The final match of the three-school Quidditch match was about to begin, and in the stands of the Quidditch pitch, Zhang Xu sat in the audience with Drogba, Romanoff, and the Yamada brothers talking about the last Hogwarts match against Durmstrang.

It's just that when chatting, several other people looked at Gabrielle, who had been sticking to Zhang Xu's side at every opportunity in the past few days, and their eyes were a little subtle. After they learned that Gabrielle was Zhang Xu's sister-in-law, they were so jealous that they almost separated.

The game the day before yesterday can be described as tragic.

Durmstrang used lethal tactics from the start, and Fred was brought off the field less than two minutes into the opening period, with Magnum substitute Zhang Xu taking his place.

Although Zhang Xu can also play well in the position of batsman, compared to the twin brothers with a tacit understanding, the power of Zhang Xu and George's combination is still a step lower.

However, five minutes later, Ron was hit by a deliberate Quaffle shot from the Durmstrang Chaser, and Ron became (・_●).

From this point on, the atmosphere on the court began to become hot.

Zhang Xu and George kept greeting the heads of the Durmstrang players with Bludgers, and they had the posture of losing if they didn't lose half of them.

Until the end, Harry Potter, whose face was covered in blood, grabbed the Golden Snitch, and half of the players on the Hogwarts side had been replaced, and the players on the field were all injured, and Durmstrang had no players to replace.

Fortunately, Ron, who was slightly injured and could not get out of the firing line, still played well, and George used his body to help him block the Bludger several times before being carried off the field, which made Durmstrang's goal rate not high. When Harry Potter finally caught the Snitch Gold, Hogwarts was fifty points behind.

It's just that when Gabrielle helped Zhang Xu's unlucky nose be drugged after the game, Zhang felt that he should be hurt more seriously.

Hogwarts, who have won both games, now have a goal difference of 270 points, and theoretically one of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will win a carnage and then grab the Golden Snitch after scoring 130 points, so as to win the final championship.

Just as the game was about to start, Dumbledore called Zhang Xu away.

In the corridor behind the Quidditch pitch, a grim-faced Dumbledore handed Zhang Xu a copy of the Daily Prophet.

On the front page, there is another photo of the black devil logo floating in the night sky, but the shooting location of this photo is a little special, below the black devil logo is Zhang Xu's villa burning with a raging fire.

Dumbledore looked at Zhang Xu's twitching face, and didn't know how to comfort him, so he couldn't say something like "It's like this, don't be sad" or something like that.

At this time, Zhang Xu was already furious, although he was ready for Voldemort and the Death Eaters to attack him, but he didn't expect them to burn his house, wasn't the old horse afraid that he would tie the pony to the bottom of the lake with stones?

Although there was nothing of particular value in the villa other than the laptop containing the full Harry Potter books, it didn't mean that the Death Eaters could burn it.

In particular, the books in the study are almost all copies of the Slytherin Collection, and many of them are treasures that dark wizards dream of.

If the Death Eaters had searched the villa before burning the house......

Thinking of this, Zhang Xu's mind suddenly flashed and he thought of something.

"Professor, I'm going to rush back immediately." Zhang Xu, with a black face, said to Dumbledore.

"Okay." Dumbledore replied dryly.

Next, Dumbledore directly turned the Daily Prophet into a portkey, and then handed it to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu spent two minutes saying hello to his friends he had just met, making an appointment to write to everyone when he was free, and after making an appointment with the two brothers Yamada Guinon and Yamada Hakamitsu to go to Akihabara together during the summer vacation, he spent another ten minutes comforting Gabrielle who was pouting, and finally activated the portkey and left by the Quidditch pitch.

The destination of the door key is near Zhang Xu's villa, and Zhang Xu, who has just landed, accidentally stepped on a stone and slipped under his feet.

Fortunately, someone on the side helped him in time.

Zhang Xu turned his head and just wanted to thank the well-wisher, but after seeing the person who helped him clearly, his eyes immediately became sharp.

"I'm not, I don't, I can make a note!" Lucius Malfoy said with a shake of his hand at 20 hertz.

"And who is it?" Zhang Xu squinted at the old horse and said.

"I can't betray that woman." Lucius Malfoy continued to shake his head.

"If I find out that this matter has something to do with you, you can go to the bottom of the lake and look for your son." The murderous Zhang Xu said to the old horse.

Then Zhang Xu ignored Lucius Malfoy, who had been waiting here for fear of his precious son's anger, and walked straight to the scene of the fire.

Lao Ma revealed enough information just now in order to keep his son, and he has already named the culprit.

Zhang Xu's villa was completely destroyed by fire, and until now, there is still a lot of white smoke floating in the ruins.

Many residents of Hogsmeade watched from the periphery, and they all got out of the way when they saw Zhang Xu returning.

When Zhang Xu passed by Mr. Froome, the owner of Duke Honey's candy store, Mr. Froome stuffed Zhang Xu with a bag of candy and told him not to be too upset.

