Chapter 174: Lü Dongbin, Drunk and Strong Enough to Lift a Pot

"Welcome, Professor McGonagall, and little Fish."

When Professor McGonagall led Fish to the lobby of the Leaky Cauldron, the owner Tom immediately came up to them and greeted them both with a smile on his face.

"It's not little Feixu, Feixu has grown taller!" (●ΦДΦ●)

Fei Xu, who just realized that he has grown taller, cannot hear the name "Little Fei Xu" now.

Old Tom quickly changed his words and gave Fish a very formal breast-stroking salute, "As you wish, Mr. McGonagall."

Fei Xu was coaxed to smile.

"What do you two want?"

As a bar owner, Tom instinctively started to bring in business for himself.

What's more, the bar is extremely deserted at this time. If it wants to be really lively, it will have to wait until the students at Hogwarts receive their book lists and start going to Diagon Alley to buy things in large quantities.

So now Old Tom can earn a little bit.

For this reason, he specially said to Fish: "As an apology for the mistake I just made, I can buy Mr. McGonagall a drink. What would you like to drink?"

"Fix wants to drink, meow!" (●ω●)

Although he had the experience of drinking and drinking, hasn't he grown up now?

Minerva said that when she grows up, she can drink!

"no!"

However, Professor McGonagall on the side directly stopped him.

"Obviously Minerva just said that Fish will buy me whatever he wants, meow!" ∑(●ΦДΦ●)

"But I also said you have to wait until you grow up to drink."

"Isn't Fish grown up already?! Minerva, you big liar!" (●`ω●)

"You've just grown up a little, and you're not old enough to drink yet."

"How old will Feishi be before he can drink?"

In order to avoid being fooled by Professor McGonagall again, Fish persisted in asking.

"Hmm..." Professor McGonagall pondered for a moment, then made a mistake and replied: "When you grow a beard."

"Fish already has a beard, meow!"

"I'm talking about you growing a beard in human form." Professor McGonagall quickly added.

Then she saw Fei Xu cover her chubby cheeks with the palms of both hands and rub them randomly a few times.

(ノ)`ω(ヾ)

(=ΦωΦ=)

"The beard has grown, meow!"

When Fish put his hands down, there were already a few cat whiskers on his face.

Professor McGonagall: "..."

"Conjured ones don't count!"

"It's not a conjuration! This is Fei Xu's bearded cat!" (=`Д=)

Feishu was not happy. This cat's beard had been there since he could remember. How could it be conjured?

"It just doesn't work! You're too young now!"

"Minerva, you big liar! Fish will never trust you again, meow!"

"It's useless to argue, if it doesn't work, it won't work!"

While Fish was arguing with Professor McGonagall, the boss, Tom, came to smooth things over and said, "Why don't you give Fish a glass of butterbeer? Even if you are a little wizard, there is no harm in having one." of."

Professor McGonagall looked down at Fish, only to see that he was raising his little head stubbornly, pouting his lips angrily, and looking at her. The cat whiskers on both sides of his cheeks were still twitching, looking very confused. Very cute. (=｀3=)

After suppressing a smile and thinking for a moment, Professor McGonagall took a step back and said, "Okay, but only one cup."

"Fish is starting to like Minerva again, meow!" (=ΦωΦ=)

Fei Xu, who won the stage victory, gave up as soon as he could.

So Professor McGonagall turned to Tom and said: "Then let's have two glasses of butterbeer. After drinking it, I have to take Fish to buy this year's textbooks."

"Oh? This year's Hogwarts book list came out a little late."

Old Tom walked behind the bar, preparing butterbeer, and casually asked Professor McGonagall for information. This was also a professional habit of a bar owner.

"There's no way," Professor McGonagall sighed. Since it wasn't a secret, she told Tom directly, "It's hard to find a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. This year, there's another...well...special one. Troublesome guy."

"Butterbeer for two."

Old Tom placed two glasses filled with golden liquid with a thick layer of foam floating on the top in front of Professor McGonagall and Fish, and then subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

In his impression, Professor McGonagall rarely gossiped behind other people's backs. Since she said so about the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, he was basically a troublesome guy.

"It looks like the students at Hogwarts will not be too happy this year."

