Chapter 360: Sister Petyer's Troubles
Harry, Hermione, and Ginny, who were about to speak, were startled by the shout at the same time, and they turned to look at Ron, who had just tried to use the spell on the desks and chairs in the classroom.
In the sound of "bang-la-la", the tables and chairs that seemed to have been split in half by an invisible sword fell to the ground one after another.
"Ron!" Hermione's angry roar instantly resounded through the classroom.
"I just think this spell sounds familiar," Ron said as he thought hard, "I don't think I've seen anyone use a spell like this somewhere." โ
Ron then used the Blade to whip the seats scattered on the ground.
"Alas~"
Ginny's long sigh caught Harry's attention.
"I remember, I know where I've seen this magic." Ginny said to the other three.
"Where?" Hermione asked hurriedly.
"Our kitchen." Ginny replied calmly.
(โ_โ) (โโโณโ) (๏ฟฃะด๏ฟฃ; )
The Harry trio couldn't figure out the meaning of what Ginny said for a moment, and looked at Ginny in confusion.
Ginny glanced at them a few times and said, "It's Zhang." โ
"You never go to the kitchen to help, so it's rare to see him use this spell."
"Remember when Zhang lived in our house for a while? At that time, he often went to the kitchen to help his mother. โ
"I've seen him in the kitchen several times using such spells to peel potatoes and chop onions."
The Harry trio continued to be stunned for a while before coming to their senses.
"No wonder I've seen this spell somewhere by feeling," said Ron with a sudden realization, "I remember seeing him helping with wood in the garden. โ
"So Zhang got the book a long time ago." Harry said.
"I think so." Hermione suddenly remembered something and said, "I remember mentioning it once in the library a long time ago, and he recently read all the textbooks for seven years. โ
"It's no wonder that he can make a living hell potion perfectly today." Ron sighed.
"And he's also made improvements to the Living Hell Potion." Hermione said with some depression.
Today, Hermione made potions according to the book, but the result was not successful, and Zhang Xu, who was a rival in her studies, threw her off a lot.
At this time, Ginny suddenly said: "You say, could the notes here be written by Zhang?" โ
Harry and the others were stunned for a moment, then flipped through the old textbook again and studied the notes on it.
"The second person to make a note in the book is very likely to be him." Harry looked at the old textbook and said, "Even if it's not him, then he should have something to do with this book." โ
Thinking of this, Harry picked up his old textbook and closed it, and then said to his friends, "Why don't we go and ask Zhang ...... Huh......"
At this time, Harry noticed two lines written on the bottom of the back cover:
"This book belongs to the half-blood prince"
"(ใฃยฐโฝยฐ)ใฃ ๐ต hand tea to the big guy!"
Harry, who was speechless, was even more convinced that this book had something to do with Zhang Xu at this moment.
"Then let's go and ask Zhang now." Ron said positively.
"I guess we'll go back tomorrow." Hermione said.
"Why?" Harry, they asked curiously.
"Because when I left the auditorium after dinner, I heard Parvati and her sister discussing that the two of them were going to Zhang's dormitory together tonight to find something to do with Zhang." Hermione said with a shrug.
The desire to survive overrode the gossip, and Harry had no intention of exploring the gossip news.
Harry took out the map and put it on the table, saying, "Then let's see if Zhang is free now." โ
Harry activated the Spot Map and began a peeping operation.
"Hey, why is she in Zhang's dormitory?" Ron said in surprise as he looked at the names of several people in Zhang Xu's room on the map of the living spot.
โญโค~Dividing line โค~โฎ
The clock was back at eight o'clock in the evening.
Two sisters, Parvati and Padma Petyer, arrived at Zhang Xu's dormitory on time.
The two looked at each other for a moment, plucked up their courage and knocked on the door of the dormitory.
"Please come in."
Padma had just knocked on the door three times, and from behind the door came the voice of Zhang Xu letting them in.
The Pettier sisters pushed open the door and walked into the living room of Zhang Xu's dormitory.
