While Malfoy was quietly taking action, Zhang Xu was also busy with the things that gave him a headache.

Next month is the Easter holidays, when the three-school Quidditch match takes place at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

However, just two days ago, when Zhang Xu had just come out of the school doctor's room, Dumbledore called him over.

After a routine greeting and a cup of tea and dessert, Dumbledore got straight to the point.

"There's a little bit of a change in the three-school Quidditch competition at Beauxbatons next month." Dumbledore said.

Zhang Xu was a little surprised when he heard this, so he put down his teacup and waited for Dumbledore's next words.

Dumbledore continued: "During the match, the schools of witchcraft and wizardry in Russia, Kodos Dorez in Russia, the Wizardry in Japan, the Vagado in Uganda, the Castrobusche in Brazil and the Ilvermoni in the United States will be represented. Representatives from our eight schools of witchcraft and wizardry will come together to discuss the possibility of holding a Quidditch match between the eight schools. ”

Zhang Xu pondered for a moment, the top three tournament has been played by the three schools themselves since ancient times, although it doesn't matter if there are more schools for the Goblet of Fire, but the rules have always been like this, and there is no reason for other schools to interfere. But the three schools Quidditch are different, this is a new competition, and the participating schools take it very seriously, and everyone is happy to join in and play together if it is early.

Zhang Xu felt that this was feasible, so he nodded and said to Dumbledore, "This is a good thing, it can promote communication between schools." ”

Dumbledore also nodded and said, "That's true, so there's a high chance that this tournament can be held." As the initiator of the three-school Quidditch competition, I hope that you can make a few proposals for the eight-school Quidditch competition before then, and then I will personally lead the team to Beauxbatons to use it when discussing it with representatives from other schools. ”

Since the leader of the store has arranged the task, Zhang Xu can only take over this task.

Fortunately, Zhang Xu used to play the "Football Manager" series no less than the "Civilization" series, and when the time comes, it will be a matter of minutes to combine the group stage, the knockout round, and the away game.

With this arranged, Dumbledore came up with a new mission.

Dumbledore said to Zhang Xu: "When I am at Beauxbatons, I will focus on negotiating with other school representatives, and I hope you can help in the management of the players. ”

The leader wants you to contribute, so you naturally have to volunteer to contribute, there is nothing to say, Zhang Xu also nodded and agreed.

Then Dumbledore added, "I hope we can win next month's tournament." ”

This time it's the leader who sets the goal, this goal doesn't seem too difficult, and there is no problem if you work hard, but Zhang Xu will not agree to it so easily, this is the time to ask the leader for benefits.

After some negotiations, the two reached a series of agreements.

After negotiating a few terms, Dumbledore shifted the subject to several other schools of witchcraft and wizardry.

Then Dumbledore suddenly asked, "Zhang, are you familiar with magic?" ”

Zhang Xu nodded inexplicably and said, "I know it well." ”

Zhang Xu had seen a lot of information about the Japanese magic school on South Iwo Jima, and the stone slabs on the stone pavement in the back garden of his affordable villa were removed from the main building of the magic house, the Magic Palace, and Zhang Xu spent a lot of effort to retrieve them from the antique market of the alchemists.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xu knew why Dumbledore asked this question. Assuming that the Germans demolished the Hogwarts castle decades ago, the Germans now meet the Hogwarts school leaders in no more harmony than when Harry and Malfoy met.

After figuring out Dumbledore's concerns, Zhang Xu could only spread his hands and promise Old Deng that he would not take the initiative to cause trouble when he was in Beauxbatons.

The positive dividing line is positive

After dinner, Zhang Xu called all the members of the school team to the Quidditch pitch before today's training, and then began to convey the instructions of the school leaders.

Zhang Xu stood in the middle of the court, and more than a dozen regular members of the Hogwarts team and substitutes stood in front of him, waiting for Zhang Xu to start speaking.

"Today, I got an update from Professor Dumbledore." Zhang Xu said, "During the Quidditch match between the three schools during the Easter holiday, in addition to Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrand, there were also representatives from the five schools of magic and wizardry: Kodos Dorez in Russia, the Wizardry in Japan, the Wagado in Uganda, the Castrobusche in Brazil and the Ilvermoni in the United States. ”

As soon as Zhang Xu finished speaking, the team members chatted and discussed, and the news shocked them a lot.

Zhang Xu raised his hand and pressed it down, stopping the discussion among the team members, and then said a news that shocked them even more, "If this year's competition goes well, it is very likely that our eight magic schools will organize a Quidditch match in which the eight schools participate." ”

Hearing the news, there are not a few players who sigh with their heads down, these players are senior players such as twin brothers, if they really want to organize such a competition, they who have graduated can only be spectators.

"Let's calm down first, there will be more exciting news later." Zhang Xu said to Harry and a few of his elated team members.

"What's the news?" Fred asked.

"Is there a prize money for winning?" George then asked.

"That's right!" Zhang Xu replied with a smile.

Zhang Xu cleared his throat and said to the players who were staring at him wide-eyed: "Professor Dumbledore guarantees that if we win the championship, all the team members will receive a generous bonus, and the players who perform well will receive additional rewards!" ”

Amid the cheers of the players, Harry suddenly asked, "What if you don't win the championship?" ”

After Zhang Xu's two sneers, the team members quieted down, Zhang Xu's expression was a little strange at this time, and the team members were waiting for his next step.

"If you're not a champion, you lose." "I promise Dumbledore that if we don't win the championship, we'll all go to the Kellingley Coal Mine to dig coal. ”

The team let out a wail at the same time, and the twin brothers used broomsticks as hoes to imitate the action of digging coal.

"Fred, George, that's not how coal is mined now, and if you two can't hit the Bludger on the head of the opposing player, then you'll know how to dig coal." Zhang Xu said to the twin brother who was making a joke.

"You're kidding, Zhang." A member of the Snake Courtyard asked with a smile.

"I'm joking with Professor Dumbledore," Zhang Xu said, spreading his hands, "but Professor Dumbledore's expression didn't look like he was joking. ”

Then there was a wail.

After the players made a fuss for a while, Zhang Xu clapped his hands to attract their attention and said, "Okay, I'll say something to make everyone happy." ”

"Professor Dumbledore has approved that from today until the Easter holidays, the players on the team will not be required to do their homework."

"So do we have to practice every day?" Ron asked.

"This is obvious," Zhang Xu said as a matter of course, "otherwise why would you be exempted from your homework." ”

At this time, the team members reflected mediocre, although they got the benefit of not having to write homework, but everyone understands the truth that there is giving. Not to mention that there are prizes for winning, and if you lose, you may be punished badly.

Everyone thought that Zhang Xu was about to announce his disbandment, and when he started training, he said: "The last news, Dumbledore will come forward to hire the recently retired Quidditch coach Mr. Brian Clough to temporarily guide the training of our Quidditch team, Mr. Clough has agreed, he will start training with us tomorrow." ”

At this moment, the court suddenly became quiet, and the players all looked at Zhang Xu in amazement.

"What you said is true?" Ron, who was so shocked that his mouth grew up, asked Zhang Xu.

"That's what Professor Dumbledore told me." Zhang Xu said, "Tomorrow everyone will know whether what Professor Dumbledore said is true or false. ”

It is not surprising that the players who are familiar with the history of Quidditch in England were stunned by the news, Zhang Xu went to the library after leaving the principal's office and found a book on the history of Quidditch and flipped through it, after reading Brian Clough's experience, Zhang Xu could only sigh that Dumbledore's face was indeed big enough, which was similar to the old man Ferguson going to be a coach in a A club.
