Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 10: Cultural invasion of Hogwarts beachhead

   Everyone came to the empty room on the top of the tower, and under the command of Zhang Xu, they began to arrange it.

   Zhang Xu, after seeking Dumbledore’s consent, sent back the structure and dimensions of the room. Now the furniture in the box is tailored to the room.

   First took out a carpet with the reduction curse from the box, and placed the carpet in the empty room. Zhang Xu lifted the reduction curse on the carpet, and the carpet began to grow bigger, covering the entire room.

   Then Zhang Xu took out a shrunken door to replace the original door of the room.

   Then Zhang Xu cast a magic on the carpet and several places at the door. The carpet and the door flashed for a while and then dimmed.

   "George, Fred, say a few words aloud to see." Zhang Xu said to the twins.

"Say what?"

   "How loud is it?"

   The twins spoke in a louder voice than usual.

   The next moment, the carpet under the twins' feet lit up, and then the twins disappeared.

   The few Harry on the side looked a little dumbfounded. Just when they wanted to ask a question, the door of the room was opened. The twins rushed in, but they didn't run two steps. There was another burst of light and the two disappeared.

   This time the twins opened the door and walked in, then spoke with different voices, and then ran and walked, until the light flashed again and again and was sent out of the room.

   After trying several times, the twins tested the bottom line of sound and walking speed.

   "Xu, it's amazing, how did this happen?" Fred asked.

   "Hogwarts can't Apparate," George said.

   Harry and the others were also puzzled.

"This carpet and that door are a set of magic items that can teleport people who are talking and running on the carpet outside the door." Zhang Xu explained to everyone, "This is a small gift from Professor Dumbledore. Privilege, after all, I can't be an administrator in the reading room all day."

   Then, Zhang Xu commanded everyone to start arranging the reading room.

   Harry and Ron are responsible for placing the reduced bookshelves and tables and chairs in the marked areas on the carpet, and the twins are responsible for enlarging the placed bookshelves and tables and chairs.

  Hermione and Zhang Qiu are in charge of placing the chandeliers and some other furniture.

   Zhang Xu is responsible for putting the books on the corresponding shelves.

   Since the reading room has changed from the dormitory originally envisaged to the top floor of the tower which is now several hundred square meters, the books that Zhang Xu originally brought were not enough. After contacting Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao sent a large number of books along with the furniture in the reading room.

   Zhang Xu and the seven people worked hard for the whole morning before setting up the entire reading room.

   In the circular reading room, the bookshelves form a three-layer circle, leaving a passage for people to pass between the bookshelves and the bookshelves.

In the middle of the circle surrounded by    bookshelves, there are rows of long tables and matching chairs for readers.

   The outermost wall next to the window, under each window is a lounge composed of a coffee table and a pair of sofas, and the lounge is separated from the lounge by a screen.

   Unlike other rooms in Hogwarts Castle that lack windows, Zhang Xu asked Dumbledore to open a lot of windows in the room early in the morning to make the whole room brighter. Now every window is fitted with carved wooden windows in Chinese style. Enchanted wooden windows can prevent rain, fog, and wind from entering when the weather is bad.

   On the ceiling of the reading room, there are crystal palace lanterns, which are responsible for providing lighting at night.

   On the walls and some free spaces, there are ink landscape paintings and flower stands with orchid-like plants.

   Looking at the results of their work all morning, Zhang Xu's friends were stunned.

   The entire reading room adopts a modern Chinese-style decoration style. On the basis of retaining the classical and elegant features of traditional Chinese-style decoration, it incorporates the concise and lively characteristics of modern decoration.

   tables and chairs are mahogany furniture decorated with simple lines and Chinese charm. Each chair and sofa is equipped with a silk outer cushion.

  A lacquer screen with magic applied to Yazama can even cut off the sound of the other side.

   Carpets with traditional Chinese patterns painted on the ground, with different patterns marking different areas of the reading room.

At this moment, Zhang Xu just wants to shout 666 to the designer of this decoration style. Such a low-key, luxurious and connotative design can definitely shock the wizards of Hogwarts, big and small, just like the six people around him now. The same as a little buddy.

   Zhang Qiu is okay. I have been to Zhang Xu’s house several times in recent years, and I am psychologically prepared for these decorative styles.

  Harry and Hermione, who grew up in the Muggle world, have seen Chinese-style decorations more or less from books and TV, and it didn't take long for them to calm down.

