When Zhang Xu returned to Hogwarts, it was already late.

In the kitchen, Zhang Xu used a copper pot to fill a small half pot of chestnuts and put it on the table.

There is a small chestnut forest on the edge of the forbidden forest, and Zhang Xu hoarded a lot of chestnuts in autumn.

Just as Zhang Xu was about to shell the chestnuts, the Harry trio came to the kitchen.

"You want to eat?" Zhang Xu asked.

The Harry trio nodded.

Zhang Xu filled the copper pot with chestnuts and handed it to Harry.

"If you want to eat, you can help with the work."

So Ron and Hermione sat down at the table and took out their wands to hull the chestnuts. Harry served shiitake mushrooms in warm water.

After turning off the alarm of the Horcrux detector on his wrist, Zhang Xu took a few pieces of chicken breast, put them on the cutting board, and cut the chicken into pieces with Shenfeng without a shadow, and the cutting board was not damaged.

If Snape was here, he might have beaten Zhang Xu.

Due to often practicing in the kitchen, after sacrificing many cutting boards, Zhang Xu's divine edge can be said to be better than blue.

After blanching the chicken, Zhang Xu used the Flying Charm to make a large casserole and put the chicken in.

Then he poured in the chestnuts and shiitake mushrooms that Harry had processed, and put in a few slices of ginger.

After adding water, Zhang Xu put the casserole on the fire.

While the chestnut stewed chicken was still cooked, the four of them sat around the table and chatted.

"At Christmas, someone gave me a Dongfeng 31 broom." "But I don't know who sent it. ”

Harry's Halo 2000 did not escape the fate of being beaten to pieces by the beaten willow.

Harry had developed a deep affection for the broom that Professor McGonagall had given him, and he had been sad for a long time.

And this Dongfeng 31 is a product against fire ballista arrows, and its performance is higher than that of fire crossbow arrows, but the price is only eighty percent of fire crossbow arrows. And this broom is on the path of hunger marketing, and it's not easy to think of it.

The England Quidditch national team ordered seven Dongfeng 31s before Christmas, and they vowed to rub the Irish team to the ground at the Quidditch World Cup.

"Have you ever wondered who sent it? Broomsticks are okay, right? Zhang Xu asked.

"I've asked Bill," Ron said, "that the broom was ordered by anonymous mail, and that the store delivered it directly to Harry's hand. Moreover, Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Bill had all checked, and there were no signs of evil spells on it. ”

The broomsticks produced in China use oriental spells, and if a British wizard wants to cast a curse on it, it is as conspicuous as writing a large paragraph in English in a Chinese book.

"In this way, the person who delivered the broom should have no ill will." Zhang Xu said, "Can you find out who it is in the store?" ”

"No," Ron said, "Bill said the order and the gold coins were sent by an owl from the post office. At the time, Bill thought it was a Hogwarts professor who was going to surprise Harry. ”

"Professor McGonagall said it was probably the same person who sent it." Harry said with some excitement.

Youth Magazine had just finished reporting on the basilisk incident, and the cover of that issue was a picture of Harry stabbing the basilisk to death. A week later, Harry was injured by a Dementor attack during a Quidditch match, and his broomstick was scrapped. However, the report did not say anything about how Harry was injured.

During that time, there was quite a lot of trouble in this matter, and the wizards who followed the news basically knew about it.

So when examining the broom, Professor McGonagall wondered if it had been given to Harry by the reclusive man after he found out that Harry's broom was broken. After using the method of elimination to eliminate the people Harry knew, there was only the good friend of Harry's father, who might have died back then.

Zhang Xu had to admire Professor McGonagall, and from a certain point of view, her reasoning was still very correct. Of course, the premise is that her thoughts were not taken to the ditch by Zhang Xu at the beginning.

Due to the Dementors scurrying around Hogwarts and around Hogsmeade this school year, activity at the Screaming Shack has stopped.

At the beginning of the school year, Zhang Xu set up the Screaming Shack to make it look like a secret stronghold for a few mischievous Hogwarts students. Then he pretended to leave out a product brochure from the Weasley's broom shop.

Now it seems that there is a good chance that the person who gave Harry the broom is Blake.

If it can be determined that it was the broom sent by Blake, then it can basically be concluded that he is not Voldemort's spy.

As for Spotted, he had time to place an order for the store, but he didn't have a chance to go to Gringotts to get the money, and Bill said that the order was followed by gold coins, not checks.

Zhang Xu decided to wait until he was full and went to the screaming shack to see if the order attachment at the back of the product brochure was still there.

"Who is 'that person'? Are you sure he won't be a danger to Harry? Hermione asked.

As Professor McGonagall examines the broom, Hermione hears Professor McGonagall and Harry mention "that man", but instead of receiving an answer, she is warned by Professor McGonagall.

Without useful clues, Hermione couldn't reason even if she changed her surname to Edogawa.

Now Zhang Xu in front of her obviously knows this person, so she turned the breakthrough to solve her doubts to Zhang Xu.

"Don't ask about this person, don't think about it, and don't look it up." Zhang Xu said to Hermione, "There's a reason why Professor McGonagall won't let me say it. ”

Looking at the spot who was eating chestnuts on the side, it was impossible for Zhang Xu to give him a chance to know about it.

A few people talked about other things for a while, and the chestnut stewed chicken was ready, so everyone happily ate the chicken together.

Leaving the kitchen, Zhang Xu, who was full of food and drink, decided to go to the screaming shack to have a look.

turned on the stealth, and Zhang Xu quietly came to the beating willow. After making sure there were no other creatures around, such as Dementors or Black Dogs, he stepped into the secret passage that led to the Screaming Shack.

In the secret passage, Zhang Xu found that there were many dog footprints on the ground, both in the direction of entering and leaving Hogwarts, and it seems that during this time, Blake entered and exited Hogwarts through this secret passage many times.

Entering the screaming shack, Zhang Xu carefully inspected it, and there were a lot of dog paw prints on the ground.

After discovering that Blake was not in the screaming shack, Zhang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, he had no plans to go to Blake now.

In the hall where the celebration banquet was held on the first floor, on the long table, Zhang Xu saw the catalog of flying broom products that he had deliberately left behind.

Zhang Xu pretended to drop the catalogue on the ground, but now it is placed on the table, and the stool in front of it has been moved. It can be seen that someone once sat in a chair and read this catalog.

When Zhang Xu opened the catalog, he saw that the order attachment at the back of the catalog was still in the catalog and had not been torn off.
