Chapter 385: Slug Evening

Harry didn't come to Zhang Xu's dormitory tonight for a supper, originally they had some new discoveries and wanted to talk to Zhang Xu, but they felt that it was not appropriate to discuss this topic tonight.

So after a late-night supper, the Harry trio casually asked a question about what to give for Ferenze's wedding and ran away.

"You scared them all away." Zhang Xu said to Scarlet while eating fragrant apple pie.

"Eat your stuff and talk less nonsense." After Scarlett finished speaking, he cut another piece of apple pie with a knife and stuffed it into Zhang Xu's nostrils with a fork.

Zhang Xu used a human transfiguration technique on himself, and his mouth turned into an exaggerated mouth like a character in a funny animation, and took the apple pie that went to his nostrils.

"You've done a good job of transfiguration." Scarlett said with some surprise.

"I have something more powerful, do you want to take a look?" Zhang Xu looked at Scarlet with a funny expression and said.

"Go show Professor McGonagall, she'll be interested." Scarlet said lightly.

“……”

After a while, the rest of the apple pie was eaten amid the sound of the two bickering.

After disposing of the plates, Scarlet said, "Alright, let's get down to business. ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xu asked strangely.

"Dumbledore has just returned, and he has decided to purchase a batch of fruit from Muggles to support the Centaur tribe, and the task of purchasing these fruits has fallen to me and Bubbaghy." "You're familiar with the centaurs, see what fruit to buy." ”

It is not surprising that Dumbledore made such a decision, Zhang Xu did not have many opportunities to send charcoal in the snow.

After Scarlet, Bubaji and the two attached great importance to this task, so even if it was some details, Scarlet had to come to Zhang Xu to ask him clearly.

Zhang Xu recalled the fruits that often appeared at the Centaur banquet in the past and said: "The Centaur tribe is very conservative, and it is good for them to taste the novel fruits, but it is definitely not good to eat them as meals, so just look for the kind of fruits they often eat." ”

"The main type of fruit is apples, and they all like to eat apples."

"You can also add some fruits that are common to the island of Great Britain, such as plums, chestnuts and grapes."

"If you want to start a war with the centaurs immediately, you can send them durians."

“……”

Dumbledore decided to support the centaurs with a large amount of fruit, which would take several containers to load, and it would be a problem to get them to the Forbidden Forest.

So in the past few days, when Scarlet and Bubaji were making plans, Scarlett came a lot to disturb Zhang Xu, who was brushing up on the exercises.

And this made it impossible for the Harry trio to discuss something with Zhang Xu.

However, it seems that Harry's affairs are a little urgent, and in order to discuss some things with Zhang Xu, he does not hesitate to participate in the slug party organized by Slughorn to block Zhang Xu.

When Zhang Xu came to the Potions professor's office with a girl from the Snake Academy, and saw Harry and Ginny appear together, he was really startled.

And Harry and Ginny, who participated in the slug party for the first time, were also startled by the girls brought by Zhang Xu.

When the girl went to say hello to the other classmates attending the party, a gossipy Ginny came over and asked, "Why did you bring Lawrence here, Zhang?" ”

"I picked her up in the hallway, and she didn't have much to do tonight, so I brought her here." Zhang Xu said lightly, the tone was like picking up a kitten on the side of the road and taking it to a coffee shop.

"Is that really it?" Ginny's face was full of distrust.

"What else do you think?" Zhang Xu is afraid of this little girl who is full of curiosity about gossip news, no wonder she will become a reporter in the future.

"I think there's other stories behind that." Ginny said with a twinkle in her eyes.

Zhang Xu sighed and said in a low voice: "There is indeed a story behind this......

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded beside Zhang Xu and them: "Can you share this story with me?" ”

"Good evening, Professor Slughorn." Zhang Xu and the others hurriedly greeted the comer.

Slughorn nodded to the three students, looked at the girl in the crowd who was greeting people around, and said, "My poor old friend Clover is gone, leaving poor little Miulie behind. ”

After Slughorn finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Xu meaningfully, the goblet in his hand shook rhythmically in a circle, and the red wine inside was like a whirlpool of blood under the candlelight.

Zhang Xu smiled and lowered his head to look at the chubby Slughorn, and said, "The elder is on the wrong path, that's the elder's business." I think that after the younger generation learns the lessons of the elders, they can make achievements that surpass the elders. ”

Slughorn and Zhang Xu looked at each other for a while, sighed, and said, "If they had listened to my advice in the first place, nothing like that would have happened. ”

"Then Mury, she ...... now"

Zhang Xu gave Slughorn a reassuring expression and said, "She fought for a chance for herself. ”

"Then I'll be relieved." Slughorn breathed a sigh of relief.

Harry listened to the conversation between the two of them as if he were listening to an Indian speaking English, and he seemed to understand it, but after two seconds he realized that he really didn't understand it.

Ginny, on the other hand, nodded thoughtfully, there were some things she had heard her parents and eldest brother mention, and she vaguely knew what the two of them were talking about.

In the next second, Slughorn's face changed to that kind of happy laughter, and he took Zhang Xu in one hand, and said to Harry and Ginny at the same time: "Come on, young people, I heard that you are all good at Quidditch, and tonight I will introduce you to Gwenog Jones, who is the captain of the Holyhead Harpy team, and I am sure you will have a lot of common language." ”

Slughorn took them to the center of the office, where a stinky-looking man sat at the table. Ron, with his eyes shining with stars, was sitting next to him and talking to him vigorously, while he ignored Ron.

Seeing that her sixth brother was so unbearable, Ginny thought that she should be able to perform the Avada Death Spell at full power by now.

Zhang Xu remembered that Zhang Qiu had mentioned this person to him, and he was a famous player on the English Quidditch pitch.

Just by looking at his expression, you can know that he is the kind of person who has won a lot of honors and praises, and then his heart is inflated and then self-centered.

In fact, it is very simple to deal with this kind of person, as long as your fame and honor are stronger than his.

After chatting for a few words, Zhang Xu found that the other party's attitude was not friendly, and after saying a few more words, he found an excuse to leave.

After Zhang Xu left the table, he walked to the table full of snacks, which was why he promised Slughorn to attend his party.
