Chapter 138: The Calm Before the Storm

Umbridge watched as the massive Rolls-Royce convoy faded away.

She let out a low laugh, and soon, the laughter grew louder and louder, and finally became a flamboyant and maniacal laugh.

The butler next to him stood there without squinting, as if it were just a statue.

Umbridge turned and walked towards the huge manor, which she was now the owner of.

She seemed to see the near future, the Dark Lord would reign in the world, and she was one of the most powerful people in the world after the Dark Lord!

The black bulletproof Rolls-Royce drove smoothly on the asphalt without a single bump.

Morgan looked at his watch and pulled out a bottle of Coke from the car, no one could have imagined that the head of the Morgan family was a loyal Coke lover.

The cola produced especially for him has a rich taste, and when he opened the ring of the can, he poured a big sip of it.

Said with interest:

"What do you think?"

Rockefeller closed his eyes and leaned back in the soft leather seat, and said lightly:

"It's stupider than I thought, if all the legendary wizards are such people, then. What a delightful piece of good news. ”

"But there's no denying that her proposal is tempting, and it's going to last so long that the Holy See can't even hold it up, and the wizarding world isn't all such idiots, right?

Even this woman, who calls herself Umbridge, seems to me to be just too immature."

Morgan was sipping Coke comfortably, as if he wasn't himself at the manor.

"So we absolutely can't cooperate with wizards, once they integrate into our society, it will be a huge disaster for us.

A collaborator who can't be restrained is not a good collaborator! ”

Rockefeller took out his goblet in agreement, lightly touched his Coke bottle, and said meaningfully:

"Holding shares with each other and exchanging interests is the right way to cooperate."

"For a better tomorrow."

"Cheers."

Soon, all this time lurking in the shadows, the real bigwigs who could influence the situation in the United States gathered.

They were 'moved' by Umbridge's vision, and under the playful gaze of those men, the resolution that would affect the whole world was finally passed.

Life inside the school is full and peaceful.

The days flew by, and it seemed that it was only a blink of an eye, and the time came to May.

The weather is getting milder, and after a few cold months, everyone can't wait to get outside and stroll along the Black Lake with a cool breeze.

Or sit on the lush grass and play, chat, play crackling and exploding cards and the like.

But the approach of May means that exams are not far away.

At this time, they especially envy those warriors, because warriors don't have to take exams!

And by default, all the exams of this school year are excellent, and if you successfully enter the top three of the Super Fire Cup, you will also win the school's special contribution award!

O Merlin! This is a special contribution award!

Counting the entire history of Hogwarts, there are not many people who have received special contribution awards.

In the past two months, Zhang Xiao would go to Sprout's classroom to chat with the ginseng dolls, and listen to them complain about how bad the foreign devils next door were.

Professor Sprout now leaves them alone in one place every night, and sure enough, the ginseng doll feels much cleaner.

It is worth mentioning that in order to understand the words of the beloved ginseng doll, Hogwarts has another professor who studies Chinese hard.

In the end, Zhang Xiao was even a little afraid to see the chubby professor, because every time she saw Professor Sprout, she would ask a lot of strange questions.

However, although there is no need to take the exam, the class still has to be taken.

Zhang Xiao propped her chin and watched as Moody knocked down the three little wizards on the opposite side with a wonderful knockback spell that knocked the oak chair like a bowling ball.

Seeing a stun spell coming towards his face, Zhang Xiao stretched out his hand, a faint golden light appeared above his middle finger, and he flicked his fingers and flicked the stun spell into the sky.

Moody's magic eye noticed this scene and nodded slightly at Zhang Xiao.

Then he shouted in a loud voice:

"What are you doing? Don't be like a, do you need me to help you up, and then ask you in a slow voice if you have fallen and hurt?

By the way, I will stuff a pacifier into your mouth and sing to you that baby does not cry? ”

The three boys got up from the ground with red faces, lowered their heads and said nothing.

