Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 29 What a Children's Book!
Zhang Xiao found that the follow-up impact of the flying lesson was far greater than he had imagined. Perhaps Hogwarts was so peaceful that this slightly legendary story was talked about by little wizards for a long time.

The biggest change was Neville. He found that suddenly many young wizards were willing to get to know him. Although he was still clumsy, the patience of the professors was beyond his expectation.

Even Snape's average number of taunts per lesson dropped from an average of 10 to 8!
With Hermione's help, Neville managed to keep up with the course, and his grades were even better than Crabbe and Goyle.

For the little wizard, there are many students with good grades, but how many friends are willing to risk their lives for you at critical moments?How to choose, they are naturally very clear.

Neville is now very happy every day, because what he gets is not ridicule and ridicule from his classmates, but smiles and encouraging "Come on!"

As for Zhang Xiao, let alone, he even overshadowed Harry and became the most popular person in the first grade.

He is handsome, personable, has excellent grades, and is very polite. Later, it seems that there is a no-nosed monster who also took this script back then.

Hagrid's attitude towards him has also changed a lot, and he even offered to help him take care of the vegetable field. The straightforward big man waved his hands gruffly and said:

"It's not a big deal, it's just a matter of hand, don't worry, I'm a veteran!"

The only weird thing was Malfoy, who enjoyed being courted at first.

But when I received a letter from home at noon the next day, everything changed.

Zhang Xiao still remembered that when he read that letter, Malfoy collapsed, his eyes were red, and then he left in a hurry. In the afternoon, he also saw Malfoy trying to dry his pillowcase with magic.

Out of concern for Brother Yan, Zhang Xiao asked, but Malfoy just shook his head after hesitating for a while, and Zhang Xiao didn't ask further, the most important thing when getting along with friends is a sense of proportion.

As a friend, it is enough to be there when he needs you most.

Zhang Xiao's life became more relaxed and happy again, she went to class every day, did her homework, and went to Hagrid's side to take care of her vegetable field with him when she was free.

Sure enough, as Hagrid said, he is an old hand, he has a way of taking care of animals and plants, and he has some little secret recipes that he has figured out.

Although there were a few things he hadn't grown before, Hagrid said that he could figure out the way of these little things as long as he was given a short time.

"Forbidden Forest? Albus, did I hear you wrong? You mean the Forbidden Forest?"

A spacious, beautiful circular room, the walls are full of portraits, these portraits are sleeping with their eyes closed at this time, but their gently shaking ears show that they are quietly listening to the conversation in the room.

Professor McGonagall was like a fearless lion, staring straight at Dumbledore with stern eyes, and said word by word:

"No! A few children are violating the school rules, but they have good intentions. This punishment is too heavy, and you know, the Forbidden Forest has not been peaceful recently, there."

Albus Dumbledore seems to have long been used to the attitude of an old friend. With his slender fingers, he took out a piece of sizzling bee candy from the silver tray on the table, and said irrelevantly:

"Minerva, I went to Albania and found some ... interesting traces. Similarly, these traces appeared in the Forbidden Forest recently."

"Interesting traces? Albus, you mean..." Professor McGonagall reacted quickly, and then she looked at Dumbledore in disbelief, and said excitedly:

"Then you still let them go to the Forbidden Forest? And they are only freshmen in the first grade, and they don't have the ability to protect themselves!"

Dumbledore's blue eyes were extremely deep, as if he could see through the fog, he said softly:

"Minerva, I will follow them, and besides, I want to verify some things."

Mag miraculously regained her composure, she breathed a sigh of relief, and finally nodded and said:
"If you followed it well, well, you're always so stubborn. After Halloween?"

Zhang Xiao looked at the punishment notice in his hand, his head was full of question marks, I understand the reason, but why should I be punished?Isn't it too much?
Malfoy beside him had already started to tremble, he leaned over with a face of horror, and said in a low voice:

"Zhang, I heard from my father that there are barbaric and cruel people in the Forbidden Forest, and there are even werewolves!
No, I must tell my father to write a letter to Dumbledore, I don't want to go to the Forbidden Forest, this punishment is too much! "

While talking, Malfoy actually had a strange emotion in his heart, if it was like what Dad said, I was not impulsive, but maintained the usual calm and shrewdness of the Malfoy family.
Not only centaurs and werewolves, but also giant spiders and wild Voldemort!
Zhang Xiao also frowned and looked at the notice. This punishment is indeed unreasonable. The points have already been deducted, and the punishment will be reduced accordingly. It is the same as if you beat someone up in your previous life, you won't have to go to jail after you pay for the settlement.

But the Forbidden Forest... is equivalent to losing money after a fight and being sentenced to life. Isn't that outrageous?
Unless the drunkard's intention is not to drink!
He recalled the plot carefully. He remembered some events, but the order was a little unclear. But anyway, it seemed that the punishment of the Forbidden Forest only appeared once.

At that time, I discussed this issue with people on the Internet. Everyone said that there is such a strict logic in children's books, just be happy and happy.

But the key problem is that now it falls on me!

Well, first rule out the possibility that Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall want these little wizards to send them.

Zhang Xiao suddenly remembered his doubts from going to school until now. Did Dumbledore really not know that Quirrell had a problem?

You must know that he has personally investigated every professor's appointment, let alone Defense Against the Dark Arts, which has a "symbolic meaning".

In Snape's words: "Are you secretly hiding behind gardens and bushes, carefully observing every movement of the target?"

Quickly stroked the entire Philosopher's Stone, Zhang Xiao gasped.

Got it, got it all.

There are obviously a hundred more secure ways to protect the Sorcerer's Stone, such as the simplest one, Dumbledore tied it around his waist.

But Dumbledore still chose the defensive method like a child playing around, starting with Hagrid, a big man who couldn't hide his words, to the exposure of clues, and finally to the game of breaking through levels.

It just so happens that all first-year little wizards can solve the problems, but it doesn’t matter if you build a cube with a brick wall and install the Sorcerer’s Stone, because they still don’t know how to explode and shatter
Zhang Xiao's eyes were piercing, as if he had seen through some fog, some magic stone, some mechanism, and some children's books.

This is how Dumbledore inspects newcomers, and fishes along the way.

The point is that Quirrell, this stupid fish, was really caught. Anyone with a little brain can see that it is a trap, and the words "trap" are almost written on the gate on the fourth floor.

But Quirrell obviously has two brains, so why would he be fooled by this? (Note 1)

Zhang Xiao thought about it but didn't understand the question. In the end, he could only simply attribute it to Voldemort's order.

But in any case, it is certain that Dumbledore killed two birds with one stone and won twice!
