When Hallie and her party returned to the village of Ottery-St. Cachpole before dinner, they found Zhang Xu fighting several owls that had been sent by Hogwarts to deliver Zhang Xu's and several other students' book lists and other documents for the next semester.

The owls flew around the village from morning to night, and when Zhang Xu appeared outside the Burrow's protected area, the owl in charge of looking for him landed at his feet weakly, and then the owls looking for Harry and Ginny also flew over. It's just that these owls are hungry and dizzy, and if Zhang Xu doesn't give them food, they won't want Zhang Xu to untie the letters tied to their feet. Then they were all knocked out by Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu was holding a stack of letters and just wanted to go back when he saw Hallie and his party returning from shopping, so he hurriedly stepped forward to distribute the letters.

"Ron, this is your letter." Zhang Xu handed him a letter with Ron's name written on it.

Ron, who was weak, didn't say anything more after thanking Zhang Xu, but silently opened the book list.

Then Zhang Xu handed her two letters with Hermione's name written on them, and said, "This is a letter from the president of our female student council. ”

Ignoring the elated Hermione, after Zhang Xu gave her Ginny's letter, he glanced at Harley, who was dressed up next to her, and then continued to say to Ginny: "These are Harry's letters, you can hand them over to him when Harry comes back." ”

Harley, who had a loveless expression just now, snatched the letter from Zhang Xu's hand, and then glared at him fiercely.

Seeing Harley with a coquettish face, Zhang hurriedly went to Gabrielle to stabilize her three views.

Zhang Xu took the snacks that Gabrielle specially sold to him, while listening to Fleur count her achievements in scanning the mall today.

When the group approached the Burrow, they were surprised to develop a large number of guests gathered around the Burrow, and it seemed lively for a while.

Earlier today, all the guests from abroad arrived, including the family of Cremence Posey from France, the family of Tonya from Russia, the entire Quidditch national team coached by Charles from China, and Aunt Adams and Rolf Scamander from the United States. In addition, there are a number of colleagues from Africa and other places when Bill used to work at Gringotts, as well as colleagues from all over Europe when Charlie used to work at the dragon farm. Such a large group of people almost put together the European theater of World War II.

"Rove, come here."

When he was about to walk into the courtyard of the Burrow, Zhang Xu called Rove aside.

"What does Ms. Adams do?" Zhang Xu asked him this question that he had been holding back for a while.

Rove, who had heard a lot about Zhang's special "hobbies" in the past two days, suddenly became alert, and he replied, "Aunt Adams is an Auror of the Magic Council. ”

"I see." "So do you know what she was doing 30 years ago? ”

Rove, who didn't know that he had been subjected to a small spell by Zhang Xu, replied truthfully: "I don't know, but I once heard my mother say that Aunt Adams was sent by the Magic Council to work on the No-Maj side for a period of time when she was young. ”

Zhang Xu couldn't get any further answers, so he let Rove leave.

After Rove left, Lupin came over, and the conversation between Zhang Xu and Rove just now did not avoid him.

"Is there a problem with Ms. Adams?" Lupin asked.

Lupin and Blake have been tasked with Potter's security lately, which has made him a little paranoid.

"Do you still believe me?" Zhang Xu asked a little unhappily.

Now the Order of the Phoenix regards the Burrow as its headquarters, but the members who appear from time to time look at Zhang Xu with deep suspicion, which makes Zhang Xu very unhappy.

It wasn't that he couldn't tell them about lending the Elder Wand to Voldemort that night, but after Zhang Xu found out about their attitude towards him and some extreme remarks, he simply forcibly lowered his IQ like the protagonists in some networks, so that things that could have been explained could have continued to be misunderstood.

Lupin just said calmly, "The letter Dumbledore left tells us that no matter how things change, you can be absolutely trusted. ”

"Apparently Dumbledore didn't expect me to meet the mysterious man at his grave and be caught by you." Zhang Xu said to Lu Ping, "Will you still believe me?" ”

Lupin was silent for a moment before saying, "We believe Dumbledore, he said you can absolutely trust, then you can absolutely trust." ”

There was nothing wrong with Lu Ping's words, but Zhang Xu didn't plan to take the Order of the Phoenix with him next, so he didn't say anything.

"Lady Adams is an Auror of the American Council of Magic, and a very powerful Auror." Zhang Xu said to Lupin, "I didn't expect that Tanya Adams, who made a name for herself in Vietnam, would be Mrs. Weasley's cousin." ”

"Is she amazing?" Lupin asked.

"Her strength, if she is talking about people, she will refer to 'Mad-Eye' Moody, and if she blows up a house, she will refer to Percy." After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he went back to the garden of the Burrow.

Seeing Zhang Xu leaving, Lupin also walked towards Blake.

Tomorrow is the wedding party, and tonight is the time for the two couples-to-be to hold a bachelor reception to say goodbye to their single life.

The reception was divided into three venues, with the bridegroom-to-be hosting a men's reception in Black's tent, the bride-to-be's ladies in Scalett's tent, and the older guests who were not in the company of the younger ones being hosted by the Weasleys in the Burrow.

So today, the kitchen of the Burrow is very busy, and many customers have volunteered to help. Zhang Xu left the Burrow just now to purchase some materials.

As soon as Zhang Xu walked into the kitchen, a bald head said to him: "Davarich, these carrots will be handed over to you, you peel them and cut them into pieces." ”

"No problem, Comrade Yuri." Zhang Xu said after taking the basket of carrots in Yuri's hand.

Zhang Xu used the Imperial Kitchen Knife to attack the Carrot Gate while chatting with Yuri, who was handling onions and tomatoes next to him.

"My poor brother Boris, he is two months away from seeing his granddaughter little Tonya in her wedding dress." Yuri said as he chopped the onion, "Boris is the best brother in the family and me, we fought together in that war, and after the war we went to Lubikayan together. If he hadn't blocked the enemy's reinforcements, I would have been burned by Grindelwald more than just my hair. ”

After the two chatted for a while about the war, Yuri looked at the kitchen knives flying in front of Zhang Xu, and then said: "When I was in North Korea, I once saw a volunteer soldier in your country who could manipulate thirty-six explosive bags to blow up Yankee tanks. At that time, I counted them one by one. ”

"At that time, about three platoons of Yankee's tanks braved their own artillery fire to drive to the front of the position, and then he flew over with an overwhelming bag of explosives, blowing up all the tanks and the infantry behind."

"Later, when he started cooking dinner, he was using a kitchen knife to peel and dice the potatoes of the whole battalion, just like you. He told me that this was the best way to practice, and that he would become a chef when the war was over. ”

Zhang Xu listened to Yuri tell the story of many years ago, and cooked a big pot of borscht with him.

Tonight, after considering the dining habits of the people, except for Zhang Xu, who contributed a braised lion's head, the others were British, French and Russian dishes such as spicy roast chicken, pan-fried sturgeon, beef pie, braised veal in white sauce, stewed bean meat, charcoal-grilled lamb skewers, stewed meat and borscht.
