Chapter 239: Gathering at the Leaky Cauldron
Zhang Xiao sat in his seat, holding back his laughter.
Malfoy combed his hair into the style of Ponyboy in Hong Kong movies.
Keep arranging your clothes in front of the mirror.
"Zhang, how do I look?"
Malfoy turned around and raised his face slightly, still with the same arrogant expression.
"Cool!" Zhang Xiao felt that his masseter muscles were sore, and he secretly pinched his thigh with his other hand.
During the period of bed rest in Pengcheng.
Malfoy almost always watched the video tapes, watching those classic Hong Kong movies over and over again.
I don’t know what the reason is, but he particularly likes Fa Ge, especially the two movies "A Better Tomorrow" and "God of Gamblers".
He calls himself Brother Ma directly.
By the way, Malfoy’s Chinese name is Ma Tianlong. (Draco - Draco)
However, thanks to these movies, Brother La's understanding of firearms has been greatly enhanced.
He seriously discussed with Zhang Xiao the idea of hiding two pistols under his robe, a cane and a pistol.
Zhang Xiao expressed his support and solemnly recommended several quite good pistols, such as Glock 18.
After getting Zhang's approval, Malfoy finally finished dressing up with satisfaction.
He was wearing a long summer windbreaker with a tie on the shirt underneath, and his light blond hair was styled into a 28-part back style.
He didn't know where he got a pair of sunglasses, and they stuck on his eyes:
"Let's go, Zhang."
Zhang Xiao felt that the smile that he had suppressed with great difficulty emerged again, and he hurriedly lowered his head and coughed twice strategically.
"Okay, little brother."
The two of them found a quiet seat, where they could see the main entrance.
Malfoy had taken off his sunglasses - it was too dark in the lobby of the Leaky Cauldron.
Moreover, his rather serious dress was slightly out of tune with the atmosphere of the entire bar.
The two ordered a non-alcoholic soft drink, chatted and waited.
But during this process, his eyes kept drifting towards the door of the bar unconsciously.
"There is really no wizard-like elegance or etiquette in Potter.
Doesn't he know that it is very rude to make others wait? "
After waiting for less than ten minutes, Malfoy became a little anxious and couldn't help but start complaining.
But in fact, everyone only agreed on a date but not a time.
"Draco, so you think Harry is your friend now? Where's Hermione? Where's Ron?"
Zhang Xiao finally couldn't help it anymore. The waiting time was indeed boring, so he might as well tease Brother Doula.
Malfoy's face immediately turned red, he hummed heavily, and then said exaggeratedly;
"Ha-I'm friends with him? Impossible!
We - we're just members of a community, well, that's it. "
In fact, the faint blush on his face has almost spread to his ears, and he is still arguing forcefully:
"Granger - Granger is a little clever. I just admire guys with good minds, because it will be very difficult to communicate with idiots - such as Weasley."
Don't tell me, Zhang Xiao just likes to see Malfoy being tough.
Time passed quickly in this chat. The door of the Leaky Cauldron was pushed open, and Hermione and the Grangers walked in from the outside.
Hermione spotted the two people in the corner almost as soon as she came in. She ran over directly, gave Zhang Xiao a big hug, and said hello to Malfoy.
“It’s so great to meet you!
I was bored all summer, and I made a mistake and read several books I purchased from Flourish and Blotts in just one month.
I wanted to write to you, but found that I didn't have an owl.
but"
Hermione lowered her head and checked her wallet and said, "My birthday is in September. My mother and my father gave me some money and asked me to buy myself an early birthday present.
I'm thinking about buying an owl. "
Malfoy's eyes flickered, and he nodded thoughtfully.
Mr. and Mrs. Granger came over. Even though it was already their third year, the couple were still a little nervous.
"Good morning, Mr. Granger, ma'am."
Seeing Zhang Xiao and Malfoy, who was very neatly dressed, he breathed a small sigh of relief:
"Hello, children, Hermione has been talking about wanting to start school as soon as possible, even on vacation, she can't stop talking about you."
Hermione's face immediately turned red, and she shook her fluffy hair coyly:
"Mother!"
While several people were talking, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley came over from the patio with their children.
A group of children chattered about interesting things during the summer vacation, while the adults chatted casually.
When Sirius, who was very fashionably dressed, arrived with Harry.
The atmosphere at the scene finally reached its peak.
"Harry, how was your summer vacation?"
Harry's face had an unprecedented radiance, his hair was fixed with hairspray, and he was no longer wearing the same T-shirt.
