"Let me negotiate with Malfoy?" Zhang Xu looked at Scrimgeour sitting across from him in amazement, wondering if he should use some magic, physics, chemistry, and physics methods to do a comprehensive examination of him to see if he had been dropped or controlled by the Imperius Curse.

"Mr. Zhang, please put away the bricks in your hand." Scrimgeour moved back from the stool he was sitting on, "Don't worry, I'm not a Death Eater impostor, and I'm not being controlled. ”

"And what are you going to talk about with Malfoy?" Zhang Xu asked strangely, "Divide the Thames or divide England and Scotland?" ”

Scrimgeour ignored Zhang Xu's funny and said directly, "We plan to classify the St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital as a neutral area. ”

"Understood." Zhang Xu said.

"If you agree, the Ministry of Magic is willing to offer you a position as an Auror." Skrin is distinguished by the price.

Zhang Xu pursed his lips, it seemed that the matter of his angry rejection by Lao Ma was heard, and he said: "Forget it, your Aurors have no oil and water to fish, and I have no plans to work for your Ministry of Magic." ”

"And how can you accede to our request?" Scrimgeour asked directly.

"The ingredients for the five elixirs." Zhang Xu said.

"Deal." Scrimgeour agreed to the price as soon as possible.

The materials of the elixir are not precious to the Ministry of Magic, and the trouble of refining this potion is only the process of refining, and the slightest mistake in the process will fail.

And in this chaotic day, the elixir can be said to be a life-saving medicine, which led to the fact that when Zhang Xu was preparing to buy materials for refining recently, he found that many rare materials were already priceless. However, these materials are not available to individuals, but they are simple for the Ministry of Magic.

Slughorn still owes Zhang Xu a chance to guide him in refining the elixir, originally he planned to refine a pot of elixir before the end of the semester to be used in the later battles, but at the end of the last school year, Zhang Xu was driven back by Lao Deng to take the college entrance examination, so he was unable to refine the elixir.

And Harry's mind is now full of going back to the past to see his parents, and in order to be safe, Zhang Xu decided to bring a bottle with each person in case of emergency, so his current priority is to get some elixir.

After explaining the details of the negotiations to Zhang Xu, Scrimgeour left the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

"Professor McGonagall, what do you think about this?" Zhang Xu turned his head to ask the principal who had not spoken just now.

"That's a good thing." Professor McGonagall said, "If St. Mungo's is destroyed, it will do no one good. ”

Professor McGonagall then shifted the subject in another direction: "Are you familiar with the Greengrass sisters?" ”

"Uh......" Zhang Xu was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "It's okay, I have a good relationship with Daphne, and I have a good relationship with Astoria." ”

Professor McGonagall continued, "I recently learned that Astoria has a blood curse on her, and I guess Daphne is no exception. ”

"What kind of curse?" Zhang Xu asked with a frown.

“Maledictus.” Professor McGonagall said a word that Zhang Xu had a little impression of but couldn't remember what it meant.

Seeing Zhang Xu's thoughtful expression, Professor McGonagall explained to him, "A wizard with this curse can turn into an animal. ”

"Like us?" Zhang Xu asked.

Professor McGonagall shook her head and said, "We Animagus are free to change, and cursed people can only behave like Animagus when they are young, but when they reach a certain age, they will become animals forever and cannot be transformed back." ”

Zhang Xu stood up in surprise, and the single sofa he was sitting on was brought to the ground by him with a "bang".

He remembered that Astoria died when the child was not very old in the "plot", and thought that the so-called death was just a smoke bomb released by Malfoy, and in fact she should have turned into an animal.

For a person, turning into an animal is a very painful thing. After all, not all animals are like Zhang, who can be fed and sheltered and assigned to a wife by the state. If you're unlucky, you'll be cooked by someone who doesn't know.

"So the two of them ......," Zhang Xu said in disbelief.

Professor McGonagall nodded, then said, "Not long ago night, I saw Astoria transforming on a balcony where no one was around. Then she kept crying there, so I went over and asked. ”

After picking up the sofa, Zhang Xu sat back down.

"Since it's a curse, there must be a way to contact the curse." Zhang Xu asked while thinking.

As he thought deeper, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.

His ancestor, the Xu family in Hangzhou, may have had such a curse before.

However, he thought about it, the ancestor Xu Bai who was clearly recorded in the history books has been married to the Xu family for more than 800 years, and for so many years, he has been married to many families, including his Zhang family, and if something happens, he can't not hear the news at all. In this way, it shows that the curse can be lifted.

Then he thought of Fleur, Meiwa and humans are not reproductively isolated, so is Meiwa also a similar curse.

"What's wrong with you?" Professor McGonagall also noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu shook his head and shook aside the cranky thoughts in his head.

"Nothing, just thinking of some historical accounts that might be similar to them." Zhang Xu replied.

"There is actually a theoretical way to lift this curse, but there is no precedent for treating it." Professor McGonagall said.

"Unicorn blood?" Zhang Xu asked with a strange expression.

While the unicorn's blood can banish all negative effects from a person, it carries a curse with it. However, how to take the blood of a unicorn without being cursed has not been revealed to Hogwarts. If this method is made public, it won't be long before the existing unicorns become extinct.

Professor McGonagall nodded.

This is good news, but the problem is that after a few battles in the Forbidden Forest near Hogwarts recently, many animals have escaped into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

"Because you're familiar with the Forbidden Forest, I'm going to let you go to the Forbidden Forest to look for unicorns when you have free time." Professor McGonagall said to Zhang Xu.

"I think it's fine." Zhang Xu replied. （）
