Chapter 410: The Troubled Britain

In the third class of the 1997 Apparition Shift Training Class held in the Hogwarts dining hall, when Wicky Tekros announced the start of free practice, the students present turned to the place where Zhang Xu was standing, and the four headmasters also stood around Zhang Xu.

Due to the fact that someone may have to be carried to the school doctor's office in a very short period of time, the door of the cafeteria was not closed during the class today.

Therefore, a group of powerful onlookers waiting outside the canteen also put away the snacks in their hands at this time, and all of them quietly looked at Zhang Xu who was standing not far from the gate.

Even Dobby, who was pulling a cart to sell snacks, pushed the half-empty snack cart into the corner, and then stuck his big head out from the side of the gate and looked at Zhang Xu with his big watery eyes.

Under this kind of strong onlookers, Zhang Xu felt a huge pressure on his body, and it seemed that if he didn't divide himself into two parts, he would be very sorry for the people who came to see the excitement.

When the phantom shifter appears to be separated, the power of space magic will protect the separated place in a very short period of time, which is also the reason why Zhang Mouren is not cool. However, if you don't connect the parts of your body in a very short period of time, when the magic power disappears, it will become a horror movie scene.

After suffering two failures and then being rescued, Zhang Xu was no longer afraid of being divided into several pieces by the phantom transformation on another level. Anyway, you can't die, so let's try a few more times.

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Xu first gave himself a mechanical mind to regulate his somewhat fluctuating emotions. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't use other magic while apparitioning, he wouldn't have had to break himself into pieces.

When he felt that his mind was like water and his distracting thoughts were completely gone, Zhang Xu first released his mechanical mind, and then according to the three "Ds" to pay attention to when using phantom shifting, he jumped and emptied himself while turning in circles.

The feeling of pulling when moving in space appeared on Zhang Xu's body again, and at this moment, the picture of himself safely appearing in the wooden circle appeared in his mind.

The next moment, there was a huge cheer inside and outside the cafeteria, and the sound even shook the candles floating above the cafeteria like a boat on the sea.

The four deans who were ready to rescue them all breathed a sigh of relief, and even Vicky Tycros applauded.

After Zhang Xu saw that he appeared in the wooden circle with all his beards and tails, the boulder that pressed on his heart was able to fall to the ground.

The surrounding students started their practice after a few minutes of commotion, and the students who were watching from the door began to leave.

In the following exercises, Zhang Xu found that learning phantom shifting is the same as learning to ride a bicycle, there is a window paper between you and not, and it is easy to pierce everything. So when he succeeded once, he found that it would not be much more difficult to use this magic later.

In the following time, Zhang Xu simply made two circles on the ground, and then "biu" and "biu" between the two circles.

When today's lesson was over, Wicky Tycros would be able to leave Hogwarts with a smile. As a teacher in an extracurricular training class, he still has a lot of pressure to find employment. If no one in a training session can pass this situation, he is not far from losing his job.

After this episode, Hogwarts went back to its usual routine.

Outside of Hogwarts, however, tensions grew so high that Hogsmeade Week, which the students had been waiting for, was cancelled.

Nearly half of the daily Daily Prophet is devoted to bad news, and the other half is devoted to the Aurors' advanced struggles against the Death Eaters.

And the letters brought by the owls show that the current situation is not as good as the newspapers say.

The Ministry of Magic, through the Daily Prophet, told readers that while the security situation was not good, it had not changed worse under the leadership of Minister of Magic Scrimgeour and the selfless efforts of the authorities......

And in the media of ordinary people in Britain, the Times, the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail all began to report that an unknown terrorist group had begun to attack civilian targets on a large scale. From Wales to Scotland, the British people seem to have returned to a time when they were dominated by the terrorist attacks of the IRA.

The IRA, which had been innocently shot this time, was now at the end of its negotiations with the British government, and in order to preserve this hard-won gain, they had to make frequent statements stating that they had nothing to do with the recent terrorist attacks. And the British government, in order to concentrate its efforts on resolving the island issue, also began to make some concessions.

Voldemort's approach objectively made the British government's attitude towards wizards worse and worse, and there were even some extreme voices in the government. Fortunately, these voices did not sound for long, and they were forcefully suppressed by the prime minister.

Faced with this situation, Dumbledore couldn't help but have a headache, this kind of smoky law and order war was not familiar to him, he was familiar with small-scale decapitation operations such as "taking the head of a general in a million troops".

What he has always done, whether it is founding the Order of the Phoenix, training Harry Potter, and connecting the various forces of the wizarding world to his side, all actions are premised on the death of Voldemort.

And now that Voldemort was hiding in the shadows, a large number of Death Eaters were blooming everywhere, and he was a little helpless to fight.

In the end, Percy Weasley came up with an action plan at a tripartite meeting in which each party was responsible for what it did best. The law and order war will be resolved by the Ministry of Magic and the British government together, and you and your Order of the Phoenix will just wait to find Voldemort and take charge of the king and the general.

Zhang Xu closed Percy's letter, in which he said that Dumbledore did not support or oppose this plan, but when Old Deng listened to his plan, his face did not seem to be very good for a moment.

In his reply to Percy, Zhang Xu reminded that the old revolution will inevitably be uncomfortable when it encounters new problems, but it should not ignore the experience and ability of the old revolution. In the process of communication, we must still pay attention to ways and means, and we must not let the older generation think that they are looked down upon, and we must not let the older generation feel cold.

Just as Zhang Xu was going to the owl room to send the letter, he heard a noisy sound from the top of the stairs, and it was getting louder and louder. As the panicked footsteps drew nearer, he stepped aside at the corner of the stairs. There are often reckless students running up the stairs in the castle, and getting hit by them is not a good thing.

Soon, Zhang Xu saw Harry rushing down the stairs with the unconscious Ron on his back, and Ron who was crawling on Harry's back spit out a mouthful of black blood as he passed by.

Not long after Harry ran over, Slughorn, who was fat as a ball, followed suit, his pale face and sweaty head, who didn't know if it was because he was tired from running or something else.

Zhang Xuleng thought for a while before he realized that today was Ron's birthday, and the unlucky child in the "plot" was poisoned twice because he ate the wrong thing.
