Elders should be mentors and negotiators, but not commanders. - Lu Xun

Dumbledore was a very competent elder, when you have a problem with him, he can often show you the way forward, when he wants you to do something, he will often fool you so much that you can't find the north, and then do what he says, if you don't want to listen to his command, he is also willing to discuss with you and solve the problem.

When Zhang Xu said that he wanted to keep the locket, Dumbledore thought for a moment and rejected his suggestion.

Dumbledore knew that if he gave the locket to Zhang Xu for safekeeping, it would be a meat bun beating dog.

Previously, Dumbledore wanted to return the Ravenclaw crown, but was finally rejected by Zhang Xu on the grounds that "what I picked up in the Room of Request is mine".

It was at that time that Dumbledore saw Zhang Xu's intention to collect antiques, so he had always been strict about Gryffindor's sword, and refused Zhang Xu's request to borrow it for appreciation several times.

The locket currently belongs to the Black family, Zhang Xu asked Blake if he was uncomfortable, so he asked Dumbledore, but Dumbledore saw his mind and rejected his request, and Dumbledore didn't want to be used as a pot borrowed by Jingzhou on his back.

Zhang Xu had no choice but to hand over the rice cooker with the sealed locket box to Dumbledore for safekeeping.

After dealing with the Horcrux for the time being, everyone was about to return to Hogwarts, when Blake suddenly remembered something and asked everyone to wait.

Almost ten minutes later, Blake was back in the living room.

"Harry, I'll give you this, I think you need it." Blake handed Harry an old piece of parchment and a photograph.

Harry took two things, and when he looked at them, he was not calm.

Zhang Xu walked behind Harry and glanced at it, and found that it was a letter written by Harry's mother to Black more than ten years ago, and a photo of Harry flying around on a toy broomstick when he was one year old.

Undoubtedly, this was a very precious gift for Harry.

Putting away the parchment and photographs, Harry and the others returned to Hogsmeade with a shapeshift.

After everyone returned to Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore took Harry with him, and the others went back to their dormitories.

Back at the professor's dormitory, Zhang Xu saw a note left by Flin saying that she and Gabrielle would go back to Beauxbatons tonight to live in the carriage.

After sending a message to tell Fleur that he had come back safely, Zhang Xu opened the map of the living spot to confirm that there was no one, and then ran to the prefect's bathroom to take a beautiful bath.

After returning from the bath, Zhang Xu returned to the dormitory, and after making a pot of tea, he sat in the rattan chair on the balcony and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

In the past two days, he has solved the matter of the locket, but he is tired enough, especially when he fought with Voldemort's soul in the locket just now, it was more tiring than fighting with the Yin corpse, and now his head is still hurting. Although he brought a lot of medicine, the medicine to solve mental trauma was not very effective, and Zhang Xu did not prepare for this at first.

Fortunately, after doing a check-up on myself, I was sure that there were no sequelae left in this confrontation, and I was fine after sleeping and resting.

Lu Xun said, "There are many races of people who are not complacent, always moving forward and always having hope." There are many races of people who only know what to blame and do not know how to reflect, and woe to them."

Zhang Xu is accustomed to three times a day before going to bed, especially after arriving at Hogwarts.

Thinking back to tonight's events, Zhang Xu found himself a little suspicious.

As Voldemort's footsteps got closer and closer, Zhang Xu said that he was not nervous.

Although there are life-saving hole cards, you can't run away without saying a word, and it's not a system stream with archives, so you can get rid of it if you don't do it.

Zhang Xu didn't think about lying down the "plot" at the beginning, but as he became friends with many people in Hogwarts, especially the people killed in the "plot", Dumbledore and Snape didn't care if they died or not, but Fred, Cedric, Colin and others, Zhang Xu couldn't watch them die young.

Not to mention that Cedric would become his own relative in the future. Zhang Xu was very satisfied with Cedric, and let him be his uncle Zhang Xu still raised his hands in favor.

Zhang Xu lay on the rattan chair thinking about things, and fell asleep unconsciously.

More than once, Zhang Xu suddenly noticed that someone was shaking his shoulder.

Zhang Xu, who woke up in shock, opened his eyes and found that the person who covered himself with the quilt was actually Zhang Qiu.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Zhang Xu asked strangely.

Zhang Xu had given her the password to teach her dormitory, but it was the first time she came over suddenly.

The funeral of Regulus ended at about six o'clock this afternoon, it took more than an hour to process the Horcruxes at Black's house, it was only eight o'clock when I returned to Hogwarts, and it was only nine o'clock when I returned to the dormitory after taking a bath in the prefect's bathroom, Zhang Xu looked at the watch that doubled as a Horcrux detector, and it was only ten o'clock in the evening.

"What, I'm afraid I'll come over and bump into your good deeds?" Zhang Qiu looked at Zhang Xu with a strange smile.

"No, I just thought that if you went to accompany Cedric, you wouldn't have time to care about your eldest nephew." Zhang Xu said to Zhang Qiu, whose painting style was a little broken.

"It's like you're a person of the opposite sex and inhuman." Zhang Qiu said as he sat down on another rattan chair next to him, "You really can't think about it, there are only a handful of people who can go back to the common room this year, and Luna has been waiting for you to tell her about those magical animals." ”

Zhang Xu did the math himself, and it was true. Before Halloween began, I basically went to the common room of Eagle Courtyard from time to time, and I basically didn't go back after that.

"Why did you think about coming over tonight?" Zhang Xu asked.

