Chapter 89 The Invitation to the Burrow and the Bad-Temper Wand (End)

"Why didn't you save him?"

Zhang Xiao finally couldn't help asking the question that was stuck in his throat.

Dumbledore's azure eyes looked at him through the lens. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that there seemed to be a reflection of tears in his eyes.

"Zhang, I'm not omnipotent. There are times when I can't do anything. There is only one way to separate them, and that is to kill Quirrell."

Zhang Xiao nodded silently, bowed slightly and left.

There is no need to say the rest. He is still the same Dumbledore. After finding that he couldn't save Quirrell, he immediately played his surplus value.

Great and cruel.

Sometimes, giving people a 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 out the window, and whispered in a voice that was almost whispering:

"Quirinus Quirrell, I always remember him, that clever 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 action was sought after unprecedentedly.

Malfoy enjoyed it very much. He finally felt like a real noble. Wherever he went, he could get the awe-inspiring eyes of the little wizards. They surrounded Malfoy, eager to know some "inside stories" or get first-hand information as a topic of conversation.

At this time, Malfoy would slightly raise his head, pretend to be impatient, and finally "reluctantly" reveal a sentence or two in everyone's pursuit.

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

Of course, the soul of the Dark Lord is hidden from it. This is a gag order issued by Dumbledore. The headmaster seems to have a particularly deep research on confidentiality. Even if Malfoy wants to say it, he can't say it.

Any word can cause the little wizards to exclaim. In the story, Malfoy himself and Zhang Xiao occupy almost all the roles. As for Potter, Weasley, and Granger, aren't they just three characters who applaud and cheer for them?

If a little wizard points out the doubts:

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

Malfoy will blush and mutter something difficult to understand in anger, such as artistic exaggeration and story enhancement.

Compared with Malfoy's clever splitting of the story into chapters and telling it one by one to whet the appetite of the young wizards.

Ron was much rougher. He wanted to cast a megaphone spell on himself. As long as someone asked, he would talk about the whole story, including his important role.

In particular, the story of "Malfoy's defeat of the three-headed dog and Weasley's retreat" was told over and over again until everyone lost interest and turned to the next plot.

"Weasley bravely fought the troll, and Malfoy's life was hanging by a thread."

Harry was naturally the main character in the story. The young wizards could not get through Madam Pomfrey's defense, so they could only express their excitement and admiration through gifts, which was almost as bad as Zhang Xiao's last hospitalization.

As Zhang Xiao, who was also the most concerned, he was not interested in these things at all, just like Hermione, and even regarded them as a kind of trouble, so the two agreed to find a more secluded place to exchange learning experiences.

As the two recognized male and female masters of Hogwarts, when the transcripts were hung on the bulletin board, the full marks of the two subjects made everyone bow their heads in shame.

Moreover, both of them had studied in Muggle schools, and this experience made them have similar methods of summarization.

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

She was very good at breaking down the difficulties, and then grasping the key points and overcoming the difficulties in one fell swoop. Except for some lack of associative ability and abstract thinking, she can be said to be a talent for learning.

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

Happy times are always short, and the end of the semester came in the blink of an eye.

The hall was decorated with blue and bronze, representing Ravenclaw, because of the internal fighting in Slytherin and Snape's persistent deduction of points from Gryffindor during this school year.

Although Zhang Xiao's excellent performance earned Slytherin a lot of points, especially the extra 40 points in the exam, Slytherin could only rank third because of the big pit (owing 250 points).

In the end, Ravenclaw finally won the house cup championship they dreamed of. On the wall behind the guest of honor, there was a huge banner with a Ravenclaw bronze eagle.

This made the little eagles smile with unprecedented brightness. Zhang Xiao could only mourn for them in his heart. When Dumbledore came, he would probably do something.

If possible, he would rather let the badgers win the college cup. How about a little py next semester and let the badgers win the cup?

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

The auditorium was suddenly silent, and then suddenly everyone started talking loudly again.

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

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

What a wonderful year it has been!

Your little brains must be richer than in the past... There is a whole summer vacation waiting for you.

You can digest those things before the next semester starts and make room for your brain.

"Now, as far as I know, we must first hold the award ceremony for the college cup. The specific scores of each college are as follows:

Fourth place, Gryffindor, 312 points;

Third place, Slytherin, 362 points;

Second place, Hufflepuff, 426 points;

First place, Ravenclaw, 470 points. "

A thunderous cheer and stamping sound broke out at the Ravenclaw table.

"Yes, yes, it's a good performance." Dumbledore said, "However, several recent events must also be taken into account. "

The hall became very quiet, and most of the little eagles' faces suddenly changed. Obviously, the smart Ravenclaws have connected the recent events together.

If I guessed correctly, the following will be the final bonus points?

Then we.

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

"I still have the last few points to distribute. Let me see. Oh, right..

"First item - Mr. Ron Weasley, Miss Hermione Granger, and Mr. Draco Malfoy"

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

Hermione buried her face in her arms;

Malfoy politely bowed slightly to the podium, and deliberately straightened the Blue Luan Society badge on his chest.

"There are many kinds of courage," Dumbledore smiled. "To face danger bravely for the persistence in one's heart requires far more fearlessness than ordinary people. I think you probably understand something.

In the difficult progress, the three gentlemen and ladies, with their wisdom and calmness, broke through one difficulty after another and finally prevented the tragedy from happening.

For this, I will reward them with 50 points each!"

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

Percy could be heard telling the other prefects loudly: "It's my brother, you know!

My youngest brother! It was with him that I passed the most difficult three-headed dog!!"

And the Slytherins were another scene. They were also very excited, but they tried to remain restrained, and instead extended their hands gracefully, clapping warmly but not fiercely.

Everyone finally calmed down again.

