Chapter 8 Old Godmother and Happy Water
Hagrid wanted to buy repair tools, naturally, for the wand in his broken umbrella.
But Ollivander didn't know.
He turned his head and wondered, "Hagrid, hasn't your wand been destroyed?" ”
Hagrid scratched his chin and lied, "It's not for me, little Harry will come to Hogwarts next year, this is a gift for him in advance!" ”
"That kid is coming?" At the mention of Harry Potter, Ollivander's attention was diverted.
"Time flies so fast, I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the mysterious man has been down for ten years."
"yes, yes, time does fly so fast."
Hagrid took Cedric's wand and asked softly, "Cedric, can you accompany this kid to buy the rest?"
It's late afternoon, and Roy and I still have some things to do, otherwise we won't have time today. ”
Just a few minutes ago, Hagrid had seen Tom's gesture that he was now going to the Cauldron 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 wizarding world with Hagrid by the way.
Cedric glanced at Ollivander in embarrassment.
He had just finished a wand business and sold two maintenance tools for takeout, and the old man was in a good mood.
He said gently, "Of course, kid. You've had a busy day, and I'm closing now, so go ahead and have some fun. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Ollivander!" Cedric takes off his overalls, revealing his civilian clothes underneath.
Eventually, Roy paid Ollivander Thirteen Galleons for his wand and maintenance tools, and Ollivander bowed and sent them out of the store.
The four parted at a certain street corner, leaving only William and Cedric.
After a while, the two have become good friends.
"Hey, William, when you're usually at Hogwarts, you can ask me to help you take care of your wand, I'm a professional." Cedric explained.
"Then why didn't you say earlier, didn't these care tools be bought for nothing?" William rolled his eyes.
Cedric blinked and smiled, "It's not for nothing!" I have a commission, and for every one I sell, I get ten cico. ”
“……”
William now seriously suspects that Hogwarts has also eaten the Diagon Alley kickback!
"Alright." Cedric put his arm around William's shoulders and smiled, "Let's go, I'll invite you to eat ice cream, and then we'll go to the Blotted bookstore to buy textbooks." ”
Cedric bought two crushed praline ice cream, the chocolate was in the shape of Dumbledore, and it was unknown if the old man had charged a portrait fee.
The two of them sat on the chairs in front of the store, watching the people come and go, enjoying the breeze.
Bobo Tea sits next to William, eating canned cat food.
"Do you like wands?"
"Of course." When Cedric was eating, he didn't forget to flip through the worn-out notebook, which was full of things that Ollivander had written down.
"When I graduate, I'm going to leave England to see Grigovich's work."
Cedric's black pupils shone with an inexplicable light.
"If you still have the ability, you can travel to the countries around the Mediterranean, where the wand originated, from which Mr. Ollivander's family migrated.
When I was skilled, I finally went back to Diagon Alley to open a wand shop, and by that time Mr. Ollivander was almost retired, and there was no one to take business from me. ”
William looked at Cedric and said seriously: "If you want to open a wand shop, I will definitely invest in it, and let my children go to your store to buy wands!" ”
"It's a deal!"
William and Cedric shook hands.
Soon, William's attention was drawn to a bottle of Coca-Cola.
On the bottle of Coca-Cola, a man riding a broomstick was printed, and if it weren't for the whole picture showing dynamics, he would almost think that he was in a certain name style, close to the Jingong store of Shaxian snacks.
William was surprised: "There is also Coca-Cola in the wizarding world?" ”
Cedric scooped up a spoonful of chocolate cream and bit down on "Dumbledore's" head.
He wondered, "That's for sure, this drink has been around for hundreds of years, and then made its way to the Muggle world through wizards.
You wouldn't really think Muggles would be able to invent such a delicious drink, would you? ”
"So you know the recipe?" William excitedly.
Coca-Cola's most secret recipe was something he had always been curious about.
"Of course...... I don't know! Cedric shrugged, "There's some kind of potion ingredient in it, only the Candleler family knows about it, it's the famous potions family." ”
William took a sip in disappointment and found that there was no difference in taste from the Coke sold outside.
Cedric said mysteriously: "I'll tell you, it is said in "Singing Against the Tune" that there is a happy potion in the formula of Coca-Cola, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
William said seriously: "It must be true! This drink is known as Happy Water in the Far East. ”
"Oh!" Cedric dragged on and nodded, not knowing if he understood what William meant.
"What's the contradiction?" William wondered. "It sounds authoritative."
Cedric explained, "It was a magazine in the wizarding world that featured secrets such as the mystery of the Martian pyramids, prehistoric magical civilizations, and blood-spitting wizards......"
"I liked the most recent issue! It describes a wizard who slept at home at night and woke up to appear in the distant Magical Congress of the United States.
You know, he didn't pass the Transfiguration course, and he didn't have a portkey......"
William scratched his head, isn't this his meow's version of the wizarding world of "Into Science"?
No, no, it should be renamed "Into the Magic"!
Cedric was still chattering: "It's scary, I used to tie myself to the bed with a rope before I went to bed recently. ”
"However, my dad didn't like the magazine very much, and he called the editor-in-chief of the magazine the crazy Lovegood, though I didn't think so......"
William suddenly discovers that Cedric looks humble, but has the attribute of chattering.
William listened for a long time and had to shift the topic to the field where he could master the rhythm.
He said regretfully: "There is fat house happy water in the magic world, if only there were old godmothers and Weilong spicy strips." ”
"Old godmother, Weilong?" Cedric asked curiously, "What's that?" ”
William thought for a moment and gave an apt description: "Old godmother, a seasoning that is spread on bread, you can understand it as butter or cheese!"
As for Weilong...... It is a spicy flavor of French fries. ”
"The way to eat is also very simple, you just need to sandwich the spicy strips with bread, coat them with a thick layer of Lao Gan Ma, and drink a sip of happy water...... Be happy like a fairy! ”
"Immortals?"
"Oh, it's Merlin of the East."
With William's meticulous description, Cedric began to use his imagination to the fullest.
He excitedly said, "If there really 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 get, right?" ”
Cedric glanced around and whispered, "My dad works in the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control at the Ministry of Magic, and his position always gets him something that is not easy to do.
This summer, he got several tickets to the Quidditch World Cup.
If you hadn't come late, you would have been able to catch the race, which is only held once every four years. ”
In Cedric's opinion, compared to Quidditch tickets, Lao Gan Ma and Wei Long are nothing more than some butter and chips.
It's not a prohibited item, so don't you get it in minutes!
……
……
(P.S. Lao Gan Ma and Wei Long have not yet opened a company at this point in time.)
However, happy water has already been invented in the wizarding world, what are Lao Gan Ma and Wei Long?
It's normal for Muggles to not know this kind of thing, I'm the one who stewed an owl, how could I lie to you!
Anyway, the Aurors have come to check my water meter. )
