Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Leaky Cauldron Bar
A three-storey house that looks like it was built in the last decade seems to be squeezed into the cluster of houses on the street, and on the door of the first floor, there is a wooden sign that reads: Leaky Cauldron Bar.
And the people who were hurrying through the streets didn't seem to notice the small bar, and they didn't even look at the shop, as if they couldn't see the cauldron bar.
Until a man in a black robe came to the door of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, ignored the strange behavior of the pedestrians on the street, reached out and pushed open the door of the bar, and walked in.
"Eric Granger?!I think I haven't seen you here in a long time, where have you been lately?" said a woman in a long yellow dress to the black-robed man who had just come in at the Leaky Cauldron.
Eric lifted the black hood from his head: "Hey, long time no see, Ms. Mora, I recently found a good job, that's a generous employer, easy work, good pay, I don't think I'll ever find this kind of good job again in my life!"
Mora had a hint of suspicion in his eyes, but he continued to have a decent smile on his face: "Since that's the case, Eric you should work harder for your employer's generosity......"
Eric shrugged: "I will, Ms. Mora, but if you can give me a malt beer, I think I'll appreciate your ......"
Mora picked up a wooden cup from the counter, turned around and placed it under a wooden barrel, and then unscrewed the faucet on the wooden barrel, allowing the beer in the wooden barrel to flow into the wooden cup: "My dear, I have to say, it's really a pity that you didn't accept the Hogwarts offer, after all, ordinary people don't have the opportunity to receive an invitation from Hogwarts...... Phineas wasn't a good headmaster, though. ”
Eric took the beer handed over by Mora and pouted: "Yes, Phineas is not a good headmaster, but it has nothing to do with whether I join Hogwarts or not, I think the main reason is because I can't stand that atmosphere...... The thought of having to teach hundreds of students how to make magic potions every day gives me a headache, and the pay is low......"
Mora rolled his eyes: "Eric, in which of your Ravenclaudes, you are the smartest student, whether it is Phineas or the deans of the other four houses, they all recognize your ability, but your only problem is that you take money too seriously......"
Eric waved his hand, "Come on, I don't believe Phineas will like my half-blood, he's always been a pure-blood!"
Mora spread her hands helplessly: "Okay, I admit that I exaggerated, but your headmaster, Lady Elena, she asked me, if she sees you, she must persuade you to go to Hogwarts to join, I heard that Lady Elena wanted you to start hiring in order to get Phineas to agree, but it was a lot of waste." ”
Eric was silent for a moment, then said with a smile, "I'm sorry, if Dean Elena finds you again, please tell her that I have met an employer who has been very good to me, and ...... I recognize and support their careers and pursuits, I have found my own path, and I will continue to walk firmly, so ...... I'm sorry to let Dean Elena's efforts go to waste. ”
Mora sighed softly: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, I hope you won't regret your choice......"
Eric smiled at Mora, then turned his head to the side of the card table, as if looking for something.
"Hah, look who I've found, Percival Dumbledore, I think it's been a long time since we've seen each other!" Eric said, walking to the card table to the side.
A square-faced man sat on the card table, pulling his face and sipping a beer: "Eric, I suggest you better not mess with me now......"
Eric sat down next to Percival and placed the wooden wine glass on the table, "What's wrong with you, my friend?
Percival looked a little grumpy: "Damn! don't mention that woman's name to me, she's like a ...... without a brain"
Eric hurriedly interrupted Percival's next words: "Okay, let's stop talking from here, if you don't want to lose Candela yet!"
Percival gasped for breath: "Okay...... Despite all her shortcomings, I have to admit that I can't live without her!"
Eric rubbed his forehead helplessly: "Very good, I came to the Leaky Cauldron Bar today to inquire about one thing, I think you should know if you have been walking around London." ”
Percival raised an eyebrow: "Oh, if you're looking for news from me, I'll tell you I don't know, and if you're coming to me to buy news, you can tell me what you want to inquire about right now!"
Eric glared at Percival, "Damn, when did you become a businessman!
Percival took a sip of his glass and said, "From the time you were in the third grade, selling me the pictures you secretly took of Candela. ”
Eric reluctantly took out a pound from his arms and put it in front of Percival: "Okay, okay, I need to know what werewolf tribes are around the city of London!"
Percival didn't pick up the pound on the table, but looked at Eric solemnly: "Werewolves? Why do you know this? I think I have to warn you not to provoke werewolves, they are not easy to mess with!"
Eric spread his hands: "Of course I know they are not easy to mess with, and I don't plan to provoke them, after all, who would provoke this group of bloodthirsty monsters for no reason." ”
Percival nodded and picked up the pound on the table: "Very good, let me think about it...... Werewolf colonies around London...... It seems that there is only the Gonzalez family, and yes, there are no other werewolf groups in London except for the Gonzalez family. ”
Eric continued to pull out a pound from his bosom and placed it in front of Percival's table: "Do you know how many werewolves there are in the Gonzalez family, and where is their home base?"
Percival looked at Eric in surprise: "Are you kidding me?!How can I possibly know how many werewolves there are in the Gonzalez family, let alone where their base camp is, you know, werewolves are no less wary of wizards than we wizards are about Muggles!"
Eric sighed helplessly, and reached out to take the pound back: "Well, it seems that there is nothing useful to collect from you." ”
Percival put his hand on the pound sterling and stopped Eric's hand from retracting the pound: "Don't worry, although I can't tell you the exact number and location, I still know the approximate location and quantity......"
