Chapter 107 Heir of the Zhang Family

After hanging out for three or four hours, the girls were getting a little tired, so Astoria suggested going back to the tent to rest.

Just then, a large group of teenage boys who had never been seen before passed by and attracted everyone's attention. Astoria asked curiously: "Who are they?"

They all come from pure-blood families, and naturally they have heard of the names of the top 11 magic schools in the world. However, this does not mean that each of them can tell the origin of foreign students from their appearance.

"They are from Beauxbatons," Schelling whispered. "It is one of the top 11 schools in the world, not far from us in France. They have the Beauxbatons school badge on their robes. I am in I saw it in the "European Magical Education Assessment" - two golden crossed wands, with three stars emerging from each wand."

"Is Beauxbatons great?" Astoria asked.

"Well, it's quite impressive..." Xie Lin remembered an interesting thing, "You must have heard from your parents that there was a competition called the 'Triwizard Tournament' a few centuries ago, which was organized by three schools of magic. The schools take turns hosting the competition every five years. Historically, Hogwarts has won the championship 63 times, while Beauxbatons has won 62 times, which gives a glimpse of their strength.”

Looking at the reactions of several girls, it was obvious that they did not know that the Triwizard Tournament was about to be restarted.

Xie Lin was a little surprised, but then felt relieved. The Greengrass family did not have much desire for power, and it was understandable that their family was not too keen on setting up an intelligence network in the Ministry of Magic.

This was unlike the Malfoy family. As early as the beginning of the summer vacation, Lucius had already mentioned the Triwizard Tournament to himself and Draco.

However, since Lucius didn't know the details, Draco didn't know that this year's Quidditch would be canceled. He thought it was just a one-day game similar to "Merlin's Test".

"The other magic school is Durmstrang, which is located on a secret island somewhere in Northern Europe. They only admit pure-blood students, and their attitude towards black magic is relatively permissive..."

"I know this school," Daphne said. "It is said that Grindelwald is a student of that school."

"Yes," Schelling nodded, "but even Durmstrang couldn't stand Grindelwald's dark magic experiments in the end, so he fired him."

"There is also a school in North America called Ilvermorny. It is located in Mount Greylock in the western United States. It has a deep connection with Hogwarts. It was founded by one of the descendants of Slytherin. Their magic is integrated with the local He is very good at herbal medicine and potions, and has performed extremely well in the 'Wizard Inter-School Potions Championship' that magic schools around the world participate in."

"There is also a magic school in Brazil, South America, called Castello Busch. It once had an exchange program with Hogwarts!"

"Uganda in Africa has the largest number of magic schools in the world. They are good at wandless spellcasting and transfiguration. They can be seen at every International Animagus Symposium."

"The rest, there is one in Japan, one in Russia, and one in..." (Author: There are three remaining, waiting for Rowling's update, the author is too lazy to compile it himself)

This group of teenagers obviously came to the UK with a tour group organized by the school to watch this Quidditch World Cup.

Seeing students from foreign magic schools, Xie Lin had an idea. Could there be a group coming from Japan's Mahotokuro Magic Institute?

Thinking of this, Xie Lin asked the three girls to go back first. He also wanted to try his luck at the Asian camp to see if he could meet his pen pal. So Xie Lin was temporarily separated from them.

When we arrived at the Asian camp area, there were not many tents inside. The distance between tents was relatively loose and not so dense. This is because the sport of Quidditch is not popular in Asia. Asian wizards prefer flying on magic carpets rather than broomsticks.

He first met an unexpected person - the transformation master Zhang He.

Zhang He and he had communicated frequently in the past semester about transfiguration. Xie Lin received his guidance and had a deeper understanding of transfiguration, so he was very grateful to him. Schelling had seen his own photo in Transfiguration Today, so he recognized him at a glance.

Xie Lin knew that in Eastern culture, seniority etiquette is very important, so he did not dare to be rude at all. He stepped forward and saluted.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. I am the Malfoy who often corresponds with you. Thank you very much for your guidance."

Zhang He was a little surprised, but he quickly recognized Xie Lin, "Oh, it's you! Good boy, there's no need to be so polite. Just call me Grandpa Zhang." Zhang He twisted his long hair Beard, "You are indeed a talented person. I am so envious of that old guy Dumbledore for having such an outstanding disciple as you."

"Grandpa Zhang, you are very grateful." Xie Lin said modestly, "Xie Lin is just a little lucky and has received guidance from many powerful people, such as you, Grandpa Zhang."

"Haha, you really know how to talk," Zhang He said with a smile.

"Grandpa Zhang, do you also like Quidditch? You have come all the way here." Xie Lin asked. He always thought that Quidditch was not very popular in Asia.

"I feel pretty good about Quidditch. It's just a coincidence that I came here," Zhang He said. "I'm mainly here to visit my relatives."

"Visiting relatives?" Xie Lin was a little surprised, "Grandpa Zhang, do you have any relatives in the UK?"

