[HP] Amy Lee sleepwalks through Hogwarts

Chapter 39 The Leaky Cauldron

Amy saw a bald little old man in the parking lot outside the station, with two dispensable small glasses hanging on his wine-red nose. Behind him was an old car with a cargo bed.

He seemed to recognize Amy at once, waving to her from afar and nodding for her to come over.

Amy didn't know this person, but she already knew that someone would come to pick her up and take her to the Leaky Cauldron. After some hesitation, she went over. She asked: "Are you...Boss Tom?"

The little old man nodded matter-of-factly, as if he was very proud, and said: "It's too polite to call me 'boss'! Haha~ But if you like to call me boss, I won't mind! Haha~"

It can be seen that he is quite happy, but he just wants to be a little humble.

Tom helped Amy put her box in the cargo compartment, then opened the cab door and asked her to sit in the passenger seat.

Malfoy and the lady in dark court attire actually came to this place. Looking at the dilapidated pickup truck, they couldn't help but sneer: "What? Are you going to stay in the dilapidated Leaky Cauldron Bar? You'd better pray in advance. The person living next door is not some weirdo who makes slugs as a side dish! Otherwise, his slugs will crawl all over your room in the middle of the night!”

Although Amy didn't hear much malice, her hands itched when she heard Malfoy speak and she wanted to punch him. But when I saw that my mother was still there, I just forgot about it. He nodded and said carelessly: "Thank you for your concern!"

"Hmph!" The expression on Malfoy's face was so proud that it made people want to punch him...

The dark lady urged with a cold face: "Draco, don't waste time with these low-status people!"

Malfoy instantly became a good boy and said, "Yes! Mom!" Then he followed him obediently and walked to the side, as if he suddenly disappeared, probably entering an invisible car.

Just look at them lifting their legs as if to climb up before turning invisible... Could it be a carriage?

The minivan in which Amy was sitting had just driven away when the Weasley family arrived, and the sharp-eyed Fred had already seen her.

Fred whispered to George in a low voice: "Did you see that? That seems to be the owner of the Leaky Cauldron!"

George only glanced at it and thought he had seen it wrong. Since Fred also saw it, it was not an illusion, and he could boldly guess: "Could it be..."

"She lives in the Leaky Cauldron!" The two people came to this conclusion at the same time, and both touched their bare chins, already calculating their next move.

Amy, who knew nothing about it, curiously looked at the buildings along the way. After a while, she arrived at the so-called "Leaky Cauldron Bar", a very inconspicuous and shabby little shop on the corner. The facade next to it was very elegant, clean, and busy, but this shabby little facade was ignored by everyone. Not only did he not go inside, he didn't even look inside or at the signboard.

"We're here!" Tom parked the car at the door. After Amy got out of the car and helped her unload her luggage, the minivan suddenly began to shrink until it became a toy car smaller than a palm.

Tom picked up the small truck that had shrunk into a toy from the ground, and told Amy in a very mysterious voice: "Don't be surprised, girl! This car is specially approved by the Ministry of Magic! After all, the Leaky Cauldron sometimes purchases goods from Muggles. You’re not allowed to park your car at the door.”

Amy had no objection to this, but she started to wonder, if all cars could be reduced to this size... then who would buy parking spaces? Wouldn't it be enough to just put it in your pocket?

Tom carried Amy's suitcase and led her to open the door with a sense of era. The corner of the door hit the copper bell hanging on the top and made a "ding" sound to alert the people at the bar that someone had come in. .

There was no one in the bar at this time, only two old wizards in green and purple robes were chatting in a soft voice with their backs to the door. They heard someone coming in and turned to Tom and shouted: "Oh, you're back, Tom!"

"Yes! Thank you for taking care of it for me for a while!" Tom continued carrying Amy's suitcase upstairs while saying, "I'll treat each of you to a glass of butterbeer later!"

The stairs are made of wood and are very narrow. They make a "creaking" sound when walking on them, which always makes Amy worry that the wood will suddenly break and let her fall.

Tom took her to the top of the building, walked along the corridor to the end, opened a small room, and invited her to enter. "I heard from Hagrid that you can't return to China for some reasons, so you want to find a place to live during the two months of summer vacation. He also specifically told me that you are still a student and don't give you a room that is too expensive. , and don’t deliberately bully others and find a room with poor conditions to deal with you! What do you think of this room? This is the smallest room here, and of course the cheapest! Except for the single bed, there is no shortage of other facilities! Accommodation fee It’s one galleons per day, and you need to stay for two months. There are sixty-two days in July and August, so you only need to pay sixty galleons!”

Amy no longer understands the specific value of "Jinlong". To put it into perspective, it was still a gold coin, but she could get twenty of it by beating Malfoy once. It's easy to say that it's profitable, the Weasley twins have been tormenting her for a Galleung until now...

Fortunately, sixty galleons was not a big sum for Amy, so she nodded in agreement and said, "I will send you the accommodation expenses for July tomorrow!"

Tom nodded with satisfaction, and while slowly exiting the door, he continued: "The room will be cleaned daily. If you need to eat, you can go to the bar on the first floor and order a sandwich. Each serving only costs three Sickles! Now you It’s time to get familiar with your room!”

After the door was closed, Amy and Tanqiu were the only ones left in the small room.

This room is only ten square meters. There is a four-poster single bed in the room, and the bedding is all new. There was a small desk next to the bed, with only a candlestick on it. There is a small window above the desk, which can transmit light, but cannot see the outside scenery, and probably cannot see inside from the outside. It seems to be enchanted.

After placing these two things, there was not much space left in the room, but it was enough to put a cat's nest for the charcoal ball.

Cat litter box? Not required! Charcoal balls can go to the toilet on their own!

But never rush.

Amy put the charcoal ball on the bed and lay down. After stretching, she completely relaxed. She closed her eyes and muttered, "Charcoal ball, just stay on my bed for a while. Tomorrow..." I'll buy you a cat nest again..."

While she was sleeping, somewhere deep in the mountains and old forests, an incorporeal ghost whispered to a big green snake: "I met a girl in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, and her blood touched me. body, causing all the power I got from the unicorn blood to lose its effectiveness. Otherwise, I would not have let Harry Potter escape death under my nose!"

The big green snake hissed a few times, seeming to respond to something.

The ghost then said: "I want the blood of that glowing unicorn!"
