Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Zhang Xu immersed himself in eating breakfast, and ignored the two people who were supposed to be relatives of the Weasley family at the other table. ~ Sui~ Meng~ Xiao~ Say~щ~suimеng~lā They are not relatives of their own, so there is no need to go to say hello.

Going back to sleep after a full breakfast is a very happy thing, but Zhang Xugang who spent the whole night making up for more than two hours of sleep was awakened by the sound of knocking on the glass window.

Depressed Zhang Xu opened the window and let in an owl delivering a letter. He took the parchment scroll from the owl's leg and found that it was a letter bearing the wax seal of the Ministry of Magic. Open the letter, the content is that the Ministry of Magic will hold a meeting at the Ministry of Magic at 3 o'clock this afternoon about the next principal of Hogwarts. The Ministry of Magic has invited Zhang Xu to attend as one of the student representatives.

Zhang Xu got up and took a label in the room and wrote "Always support the principal, who is the principal supports who", then rolled the note on the owl's leg, and finally threw the owl out. window.

He wasn't interested in participating in this kind of nonchalant meeting now, and the Ministry of Magic jumped out impatiently before the school board had spoken out.

However, an hour later, Zhang Xu was awakened by another sound, this time it was the ringtone of the mobile phone.

"Where are you?" Scarlett's voice came over the phone.

"In a dream." Zhang Xu replied in a daze.

The person on the other end ignored Zhang Xu's answer and continued: "The Ministry of Magic just sent me a letter."

"If it's for the principal candidate to hold a meeting, I have also received a letter that writes it." Zhang Xu replied half asleep.

"Then are you going?" Scarlett asked.

"I turned it off. I'd better not get involved in such a thing." Zhang Xu replied.

"Then I won't go either." Scarlett said.

Zhang Xu then said: "I don't have to go, because it's okay if I don't go. But you have to go. You are not afraid that the new principal will put on your shoes when the time comes."

"90% of the new principal is McGonagall, what am I afraid of?" Scarlett asked.

"Distribution of teaching funds." Zhang Xu said.

He stayed in the faculty office for three years, and some secret fights between professors are still very clear.

In the struggle between the faculty at Hogwarts, the battle between the deans about the college points and the outcome of the Quidditch game is only one part, and the most fierce competition is the battle for teaching funds before the beginning of each school year. .

Although the financial situation at Hogwarts has been very good in recent years, and teaching funding has increased year by year, this does not mean that professors will not compete. On the contrary, the increase in funding has made the competition among professors more intense.

In the past, there was not much money, and everyone would consider others when competing.

However, teaching funding is now several times higher than before, and the professors' thinking is basically "You can get a little more than before. You didn't all come here back then. Give me the rest."

In the past in this war of dividing teaching funds, there were two people who didn't have to worry about it. One was Professor Bins and the other was Professor Zhang.

Professor Bins’s history of magic is a purely theoretical class. It doesn’t use any equipment or materials. The biggest application item in his application for which a punctuation mark hasn’t changed for many years is when the light is bad on rainy days. Candles used for lighting in the classroom.

Therefore, in the past, the first application approved by Deng Deng every year was from Professor Bins.

As for the former Professor Zhang, everyone did not forget to dig wells. As long as the items in the application form he sent were not too excessive, everyone would recognize it.

And the next competition will be fierce. The fertilizer and other things used in the herbal medicine class have to spend money. In order to improve the level of the students, the potions class has to invest more money to purchase more advanced raw materials and protect the magical animals used in the class. There is no shortage of animal feed. If the tea used in the divination class does not come from Assam, how can it be embarrassed to appear in the historic Hogwarts...

The funding is fixed. If you want to get more, you have to let others get less.

On the day when the professors were discussing the allocation of funds, they had only two things to do: persuade the principal to pass their own application, and persuade the principal to reject other people's applications.

According to someone in Si, that time of year is really lively. Especially last year, Snape, who used to be able to get a large part of the funds to teach the potions class, was liquidated by other professors after he changed his position as the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Snape drew thick curtains in the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom and used it in the lower room, so a lot of candles were needed for lighting.

Soon the other professors caught the question on Snape's funding application form.

Everyone has been in the classroom upstairs for so many years, and they know how many candles are needed in an academic year. Why do you have to apply for so many Snape.

Then the professors slashed Snape’s application together~www.readwn.com~Professor Si, like Professor Bins, does not require much funding for pure theory courses, but if it is unnecessarily used by others It wouldn't be so good if the reason was cut.

After being reminded by Zhang Xu, someone from Si suddenly realized that he really had to take a trip.

"Where are you dreaming now?" Scarlett asked. "I'll go to your side first. The Burrow can't stay."

Zhang Xu reported the name, location and room number of the hotel where he was staying.

Less than five minutes after hanging up, Scarlett appeared in Zhang Xu's room.

"Why can't you stay in the Burrow?" Zhang Xu asked with a yawn.

Scarlett did not answer, but asked, "What did you do last night?"

Zhang Xu was relieved that the members of the Order of the Phoenix in the Burrow must be discussing his deal with Voldemort last night. The incident last night was really exciting for them, especially since it happened after Dumbledore's death. If the brain is big enough, this incident can at least draw hundreds of thousands of words.

It is precisely because of this matter that he needs to calm them down before he can talk to them, that's why he hesitated to go to the Burrow.

Zhang Xu looked at Scarlett and asked, "Do you believe me?"

"I can only believe you now," Scarlett replied, "So I hope you don't hide something from me."

Zhang Xu sighed and said, "If I can tell you now, I will naturally tell you that you will know the answer after more than ten years of things that you can't tell now."

Then the two people in the room fell into silence.

The book does not go into details.

When it was two o'clock in the afternoon, Scarlett turned off the TV and glanced at Zhang Xu, who was still hunched under the covers. He picked up the leave application written by Zhang Xu in an envelope on the table last night and left. room.
