Stark in Harry Potter World - Chapter 8
Chapter 8 Old Godmother and Happy Water
Hagrid wanted to buy repair tools, naturally for the wand in his broken umbrella.
But Ollivander did not know.
He turned his head, wondering: “Hagrid, isn’t your wand destroyed?”
Hagrid scratched his chin and lied, “This is not for me. Little Harry will come to Hogwarts next year. This is a gift prepared in advance for him!”
“That kid is coming?” Sure enough, Ollivander’s attention was diverted when he mentioned Harry Potter.
“Time flies so fast, I didn’t expect that in a blink of an eye, You Know Who has been down for ten years.”
“Yeah, yeah, time really flies fast.”
Hagrid took the magic wand maintenance tool in Cedric’s hand and asked softly, “Cedric, can you accompany this kid to buy the rest?
It’s already evening, Roy and I still have something to do, otherwise we won’t have time today.”
Just a few minutes ago, Hagrid saw Tom’s gesture, and he was going to the Broken Cauldron Bar to find the Greek.
And Roy also wanted to see what the three-headed dog looked like, and went to taste the wine of the magic world with Hagrid.
Cedric glanced at Ollivander embarrassedly.
Having just finished a magic wand business and sold two maintenance tools to take away, the old man is in a good mood.
He said gently: “Of course, child. You have been busy during the day, and I have to close the door now. Go ahead and have fun.”
“Thank you Mr. Ollivander!” Cedric took off his work clothes, revealing the casual clothes inside.
Finally, Roy paid Ollivander 13 Galleon to buy the wand and maintenance tools, and Ollivander bowed and sent them out of the shop.
The four separated at a certain street, leaving only William and Cedric.
After a while, the two have become good friends.
“Hey, William, you can ask me to help you maintain your wand when you are at Hogwarts. I am professional.” Cedric introduced.
“Then why didn’t you say that these care tools were bought for nothing?” William rolled his eyes.
Cedric blinked and said with a smile: “It’s not for nothing! I have a commission. For every one sold, I get ten cents.”
“…”
William is now seriously suspicious, and Hogwarts also took the Diagon Alley rebate!
“Okay.” Cedric clasped William’s shoulders familiarly, and smiled: “Let’s go, I invite you to eat ice cream, and then we go to the Lihen Bookstore to buy textbooks.”
Cedric bought two ice creams with crushed nuts. The chocolate was in the shape of Dumbledore. He didn’t know if the old man received a portrait fee.
The two of them just sat on the chairs in front of the store, watching the people coming and going, enjoying the breeze.
Popo Cha was sitting next to William, eating canned cat food.
“Do you like magic wands a lot?”
“Of course.” When Cedric was eating, he didn’t forget to turn through the dilapidated notebook, which was filled with the things Ollivander wrote down.
“After I graduate, I will leave the UK to take a look at Grigovich’s works.”
In Cedric’s black pupils, there was an inexplicable light.
“If you still have the ability, then go to the countries around the Mediterranean Sea. There is the birthplace of the magic wand. Mr. Ollivander’s family migrated from there.
When I became more skilled, I finally returned to Diagon Alley to open a magic wand shop. At that time, Mr. Ollivander was almost retired, and no one would take business with me.”
William looked at Cedric and said seriously: “If you want to open a magic wand shop, I will definitely invest, and let my child go to your shop to buy a magic wand!”
“A word is settled!”
William and Cedric shook hands.
Soon, William’s attention was attracted by a bottle of Coca-Cola.
On the bottle of Coca-Cola, there was a man riding a broomstick. If the whole picture was not dynamic, he would almost think he was in the Golden Arches shop of Shaxian snacks with a certain name style.
William was surprised: “Coca-Cola is also in the magic world?”
Cedric dug a spoonful of chocolate cream and bit down “Dumbledore”‘s head in one bite.
He curiously said: “That’s for sure, this drink has a history of hundreds of years, and later it entered the Muggle world through wizards.
You don’t really think that Muggles can invent such a delicious drink, do you?”
“Then you must know the formula?” William said excitedly.
Coca-Cola’s most secret formula, but he has always been curious about it.
“Of course… I don’t know!” Cedric shrugged, “There is some kind of potion ingredient in it, only the Kandler family knows, this is a famous potion family.”
William took a sip of disappointment and found that there was no difference in taste from the Coke sold outside.
Cedric said mysteriously: “I’m telling you, ‘The Devil’ says that the Coca-Cola formula contains a happy potion, and I don’t know if it is true or not.”
William seriously said: “It must be true! This kind of drink exists in the far east, but it is called Happy Water.”
“Oh!” Cedric nodded with a long note, wondering if he understood what William meant.
“What’s the counterpoint?” William asked curiously. “It sounds authoritative.”
Cedric explained: “It’s a magazine in the magic world, which publishes some secrets, such as the mystery of the Martian Pyramid, the prehistoric magical civilization, and the vomiting wizard…”
“I like the most recent issue! It describes a wizard who slept at home at night, and when he woke up, he appeared in the distant United States Magic Congress.
You know, he didn’t pass the Phantom Shift course, let alone the door key…”
William scratched his head. Isn’t this the magical version of “Into Science”?
No, no, it should be renamed “Into the Magic”!
Cedric was still chattering: “It’s horrible. Before I went to bed recently, I would tie myself to the bed with a rope.”
“However, my dad doesn’t like this magazine very much. He calls the editor of this magazine the crazy Lovegood, although I don’t think so…”
William suddenly discovered that Cedric looked humble, but he had the attributes of chattering.
William listened for a long time, and had to shift the topic to a field where he could master the rhythm.
“The way to eat is also very simple. You just need to sandwich the spicy noodles with bread, apply a thick layer of old godmother, and drink a sip of happy water… Happy like a fairy!”
“immortal?”
“Oh, it’s Merlin in the East.”
With William’s detailed description, Cedric began to give full play to his imagination.
He excitedly said: “If there is such a delicious thing, I will definitely ask my dad to get us some back.”
William was surprised: “This kind of thing is not easy to handle, right?”
Cedric glanced around and whispered: “My dad works in the Department of Fantastic Beast Management and Control of the Ministry of Magic, and his position always allows him to get things that are not easy to do.
This summer, he got several Quidditch World Cup tickets.
If it weren’t for your late arrival, you could still catch up with the competition. This is only held every four years.”
