Chapter 63 Want a drink? Mr. Weasley

Ada lived in the Leaky Cauldron and went to work at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore during the day. After receiving the owl order, she goes to the warehouse to pack the books on the order, and then sends them back via owl. This is Ada's entire job.

In the process of packing books, Ada would also flip through the books. She read the books very quickly, and she only took a look, which would not affect Ada's normal work at all.

Just dealing with owls all the time, Ada would inevitably have some smell on her body, and Ada had to secretly cast a cleaning spell on herself so that she would not be haunted by the unpleasant smell.

By about four o'clock in the afternoon, Ada's work in the bookstore was completed, but she had not finished her work for the day when she returned to the bar. She had to continue to help at the bar.

The injured Dave will not be able to return to work at the bar for the time being. The doctor at St. Mungo's said that he will probably be discharged from the hospital until October. Tom originally wanted to recruit another waiter to take Dave's place, but he couldn't find one yet.

Ada took this opportunity to take advantage of the situation. After she finished her work in the bookstore, she would return to help in the bar. Tom provided Ada with free meals and reduced part of the room fee.

It seems that Ada is the one who suffers, but in fact, Ada can't do much work in the bar every day. She can work for three or four hours, which is enough, and it can save a lot of expenses.

In the evening, it was naturally Ada's own time. She could do whatever she pleased, whether it was writing summer homework or reading. Except that the place is a little small, everything else is pretty good.

A week passed like this in a blink of an eye, a little tiring but very fulfilling. Ada learned a lot of things here that cannot be taught in Hogwarts.

That afternoon, because the bookstore received few orders, Ada was able to get off work early. It was only half past three when she returned to the Leaky Cauldron.

Ada greeted the regulars in the store familiarly. Ada, who had worked here for a few days, was very popular, and no one looked away to bully her.

"Ada, guess who I saw today?" said Dedalo Digo, who was dizzy from drinking.

"How could I guess? Why don't you tell me!" Ada came over with the wine bottle. "If you tell me, this glass of wine will be mine."

"Of course you can't guess, because I saw Harry Potter today, and I saw him in a Muggle shop!" Di Ge said excitedly, raising his glass, "I recognized the scar on his forehead. , and bowed to him to express my high respect!"

When Dedalo Digg got excited, he took off his hat, waved his hands and told the surrounding guests about the scene.

"You made a big loss today, Ada. Dedalus has said this dozens of times in the entire afternoon!" said a young wizard who often comes here and likes to drink single malt whiskey.

"My ears are getting calluses from hearing this!" A nearby wizard echoed with a smile, "I have hallucinations now. I feel that I am the one who saw Harry Potter, not Dedalus."

"Is he about to enter school soon?" someone asked.

"Soon, he should go to Hogwarts next year, and we can see him then!" Another customer replied excitedly.

"He will be my junior by then. I can ask him for his autograph and send it to you for free." Ada said with a smile. She kept her agreement with Dedalo and poured him a glass of fire whiskey for free. .

"That's Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived, the boy who saved the wizarding world!" Dedalo Digg said excitedly. He didn't drink the wine he just poured and spilled it all on the ground.

Yes, that is Harry Potter, a strange man who "Although he is no longer in the world, his name is all praised in the world."

Most of the people in the bar wanted to meet this guy, but they were not as lucky as Dedalo, and they could meet Harry Potter just walking on the street.

"Maybe he will join the same college as me!" Ada smiled and gave Dedalo another glass of wine. "This glass of wine is not free, good luck Di Ge."

Ada walked back to the bar and asked Tom for a butterbeer. Tom didn't know what Ada had in mind, but he still gave it to her. After spending the past few days together, Tom was very impressed with Ada.

Raising the butterbeer in her hand, Ada shouted to the guests in the bar: "Here's to Harry Potter!"

"Here's to Harry Potter!"

The wizards and witches in the bar echoed loudly. They raised their glasses one after another and drank them all in one go. If they were good drinkers, they would drink one more glass.

