It was not the first time that the students had met Dumbledore in the kitchen, at first the students were very nervous, but then everyone saw that Dumbledore did not punish them, but just told them to go back to rest early, so everyone had nothing to worry about, and it was good to go back to the dormitory on time when it was time.

An approachable principal who solves homework problems for students in the classroom every Friday night has undoubtedly a high prestige in the minds of students.

So when Dumbledore said it was time for everyone to go back to bed, the students obediently went back.

"Ron Weasley, and Mr. Zhang, please stay for a while." Dumbledore said to Zhang Xu and Ron.

Dumbledore and Ron sat down at a table, while Zhang Xu went to prepare something to drink.

Zhang Xu poured milk into a pot, then added cocoa powder, cinnamon powder and white sugar, and then put it on low heat and stirred slowly. Once the milk is boiling, add some rum to it and stir well.

After pouring a glass of rum hot cocoa into the large cup that Dumbledore had brought, Zhang Xu poured himself and Ron a glass as well.

"On a cold night, a glass of hot rum cocoa before going to bed is great for sleep." Dumbledore said after taking a small half drink in one gulp.

"Ron, do you have any thoughts on tonight's events?" Dumbledore asked Ron.

Ron wasn't prepared for what happened tonight. Although he also longed to be a warrior and participate in the Triwizard Tournament, he already knew that it was just a pipe dream, just like some people shouting about their wives through their computer screens all day long.

What happened tonight is like those two-dimensional wives who look at it from the front (☆^o^☆) and look at it from the side with "丨", suddenly jumping out of the screen.

For Ron, it wasn't clear if happiness came too suddenly, or if scare came too suddenly.

Ron had been a little dizzy tonight, and when people came to ask him how he made it, he would just shake his head and say "No, I'm not, I didn't".

Now Ron is starting to calm down, especially the words of Zhang Xu, Harry, and Hermione just now, which makes him feel that there must be something strange about this matter.

"I'm not going to disgrace Hogwarts." Ron replied with a bit of nonchalance, now that he realized that there was no turning back, he had to get out.

Ron is already a bit crazy, as can be seen from the last time Black attacked him at night in the dorm room, he turned on braggadocio mode.

Ron has always craved attention, and it has to do with his status in the family. It's just that his mentality is not very mature when he is under the limelight, he is the king when he is full of confidence, and he is the king when he is vain.

So what Zhang Xu and Dumbledore have to do now is to build up his self-confidence, and not to embarrass the school by playing at that time.

"Don't think about the conspiracy or anything." Zhang Xu said to Ron, "You can concentrate on being a warrior and enjoy the Triwizard Tournament, and Professor Dumbledore will handle the rest." ”

Next, Zhang Xu and Dumbledore teamed up to pour dozens of catties of chicken soup for the soul on Ron, and Ron's mentality adjusted.

"Now everyone looks at me strangely, and they keep asking me how I signed up." Ron concluded.

"At this point, just smile." Zhang Xu said to Ron, "No matter what others ask, you don't want to affirm or deny, you just need to smile at them." ”

Soon after, Ron was driven back to the dormitory by Dumbledore to rest, and only Zhang Xu and Lao Deng were left in the kitchen.

"Do you have any clue?" Dumbledore asked again.

"No," Zhang Xu replied, "if it's Harry, then it's possible that Voldemort or a Death Eater killed someone with a knife." But if it was Ron, who would have a grudge against him, or the Weasleys? ”

"That's what I thought too." Dumbledore said, "I have a guess if it could be that Voldemort or the Death Eaters thought it was too obvious to attack Harry and would cause us to be wary, so they planned to open a breakthrough from Ron. ”

"Quite possibly." Zhang Xu said, "If you take Ron hostage and force Harry to listen to them obediently, I think with Harry's character, the chance of success in doing so is almost 100%. ”

Dumbledore nodded. Old Deng believed that if he and Ron had fallen into the water together, Harry would have saved Ron first.

"Any news from Voldemort and the Death Eaters?" Zhang Xu asked.

Now the situation is messed up, and the "plot" can't be used as a reference. Although he had originally planned for Hermione to take the place of Harry in the "plot" in the Triwizard Tournament, he also made a plan based on this. But with Ron's strong intrusion and the possible involvement of a mysterious third party, his original plan had to be ruined.

It was about Harry's safety, and Zhang Xu had to be serious, otherwise he would be sorry that Snape had taught him that the Shenfeng kitchen set was gone.

