Chapter 405: Lao Deng: You just go back and take the college entrance examination
It was late at night, and most of the professors and students in the kitchen left with enough food and drink.
Luna rubbed her little belly and said to Zhang Xu, "It's all your fault, my belly is starting to get bigger." β
(β¬ Μdish Μ)=?? (?γγ )?
Zhang Xu knocked over with a routine brain collapse and knocked Luna into a defensive state with her head hugged.

Then Zhang Qiu, who was sitting on the other side of Zhang Xu, used his fist to help Luna take revenge.
"I feel that I am fat, so I get up early every morning and go for a morning run by the lake." Zhang Xu said to Luna, "When I rushed to eat just now, I didn't see you slow down by half a minute." β
"No way, it's better than the ballfish." Luna said.
Zhang Xu was speechless, and then drove her back to bed early.
After asking Luna and Zhang Qiu to go back to the dormitory early to rest, Zhang Xu took the hawthorn tea handed over by Dobby, and said to Harry, who had not left yet, "If you have anything you want to say, just say it." β
Harry organized his words for a moment, then said, "Is what Bell said true about what he said today?" β
Zhang Xu took a sip of hawthorn tea, then sighed and said, "This is the matter that the old men in No. 10 Downing Street are in charge of, and you have cared about these things too early." β
"Who's Bell?" Ron asked suddenly.
Zhang Xu glanced at Harry suspiciously, and Harry said, "I didn't tell Ron and Hermione about that. β
Feelings, you are bringing the two of them to eat meat, Zhang Xu sighed in his heart.
"Bell Grylls, he's a soldier in the British Army, and we met them today in the Forbidden Forest." Zhang Xu explained to Ron, "We have worked together before. β
Zhang Xu then briefly told Ron some details about the multi-party cooperation to take down a Death Eater den last year.
Harry had heard about it from Lupin and Blake, but Ron and Hermione knew little about it.
Ron didn't react to this, but Hermione reacted immediately, and then looked at Zhang Xu with wide eyes, and she was the one who felt the most incredible about the existence of wizards in the British army.
As soon as Hermione wanted to ask about it, Harry asked, "Then what is the point that a manor was attacked and a wizard was captured?" β
Zhang Xu put the teacup in his hand on the table, and then said, "It's a long story." As you may recall, a bridge collapsed last summer, and a bus that fell into the river was full of students. β
Hermione was the first to nod, an incident that had a great impact in Muggle society, she had read about it in the newspapers at the time.
Zhang Xu continued: "There were several international students on the bus, and these countries together demanded that the British government severely punish the murderer. Later, the British government found the traces of several Death Eaters such as Rodolphus Lestrange on a nearby camera, so it was determined that they had done it. It was only later that the Death Eaters hid in Malfoy's house, which frustrated the British government and the Ministry of Magic's arrest. β
"Then Malfoy's house was burned." Ron said.
"Yes, because several countries where the victims are located decided to join forces and take matters into their own hands." Zhang Xu said.
Harry, they were too young to know what such an action would mean for the British government. Zhang Xu later learned that this blatant challenge to British sovereignty made the British government very annoyed and passive.
"How did they crack the protective magic of Malfoy Manor?" Harry asked, "It took a long time for the Order of the Phoenix to find there. β
"You know why Hogwarts can't use electronics." Zhang Xu said, "If you think about it backwards, you can find some simple and crude cracking methods such as high-power electromagnetic pulse devices." β
"Eletro......" Harry's trio said they didn't recognize the word.
And Zhang Xu also shrugged his shoulders, saying that this explanation is too troublesome, so he is too lazy to explain it to you.
"And then?" Harry asked, letting go of the awkward word.
"Then a few Death Eaters, including Rodolphus Lestrange, were captured, and then a wizard from Russia set fire to Malfoy's house." Zhang Xu said, "Later, as a result, after some negotiations, after the British government agreed to some small conditions from the governments of several other countries, the Death Eaters were handed over to the relevant British departments for disposal." β
"What are the conditions?" Harry asked curiously.
