Chinese students at Hogwarts

"Then why don't you save him?"

After all, Zhang Xiao couldn't hold back and asked the question that was stuck in his throat.

Dumbledore's blue eyes looked at him through the lenses, and he didn't know if it was his own imagination, but he felt that his eyes seemed to have reflections like tears.

"Zhang, I am not omnipotent. There are times when I am powerless. There is only one way to separate them, and that is to kill Quirrell."

Zhang Xiao nodded silently, bowed slightly and left.

Needless to say the rest, he is still the same Dumbledore, who immediately displayed his remaining value after finding out that Quirrell could not be saved.

Great and cold.

Sometimes, giving people false hope may not be another kind of cruelty.

Dumbledore watched Zhang Xiao's back disappear into the passage. He took off his glasses, stared blankly out of the window, and murmured in an almost whispering voice:

"Quilinus Quirrell, I always remember him, that smart little boy, whose wand was made of unicorn hair, very kind, with a shy smile when he first entered school.

I remember, I remember every student. "

Rumors spread among the little wizards like the wind, and they became more and more outrageous. Every little wizard who participated in the operation was sought after like never before.

Malfoy enjoyed it so much. He finally felt like a real noble. Wherever he went, he could get awe-inspiring looks from the little wizards. They surrounded Malfoy, eager to know some 'inside information' or Get first-hand information to use as conversation starters.

At this time, Malfoy would raise his head slightly, pretending to be impatient, and finally "reluctantly" reveal a few words amidst everyone's admiration.

For example, the three-headed Fluffy, the thrilling broomstick, the ferocious troll, the magic chessboard and the final villain Quirrell.

Of course, the Dark Lord's soul disappeared from it. This was a hush-hush order issued by Dumbledore. The principal seemed to have a particularly deep knowledge of confidentiality, and Malfoy couldn't tell it even if he wanted to.

Any word can cause the young wizards to exclaim. In the story told, Malfoy himself and Zhang Xiao occupy almost all the scenes. As for Potter, Weasley, and Granger, there are only three beside them. A character who applauds and cheers for them both?

If any little wizard points out the doubts:

"But what Weasley said is different from what you said. What you said was all done by him, and it was Harry Potter who faced Quirrell directly, and now he is still lying in the school hospital!"

Malfoy would blush and mumble angrily about artistic exaggeration, story improvement, and other difficult to understand words.

Compared with Malfoy who cleverly split the story into chapters and told them one after another to whet the appetite of the little wizards.

Ron was much rougher. He wished he could cast an amplifying spell on himself. As long as anyone asked him, he would talk about the whole story, including his own important role.

In particular, the story of "Malfoy defeated the three-headed dog and Weasley retreated from power" was told over and over again until everyone lost interest and then turned to the next plot.

"Weasley bravely fights the troll, Malfoy's life hangs by a thread."

Harry is naturally the main character in the story. The little wizards could not get past Madam Pomfrey's defense and could only express their excitement and admiration through gifts, which was almost enough to catch up with Zhang Xiao's last hospitalization.

As Zhang Xiao, who also received the most attention, like Hermione, he was completely uninterested in these, and even regarded them as a kind of trouble, so the two made an appointment to find a relatively secluded place to exchange their learning experiences.

As the two recognized top men and women at Hogwarts, when the report cards were hung on the bulletin board, the two of them had perfect scores in all their homework, making everyone couldn't help but lower their heads in shame.

Moreover, both of them studied in Muggle schools, and this experience gave them similar methods of summarizing.

Through the little witch's notes, Zhang Xiao could only say that Hermione was not just a little smart and reading as she said.

She is very good at breaking down difficult points into details, and then grasping the key points to overcome them in one fell swoop. Apart from some lack of association skills and abstract thinking, it can be said that she is definitely a talent for learning to read.

Hermione was particularly envious of Zhang Xiao's unbridled imagination, and tentatively asked if she could learn some magic spells from him next semester. Zhang Xiao readily agreed. He had originally planned to hold a small club next semester.

The happy time is always short-lived, and the end of the semester is here in just a blink of an eye.

The Great Hall was decked out in Ravenclaw's blue and bronze colors because of the academic year's outbreak of Slytherin infighting and Snape's persistence in deducting points from Gryffindor.

Although Zhang Xiao's daily outstanding performance earned Slytherin a lot of points, especially the extra 40 points in the exam, the previous pitfall was too big (250 was owed), so Slytherin could only settle for third place. .

In the end, Ravenclaw finally won the Academy Cup they dreamed of. On the wall behind the guest of honor was a huge banner with a bronze eagle of Ravenclaw.

This put an unprecedented bright smile on the faces of the little eagles. Zhang Xiao could only mourn them in silence in his heart. When Dumbledore arrived, a wave of operations should be carried out.

If possible, he would rather let the little badgers win the Academy Cup. Well, why not do some py next semester and let the little badgers win the second cup?