"Entrusted by someone, someone asked me to bring you medicine." Zhang Qiu replied, "When I came out of the kitchen and passed by the Potions classroom, I happened to run into Professor Scarlett, and she asked me to bring you the potions so that you could drink them while they were hot. ”

After speaking, Zhang Qiu took out a thermos cup from her treasure bag and handed it to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Qiu's treasure bag is a Christmas gift from Zhang Xu, although the volume is not as unnatural as Zhang Xu's own use, but it is also a high-quality product.

And Zhang Qiu's treasure bag is still a transformation of Chanel's new women's handbag, unlike Zhang Xu's treasure bag, which looks like a drawstring cloth bag, and you can COS Tinker Bell if you remove the drawstring on the belly.

After taking the thermos cup, Zhang Xu opened the lid and smelled the faint fragrance wafting from the cup.

After drinking it in one gulp, Zhang Xu almost didn't spit out the potion.

The bitter taste Zhang Xu will not be mistaken, it is the taste of Ningshen grass.

After pinching his nose and drinking all the medicine, Zhang Xu, who had a bitter face, immediately took out two sour plums and threw them into his mouth to dissolve the bitter taste in his mouth.

Not long after drinking the medicine, Zhang Xu's head, which was still swollen and painful, felt a lot more comfortable.

"Are you sick or injured?" Zhang Qiu asked with concern, "I haven't seen you for a day today, and her expression is also strange when I ask Furong, and I don't want to say it." I don't think you have something to hide, right? ”

Zhang Xu almost choked the sour plum in his mouth into his trachea, and replied helplessly: "It's just that I went out on business with Professor Dumbledore, and I suffered a little injury, so it's good to drink the medicine and sleep." ”

"That's good," Zhang Qiu said, "and remember to ask Professor Dumbledore for medical benefits for work-related injuries." ”

"Auntie, your painting style has collapsed!" Zhang Xu was speechless.

"Alas," Zhang Qiu said with a sigh, "how good it is for you to study hard at Hogwarts honestly, you have to promise Professor Dumbledore to be some kind of acting professor, and you have to give birth to so many rights and wrongs." ”

Zhang Xu spit out the sour plum kernel in his mouth, and then sighed.

"I can't help it." Zhang Xu said, "People are in the rivers and lakes, they can't help themselves, they fight for their hearts, and they forget about life and death." ”

"Don't talk about that, change the subject." Zhang Qiu said, "What are you doing with Professor Scarlett?" How do I think your relationship is abnormal, at first I thought I was going to call her sister-in-law, but now it seems that I can't call her nephew and daughter-in-law in the future? Do you want to pedal two boats, and a begonia tree to press pear blossoms? Although I know you like Fleur as old, I didn't expect you to like it so much? ”

"Can you not change the subject? I see that the topic just now is very good, and it is necessary to go deeper. Zhang Xu said with a bitter face.

"I can't." Zhang Qiu said with a gossip on his face, "Many people can see that the relationship between you is not simple. Didn't you say that the eyes of the masses are bright, and what everyone thinks this way is groundless? You see how much she cares about you, but Professor Dumbledore doesn't say anything about it. ”

"Didn't I tell you, I recognize her as a sister, and you are still her aunt according to your generation. Besides, my dad saved her back then, and you know about it. Zhang Xu said, "At the Quidditch World Cup, she said that I was her son, and that was when she was nervous to use me to scream in front of her friends, you have to be considerate of the feelings of older unmarried young women facing old classmates with children and daughters." And you told my mother about this incident at the beginning, my father was repaired very badly, and he came to England last year to ask for his guilt. ”

"Don't confuse your eyes, the relationship between her and her eldest brother has been made clear last time when the eldest brother and the second brother came over. The past is gone. Zhang Qiu said, "On the contrary, her relationship with you is very ambiguous, so you are not afraid that Furong will kill you with a firewood knife?" ”

"Don't gossip like that." Zhang Xu rubbed his brows and said, "The relationship between me and her is very pure, don't think nonsense." Other people chew the root of their tongues and trouble you to help persuade them, and you will also be responsible for the deviation in the future. And the matter between me and Fleur has already been decided, and when the time comes, I will go to get the certificate. ”

Now Zhang Xu would rather face Voldemort's noseless face than face Zhang Qiu's face full of gossip expressions.

"Really?" Zhang Qiuhu looked at Zhang Xu suspiciously.

"Of course, what do you want me to do? Looking for a little wife outside? Zhang Xu sighed and said, "She is also dozens of years old, can't she figure out the severity?" Do you think you're looking at Joan ○, the wives are all villains, and the junior is true love, that's because Joan ○ has been a junior for more than ten years, so she wrote it like this. ”

"I'll believe you for once." Zhang Qiu said.

"Don't be 'aborted', be sure to believe it." Zhang Xu said, "Back then, there were rumors that you and I had a leg, but it didn't turn out that it was all shrimp." ”

"Get out!" Thinking of the events of that year, Zhang Qiu himself felt funny.

finally dispelled Zhang Qiu's gossip thoughts, and Zhang Xu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, you brought this to my future uncle." Zhang Xu handed a paper bag to Zhang Qiu, "There is a manual in it, so that he must use it in the third game, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, there are too many strange things in this game." ”

Zhang Qiu took the paper bag, kicked Zhang Xu's calf with a red face, and then said goodbye and left.

Zhang Xu lay on a rattan chair, drank tea alone for a while, and then brushed his teeth and went to sleep.

When I woke up the next day, the days were back to normal, everyone was supposed to go to class, and everyone was supposed to rush homework, until one day Snape told Zhang Xu that the African tree snake skin in his office had been stolen again. （）
