Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Inside the Leaky Cauldron.

Draco and his parents, Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy, came out of the Floo fireplace.

Since they were using the highest level of Floo fans, the silk robes on the three of them were not stained with dust, and they were still as shiny as new.

It was not long after lunch time, the Leaky Cauldron was almost full, and there was a strange smell in the air. Shirtless brawny, loud, beggar-like, drunk begging the bar owner Tom to give him an extra whisky, masked, grotesque talking sneakily, smelling of herbs, looking like The strange witch who is the old witch from the fairy tale...

All this makes the Leaky Cauldron Bar extremely lively at this time.

Lucius and Draco covered their noses the first time they stepped out of the fireplace, frowning at the same time, their heads slightly raised and their nostrils facing the person, looking very disgusted.

Narcissa on the side looked at the synchronized father and son and couldn't help but laugh.

Although Draco pinched his nose, the unpleasant smell could not be restrained from rushing into his nose. He looked at the chaos in the bar and couldn't help snorting coldly.

He hates to be with these lowly, poor people, because their family are pure blood nobles who are holy and pure.

He also hated the bad smell, because his father had told him that the smell was called low, and it was the smell of inferior people.

All of this made him want to leave the Leaky Cauldron as soon as possible.

However, a poster stopped him.

This is a red poster with a simple white line drawn in the shape of a Coke bottle and a line of small print.

Happiness is that simple!

And on that bottle, it was written: Dolphin Magic Drink.

Dolphin magic drink?

Draco was stunned for a moment. Isn't this the most popular magic drink at Hogwarts last year? Has it been sold off-campus now?

When Lucius and Narcissa saw that their son was attracted by the poster, they also looked at it, and Lucius showed a thoughtful look.

"I finally remembered it! When I read the Daily Prophet in the morning, I thought this name was familiar! Isn't Dolphin the child of the family who was humiliated by us at the Christmas dinner before?" Lucius said suddenly, "That family full of idiots actually started a beverage business, tsk! Narcissa, do you remember how they knelt in front of us that night and begged us to lend them money? Such a family is just for the pure-blooded nobles. Name disgrace!"

When Narcissa heard the words, she quickly looked around, and seeing that no one noticed them, she pulled her husband's arm, and whispered, "Don't say such things here, so many people are watching."

Lucius looked at his charming lady, a smile appeared on his face again, and he gently held Narcissa's hand.

"This drink is sold by Mike."

Lucius and Narcissa were stunned when they heard the words, and they all looked at their son, not understanding what he meant.

"Mike Townley. We saw it before at the Foley family Christmas dinner." Draco continued, "Although I don't know why this drink is called Dolphin, it is indeed Mike's business. It has been sold in schools since the first grade, and it tastes good and has a refreshing effect, so it sells well."

Lucius finally came to his senses after hearing this, looking at the poster from disdain to admiration, and said, "Oh! It turns out to be Mike's business! Then we must support it. Tom, bring it to me. Two dozen of this magic drink."

Hearing Lucius greeting him, Tom immediately got rid of the drunk who was still entangled with him, and came to Lucius to please him and said, "Dear Mr. Lucius, I'm really sorry. , I don't have this kind of magic drink in my store, we just posted the posters here because we charged advertising fees."

"Really? Let's go then.

"

Seeing that he didn't have what he wanted, Lucius took Draco and Narcissa quickly and left the bar.

No, no, Lucius felt that if he didn't leave, he would be stinted by the cheap smell in the bar.

Tom watched the Malfoy family open, knocked himself on the head angrily, and said to himself, "It's the twentieth day today, is this Dolphin magic drink really so good? No, me too. I have to find that kid who buys advertisements to buy some goods!"

...

On the other hand, Draco waited until after Diagon Alley before letting go of the nose he had been pinching and taking a deep breath.

But he took a deep breath and only inhaled half of it, but was surprised to find that the entire Diagon Alley had become a sea of ​​red, and posters of Dolphin's magic drink were posted everywhere.