Unexpectedly, their actions made Moody more and more angry, and he shouted loudly:

"Millison Birdside! Gregory Gower! Zacharith Smith! Answer me, what did I say to you before I started? ”

"Professor, you said that no matter what situation you encounter, as long as you can still move, never panic and think about your situation, but should immediately look for opportunities to fight back!"

Millicent blushed and muttered quietly.

"What else? Gore? ”

Goyle stared at him blankly, and after a long while, he lowered his head and said, "I'm the same as Millicent!" ”

After speaking, he also used his small eyes to sneak a glimpse of Moody's reaction from time to time.

Zhang Xiao 'cooed' and almost laughed, but fortunately he reacted quickly and stifled the laughter, just grinning, but other classmates didn't have such good self-control.

Their shoulders shook and their faces were buried in the crooks of their arms, and it was really Goyle's expression that matched his answer, it was so hilarious.

Moody kept turning his magic eyes and stared at him stunned, completely unexpecting Goyle to give such a genius answer.

He was equally stunned, and even the MONOCULUS bulged out from being too surprised.

Moody scratched at the messy hair and decisively gave up on Goyle, this kid is hopeless, and he is suitable for magical beast conservation work.

Otherwise it's hard to explain to others that he's a human, not a half-troll.

So he looked at Zacharis, who was also shocked:

"Smith, what else do you say?"

Smith came back to his senses and hurriedly said:

"You're also talking about being vigilant at all times, and when you're attacked, you shouldn't think about running away, but how to fight back."

Moody nodded:

"So you know very well, but how do you do it? Just wrestling, you will be overwhelmed, lying on the ground and screaming!

I suspect you won't survive more than 10 seconds in front of the Dark Wizard! ”

The classmates stopped laughing, a little afraid of Moody's piercing gaze.

"Well, I know what you're lacking, and if I continue to be your Defence Against the Dark Arts professor next semester, I'll apply to Dumbledore.

Let you experience some actual combat, such as catching a dark wizard and fighting you or something. ”

The little wizards in the class couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked at Moody in disbelief, just imagining in their minds the hideous-looking and ruthless dark wizards, and they couldn't help but shudder.

Moody wanted to say something, but the melodious bell rang over.

He paused, but finally sighed:

"Class!"

As if they had been pardoned, the little wizards hurriedly shrank their heads and gathered their things.

Malfoy watched as Moody limped out of the classroom with difficulty dragging the prosthetic leg, and inexplicably, his back made people feel a little lonely.

Pony poked Zhang Xiao with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Professor Moody, why does he feel a little sad?" ”

"Sad?" Zhang Xiao stared at Moody's back, and found that this was really the case, and after thinking about it, he understood a little:

"It's probably that he has guarded the wizarding world for most of his life, but the current generation of young wizards has no defense against black magic at all, and they lack combat experience, so it's a little sad.

In Chinese parlance, it was the worst he had ever led. ”

"The worst class?" Malfoy frowned dissatisfied, and said unconvinced, "What's wrong with us." ”

Zhang Xiao was happy: "Actually, the worst class is just an adjective used to express disappointment, if you go to school in China, you will find that the class brought by the teacher will always be the worst class in his mouth." ”

In the end, it was the best student of Chinese at Hogwarts, Malfoy only pondered for a moment and reacted, based on the strange humor of the Englishman, he smiled exceptionally brightly.

They weren't laughing until they got to the restaurant.

Zhang Xiao looked at him a little speechlessly:

"Is it really that funny?"

Malfoy nodded, pulled over the plate and discussed with Zhang Xiao with interest: "Don't you think it's really funny?" Each session was the worst. ”

There was no way, Zhang Xiao had no choice but to perfunctory agree, and turned to other topics to attract attention:

"What's the afternoon class?"

"Divination!" Malfoy replied without thinking, and then the smile immediately disappeared, and the whole person seemed to collapse.

"It's another divination class," the pony laments, hates the divination class, as he always gets the merciless ridicule of Trelawney for his predictions.