"Good evening, ...... Zhang" Padma had just said hello to Zhang Xu when her voice stopped. She didn't expect there to be another person in the living room.
As soon as Parvati entered, he saw another person sitting in the living room, and hurriedly greeted, "Good evening, Professor McGonagall." โ
Last night, when Zhang Xu saw that Padma had something to say to him, but he wanted to say something and stopped, he kept an eye on it. When the Potions class ended this afternoon, the two Petyr sisters found him, and he felt that they must have something important to discuss or help him with.
Coupled with the rumors among the students that their family wanted to take them out of Hogwarts, Zhang Xu thought that there was a high chance that they would find him at this time.
Therefore, Zhang Xu called Professor McGonagall after dinner, and if Professor McGonagall took over some things, it would be more reassuring for the Petyr sisters.
On the sofa in the living room, the Petyr sisters sat down to find a pot of Assam black tea and several snacks from India on the coffee table in front of them.
Zhang Xu waved the wand in his hand, and the teapot turned into a fountain of black tea, and a column of Assam black tea water spewed out of the spout, split into two strands in the air, and then plunged into the teacup in front of the two sisters.
"Do you have anything to do with me?" Zhang Xu asked straight to the point.
The two sisters looked at each other, and then the elder sister Parvati took the teacup and said, "We do have something we would like to ask you to come up with." โ
"I'm sure you've heard about our family wanting us to drop us out of Hogwarts and bring us back to India." Parvati said as she fiddled with the half-drunk teacup in her hand restlessly.
"I heard it's because your family thinks Hogwarts isn't safe anymore?" Zhang Xu asked suspiciously.
"If that's the reason, I can write to your home and tell them that Hogwarts is completely safe." Professor McGonagall said to the two sisters.
Although Professor McGonagall was able to put a note on Hogwarts' safety, the two Pettier sisters shook their heads at the same time.
Parvati put the teacup back on the table and said, "Thank you very much, Professor McGonagall. โ
Padma went on to say: "Security is just an excuse, the reality is ......"
Padma hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Actually, the family wants us to go back and marry other families, but we don't want to live like that."
Padma's words surprised Zhang Xu and Professor McGonagall, and the script was a bit over-the-top for both of them.
Zhang Xu's heart is already calm, what kind of ghost is developing at this time? Divorce stream?
However, in this day and age, opposition to arranged marriages is a must. Orthodox feminism is about women holding up half the sky, supporting freedom of love and opposing arranged marriages. Instead of being like those pastoral feminists, women are portrayed as waste dim sum who only know how to get something for nothing and blindly worship money.
Then Professor McGonagall, an orthodox feminist, spoke, and she said to the sisters: "If you don't like the marriage that your family has given you, I can find a way to prevent your family from bringing you back to India." โ
"If your family is not allowed to leave Hogwarts for the sake of safety, I can contact Lady Maxime with Mr. Zhang and ask you to attend Beauxbatons."
After speaking, Professor McGonagall turned her head to look at Zhang Xu, who was drinking tea.
Zhang Xu thought for a moment and said: "If this matter is still entangled with you after you graduate, I can let you come to our country, whether it is to study or find a job, I can provide you with a chance." I don't think your family can tie you back to our country's turf. โ
After receiving the assurances of Professor McGonagall and Zhang Xu, the two Pettier sisters breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, they were soft-spoken at home, and they did not resist the family arrangement at all.
Now, as long as Professor McGonagall and Zhang Xu help stall for time, the Patil sisters can find a way to drag this matter over on their own.
Parvati said gratefully, "Thank you, Professor McGonagall, Zhang. โ
After reassuring the two sisters, Professor McGonagall got up and left, going back to write to Sister Petyr's house to put the matter down.
After Professor McGonagall left, Padma said to Zhang, "Thank you so much, Zhang. We also planned to simply be your girlfriends together to put off the marriage arranged at home. โ
Zhang Xu: ......
