Chinese students at Hogwarts

Dumbledore raised his hand and waved lightly. Zhang Xiao's chair immediately slid over, and the smoke screen also enlarged.

"A special variant of the Looking Glass, rarely seen, but I think you already know about my friend, Nicolas Flamel, a passable alchemist."

He clicked on the oddly pot-bellied silver bottle.

Fan, go to Versailles! Nicoléme, a passable alchemist, right?

What are the other alchemists? Apprentice?

Zhang Xiao looked at the smoke screen in front of him without any emotion, as if he was watching a silent movie.

"Professor, can you only see the picture? Where is the sound?"

Dumbledore said slowly:

"Zhang, let me teach you a little trick. If you want to really observe a person, I suggest you just watch what he does, not what he says.

Having a voice will undoubtedly divert some of our attention away from listening to their dialogue, but what if it was like now.

You will find that many small, easily overlooked actions will be so clear. "

I’ve learned it, I’ve learned it. If you say you don’t have decades of experience in secret observation of this extremely practical tip, I won’t believe it.

Being open-minded and eager to learn is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Zhang Xiao immediately imitated Dumbledore and stared at the smoke screen attentively.

The four young wizards seemed to be having a fierce quarrel in the smoke screen, and Malfoy's head was almost touching Harry's.

Ron and Hermione stood aside looking a bit overwhelmed.

Zhang Xiao suddenly discovered a problem. The method Dumbledore taught him was indeed effective. He focused on their movements and found many interesting little movements.

For example, Malfoy would unconsciously stand on tiptoe when he was excited, and Hermione would bite her lip.

But he lacked one key thing, the ability to read those little moves.

"They are quarreling over you now. Malfoy did not live up to your expectations, Zhang. He insisted that your safety should be ensured first."

Dumbledore looked at the smoke screen, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then said:

"Harry thinks that they should go find the Philosopher's Stone first. After all, they have no way to go back to that room to confirm what happened.

Instead of wasting time here, it is better to bet that getting the magic stone will trigger the alarm, and then ask the professor to help. "

I go? Can you tell so much just by looking at the movements?

Zhang Xiao immediately asked for advice sincerely:

"Professor, how did you see it? Can you teach me?"

"I learned lip reading when I was young"

Silence, silence. Fox quietly buried his head under his wings.

Zhang Xiao felt that his teeth were itchy, so he gritted his teeth and asked:

"Professor, what's the difference between this and listening to sounds? Doesn't it mean that you can discover more details by ignoring the sounds?"

Dumbledore was like a naughty boy who succeeded in his prank. He winked at Zhang Xiao and said briskly:

“That’s for you, Zhang.

I have learned a lot over this long period of time, and now I can easily read lips and watch movements at the same time. "

You are older and you are more powerful!

Don't believe a single word of Dumbledore's words!

The four young wizards on the smoke screen seemed to have reached a consensus. After it was indeed impossible to return to the room above, Malfoy immediately agreed with Potter and got the Philosopher's Stone as soon as possible.

In Malfoy's opinion, such an important thing must have an alarm device. The sooner the device is triggered, the safer Zhang Xiao will be.

"This is what a Slytherin should have, calm and shrewd. They will assess the situation and choose the right path when faced with problems.

Zhang, congratulations, at least you have successfully influenced one student now. "

This should obviously be your job, but a principal like you doesn't fulfill your duties, worries about this and that every day, and even bullies children.

Are you sorry?

"Thank you for the compliment, Professor Dumbledore. In fact, I think Gryffindor students should also learn something new."

Zhang Xiao simply sat up straight and said in Dumbledore's interested eyes:

"Gryffindor should know that recklessness is not courage. True courage is the courage to give everything for what you insist on, rather than simply giving up your life."

Dumbledore nodded slightly in agreement, then shook his head, and said with emotion in a tone that Zhang Xiao couldn't quite understand:

"That's why there are four colleges."

What does this have to do with the four colleges? But when it came to the four colleges, Zhang Xiao had already had an idea and took this opportunity to put it forward.

"Principal, there is something I can't understand. I understand cultivating a sense of belonging and a sense of honor in the college, but why are the four colleges so divided?"

Dumbledore was really silent now. He said slowly:

"Maybe it's because this is the tradition set by the founder."

Hey! Zhang Xiao almost laughed angrily, why are you, a foreigner, telling me that 'the laws of the ancestors are immutable'?

Fortunately, Dumbledore was not a pedantic person. He quickly asked:

"It seems like you have any new plans?"

Zhang Xiao said directly:

"Yes, I feel that apart from classes and occasional communication, the four colleges communicate too little. I suggest adding a school common room. Students can choose to be in the large common room or the college lounge.

This will not only ensure the independence of the college, but also increase the understanding of each other among the four colleges. "

Dumbledore was silent, seeming to be thinking about the pros and cons:

"Where is the location?"

