Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 7 Hogwarts new hidden BOSS?



In fact, Zhang Xu really wanted to ask Professor McGonagall a question, what would happen if uranium 235 was transformed into barium and krypton using the transfiguration technique.However, considering whether Professor McGonagall knows about uranium, barium and krypton, as well as his attempt to molest Professor McGonagall with a small dried fish and a cat teaser not long ago, he is still in an embarrassing state, so he had to give up the idea of ​​asking Professor McGonagall for advice. .Later, Zhang Xu wrote to Mr. Zhao for advice on this idea, and Mr. Zhao's reply was just two sentences: Don't seek death.If you want to find death, you can find it in the UK.

Since Zhang Xu beat up Peeves and turned into a ghost again, Filch, the administrator of Hogwarts, showed great kindness to Zhang Xu.A person like Zhang Xu, who has been educated as a successor to communism for two lifetimes, and who is soft on taking three good students every year in this life, will naturally not be kicked in the head by a troll to deliberately violate school rules, so there is a relationship between him and Filch. There is no contradiction.

In addition, Zhang Xu likes to tease cats, Mrs. Norris has become very affectionate with Zhang Xu under Zhang Xu's small fish attack.

One day after dinner, Zhang Xu, who was returning to the common room, saw Mrs. Norris lying on her stomach in the corridor.After teasing the cat with a few dried fish, Zhang Xu picked up the cat and sent it back to Filch's office.

After knocking on the door and entering the office, Zhang Xu saw Filch sitting in front of the desk, staring at a quill on the desk.

Now Zhang Xu has a headache when he sees a quill pen. Zhang Xu said that writing with this pen is simply torture.Fortunately, before Zhang Xu came to the UK, Zhang Xu's father gave Zhang Xu a Hero brand pen awarded to him by the army. Otherwise, he would have to entrust a trustee to buy a few boxes of water-based pens.

In addition, Xu is not used to the parchment paper used for homework. Fortunately, I have prepared a box of A4 paper in advance in the treasure bag, which is enough for daily use.

"Mr. Filch, what are you looking at?" Zhang Xu asked while putting down the cat.

"Good evening, dear Zhang," Filch replied. "I suspect this quill is a magical item."

Zhang Xu thought for a while, then took out a fist-sized crystal ball and put it on the table, and pressed the quill under the crystal ball.

This crystal ball has the same function as the jade jade that Zhang Xu's grandfather used to test Zhang Xu's magic power. It is used to test the magic power of people and objects, as long as it touches the target to be tested.

The reason why it was made into a crystal ball was because the manufacturer planned to open up the European and American markets, and produced a batch of products for Zhang Xu to bring over for promotion.

Zhang Xu controlled his magic power when he took out the crystal ball, so the crystal ball didn't shine.

When the crystal ball was placed on the quill, a faint white light spot appeared in the crystal ball, and then the light spots formed a slowly rotating small white light ball.

"There is no doubt that this quill is a magic item." Zhang Xu explained to Filch, "When the crystal ball touches the item, it will automatically check whether it has magical fluctuations. The light in the crystal ball The brightness represents the amount of magic power contained in the item, and the speed at which the light ball rotates represents the flow speed of the magic power. You must know that the speed of the flow of magic power is directly proportional to the power of the spell contained in the magic item. And the crystal ball also has a curse The alarm function, if the magic item contains a curse, the crystal ball will emit a red light, and an alarm sound and vibration will be issued."

After listening to Zhang Xu's introduction, Filch's eyes staring at the crystal ball almost shone.

"I can give you this crystal ball."

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, Filch suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Xu in surprise.

"Of course, you can also confiscate it from me, as long as you don't deduct points from Ravenclaw." Zhang Xu joked to Filch.

When sending samples for promotion, it is important to pay attention to who you send the samples to.If you give the crystal ball to other students, the result is 3 minutes of heat.If given to the professor, the ending of the crystal ball is to be shelved.If it was given to Dumb Filch, then he would definitely take the crystal ball around to track down the students' contraband, so that the students in the whole school would know about the crystal ball, and the time would last until Filch retired.

"No, of course it won't be confiscated." Filch shouted loudly, "I will explain it to Professor Dumbledore, and the school will pay for it."

"As you wish, Mr. Filch." Zhang Xu replied.

After receiving Zhang Xu's reply, Filch reached out and picked up the crystal ball on the table.

Suddenly, the crystal ball in Filch's hand emitted a blinding white light, causing Filch to let go of his hand in fright and drop the crystal ball to the ground.

Fortunately, the crystal ball has a drop-resistant and reinforced design when it is produced, otherwise it will definitely break.

Zhang Xu looked at Filch with a straight face. Just now, the crystal ball clearly detected that Filch's magic power could be said to be on the verge of "powerful".

"In the novels of his previous life, Filch was a squib who didn't know magic, but now he is obviously a powerful wizard. But in this period of time, no one has ever heard of Filch using magic. Could it be that he is hiding his true strength? It makes sense for him to hide his strength. It doesn’t make sense for Dumbledore to let a squib manage discipline in the school. Could it be that he is a dark chess piece of Dumbledore?

