As the night wore on, the storm outside Hogwarts Castle grew fiercer.

On one of the castle's balconies, the storm was magically kept out of the balcony, and only a slightly moisturey breeze could enter the balcony.

There is an eagle entrenched on the balcony...... Fog......

There were two rattan rocking chairs on the balcony, and Zhang Xu was lying on one of them, swaying with the swaying of the chairs.

In the middle of the rattan rocking chair is a coffee table made of rattan. On the coffee table was a pot of half-drunk honey chrysanthemum tea, and next to the tea set was an open map of the living spots.

There's a name on the map: Barty Crouch.

And Alastor Moody's name appeared not far from Barty Crouch at the same time.

Zhang Xu was holding a local newspaper of the British Muggle society, and in one corner of the newspaper was a missing person who was an old gardener named Frank Bryce in Little Hangleton Village.

This newspaper was sent by the "relevant department" tonight.

All countries in the world are collecting information on other countries' scientific, economic, technological, military, political, and other aspects, and China is no exception.

The collection of intelligence on the British magical society has never stopped.

A while ago, Zhang Xu lived in the Burrow for a week, during which Zhang Xu basically figured out the kinship between the main families of the British magical society and the personality characteristics of the main characters of each family through small talk with Mrs. Weasley, and even a lot of information about the main officials in the Ministry of Magic was also found out through small talk.

As the leader of the rebels in the British Wizarding Society, Voldemort's intelligence about him is the focus of the intelligence work of the British Wizarding Society, second only to Dumbledore.

Therefore, the intelligence gathering work on Voldemort's old home Gaunt in Little Hangethon Village, where Voldemort's hometown is located, and his father's home Del Mansion are part of the relevant work.

The information related to the British magical society was summarized by the "relevant departments" and sent to Zhang Xu once a week, who analyzed and sorted it out.

On the first night of school, the latest information was delivered to Zhang Xu. The newspaper about the disappearance of Frank Bryce, the old gardener of Riddle House, was sent along with other information.

After Zhang Xu saw this newspaper, he reasoned with reference to the "plot" and came to the conclusion that Voldemort had returned to England and was now hiding in Riddle House.

What makes Zhang Xu entangled now is whether to tell Dumbledore about this matter and let him form a group to brush the boss.

It's just that Voldemort's Horcruxes haven't all been wiped out at present, and he won't be able to kill him for a while, and even if he is caught, he can only be locked up. But a locked up Voldemort is more dangerous than a hidden Voldemort, and who knows what earth-shattering things those Death Eaters who escaped prison will do in order to save their boss.

If a rash action results in Voldemort's escape, it will only make him more hidden and more difficult to deal with.

In the end, Zhang Xu decided not to startle the snake easily. Voldemort can return to England after losing Peter Pettigrew, and Barty Crouch Jr. can be sent to impersonate Moody, Zhang Xu doesn't know what hole cards he has now, and Zhang Xu will not inform Dumbledore to deal with him until Voldemort's cards are forced out.

Zhang Xu, who had made up his mind, packed up the things on the balcony and went back to the bedroom to wash and sleep.

This is the dormitory that Zhang Xu has been assigned to as an acting professor, and he will move here this academic year. Well, there are some things that are inconvenient to do in the dormitory of Eagle Courtyard this year.

The next morning, the students in the cafeteria were chattering about the Triwizard Tournament, and everyone was speculating about who would end up representing Hogwarts.

"Will you compete?" Zhang Qiu, who was sitting next to Zhang Xu, asked.

"No," Zhang Xu said as he ate his bread, "I don't have that spare time." ”

"And who do you think will end up with?" Zhang Qiu asked.

"I guess it's my future uncle."

As soon as Zhang Xu finished speaking, his ribs were hit by Zhang Qiu's elbow three times in a row.

"Who's the loudest right now?" Zhang Xu asked Zhang Qiu while rubbing his ribs.

"You, Harry, and Hermione. Everyone thinks you have a way to cheat the age limit to enter the competition. Zhang Qiu replied.

Hearing this answer, Zhang Xu was a little speechless, the current students are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

Zhang Xu also heard some speculation just now that a certain professor would pretend to be a student to participate in the competition. Zhang Xu wanted to tell the student that the professor's age was still a year away from seventeen.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xu looked at the professor's chair and did not see the shadow of a professor who was sixteen years old and more than two hundred months old.

Zhang Xu hadn't seen Scarlet since he left the stadium after the Quidditch World Cup match, and he only saw her at the opening banquet yesterday. Zhang Xu had looked for her on the night of the World Cup riots, but he hadn't seen her until Zhang Xu went to the Burrow.

After breakfast, Zhang Xu left the cafeteria and went to the Charms classroom to prepare for class.

"Zhang, please wait a minute."

When Zhang Xu passed by a corridor where there was no one, a shout came from behind Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu turned around and found that the person who called him was actually Malfoy.

To Zhang Xu's surprise, Malfoy who walked towards him was actually a little twisted, so that Zhang Xu even ignored the fact that Malfoy's side did not follow him.

"What's the matter, Malfoy." Zhang Xu asked strangely.

"Uh......" Malfoy looked around, as if to make sure there were no other people or ghosts around.

Zhang Xu looked at Malfoy, whose painting style was completely different from the past, and felt the urge to take out the map to see if the pony in front of him had been transferred.

"There's something for you." Malfoy said as he pulled something out of the pocket of his robe.

Zhang Xu looked at what Malfoy handed to him, it was a pink envelope with a faint fragrance, and a red heart-shaped sticker was attached to the cover of the envelope.

Zhang Xu immediately took a few steps back, keeping a distance of two meters from Malfoy.

"Although I don't discriminate against love between people of the same sex, I already have a girlfriend." Zhang Xu raised his wand to stop Malfoy from taking a step forward, "My girlfriend you also met during the Quidditch World Cup, I love her very much, and we are going to get married after graduation." So it's impossible between us, so please die for me, or I'll introduce you to Harry Potter. ”

Zhang Xu felt that he was facing the biggest crisis since he arrived at Hogwarts, and when he was alone in the first year to dismantle the parts of the basilisk, he had never been so nervous as he was now.

At this time, Malfoy's originally pale face turned red.

"Nope! Not me! Don't talk nonsense! Malfoy finally let out a roar, "It's a distant cousin of mine who just arrived at Hogwarts this year, and she asked me to pass this letter on to you." ”

"Who told you not to explain it early in the morning, it scared me." Zhang Xu put away his wand, "You can help me return the letter." ”

Getting Malfoy, who has always been cold, to help deliver love letters, Malfoy's cousin doesn't seem to be easy. But Zhang Xu didn't have the heart to gossip, so he turned around and left after refusing.
