Roast suckling pig, which I haven't had for two years, is still as tender and juicy as I remember.
It can be too cloying to pair with warm Butterbeer.
So Vincent chose the iced cola from the convenience store outside.
"Burp—" I finished the whole bottle in one go, so refreshing!
Hermione seemed to have something to say, but when she saw him take out another bottle, she pursed her lips tightly.
"Would you like some?"
Daphne curiously took a bite.
Sweet, icy, or fizzy?
She fell in love with iced cola.
Hermione was even more speechless.
Consuming too much sugar causes the brain to release dopamine and rapidly increase insulin levels, making people feel happy.
According to Vincent, the so-called unhealthiness is actually due to laziness.
Brush your teeth regularly, exercise regularly, and maintain good eating and lifestyle habits; carbonated drinks are nothing to worry about.
Hermione pushed the iced cola in front of her back.
"Phosphoric acid can affect calcium absorption, leading to osteoporosis and abnormal bone growth."
Vincent smirked. "We're wizards, our tolerance to elements is much higher than that of Muggle."
Once again, I was speechless.
Hermione picked up the cup and took a small sip.
It tastes really good.
After downing half a cup in no time, she also fell in love with iced cola.
Tom, who was carrying the wild game, secretly memorized this magical Muggle drink.
It's time for Leaky Cauldron to introduce some new items.
"Mr. Wayne— " Vernon put his arm around Eric, "Honestly, I never thought this day would come."
Petunia hated everything about magic, and he hated it too, by extension, everything related to it.
Perhaps it was the effect of the alcohol, but he felt that the wizards drinking here were not as scary as before.
"You'll get used to it." Arthur smiled and raised his glass. "Let's go for a stroll in Diagon Alley later, you'll definitely love it here."
Vernon looked toward the mothers' table.
Petunia was chatting and laughing, and it didn't seem like she was faking it.
He looked at Arthur, whose smile was genuine, and seemed to understand something.
The Dursleys may not have truly accepted Harry yet, but they have now accepted magic.
Eric raised his glass to the fathers, "To our families, to the magic of life."
Chris and Lestrange's glasses clinked together with theirs.
This lunch took a long time; they had to add dishes three times.
Tom smiled as he held the long bill.
Leaky Cauldron has never been this lively in a long time.
The key point is that Lestrange was very generous when he paid the bill, leaving behind a money bag full of Gold Galleons without asking any questions.
Judging by the amount, it's over 200 Galleon; that should be enough for another meal.
The afternoon is free time.
The parents were on one side, and the children were on the other.
Fred and George are going to the Magical Joke Shop to buy materials, which are obviously for developing new prank gadgets.
Harry and Ron went to the Quality Quidditch Supplies again; it seems they both really liked the new broom that broke the Rascal Rabbit's record.
Percy was alone in the thrift store, probably looking for something useful for the student council president.
For example, "How to Reach the Pinnacle of Power".
Vincent shivered as he passed by Gu Gu carrying her.
He was just taking a walk and never expected to witness this "horrible" scene.
Daphne, standing next to her, tightened her grip on her younger sister's hand.
Astoria asked curiously, "Sister, do all graduates have to read those kinds of books?"
"No." Hermione glanced quickly at Percy, who was engrossed in his book. "It's just his personal interest."
Ginny nodded in agreement. "That's right, Percy really likes these boring books."
Daphne met her sister's innocent, big eyes.
"Everyone is different; some are good and some are bad. You have to learn to distinguish them."
Astoria looked at Vincent was walking at the front.
He was trying to persuade Gu Gu to get down on the ground and walk around.
"Sister, I think I understand now."
Girls always have endless topics to talk about when they get together.
When Gu Gu finally got down on the ground, Vincent discovered that they were "lost".
After circling Diagon Alley, he picked up the exhausted Gu Gu and finally found them at the Magical Menagerie.
The shop is very small, and the walls are covered with cages.
The air wasn't very fresh, and the environment was quite noisy.
Harry and Ron were there too, apparently there to treat Scabbers.
"How big is this mouse?" the female shop assistant asked, examining it closely.
"I don't know, it used to belong to my brother."
The female shop assistant clicked her tongue, her gaze shifting from Scabbers's damaged left ear to his missing toe on his front paw.
"This mouse must have suffered a lot."
Ron was very aggrieved. "When Percy gave it to me, it was just—ouch!"
Perhaps because he saw Gu Gu, Scabbers crawled back into his clothes.
Vincent blinked his big eyes, indicating that he didn't mean it.
He walked over to the little witch who was petting a cat.
Astoria was holding a round, chubby kitten.
Her eyes were shining; she seemed to really like the blue-eyed Ragdoll cat.
Hermione and Daphne are grooming a cute British Shorthair.
It was probably too comfortable, so it rolled over and exposed its belly.
It was a male cat, no wonder.
Ginny was also petting the cat, but she would occasionally glance at Harry and Ron.
"Finished your walk?" Hermione had just removed her hand from the British Shorthair's belly when a pair of little paws clung tightly to it.
"Yes."
The little one was too clingy, so she had to put her hand back.
Daphne joked, "Why don't you just buy it? Aren't you going to buy yourself a birthday present?"
Hermione's birthday is in September, shortly after the start of the school year.
"No." She shook her head. "This cat is too clingy, and I don't have time to take care of a pet this year."
There are 12 courses in total, including required and elective courses.
"Gu Gu— " Suddenly, the Gu Gu in Vincent's arms flapped its wings and flew away.
It landed on the cage under the roof, facing a large ginger cat with a gloomy expression.
"Meow--"
"Gurgle—"
Just as Vincent was wondering if Gu Gu was going to fall for Hedwig, both little ones turned to look in the same direction.
He followed the gaze and saw that it was Harry and Ron's group.
Perhaps it was Gu Gu's encouragement, or perhaps it was the big cat's suggestion, but the two of them pounced over from the roof.
After two loud "howls," they landed on Harry and Ron's foreheads.
"No, Crookshanks!" the female shop assistant screamed, calling out the big cat's name.
Under the hostile gazes of the two large cats, a frightened Scabbers struggled to jump from her grasp to the ground.
It fell flat on its back, got up, and ran towards the street outside without looking back.
"Scabbers— " Ron howled, tearing the ginger-yellow cat off his forehead.
Harry chased after him.
Ginny hesitated for a moment, then put the kitten down and followed.
Gu Gu flew to the front of Crookshanks, tilting its little head as if expressing doubt.
"Meow!"
"Gu Gu?"
"Meow?"
"Gu Gu".
Crookshanks stopped looking gloomy and nodded somewhat uncertainly.
