The impact of the burning of Zhangjialou was even greater than Zhang Xu expected, and the most important reason was that many drunkards who had already drunk a lot of alcohol that night witnessed Alector Caro almost being beaten to death by Zhang Xu in a fit of rage. （）

After two glasses of wine in the bar, the people in the bar will inevitably add fuel to what they see.

By Hogsmeade Week, the last weekend of April, Zhang Xu heard the version in the Three Broomsticks pub in the morning that he had single-handedly pinned a group of Death Eaters to the ground and beaten them to the next, and when the Aurors arrived, the blood on the streets could reach the surface of his feet.

The story of revenge, the burning of the house, and the beating of the Death Eaters the next day, is a story of revenge that has been enjoyed by the masses of the people who have seen too much news about the Death Eaters lately.

Although the real process of the story is very simple and can be summed up in two sentences, Zhang Xu still underestimated the power of the two most brain-loving people, the drunkard and the student, after joining forces.

In the afternoon, when Zhang Xu was teasing fish cakes in the café, he heard the version that the Death Eaters kidnapped a cat named "Oscar" that Professor Zhang kept in the villa before burning down Professor Zhang's villa, and then the enraged Professor Zhang bloodied the Death Eaters' den hidden in Hogsmeade and rescued the cat.

Professor Zhang got stuck in his throat and almost choked himself to death.

Such rumors created an unexpected situation in which a group of curious wizards came to Hogsmeade to visit the ruins of Zhang Xu's villa.

At noon, Zhang Xu saw many wizards and Hogwarts students wandering around the villa ruins from a distance, pointing and pointing from time to time, which made him think of collecting a round of tickets.

When Zhang Xu was playing Gwent cards with Cedric, who came to condole, in the café, Jiang walked up to Zhang Xu's feet, meowed a few times, and then pulled his trouser leg with his mouth.

Zhang Xu let Cedric, who was about to lose, go, and followed Jiang to the second floor.

When Zhang Xu walked into the living room, there was already a young and handsome male wizard in a suit.

When the wizard stood up and was about to say hello to Zhang Xu, the ginger who led the way seemed to be frightened by something, and turned around and ran away with a meow.

"I'm sorry, but I've always been a little liking to critters." The wizard looked at the fleeing ginger and said with some embarrassment.

Zhang Xu stepped forward, stretched out his right hand and said to him, "Hello, I'm Zhang Xu." ”

The other party also stretched out his hand to shake hands with Zhang Xu, and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Zhang." I'm Bell Grylls. ”

Since there is still a little time before the official meeting, the participants have not yet arrived, so Zhang Xu and Bell got to know each other first. After all, they have to work together next, and it is beneficial for everyone to be familiar with each other's personalities and hobbies as soon as possible.

Soon, the two found common ground.

"There are many rare magical animals and plants in the Forbidden Forest." Zhang Xu sat on the sofa and talked eloquently, "Many of them are original in the Forbidden Forest, and some of them have been brought by Hogwarts students or professors over the years. ”

"The most populous magical animal in the Forbidden Forest is the Eight-Eyed Spider, which was brought to the Forbidden Forest decades ago by a student at Hogwarts. However, a few years ago, I burned down a few Hogwarts students because they wanted to eat them, and then they were surrounded by the centaurs, and now they can only be found in the depths of the Forbidden Forest. ”

"How big is an eight-eyed spider? What are their characteristics? Bell asked curiously.

"When they become adults, they're like a car." Zhang Xu gestured and said.

"The flesh on their torsos has a very strange smell, which makes people lose their appetite when they smell it, but it is not poisonous, you can try it if you have a chance."

"But their eight legs are a good thing, and after being chopped off, they can be slowly roasted on a charcoal fire with their shells, and the meat inside tastes very tender, a bit like crabs."

"After burning off the toxic fluff that grows on the outer shell of the leg, you can put it in a soup pot to boil the soup, and the soup tastes good."

To be honest, now Zhang Xu has a little regret that he eliminated the eight-eyed spider too completely, which is not in line with the concept of sustainable development at all.

After Zhang Xu finished talking about the various magical mushrooms in the Forbidden Forest, Bell, who was talking about his sexuality, said, "Have you heard of the six-eyed flying fish? I met on the seaside while on a mission in Africa. ”

"It can discourage those who see it, and the locals use catching a six-eyed flying fish as a symbol of courage."

"The fish is rich in fat, and when it is wrapped in leaves, it can be cooked directly over the fire. When grilled, the bones and scales are crispy, while the meat is very tender. ”

The two of them just talked about the magical animals and plants they had encountered over the years...... The taste and how to eat it.

Of greatest interest to Bell was the millennium basilisk at Hogwarts, and after learning that its flesh was no longer in stock, Bell regretted not being able to study it. After Zhang Xu promised to send him a few younger basilisks for him to do research after a while, Bell was so happy that he almost bowed to Zhang Xu.

After the two met for almost an hour, the participants in today's meeting came to the meeting room one after another.

At first, Zhang Xu just wanted to burn down a few Bellatrix and their house to take revenge.

Who would have thought that after Zhang Xu looked at the surveillance video in the villa, he found that it was Voldemort who led the team at that time, and the role played by Bellatrix was not as big as expected at the beginning, while Antonin Dolokhov and several other Death Eaters were quite hardworking.

And the information from Rita Skeeter accidentally mentioned that Bellatrix Lestrange and their family had a property where there were many mysterious wizards in the secret land recently.

So Zhang Xu and Dumbledore summed it up, instead of burning the house, it was better to destroy its living force.

So under Dumbledore's cooperation, it turned into an arrest operation with the cooperation of the Order of the Phoenix, the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, the British Royal Military and Zhang Xu.

Originally, Rufus Scrimgeur, the head of the Auror Office, did not want to involve people from the British Royal Army, but recently the public voice has been boiling, and the Auror Office needs to brush up some performance to quell the voice of public dissatisfaction.

It's just that the location of the Lestrange family's house has changed from the countryside to the urban-rural area in the process of urbanization, and it is difficult for the Ministry of Magic to deal with the ordinary residents in the vicinity without the intervention of the British government.

In particular, this operation was carried out by Scrimgeour privately leading his henchmen Aurors, without filing and reporting to the Ministry of Magic, and if something went wrong, he couldn't eat and walk around.

Due to the large number of ordinary people around the place of this operation, the British government decided to intervene after learning this information from Zhang Xu to avoid harming innocents at that time.

And recently, Death Eaters have begun to attack civilians, and innocent people have been tortured and injured by Death Eaters, which makes it impossible for the British government to ignore Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

In this way, for the first time, all the necessary personnel cooperated with Dumbledore.

It's just that there are still many things that need to be involved in this kind of multi-party cooperation, unlike the Order of the Phoenix and Zhang Xu with a simple purpose, Scrimgeour and the British government both have to use this matter to brush up their political achievements, so everyone needs to set the part of the action that they are responsible for, as well as the rules for dividing the spoils afterwards, so as not to hurt everyone in the end.

Therefore, on such a sunny weekend afternoon, Dumbledore and Lupin, representing the Order of the Phoenix, Rufus Scrimgeur, representing the Auror Office, Bell Grylls and Horatio Rodney, representing the British government, and Zhang Xu, representing himself, had a cordial and friendly conversation in the living room and fully exchanged views.
