Everyone came to the empty room on the top of the tower and began to set it up under the command of Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu sent back the structure and size of the room early in the morning after seeking Dumbledore's consent, and now the furniture and supplies in the box are tailored to the room.

First, he took out a carpet with a shrinking spell from the box, and after placing the carpet in an empty room, Zhang Xu lifted the shrinking spell on the carpet, and the carpet began to grow larger and spread all over the room.

Then Zhang Xu took out a shrunken door and replaced the original door of the room.

Then Zhang Xu cast a spell on the carpet and several places in the doorway, and the carpet and the doorway flashed for a while before they dimmed.

"George, Fred, you say a few words out loud." Zhang Xu said to the twins.

"Say what?"

"How loud?"

The twins said in louder voices than usual.

The next moment, the carpet under the twins' feet lit up, and the twins vanished.

Harry on the side was a little dumbfounded, and just as he was about to ask a question, the door of the room was opened, and the twins hurried in, but before they could take two steps, there was another burst of light, and the two disappeared again.

This time the twins pushed the door open and walked in, then spoke in different voices, then ran and walked until one flash of light after another was teleported out of the room.

After a few attempts, the twins were able to test the bottom line of sound and walking speed.

"Asahi, that's amazing, how did you do that?" Fred asked.

"You can't apparition in Hogwarts." George said.

Harry and the others were also puzzled.

"This carpet and that door are a set of magical items that can teleport people who talk and run loudly on the carpet out the door." Zhang Xu explained to everyone, "This is a small privilege granted by Professor Dumbledore, after all, I can't be an administrator in the reading room all day. ”

Then, Zhang Xu instructed everyone to start arranging the reading room.

Harry and Ron were responsible for placing the shrunken bookshelves, tables and chairs in the marked places on the carpet, while the twins were responsible for enlarging the shelves, tables and chairs.

Hermione and Zhang Qiu were in charge of setting up the chandelier and some other furniture.

Zhang Xu is responsible for putting the books on the corresponding shelves.

Since the reading room has changed from the originally envisaged dormitory to the top floor of the tower of several hundred square meters, the books that Zhang Xu originally brought were not enough. After contacting Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao sent a large number of books along with the furniture in the reading room.

Zhang Xu and the seven of them worked hard for a morning before the entire reading room was arranged.

In the circular reading room, the bookshelves form a three-tiered circle, leaving a passage between the bookshelves for people to pass.

In the middle of the circle surrounded by bookshelves are rows of long tables and matching chairs for readers.

On the outermost window wall, under each window is a coffee table and a pair of sofas, separated by a screen.

Unlike other rooms in Hogwarts Castle that lacked windows, Zhang Xu asked Dumbledore to open a lot of windows in the room early in the morning, making the whole room brighter. Now every window is equipped with carved wooden windows in the Chinese style. Wooden windows with magic applied to prevent the entry of rain, fog and high winds in bad weather.

On the ceiling of the reading room, there are Crystal Palace lamps, which provide illumination at night.

On the walls and in some spare places, there are ink landscape paintings and a trellis with a pot of orchid-like plants.

Looking at the fruits of his morning's labor, Zhang Xu's friends were stunned.

The whole reading room adopts the modern Chinese style decoration style, which retains the classical and elegant characteristics of the traditional Chinese style decoration, and integrates the concise and bright characteristics of modern decoration.

The tables and chairs are all mahogany furniture with clean lines and Chinese charm, and each chair and sofa is upholstered with a silk outer.

The enchanted lacquer screen in the private seat room can isolate the sound of the face.

The carpet painted with traditional Chinese patterns on the floor marks different areas of the reading room with different patterns.

Zhang Xu just wanted to shout 666 to the designer of this decoration style at the moment, such a low-key luxury and connotative design would definitely shock the wizards and wizards of Hogwarts, just like the six friends around him now.

Zhang Qiu is okay, he has been to Zhang Xu's home several times in recent years, and he has been mentally prepared for these decorative styles.

Harry and Hermione, who grew up in the Muggle world, had seen the Chinese-style décor more or less from books and television, and it didn't take long for them to calm down.

The most surprising thing was the three Weasley brothers who had been living in the wizarding world, and they were directly stunned with expressions of this kind of operation.

