Zhang Xu rushed back to England overnight with two freshly framed ink treasures, and when he returned to Hogwarts, it was already noon on the first day of classes after the Easter break.

Fortunately, Zhang Xu hurried to prepare for class on the plane, so he could rest in the teacher's lounge after a light lunch in the Hogwarts kitchen.

"This professor, I see that your Yin Hall is shiny and red, so there must be something happy happening." Zhang Xu said.

As a result, Snape didn't want to talk to Zhang Xu, and threw a magic blade at Zhang Xu.

"Zhang, where have you been on leave these days?" Professor Flitwick asked, and Dumbledore only told the other professors that Zhang Xu was going to take a leave of absence for a while, but did not say where he was going.

"It's a bit urgent to go back to China." Zhang Xu said.

"It's a pity you're not here, otherwise we at Ravenclaw College would have won a few more medals in the air competition." Professor Flitwick said with a tone of regret.

"No way, there is an emergency this time, I'll get a few more medals next year." Zhang Xu also felt that it was a pity.

This year, taking advantage of the suspension of the Quidditch competition at the Academy, the Flying Club has been hosting 24 hours of broomstick, drag racing, and obstacle races since November last year.

As a result, Zhang Xu missed the 24-hour endurance race and obstacle course held during the Easter holiday.

After chatting with Professor Flitwick, Zhang Xu looked at the school's class schedule hanging in the faculty lounge, and found that his first period of the afternoon was Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and the class schedule said that the substitute professor was Snape.

"Professor Snape, what are you going to do in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon?" Zhang Xu turned his head and asked Snape.

As a result, Snape still didn't want to talk to Zhang Xu, and threw a cold smile at Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu saw Snape's expression and realized that Snape seemed to be about to make trouble.

Sure enough, Professor Snape, who was substitute again, played again in today's Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

During class, Snape took Zhang Xu and them to the edge of the chestnut forest on the other side of the Forbidden Forest.

"Before that, you've learned a lot about dealing with dark magic and dark wizards in class, and I think it's time for you to experience the battle between wizards for yourself."

As soon as Snape finished speaking, the students excitedly exchanged their heads and ears.

Then Snape opened a suitcase he had brought, and inside was a fist-sized crystal ball, and Snape said, "The man whose name I read comes and gets a crystal ball and walks into this chestnut grove, and in ten minutes, half of the crystal ball will be white and the other half black." Your task in this lesson is to subdue the opponent with a spell and take away the crystal ball that is not the same color as yours. At the end of this lesson, only those who walk out of the chestnut grove with two crystal balls of different colors will not have to write their homework, otherwise today's homework will be to write a six-foot parchment paper. Remember, it is forbidden to use evil spells. ”

After Snape finished explaining the contents of today's lesson, the students who were more powerful were elated, and the students who thought they were less powerful were terrified.

Zhang Xu looked at Snape in surprise, I can't imagine that you, a cold-eyed person, are so good at playing?

When the other students all walked into the chestnut forest with crystal balls, Zhang Xu played with the crystal balls that began to turn white next to Snape, without the slightest intention of walking into the chestnut forest.

Looking at Snape's puzzled eyes, Zhang Xu said, "Professor Snape, I don't have the privilege of not having to do my homework, so it doesn't make sense for me to grab another crystal ball." ”

Snape:......

In the end, Zhang Xu, who was driven into the chestnut forest by Snape, sold the crystal ball in his hand for 5 Galleons.

After taking the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Zhang Xu came to the Muggle Studies classroom early.

As soon as Zhang Xu opened the door, someone flew over from behind and knocked him into the classroom.

Through the familiar touch behind him, Zhang Xu knew that this was the hibiscus that he hadn't seen for many days.

"When did you come back?" Furong, who hugged Zhang Xu's neck from behind and hung herself on Zhang Xu's body, asked.

"I came back after lunch, and I just took a break and went to class." Zhang Xu reached out and pinched Furong's outstretched face.

"You're not going to go any further, are you?" Fleur asked.

"The rest of the semester is definitely not going to be gone." Zhang Xu replied.

At this time, the students who were preparing for class began to enter the classroom one after another, and the two chatted a few more words, and then Furong returned to her seat to do it, and Zhang Xu began to prepare for today's lecture on the podium.

The content of this class is "The Decisive Role of Practice in Understanding", and the professor spoke brilliantly in the class, and the students listened in confusion.

After class, Zhang Xu, who was packing up his things and preparing to finish dinner with Furong, suddenly found that he seemed to have forgotten something very important during this time.

After Zhang Xu served Gabrielle a piece of spaghetti at the table, he suddenly remembered that Barty Crouch Jr. was still tied by several gold ropes of his own.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xu's cold sweat kept coming out, and little Barty Crouch, who had been tied up for so many days, couldn't go to the toilet...... Can his gold rope be used in the future......

After eating in a hurry, Zhang Xu hurriedly ran to Dumbledore's office and asked about Barty Crouch Jr.'s current situation.

Dumbledore was also speechless, he was also having a headache about this matter, he just wanted to call Zhang Xu to come over and untie the rope on Little Barty Zhang Xu came, according to the house-elf who has been taking care of Little Barty, now Little Barty has fallen into a stiff neck.

I have to say that Dumbledore is a genius at language, he has learned the language of mermaids by rote to learn the Parseltongue without any pressure, and he can go to the Chamber of Secrets by himself without having to take Harry with him.

In the secret room, Dumbledore handed Zhang Xu the gold rope that he had cleaned up himself.

Although Dumbledore repeatedly assured that the ropes he had cleaned up with "clean up" were as clean as they had just left the factory, Zhang Xu refused to take them back.

After formatting the key, Zhang Xu quadrupled the price, and then asked Dumbledore if he would be interested in buying all these gold ropes.

As a result, after some bargaining, Dumbledore cut Zhang Xu's offer in half and bought the gold ropes.

On the way out of the secret room, Zhang Xu heard Dumbledore say that the Minister of Magic, Fudge, still did not accept the fact that Voldemort had returned, and he threw the blame for the kidnapping of Barty Crouch and the death of Bertha Joggins onto the arrested Caro siblings.

One of the victims, Barty Crouch, remained silent, saying that he didn't know anything on the grounds that he was under the Imperius Curse.

So Barty Crouch Jr. is now an important card in Dumbledore's hand, and he won't play it unless he has to.

Zhang Xu can only shrug his shoulders about this, behind this is Fudge who has a brain of "Dumbledore wants to harm me", he is afraid that Lao Deng will rebel and seize power, although Zhang Xu has hinted at Fudge before, Dumbledore is afraid that he will die soon when he is old, so there is no need to be so wary of Dumbledore, but Fudge still didn't believe Zhang Xu's words in the end.

You can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, unless you pour a basin of boiling water or boiling oil on him. Only Voldemort himself appeared in public, otherwise Fudge would just continue to cover the lid.
