Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 581 The Punishment in the Dungeon



The history of the Hogwarts Castle Dungeon dates back to when the castle was built.

Since Dumbledore became the headmaster, the castle dungeon has been basically abandoned.Only Filch would arrange for the house-elf to come and clean the place occasionally, and his greatest wish was to lock up disobedient students here before retiring.

Today, Filch's wish finally came true.When Zhang Xu was halfway down the stairs, he could hear Filch's loud laughter.

"Okay, Filch, you're smiling so happily, I thought Mrs. Pince had agreed to your marriage proposal."

Zhang Xu's words made Filch's laughter stop abruptly, and then this guy was actually shy

"She has already agreed." Filch said with some coyness.

Zhang Xu congratulated, and then immediately found an excuse to let Filch, who had completely ruined his character, leave quickly.

Then Zhang Xu handed a piece of parchment to Moody who was sitting beside him. After carefully reading the words written by Professor McGonagall on the parchment several times with his two eyes, Moody said: "I'm waiting outside the gate." Then he stood up and left.

After Moody and Filch left the dungeon, Zhang Xu pulled the chair that Moody was sitting on just now, threw a cooling spell on the chair and sat on it.

There is only one corridor leading to the bottom of the dungeon, and the cells are arranged on both sides of the corridor.

Each cell is not big, only about two meters in length and width. If Yao is inside, he can only lie down on the diagonal.

However, the facilities in the cell have obviously improved now. Although Professor McGonagall was furious, he still provided Harry and Ginny with a bed in the cell and a set of desks and chairs for them to copy the school rules. and stationery candles.

In the aisle of the dungeon, only the candlesticks on the doorways of the first two rows of rooms were lit with candles, and the faint candle light could not reach the end of the aisle. Zhang Xu, who was sitting at the end of the entrance, was staring at the dark and deep depths of the dungeon. The feeling of the abyss.

Harry and Ron were locked in the two cells on the left, and Ginny and Hermione were locked opposite them.

After Moody left, Harry put down the quill in his hand, just about to say something to Zhang Xu.Unexpectedly, Zhang Xu waved to him and said, "You are busy with your work, don't pay attention to me."

Harry shook off his sore hand, then picked up the quill and continued to fight against the school rules.

According to Professor McGonagall's order, they must copy the school rules every day during the confinement days, and they can only eat after copying.So in the silent dungeon, in addition to the rustling sound of the quill rubbing against the parchment, there was also the grunting sound from the stomach from time to time.

"More than"

After Zhang Xu shouted into the air, Dobby wearing a vest appeared in front of him.

"Mr. Zhang, what can Dobby do for you?"

Zhang Xu asked, "If Harry wants you to take him out"

"No!" Dobby suddenly shouted loudly, "McGonagall and Dobby said that Mr. Potter is going to sneak out to find the Dark Lord to die, and Dobby won't allow this to happen."

In the dungeon surrounded by stones, Dobby's voice was louder than ever.

Zhang Xu glanced at Harry's cell, and found that he stopped with a dead face. It seemed that he had thought about this possibility.

Then Zhang Xu gave Dobby a few words in a low voice, and Dobby left.A few minutes later, Dobby came back with a couple of house-elves and a whole bunch of things.

A barbecue grill with a strong charcoal fire, a barbecue skewer, a plate of mutton and corresponding seasonings, plus a fat chicken with a round face in a cage.

The air in the dungeon is very fresh, which means that the ventilation here is well done, so Zhang is not afraid of grilling here and ushering in the finale ahead of schedule.And he also took precautionary measures. He imitated the practice of miners in the past who brought birds to the bottom of the mine to detect poisonous and harmful gases, and used a round-faced fat chicken as a detector.

Zhang Xu was very angry today, but he couldn't vent his anger in a rude way.But this is not a problem for him, after learning that the four of them have not eaten until now, he has a lot of ways to torture these four guys.

On the charcoal fire, a string of roasted fat sheep is sizzling with oil, and a handful of cumin powder

Sprinkle it on top, the gray wolf will be silent when it smells it, and the red wolf will cry when it smells it, and immediately fills every corner of the dungeon.

Zhang Xu turned a deaf ear to the hungry grunts in the dungeon, and muttered to himself while turning the mutton skewers upside down.

"Young people nowadays, their wings are so hard that they can fly by themselves."

"Oh, you are fearless lions, not us. It should be said that your claws are hardened, and you dare to hunt by yourself."

"You haven't seen the animal world, have you? On the African savannah, even the wildebeest, which is the lion's food, sometimes kicks the lion's mandible."

"Buy Peeves, let him open the windows and doors of the entire castle, and let a large number of students in the castle catch a cold. Then eat Fred and George's skipping candy, pretend to have a bad cold and live in the school doctor's office. Then take me Confirm whether the secret passage can be passed through, so as to decide which secret passage to go out."

"Hiss, it's a little hot."

"If Professor McGonagall hadn't seen the clue early on, Peeves wouldn't be the guy who would play a prank and hide, and it happened that only the three of you were seriously ill among all the students, and she wouldn't let Nick put his head in the school infirmary Watching you from the corner."

"It's getting cold"

"You really are plotting something."

"Well, today's mutton is so tender"

"In fact, she knew you as soon as you entered the secret passage, and then she was waiting for you to come out at the Pig's Head Bar."

“The best kebab is always the next one”

"If she hadn't been prepared, maybe she really let you run out."

"Do you know how much trouble you have caused everyone?"

"Not to mention the textbooks that were frozen to death and the medicine consumed by the school doctor's office, you can't escape this money."

"Do you know how much damage will be caused to the whole of Britain and even the whole world if you make a mistake?"

"Although my point is that history is not determined by a few people, I do not deny that the actions of a few people will make history usher in light earlier, and it will also make history sink into longer darkness."

"Do you think you're the only ones trying to save Mrs. Weasley?"

"Do you know how much the Minister of Magic sacrificed for this?"

"Moreover, not only the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and the British government, but also your Aunt Adams, the bald old man and one of Charlie's leaders, they are all working hard on this matter where you can't see it."

"Hey, I really thought that I was invincible after I made some achievements. There is no source of information, and no logistical support. What do you use to find Mrs. Weasley?"

"With that bottle of Polyjuice Potion on you, Hermione"

"You thought that if you were captured by Death Eaters after you became Harry, you would be sure that you would be locked up with Mrs. Weasley, and then you would have the opportunity to send a signal outside"

"Maybe the Death Eaters will use you as bait to fish."

While eating the delicious mutton skewers, Zhang Xu mentally bombarded the four people in the dungeon.

And Harry, the four of them had been scolded by Professor McGonagall, Lupine, Black, and Moody long ago, and they couldn't refute Zhang Xu's words, so they could only listen quietly.

However, what Zhang Xu went too far was that while attacking them mentally, he also attacked them physically.

People had to breathe, but the aroma of roasted lamb entered their nostrils as soon as they breathed in, making their stomachs more and more hungry.

The stomach of rebellion and Zhang Xu's mental attack slowed down their speed of copying the school rules.

After Zhang Xu's torment, the time for the few of them to eat had to be greatly delayed.

At this time, there were more sobs from the young girl in the cell.

Mr. Zhang tossed about in the dungeon for a long time. It was not until 10 minutes before today's Muggle Studies class that he finished all the kebabs, told the house-elf to pack up his things, clapped his hands and left.

When leaving the dungeon, Zhang Xu said to Moody who was standing outside the dungeon watching the whole process with his magic eyes: "You better go down and take a look, otherwise I'm afraid they will eat the parchment as dinner."
