The day after the Warriors were chosen, the Weasleys were informed that Ron would become a Warrior to represent Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament.

Shocked, delighted, and worried, the Weasleys were in different moods.

They decide to surprise Ron and cheer him up next Hogwarts week.

Thereupon...... Is Ron surprised Zhang Xu doesn't know, Zhang Xu only knows that Ron is frightened.

After Zhang Xu cast an illusion spell on the onlookers, he left with Fleur and Gabrielle.

On a hillside not far from the edge of Hogsmeade sits a two-storey country house.

The owner of this villa is a distant relative of Neville Longbottom, who has already moved to settle elsewhere, so under Neville's lead, Zhang Xu rented this villa as his base in the UK.

Zhang Xu invited a few guests to be guests today, so he and the Furong sisters didn't stay in the village for long, so they came to the villa.

As soon as they entered the door, Zhang Xu and the others felt the warmth in the room.

The firewood in the fireplace is burning brightly, providing enough heat for the underfloor heating system installed by Zhang Xu throughout the villa.

"Welcome back, Mr. Zhang, two Miss Delacour." A house-elf appeared in the foyer.

"Hello, Dobby." Zhang Xu hung the cloak on the coat hook next to the foyer and greeted the house-elf, "The guests will be arriving soon, how is the lunch prepared?" ”

"Everything is ready, Mr. Zhang." Dobby replied.

Dobby cheated Harry Potter once in a Quidditch match, but was later knocked unconscious by Zhang Xu in the school infirmary, and was finally taken away by Dumbledore.

After Dumbledore fed Dobby the Elixir, Dobby confessed to Dumbledore everything he knew.

Dumbledore, who had the evidence, went straight to Lucius Malfoy for trouble, and as a result, Lucius Malfoy lost his position as director of Hogwarts School, and was forced to set Dobby free.

With Dumbledore's endorsement, Harry figured out that Dobby was not here to assassinate him, and Dobby made his intentions clear to him, and he later accepted Dobby.

After spending some time in society, Dobby found Dumbledore for a job and ended up getting a job in the Hogwarts kitchen.

Zhang Xu is not interested in raising a house-elf, and he has no right to ask the house-elves of Hogwarts to take care of the villa for him.

But Dobby, the house-elf who collects money to do things, is different, and Zhang Xu hires him to come and take care of the villa when he has time.

Dobby, who received a part-time job, was also very happy, and the fact that he was knocked out by Zhang Xu before was forgotten.

When the time reached eleven o'clock, the door of the villa was knocked one after another, the guests arrived one after another, and Furong entered the hostess mode to receive the arrival of every guest.

There are four guests today, Cedric, Zhang Qiu, Krum and Tonya.

The villa was filled with three players from the Triwizard Tournament at once.

Originally, Zhang Xu had planned to invite Harry's trio, but after making such a show this morning, they didn't have time to come over.

After a round of Quidditch in the living room, it's time for lunch.

Hogsmeade, located at high altitudes, is already very cold in November, and the best way to have a meal in such weather is of course hot pot.

Dobby followed Zhang Xu's instructions and prepared a soup base made of lamb bones and fish heads early in the morning, as well as a plate of thinly sliced mutton rolls.

This way of eating made Krum feel very novel, he gave up the fork and colander that Zhang Xu had prepared for him, and learned how to use two "Oriental wands" to eat.

At first, Krum wondered why there were so many wands on the table, and he picked one up and tried it, but it didn't work.

"This is useful for improving finger dexterity and improving flexibility when waving a wand." Krum said as he practiced using chopsticks.

At the dinner table, the conversation shifted to Hogwarts lessons.

Beauxbatons and Durmstrang student representatives have been attending classes with Hogwarts students for some time, and everyone has noticed that the Hogwarts curriculum is different from their own school.

"The Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is really good." Krum said as he unskillfully pinched a slice of mutton with his chopsticks and put it into the pot, "Rummenigge and Schuster tried to test his strength, but in the blink of an eye the two of them were hung to the ceiling. ”

"Professor Moody is the best Auror in the British Ministry of Magic," Cedric said, "and half of the cells in Azkaban are filled by him. ”

"You can see that he is a very powerful person." Krum nodded.

"Potions classes at Hogwarts are really difficult, I think it's the highest of the three." Tonya said.

Listening to Tonya's words, Fleur and Krum nodded along with her.

