Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

It was 5 minutes to three o'clock in the afternoon, and in a villa located 10 minutes' drive from Liverpool University, the hostess was making final preparations in the kitchen for the afternoon tea time that would start in a while.

Looking from the kitchen window, today is a rare sunny and breezy day, the hostess saw her son put the last chair by the round table in the garden, and then hurried to the house .

In less than a minute, the hostess heard her son's voice at the door of the kitchen, "Mom, are the snacks ready?"

"Don't worry, Michael." The hostess smiled and said to the anxious son, "Everything is ready, be careful not to fall."

"No, Mom." Michael said proudly, "I wouldn't fall if I had the ball with me at the same time."

After Michael finished speaking, he picked up the plate with snacks on the cabinet and walked out of the kitchen.

After watching her son leave, the hostess sighed, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse for her son, who aspired to be a football superstar, to go to a school called Hogwarts.

Four months ago, after returning from watching Liverpool v Wimbledon in the Premier League, the son who has always loved football and was outstanding in the school football league, fell in love with him and himself on the pitch from the first moment. The youngest player and youngest goal scorer in the history of the Liverpool club with the same name.

At a later Liverpool club open day, his son got an autographed photo with his idol.

However, one day in July, a soaring owl disrupted the peaceful life of the family.

After some panic, surprise and correspondence with owls, the family finally accepted the fact that this world has magic and that their son is a wizard.

It’s just that the family who still had concerns hadn’t made a final decision about their son’s future until two days before the start of school. Later, they wrote a letter to the headmaster of Hogwarts, hoping that the school would send a teacher to come home Be a guest, let everyone know everything about the wizarding world in an all-round way, and then let the owl who is "on duty" in their garden deliver the letter away.

One morning before school started, the owl delivered a letter that a guest from Hogwarts would visit the Owens on time at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Half a minute before three o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Owen and her son prepared afternoon tea in the garden, and Mr. Owen was already at the door, dressed neatly, as if he was going to negotiate a business worth hundreds of millions of pounds with an important client Then get ready.

When the second hand of Mr. Owen's watch jumped to "x2", the doorbell rang on time.

Mr. Owen took a deep breath to relax himself, and then put on a friendly and confident expression that was necessary when he was about to negotiate with clients in the financial city on the east side of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, and finally opened the door.

After opening the door, Mr. Owen was taken aback, but after years of hard work, he recovered his previous expression in an instant.

When they knew that there was a guest coming today, the family guessed whether the guest who came this afternoon was a wizard in a scruffy robe, or a ghost, a giant, or a panda in Dumbledore and Hogwarts. A magical existence that appeared during tea time.

However, what Mr. Owen didn't expect was that there was a man of yellow race wearing a neat suit outside the door, whose appearance and demeanor were just like those young and successful rich n-generations in the financial city.For a moment, he thought it was a client from work who came to visit him.

"Hello, Mr. Owen." Zhang Xu didn't mind the other party's reaction. What he minded was Professor Flitwick who asked him to run errands instead of him. "I'm a student of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft, Zhang Xu."

Mr. Owen quickly realized that, as a financial

The account manager of the company, he has no lack of experience in dealing with oriental people.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, welcome to come."

After a simple greeting and handshake, Mr. Owen led Zhang Xu to the back garden, followed by a round of greetings with Mrs. Owen and Michael, and then the four of them sat down.

"Michael, I brought you some small gifts." Zhang Xu took out a large box from his suit pocket and handed it to Michael.

Michael, who seemed a little cautious, took the box Zhang Xu handed over. After reading the words on the box clearly, an expression of surprise appeared on his face in an instant.

"Is this the Chocolate Frog?" Michael asked.

The Owens also looked at Zhang Xu curiously.

"That's right, this is the Chocolate Frog." Zhang Xu nodded and replied.

Michael opened the box carefully, and took out a small pentagonal box inside, and opened it nervously.

The next moment, a frog made of chocolate jumped out of the box and landed on the edge of Michael's teacup.

"It's really going to pop out," Michael said excitedly.

"It's amazing," exclaimed Mr. Owen.

"This is a field frog." Mrs. Owen said seriously.

Zhang Xu looked at Mrs. Owen in surprise. He had eaten chocolate frogs for so many years, and it was only now that he knew what kind of frog this frog was.

After seeing Zhang Xu's surprised gaze, Mrs. Owen smiled and said to him, "I am a professor of animal science researching amphibians at the University of Liverpool."

Seeing Zhang Xu nodding to herself, Mrs. Owen thought "So wizards don't know everything", and the nervousness disappeared a lot.

"Pictures" Michael of the comics took out a wizard card from the chocolate frog's box.

"It belongs to Albus Dumbledore." Michael excitedly held up the picture in his hand and showed it to everyone.

After the episode brought by the chocolate frog, everyone began to get into the topic.

"May I ask what position does Mr. Zhang hold at Hogwarts?" Mr. Owen asked first.

Zhang Xu straightened his expression, and then replied: "I am a seventh-year student at Hogwarts Ravenclaw College, and I am also an acting professor of Muggle Studies."

During breakfast this morning, news came from St. Mungo's Hospital that Professor Kerry Dibbaji, who was unfortunately injured in the hostage rescue operation, had not recovered from her injuries, so Professor McGonagall told her to rest well, and then Zhang Xu went back to life. The life of changing homework every night.

"So you will also be teaching while you are in class?" Mrs. Owen then asked.She is also a professor, so she responds faster than others in this regard.

"Yes." Zhang Xu replied, "Because Professor Kerry Dibbaji is ill, I will replace all her teaching tasks in the next year."

The Owens looked at each other, and then nodded to each other invisibly. It seems that Hogwarts didn't just find a cat or a dog to send here.

"It's hard work like this," Mrs. Owen asked.

"Yes." Zhang Xu sighed, "especially when changing homework."

Mrs. Owen nodded in agreement.

"Then the giant panda in the cartoon teaching the students is you?" Michael asked suddenly.

Zhang Xu grinned and nodded.