Suddenly, the door of the auditorium was pushed open, and Harry pretended to be calm and walked in. It was obvious that he was in a good mood, and Dumbledore's 'education of love' was obviously very effective.

There was a sudden silence in the auditorium, and then suddenly everyone started talking loudly again.

A moment later, Dumbledore arrived, and the noise in the auditorium gradually subsided.

"Another year has passed!" Dumbledore said with a smile. "Before you enjoy these delicacies, I must trouble you to listen to an old man's cliché.

What a wonderful year it has been!

Your little minds must be richer than before. There is a whole summer vacation waiting for you ahead.

This will allow you to digest those things and clear your mind before the start of next semester.

“Now, as far as I know, we first have to conduct the Academy Cup award ceremony. The specific scores of each academy are as follows:

Fourth place, Gryffindor, 312 points;

Third place, Slytherin, 362 points;

Second place, Hufflepuff, 426 points;

First place, Ravenclaw, four hundred and seventy points. "

The Ravenclaw table erupted into a thunderous roar of cheers and stamping of feet.

"Yes, yes, the performance is good." Dumbledore said, "However, the recent events must also be taken into account."

The auditorium became very quiet, and the expressions of most of the eaglets suddenly changed. It was obvious that the smart Ravenclaw had connected the recent events.

If you guessed it right, the following will be the final extra points?

Then we.

"Ahem, uh, um." Dumbledore cleared his throat.

"I still have some final points to distribute. Let me see. By the way..

"Item 1 - Mr. Ron Weasley, Miss Hermione Granger, and Mr. Draco Malfoy"

Ron's face suddenly turned red, looking like a carrot dried by the sun.

Hermione buried her face in her arms;

Malfoy bowed politely towards the podium, and deliberately straightened the Qingluan Society badge on his chest.

"There are many types of courage," Dumbledore smiled. "To face danger bravely for the sake of persistence in your heart requires far more than ordinary fearlessness. I think you have probably learned something.

During the difficult journey, the three gentlemen and ladies used their wisdom and calmness to overcome one difficulty after another, and finally prevented the tragedy from happening.

For this, I will reward each of them fifty points! "

The Gryffindors' cheers almost overturned the enchanted ceiling, and the stars above their heads seemed to be shaken slightly.

Percy can be heard shouting to the other prefects: "It's my brother, you know it!

My youngest brother! I relied on him to pass the most difficult three-headed dog! !”

Slytherin was a different scene. They were also very excited, but they tried hard to maintain restraint. Instead, they extended their hands gracefully and applauded warmly but not violently.

It took a lot of effort for everyone to calm down again.

"Item two - Harry Potter..." said Dumbledore.

The auditorium suddenly became extremely quiet. "..He showed fearless courage and extraordinary courage. It was his step forward that finally stopped Quirrell from stealing the Sorcerer's Stone. For this, I would also like to reward the six members of Gryffindor House." very."

The Gryffindors around them were ecstatic, jumping up and down at the dining table - they had risen a full one hundred and sixty points!

Zhang Xiao's heart twitched. In fact, Quirrell never hurt anyone. He remembered the words, 'I am a professor at Hogwarts, I should protect them, I must protect them! ’

Did Dumbledore do the right thing? Zhang Xiao smiled bitterly. Of course he did. From a rational point of view, this is the best way to deal with it.

And he even risked his life for his own plan. The difference between fighting against me and fighting against me is beyond reproach.

At that time, I should have done a serious ritual for Quirrell. Even though he had lost his soul, at least someone should pay homage to him, right?

The noise all around was deafening. Those students who were shouting until their voices were hoarse while still calculating the scores in their minds knew that Gryffindor now had 472 points - already surpassing Ravenclaw! They are champions!

Dumbledore raised a hand. The auditorium gradually became quiet again.

"Ms. Ravenclaw once said that extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth." Dumbledore smiled. "A young wizard used his wisdom to achieve outstanding performance far beyond ordinary people.

I think you already know who I'm talking about. "

Zhang Xiao felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him in an instant, as if he was being targeted by a spotlight. This made him, who had very keen senses, twist his body unconsciously.

Therefore, I want to reward Mr. Xiao Zhang.f"

Zhang Xiao suddenly narrowed his eyes, took off the Qingluan Society badge from his chest, and stuck it on the table.

It's okay to operate behind the scenes, but don't do it on my head. If Gryffindor gets the cup like this, can I still lead the team?

Dumbledore obviously noticed his actions, and the old and new generations of silver coins reached a tacit understanding in a very short period of time.

"I want to reward Mr. Xiao Zhang with sixty points!"

Zhang Xiao then picked up the badge again and pretended that he just didn't wear it properly. Is it an equal share? It's barely acceptable.

The Slytherin students finally couldn't bear it anymore. They cheered and clapped their hands vigorously.

