With the "da...... Da ...... The sound sounded, and the iron crutches on crutches walked into the screaming shack.

As soon as he arrived in the room, all the people attending the party looked at him and laughed, and some exclaimed, "Professor Zhang, you have a new scar on your leg!" ”

Tie Guan Zhang did not answer, but said to everyone in the house, "Everyone is here." With that, he walked to an empty spot.

However, some of them did not intend to let Tie Zhang go, and deliberately shouted: "You must have stolen someone else's little girl again!" ”

Tie Guan opened his eyes wide and said, "Why are you so innocent out of thin air......

"What innocence? I heard Peeves say the day before yesterday that you stole the Pettier twins, and were beaten by Miss Delacour from the ceiling. ”

Tie Zhang's face turned red, the green tendons on his forehead bloomed, and he shouted loudly: "Avada asks for his life!" ”

The inside and outside of the screaming shack were filled with cheerful air.

After everyone made fun of Zhang Xu, they began to care about his injuries.

Because he knew that he was being targeted by Voldemort, and he was concerned about the ownership of the Elder Wand, Zhang Xu did not deliberately publicize his injury.

If Zhang Xu deliberately claimed that he had been defeated, then Voldemort would most likely think that he already knew the properties of the Elder Wand, so he used fake news to divert his attention. If you don't get it right, it will be self-defeating, and Voldemort will still chase him the next time he has the chance.

Later, Zhang Xu simply asked Professor McGonagall to conceal his injuries, and at the same time asked the Death Eaters to arrange for undercover agents in Hogwarts to pass on the information that he was seriously injured, so that Voldemort believed that he was really accidentally injured in front of St. Mungo's door.

Presumably, now Voldemort already knows the news that Zhang Xu was defeated by the Death Eaters who broke through at that time, which means that Voldemort will think that the owner of the Elder Wand is among those Death Eaters.

No matter how Voldemort could find the Death Eaters who had defeated Zhang Xu after his changed appearance in the midst of the chaos, most of his energy would be consumed in this matter.

That way, everyone can stop for a while.

It was at this time that Cedric Diggory, who had noticed the Death Eaters temporarily silent in his daily work, began to distribute invitations and organize today's party at the Screaming Shack.

Zhang Xu, who received the invitation letter two days ago, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly after reading it.

This person, once he has ambition, becomes like another person.

As Cedric gained a foothold in the Ministry of Magic and was appreciated by Scrimgeur, he began to plan his future life in earnest.

Among the young people of similar age in the Ministry of Magic, Percy Weasley and Cedric Diggory have been the most active in the past two years.

Percy's brilliance lies in the fact that he has been on the cusp of the past few years, and he has been able to get out of it all in his body.

In his first year on the job, his boss was kidnapped by Voldemort and was rescued by Dumbledore.

The following year, his boss and Dumbledore tore their faces, and he was sent to Hogwarts to work as a nail in Umbridge's disrepute. As a result, his boss fell, but not only was he not implicated, but he also walked away, and his position as High Inquisitor at Hogwarts has been retained to this day.

In the third year, he gained the trust of his new boss and parachuted directly into the Auror office as the director, and in his one-year tenure, he actually handed in a very good answer.

In the fourth year, he simply went abroad to become a squad leader of the International Auror Task Force, and is currently mainly responsible for leading the anti-terrorism team in the United Kingdom.

While most of his peers in the Ministry of Magic were still struggling for seniority at the grassroots level, he had amassed an extremely beautiful resume.

Among the young people who could compete with him during the same period, only Cedric, who was also the assistant minister of magic, was him.

Although Cedric has not made any earth-shattering achievements in this position in the past two years, he has an advantage that Percy will not be able to catch up with in his life - he is handsome!

As an assistant to the Minister, Cedric often had to represent the Minister between the various departments of the Ministry of Magic, as well as contact with various aspects of the Wizarding Society. He relied on his sunny and handsome face and elegant and generous demeanor, and everyone he talked to felt like a spring breeze. In the past two years, he has gradually accumulated a high level of popularity, especially among middle-aged women. And in the near future, he is also expected to break Lockhart's record for the number of consecutive "Most Charming Smile Awards" held by Wizarding Weekly.

Sometimes Zhang will complain in his heart whether the protagonist in the British wizarding world is Harry Potter or these two guys.

Not long ago, after Scrimgeour hinted at his intention to let Cedric leave his side and go on his own, Cedric's mind began to come alive.

As an aspiring young man, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to climb up. But one of his shortcomings is that he has not worked in a pragmatic position, and it is difficult for him to come up with enough merit as a bargaining chip.

After much deliberation, Cedric decided to use the "Community Defense System" that had been rolled out in the summer as a ladder for his own climb.

As a result, there was this "community joint defense and use exchange meeting" held today in the screaming shack.

As long as this system, which had already begun to play a huge role, was perfected and strengthened, and played an increasingly important role in the years to come, Cedric, as the only one of the founders in a prominent position in the Ministry of Magic, could easily reap the vast majority of the benefits in terms of political performance.

Zhang Xu, who was called to help Cedric prop up the façade, would look at Cedric, who was having an in-depth exchange with his old classmates who had graduated, and then look at Percy, who was sitting on the other side and had already seen through Cedric's plan to disguise himself as a telephone pole, and he found that in a few years, the Ministry of Magic would be lively.

Especially if Hermione enters the Ministry of Magic with the identity and aura of one of the members of the "Savior Harry Trio" who fought on the front lines of the fight against Voldemort in the future, Hermione has never hidden her ambition to Zhang in private, then the picture of the three competing for supremacy in the Ministry of Magic is exciting to think about.

However, at this time, Zhang Xu's heart felt a little strange, if Cedric just wanted to talk to users about the product experience, there was no need to put such a big position in the screaming shack.

Unless Cedric has other moves next, Zhang Xu thought.
