Chapter 840 The Leaky Cauldron
Tom didn't ask any questions, but told Robin to try it for a day. If she could do it, she could stay. If she couldn't, forget it.
It was just an internship. Robin turned around and frowned at the unruly wizards.
It was really difficult. With so many people, even if Old Tom had three heads and six arms and six wands, he couldn't solve so many problems. Either they fell or vomited. These wizards who were scared by Voldemort needed to find back the life they missed before in this way. Ten years have passed. They have been suffering under the cover of the dark shadow for ten years. I'm afraid now they have to earn back all the happiness of the past ten years.
Ugh. Someone vomited again, three wizards in a row.
Distributed in different directions, Old Tom closed his eyes painfully. His bar was about to become a toilet. There was too much vomit, it was stinking.
But now Robin is here, and she can't do anything with her arms. She uses her Hundred Flowers to gather the vomit of the three people. Then she uses her arms to move the shaky wizards to the corner.
Then she starts cleaning again. Robin is standing behind the bar, but she commands the whole bar. She keeps an eye on everything and responds quickly. At this moment, Robin is the master of the Leaky Cauldron.
Even the wizards are stunned. They have never seen such a strange spell. Old Tom is very excited: "What's your name? No matter what, you are hired."
It's only been half an hour, and the bar has completely lost its smoky atmosphere and the stench has also decreased a lot. Robin has proved with her strength that she can be an excellent bar girl.
"Little wizard, I didn't see you waving your wand. What is your interesting magic?" An old wizard asked curiously.
"It's a secret." Robin laughed, "Secrets make women more feminine."
...
Women are more difficult to understand than wizards, and the most difficult to understand are of course female wizards.
Fortunately, wizards don't care. Haven't they seen enough strange things? Anyway, for wizards, existence is reasonable, no matter what kind of magic it is.
Soon the atmosphere in the bar returned to its lively state, with toasts and laughter.
"For the boy who lived." Suddenly, someone shouted, and all the wizards present, even the always negative old Tom, blushed.
"For the boy who lived." All wizards raised their glasses and toasted Harry Potter.
Robin thought that wizards, in addition to their eccentric personalities, are also human beings, and they also have joys and sorrows. She knew that the boy who lived was the child who defeated Voldemort. It seems that he has really become a legend. Who can become a legend at birth?
Robin's life soon settled down. She also got her own dormitory in the Leaky Cauldron. Although it was crowded with only a moldy quilt, there were no windows or vents, and the whole dormitory was extremely depressing. But such a room did not require rent and was given to Robin for free.
Robin did not care. She had calculated that she would first settle down in the wizarding world and then start reading in her spare time. At this time, there were not many books in the bookstore in Diagon Alley because it had just resumed business. However, Robin needed a general introduction to magic and elementary spells, so she had to start learning magic. Then Robin would study some magic props and make a little money. Although she was an undercover, there was no need to abuse herself.
Robin had planned everything, and it went smoothly. In the first year, she designed a very interesting sliding shoe. After putting on the shoe and standing up, the shoe would stick to the plane and move forward, and its state was the same as a balance car. In fact, Robin's inspiration came from the balance car that did not exist in this era, but there were no wheels, but magic could make the shoes slide on the ground, on the water, and even on vertical walls.
Robin deposited her shoes in the shops of shopkeepers she was familiar with for consignment: Hopping and Playing Magic Joke Shop, Ollivander's Wand Shop, Second-hand Robe Shop, and Tofan Clothing Shop.
The sales were good. Ten pairs were sold in the first month, which gave Robin a hundred gold galleons, and she immediately used the money to buy various books. As time went by, she bought more and more books. Fortunately, many of them were lent to other sisters after Robin read them. Although they were busy with their own things, they were still very curious about wizards. Occasionally, they would visit Robin at the Leaky Cauldron and taste the wizard's food.
However, wizard food was not delicious, and some even had very strange tastes that could make people lose their appetite. Wizards turned people's necessary meals into entertainment. Fortunately, there were some strange things that could be bought and tried.
"Robin, change the sheets in the guest rooms on the second floor. Put the old sheets on and put away the new ones." Old Tom was so straightforward in doing business, and his attitude was that guests could come or not.
"Are there any guests coming?"
"Yes, they are unpleasant guests, bad guests who will make the floor dirty and jump around on the bed." Old Tom's face became darker and darker.
In fact, Hogwarts is finally going to start the new year's recruitment activities. Little wizards from all over the UK will come to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies, and many will stay in the Leaky Cauldron for one or two nights. Those naughty children around ten years old will scream, play happily, and make the bar a mess.
Old Tom was worried about his sheets, so he resorted to the trick of exchanging old for new.
Sympathizing with Old Tom, he was so nervous.
A few days later, parents brought their children to Diagon Alley one after another. Each of them brought a shopping list, which listed the supplies and books needed for Hogwarts this year, as well as the specifications of school uniforms.
These were children from wizarding families, so parents could just bring them along, and they were familiar with the place. Some carefree parents even went to the bar to get drunk and let their children go shopping by themselves.
But in addition to wizarding families, there were also many children from Muggle families with magical potential who would receive notices, which required the teachers of Hogwarts to personally take action.
The teachers would explain the situation to the parents of the little wizards, and then take them to Diagon Alley to shop, doing their best to explain the existence of wizards to those Muggles.
After Voldemort, the strength of the wizarding world suffered losses, many young wizards died, and there were fewer children. So Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, decided to recruit more children from Muggle families to add fresh blood to the wizarding world.
Robin met many teachers at Hogwarts, all of them were very unique. Unlike wild wizards, the teachers at Hogwarts paid more attention to their appearance than other wizards. At least there was no dust on their heads and their clothes were clean. They were indeed role models, a breath of fresh air in the wizarding world.
And it seemed that the teachers were very rich. Generally, the teachers who came to drink would not order cheap wine, but medium to high-priced wine.