The cheers at the Gryffindor table were equally high, as they celebrated their victory enthusiastically. Only the eaglets were pale, biting their lips and sitting at their long table in despair.

Professor Flitwick had obviously expected this. He sat cross-legged on the auspicious cloud, shook hands with Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall with a wry smile, and seemed to say something.

The little badgers didn't care. They held forks and spoons in their mouths. Many of them even used chopsticks. They were not interested in who won the Academy Cup and just wanted to get started quickly.

"This means," Dumbledore had to shout over the thunderous cheers, "that we need to make a few minor changes to the decor here."

He clapped his hands, and instantly the blue hanging ribbons turned to bright red and green, the bronze to gold and silver;

The huge Ravenclaw eagle disappeared, replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion and a winding Slytherin snake spitting out letters.

Snakes and lions are hung on both sides of the wall, as if looking at each other.

Many people were attracted by the rare sight. They looked at the huge tapestries on the walls on both sides in amazement and whispered about something.

Amidst the noise, Dumbledore opened his arms and said with a smile: "The banquet begins!"

As if suddenly, their closets were empty and their things were packed into suitcases.

Zhang Xiao frowned and looked at the notice in his hand. It was a notification letter, and the content above probably warned them not to use magic during the holiday.

There is also a place for signature at the end. In the words of the professor, this is a signature to show that you have understood the content.

What do you know about signing, it is obviously a contract! There will be annoying traces after signing it, right?

He curled his lips and still signed his name. However, the moment he signed his name, Zhang Xiao suddenly felt his wand vibrating rapidly.

He hurriedly took out the wand, and saw that the wand seemed very angry. A dazzling electric light flashed on its surface. In the flash of electric light, invisible threads slowly emerged, and then burned into ashes.

The wand trembled twice and then slowly stopped. The meaning was very clear. What kind of level do you dare to spy on me? Is your net worth over 100,000 Galleons?

Good guy, this wand of mine is actually a bad temper!

He happily put away the wand, now it's good, this contract is just a piece of waste paper to him!

Hagrid was responsible for leading them aboard the fleet of boats crossing the lake. Now, they have boarded the Hogwarts Express, chatting and laughing all the way, watching the countryside outside the window becoming more and more green and tidy. The train passed through Muggle towns one after another. They ate Bibi's all-flavored beans, took off their wizard robes, and put on jackets and jackets. Finally, the train stopped at platform 943 of King's Cross Station.

As soon as Malfoy got out of the car, he immediately left in a luxurious and simple carriage. He only had time to make a gesture of writing a letter to Zhang Xiao.

Lucius and Narcissa stood outside with serious faces. The couple seemed to have received a lot of news about Malfoy's presence in school, and they were a little dissatisfied, but they did not dare to get angry at Zhang Xiao.

He had no choice but to hurriedly perform a fairly standard etiquette and then hurriedly left with Malfoy.

Well, I hope Draco won't get spanked by Lucius this summer. His theory is the opposite of Lucius. Well, Draco still has to be encouraged. Only in this way can he be considered a noble.

It took them a long time to get out of the platform. A wizened old guard stood guard at the ticket gate, and only two or three people were allowed through at a time, so that they wouldn't have a large number of people entering and exiting the solid walls at the same time and attracting the attention of the Muggles.

"Harry, Zhang, and Hermione must come to our house to play this summer," Ron said. "This is also what my parents want."

"Thank you," Harry agreed happily immediately, "I really need something to look forward to."

The Burrow? Zhang Xiao also smiled and nodded. He was also very curious about the cabin in the original book. Of course it would be nice to be a guest.

Several people passed the exit together while laughing.

"He's there, Mom, he's there, look!" It's Ginny, a cute little girl with red hair.

"Harry Potter!" she shrieked. "Look, Mum! I see—"

"Don't yell, Ginny, it's rude to point fingers at others." The chubby Mrs. Weasley looked down at them with a smile.

"Thank you. Ronnie wrote to us and thanked you for taking care of him this year!"

After chatting with Mrs. Weasley for a few words, Zhang Xiao also received an invitation to be a guest at the Burrow, and Zhang Xiao happily agreed.

"Xiaoxiao!"

A familiar voice reached his ears, and Zhang Xiao immediately turned around to look. The three little ones also stretched their heads and looked in that direction. They were equally curious about their friend's parents.

Harry and Hermione both said "Wow!"

I saw Li Qingshu wearing a decent dress, with a beautiful face full of smiles, waving her hands in this direction.

Zhang Chengdao, on the other hand, crossed his arms on his chest and leaned on a chair with a lazy look on a car that looked extremely luxurious. It was the British national car Rolls-Royce!

After waving to a few friends, a sincere and warm smile appeared on Zhang Xiao's face, and he rushed over at a trot.

"dad!"

"mom!"