"Haha, speaking of my relatives, you may also know them!" Zhang He fell into deep thought, and then slowly said: "My brother and I had ideological differences due to some things in the family. He In a rage, he ran away from home and never came back." There was a subtle tremor in Zhang He's voice.

"It wasn't until a long, long time later, after he passed away, that I found out that he had emigrated to the UK - he didn't even want to let me know before he died. It shows how much he hated me and resented me... ..." Although Zhang He's eyes were expressionless, he still couldn't hide the sadness deep in his eyes.

"Grandpa Zhang..."

"It's a joke, Xie Lin," Zhang He sighed, "I want to say that if time could go over again, I would definitely change my original decision. Nothing can compare to true family love. "

Xie Lin didn't know why, but his heart felt as if it had been hit hard by a big hammer, and it squeezed tightly. Draco's face flashed through his mind inadvertently.

"No, although Draco and I have different philosophies, we are still doing it for the family. It's impossible...impossible..." Xie Lin forced himself to comfort himself and expel these annoying distracting thoughts from his mind.

"My brother married a girl in England and settled down, and he had his own child, my nephew. Later, my nephew also got married and had a daughter. You might know her! Her name is Zhang Qiu , also goes to Hogwarts, only one grade older than you."

ah! It’s Zhang Qiu!

Xie Lin and Zhang Qiu couldn't be said to be very familiar, but they knew each other anyway. Zhang Qiu once attended the Patronus Charm exchange meeting he organized with her friends. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qiu’s background is so big!

Zhang He's status in the field of transfiguration in Asia is equivalent to Professor McGonagall's status in Europe. They are both the top experts in the field of transfiguration. Both of them are honorary consultants in the International Animagus Symposium.

At this time, Zhang Qiu walked out of the tent. When she saw Xie Lin, her eyes lit up. She smiled sweetly and walked over, "Hey, Xie Lin, why are you here?"

"I had nothing to do, wandering around, but I didn't expect to meet Mr. Zhang here." Xie Lin answered honestly.

"Ah! Do you know my uncle?" Zhang Qiu was very surprised. It is true that Schelling's name spread throughout Great Britain, and even nearby European countries must have heard of it, but it would be an exaggeration to say that it spread to the distant East.

"Haha, Xie Lin and I are pen pals, and we often exchange transfiguration techniques through letters." Zhang He looked at Zhang Qiu lovingly and said. Zhang He himself had no children, so he treated Zhang Qiu as his own, which also contained some guilt for his younger brother.

"Xie Lin, are you alone?!" Qiu hesitated for a while, then said with a red face, "Would you like to come in and sit in our tent for a while? I want to ask you how to use the Patronus Charm. This Is there any trick in it? No matter how hard I try, I can only release the light mist."

Zhang Qiu is indeed beautiful, no wonder a slow-responsive guy like Harry would be moved. However, Xie Lin already had many girls around him, and he had no intention of making his emotional world more complicated.

He agreed to Qiu's invitation, but only because he wanted to repay Zhang He for his guidance.

Xie Lin did not stay in the tent for too long. He explained the experience of the Patronus Charm again, and then released a happy spell on Qiu.

"This... is a happy spell?" Qiu felt her heart was sweet, and scenes of happy memories appeared in her mind, without even noticing the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously.

"Yes, this is my improved Happy Charm. It can help learn the Patronus Charm and even increase the power of the Patronus Charm. How do you feel now?" Xie Lin asked with concern.

"I feel... so relaxed, as if all my worries are gone, and then... so happy, as if I am the luckiest girl in the world..." Qiu closed her eyes, indulging in the emotion of the moment, whispered.

"Okay, now freeze the picture in your mind at your happiest moment, and then say it out loud to call for protection."

"Calling the Guardian!" Qiu's wand burst out with intense light, and suddenly released a swan guardian!

"It's amazing!" Zhang He's eyes flashed, "You actually created a new happy spell, and you can master the patron saint spell in such a short time. Xie Lin, you surprise me!"

Although Zhang He is not a master of magic, he still has an eye for appreciation.

This child is still so young, just like a young dragon dormant. Given time, the dragon will eventually come out of the abyss and the dragon will fly in the sky!

He looked at Qiu. Qiu's talent was quite good, but it was a pity that her beautiful appearance attracted too many temptations for her and prevented her from focusing on magic. The Zhang family's secret transformation technique might be lost, unless... he suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Xie Lin, I will be leaving to return to China in a few days. You and Qiu are very close in age. I hope you can help me take care of her more when we are at Hogwarts and give her some guidance on weekdays." Zhang He endured. With a smile in his heart, he said with a serious face: "Don't worry, I won't let you waste too much time. In return, my Zhang family has some secret transformation techniques that I can give you."

Xie Lin agreed half out of gratitude and half out of greed for the Zhang family's transformation skills.
