Chapter 108: The Crimson Demon's Return
On the way back to Hogwarts Castle from the screaming shack, Zhang Xu had a question mark in his mind.
If the person who gave Harry's broom wasn't Blake, then who would it be?
Zhang Xu thinks that it is possible that Blake got the order from other places, but this is unlikely.
If Black is excluded, no one else needs to give gifts anonymously.
Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Lupin could have given Harry a broomstick. Hogwarts had just handed out this year's welfare allowance just before the Christmas break, and the professors' pockets were bulging. But there was no need to be anonymous in their words, just give them to Harry in the open.
The same is true for the Weasleys. Money is not a problem, their family has made a lot of money in the past few months, and besides, this store is theirs, so you don't need money. Recently, even Draco Malfoy's daily taunts of Ron stopped saying that their family was poor, and instead ridiculed their family for being nouveau riche. They didn't have to anonymously send a broom to Harry.
Suddenly, Zhang Xu thought of a person, a dead tsundere who had been silently caring for and loving Harry behind his back, but never refused to show it in front of him. If the broom was given to Harry by Snape, then the financial resources, motives, and reasons for anonymity all make sense.
Zhang Xu returned to the dormitory and saw that his bedside was full of Christmas presents.
In addition to past friends, there are a few gifts that are a little special this year.
Bill Weasley sent a stone tablet from the inside of the Egyptian pyramids, which depicted the ancient Egyptians celebrating the harvest.
Mrs. Weasley gave him a hand-knitted sweater with the word "Zhang" on it, and Zhang Xu knew that it was her gratitude for saving Harry. At the same time, there was also a letter inviting Zhang Xu to visit their home during the summer vacation.
Snape gave him a potion of scarring effects.
Luna sent this year's bound edition of "Singing Against the Tune".
Zhang Xu's relatives and friends in China basically have no habit of giving Christmas gifts, only money will always give him gifts at Christmas.
When I opened the gift from Mr. Qian, it was a model of an A4 paper-sized golden wheat field, and the ripe ears of wheat were like a breeze blowing.
Suddenly, a cute wolf sprang out of the wheat waves, and after the cute wolf roared in the sky, he wandered around in the wheat field.
Zhang Xu put the wheat field on his desk, next to the magic power that will play "Cagayake!" GIRLS' figurines of tea time after school.
Zhang Xu opened all the Christmas gifts and found that there seemed to be one person missing. Upon rechecking, he found that there were no gifts from Scarlett.
"Could it be that the 'eldest lady is full of majesty and squatting to defend the figure' that I gave her made her angry?" Zhang Xu thought.
Just as Zhang Xu was about to go to bed, the door of his dormitory was opened.
Wearing a thick winter dress mainly pink with a red ribbon, Scarlet walked into Zhang Xu's dormitory.
Since Zhang Xu introduced her to Remilia's style of clothing, she has liked this kind of clothing matching, and her daily clothes are in this style.
Zhang Xu, who couldn't figure out the situation, looked confused. What is the rhythm of Cao Cao? I knew that this would happen, and I just thought that Bill on the other side of the Atlantic would give him all his shares.
"I'm back." Scarretla sat next to Zhang Xu in a chair.
"Just got back." Zhang Xu said, "What did you tell me to come back early?" ”
Scarlet glanced at the empty box on the ground and said to Zhang Xu: "Isn't it sad that you didn't receive my gift?" ”
"Uh......" Zhang Xu didn't understand what the situation was.
"I'm here to give you a present." Scarlet smiled and said to Zhang Xu, "At the same time, it is also to repay you for saving me back then." ”
Gratitude! Gratitude! Gratitude! Scarlet is here! Scarlet is here! Don't give Zhang Xu any chance to refute! The eldest lady of the great Scarlet family, she has inherited the glorious tradition of repaying kindness! Bai Suzhen, Tianluo Girl, and Dongting Lake Dragon Girl are possessed by their souls at this moment! Scarlet is alone, she represents the tradition of a history of gratitude! At this moment, she is not fighting alone! She's not alone!
Looking at Scarlet, who was almost three times his age, but his appearance and body size didn't look much older than him, Zhang Xu thought to himself that he was from it, or from it?
Zhang Xu suddenly thought that she would only turn fourteen at the end of the month, and if something happened in the future, she would go to prison.
Forget it, Zhang Xu thought, it's okay if you don't find out.
"How are you now? Why don't you take a break tonight and talk about it tomorrow? Scarlet asked.
Seeing Zhang Xu shaking his head, Scarlet stood in front of him and took his hand.
"Come on."
Zhang Xu was pulled up by her in a daze and followed her.
By the time Zhang Xu reacted, he and Scarlet were already standing in the Slytherin secret room.
"Does she like it? It's exciting to think about, and I'm not afraid of being discovered. Zhang Xu thought.
"Wait, why are you a parseltongue?" Zhang Xu regained his normal thinking ability, and immediately thought of something wrong, and it was Scarlet who brought him all the way.
"Why can't I be a parseltongue?" Scarlet asked rhetorically.
"I remember that the people at Slytherin House studied your family's genealogy and found that your family has nothing to do with the Slytherin family." Zhang Xu replied in surprise.
"It was an accident hundreds of years ago that outsiders didn't know about. [/ forgiveness]
Zhang Xu looked at the sky speechlessly...... Flower boards.
"Then the question comes," Zhang Xu said, "Why would the person surnamed Fu attack your family, didn't he attack the pure-blood family?" Also, you knew about the secret room last year? ”
"I'll tell you the first question later." "As for the Chamber of Secrets, don't say you don't know about it beforehand. I can think of such a method to find help from the Xu family in Hangzhou and record all kinds of words in the Parseltongue dialect, I can't believe you can't think of it. ”
Zhang Xu could only "hehe".
"Alright, let's talk about the gift I gave you." Scarlet said as he walked to the Slytherin statue with Zhang Xu in front of him, "That guy surnamed Fu has not received the historical inheritance of the Slytherin family, and he doesn't know the true purpose of this secret room, thinking that this is just a place to raise basilisks. On the contrary, our family has a record of this, and understands that the basilisk is only the real keeper of the Slytherin here. I came once when I was in sixth year, passed the test set by Slytherin, and got the real secret of Slytherin. This vault can only be opened by the descendants of Slytherin, but in addition to our Slytherin descendants, we can also let people we approve go in and participate in the test, and those who pass the test can also get the Slytherin vault. If you pass, remember to choose only one, or you will pay an unacceptable price. ”
At the end, Scarlet sighed.