In the past two years, Snape has become more and more demanding of his students.

In particular, after he started the work of measuring the active ingredient content of potion raw materials, the students now have to measure the active ingredient content of the materials used before each potion in class, and then calculate the actual amount.

In the past, this could only be done by the experience of wizards.

In addition, the students of the Pharmacists Association completed the standardization and diagramming of the potion preparation steps under Zhang Xu's proposal, which minimized the mistakes caused by the students due to the wrong steps.

With both hardware and software upgrades, the success rate of potion configuration for students in the classroom has been greatly improved. As a result, Snape set higher demands on his students.

"But the Potions Safety Management System and the Potions Self-Inspection Management Rules, which you have to memorize before class, are good things," Tonya said, "They reduce the dangers of the potions refining process and alchemical experiments, and I want to bring them back to Beauxbatons." ”

"That's fine," Zhang Xu replied, "and I'll give you two of their pamphlets later." ”

These two rules and regulations were formulated by Zhang Xu and his classmates in his academy back then, so he could decide whether to teach them to Beauxbatons.

"I want a copy too," said Krum, "you know, Potions classes in our school are more dangerous. ”

"No problem." Zhang Xu replied.

"It's the first time I've seen a lot of the potions in Hogwarts class," Krum added, "and while learning how to use them can be a headache at first, they make it easier to prepare potions once you're proficient." ”

Fleur also said as she sipped the lamb, "Those devices were all imported from the Muggle society, and Muggles have a lot to learn from when it comes to pharmaceuticals. In addition to the most basic graduated cylinders and measuring cups, there are burettes, pipettes, dispensing funnels, condensers, water baths, microscopes, centrifuges, etc., which make the refining of many potions easier and more efficient. ”

"I've been to Asahi and their pharmaceutical factory, and the equipment in the laboratory there is even more amazing and advanced." Fleur said as she sliced lamb for Gabrielle, "Spectrophotometers, analytical balances, disintegration instruments, drug dissolution meters, insoluble particle detectors, clarity detectors, ultraviolet analyzers, polarimeters, and other Muggle-invented devices can be said to have brought Potions into a new era." ”

Next, Fleur explained the basic role of these instruments to everyone, and they were dumbfounded.

Fleur's eyes lit up as she introduced the equipment, just as Krum had been talking about Quidditch.

At the beginning of this year's summer vacation, Zhang Xu was busy with the high school entrance examination and other things, so Furong worked for a month in Zhang Xu's pharmaceutical factory laboratory, during which she used a lot of advanced equipment.

Zhang Xu accidentally wrote down the information of a drug called 1-[4-ethoxy-3-[5-(6,7-dihydro-1-methyl-7-oxo-3-propyl-1H-pyrazolo[4,3d]pyrimidine)]benzesulfonyl]-4-methylpiperazine citrate.

Now the "T" pill produced by Zhangjiakai's Ambrera Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is well-known at home and abroad, bringing huge profits to Zhang's family. This gave Zhang Xu the confidence to take someone else's path in the future and let others have no way out.

At the same time, in the laboratory of Ambrera Pharmaceutical Factory No. 6, which has invested a lot of money, all the world's top experimental equipment, even the equipment prohibited from being exported to China by foreign countries, has been shipped back through non-Muggle means.

Not to mention Fleur in this lab, even Snape didn't want to come out after entering, and in the end Professor McGonagall tied him up.

Fleur, who was originally good at potions, decided to pursue a career related to potions in the future after this summer vacation.

Zhang Xu supports this, after all, this is the path she chose herself. Besides, a potions researcher Fleur is better than a bank clerk Fleur isn't.

"Has the Muggle world become so powerful now?" "Zhang, what you're teaching in class is different from what Durmstrang taught, and I don't even know who to listen to." ”

"The content in my class is based on facts, not nonsense as some people say." Zhang Xu said, "Wizards and Muggles have been isolated for too long, and they can't keep up with the pace of Muggle development. Muggles have grown extremely rapidly in the space of nearly a hundred years, and twenty-five years ago, Muggles could send ordinary people to the moon. Wizards, meanwhile, have been standing still. ”

The wizards present all nodded, and with Zhang Xu's efforts last year, everyone realized from the big screen what the real Muggle world is like now.

Finally, Krum asked, "Why did Professor Sprout in the Herb class sternly warn the Hogwarts students that these herbs should not be eaten as food when introducing some herbs?" ”
