Chapter 328 Writing "Employment Counseling", Reading "Touching the Fish"
By the time the Quartet "made positive progress", it was already the evening of the second day.
Zhang Xu believes that it is expected to be able to reach a "consensus between all parties", relying on Dumbledore's personal sitting, otherwise a group of people would have fought that afternoon.
At that time, when several people were at a stalemate, Zhang Xu was very worried that they would pull out their wands and "biu" each other in the next second. At that time, Zhang Xu seriously considered whether to demolish Professor McGonagall's house after they got into a fight, whether to add a dark mark to the sky, anyway, Voldemort has a lot of debts.
Fortunately, when Dumbledore was "talking frankly", he was always able to make "everyone present give me a face" at a critical moment, preventing the meeting from turning into "this is an unfriendly action".
When the talks resumed the next morning, Zhang Xu preemptively said: "I have a word, please listen quietly." Our common ground is basic, our differences are partial, and we can seek common ground while reserving differences. ”
Then Zhang Xu sacrificed the big words of "seeking common ground while reserving differences" and "shelving disputes", taking advantage of the favorable conditions of his relationship with all parties, so that all parties could first set down the areas where consensus could be reached to form a main framework, and then put the disputed areas in this framework and talk about them later.
In the next meeting, Zhang Xu at least did not have to ask Hood to come up and replace the cups on the coffee table with disposable paper cups, and he was not afraid to tear down Professor McGonagall's house.
At dinner, everyone began to be in the mood to discuss the pan-fried walking mushroom slices and sunshine mushroom salad provided by Zhang Xu.
At the dinner table, Dumbledore even agreed to Bear Grylls' request to visit the Forbidden Forest in his capacity as Headmaster.
Although Zhang Xu was exhausted after a day of talks, things were always developing for the better.
It is precisely because everyone has the expectation of becoming the legendary "all-round strategic cooperative partnership" that the negotiations before the first cooperation are so difficult.
Some rules are set at the beginning, and the second, third, or even more cooperation in the future will be simple.
Then came the more cumbersome planning stage, Zhang Xu said you take your time, I'll go back to class first. As a result, Kingsley Shackle, Lupin, and Bell Grylls were left behind to discuss the plan.
Things have developed to this point, it is beyond Zhang Xu's control, at first he thought it was a simple revenge operation, get a few barrels of gasoline, then get some natural rubber chopped up and throw it in, and then wait for the fire to burn the house of the Death Eaters like Suzuna-an.
And now he could only pray that the Death Eaters would start acting before they realized something was wrong.
After that, Zhang Xu returned to student life at Hogwarts.
At this time of year, there is always a whole bunch of brochures, flyers, and announcements about various magical professions in the common room.
The fifth-graders were now thinking about their future careers, and the students were constantly looking through the pamphlets on their desks, or a few people were getting together to discuss something, and some students were writing letters to ask for advice from home.
The biggest headaches were the Muggle-born students, who had no one to give them advice and advice other than their classmates and professors.
Zhang Xu used to pick up a pamphlet or two or a few leaflets as pastime reading materials to pass the time when he was bored.
Now Zhang Xu is holding an enrollment brochure of domestic colleges and universities in his hand and reading it with relish, and from time to time he explains the contents of the brochure to interested students who come to consult.
The bulletin board is posted with an announcement that all fifth-graders will have career counseling starting next Monday, as well as a timetable for each student to attend.
This is a very important thing for students, and it can be said that it is related to the course of their lives. Except, of course, for Zhang.
Zhang Xu took a look and found that he was last in line.
When Zhang Xu walked into Professor Flitwick's office on time, the professor sitting behind the desk said in a complaining tone, "I don't think you need it, Zhang." I'm trying to take advantage of this opportunity to be lazy. ”
Zhang Xu walked to the stool in front of the desk and sat down, and said to Professor Flitwick with a smile: "Haha, the necessary procedures still need to be followed." ”
Professor Flitwick reluctantly said, "You have already chosen the path you want to take in the future, and I can't guide you in your career." Until now, I haven't figured out how your computer works. ”
"Actually, I don't really understand how it works." "Muggles have a black box theory of technology, where users don't need to know what they need to know to make a product, they just need to follow the rules and get the desired results. Just like a radio, the user doesn't need to know how the radio works, just how to turn the knobs. My future work is something like making a black box like this. ”
Anyway, being idle is idle, Zhang Xu and Professor Flitwick simply took the opportunity to fish and chat.
When he first learned that Zhang Xu could arrange the class schedule for all Hogwarts students at once with a laptop, Professor Flitwick was very interested in Zhang Xu's computer, and he and several professors even went to Zhang Xu's villa to see it.
As a result, Professor Flitwick was incapable of any other functions except learning to play Minesweeper, and Professor McGonagall at least learned to write with a notepad.
When Zhang Xu was explaining to them the course scheduling software he had arranged, several professors around him were confused.
Professor Flitwick skipped the subject, which he had never been able to understand in his life, and asked with interest, "If you were a wizard in England, what would you do?" ”
Zhang Xu thought for a moment and replied: "Maybe I will go to dangerous places in the world to explore, and then write and publish what I saw and heard during the expedition." ”
"In that case,.. Score high enough on the exam. "Charms, Transfiguration, and Defence Against the Dark Arts can keep you out of deadly danger, herbology and potions can help you make antidotes to save your life if necessary, protecting magical biology can keep you away from the threat of ferocious animals, and ancient runens, astronomy, divination, and the history of magic also need to be familiar, as they can give you hidden clues when necessary." ”
Zhang Xu looked at Professor Flitwick in surprise and asked, "Professor, do you have a lot of experience in this area?" ”
"When I was younger, I also had a dream of becoming an adventurer, until I got a spell in my knee during a duel match." Professor Flitwick said with some embarrassment.
There are two explanations for "a spell in the knee", whether it was a leg injury or a marriage proposal on his knees, and Professor Flitwick did not say anything about being killed under Zhang Xu's questioning.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Flitwick changed the topic and asked Zhang Xu, "Last time I suggested that you familiarize yourself with the wand you bought from Ollivander as soon as possible, how are you using it now?" You cast a spell for me to see. ”
Zhang Xu's face cramped a little, and then he pulled out the magic wand that was a little different.
(-_-) つ▅▆▆ This is facing the enemy →▆▅
"Uh......" Professor Flitwick didn't recognize the Chinese characters on the wand, but after a moment, he said, "The proctor doesn't have any prohibitions on the decoration of the wand, don't worry about that." ”
Zhang Xu cast spells on the employment counseling pamphlets and flyers on his desk, and at the same time complained about Ollivander's ancestors in his heart.
Why didn't Ollivander's wand ancestors put a handle on it as they did for other wands, which not only looked the same at both ends, but also had a front and back part.
The first time he used it, he reversed the direction of his wand, and a fireball came out of his palm. Fortunately, the defense on the robe was automatically activated, and fortunately, it didn't use the blade, but it was only injured by the exploding fireball, otherwise it would be finished.
Luckily, when I crawled out of the Room that day, I saw a very tight-mouthed fat monk, otherwise someone else or a ghost had helped to call Madam Pomfrey, and the next day there would have been some rumors in Hogwarts.
After coming out of the school doctor's room, Zhang Xu relied on illumination to determine the front and back direction of the wand, and then put a label on the wand indicating the front and back direction of the wand.
As for being blinded by his own lighting technique for half an hour during the period, Zhang Xu never mentioned it to others.
After Zhang Xu finished casting the method, the pamphlets and leaflets on Professor Flitwick's desk all stood up and lined up in a phalanx, and then danced "The Most Dazzling National Style".