“The school restaurant has a ceiling height of more than ten meters and can be divided into two floors. The bottom floor is still a restaurant.

The second floor is used as a large common room, which can accommodate all the teachers and students of the school. "

Dumbledore thought for a while again, and finally nodded gently:

"I'll think about it again, and if I can, I'll adopt your opinion."

Zhang Xiao nodded. He had put forward his opinion. It was up to Dumbledore whether he should use it or not.

The old man and the young man once again focused their attention on the smoke screen. At this time, they had arrived at the room full of flying keys.

Several young wizards gathered together again to discuss for a while, then Malfoy and Harry got on their broomsticks and soared into the sky.

It must be said that both young wizards have demonstrated superb skills beyond their age.

Forget it, Harry is, after all, one of the best seekers at Hogwarts in a century. Malfoy's flying looks only slightly worse than Harry's.

Zhang Xiao suddenly felt a little emotional.

A little bit worse, a little bit worse than anything else.

Malfoy's grades are slightly worse than those of Zhang Xiao and Hermione.

Broomsticks are a little worse than Harry Potter.

Wizard chess is a bit worse than Ron's.

He is just about capable of being the best at everything, but fate plays tricks on people

With the cooperation of the two, this level was passed smoothly almost quickly.

Dumbledore blinked and swallowed a whole ice rat. This magical candy can make you feel chilled.

You may even feel like there is a real mouse squirming in your stomach.

Dumbledore's voice was mixed with the squeaking sound of the ice rat, which sounded particularly interesting.

"Well, I didn't expect Draco's flying (squeak!) skills to be very good (squeak!), I should make it a little more difficult, for example, that door requires three keys to open.

And change all the keys to Golden Snitch."

Listen, is this still human talk?

You are over 100 years old, and the five of us combined are not even half your age. Why do you always want to embarrass the children? Just the three broken brooms you provided.

If you can catch the snitch, then you have a ghost!

The next room was beyond Zhang Xiao's expectation. According to the original work, it should be a giant monster, but it had been knocked unconscious by Quirrell.

But instead of being dizzy, the giant monster here looked a little familiar.

like

"This is the giant monster you knocked out in the Forbidden Forest last time. It told me that it really wanted to see you again, so I granted its wish."

Dumbledore's voice was full of narrow-mindedness, and it seemed that doing so was very interesting.

Zhang Xiao is so numb that he can use troll language like this?

Although he extremely doubted whether the troll was intelligent enough to identify the wizard last time, he believed in Dumbledore.

Sure enough, Dumbledore never disappoints. What he said to the troll is that whoever appears in front of you is the person you are looking for!

Zhang Xiao stared dumbfoundedly as the violent and bloodthirsty trolls in the smoke screen chased the little wizards crazily.

Fortunately, Dumbledore wasn't completely impersonal yet, leaving quite a few obstacles in the room.

Relying on these obstacles, the little wizard struggled to avoid the troll's attack.

Another thing that Zhang Xiao didn't expect was that Harry actually successfully used the Iron Armor Curse, which seemed to be more powerful than Malfoy's.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor Flitwick told me before that I should not help the first-year wizards to learn too many spells beyond themselves, but Harry."

"Yes, that's true. Filius is right. It is true that first-year wizards are not suitable for learning too advanced magic, but the Iron Armor Curse is different."

Dumbledore saw that the drink in Zhang Xiao's hand was half empty. He raised his finger slightly, and Zhang Xiao found that his cup was like Doctor Strange refilling Thor's cup.

Filled up very quickly.

"I think you have discovered that the most important thing to release the Iron Armor Curse is 'protection', which requires the caster to have a strong desire to protect.

Therefore, this spell is also called the safest spell. Except for protection, any thought will weaken the effectiveness of the spell.

Harry has been secretly practicing the Iron Armor Curse with amazing perseverance. Mr. Weasley only lasted less than three days, but he practiced it for a whole month! "

Dumbledore had a look of relief on his face, and he suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Zhang, it's time to send you back later.

At this critical time, it would not be good to be without you. "

What's missing doesn't feel good to me! We must be arriving in Quirrell soon, right? You just wanted to protect Harry secretly to prevent anything from happening to Harry.

Zhang Xiao secretly cursed and nodded honestly:

"Okay, Professor Dumbledore."

The few little wizards on the smoke screen finally bypassed the giant monster in a panic and rushed into the next room.

At this time, Dumbledore stood up and clapped his hands gently. Fox let out a loud chirp and flew to his shoulders. Zhang Xiao felt a warm flame wrap around him.

Then there was a force that was like stretching and squeezing. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had arrived in a messy room.

Standing in front of him was a large man dragging a big stick and looking very annoyed.

Troll:

Zhang Xiao:.

No, Lao Deng, why don't you teleport directly? Even if you teleport me to the potion level, what does it mean to throw me in front of the troll?

I took out a thick stack of talismans from the Qiankun bag. I had no choice but to throw coins!