Old Tom sighed loudly and did not continue to inquire about who the other party was.

Enough is enough, this is also a skill that a qualified bar owner must master.

The talk of adults did not appeal to Fish at all, and he was sipping the butterbeer in his glass. The previous incident of drinking chicken blood brandy fragments still made him interested in the "magic potion" of wine. Maintain a certain degree of awe.

Because the top layer of foam always stuck to the cat's whiskers, Fish had to put the whiskers back after trying several times.

Although the white foam had no taste, it had an aroma, and the taste in the mouth was weird and interesting. Fish first took a small sip, then stuck out his tongue and tried to lick them up.

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of tasteless foam, Fish picked up the cup and gently poured the golden wine below into his mouth.

As a low-alcohol alcohol that can be sold to little wizards, butterbeer tastes closer to a drink, with a toffee-like sweetness.

At the same time, it also has the essential aroma of alcoholic drinks, but compared with the chicken blood wine that Fish originally drank, the aroma of butter beer is much lighter.

After taking a few sips, Fish was very satisfied with the taste of the butterbeer, and he didn't seem to have lost his memory like before...

Feishu has really grown up!

With this thought in mind, the little kitten stopped being cautious. He held the wine glass with both hands, raised his neck, and swallowed the wine in large gulps.

"Gudonggudonggudong...ha!" (●`Д●)

After boldly drinking down the butterbeer in the cup, Fish reached out and wiped a handful of foam standing near his lips, letting out a cheerful sigh.

"Minerva! This wine is delicious, meow!"

Feishu's voice became louder involuntarily. He slapped the table and shouted: "Fishu wants to drink...burp!" (●`Д●)

The little cat burped and screamed loudly.

The unruly expression matched with his chubby and red face made him look extremely cute.

"It seems that Mr. Mag's drinking capacity is not very good."

Old Tom, the culprit, said with a smile.

Professor McGonagall glared at him with a dark face, and then pressed down Fish's waving little hand.

"You are already drunk, you can't drink any more!"

"Feixu is not drunk, meow! I'm awake...burp!" (●ΦДΦ●)

As if to prove that what he said was true, Fish stood up unsteadily, and then raised the stool under him high.

"Look! Feishu is not drunk!"

Fish shook the stool in his hand and argued loudly.

I don’t know how he got the relationship between the two involved.

After lifting the stool for a while, Fish suddenly threw it aside, and then looked at Professor McGonagall with confused eyes, "Minerva... Hiccup! Why did you become two cats?"

Then, without waiting for her answer, Fish hugged his head and howled, "Fish's head is so dizzy, meow! Minerva~ Fish is poisoned, meow! Meow, oh, oh - burp!" (●QДQ● )

Fish said and began to cry loudly.

Professor McGonagall could only pick him up with laughter and tears, and while rubbing his head, he softly comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, you are just drunk, not poisoned."

Just when she was about to ask Old Tom for a sobering potion, Fish shivered violently, and her originally hazy green eyes suddenly regained their clarity.

"Don't be dizzy, meow!"

Fish blinked, and then looked at the empty wine glass on the table very carefully.

"Wine is terrible, meow! Sure enough, Fei Xu is still too young now!" (ˇˇ)

He now fully believes what Professor McGonagall said that you have to grow up to drink, because the first time he was drunk he had no memory. Now that he has grown up a little, he can retain his memory, but he will become dizzy. Huhu, very uncomfortable.

Professor McGonagall looked at Fish speechlessly, who was facing a formidable enemy, and did not explain much. At least for a long time in the future, she would not have to worry about Fish sneaking away to drink.

In my memory, some HP fans wrote that Hannah was Old Tom's daughter or granddaughter.

But I didn't find any clues that proved that Hannah Abbott was the child of the owner of the Leaky Cauldron. Harry went to the Leaky Cauldron several times and never met Hannah.

You must know that after Hannah and Neville got married, Neville has been living in the Leaky Cauldron, so if the above hypothesis is true, Hannah is unlikely to live elsewhere.

Then I checked the information about the Leaky Cauldron and found that the previous owner's surname was not Aibo, so the Leaky Cauldron probably wasn't inherited from the family and was most likely owned by Hannah after she graduated.
