Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 139: Follow-up development

Early the next morning, while Zhang Xu and Furong were eating hot dry noodles in front of the breakfast stall, an owl flew towards their place.

As soon as the owl flew to the outside of the stall, it was hit by a spell, then **** with a rope and hung on the side of the awning of the stall.

"Whose owl, hurry up." The owner of the breakfast stall said to the guests. "These owls are real too. Isn't it okay to find a place outside to wait? You have to jump to the dinner table, it's not hygienic at all. "

Zhang Xu found that the hanging owl was a bit familiar, and remembered that it was a Hogwarts owl.

Zhang Xu walked over to untie the owl, took a letter from its feet, and found that Dumbledore had written him.

Zhang Xu let go of the owl and sat back at the table with the letter.

Dumbledore expressed concern in the letter about the Dark Mark that appeared last night, so he hoped that Zhang Xu could help protect Harry Potter if it is convenient for the rest of the holiday.

There was still about a week left during the holiday. Zhang Xu and Furong discussed it. Zhang Xu went to the Burrow when Furong was going back to France to prepare for the start of the next semester.

When Zhang Xu saw the Burrow, Harry and Weasley were playing Quidditch, Mr. Weasley and Percy had gone to work at the Ministry of Magic, and Mrs. Weasley was preparing lunch.

Mrs. Weasley was very happy that Dumbledore had sent Zhang Xu to protect Harry, and then handed Zhang Xu a basket of potatoes.

Zhang Xu helped in the kitchen while listening to Mrs. Weasley's nagging about the follow-up development of the incident last night.

Because Mr. Weasley and Percy were working at the Ministry of Magic, they dealt with the matter overnight last night. They took time to bring Harry and the others back this morning. They simply ate some breakfast and went back to the Ministry of Magic to continue working. So Wei Mrs. Slay knew a lot of inside information.

The three signs that Zhang Xu quietly produced last night caused the Ministry of Magic to have a heart attack.

It would be okay if Zhang Xu made the heads of Pleasant Goat, Twilight Sparkle, and Doraemon last night, but the logos he made were all based on skulls.

With the Dark Devil mark in front, no one would think that the organizations or individuals represented by these three marks would be harmless to humans and animals.

The marks of three organizations or individuals that are obviously not good and the marks of the Dark Lord appear at the same time. What is the relationship between them, whether they are allies, affiliates, or a new generation of evil forces preparing to seize the position of the third-generation Dark Lord. All these made the officials of the Ministry of Magic scratch their heads.

There are also those shamans who were arrested, and the Ministry of Magic is working overtime to interrogate which power they belong to.

In addition to some former Death Eaters among the captured wizards, there are also many wizards who usually live in the gray area.

The things that these wizards committed in the past were not enough to get into Azkaban. They all committed the small things that were fined the most after being caught.

Now these wizards are considered by the Ministry of Magic to be members of the other three forces, so they are listed as the focus of interrogation.

But the Ministry of Magic couldn’t even ask for the information they wanted. Veritaserum, dementia and other methods were used, but the information about the organization represented by the three skull markings was nothing. I didn't get it.

If it were in the past, they might be deemed to have nothing to do with these organizations. But now the Ministry of Magic's thinking is that the Dark Mark appeared last night, and there were former Death Eaters among the wizards who participated in the disturbance, so there must be people from the other three organizations among the people involved in the disturbance.

As the initiator, Zhang Xu is quite satisfied with the current situation.

In the attack last night, the wizards were clearly aimed at the Huaxia Camp, and the Aurors did not appear until the last minute, which made Zhang Xu very unhappy.

Zhang is upset by himself, and he wants to make his upset people also upset.

Although the follow-up matters will be resolved by the government and the Ministry of Magic, Zhang Xu himself has a way to add obstacles to the Ministry and the wizards.

So after the appearance of the Dark Mark, he decided to muddy the water, let the Ministry of Magic exhausted, and finally wasted a lot of effort, so that the wizards who participated in the attack would suffer more.

As for how the matter ended up, whether the Ministry of Magic would arrest Eiichiro Oda in a few years' time was not his concern.

After working in the kitchen, Zhang Xu picked up today's "Prophet Daily" in the dining room and read it.

His focus is on the report written by Rita Ski.

Rita Skeeter can be said to be a "well-known" in the British magic circle, and her articles are almost exclusively against the Ministry of Magic.

In the "story" that Zhang Xu knows, she often uses utterance out of nothing in her articles (for example, claiming that Harry and Hermione have a leg), inductive suggestion (for example, suggesting that Dumbledore and Harry have a leg), and seeking to refute rumors (For example, after the "Dark Marks Incident," seek to dispel rumors and move the corpse out of the woods) and use information asymmetry to selectively publish information (for example, Dumbledore wrote the book Black Dumbledore after his death) to achieve the purpose of attracting attention.

Zhang Xu read her report on the incident last night, mainly focusing on the Ministry of Magic's unresponsive response and failure, key criminals not being captured, impunity for black wizards for many years, injuries to people in friendly countries, and humiliation of the country by the incident.

From the perspective of Zhang Xu's personal experience of the incident, some of the accusations in Rita Skeeter's article are quite pertinent.

Last night, the Ministry of Magic did not make any effective response to the riot in a short period of time~www.readwn.com~ allowed its scale to expand, which shows how slow the response speed of the Ministry is.

Except for the following three skull marks, the caster of the Dark Mark, which has the greatest influence on the British magical world, failed to catch it, and it was incompetent in the eyes of the masses.

Among the wizards who were later arrested were members of the former Death Eaters. This incident touched the pain points of the masses, and no one wanted the Death Eaters to make a comeback. Back then, the Ministry of Magic cast a lot of "innocent" Death Eaters, which made them taste the bitter fruit now.

In the riots last night, many foreign wizards in the camp were injured, and several wizards from the two countries that directly participated in the war, China and Russia, were also injured. The news was also accompanied by a row of Chinese wizards lying unconscious on the ground, but Zhang Xu was sure that when work ended last night, the second person from the right in the photo, Ye, was still alive and kicking.

The emergence of such a serious incident in front of tens of thousands of foreign friends is enough to be a shame to the whole world.

If there is no superfluous rumors seeking to dispel rumors at the end, this article by Rita Skeeter can be regarded as a masterpiece of current malpractices.

"It seems that there will be more opportunities to teach her in the future." Zhang Xu thought after reading the article.