"No comment." Zhang Xu replied.
Although Zhang Xu has read the briefings of the relevant domestic departments on this matter, these things still cannot be said. The only condition put forward in China is that the British intelligence services will no longer support certain people in the future, otherwise there is no guarantee that some people will support wizarding groups such as the Death Eaters without authorization.
"Then the British atomic bomb is also guarded by military wizards, right?" Hermione asked suddenly.
"It's inevitable." "If it weren't for it, Britain's nuclear weapons during the Cold War would have been controlled by Soviet wizards." β
"That's good." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, "I also wanted to remind Professor Dumbledore of this. β
"Then why would Professor Slughorn call them betrayers?" Harry asked.
"It's the same as the Weasleys are called 'pure-blood traitors.'" Zhang Xu replied.
Harry's trio understood in seconds.
Next, Harry and the others asked some questions about the wizards in the government, and Zhang Xu told them the history of this group of wizards in general.
Soon after, the Harry trio left. For them, tonight is a night of great harvest, both material and spiritual, and this news is enough for them to digest for a while.
After Harry and the others left the kitchen, it seemed that Zhang Xu was the only one left here.
Zhang Xu walked to the place where the professors were just now, and when he approached, Dumbledore's figure appeared in the originally vacant position.
After finding a seat next to him and sitting down, Zhang Xu asked Lao Deng, "Is this really good, Professor?" β
"A large number of huge footprints were found on the beach near Dover." Dumbledore ignored Zhang Xu's question and said, "More and more giants have come to Britain, and in addition to giants, there are werewolves from other parts of Europe, and the werewolf army has been reorganized." Voldemort is gathering strength, and we need to find more allies. It would be good to get some allies to get to know Harry. β
"Now the Ministries of Magic in other countries on the continent are happily driving their own dangerous elements to the British side." Zhang Xu said, "Whether it is a dark wizard or a werewolf, as long as they come to the UK, they will secretly open the door to convenience. β
"There was even a hint that the one in Neumongaard had come to England to meet an old friend."
"Voldemort was a very cautious man." Dumbledore said, "He's not going to start moving until something is done." β
"Speaking of that old friend, he said he wanted to see you." Dumbledore finally said.
"Gellert Grindelwald wants to see me?" Zhang Xu was frightened, "Why does he want to see me?" β
Zhang Xu, who almost fell off the chair, sat down again, and then changed to a position that was not easy to fall.
"He just wants to have a chat with you." Dumbledore said, "He's always wanted to see you. β
Zhang Xu tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about why the Dark Lord wanted to talk to him. After thinking for a while, he replied, "Well, when?" β
"Let's take the Easter holidays." Dumbledore said, "I'll give you a vacation until the end of the semester after the holidays, so that you can go back to your country to take the college entrance examination." β
Zhang Xu was speechless, this reason is very powerful and tempting.
"Why?" Zhang Xu asked, looking into Dumbledore's eyes.
"You're the insurance last resort, and I don't want to put you in extreme and uncontrollable danger." Dumbledore said, his eyes looking at Zhang Xu were full of determination.
"I'll go and grab Malfoy and tie him to the bottom of the lake later, or dig a pit in the Forbidden Forest and bury it, so the danger can be controlled." Zhang Xu said.
The corners of Dumbledore's mouth twitched a little, because if he didn't stop it, Zhang Xu's action was likely to be successful. It was a matter of minutes to fool Dobby into harry's safety and tie Malfoy out.
"Malfoy's action is a must." Dumbledore said, "That's the only way to reassure Voldemort." β
"Then you're not afraid that I'll never return?" Zhang Xu finally asked curiously, "You know that I have a strong desire to survive, and I will run away if something is wrong." β
"Then I can only choose to believe you." Dumbledore replied, "After all, you are the biggest uncontrollable factor in my plans. β
"I'll think about it." Zhang Xu sighed and said, "If things change, I will act from my heart." β