The skin on the opposite side is too thick and cannot be broken through temporarily.

The troll's little eyes widened a little as he tried to move his gaze towards the talisman in Zhang Xiao's hand.

Then, as if he had seen something terrifying, his huge body couldn't help but tremble. He covered his ears and squatted in the corner, shivering.

Obviously those two thunder talismans left a deep psychological shadow on him.

Well, Zhang Xiao looked at the giant monster crouching with his head covered in defense, then at the talisman paper in his hand that was as thick as 50,000 yuan, and silently stuffed it back into the Qiankun bag.

Is this the power of krypton gold? ?

I learned it, now go find Quirrell to fight!

Pushing open the door, he walked into the next room and saw Ron standing in front of the chessboard, ready to direct everyone to the chessboard.

Hermione was the first to notice Zhang Xiao walking in from the door. After a brief moment of daze, she let out a scream.

Everyone turned their heads in astonishment, and then shouted in surprise:

"open!"

"Great! Where have you been?"

"Zhang, are you okay?"

The little wizards surrounded Zhang Xiao, patting him on the shoulders and telling him about their previous adventures.

Malfoy watched the three little ones laughing and dancing in silence, until finally he walked up and said slowly:

"I thought the president of Qingluan Club was going to be replaced!"

Draco, if I hadn't seen you in the principal's office so anxious that you almost cried, I would have believed it!

He punched Malfoy in the chest and said some words that didn't need to be said.

Zhang Xiao said a few words vaguely, and finally everyone regained their composure, but the level in front of them made everyone's expressions become solemn again.

Ron pointed at the huge chessboard in front of him and said:

"Zhang, this is a magic chessboard. According to our guess, three people must come on to replace the chess pieces, and then win the game before we can pass."

His ears became red again, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead:

"Honestly, I'm not sure. We just discussed it. Harry, Malfoy, and I will go on stage, and Hermione will stay."

As Ron spoke, he looked at Malfoy in surprise, as if wondering that he would actually take the initiative to take the risk.

Malfoy snorted:

"Hiding behind a woman is a disgrace to a noble!"

Don't mention it, the young master who wants to be a real noble is quite cute, especially his little expression, which is so airy.

"Have you thought about the consequences if the chess piece is 'eaten'?" Hermione asked worriedly.

Harry said solemnly:

"Hermione, as long as it can prevent the mysterious man from being resurrected, I am willing to die even if it means letting me die. Ron, if someone must die later, let me be eaten first!"

Harry's words caused everyone to fall into an unspeakable heavy atmosphere. Hermione's eyes began to sparkle with tears. She shook her head in pain and whispered:

"Oh, no, Harry, we will definitely find a suitable way"

"Guys, I have a good idea that might work."

Everyone immediately raised their heads and looked at him with hopeful eyes. Hermione wiped her tears and asked anxiously:

"Zhang, what can I do?"

Zhang Xiao took out a pair of exquisite wizard chess pieces from his Qiankun bag. The shiny and round chess pieces looked like they were not cheap.

He originally planned to modify the wizard chess, but the chess pieces in the wizard firecrackers were cheap. After only a week, he could hardly even understand the words, and some chess pieces turned into ordinary wooden chess pieces. people.

Speechless, Zhang Xiao customized this wizard chess piece, which can be said to be the most expensive in the wizarding world, and just got it not long ago.

The most important thing is that this chessboard has been included in the chess records of the International Wizarding Chess Competition for nearly 100 years!

Harry and Ron's eyes lit up, obviously thinking of the game of chess on Christmas Day that almost made Ron scratch his head.

"Zhang! You are such a genius!"

Harry and Ron cheered, and under the confused eyes of Malfoy and Hermione, they walked majestically to the chessboard and called to Malfoy:

"Why are you still standing there? We will definitely win this game!"

Zhang Xiao took Hermione and sat in front of the chessboard, and told the confused little witch:

"You can walk the other way later!"

"Keke, can you play chess? Zhang"

Zhang Xiao chuckled, showed an expression that every man would understand, and pulled out his wand.

Change the chess pieces representing Harry on the chessboard into "Monroe", "Sophie Marceau" and "Audrey Hepburn"

He raised his eyebrows at the stunned Hermione:

"I can't do it, but they can!"

The chess pieces on the field were already boiling. Zhang Xiao waved his hand and roared:

"Gentlemen! The bastard across the street wants to steal these three beautiful ladies and is ready to do something bad!

let's go! Defend our goddess! Win this! "

The chess pieces were almost on fire. They raised weapons the size of toothpicks and let out bursts of angry roars.

"Kill these bastards!"

"The goddess is ours!"

"If you want to get close to these beautiful ladies, step over my body first!"

Zhang Xiao shrugged at Hermione, done! Go talk to AI!

Everyone, I want to do a four-wheel test tomorrow. Please don’t raise books tomorrow. It’s very important. Thank you.
