After leaving the secret passage, Zhang Xu returned to the dormitory of the Eagle Courtyard, which was full of Christmas gifts from his friends.

Zhang Xu is used to opening gifts at the end of the second year's holiday.

After packing all the gifts piled up next to the bed, Zhang Xu came to his professor's dormitory.

The prisoners of Azkaban all ran out, and Zhang Xu naturally couldn't hide the fact that he went to pit money at that time.

As long as you carefully check the transfer procedures of the Lestrange family's house, plus on the day Voldemort restored the factory settings, Zhang Xu also cheated half of the money in Gringotts of the Death Eaters present, and the Death Eaters will know who to settle accounts with when they have a cup of tea.

Now the veteran Death Eaters, except for Snape and Barty Jr., have almost all been paid by Zhang Xu.

And at this time, the Horcrux ring was in Zhang Xu's hand, and Voldemort must have known about it.

Now Zhang Xu's reputation over there is hatred and has not run away.

If Voldemort had asked the Death Eaters to trouble Dumbledore now, they might have thought about it. But if Voldemort wanted them to kill Zhang Xu, they would definitely have their own furious aura.

In order to prevent the Death Eaters from accidentally injuring the students in the Eagle Courtyard dormitory when they infiltrated Hogwarts again to find trouble for themselves, Zhang Xu moved back to the professor's dormitory.

In the living room of the professor's classroom bedroom, Zhang Xu took out all the Christmas gifts, and while opening the gifts, he thought about how to spend the next few days.

Open a hand-painted greeting card, sent by a little Lori from Oxfordshire, with an owl flying into the bedroom window carrying a large bag of candy.

Others also gave away a lot of goodies, such as watches to cast the Stun Charm, a red bow tie to cast the Stun Charm, and sneakers to cast the Great Strength Charm on the legs.

Just when Zhang Xu was unpacking gifts in the dormitory, the common rooms of the four colleges exploded again.

A new announcement has appeared on the bulletin board:

"Announcement: The Hogwarts High Inquisitor decrees that from now on, the activities of the following student organizations, associations, teams and clubs shall be reported to the Senior Inquisitor for review, and that approved activities may only be carried out after approval by the Senior Inquisitor.

The above regulations are in accordance with Education Order No. 25.

Signed: Senior Investigator Percy Ignatius Weasley

Appendix: Student Organizations, Associations, Teams, and Clubs Required to Submit Activity Content Review

Quidditch team ......"

"Percy is going to do this?"

In the common room of the Lion House, Harry said angrily.

"I think he's going to control the students' activities." Ron said, standing next to Harry.

"Maybe Percy is aiming for this." Hermione said as she pointed to the parchment.

Harry and Ron followed Hermione's finger and saw that Hermione was pointing to the Defense Guild that was interspersed in the list.

"Why is that?" Ron asked.

Hermione looked at the students gathered next to her to watch the announcement, and then pulled Ron and Harry to a table in the common room where no one was around.

"During the holidays, Tonks told me that Fudge thought Dumbledore had trained an army in Hogwarts." Hermione said to Harry and Ron, "Fudge thinks Dumbledore will be able to fight the Ministry of Magic once he has organized this secret force. ”

"I've never heard anything so stupid, not even Luna Lovegood's crazy words." Ron said, ".., by the way, it will also allow us to protect ourselves. ”

"But Fudge doesn't think so." Hermione said, "I remember Chang saying something called 'power out of the wand.'" ”

"You remember Zhang's words quite clearly." Ron said in a strange tone.

"I remember Zhang also praised you for your talent." Hermione said, slanting a glance at Ron.

"I've also heard Zhang say that the two of you will grow old together." Harry interjected suddenly.

Ron and Hermione ended the episode with their wands, and after Harry climbed back to the table and sat down, Hermione continued the conversation.

"Actually, Umbridge and Percy both had the same purpose, they both did what Fudge instructed." Hermione said, "Fudge was afraid that we would use spells against the Ministry of Magic, so Fudge instructed them not to let us learn Defence Against the Dark Arts. ”

"Because the most effective way to overthrow a government is to use force."

"But we have to protect ourselves." Harry said, "We've had a lot of dangers over the last few years. ”

"But Fudge doesn't see it that way." Hermione said, "He would only think that Dumbledore would do whatever it took to usurp power." ”

"And......" Hermione whispered to Harry and Ron after a moment's hesitation, "we do look a lot like an army. ”

"We're just getting together to protect ourselves." Harry said angrily, "We started out to deal with the basilisk, and Percy was involved in it, so he should know that we weren't an army that Professor Dumbledore had organized. ”

"I think ......," Ron said suddenly, "maybe someone organized us into an army when we weren't looking." ”

"Who is it?" Harry and Hermione looked at Ron and asked in unison.

"Zhang." Ron hesitated for a moment before saying.

"In fact, I suddenly found that Zhang has been training us through subtle methods all along." "In a lot of things, Chang has been guiding our ideas and getting us to where we are. ”

By "we" Ron doesn't mean the trio, but the group of students at Hogwarts.

"Why do you think that?" Harry asked angrily.

When Harry was blown away by the strong wind, it was Zhang Xu who rescued him.

When Madam Pomfrey found Zhang Xu covered in scars and called Dumbledore, Harry eavesdropped on their conversation from the hospital bed next to him. Although Harry didn't see the scars on Zhang Xu's body, he still knew that Zhang Xu's left earlobe was missing after that day. Although Zhang Xu let it pass lightly, Harry has always regarded Zhang Xu as a lifesaver in his heart. So when Ron suggests that Zhang Xu has organized the students into an army to seize power in the Ministry of Magic, Harry is angry.

"When I was at Hermione's house not long ago, I was playing games on the computer with you. Don't you feel familiar with the levels in those games? Ron asked Harry, "When we stopped Quirrell from taking the Philosopher's Stone, did the professors put in place similar to the level level?" There are also tactics formulated by Zhang for everyone, which are also very similar to the armies in some games. ”

"Maybe Zhang just played a lot of games when he was a child, so his method is so similar to the one in the game." Harry said.

In the case of the Philosopher's Stone, Harry was more suspicious than Ron. Harry had watched Dudley play video games as a child, and in retrospect, he realized that the professors' arrangements were more problematic than the other.

"We can go and ask him." Hermione said suddenly, "If he does this, there should be a reason for him." I don't think Zhang is a power-hungry person. ”

So the three people who were crooked in the conversation forgot that they just wanted to talk about Percy's announcement at the beginning, and left the common room to find Zhang Xu.