It means that Malfoy has no talent for prophecy at all, and he is about to be doubted by Trelawney.

Only Zhang Xiao knew how rebellious Malfoy's prophetic talent was, and almost everything he predicted in class was accurate.

So far, Pony has predicted that the future Minister of Magic will most likely be a woman, predicting that Dumbledore should be dying, but I don't know why he shouldn't die.

Prophesies the ups and downs of her school career (a prophecy that Trelawney praises), but Pony then says that her fate has been completely changed and that it is good to look forward to.

Trelawney thought it was Malfoy's 'last remaining glimmer' of spirituality, but he didn't catch it.

"Do you remember the prophecy Trelawney made last lesson?" Malfoy grumbled.

Zhang Xiao nodded: "Of course I remember." ”

Trelawney made a big prophecy in the last lesson, she first trembled, then screamed, and then held her head, which is the regular trio, generally used for great calamities.

According to her, there will be big changes in the third round of the Super Goblet of Fire, a huge conspiracy has hung over the world, everyone will be drawn into it, and the fate is in chaos.

Trelawney also said in no uncertain terms that she had seen many, many deaths, but could not see who they were.

I have to say that this professor is still very good at intimidating people, many girls covered their mouths, their eyes were full of fear, and they were also full of sympathy when they looked at several warriors.

"Do you think she's crazy? In the near future? Big changes? Could it be the third round of the Super Goblet of Fire? Malfoy said dismissively, "Please, the most powerful forces in the entire wizarding world have come together, and Dumbledore."

How could something happen?

Even a mysterious person wouldn't dare to face Dumbledore, right? ”

Zhang Xiao didn't speak, although reason told him that Trelawney had not entered a special state, and the prophecies were all words, so don't pay attention to them, but just like the fortune teller told you that the year is unfavorable and the disaster of blood and light, even if it is feudal superstition, but the heart is also diaphragm.

It's not worth looking for Dumbledore for this little thing, so I have to complain to my parents.

But I didn't expect my parents to take it seriously, and I went to find the Heavenly Master.

In the end, Grandpa gave a conclusion:

"It's okay, go!"

Gotcha! Grandpa spoke, so can there be a fake?

Zhang Xiao's heart has settled down at this time, and his thoughts are deserting here.

Malfoy suddenly said, "The news of the third round is going to be announced tonight, right?" ”

"Well, it's tonight." Zhang Xiao came back to her senses and nodded, suddenly looking forward to it.

"Come on!"

"Come on!"

After surprising the tedious divination class, I unsurprisingly heard a lot of threatening words.

In an inexplicable atmosphere, dinner finally came.

The young wizards in the entire Great Hall seemed to be a little uneasy, and from time to time they looked at the rostrum in front of them, where Dumbledore was sitting, smiling and chatting with the other headmasters.

Finally, in the expectant gaze of everyone, Dumbledore stood up.

The entire auditorium was silent.

1. Commuter pass 2. Recommended ticket

Maybe there was some misunderstanding in the previous chapter, but the scene design of the fourth volume is relatively large, and it should be second only to the big scene at the end.

So it's more complicated, and there's a bit more to introduce.

I will try my best to maintain logical and reasonable reasons within the existing framework and capabilities.

And as I wrote before, did Voldemort really take pureblood seriously? Actually, no, he is the ultimate egoist, only strength and life are eternal.

If he really cared about purebloods, he wouldn't have recruited werewolves and giants, which were actually lowly creatures in the eyes of purebloods.

By the way, Voldemort also recruited Lily, and he also had a hybrid like Severus.

Voldemort was willing to use this garbage in order to win, and now that he had discovered that the power of Muggles was stronger and more useful, it was only natural to think that using Muggles would be a natural thing to do.

First of all, to be clear, Voldemort doesn't really think of Muggles as collaborators, and I never thought of this possibility, only exploitation.

I hope it can be completed smoothly, and all the holes that should be filled have to be filled!
