After Nagini moved to Hogsmeade, Aberforth did become much more talkative than before.
Sitting and listening to him reminisce about the past, I didn't realize it was already noon.
Hogsmeade was established nearly a thousand years ago, after the founding of Hogwarts.
Its founders were the first students admitted to the school, Hengist of Woodcroft from Hufflepuff.
Originally intended to escape persecution by Muggle, it gradually developed into a village of pure wizards.
The Three Broomsticks, which Sam frequents on his days off, was where he used to live, and before Madam Rosmerta took over, the pub was called "Two Broomsticks."
Gladrags Wizardwear has branches in London and Paris, and in addition to clothes, it also has a lot of strangely styled socks.
Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop is indeed a great place for students to go on weekend dates; basically, everyone sitting together is a couple.
The Shrieking Shack isn't "the scariest haunted place in all of Britain"; you can't get in from the outside because the entrance is actually a secret passage.
The Hog's Head Pub not only has a history of several hundred years, but it was also the headquarters of the Goblin Rebellion in 1612.
Aberforth pointed outside the bar, "It looked just like this when I took over."
No wonder everything was so dirty, and I couldn't get it clean no matter how I wiped it with a rag.
It has a long history and is truly authentic!
Vincent shuddered involuntarily. "Mr. Dumbledore, it's getting late, I should go back."
Seeing his retreating figure as he walked quickly away from the shop, Nagini and Surya's expressions turned strange.
"Albus Dumbledore seems to have said that he has obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness."
Aberforth said with a stern face, "No wonder he always prepares his own cup whenever he comes over."
He suddenly smiled, his face expressionless.
Hog's Head Pub needs renovation.
The Three Broomsticks
Sam, who had been drinking all morning, was already passed out drunk.
Vincent grabbed his head and forced him to drink the entire bottle of the special hangover cure.
Newest flavor: American-style pickles.
"Wow—" Sam, who had just sobered up, had his mouth sealed shut, and what he was about to vomit was swallowed back down.
Rosmerta casually handed over a hot towel. "Mr. Chavez, how are you feeling?"
"Mmm-mmm-mmm—"
Vincent broke the silence spell, and Sam's eyes immediately filled with resentment.
"My dear boss, you always use the same method. Can't you come up with something new?"
"Different tastes, and this is the most efficient way."
This time I'm truly speechless.
Sam thanked Rosmerta and took the hot towel offered to him.
"Fine, it's your birthday today, so I won't hold it against you."
He wiped his face vigorously, then shook his head a few times. "Let's go."
Before going home, Vincent didn't forget to thank her and left all the hangover medicine he had with him.
"Madam, please be sure to accept these."
If you encounter a similar situation again, don't be polite with Sam.
Rosmerta did not refuse his offer. "Mr. Wayne, I will make good use of them."
Forget about being too simplistic and crude; I can't learn that approach.
Sam walked out of the bar looking annoyed.
"Is Mr. Chavez usually like this?"
"No, it was much worse before."
Rosmerta suddenly felt that Vincent in front of her might be the real adult, while Sam outside, with his hands in his pockets and an impatient Sam on his face, looked just like a child throwing a tantrum.
Watching the two Apparition and leave, she looked at the dozen or so small bottles on the table with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
Hangover cures aren't exactly valuable Potions; they're just that their flavors are always quite unique.
4 p. m.
The Daily Prophet has been updated.
The original headline was removed and replaced with the news that Vincent had been elected as the Britain youth representative for Wizengamot.
In addition to praising the Ministry of Magic, Rita, who wrote the press release, also lavishly commended the Ministry's openness and transparency.
"Ah..." Eric yawned, his face expressionless.
This was expected, nothing to get excited about.
The same goes for Evelyn.
The plot unfolds without any suspense, so it's better to revisit the plot holes that Tolkien himself created.
Vincent, the person involved, also didn't think anything of it.
He deserved the title; it was earned through his hard work in winning over Little Tom.
"Ring ring—" The phone rang.
Eric, who was closest, picked up the microphone. "Hello, this is the Wayne family."
Harry? He's here.
Vincent took the microphone.
Harry first congratulated him, then invited him to his birthday party a week later.
"Tonight? No problem, there's plenty of time."
Thank you for the gift. I will definitely be there on time.
July 31st is Harry's birthday, and August 1st is the election ceremony held by the Ministry of Magic.
After hanging up the phone, Eric and Evelyn sat down next to each other.
"Harry's birthday?"
"Inviting our family?"
"Yes."
Following last year's child abuse case, the Dursley's attitude towards Harry has undergone an unprecedented change.
They began to accept him and truly treat him as family.
Of course, it may be related to the Wayne' two visits in January, but at least it can be confirmed that they are sincere.
"What kind of birthday gift should I prepare..."
Seeing his parents' distressed expressions, Vincent went upstairs and brought down a family photo of the Dursley.
Petunia and Vernon are still the same as last year, but Dudley has gained a lot of weight.
If this continues, he'll probably surpass his father's size in a few years.
"How's the gym equipment?" Eric pointed to Harry in the photo, who was noticeably taller than he was during the holidays.
"He still looks very thin, and the Dursley can exercise at any time."
With a strange smile, Evelyn agreed, "That's a good idea. We'll definitely have plenty more to talk about next time we visit."
The environment is very important for a child's growth.
It's a miracle that Harry hasn't developed depression over the years; most other kids would have developed autism.
Since the Dursley have truly accepted Harry, Eric, as their caretaker, has the right to demand a better environment for his upbringing.
The first step is to maintain healthy eating habits.
It was obvious that Vernon and Dudley weren't people who exercised regularly; they were panting heavily after running just a few steps. For Harry, this was practically a form of slow suicide.
"And also send an electronic scale."
Eric also has an obligation to supervise his child's growth at all times in order to ensure a healthy environment for his development.
The Wayne had decided on the gift, and Vincent had a general idea of what to prepare.
As an Alchemists, one should naturally do something different.
He went back upstairs, drew a draft on the paper, and then turned on the boiler and put in unprocessed metal blocks.
Ignite and heat, then add the petals of the Soothing Bloom to remove impurities.
As the shape memory metal was about to take shape, a series of clanging and hammering sounds immediately rang out.
