Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 219 Draco's Day

Inside the Leaky Cauldron.

Draco and his parents, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, emerged from the Floo fireplace.

Due to the use of the highest grade Floo powder, the silk robes worn by the three of them were not stained with dust, and they were still as bright as new.

It was not long before lunch time, and the Leaky Cauldron was almost full, and there was a strange smell in the air.Shirtless brawny brawny, beggar-like, begging barkeep Tom for an extra whiskey, drunk, masked, sneaky talking weirdo, smelling like herbs, looks like The strange witch who is the old witch in fairy tales...

All of this made the Leaky Cauldron extremely lively at this time.

And Lucius and Draco covered their noses as soon as they stepped out of the fireplace, and at the same time frowned, raised their heads slightly and pointed their nostrils at the person, looking very disgusted.

Narcissa on the side looked at the father and son who were moving in sync and couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing.

Although Draco pinched his nose, the unpleasant smell rushed into his nose uncontrollably.He looked at the chaos in the bar and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

He hated being with these lowly, poor, low-class people, because they were all holy and pure pure-blood nobles.

He also hates the bad smell, because his father told him that the name of the smell is low, and it belongs to the inferior people only.

All this forced him to leave the Leaky Cauldron as soon as possible.

However, a poster stopped him.

This is a red poster with the shape of a Coke bottle and a line of small characters drawn in simple white lines.

Happiness is that simple!
And on that bottle, it says: Dolphin Magic Drink.

Dolphin's Magic Drink?
Draco froze for a moment, isn't this the most popular magic drink at Hogwarts last year?Now it's already sold off-campus?
Seeing that their son was attracted by the poster, Lucius and Narcissa also looked up. Seeing this, Lucius showed a thoughtful look.

"I finally remembered! When I read the Daily Prophet this morning, I thought the name was familiar! Isn't Dolphin the child of the family who was humiliated by us at the Christmas dinner?" Lucius said suddenly, "That family full of idiots actually started a drink business, tsk tsk! Narcissa, do you remember how they knelt in front of us and begged us to lend them money that night? Such a family is simply doing it for pure-blood nobles. Disgraceful name!"

Narcissa looked around quickly when she heard the words, and she pulled her husband's arm when she saw that no one noticed them, and whispered, "Don't say such things here, so many people are watching."

Lucius looked at his wife who was still charming, a smile appeared on his face again, and he gently held Narcissa's hand.

"This drink is sold by Mike."

Lucius and Narcissa were taken aback when they heard the words, Qiqi looked at his son, not understanding what he meant.

"Mike Townley. We met at the Foley family's Christmas dinner before." Draco continued, "Although I don't know why the drink is called Dolphin, it is indeed Mike's business. It has been sold in schools since I was in the first grade, and it tastes good and has a refreshing effect, so it sells very well.”

After hearing this, Lucius finally came to his senses, and his eyes on the poster changed from contempt to appreciation, and he said, "Oh! It turns out that it is Little Mike's property! Then we must support it. Tom, come here Two dozen of this magic drink."

Hearing Lucius calling him, Tom immediately got rid of the drunk who was still entangled with him, and came up to Lucius to flatter him and said: "Dear Mr. Lucius, I'm really sorry , I don’t have this kind of magic drink in my store, we just paid for the advertising fee so we put the poster here.”

"Really? Let's go then."

Seeing that there was nothing he wanted, Lucius took Draco and Narcissa and left the bar quickly.

No hurry, Lucius felt that if he didn't leave, he would be stinked by the cheap smell in the bar.

Tom watched the three members of the Malfoy family open, knocked his head annoyed, and said to himself: "Today, there are No. 20. Is this Dolphin Magic Drink really so delicious? No, I also I have to find the kid who bought the advertisement to buy some goods!"

……

On the other side, Draco waited until Diagon Alley before letting go of his pinched nose, and took a deep breath.

But he was only halfway through taking a deep breath when he was surprised to find that the entire Diagon Alley had become a sea of ​​red, with posters of Dolphin's Magic Drink posted everywhere.

