Chapter 139 Leaky Cauldron Waitress

As the designated entrance into the commercial center of Diagon Alley, there is no need to worry about the flow of customers at the Leaky Cauldron. No, as soon as the bar opened for business, a few wizards walked in, but they didn't order anything to drink, which was a bit unethical.

There were gradually more people in the bar. Some people went to Diagon Alley to shop, and some people came to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink. Here you can see all kinds of people and hear all kinds of stories. Of course, you have to be careful to distinguish which ones are true and which ones are just bragging.

Some regular customers who are familiar with Ada also come to the bar. They will say hello to Ada whom they haven't seen for a long time and exchange a few words, which are nothing more than "How was school", "You are beautiful again", "I have grown taller" and the like. , not very nutritious, but it doesn’t sound like you’re in a bad mood.

Ada would also smile and respond one by one, and also make appropriate jokes with the drinkers. The salesperson must have the awareness of the salesperson. It is not good to have a cold face all day long. Moreover, when Ada smiles, the heroic spirit between her eyebrows will be covered up, and the whole person will look much softer.

The bartender's skills had been laid aside for so long, and she was still a little rusty at first, but Ada quickly got into working mode, either busy behind the bar, or walking through the crowd carrying a tray full of wine.

"Do you know what I encountered in the Balkans?" A male wizard who looked about thirty years old said mysteriously, and several people around him shook their heads.

"Is it possible that you saw Harry Potter on vacation abroad?" It seems that this is a person who was driven crazy by Dedalo Digg's "How to Meet the Savior by Chance".

Ada came over with a tray and put down a large glass of brandy, toast and jam for the mysterious wizard. The wizard took a big sip of brandy, placed the cup heavily back on the table, and then said to the curious crowd: "I met a vampire in a medieval castle and almost died in his hands. He was gloomy. His face is always pale, and the fangs at the corners of his mouth are the color of blood..."

"When my companions and I finally escaped from the castle, we happened to catch up with the full moon night when aconite grass was in full bloom, and we were attacked by werewolves again. We were exhausted physically and mentally and could only keep running away, while running away , while praying to Merlin."

"In the end, we succeeded in expelling the werewolves, although we paid a heavy price..." The wizard told his experience, or "story". The guests in the bar did not care whether the things were true or false, as long as there was something It’s fun and can be paired with wine.

"Ada, what do you think?" asked a regular customer who was familiar with Ada.

Ada, who was holding the tray, was named Drizzt, not Li. How could she see it? She was not the same as everyone else. Ada rolled her eyes and said, "Have you ever thought about writing a book about your experiences? Just like the best-selling author Gilderoy Lockhart, who published "Traveling with a Vampire" and " "Wandering with Werewolves", maybe you can be as successful as him!"

When the wizard heard Ada's words, he suddenly became enlightened and his eyes became brighter and brighter. He destroyed the toast in three gulps, drank all the brandy in the cup, put down the coins and walked away.

Ada behind him wanted to reach out to stop him, but she didn't even touch the corner of his clothes. The wizard left as fast as if he had 10,000 gold galleons waiting for him at home, and the money would be gone if he didn't go back.

Ada felt that she had done something wrong, something that had led others astray. She was roaring in her heart: Come back quickly, I was just joking, why did you take it seriously? Writing a novel is a complete dead end, so don’t get carried away!

Everyone has his own destiny, and Ada did not expect that this person would be so impulsive. Gilderoy Lockhart was not someone who could be chosen just because he wanted to. Although Ada had always thought that Lockhart looked silly and was not as wise and powerful as he was in the book, at least he was good at writing, otherwise he would not have been able to fight his way out of a dead end. Become a best-selling author.

Ada had actually thought about submitting an article to the Daily Prophet. Although she had never worked in the Shock Department, she had seen pigs run away, so it was okay to choose a bluffing title.

For example, "Shock!" Dumbledore’s Quirks That Have to Be Said", "Shocked! "Why is Snape like this?" etc. If that doesn't work, you can also write "Shocked!" The Hogwarts catgirls are all...".

However, Ada gave up this idea. She was afraid that she would be killed before she could get paid for the "Daily Prophet", so she still worked for Snape honestly, or worked as a waitress in the Leaky Cauldron. It's more real.

What happened today is just an episode in Ada's career as a bartender. She sees many strange people and hears many strange things every day. Of course, there are also some people's gossip, about a famous wizard or a famous Quidditch player. It's interesting, but it's a bit tiring to distinguish between true and false.

In this way, Ada's life began to become normal. During the day, she would come to the Leaky Cauldron to work and practice wandless spellcasting. Ada tried to control the wine glasses with only her hands, and broke a few glasses, but it didn't matter, she fixed them again.

Trying to do simple things with magic power to enhance the accuracy of her wandless spellcasting, Ada didn't want to tear her left arm apart like last time when she cast spells without a wand. Ada needs to find out what are the limitations of wandless spellcasting at this stage and what kind of power it can withstand.

In the evening, Ada would return to the Burrow to chat with everyone, share the interesting things she heard during the day, and wash away the fatigue from a day's work. This is what makes home beautiful.

The ordinary and ordinary part-time job should have continued until the beginning of school, but a customer who suddenly came to the bar broke the peace. That happened on July 21st. Because Dave had another accident that day, Ada had to get off work late and stay at the bar to help out.

That's right, it was the waiter who studied spells last summer and then led himself to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. Dave didn't study magic this time, he was trying to hybridize new species. Ada didn't know if a new species had appeared. All she knew was that Dave sent him to St. Mungo's again.

Thanks to Dave, Ada can only stay and work overtime, hoping that Old Tom can pay her overtime pay. It was already evening, and after the guests had paid their bills and left, Ada was about to return to the Burrow. At this time, an "uninvited guest" came to the bar.

There were only two or three scattered customers left in the bar. The closed door was roughly opened, letting in the cool night breeze. A man who looked very embarrassed and haggard came in.

Ada happened to know this man. He was Quirinus Quirrell, a professor at Hogwarts.

Last school year, Quirrell took some time out to gather some first-hand, hands-on experience. But when Quirrell came back from his trip, he began to be afraid of everything, including the students in the school. He began to stutter, and his whole person became strange.

Ada had never attended Quirrell's class, and she had heard of these things. It was said that Quirrell encountered vampires and witches during his travels, which made him like this. Some students would even laugh at his weakness in private.

Quirinus Quirrell stumbled in. His robes were covered in dust. He looked like he had walked a long way or fallen down many times. Quirrell sat on a chair tremblingly, staring at everyone nervously, as if everyone here would harm him.

"Professor Quirrell, are you okay?" Ada asked softly. Ada couldn't bear to see the professor at her school being so embarrassing.

Not only did Quirrell ignore Ada, but he became even more panicked because of Ada's conversation, as if he couldn't tell the good from the bad. He shivered and moved away from Ada, and knocked a chair to the ground. The loud noise of the chair falling to the ground made Quirrell almost jump up.

I heard that Quirrell was a graduate of Ravenclaw and was famous for his talent when he was in school. Why did he become like this today? Could the vampire he met come to hunt him down?
