Melee wizards at Hogwarts

After the "unfortunate" accident like Professor Quirrell, Parsifal completely sealed the Earl Gray tea (flammable) and no longer provided it to the outside world. The renovation of the Leaky Cauldron Bar has truly brought out the value of this CBD facade. The bar's business is extremely lively, with 200 and nearly 300 gold galleons coming in basically every day, and his life has become more comfortable.

With a large amount of cash flow in hand, the patience from being a social animal, and a cocktail specially prepared for Mrs. Malkin, Parsifal successfully copied a similar piece of cloth in three days and made it from Morkin. Mrs. Jin got several pieces of parchment with runes recorded there, which she used to learn the enchantment skills.

Throughout August, his life became a cycle of practicing magic and enchantment at home, purchasing raw materials in Soho, and selling drugs at the Leaky Cauldron. Unfortunately, just as Ollivander said, when he studied the spells in the book, he found that his adaptability to the spells was not good.

He hasn't tried the transformation spell yet, but even with an entry-level levitating spell (wingarda), it takes him close to a second to release it.

The duration is even more of a "Schrödinger" process. He must remain connected to the spell at all times or it will fail. As for the "Apparition" used in emergencies at that time, there was not even a clue.

According to common sense, a large number of protective spells are cast on Hogwarts, and only the recognized headmaster himself can use the Apparition spell in the school.

However, what was a relief was that through repeated attempts, Parsifal finally mastered the use of the "strengthening" spell.

——The amount of activated magic power determines the duration.

In other words, it makes it possible to "give me a five-dollar buff". Although the sudden drop in reaction speed and physical strength during the break may be dangerous, it is more feasible after all.

For example, jumping face, violently swinging a sword, and jumping back after a burst of light.

In addition, after staying in the Leaky Cauldron for more than a month, Parsifal also came into contact with many familiar people. The professors in Hogwarts preferred the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade, and he had only seen Professor McGonagall come there a few times.

Hagrid, the gamekeeper, is a regular visitor, but after Parsifal raised the price, his salary was already very tight after supporting the "little" friends in the Forbidden Forest. Every time, he was bored in a corner of the bar holding a bucket of boss Tom. Guzzling brewed rye beer. However, when conditions permit, Parsifal will still give him some drinks.

Moreover, he also discovered that the Leaky Cauldron was definitely not as simple as it looked from its shabby appearance. While he was working, there would be a very dense "poof" sound from upstairs, like the sound of popping bubble wrap. He was convinced from experience. , this is someone constantly coming or leaving through apparation.

In addition, many orders are handed over by the boss Tom and delivered upstairs in person. Occasionally, you can see a tired-looking wizard coming down from upstairs and leaning against the bar to drink. Although he could not recognize the identities of those people, judging from the fear or awe in the wizard's eyes next to them, he could imagine their identities.

"Patsy, Hogwarts is about to start the day after tomorrow. Shall we go to the train station together?"

Parsifal, who was cleaning the wine glass, was interrupted by a female voice. He smiled and raised his head.

School is about to start, and there are fewer people coming and going in Diagon Alley. In addition, it is already dusk. The only people in the store now are Parsifal, Old Tom, and an old wizard wearing a wide-brimmed round hat and smoking a cigarette. .

"Of course, Hannah. I can't carry so many things on the subway alone. What would you like to drink?"

The person who came was none other than "iron de" Hannah Abbott, a rosy-cheeked little girl with blond hair who often wore two delicate braids on the back of her head. She is a relative of Tom, the bar owner, and occasionally visits the store.

Although she knew that she would marry Neville Longbottom later and was a little badger with the courage of a Gryffindor lion, at least for now, she showed more of her badger side. Every time she came here, she would She blinked her sharp eyes and looked at Parsifal with watery eyes, biting her fingers and saying nothing until Parsifal brought a drink and placed it in front of her.

Of course, the little badger always brings some homemade cookies as souvenirs.

"Mojito!"

Hannah's eyes lit up. Parsifal rarely gave her a chance to order.

The mojito she is talking about is a non-alcoholic version of the mixed drink. Add mint leaves and squeezed juice from four lemon slices (half lime and half lemon) into a tall glass, with a little boiled fructose syrup. Fill the cup with soda water and decorate it with small sugar paper umbrellas.

This is a special offer for the little wizards who visit Diagon Alley to purchase supplies for the start of school. Each glass costs 1 galleons, but if the parents purchase other wine at the same time, it will be given free of charge.

Parsifal operated skillfully and finished making the drink in just a moment.

"puff."

A soft sound of disembodiment suddenly sounded at the door. The wooden door was pushed open, and the orange light of the sunset shone in.

"Hannah, I think I need to talk to this Mr. Goblin about some boring things. You sit here for a while."

Parsifal put down the tools in his hands, walked out of the counter, and faced the visitor.

"Mr. Williams, this is Ding Dong. I heard from my subordinates that you have a business worth several thousand galleons to discuss?"

The fairy Jingle took off her hat, put one hand on her chest, and bowed to make a greeting.

"Yes, sit down, please."

Picking up two glasses of water, Parsifal led the goblin to sit on a square table in the corner.

"First of all, I would like to exchange pounds for 100 gold galleons, which is proof that I am a new student at Hogwarts."

Putting the parchment envelope on the table, Parsifal folded his fingers and half stood on the table, looking directly at the other person. This posture was something he learned from some negotiation bosses, and it could effectively enhance his deterrence.

The goblin took the envelope with her long fingers, confirmed the authenticity of the letter, and nodded in approval.

"I think you also know that I have a deposit of more than 4000 gold galleons in Gringotts's vault. In addition to these 100 gold galleons, I want to convert them all into pounds."

"Don't tell me about the ratio of one to five. You and I both know that's unrealistic. This is genuine gold Galleons. I can guarantee you that I am the only one in the wizarding world who would do this."

Putting a finger up to his lips to signal the goblin not to answer hastily, Parsifal continued.

Parsifal personally confirmed that Gringotts exchanged a large amount of pounds for young Muggle wizards every year, and most of them were piled in their warehouses like garbage. Only a small amount could find a place to circulate.

And Parsifal wants to eat them all!