"It's really a big deal..."

Lucius looked at the red eyes and whispered.

Narcissa on the side looked at her husband tenderly, and said softly, "Should I go find a place to buy some?"

"No, we can support Mike's business at any time, but the most important thing for me now is to accompany you to see clothes."

Upon hearing this, the affection in Narcissa's eyes was almost too strong to melt away. She pecked Lucius lightly on the face in the street, in exchange for her husband's hug.

Draco looked at his nasty parents, shook the goosebumps on his arms and said, "You go pick out clothes first, I'll go shopping!"

Lucius turned his head sharply to look at his son, and the affection in his eyes changed to sternness, warning: "Don't go to Knockturn Alley! If you let me know that you dare to go in alone..."

Draco shuddered, although his father didn't say the second half of the sentence, but the warning contained in the words meant that he had already received it.

So Draco agreed in a low voice, and finally got Lucius' consent before running away.

Draco, who was far away from his parents, finally put a smile on his face again. He swam through the crowd like a fish, and rushed to his destination, the Quidditch shop.

To be honest, Draco had a very hard time this summer vacation. Because he failed the final exam, he was confined to study at home. Apart from eating and sleeping, he studied all kinds of knowledge every day.

If nothing else, this will continue until school starts, but thankfully he has a doting mother.

His mother, Narcissa, persuaded his father to take him to Diagon Alley for shopping on the grounds that he wanted to buy clothes, and he could finally see the fastest flying broom that he had dreamed of, the Firebolt.

Finally, Draco came to the door of the Quidditch shop out of breath, and lay on the window without even breathing, scanning the streamlined shape of the Firebolt with fiery eyes.

'If I had a Firebolt, neither Harry the Scarhead nor Mike the Bad would be my match! '

Draco thought so in a huff, but soon he woke up from the sweet dream, and the original excited mood also subsided.

There's no way his dad would buy it for him because he already has a Nimbus 2001, and his dad spent a fortune last year to get himself on the varsity team.But this is not the main reason.

The main reason is actually that he didn't get the first place in the grade.

Draco sighed helplessly, his grades were actually not bad, at least he was in the top 20 of his grade.But their parents...

Shaking his head to shake off these cranky thoughts, Draco pulled himself together again.

Even if you can't get the Firebolt, it's good to just look at it like this.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered a strange thing.

He was the only one in front of the window that should be crowded with children in the past!

Draco glanced around suspiciously, and finally he found the group of little kids who had been hanging out in the Quidditch shop all day long.

There was already a long queue in front of the Florin Cold Drink Shop, extending from the shop to the street, and disappeared from sight after turning a corner in the distance.

Draco stepped forward to check curiously, and saw a small sign hanging beside the signboard of the cold drink shop, which read: Dolphin Magic Drink new flavor will be released in midsummer, priced at 2 Gold Galleons and 5 Silver Knuts/1 bottle, limited to 1000 bottles.

Only then did Draco suddenly realize, and the eyes he looked at those queuing people became contemptuous.

Dolphin's Magic Drink?I'm tired of drinking it, and it tastes like that.

But there is a new flavor, why don't you buy a bottle and try it?
Do it when you think about it, and you will lose if you hesitate!

Draco originally had a character of doing what he thought, and the strong strength of the Malfoy family also gave Draco the confidence to be willful.

Naturally, a rich man like Draco would not go to the queue stupidly. He directly found a boy who was dressed in ordinary clothes and was not very rich. He just bought the Dolphin Magic Drink and was about to drink it. He took out five gold Galleons and slapped them in front of him.

"I'll spend Metal Galleons to buy the drink in your hand!"

Draco held his head high, imitating his father's gesture.

And the boy was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to take the five gold coins, and then stuffed the bottle containing the magic drink into Draco's arms.

Draco felt the cold touch in his hand, looked at the transparent liquid with air bubbles in the glass bottle, and couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that there is still some meaning."

