Chapter 671 - On the Road
The time to return to his hometown in the summer is short-lived, Zhang Xu has been busy in the disaster area from May to August, and he has only had two weeks off after the disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction have been completed.
Fortunately, there was a long time to prepare, and the damage caused by this earthquake was greatly reduced, but the subsequent rescue and reconstruction work was not easy.
Now Zhang Xu's vacation is coming to an end, and in a few days he will return to work, and after arranging the follow-up work, he will go to the United Kingdom.
Today Gabrielle is here, and Gabrielle, who is in her early twenties, has now grown into a slim girl.
She wore a pale blue dress, her long hair was tied in a ponytail, slanted over her shoulders, and a pair of small, delicate gold-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of her nose.
At this time, she was walking slowly towards the village with Zhang Xu on the path by the river.
"I really can't see that a big girl who is so quiet now used to be chased around by a flock of geese here." Zhang Xu sighed that it was like water.
Then Gabrielle gave him an elbow triple at Zhang Xu's soft underbelly.
After packing up Zhang Xu, Gabrielle said: "Madame Maxim has already approved Xiao Jue's application to visit and study in Beauxbatons for two years. β
Zhang Xu is very relieved about the growth of his eldest daughter Zhang Jue, and at the same time, he has never relaxed in his cultivation of her.
Fortunately, Zhang Jue also inherited his parents' smart and studious brains, and is currently the type that is addicted to learning and can't extricate himself.
After completing primary school in the third grade, Zhang Jue asked his family to go to a European magic school to learn (liΕ«) Xi (dΔ) for a few years. The kid who grew up listening to his parents tell stories about Hogwarts and Beauxbatons wanted to see where his parents grew up.
After careful consideration and in-depth communication with his family, Zhang Xu finally agreed to Zhang Jue's request. He also planned to spend two years each at Beauxbatons, Hogwarts, and Durmstrang, and then return to high school six years later to prepare for the college entrance exam.
Anyway, Zhang is now rich and powerful, and the eldest lady of his family is not afraid of not having a book to read.
The reason why Zhang Jue chose Beauxbatons for his first stop was mainly because Gabrielle was now teaching at Beauxbatons, and secondly, Beauxbatons had a tradition of educating wizards under the age of eleven.
"Then when you go back to France in a few days, you can take her over first, so that she can get acquainted with the environment over there." Zhang Xu said, "I have to go to the UK first. β
"That's right." Gabrielle remembered one thing, "When I was in France a few days ago, I read the British Daily Prophet, in which a British reporter broke the news that you had left a few illegitimate children in England, is there such a thing?" β
Zhang Xu looked up at the sky and the white clouds drifted ...... After a long time, he asked, "Who is she talking about this time about my illegitimate child with whom?" Hogwarts probably didn't have Peeves choreographed for me, right? β
"It's not from Hogwarts this time." Gabrielle said with a smile, "So I think it's several times more credible than before." β
Then Zhang Xu slashed Gabrielle's head with a knife, and he said: "Multiply zero by a few to get zero in the end." β
"Who made your reputation so bad." Gabrielle said, rubbing her head.
Zhang Xu could only say helplessly: "If my reputation is really so bad, I would have been tied up by your sister and sunk to the bottom." β
Then Zhang Xu looked at the time and said to Gabrielle: "It's almost time for dinner, let's go faster, there is your favorite roast goose today." β
A few days have passed, and the book will not be repeated.
"Long time no see, Parvati."
On the flight to London, Zhang Xu met an acquaintance.
Ten years ago, Parvati and her sister Padma disappeared for a few months after the Christmas break in early January, and did not reappear at Hogwarts until May. During this period, there was a lot of big news in the world, such as the mysterious explosion of India's nuclear test base.
After graduating from Hogwarts, both Parvati and Pettier worked as flight attendants at British Airways.
As Zhang Xu's reputation grows now, many of his old things have been dug up, including his handling of terrorist hijackings. With this example in mind, many airlines began to hire witches as flight attendants to solve some problems encountered on flights. British Airways, as a pioneer, has achieved good results in this regard.
And the two sisters also have good work performance, and they have also started their own families in the past few years.
After taking the time to chat for a while, Parvati said to Zhang Xu: "I went to Diagon Alley a few days ago when I was resting, and I saw Luna returning to England at that time. β
Zhang Xu nodded when he heard this, and then thought about how to call out Luo Fu and get drunk this time.
After graduating, Luna joined the Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control.
The following year, WWF launched a survey and conservation of wild animals and plants. Luna participated in the project as one of the representatives of the United Kingdom, and then she met Rove Scamander at work. After two or three years, Zhang Xu received their wedding invitation.
"Any news from old friends lately?" Zhang Xu asked Parvati that he had been almost isolated from the world during this time, and Draco Malfoy didn't know much about Zhang Xu's circle of things.
"It just so happened that there was a news in the newspaper." Parvati handed a newspaper to Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu quickly found the news that Parvati wanted to show him.
In the sports section, Michael Irving, the freshman who appeared next to Zhang Xu from time to time a decade ago, held up a Montrose Magpies jersey to take pictures of reporters at a press conference.
The super-rookie chaser, who led Ravenclaw to five consecutive Hogwarts Quidditch championships and shined in the three-school Quidditch tournament and the eight-school Quidditch tournament, recently moved to the team with the most titles in the history of the English Quidditch League.
In the next edition of the report on Michael's usual life, the same frame photo of Michael and Margaret Woolley, who is four years younger than him, appears several times.
Ten years have passed, and the people who have spent their green years together have their own lives. They each formed their own families and worked in their respective positions every day.
It has been a quiet decade for wizards, and the occasional storm has little impact on them.
It's just that there are a lot of people who are worried about whether Voldemort, who was finished once and then returned, will not return in the next few years.