Ada also took a sip of butter beer. The bitterness of the beer was neutralized by the strong aroma of butter, and the beer minimized the richness of butter. No wonder this sweet drink would be liked by little wizards.

Ada doesn't care about Harry Potter or not, she will see him sooner or later anyway. What she cares about is that all the guests tonight get +1 drinks, which is just a small amount of money.

Tom at the bar was very happy to see the scene in front of him. His toothless smile almost broke behind his ears. He quietly gave a thumbs up to Ada.

In the past few days, Ada would use various methods to stimulate the enthusiasm of the guests in the bar. When Ada was helping in the store, the guests ordered more drinks than usual.

Putting the wine glass back on the bar, Ada stood leaning against the bar, watching with satisfaction the grand scene of everyone toasting and drinking in front of her. Now Ada wanted to give herself a [loud voice], and then hurt everyone. Let me shout happily: All the consumption tonight will be paid for by Mr. Bo!

Tom took out the butterbeer and filled up another glass for Ada. He deeply regretted his previous behavior of secretly writing a letter to Professor McGonagall. If he had known this was the case, he should have secretly hidden Ada in the bar and served her delicious food and drinks.

"Look after the bar and I'll go back to get some more drinks," Tom said.

Ada walked into the bar, took the cup from Tom and continued to wipe it. Of course it was better to be lazy. What could be more exciting than fishing at work?

Concentrating on catching fish, no, Ada, who was concentrating on wiping the wine glass, felt her eyes darken, and a figure appeared in front of Ada. She said: "What do the guests want to order?"

As Ada spoke, she looked up and saw a thin, balding man standing in front of her. This man's hair was fiery red.

"You must be Ada. You are as beautiful as they said." The bald man said kindly.

"You are..." The appearance of the man in front of her made Ada somewhat familiar, but Ada was very sure that she had never seen this person before.

"Forgot to introduce, I am Arthur Weasley, Fred and George are my sons." Mr. Weasley explained.

"Hello Mr. Weasley, I always hear Fred and George mention you. They say you are the best father in the world..." Ada felt that she was really stupid. With this appearance and hair color, she I didn't even recognize it,

Mr. Weasley didn't believe his naughty son would say such a thing, but he was still pleased to hear Ada's compliment.

"Mr. Weasley, would you like a drink?" Tom, who had gone to get some wine, came back and asked Mr. Weasley.

"No, not today, I have to go home later..." Mr. Weasley said, "I came to see Ada today."

Tom led Mr. Weasley and Ada to a small private room behind the bar. There was a small table and two uncomfortable-looking chairs.

"Did you come to see me today for something?" Ada asked, pouring a glass of wine before she came in. She placed the glass in front of Mr. Weasley.

"Here you go." Mr. Weasley took out an envelope from his robe and handed it to Ada.

Ada took the letter and read it. It was a letter from Professor McGonagall. Ada recognized the handwriting at a glance. After reading her transformation notes for a year, if she couldn't recognize Ada, she might as well get a pair of glasses.

"Professor McGonagall was very angry when she found out you lived here." Mr. Weasley said, "By the way, and this, Professor McGonagall said you can use the money with confidence, but you can't spend it carelessly."

Mr. Weasley handed Ada a small leather bag, the same one she had handed in before the holidays.

Ada was still reading the letter, and Professor McGonagall's uneasiness was revealed between every line. From the letter, Ada also understood why Mr. Weasley came to the Leaky Cauldron to find her.

After learning about this, Professor McGonagall originally planned to pick up Ada in person, but Dumbledore did not agree with her approach. Instead, he wrote a letter to Mr. Weasley and asked Mr. Weasley to pick up Ada. Arrive at his house and stay for a while.

"It will be on you and Mrs. Weasley to trouble you in the future." Ada said while holding her own butterbeer.

"Molly likes you very much. She asked me to pick you up to play with." Mr. Weasley said, he was a little hesitant about the wine glass in front of him.

Ada was familiar with Mr. Weasley's expression, and she said, "I won't tell Mrs. Weasley."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Weasley raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. He said, "Pack your things, let's go home and give them a surprise!"