"Voldemort has returned to England," Dumbledore said, "but I have not been able to find out where he is hiding or who is around." ”

"Then I'll have to continue to use Harry as bait." Zhang Xu said, "With Voldemort's character, he will definitely not let others kill Harry, he will only do it himself." Until Voldemort recovers, it won't be a problem to keep Harry out of our sight. ”

Zhang Xu thought about whether the matter of Barty Jr. pretending to be Moody would break out now, but after thinking about it, if there was a third party who was confused, he could let him go in front, so he decided to let him go first.

"Do you have any idea about the magic that could restore Voldemort's body, Professor?" Zhang Xu asked again.

"No," Dumbledore replied, "there are many kinds of dark arts, and many of them are so deeply hidden, that I can't know them all. ”

"Why don't you ask an expert in this area," Zhang Xu said, "I think that according to Voldemort's character, there is a good chance that he will be able to deduce which method he will choose, so that there will be clues." ”

"Ask whom?" Dumbledore asked.

"Gellert Grindelwald." After Zhang Xu said the name, he found that Dumbledore's hand holding the cup trembled.

"Voldemort's Horcruxes have a clue," Dumbledore decisively changed the subject, "The Slytherin locket and the Hufflepuff Gold Cup are most likely made into Horcruxes by Voldemort." But they are all missing. ”

Zhang Xu said that he would pay attention to this information.

After a few more conversations, they both left the kitchen and went back.

After returning to his bedroom, Zhang Xu found a person sitting on the balcony.

In addition to Zhang Xu himself, there are only three people who know the password of Professor Zhang Xu's dormitory: Fleur, Gabrielle and Scarlett.

"Eldest sister, why did you come here?" Zhang Xu sat on another rocking chair on the balcony, picked up the red wine on the coffee table and poured himself a glass.

e=(′o'*)))) "Alas, when I used to accompany me to watch the moon, I was called Xiao Tiantian, but now the new person is better than the old person, and I am called the eldest sister!" ”

(-_-) "I also watched "Journey to the West" during the summer vacation. What's the matter tonight? ”

(* ̄3 ̄) "Why, I'm afraid your girlfriend will come and catch you in bed." ”

? (; →＿→)??“ Isn't that what I should have said while I was in bed? ”

( ̄ ̄) "Let's go, then let's go to bed and say." ”

(； ̄д ̄) "I'm afraid of you." ”

('^′) "Cut, I want to sleep with my mother, you kid is still tender." ”

"Yes, yes, let's wait until I'm not tender." ”

"I won't mess with you." Scarlett changed his serious face and said, "You need to be careful lately. ”

"What, someone is going to do something to me?" Zhang Xu also put away the expression of the hippie smile.

"That's right." Scarley nodded and said, "I was asked for help, and I refused. ”

"Who is it?" Zhang Xu asked.

"If you touch someone else's cake, someone else will definitely do it to you." Scarlett said.

"You did Ron's business?" Zhang Xu asked in surprise.

"I returned a favor from our family." "Besides, since you and the Death Eaters are ghosts, why can't I go along?" ”

"Uh...... You know it all. Zhang Xu said embarrassedly.

"I've known Moody since I was a child, and I can still see some of his habits that others don't know." Scarlet said, "Deal with the Death Eater yourself, I'll leave it alone." If you haven't dealt with it before the end of the semester, I'll do it myself. ”

"Who's going to do it?" Zhang Xu asked.

"Those who sell brooms, they are all united." "Don't underestimate them, just look at the fact that Indian flying carpets haven't been sold to Britain for so many years, and you can see how much energy they have." ”

"Hehe, they don't know anything about power." Zhang Xu said with a smile.

"Be careful yourself." "They tried to use the beauty trick at first, but you didn't take the cursed love letter. ”

"The Malfoys are also involved?" Zhang Xu was surprised.

"Their family is so smart, how can they muddy the waters." Scarlet said disdainfully, "It's just that Malfoy's kid is too stupid." ”

"That's it, Voldemort doesn't have the ability to deal with the Weasleys. And in school, no one could do anything to his students right under Dumbledore's nose. Zhang Xu said, "It's not so easy for them to move me." As long as you don't help them, I'll be safe. ”

"Let me deal with you, they can't afford that price." Scarlett said.

"Uh...... Can I start by asking, how much can I sell for? Zhang Xu asked.

"Priceless, satisfied?" Scarlett glanced at Zhang Xu.

"Oh, you can sell it without a price, it's heart-stopping." Zhang Xu said.

Scarlet ignored him, got up from his rocking chair, and said, "Alright, I'm going back." I won't come to you in the future, so you can rest assured that you and your girlfriend will love each other. ”

After saying that, Scarlet left without looking back.
