Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 116: The dark tide behind the case

It was another Hogsmeade weekend, and the students of Hogwarts ushered in a happy day.

Scarlett, holding the Animagus detector just made, looked for Black's traces around the Screaming Hut.

At Three Broomsticks, Zhang Xu, Harry's trio, Zhang Qiu, and Cedric Diggory were sitting at a wine table in the corner.

Zhang Xu and the others are listening to Cedric's story about the just-concluded "Case of a Winged Beast Wounded by a Eagle Head and Horse Body."

As soon as the case was over, Amos Diggory, the director of the Department of Fantastic Beasts Management and Control, sent the results of the case to the hands of his son who was in Mrs. Padif's teahouse through the fastest owl of the Ministry of Magic.

After receiving the letter, Cedric found the trio of Zhang Xu and Harry as soon as possible and told them the result of the case.

"The final verdict is that the eagle-headed horse-winged beast must leave Hogwarts, and someone must buy it within half a month, and the person who buys it must ensure that it will no longer hurt people. If one of them fails to do so. , It will be executed." Cedric said to several people.

"How much?" Xiaohao Harry said he was not short of money.

"Someone has already bought it. With the money from Qiu's father, I bought it in my father's name, and it will be fostered at Mr. Weasley's house." Cedric said, pointing at Zhang Qiu and Zhang Qiu. Himself and Ron.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were stunned, and they couldn't figure out why there was such an operation. Especially Hermione, who had prepared for this, suddenly realized that she couldn't understand the world.

"Do you think it's as simple as Buckbeak hurting Malfoy?" Zhang Xu shook his head and said to the three of them who were dumbfounded.

"In the beginning, in order to keep Hagrid as a professor, Hogwarts had to sacrifice Buckbeak and hand it over to the Ministry of Magic."

"When it came to the Ministry of Magic, the Buckbeak case started with a struggle between Lucius Malfoy and Hagrid. Then it developed into a struggle between the Malfoy family and Hogwarts. In the end, it developed into the Malfoy family supported by some families, and some other families and Hogwarts on the other. The Buckbeak case became a battlefield for both sides."

"If Buckbeak dies in the end, then the Malfoy family wins. If Buckbeak survives in the end, it's the Hogwarts side who wins."

Cedric went on to say: "In the family that supports Hogwarts, we are led by the Diggory, Zhang, and Weasley families, so in the end, the eagle-headed horse and winged beasts will be handled by the three of us."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione continued to look dumbfounded, they didn't understand the adult world.

"Are there many families supporting Hogwarts?" Harry asked.

"Not many, except for the Weasley family, the others are relatively weak and small families." Zhang Qiu said.

"Isn't your Zhang family also a powerful family?" Hermione asked.

"It is only the branch of Zhang Qiu's family in the UK that is involved in the Zhang family. If the entire Zhang family of China participates in it, it will trigger a world war." Zhang Xutan said.

Then Harry and Hermione looked at Ron together. The two of them had always thought that the children of a powerful wizarding family should be like Draco Malfoy and other students of the Snake Academy, and Ron's style of painting was obviously different from them.

"Don't underestimate the Weasley family, their family is just a little low-key." Cedric said with a smile.

"Then my Potter family can join you too?" Harry said suddenly.

"As the current patriarch of the Potter family, Mr. Harry Potter, your first task is to have a large group of children after graduation and marriage, so that the Potter family can continue." Zhang Xu said to Harry with a funny face.

Harry's face rose as red as Ron's hair.

Zhang Xu was severely stepped on the foot by Zhang Qiu who was sitting aside.

"So, now the wizard family is divided into two factions?" Hermione turned the subject back.

"You can say that, but beyond that, there are more families that are neutral." Cedric said.

"Why is it like this?" Harry asked confused.

"The source of the matter is that he came to Hogwarts." Cedric pointed to Zhang Xu and said to Harry and the others, "His arrival stirred up the magic world that was originally a pool of stagnant water. Over the past two years, he let magic The world has seen a side that it has been deliberately neglecting all the time, and it has also brought more benefits."

"Don't blame me, I just made the cake bigger. It's just that some people didn't see the bigger cake, but saw that the proportion of their unchanged share was reduced." Zhang Xu shrugged and said.

Looking at the confused Harry and Ron, and the half-understanding Hermione, Zhang Qiu explained to them: "For example, if the benefits of the magical world were originally a ten-pound cake, some people shared it. Get half of it, which is a five-pound cake. Now there is an extra 40-pound cake next to this cake, and the two cakes together are fifty pounds. Those people still get only the five pounds on the original small cake Cake, they found that they could divide 50% of the whole cake, but now they can only divide 10%. But they didn’t think about how to divide the big cake, or make a new cake. . All they think of is how to destroy the new cake and let everyone continue to divide the old cakes."

After talking, Harry and Ron were about to have cake in their eyes, and only Hermione nodded thoughtfully.

Some topics just stop there. Next, the topic quickly turned to Quidditch. Among the six players, there are three active seekers and one former substitute. It is not difficult to find a topic in this regard.

Talking and chatting, when everyone talks about Wood, the captain and goalkeeper of the Lions club graduating this year~www.readwn.com~Ron, why don't you join the Quidditch team? "Zhang Xu said to Ron suddenly, "Go and try to take over Wood's position." "

Ron himself hadn't thought about this, and when Zhang Xu brought it up, his own mind began to liven up.

Ron is a bit pushy, and whenever he becomes the focus of everyone's attention, he gets a little crazy.

After all, he has been suppressed by several of his excellent brothers, even his sister, Zhang Xu has been fooled by Zhang Xu to go to the Lion House Quidditch reserve team as a chaser, so he himself needs to do something to prove himself.

Ron himself would not let go of all opportunities to show off. Only a few days later, the incident that Black attacked him that night has already been told by him that he only relied on one person to fight to the death with Black, who was holding a 40-meter long knife, and finally defeated him.

When Ron remembered Zhang Xu's talent for judging people, he couldn't help but his heart moved, maybe he could do it.

I was on a business trip, suddenly cooling down, did not bring enough clothes, almost cold
