xu explained to Tonks.
"Because you're here now, everyone is obeying the Ministry of Magic's education order, so you can't come here for supper."
"So someone came up with the idea to pay Dobby to bring him supper from the kitchen, one copper coin at a time."
"If someone wants to buy Hogsmeade merchandise, they have to pay a few more copper coins. If you want to buy Diagon Alley goods, you have to pay gold. ”
"Now Dobby is busy delivering things every night."
Tonks listened to such an incredible thing, and his mouth grew big.
"How come I look like an antagonist in this story?" Tonks said with some depression.
Zhang Xu smiled and didn't speak.
At this time, Dobby had just finished delivering a takeout and was sitting at a table not far away to rest.
Tonks waved his hand to Dobby and said, "Dobby, bring us a plate of sandwiches and two glasses of pumpkin juice." ”
After hearing that someone had placed an order, Dobby stood up and took the order.
Soon, Dobby came over with a plate of four sandwiches and two cups of pumpkin juice.
"Do you want to pay in cash, or do you want to keep the bills first?" Dobby asked, after putting the plate away.
Tonks wasn't surprised that she was being paid for her meals, after all, she represented the Ministry of Magic, which had just been suspended from her position as headmaster.
Thinking that he would have to fish here for a while, Tonks chose to keep accounts.
It's just that later Dobby sent the bill directly to the Ministry of Magic, asking the Ministry of Magic to pay, which made the head of the Auror Office angry enough.
At this time, Zhang Xu called Dobby over and said to him: "Dobby, are you interested in opening a food delivery company and logistics company with other like-minded house-elves in the future?" ”
