Hogwarts Food Master

The coffee tasted terrible. The beans were not ground well and the residue was not filtered. It tasted bitter and astringent, not smooth at all, but Harry drank it clean.

He was originally in a very uneasy mood, but suddenly Wang Chao came and the sky suddenly became bright. Harry then remembered that he had not eaten for two days and relied on snacks with little nutrition. As soon as he relaxed, his appetite came back and it was unpalatable. The sandwiches have also become more delicious. Although the coffee still tastes bad and is uncomfortable in the mouth, it makes people feel comfortable after drinking it.

Looking at the people coming and going outside the window, Harry quickly realized the problem. Many students were accompanied by their parents and had already set off before eight o'clock, a full hour before the train departure time. However, there were also some who looked leisurely, such as that day The proud wizard boy I met in the clothing store was walking slowly, accompanied by his parents. He had a blond hairdo at a young age, and his eyes looking around were full of disdain, as if he were a phoenix. Wizard children are nothing but a bunch of chickens.

"Do you know that kid? If I'm not mistaken, it should be Lucius Malfoy. This guy is the worst. He was a loyal believer of Voldemort... the mysterious man." Wang Chao looked at Malfoy coldly. The Fo family said.

"It doesn't matter to me, you can name it," Harry said.

"Name? What name?" Wang Chao said with some confusion.

"It's the mysterious man Voldemort. I know wizards are very taboo about mentioning this name, but I'm not afraid of him, and I know you are not afraid of him either. We can mention his name." Harry said firmly.

"Oh, you said this...the name Voldemort did bring misfortune to people back then. You can't blame them. Something happened to me back then."

Harry's eyes lit up behind his spectacles, and he asked eagerly, "What happened? Can you tell me?"

Wang Chao scratched his head and took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was now 7:45 in the morning. Based on his knowledge of London magic taxis, he conservatively estimated that he would be 10 minutes late. If there was enough time, he could chat for a while and let Harry know. Have a slight understanding of the dangers of the magical world.

"I was still very young at that time, not much older than you, but the wizarding world was in a state of chaos caused by Voldemort and his Death Eaters. People were assassinated anytime and anywhere. Attacks on Muggles happened every day. Death Eaters infiltrated In all aspects, even the Ministry of Magic is not immune, and everyone lives in fear every day. Although Voldemort did not launch a wizarding war, everyone knows that it will happen sooner or later, and this time the Ministry of Magic of various countries will no longer be united."

Harry was still too young to understand political matters. He asked doubtfully, "Since the threat from Voldemort is so great, why can't the Ministry of Magic unite?"

Wang Chao took a sip of coffee and said, "I think the infiltration of Death Eaters is on the one hand. Ever since Grindelwald launched the first Wizarding War, the wizarding world was afraid that it would happen again, so it adopted a policy of weakness and compromise towards Voldemort. , people from the Ministry of Magic in various countries secretly contacted Voldemort, hoping that his power could attack their enemies instead of disturbing themselves. Voldemort took the opportunity to ask for a lot of benefits. Some people say that this is called appeasement policy. As long as he sacrifices a little benefit, it will be enough. Let Voldemort fight with his enemy, and in the end both Voldemort and the enemy will suffer losses, so they can reap the benefits."

Harry nodded and said, "Just like the history of World War II written in history books, this is how the Greek leader rose."

"Who?" Wang Chao asked, tilting his head.

"The Head of State... is a figure in Muggle history. He is very famous... Oh, forget it. In short, the appeasement policy is not good. Let's talk about the dangers you encountered."

"I was young and energetic at that time. I got a little drunk when I was drinking with my friends, so I scolded Fang Qiu and mentioned Voldemort while bragging. I remember my friend said that if Voldemort fell into his hands, he would kill him. Voldemort's wand and all that... Anyway, we just wanted to give him a good look, and within an hour, we were attacked."

In fact, his friend said that he wanted to put Voldemort's wand through his anus, but Harry was still a child and shouldn't hear such filthy words.

"What happened next? Are you okay?" Harry got into trouble for a second and asked nervously.

Wang Chao rubbed his temples and said, "How could everything be okay? The leader of the Death Eaters was that crazy woman Bella. She released the killing curse as soon as she appeared. My friend died before he could even scream. Bella He turned around and cast the Cruciatus Curse on me. Fortunately, I drank a lot and had some resistance to the pain, but the taste was still too terrifying, but I still survived the first wave of pain and knocked Bella away with my backhand."

Harry said angrily, "This crazy woman is so hateful. What happened next? Did you kill her instead?"

"Resist? I was only a teenager at the time, and I couldn't even defeat Bella, not to mention she had two Death Eaters with her. After I beat Bella away, it might have been the effect of alcohol. I was very courageous. , when the two Death Eaters came over, I threw the fire directly over, burning one Death Eater to death on the spot, and the other one used magic spells to fight the fire. At this time, Bella came again, and I ran While fighting back, I ran to the woods. While Bella was distracted, I threw a small fire into her hair, and then I escaped. Now think about it, if Bella hadn't underestimated me, I would have He will be killed on the spot just like his friends."

This was not modesty. Bella saw that he was just a drunken boy and did take him seriously. She used the Cruciatus Curse instead of the Killing Curse, otherwise Wang Chao would definitely be dead.

Harry touched the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead and asked softly, "What does the Killing Curse look like? They all say that I am the Boy Who Lived, but I don't know anything. I only remember that there is An evil voice, and a green light..."

"The green light is the killing curse," Wang Chao sighed and said, "It is a very quiet spell, as if there are hurried footsteps passing by the ear, and then the person is gone. There is no way to remedy it. The person who is cursed will definitely die. There has never been an exception. Since the invention of this horrible spell, there has been only one person in the world who has survived in ancient and modern times, and that is you. Your parents were killed to protect you. This is your misfortune, but with thousands of people like me Compared with people who died inexplicably like your friends, you are lucky. From now on, you just need to study hard, live a good life, and don't let down the people who love you."

"No problem! I will definitely become an outstanding wizard student!" Harry raised his head, his face filled with sunshine.

As soon as they chatted, time passed very quickly. Wang Chao took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was already 8:16. He was about to go to Tom to ask what was going on. The door of the Leaky Cauldron was pushed open by someone. A man with a deer-like head and a funny hat walked in.

"Tom, who do you want me to pick up? Are you in such a hurry?"

Wang Chao and Harry stood up together, walked to the door and said, "It's us. How is the road condition? Can you get us there on time?"

The taxi driver squinted his eyes and looked Wang Chao up and down and said, "It's hard to say. The road conditions are not very good."

Wang Chao didn't waste any time. He took out a Galleung and threw it over and said, "We are all old neighbors in Diagon Alley. Stop doing all that nonsense. We will be at King's Cross Station in 10 minutes."