   The most surprising thing was the three Weasley brothers who had been living in the wizarding world. They were stunned by the expression of such an operation.

   Zhang Xu clapped his hands and said to everyone: "Everyone, come and rest for a while. Later, Professor Dumbledore will come and see that it is okay. The reading room will be open in the afternoon."

   Zhang Xu took the other six people to a seat with the best view outside the window.

   This elegant seat was specially given to him by Zhang Xu, and he also imposed a confusing curse. Without Zhang Xu's consent, others would not notice it.

   Zhang Xu sat down on the sofa by the window, Zhang Qiu sat next to Zhang Xu, and Hermione sat next to Zhang Qiu.

   Harry and other four boys squeezed on the sofa opposite the coffee table.

Zhang Xu picked up the display card placed on the table and clicked on it. A set of tea sets immediately appeared on the table. A piece of matcha cake in a saucer appeared in front of everyone, and a piece of matcha cake appeared in the middle of the table. Dish of cookies.

"Everyone has been busy all morning, you are welcome." Zhang Xu waved his magic wand, and the teapot on the table automatically poured a cup of black tea for everyone. "There is no school library in the reading room so strict. You can sit by the window. Drink tea and eat snacks in these positions. In these positions, everyone can chat louder, and the screen behind it is magical, and the sound of the seats will not affect other places."

   Zhang Xu took out another piece of paper and wrote an invitation letter on it with a pen to invite Dumbledore to the reading room, and then put his magic wand on the paper a little, "Professor Dumbledore."

   Then the paper folded itself into a paper crane, and then flew away.

   Zhang Xu took out five crystal **** and handed them to the three brothers Harry, Hermione, and Weasley. "This is the crystal ball that can check the magic."

   The twin brothers happily took the crystal ball and thanked them again and again.

   Harry and the three wanted to refuse, but they accepted it at Zhang Xu's insistence.

   "Xiao Xu, how do you know these friends?" Zhang Qiu asked Zhang Xu, who only learned that Zhang Xu had such a few friends from the Lion House today while everyone was drinking tea and snacks.

   "Hermione met on the train." Zhang Xu said, "Harry and Ron met in the room before the sorting ceremony."

   "As for this pair of Mr. Weasley." Zhang Xu stared at the twin brothers sullenly for a long time, "They got entangled on the day I cleaned up Pepi Ghost."

   Zhang Xu didn't want to specifically strengthen the "character" at the beginning, but the development of things did not depend on his own will.

   Zhang Qiu is a relative, so I can’t help but know this.

On the first day on the train, Hermione, who could not find a seat, got into Zhang Xu’s carriage where Zhang Xu was alone. At the beginning, Zhang Xu didn’t recognize Hermione and the two chatted. I met in a few days.

   Zhang Xu scared Ron and Harry before the sorting ceremony, and the two remembered Zhang Xu.

   Zhang Xu has a hobby of being in the library, which he brought with him in his previous life. He often saw Hermione in the library, and Hermione asked him a lot of magical questions on the train that day, and found that he was very knowledgeable, so Hermione often asked Zhang Xu for advice, and the two became friends. .

  Harry and Ron met Zhang Xu several times in the library and found that he was a schoolmaster no less than Hermione, so they asked him for homework. Zhang Xu did not answer directly, but suggested which book they should read. The two found that every time they followed Zhang Xu’s suggestion, they could always find the answer to the homework in the book, so they kept asking for advice. Friends.

  Navi is that after Zhang Xu helped him find the lost toad on the boat that day, he regarded Zhang Xu as a friend, and Zhang Xu felt good about this late bloomer, so he made friends with him.

   The twin brothers, after hearing that Zhang Xu had cleaned up Pippi, took the initiative to ask Zhang Xu how to deal with Pippi. Naturally, Zhang Xu couldn't tell them about the Exorcism Talisman, only to use it for a certain magic item. Then the twin brothers promoted their mischievous items to Zhang Xu, and Zhang Xu proposed amendments after seeing them, and then the three of them mixed together to study mischievous magic items and mischievous spells. The fake fire curse Zhang Xu used on them today was researched by the three of them together. Zhang Xu heard that one day the twin brothers played a big game and “ignited” the entire common room of the Lion House, which caused panic among the students. Later, the twin brothers were arrested by Professor McGonagall for training.

   Zhang Xugang and Zhang Qiu finished talking about his friends, and Dumbledore arrived.
