Chapter 125: A Chance Encounter in the Tavern

Hogsmeade Week was soon approaching, and Augustus and Lilian Malfoy rode from the school's official road to Hogsmeade in a horse-drawn carriage early in the morning, all the way with the school's seniors, or groups of three or four, five or six as companions, and it was not deserted on the foggy path in the early morning.

"Well, Hogsmeade we still haven't been to a lot of places," Lillian said, raising her hand to draw and parting her slender fingers, "like the condiment shop, and the owl post office, uh, of course, I don't have a problem with going to the tavern for a butterbeer." ”

Augustus shook his head, "You're quite a fan of butterbeer, but in fact, to talk about the surroundings and interiors of Hogsmeade, in fact, it's just a variety of shops that are more interesting, and the real scenery is much worse than the school." ”

"Naturally," Malfoy nodded, "the location chosen by the school is a dragon and tiger in Feng Shui, with water in front and mountains in the back, mountains and rivers in the back, and the aura from all over the world gathered here, so many young talents can be bred." ”

"Tsk, you actually know the so-called Feng Shui, it seems that you know a lot about the traditional Chinese culture of the East, and you even know this kind of thing. It's not simple, it's not simple. Lillian looked at Malfoy in amazement, as if Malfoy, who had never learned anything about it, was actually proficient in Feng Shui, which was simply unexpected.

"Well, those who don't know are not guilty, in fact, it's nothing," Malfoy waved his hand triumphantly, "For things like feng shui and cave exploration, in fact, it's just Er'er, you only need to read through one or two of the country's history, and you will naturally become a master." ”

"Yes, Draco, you're quite idle, since you have so much time to read through the history of China, I'd like to ask," the corners of Augustus's mouth drew an arc, and his silver pupils were teasing, "Thor's realm in the construction of magic strings has reached the level of a beginner fifth-level magician, but he is a year later than you, what stage are you at now?" ”

Malfoy's expression suddenly became a little aggrieved, shrunk in the back seat of the carriage, and said obscenely, "Well, in fact, I am about to touch the barrier of the sixth stage, but recently, I have been thinking about the country and the people, and for the fate of my British Empire, I must take a look at whether the male master in the east has woken up, so I took the risk of reading the national history of China." ”

There was a sudden silence in the carriage, and the corners of Augustus's mouth twitched slightly, it was really difficult to continue preaching to such a thick-skinned person, forget it, the master led the door to practice in the individual, and his future achievements and interests were better to develop freely.

Coming out of the carriage, the weather was not bad, the breeze was blowing, a spring breath was blowing in the streets, all the shops around were open, the students of Hogwarts were scattered everywhere, and the sound of laughter and noise came from all sides, which was more lively than the last trip.

They went to the post office. Lillian pretended to be looking at how much it would cost to send an owl to Egypt, and the owls sat there, whispering to her, and there were at least three hundred owls there, from the Great Grey Eagle to the Little Bard Owl ("Local Delivery Only"), everything from the Great Grey Eagle to the Little Bard ("Local Delivery Only"), and the Little Bard was small enough to sit in the palm of Harry's hand.

"Actually, the means of communication in the wizarding world is still a bit simple, only owls transmit speed," Malfoy looked at the owls in the room and realized, "The Muggle world is still relatively good at this point, but I don't know what the principle of the telephone is, and it can be talked from far away." ”

"Actually, it's just that the development and progress of the two parties are not in the same direction," Augustus touched his chin, and then said, "Muggles naturally can't understand that wizards can teleport a person to a place 108,000 miles apart. It is inevitable that there will be differences in research directions and cultural practices. ”

Malfoy nodded, wizards and Muggles have their own advantages, as a pure-blood, naturally he will not prefer those mudbloods, but he has read some books about China, and has a little interest in the development of the Muggle world.

Next, they went to Jokowi, which was packed with students, and the three had to be very careful not to step on anyone so as not to cause panic. There was material for jokes and tricks, and Augustus found that there seemed to be more students in other places, and it was clear that for the whole person, in his student days, no one would refuse. When they left Jokowi, their wallets were much lighter than they had been when they entered the store, but Malfoy and Lillian's pockets were stuffed with dung bombs, burp candy, frog egg soap, and a nose-biting teacup.

"The weather is a little hot, let's go and have a drink, now there are more people in various shops, and it's a little crowded to go, so it's definitely the wisest choice to drink butterbeer." Lilian's burgundy pupils were full of butterbeer goblets, and Augustus groaned before agreeing, and the three of them began to make their way towards the tavern.

At this time, the tavern was a little less crowded, and the seats were distributed in twos and threes, Augustus and Lillian sat in a corner, and Malfoy went to ask for wine.

"Mr. Augustus, long time no see." A somewhat soft voice came from the left-hand side, and Augustus turned around, and Qiu Zhang and her two female classmates were sitting less than three or four meters away from them.

"It's been a long time," Augustus said with a polite smile, "I've seen you a lot, because we still have to go to the stadium to watch Quidditch matches." ”

Her two female classmates nudged her a little strangely, and then laughed inexplicably, Qiu Zhang's face was slightly red, and then she said, "Doesn't Mr. Augustus like Quidditch very much?" I sense a little reluctance in your tone. ”

"Quidditch is really good," Augustus waved his hand slightly, and smiled mildly, "but I really don't like it personally, and naturally I don't hate it, it's just average." ”

"Didn't Captain Akihari just play against Gryffindor? How does it feel to Potter, he's a pretty talented Seeker. Lillian spoke out a little inexplicably, with a slight irony in her tone.

Qiu Zhang's face was a little not good, he glanced at Lilian a few times, and suddenly smiled, "Harry is indeed a good player, in fact, we lost to them last time, after all, we can grab the Golden Snitch under the premise of encountering "Dementors", so naturally we have some strength." ”

At this time, Malfoy was coming over with a wine glass, and when he heard Qiu Zhang's words, his gray-blue eyes instantly brought a hint of chill.
