Chapter 676: There is Wine and Stories

There is a kind of helplessness in this world called when you tell the truth to others, and others think you are joking.

This happens most often on April 1, when a group of people take the opportunity of April Fool's Day to confess to others, and the other party is celebrating the holiday.

But now it's September, and the two siblings decided to reveal their backgrounds, but everyone thought they were "forced by the obscenity of a certain professor" and didn't tell the truth.

However, the rumors about the siblings' origins disappeared in a short period of time after a few days, and many of the older students began to keep silent about the matter, while others were distracted by the trivial aspects of their daily school life.

Only some people know that someone is behind the scenes, suppressing the limelight of this matter.

Zhang Xu, who knew about this from Rodney, just smiled, this matter has developed to this point and the situation is not bad, after there is some buffer, the impact caused by the truth will not be so big.

Finally, the first Friday of the new school year at Hogwarts arrived, and the students found that Professor Longbottom, who had been home for dinner all day, had hurriedly eaten something in the cafeteria tonight and left.

Instead of going home, Neville walked out of Hogwarts and turned around and walked towards Hogsmeade's Three Broomsticks.

In the past few days, the lobby has been divided into two pieces by a row of greenery in the three broom bars, and the one in the back has been chartered.

Zhang Xu, who has not returned to the UK for a long time, has been living in bed at noon, then eating breakfast + lunch, then lying in front of the window holding ginger or fish cakes to recover the discomfort caused by the hangover, and finally after dinner, he went to the Three Broom Bar to drink with his friends who made an appointment tonight.

Because there were too many people who wanted to meet when he returned to England this time, he had to invite people over in batches.

And now it's not the same as before, not everyone can sit together and talk about family life as before. For example, he didn't dare to ask Cedric and Percy out for a drink now, because the two of them would fight. So party affiliation was an important factor that he had to consider when arranging a party.

Another factor is the new enmity and old accounts between people, and Zhang Xu, who is not clear about the latest situation, will step on the landmine if he doesn't do it well.

Tonight, the people he invited were Neville, Harry, who was too busy with work to find time on the weekend, and Ron, who would only invite Harry after he invited him.

"I saw Luna this morning when I dropped a colleague off at St. Mungo's Hospital," Harry asked, "I didn't have time to say hello to her, was someone in her family sick?" ”

Zhang Xu scratched his head, "I invited a friend from Ravenclaw last night, as well as Lucy's brother, and we ended up with him in St. Mungo's Hospital. ”

Harry angrily banged on the table with the wine glass in his hand, "I'll turn my face if you say this again!" ”

The other three guys, however, were just enjoying themselves, ignoring Harry's protests.

Before everyone was drunk, Neville asked, "Zhang, what's going on with those two Black students, they say they're Voldemort's children." ”

Zhang Xu found that Ron was drinking, so he waited for him to finish taking a sip before saying, "The two of them were originally Voldemort's children." ”

No one squirted out a mouthful of wine, and Neville and Ron looked at Zhang Xu in amazement, and then the two of them noticed that Harry was calm.

"Harry, do you know about this?" Ron asked.

Harry nodded and said, "I just found out a while ago. I don't want to interfere too much in this matter, after all, they're just kids, so so be it. ”

Ron shook his head and said, "Just because you don't want to interfere with some things doesn't mean that others won't interfere." ”

Zhang Xu frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Now the Weasley family is very wild, so Zhang Xu does not doubt that Ron will know some news that few people know.

Neville seemed to know something, and his brow furrowed.

"Just a bunch of Death Eaters who weren't willing to let Voldemort fail." Harry whispered, "They've been looking for Voldemort to try to make him reborn like he did thirteen years ago. ”

"His father's bones seem to have run out, right?" Zhang Xu recalled the incident of cooking Voldemort back then, "And this is also a good thing for you, when the time comes, your blood can be sold for a large amount of money, maybe the mortgage will be paid off in advance." ”

"If he was willing to shoot advertisements again, the mortgage would not be a problem for a long time." Ron said with a sad sigh.

"What's going on?" Zhang Xu asked Neville quietly, and Harry glared at Ron angrily, which made Zhang Xu feel that there was something else behind it.

Neville stuck his head next to Zhang Xu's ear and whispered, "Ten years ago, Harry turned into a girl to shoot commercials, mainly because Ron drunk him and cast a Imperius curse on him. ”

Zhang Xu was relieved after Neville said so much, no wonder Harley appeared in the advertisement, it seems that the mastermind behind this is still Ginny, and she should have given Ron a kickback, whether it was Hermione who did the Imperius Curse herself.

Class reunions many years after graduation often turn into a whistleblowing conference, and many aspects of the events hidden in the depths of history are peeled back layer by layer. For example, many years ago, the girls in a class of an engineering university quietly selected the top ten boys in the class who were suitable for boyfriends, and a certain durian ranked 12th.

And crooked buildings are also the norm at class reunions, and the topic goes from the Blake siblings' father to Hallie's advertisement, and then to other places.

"Neville, how long does it take to pay off the mortgage on your house?" Ron shifted the subject.

"I will be able to pay it off early next year." Neville was visibly relieved when he said this, "In the past two years, Hogwarts and GlaxoSmithKline have cooperated, and my share of the income is very considerable, so I paid off the mortgage first. Hannah plans to buy a new car and take a look next year when the mortgage is paid off. ”

"Ron, have you passed your driver's license test?" Zhang Xu suddenly remembered something, Ron's poor baby took the driver's license test and the phantom shifting test, and he always almost passed the test.

"Don't mention it!" Ron said frustratedly, "If I hadn't been able to bring a wand on the road, I would have passed the test a long time ago, didn't I just forget to adjust the rearview mirrors." ”

At this time, the three broomsticks bar was already full of guests who came for a drink on the weekend, and under the effect of magic, the table of the four of them was isolated from the outside.

The four of them have been drinking for three rounds and are constantly complaining about their recent lives.

Harry said that he had recently asked his eldest son what six plus six was, and James said thirteen.

Ron complained that Hermione had gone to Weasley's Magic Tricks one day and thought the waitresses' skirts were too short, so he bought 8,000 pound earrings on the way home.

Neville complains that Hannah's family complains that his car is so bad that he doesn't have much money in Gringotts after paying off the mortgage.

Zhang was suppressed by three other people after complaining that the banknotes were getting harder and harder to earn day by day.

At that moment, Harry's body rang out with the sound of "Di Di Di". He immediately took out an Auror's special communicator from his pocket, and after looking at it, his expression suddenly became serious.

"Something happened at Hogwarts." Harry said as he pulled out the hangover elixir.

Neville wasn't much drunk, and he immediately asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"Someone is trying to invade Hogwarts." Harry left as soon as he finished speaking.

That was the end of tonight's party, and the other three followed Harry out of the bar after hearing that it was Hogwarts.