"It's a big deal..."

Lucius looked at the red eyes and murmured.

Narcissa on the side looked at her husband tenderly and said softly, "Do you want to find a place to buy some first?"

"No, we can support Mike's industry anytime, and the most important thing for me now is to accompany you to see clothes."

As soon as she heard this, the affection in Narcissa's eyes was so strong that she couldn't let go, and she lightly pecked Lucius' face on the street, in exchange for her husband's hug.

Draco looked at his numb parents, shook the goose bumps on his arms and said, "You guys go pick your clothes first, I'll go shopping!"

Lucius turned his head sharply to look at his son, the sweetness in his eyes changed to sternness, and warned: "Don't go to Knockturn Alley! If you let me know that you dare to go in alone..."

Draco shuddered, and although his father didn't say the second half of the sentence, the warning in his words meant he had already received it.

So Draco agreed in a low voice, and finally got Lucius's approval before running away.

Draco, who was far away from his parents, finally put a smile on his face again. He shuttled nimbly in the crowd like a swimming fish, rushing to his destination, the Quidditch shop.

To be honest, Draco had a very hard time this summer. Because he didn't pass the final exam, he was banned from home for tutoring. Besides eating and sleeping, he learned all kinds of knowledge every day.

If nothing else, this will continue until school starts, but thankfully he has a doting mother.

His mother Narcissa persuaded her father to take her to shopping at Diagon Alley on the grounds that she wanted to buy clothes, and she could finally see the fastest flying broom, Firebolt, that she had been dreaming of.

Finally, Draco panted to the door of the Quidditch shop. He didn't even catch his breath before laying on the window and scanning the streamlined shape of the Firebolt with hot eyes.

'If I could have a Firebolt, neither Harry Scarhead nor Mike the Nasty would be my match! ’

Draco thought so with laziness, but soon he woke up from his sweet dream, and his original excitement was also lowered.

It was impossible for his father to buy it for him because he already had Nimbus 2001, and his father spent a fortune to get himself into the varsity team last year. But that's not the main reason.

The main reason is actually that he didn't get the first grade in the exam.

Draco sighed helplessly. His grades were not bad, at least he was in the top 20 of the grade. But their parents...

Shaking his head to shake off these thoughts, Draco regained his spirits.

Even if you can't get the Firebolt, it's good to just look at it.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered a strange thing.

He was the only one in front of the window that should have been crowded with children in the past!

Draco glanced around suspiciously, and finally he found the group of little brats who were hanging around in the Quidditch shop all day long.

I saw that there was already a long queue in front of the Florin cold drink shop. The line stretched from the shop to the street, and disappeared from view after turning a corner in the distance.

Draco curiously stepped forward to check, and saw a small sign hanging next to the signboard of the cold drink shop, which read: Dolphin's new flavor is on sale in midsummer, priced at 2 gold Galleons and 5 silver nut / 1 Bottle, limited to 1000 bottles.

It was only then that Draco realized, and his eyes at the people in line became contemptuous.

Dolphin magic drink? I'm tired of drinking it, and it tastes the same.

But with new flavors, do you want to buy a bottle to try?

If you think about it, do it, if you hesitate, you will lose!

Draco was originally a character who wanted to do it, and the strong strength of the Malfoy family also gave Draco willful confidence.

And a rich boy like Draco would naturally not queue up stupidly. He directly found a boy who was not very wealthy in ordinary clothes, just bought the Dolphin magic drink and was about to drink it. He took out five gold Galleons and slapped them in front of him.

"I'll spend hardware Galleons to buy your drink!"

Draco held his head high, learning his father's gestures by ten.

The young man was stunned for a moment, and then Fei also seemed to take the five gold coins, and then stuffed the bottle containing the magic drink into Draco's arms.

Draco felt the cold touch in his hand, and laughed at the transparent liquid with bubbles in the glass bottle.

"It seems to have some meaning."