Zhang Xu clapped his hands and said to everyone: "Let's all come and rest for a while, it's no problem for Professor Dumbledore to come over and see it, the reading room will be open in the afternoon." ”

Zhang Xu took the other six people to a private seat with the best scenery outside the window.

This elegant seat was specially given to him by Zhang Xu, and he also imposed a confusion spell, without Zhang Xu's consent, others would not notice here.

Zhang Xu sat down on the sofa by the window, Zhang Qiu sat next to Zhang Xu, and Hermione sat next to Zhang Qiu.

Harry and the other four boys huddled on the couch across from the coffee table.

Zhang Xu picked up the display card placed on the table, clicked on it a few times, and a set of tea sets immediately appeared on the table, a matcha cake in front of everyone appeared on a plate, and a plate of cookies appeared in the middle of the table.

"You've been busy all morning, you're welcome." Zhang Xu waved his wand, and the teapot on the table automatically poured a cup of black tea for everyone, "The reading room is not as strict as the school library, everyone can drink tea and eat snacks by the window." In these positions, people can talk louder, and the screen in the back casts a spell so that the sound from the seats does not affect the rest of the place. ”

Zhang Xu took out another piece of paper, used a pen to write an invitation letter inviting Dumbledore to the reading room, and then used his wand to click on the paper, "Professor Dumbledore." ”

Then the paper folded itself into a thousand paper cranes and flew away.

Zhang Xu took out five crystal balls and handed them to the three brothers, Harry, Hermione, and Weasley, "This is good, the crystal ball that can check the magic power for you." ”

The twin brothers happily took the crystal ball and thanked them repeatedly.

Harry and the others wanted to refuse, but they accepted it at Zhang Xu's insistence.

"Xiao Xu, how did you meet these friends?" When everyone was drinking tea and eating snacks and chatting, Zhang Qiu, who only knew that Zhang Xu had such a few friends in the Lion House today, asked Zhang Xu.

"Hermione met on the train." "Harry and Ron met in the room before the sorting ceremony. ”

"As for this pair of Mr. Weasleys." Zhang Xu glared at the twin brothers angrily, "They got entangled the day I cleaned up the Peeves." ”

Zhang Xu didn't want to make a "plot character" at the beginning, but the development of things did not depend on his own will.

Zhang Qiu is a relative, so there is no way not to know this.

On the first day on the train, Hermione, who couldn't find a seat, entered Zhang Xu's carriage where Zhang Xu was alone, Zhang Xu didn't recognize Hermione at first, and the two met after chatting for a while.

Zhang Xu scares Ron and Harry before the sorting ceremony, and the two of them remember Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu has a hobby of soaking in the library, which he brought in his previous life. He often saw Hermione in the library, and Hermione asked him a lot of magic questions on the train that day, and found that he was very knowledgeable, so Hermione often asked Zhang Xu for advice, and then the two became friends.

After Harry and Ron met Zhang Xu a few times in the library, they found out that he was no less than Hermione's top student, so they asked him for homework. And Zhang Xu didn't answer directly, just suggested which book to read, and the two found that every time they followed Zhang Xu's suggestion, they could always find the answer to the homework in the book, so they kept asking for advice, and over time everyone became friends.

Neville regarded Zhang Xu as a friend after Zhang Xu helped him find the lost toad on the boat that day, and Zhang Xu felt good about this late-blooming wizard and made friends with him.

And the twin brothers, after hearing that Zhang Xu had cleaned up Peeves, took the initiative to find Zhang Xu to ask for advice on how to deal with Peeves. Zhang Xu naturally couldn't tell them about the exorcism, he only blamed it for a certain magic item. Then the twin brothers sell their prank items to Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu proposes to revise them after reading them, and then the three of them mix up to study prank magic items and prank spells. The pseudo-fire spell that Zhang Xu used on them today was studied by the three of them together. Zhang Xu heard that one day the twin brothers had grown up and "set fire" the entire common room of the Lion House, causing panic among the students, and later the twin brothers were caught by Professor McGonagall and reprimanded.

As soon as Zhang Xu and Zhang Qiu finished talking about their friends, Dumbledore arrived.