Maybe because of his early experiences, such as bullying young people and being poor, Filch hid his strength and came to Hogwarts to become a sweeping monk, so will he be silenced?"

In just a few breaths, Zhang Xu made up the outline of a novel with three or four million words on the water.

"Zhang, this crystal ball was just now," Filch asked Zhang Xu in surprise, staring at the crystal ball on the ground.

"Mr. Filch, I didn't expect you to be such a powerful wizard." Zhang Xu said while picking up the crystal ball on the ground, and then injected a magic power of the average level of ordinary first-year freshmen into the crystal ball.

Handing the crystal ball to Filch, which is about the brightness of the smartphone screen in the future, Zhang Xu said, "Look, your magic power is much stronger than mine."

Filch stretched out his trembling hands to take the crystal ball, and the crystal ball emitted a dazzling light again.

"But Zhang, you have to know me. You may have heard of me. I'm actually a squib." Filch said nervously and incoherently.

Hearing that Filch didn't seem like a lie, Zhang Xu thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a possibility.So Zhang Xu took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on his face, and then carefully observed the glowing crystal ball in Filch's hand.

Filch looked nervously at Zhang Xu who was carefully observing the crystal ball, and he didn't dare to vent his breath for fear of disturbing Zhang Xu.

Soon, Zhang Xu raised his head and handed the sunglasses to Filch, asking him to first observe the light spots inside the crystal ball when he was holding it in his hand, and then compare the light spots when the crystal ball was inspecting other Rubik's Cube items.

Not long after, Filch, who had completed Zhang Xu's order, regained his composure and sat in front of the table again.

"When it's in my hand, the light spot doesn't move. But when checking the magic item and when it's in your hand, the light spot is spinning." Filch said to Zhang Xu, "Zhang, that's why I can't use magic. the reason?"

"For example, magic power is like water. Casting magic means that magic power flows out like water. And your current magic power is like ice cubes, you can't mobilize it. If the external stimulus is not enough, it's like a hammer can't smash it. There is no way to cast magic.” Zhang Xu said, “The reason for this situation is usually caused by violent riots in magic power. And you said that you have been unable to use magic since you were a child. It was caused by being too intense during the first magical riot when I was a child."

"Is there a solution?" Filch asked nervously.

"There is an idea to solve the problem, but we need the help of Professor Dumbledore." Zhang Xu said.

In Zhang Xu's view, Filch's eccentric character is the result of long-term discrimination against Squibs in the wizarding world.

In wizarding circles, wizards regard Squibs as the worst form of disability.In the wizarding world, it is not a big problem for a wizard to be short-handed or even mentally ill, but a person without magic power is the bottom end of the chain of contempt for wizards.

In the world of wizards who believe in "dragon begets dragon and phoenix begets phoenix" and has the highest blood, the powerful genes of wizards make the descendants of wizards basically all wizards.And when a wizard's descendant is a person at the bottom of the chain of contempt, then the wizarding world will think that this wizard is either forgiven, or is questioning his bloodline.The latter is the greatest insult to traditional wizards.

Filch, who grew up in such an environment, was bound to be discriminated against from all sides, and the long-term discrimination, his envy of wizards and his annoyance towards himself led to his psychological distortion.When the mentally twisted man gains certain power in Hogwarts, he will inevitably redouble his revenge on the little wizards who represent the wizarding group that discriminated against him in the past.

The freshmen who have just entered school are in the worst stage of being a child, and they are naturally rebellious against various rules and regulations.Therefore, the conflict between Xinsheng and Filch is inevitable.With the intensification of the struggle between the two sides without a trace of compromise over the years, coupled with the word of mouth and fermentation of students' bad comments on Filch for many years, opposing Filch has become politically correct among Hogwarts students, and Filch Qi also intensified his struggle with the students.The prefects and the president of the student union who are also the managers of order may understand this, but as members of the student class, it is impossible for them to stand on the opposite side of the majority of students.

But if you think about it carefully, it is a good choice for a group of brats with extraordinary powers in Hogwarts to have a villain to manage them.Presumably Dumbledore and the Hogwarts school board are on board with this.The clue can be seen from the fact that the little Malfoy who kept saying "My dad is Malfoy" was thrown into the Forbidden Forest by Filch, and the old Malfoy did not take any action against Filch.

After Zhang Xu and Filch got acquainted, Zhang Xu never discriminated against Filch at all.From daily conversations to even a look and expression, Zhang Xu not only did not discriminate at all, but even gave Filch respect as a school administrator.In the past, Dumbledore seemed to be the only one who treated Filch like this in school, so Filch was devoted to Dumbledore.The other professors don't know how Filch is because this chapter is written by the author on the bullet train and it is difficult to read the information. However, Hagrid, who has a long body and a beard but has no brains, may be able to get a glimpse of Filch's attitude.

It's serious to say that Filch "death to a confidant" to Zhang Xu, but it can still be done if both sides can treat others with sincerity.