Draco said these words very loudly, and instantly attracted the attention of the people who were queuing around.

Everyone looked at Draco with admiration, and some of the younger children even swallowed.

Draco enjoyed the envious gazes around him, opened the bottle cap with a smile and headed for a drink.

"Oh!"

Mike added a lot of soda water and sugar to the Fat House Happy version of Dolphin's magic drink with a lot of carbonic acid flowing into Draco's throat, and the sweet taste and exciting feeling instantly conquered Draco.

"what!"

Draco drank half of the bottle in one go, and let out a deep breath. Draco only felt happier than he had ever been before!

The classic fat house happy combination of carbonic acid and sugar, coupled with the stimulative effect of the Dolphin Magic Drink, is simply double the happiness!

"gollum"

All the people who were queuing on the side sighed, and Draco's food was so tempting that they all had the urge to go forward and grab the half bottle of Dolphin's magic drink.

At this moment, Draco also noticed their fiery eyes, hurriedly raised the glass bottle and drank it all, and finally showed the empty bottle to those in line with a smirk, in exchange for countless blank eyes.

"It's so good! I'm going to my dad and ask him to buy me a whole bunch of ice-cold drinks! If he doesn't agree, I'll tell him it's actually an energy drink, and it will lift my spirits and study hard. !"

Thinking so, Draco then threw away the empty bottle in his hand and galloped towards the Taifan clothing store.

In the Lihen Bookstore at this time, Lockhart was standing in the center of the store, posing for a photo with fans.

Today is the day when his new book is released. In order to promote the Dolphin Magic Drink, Mike gave him 200 bottles of the Magic Drink as a gift for the event. And after secretly tasting ten bottles, Lockhart changed the original bundling rule that he bought a new book and gave it away to have to buy his full set of books before giving away the magic drink.

And the Dolphin Magic Drink did not disappoint him. In addition to his die-hard fans, there are many local tyrants who are not bad for the Dolphin Magic Drink to buy his full set of books, which made him smile. .

"No! The 150 bottles of magic drink are almost finished, I must write to Mike immediately to replenish it!"

Thinking like this, he quickly returned to the office in the store, picked up the peacock quill pen he carried with him, and started writing.

Such a scene is happening in various wizarding places all over the UK. Mike still underestimates the purchasing power of the middle and wealthy classes in the wizarding world. The 4,000 bottles of magic drink he threw out last night were sold out without even holding up for a day. .

Now all the partners are writing frantically to urge them to replenish the goods quickly, and those who, like Tom, rejected Mike's request for cooperation at first are also writing letters at the moment, but they are writing letters asking for cooperation again. .

Mike sat in the spacious conference room and watched the owls flying all over the sky and couldn't help closing his eyes. There were too many letters. content.

"What to do, Mike. We can't keep up with production!"

The Weasley brothers looked at Mike anxiously, and the current situation made them two young petty bourgeois at a loss.

At this moment, Mike suddenly opened his eyes, and his sharp eyes swept over the Weasley brothers, calming them down, and then slowly said:

"The old way."

"You mean?"

"That's right, the price goes up!"

Hearing that, the Weasley brothers looked at each other, and the excitement in their eyes could not be hidden.

...

In a town in southern England, Dolphin's father returned home with the Daily Prophet he had just bought.

Stupid cowardly son, ugly and vulgar wife, nagging parents...

These things made him, the head of the family, annoyed to death, wishing that someone would reward them with a petrification spell!

Jess is still cool, strong and handsome, there are countless food and wine to enjoy, and you can sing every night...

Thinking of this, he smiled and opened the newspaper in his hand, ready to continue reading the serialized novel "The Strongest Wizard Jess" that he was chasing and published in the Daily Prophet.

However, as soon as he opened the newspaper, a line of bold font on the front page caught his attention.

"The new flavor of Dolphin's Magic Drink is on the market! Buy it now and get a 500 Gold Galleon!"
