Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

The conversation between Zhang Xu and Grindelwald lasted until lunch time. After saying goodbye to the boss, he returned to the castle.

Before dealing with Harry's trio, Zhang Xu still had one very important thing to do.

In Hogwarts, there is such a day every month that the professors of the whole school will gather in the cafeteria to have lunch at lunch time. When the lunch time is over, these professors will leave the cafeteria as quickly as possible Disappeared.

Experienced students know that this day is the day when Hogwarts professors pay their salaries.

Now the income of professors is divided into two parts, one part is the basic salary, and the other part is various allowances.Among them, the basic salary is paid on the last Friday of each month, and the allowance is paid twice in a school year, once in the first half of Christmas Eve, that is, December 12, and once on the day before the end-of-term dinner of this school year .

And today is the day when Hogwarts pays salaries and allowances, so Professor Flitwick, who is in a good mood, will agree to Zhang's use of inferior excuses to ask for a leave.Although Mr. Zhang asked for leave in the morning, he would not ask for leave when he was getting paid.

In the faculty lounge, the professors gathered together, and even Hagrid, who rarely came here, sat on the chair specially prepared for him in the corner.There were a lot of money bags beside Professor McGonagall, and the professors took their own money bags from her in alphabetical order.

The professors were all waiting for their turn, and Zhang was the most relaxed, because he was the last one to come on stage to receive the money.

Since there was a lot of money distributed today, all the professors present except Hagrid cast a Levitation Charm on the money bag when they took it.

In fact, Hogwarts can use Gringotts' relevant bills when distributing money, but this proposal has not been proposed for hundreds of years, perhaps because wizards also have a sense of accomplishment when counting money.

Zhang Xu rubbed Scarlet, who was sitting next to him counting the money, with his shoulder, and said, "I have to take a leave of absence from the afternoon class."

Scarlet put ten stacks of gold coins on the table to count the money, and said without turning his head, "If you have something to do, you can leave now, and I'll take your share for you."

: "Is it a good thing to do to the end, and use it up for me by the way"

ˊˋ: "This is normal."

°Д°: "Normal ghost.

: "Why, you are in a hurry to hand in your salary as soon as you get paid?"

: "If you want to hand it in, your share is indispensable."

After Zhang Xu took his money bag from Professor McGonagall, he asked Professor McGonagall, "Professor, how do you think about the proposal in the letter the day before yesterday?"

Professor McGonagall looked at Zhang Xu and said, "I approve the first proposal, but I still need to think about the second one, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."

Zhang Xu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and then he took out a leaflet and handed it to Professor McGonagall, saying: "Thank you very much, we look forward to your visit on the weekend. I have greeted them, whether you You will get a [-]% discount on everything you buy.”

The last sentence Zhang Xu said to Professor McGonagall was through voice transmission, because the discount for the principal is [-]% off, the dean is [-]% off, and other professors are [-]% off

discount.Everyone knows what's going on, but it's embarrassing to say it out loud.

After distributing a round of leaflets to the professors who had just received their salaries while the iron was hot, Zhang Xu returned to the seat just now and sat down, then handed a leaflet to Scarlett.

Scarlett took the leaflet and looked at it, and suddenly felt overwhelmed by the thunder.

"What the hell are you doing?" Scarlet looked at Zhang Xu, "Are you going to hold a New Year's Fair in Hogsmeade?"

Zhang Xu said helplessly: "That's what those guys think. At the beginning, my plan was to contact the tenants of those empty shops, but many of them refused to rent to us, so they decided to start a new one. Set up a temporary store next to Maud."

"So you've been working on this for the last few nights," Scarlet asked.

"Yes." Zhang Xu replied, "It will open in three days. The materials for the venue are directly rented from London, and the goods brought in by air freighter are unloaded at the stand in Edinburgh. All these have to be transported by rail. To Hogsmeade. The trains to Hogsmeade have hardly stopped in the past two days, and I was busy at the train station last night until almost two o'clock before returning."

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Scarlet said after remembering something, "After the Christmas vacation, I have a teaching assistant here to assist me. When she is familiar with the work, next school year my The seat was given to her. This matter has been passed by McGonagall."

"Who is it?" Zhang Xu asked curiously.

"You will know when the time comes, but there are some things that need your help." Scarlet said.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Scarlet continued, "When you go to Hogsmeade tonight, you must be mentally prepared."

"Ah." Zhang Xu was confused, "What's going to happen tonight?"

He knew that Scarlet had his own information channel, and sometimes he could learn some information that was difficult for him to obtain.

"This matter can be big or small, it depends on how you handle it." After Scarlet finished speaking, he put all the gold coins counted on the table into his handbag, and let Zhang Xu ask no matter what.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to prepare for the afternoon class, and the professors who were waiting for the next class left the faculty lounge and went to the classroom with smiles on their faces.

And the senior students in the castle are imparting experience to the younger students.

Since I just received the money at noon today, the professors were in a good mood in the afternoon.So if some students perform well later, the professors will add a little more college points than usual.

If the student's mistakes in class are not too serious, the professors will not deduct points, but just let it go after a few sentences.

The students in the lower grades are taught humbly, and no one will let go of such a good opportunity.

When the students were all entering the classroom to prepare for class, Zhang Xu walked through a long unmanned corridor and came to an ancient gate.

There are some simple patterns carved on the wooden door, and thick iron bars are wrapped around the wooden door, and the gaps and iron bars of these patterns have been covered with dust, which makes people know that this wooden door has many It has not been opened for years.

Zhang Xu pushed open the door with all his strength, and because it hadn't been opened for many years, the door hinge made a piercing scream.

Behind the gate is a staircase leading underground.