He looks like a very trendy British handsome guy:
"Awesome! I never thought summer vacation could be this awesome!"
He excitedly talked about how Sirius played with him throughout the summer vacation.
It's like going to an amusement park that I've never been to before, riding a bike around the city, and going shopping in big shopping malls.
Play electric all day long.
Ron was envious with longing:
“Wow man, this is so cool, can I come over next vacation?
I mean - I also want to try the Muggle way of vacation. "
Harry grinned very happily, he patted his friend's shoulder:
"Of course no problem! Sirius is the best godfather in the world!"
He shouted to Black who was chatting with the Weasleys and Grangers:
"Hey! Sirius, Ron also wants to try our vacation!"
Sirius raised his head, showed him a handsome smile, and made an OK gesture:
"You have the final say, Harry! I support you unconditionally."
Harry turned his head and raised his eyebrows to his friends, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
"Is it too late for me to find a godfather now?" Ron muttered, and then he was attracted by the summer vacation life described by Harry, and exclaimed from time to time.
"Ahem." Malfoy coughed twice, attracting the attention of others.
Slowly said: "This summer I went to China, Zhang's hometown. "
Sure enough, his words immediately sparked a heated discussion.
"Really? You went to China?"
"Malfoy, is it fun there? Legend has it that the East is very mysterious."
Some people went directly to Zhang Xiao:
"Zhang, can I go to China to play?"
"I want to go too!"
Faced with his friends' inquiries, Malfoy just maintained an unfathomable expression, and used suggestive words to describe it as a "quite wonderful", "exotic", and "memorable" trip.
He never mentioned that he had been lying down for a week due to acclimatization and had done almost nothing.
Finally, the adults finally made a decision.
Sirius led the children to Diagon Alley to buy necessities, and Mr. Arthur Weasley did the same as last year.
He still insisted on treating the Grangers for a drink.
But Zhang Xiao felt that Mr. Arthur was not interested in the wine - he was very, very curious about the dental equipment.
"Oh - you mean you just pulled out the bad teeth and put a fake one in? Oh my God! How did you do that? "
Before leaving, Zhang Xiao heard Mr. Arthur staring with curious, sparkling eyes and humbly asking questions.
The weather at the end of August was very good, the sky was as blue as forget-me-nots, and a few cotton-like clouds dotted it.
Diagon Alley was as lively as ever.
Some restaurants set up colorful parasols at the door, just like bright flowers.
Pedestrians in groups of three or two sat on chairs holding iced lemon juice and chatting loudly.
Those Aurors were obviously a little bit overwhelmed, and the handsome uniforms were useless except for sweating more.
So the old birds like to wear the clothes they are used to.
Sirius nodded slightly, and the sunglasses stuck in his hair slid down, just right on his straight nose.
Looking unusually handsome and chic:
"Boys!"
Hermione and Ginny stared at him dissatisfiedly.
Sirius smiled at her apologetically, and added:
"And girls!
Then let's start today's shopping trip!
Let me see - how about going to Madam Malkin first? Harry's height has grown a lot.
It was the same when I was in school. Sometimes even the newly bought robes would become much smaller in less than a year. "
Ron raised his hand and pointed at the sunglasses he and Harry were wearing, and even Malfoy had them:
"Do you have this one? I want to try it too."
Zhang Xiao thought about it, took out his sunglasses from the Qiankun bag, and pointed with his wand:
"Duplicate"
The sunglasses shook twice and suddenly split into two like a split spell.
"Duplicate" "Duplicate"
"Okay, one for each person" Zhang Xiao distributed the sunglasses in his hand to everyone.
Soon, several children wearing sunglasses appeared in Diagon Alley, and behind them was the equally free and unrestrained Sirius Black.
"Then. Let's go!"
"Yes, Godfather~! "
They bought new school uniforms as planned, and Sirius's estimate was correct.
Almost everyone's school uniforms were one section smaller, about three or four inches.
Zhang Xiao has always been curious why wizards don't develop a spell that can modify the size of clothes.
Sirius went to buy a few ice creams.
After taking them out of Madam Malkin's clothing store, they found that many people suddenly gathered around the Quidditch boutique not far away.
Harry, Ron, and Malfoy looked at each other, and they saw the curiosity in each other's eyes.
Immediately squeezed in there.
Then they saw a broom on a newly erected pedestal. It was the most beautiful and amazing broom they had ever seen in their lives.
"Just came out... sample broom" a wizard with a square chin told his companions.
"Firebolt!"
