The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 139

As the designated entrance to Diagon Alley, the Leaky Cauldron, there is absolutely nothing to worry about.No, as soon as the bar opened, a few wizards walked in, but they didn't have anything to drink, and they did something a little dishonest.

The number of people in the bar gradually increased. Some people went shopping in Diagon Alley, and some people made a special trip to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink.Here you can see all kinds of people and hear all kinds of stories. Of course, you have to carefully distinguish which are true and which are bragging.

Some old customers who are familiar with Ida also come to the bar. They will say hello to Ida who has not seen for a long time, and exchange a few words, nothing more than "how is it at school", "beautiful again", "grow taller" and other words , nothing nutritious, but it doesn't sound like you're in a bad mood.

Ada would respond to each one with a smile, and would make some jokes with the drinkers appropriately.A kanban girl must have the consciousness of a kanban girl. It is not good to have a cold face all day long, and when Ada smiles, it will cover up the heroic spirit between her brows, and the whole person will look much softer.

The bartender's skills were laid down for so long, and she was still a little rusty at the beginning, but Ada quickly entered the working state, either busy behind the bar, or shuttled among the crowd with a tray full of wine.

"Do you know what I encountered in the Balkans?" A male wizard who looked about thirty years old said mysteriously, and several people around him shook their heads.

"Is it possible that you saw Harry Potter on vacation abroad?" It seems that this is a person who was driven crazy by Dedalus Diggle's "On How to Meet the Savior by Chance".

Ada came over with a tray and set down a large glass of brandy, toast and jam for the mysterious wizard.The wizard took a big gulp of brandy, put the cup back on the table heavily, and said to the curious crowd: "I met a vampire in a medieval castle and almost died in his hands. His eerie His face is always pale, and the fangs at the corners of his mouth are the color of blood..."

"When my companion and I escaped from the castle with great difficulty, it happened to coincide with the full moon night when the aconitum was in full bloom, and we were attacked by werewolves again. We were exhausted physically and mentally, we could only keep running away, while running away , while praying to Merlin."

"In the end, we succeeded in expelling the werewolf, although we paid a heavy price..." The wizard told his experience, or "story", and the guests in the bar didn't care about the truth of the matter, as long as there was Interesting, it is enough to go with wine.

"Ada, what do you think?" An old customer who was familiar with Ada asked.

The surname of Ida holding the tray was Drizzt, not Li. How could she see it, she was not the same as everyone else.Ada rolled her eyes and said, "Have you ever thought about writing your experience into a book? Just like the best-selling author Gilderoy Lockhart, didn't he publish "Traveling with the Vampire" and " Wandering with Werewolves, maybe you can be as successful as him!"

The wizard suddenly opened up when he heard Ada's words, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. He wiped out the toast in two gulps, drank the brandy in the glass in one gulp, put down the coins and walked away.

Ada behind him wanted to reach out to stop him, but he didn't even touch the hem of his clothes. The speed of the wizard's departure was as if there were ten thousand Galleons waiting for him at home, and the money would be gone if he didn't go back.

Ada felt that she had done something wrong, that she had led others astray.Her heart was roaring: Come back quickly, I was just joking, why did you take it seriously!Writing a novel is a dead end, so don't get too caught up in it!
Everyone has their own destiny, and Ada did not expect this person to be so impulsive. Gilderoy Lockhart is not easy to become.Although Ada has always felt that Lockhart looks stupid, not as wise and powerful as he is in the book, but at least he has nothing to say about his pen skills, otherwise he would not be able to kill him in a dead end. Become a bestselling author.

In fact, Ada also thought about contributing to the "Daily Prophet". Although she didn't work in the shock department, she had seen pigs run away anyway, so it was no problem to get a bluffing headline.

Such as "Shock!Dumbledore's eccentricities that have to be said", "Shock!Why Snape is like this" and so on, if it doesn't work, you can also write "Shock!The Hogwarts catgirl is absolutely...".

However, Ada gave up on this idea. She was afraid that she would be killed before she could get paid for the "Daily Prophet", so she should honestly help Snape, or work as a waitress at the Leaky Cauldron. Come more realistically.

What happened today is just an episode in Ida's bartender career. She sees a lot of strange people and hears a lot of strange things every day.Of course, some people's gossip is also indispensable. The gossip of a famous wizard or a famous Quidditch player is interesting but interesting, but it is a bit tiring to distinguish the true from the false.

In this way, Ada's life began to become normal. During the day, she would come to the Leaky Cauldron to work and practice casting spells without a wand.Ada tried to manipulate the wine glasses with her hands only, and broke a few glasses, but it didn't matter, she fixed them again.

Trying to do some simple things with magic power, to enhance the accuracy of her wandless spellcasting, Ada didn't want to tear her left arm when she cast a spell without a wand like last time.Ada needs to find out where the current limitations of wandless spellcasting are and what kind of power she can withstand.

In the evening, Ada will return to the Burrow, chat with everyone, share the interesting things she heard during the day, and wash away the exhaustion of her working day. This is the reason why home is beautiful.

The ordinary and ordinary part-time job should have continued until the beginning of school, but a guest who came to the bar suddenly broke the peace.That happened on July 21, because Dave had another accident that day, so Ida had to leave work late and stay in the bar to help out.

That's right, I studied spells last summer, and then I studied myself with the waiter at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries.Dave didn't study spells this time, he was trying to hybridize new species.Ida doesn't know if the new species has appeared. Ida only knows that Dave sent himself to St. Mungo again.

Thanks to Dave, Ada can only stay and work overtime, hoping that Old Tom can pay her overtime pay.It was already evening, and after the guests had checked out one after another, Ada was about to return to the Burrow. At this time, an "uninvited guest" came to the bar.

There were only two or three sporadic customers left in the bar, the door was opened roughly, and the cool night breeze came in.A man who looked embarrassed and haggard walked in.

This man Ida just knew, he is Quirinus Quirrell, a professor at Hogwarts.

Last school year, Quirrell took some time off to gather some hands-on experience.It's just that when Quirrell came back from his trip, he started to be afraid of everything, including the students in the school, he started to stutter, and his whole body became weird.

Ada has never attended Quirrell's class, and these things are all she heard. It is said that Quirrell encountered vampires and witches during his travels, and that's why he became like this. Some students even laughed at his weakness in private.

Quirinus Quirrell stumbled in, his robe was covered with dust, and he looked as if he had walked a long way and fell down many times.Quirrell sat in a chair trembling all over, staring at everyone nervously, as if everyone here would harm him.

"Professor Quirrell, are you okay?" Ada asked softly. Ada couldn't bear to see the professor in her school being so embarrassing.

Not only did Quirrell ignore Ada, but he became even more flustered because of Ada's conversation, as if he couldn't tell the good from the bad.He shivered away from Ada, and knocked a chair to the ground, and the loud sound of the chair falling made Quirrell almost jump up.

I heard that Quirrell is a graduate of Ravenclaw. He was famous for his talent when he was in school. How did he become such a ghost today? Could it be that the vampire he met came to chase him down?