Draco's words were extremely loud, instantly attracting the attention of those who were queuing up around them.

Everyone looked at Draco enviously, and some younger children even swallowed.

Draco enjoyed the envious eyes around him, opened the bottle cap with a smile and took a drink.

"Oh!"

Mike added a lot of soda water and sugar to the Fat House Happy Dolphin Magic Drink, which carried a lot of carbonic acid and flowed into Draco's throat. The sweet taste and stimulating feeling instantly conquered Draco.

"what!"

Draco finished half of the bottle in one breath before giving up, and let out a deep breath, Draco only felt happier than ever before!
The classic fat house happy combination of carbonated sugar and sugar plus the exhilarating effect of Dolphin Magic Drink, this is simply double the happiness!

"gollum"

Everyone who was queuing up next to him drooled. Draco's eating was so tempting that they all had the urge to grab the half bottle of Dolphin's Magic Drink.

At this moment Draco also noticed their fiery eyes, quickly lifted the glass bottle and drank it all up, and finally showed the empty empty bottle to those who lined up with a smirk, in exchange for countless rolls of eyes.

"It's so delicious! I'm going to find my dad and ask him to buy me a lot of iced drinks! If he doesn't agree, I'll tell him that this is actually an energy drink, which can cheer me up and study hard !"

Thinking of this, Draco then threw away the empty bottle in his hand, and galloped in the direction of the out-of-the-ordinary clothing store.

At this time, in Lihen Bookstore, Lockhart was standing in the center of the store, posing for a photo with fans.

Today is the day when his new book is released. In order to promote the Dolphin Magic Drink, Mike gave him 200 bottles of the Magic Drink as an event giveaway along with the book.And after secretly tasting ten bottles, Lockhart changed the original binding rule of giving away new books to buying a complete set of his books to give away the magic drink.

And Dolphin Magic Drink did not disappoint him, besides his diehard fans, there were also many local tyrants who were not short of money and bought his complete set of books specifically for Dolphin Magic Drink, which made him smile .

"No! The 150 bottles of magic drink are almost sold out, I must write to Mike immediately to restock!"

Thinking of this, he quickly returned to the office in the store, picked up the peacock quill that he carried with him, and began to write.

Such scenes are happening in various wizarding gathering places in the UK. Mike still underestimated the purchasing power of the middle class and wealthy class in the wizarding world. The [-] bottles of magic drink he threw out last night were sold out without even holding up for a day. .

Now all the partners are frantically writing letters urging them to replenish the goods quickly, and those merchants like Tom who rejected Mike's cooperation request at the beginning are also writing letters at the moment, but they are writing letters requesting cooperation again .

Mike sat in the spacious conference room and watched the owls flying all over the sky and couldn't help closing his eyes. There were too many letters. He would read them one by one at first, but now, he knew what was inside without reading. content.

"What to do, Mike. Our production can't keep up!"

The Weasley brothers looked at Mike anxiously, and the current situation made the two young bourgeoisie at a loss.

At this moment, Mike suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp eyes swept over the Weasley brothers, and after calming them down, he said slowly:

"The old way."

"You mean?"

"That's right, increase the price!"

Hearing that the Weasley brothers looked at each other, they couldn't hide the excitement in their eyes.

……

In a town in the south of England, Dolphin's father returned home with the Daily Prophet he had just bought.

Stupid and cowardly son, ugly and vulgar wife, nagging parents...

As the head of the family, these things annoyed him to death, and he wished he could give them a petrification curse!

It's still cool to be Jess, strong and handsome, with countless food and wine to enjoy, and you can sing and sing every night...

Thinking of this, he smiled and opened the newspaper in his hand, preparing to continue reading a serial novel "The Strongest Wizard Jess" published in the Daily Prophet that he was chasing.

However, the moment he opened the newspaper, a bold line on the front page caught his attention.

"The new flavor of Dolphin Magic Drink is shockingly launched! Buy it now and you can draw a grand prize of 500 Gold Galleons!"

　Although I update it every day, this is a 4000-word chapter...
