Chapter 39 This year, if you don't accept gifts during the holidays, you are still doing trouble
Zhang Xu found that in the past few years, there have been things to happen at Hogwarts every Halloween Eve.
Last year it was a troll, this year it was a basilisk, next year it was a big dog invasion, and the year after that it was a Goblet of Fire Warrior.
Thanks to the third Mr. Qian, who crossed over, in addition to bringing the news that the men's football team did not enter the World Cup, he also brought a brain of various frozen eels and novels, allowing Zhang Xu to revisit the full set of "Harry Potter" during the summer vacation.
Zhang Xu declined Nick's invitation to celebrate his death and happily ate a stomach of pumpkin products with his classmates in the cafeteria.
After the banquet, Zhang Xu came to Mrs. Loris, who was hanging upside down, and looked at the cat who usually played with him with a serious face.
Zhang Xu stabbed the cat's body with his wand and found that its whole body was as hard as a stone.
Zhang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, it was petrified, not killed.
When Zhang Xu turned around, among the students who were originally quiet, someone spoke loudly.
"Those who are enemies of the heirs, be on the lookout! You're next, Mudblood!" Draco. Malfoy exclaimed.
He had already crowded to the front of the crowd, his cold eyes were alive, and his normally bloodless face was flushed. He looked at the still, stiff cat hanging there, and a grim smile appeared on his face.
But in the eyes of the people around him, he said it to Zhang Xu who was standing next to the cat.
Zhang Xu, who was already unhappy, saw Malfoy making trouble like this, and waved his wand at Malfoy, and a football-sized fireball stopped a few centimeters in front of Malfoy.
"Mr. Malfoy, are you going to provoke our more than 2,000-year-old magic family, the Zhang family, on behalf of the Malfoy family? If yes, I wouldn't mind if the two of us started a clan war right away. ”
Draco. Malfoy's face was as white as titanium dioxide at the moment, he just wanted to pretend to be a force, who would have thought that he would get into such a big trouble.
In the crowd, Zhang Qiu's best friend asked, "Is your family's history really so long?" ”
Zhang Qiu replied, "Yes, the names of our ancestors can still be found in Chinese history textbooks. ”
When the students in the surrounding snake courtyard heard this, they all had something in their hearts that they didn't know whether to say it or not. Put the whole of the United Kingdom, and the cane-making Ollivanders will be able to fight history with their family.
Fortunately, Zhang Qiu's best friend did not continue to ask how many wizards with the surname Zhang were, because the total population of Huaxia surnamed Zhang is more than 20 million more than the total population of the whole United Kingdom.
At this time, Malfoy was so nervous that he was about to collapse, and he didn't dare to bet on whether Zhang Xu's threat was real. As a nobleman, he knew that as soon as such words were spoken, falsehoods had to become truths. Even if Zhang Xu didn't dare to kill him at Hogwarts now, it was not impossible to kill his whole family first and then clean him up when he came home from vacation or graduated. Moreover, the family war is a matter between the two families, and the help of other families is equivalent to joining the war. In terms of the urine nature of other families, other families will only fall into the well, and will not send charcoal in the snow. In the end, Malfoy chose the latter between face and life.
Zhang Xu dispersed the fireball after Malfoy apologized. If Malfoy doesn't compromise, he's not afraid, and he has a way to use state power to slowly kill the Malfoy family on an economic level. In fact, the country also expects someone to jump out so that the country can show its muscles. If the Draco Malfoys were allowed to live like the Ron Weasleys, without anyone else doing it, the family would wipe their necks themselves.
Filch was drawn to the movement, and he squeezed his shoulders through the crowd. Then he saw Lady Loris, who stumbled back a few steps and grabbed his face with his hand in horror.
"My cat! My cat! What's wrong with Lady Loris?" Filch screamed.
At this point, Filch saw Harry.
"You!" Filch took out his wand and screamed, "You! You killed my cat! You killed it! I'm going to kill you!"
Zhang Xu on the side hurriedly made a move, slapped one hand on the numb tendon of Filch's elbow, and then pressed down his hand holding the wand while his hand was numb. Filch has done physical work for many years, and his hand strength is not small, and he can't stop him with Zhang Xu's small arms without a little skill. And Filch used to have psychological problems because he was a squib, and after successfully becoming a wizard last year, he was only a little better on the surface, but today he is stimulated and has a solid germination. Zhang Xu, who often teases cats, knows that Filch has always regarded Mrs. Loris as his family, and he shouted and killed just now.
Fortunately, Dumbledore arrived with a group of professors.
Dumbledore took the cat off, and then took the Harry trio with Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape to Lockhart's office, and Zhang Xu thought about it and followed.
In Lockhart's office, the three of them found a place to sit down, and the three of them looked nervous.
Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall were examining the cat, Snape was standing in the shadows, and Filch was slumped in a chair at the table, covering his face with his hands, not daring to look at Lady Loris.
They didn't say anything about Zhang Xu's follow-up, and they all knew that Zhang Xu and Mrs. Loris's relationship was very good. Professor McGonagall knows this very well.
Lockhart was babbling and boasting, which made Filch even more sad.
Zhang Xu couldn't stand it anymore, walked up to Filch's side, and said to him, "Please rest assured, Mr. Filch." Lady Lorisy is not dead. ”
"It's not dead, Filch." At this time, Dumbledore also stood up and whispered, and then nodded to Zhang Xu.
"Not dead?" Filch choked up, looking at Lady Loris through his fingers, "Then why is it all ...... The whole body stiffened, as if it was frozen?"
"It's petrified, but what exactly is going on, I don't know." Dumbledore said.
"Ask him!" Filch screamed, turning his mottled, tear-stained face to Harry.
"It's impossible for a sophomore to do that, it requires the deepest form of dark magic." Dumbledore said firmly.
"I didn't touch Lady Loris!" Harry exclaimed. He was uneasy at realizing that everyone was watching him, including all the Lockharts on the wall.
"I believe Harry at this point, his current level of magic is good enough to be able to petrify cats for an hour." Zhang Xu stood up and exonerated Harry.
After Snape's attempt to use Harry and why they didn't attend the Halloween banquet to defeat Harry, Snape glanced at Zhang Xu in contemplation and said, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?" ”
Originally, Snape just wanted Zhang Xu to hit Harry Potter on the issue of Harry Potter, and he knew that Zhang Xu was "based on facts and based on school rules". Zhang Xu did not jump into this pit, but changed the topic.
"I don't think it's an isolated incident." As soon as Zhang Xu's words came out, everyone present was taken aback except for Harlot.
"Ginny!" Ron looked at Zhang Xu and said nervously.
Zhang Xu nodded solemnly at Ron.
At this time, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Snape's faces also became serious.
"Did you find anything? Mr. Zhang. Dumbledore asked solemnly.
"Not yet, it's just my gut feeling, I vaguely feel that there is a necessary connection behind this, but further investigation is needed." Zhang Xu replied.
Dumbledore stared at Zhang Xu with his shining blue eyes for a long time, then nodded and said, "Okay." ”