"The second item - Harry Potter..." Dumbledore said.

The hall suddenly became extremely quiet. "..He showed great courage and bravery. It was his courage that finally stopped Quirrell from stealing the Philosopher's Stone. For this, I will reward Gryffindor College with 60 points."

The Gryffindor students around them were ecstatic and jumped up and down at the dining table - they rose a full 160 points!

Zhang Xiao's heart twitched suddenly. In fact, Quirrell had never hurt anyone from beginning to end. 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, from a rational point of view, this is the best way to deal with it.

And he can even risk his life for his plan. The difference between rushing for me and rushing with me is impeccable.

At that time, I should have performed a serious ritual for Quirrell. Although he has no soul, at least someone should pay tribute to him, right?

The noise around was deafening. Those students who were still able to calculate the scores in their heads while shouting their voices hoarse knew that Gryffindor now had 472 points - surpassing Ravenclaw! They were the champions!

Dumbledore raised his hand. The hall gradually became quiet again.

"Ms. Ravenclaw once said that extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth," Dumbledore smiled, "There is a little wizard who used his wisdom to achieve an outstanding performance far beyond ordinary people.

I think you already know who I am talking about."

Zhang Xiao felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him in an instant, as if he was under a spotlight, which made him twist his body unconsciously.

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

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

It's okay to operate in secret, but don't operate on me. If Gryffindor holds the cup like this, will I still lead the team?

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

"I want to reward Mr. Xiao Zhang 60 points! "

Zhang Xiao then picked up the badge again, pretending that he just didn't bring it right, so it was a tie. It was barely acceptable.

The Slytherin students finally couldn't help it, they cheered and clapped their hands vigorously.

The cheers at the Gryffindor table were equally loud, they celebrated their victory enthusiastically, only the little eagles were pale, biting their lips and sitting at their long tables in a daze.

Professor Flitwick had obviously expected it, 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 at all, they held forks and soup spoons, and many of them could even use chopsticks. They were not interested in who won the house cup, they just wanted to start the meal quickly.

"This means," Dumbledore had to shout loudly to cover the thunderous cheers and applause, "we need to make some small changes to the decoration here. "

He clapped his hands, and immediately, the blue hanging ribbons turned into bright red and green, and the bronze ones turned into gold and silver;

The huge Ravenclaw eagle disappeared, replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion and a Slytherin snake spitting out its tongue and circling.

The snake and the lion were hung on both sides of the wall, as if they were looking at each other.

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

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

It seemed that all of a sudden, their closets were empty, and their things were packed into suitcases.

Zhang Xiao frowned as he looked at the notice in his hand. It was a notice letter, and the content on it was probably a warning that they were not allowed to use magic during the holidays.

There was a place to sign at the end. In the professor's words, this was a signature to show that one had known the content.

What do you mean by knowing and signing? It's obviously a contract! There will be some annoying traces after signing, right?

He curled his lips and signed his name anyway. However, at the moment of signing his name, Zhang Xiao suddenly felt his wand vibrating rapidly.

He hurriedly took out his wand, and saw that the wand seemed to be very Often angry, its surface flashed dazzling lightning, and in the flashing lightning, invisible threads slowly emerged and then burned to ashes.

The wand shook twice and slowly stopped. The meaning was very clear, what level is it, dare to spy on me? Is your net worth over 100,000 Galleons?

Good guy, my wand is still a hot-tempered one!

Happily put the wand away, this contract is just a piece of waste paper to me!

Hagrid was responsible for leading them to board the fleet across the lake. Now, they have boarded the Hogwarts Express, chatting and laughing all the way, watching the countryside outside the window become more and more green and more The train passed through Muggle towns, they ate Beebe's every-flavor beans, took off their wizard robes, put on jackets and short tops; finally, the train stopped at Platform 943 of King's Cross Station.

As soon as Malfoy got off the train, he immediately sat in a carriage that looked luxurious and simple. He only had time to make a letter-writing gesture with Zhang Xiao.

Lucius and Narcissa stood outside with stern faces. The couple seemed to have received a lot of news about Malfoy at school. They were a little dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to get angry with Zhang Xiao.

They had to hurriedly perform a fairly standard etiquette and hurriedly left with Malfoy.

Uh, I hope to be dragged Brother, don't let Lucius spank you this summer. His theory is simply the opposite of Lucius. Well, we still have to encourage Draco. Only in this way can he be considered a noble.

It took them a long time to walk out of the platform. A shriveled old guard was guarding the ticket gate, allowing only two or three people to pass through at a time, so that they would not have a large group of people entering and exiting the solid wall at the same time and attract 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 immediately agreed happily, "I really need something to look forward to."

The Burrow? Zhang Xiao also smiled and nodded. He was also very curious about the cottage in the original book. It would be nice to visit it.

Several people laughed and passed the exit together.

"There he is, Mom, there he is, look!" It was Ginny, a cute little girl with red hair.

"Harry Potter!" She screamed, "Look, Mom! I saw it--"

"Don't shout, Ginny. It's rude to point fingers at others." The plump Mrs. Weasley looked down at them with a smile.

"Thank you, Ronnie has written to us. Thank you for taking care of him this year!"

After chatting with Mrs. Weasley for a few words, Zhang Xiao happily accepted the invitation to visit the Burrow.

"Xiaoxiao!"

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

Harry and Hermione exclaimed "Wow" together.

Li Qingshu was wearing a decent dress, with a smile on her beautiful face, waving at this side.

And Zhang Chengdao crossed his arms in front of his chest, leaning lazily on a car that looked extremely extravagant, which was the British national car Rolls-Royce!

After waving to a few friends, Zhang Xiao showed a sincere and warm smile on his face and ran over.

"Dad!"

"Mom!"