Next to the ruins of the villa, Professor McGonagall and Scarlett stand next to Fudge, the Minister of Magic, and Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office, watching as the Aurors search for useful clues in the ruins.

Several people saw Zhang Xu, who had a black face, coming over and greeted him one after another.

Zhang Xu directly approached the Minister of Magic, Fudge, and questioned him in an emotionless voice: "Mr. Minister, when someone escaped from prison in Azkaban three years ago, there were many Dementors guarding Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. But dozens of people escaped from Azkaban this time, and there have even been incidents of escaped fugitives attacking people near Hogsmeade. Why haven't we seen half a Dementor at this time? ”

At this time, Fudge has changed a lot from when he came to Hogwarts last year, his hairline has moved a lot, and his whole person is a lot haggard.

In the face of Zhang Xu's questioning, he could only expect Ai Ai to say something like "I have my own national conditions again", and he didn't have the momentum of being the head of the British department at all, and Rufus Scrimgeur, who was on the side, frowned.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Xu couldn't trouble him anymore, so he found the reliable Rufus Scrimgeur.

Rufus Scrimgeour briefed Zhang Xu on what they knew so far.

The first to notice the fire was a drunkard who came out of the Pig's Head Bar at around three o'clock in the morning, and at the same time he saw the Dark Devil sign rising.

By the time the Aurors arrived, the fire was out of control.

According to the Aurors' on-site investigation after the incident, they only knew that someone had cast several fire spells on the house, but other than that, no other useful clues were found.

After listening to Scrimgeour's account, Zhang Xu asked a few questions, and after getting that there was no second place in Hogsmeade or even in the whole of Britain that was attacked by Death Eaters last night, Zhang Xu walked into the ruins.

After walking into the ruins, Zhang Xu realized that Professor Flitwick was also shuttling through the ruins, carefully looking for clues in the ruins, just like the Aurors.

"Excuse me, Professor Flitwick." Zhang Xu thanked the disgraced Professor Flitwick.

"You're back, Zhang." When Professor Flitwick looked up and saw Zhang Xu, he cast a cleaning spell on himself, making himself as clean and tidy as he was in class.

"Why bothered to teach you?" Zhang Xu said embarrassedly to Professor Flitwick.

"A few of them were not careful, and they missed a lot of clues." Professor Flitwick pointed to a few nearby Aurors and said, "They even got a few wizards who cast the Flame Spell wrong. ”

The Aurors named by Professor Flitwick had nothing to say, after all, they were all students of Professor Flitwick back then.

Zhang Xu, who already had a number in his mind, took Professor Flitwick and Rufus Scrimgeour directly to the study, and after turning over a few pieces of charcoal, he found a piece of metal that had been burned a little deformed by the fire from under the charcoal, and then found a small piece of melted metal embedded in the wood not far away.

Zhang Xu held these two pieces of metal in both hands and said to Scrimgeour who was standing beside him: "There is a door with a lock installed in this position, and these two in my hands are the lock body and the lock box. Now the two things are separated, indicating that the doorway, which was originally closed, was open when it was on fire. ”

Scrimgeour immediately summoned a few Aurors who were conducting clueless inspections in the ruins, and asked them to follow the locations of the rooms pointed out by Zhang Xu to look for traces of the locks in the rooms.

Some of the details in the house were unknown to the Aurors, and they could only rely on Zhang Xu to provide them with clues.

After a few minutes, the Aurors found that all the doors to their rooms were open.

Hearing the news, Zhang Xu's face darkened.

There were some things in his bedroom that the Death Eaters couldn't get.

Next, Zhang Xu and the Aurors searched carefully in the location of the study, and found that in addition to the laptop and mobile phone that had been burned to pieces, the bookshelves in the study had been emptied when they caught fire.

After searching the study, Zhang Xu and Scrimgeour told him that they would notify him of the new situation, and then left the ruins. After all, there are some places that are not easy to inspect under the noses of the Aurors.

On the way back to Hogwarts after leaving Hogsmeade, Professor McGonagall said to Zhang Xu, "Don't be too sad, Mr. Zhang. ”

"It's okay, Professor McGonagall. Thank you for coming early in the morning to help get in touch with the Aurors. Zhang Xu shook his head and said to Professor McGonagall, "Money is something outside the body, and if it's gone, it's gone." I was ready for this to happen in the first place. ”

"By the way, we've won two in a row at Beauxbatons, and if nothing else, we're the winner of this year's three-school Quidditch competition."

"You're going to leave it at that?" Walking on the other side of Zhang Xu, Scarlet did not give Zhang Xu a chance to change the topic.

"That's it." Zhang Xu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't knock on the door." ”

Professor McGonagall: "Just don't be too impulsive. ”

Scarlett: "Huh. ”

Professor Flitwick did not speak.

The group returned to Hogwarts Castle, and when they just walked into the foyer, Hermione, who had just come out of the corridor leading to the basement, saw Zhang Xu and hurriedly ran over and pulled Zhang Xu away.
