Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

Astoria paced anxiously downstairs.

It has been a long time since Louis went upstairs to negotiate. The few of them have hardly relaxed downstairs for a moment. Zuko's clerk is also watching them very sensitively. Because of this incident, their business has stopped all day. conduct.

"Then it's settled, Mr. Wiggins."

"Easy to say, easy to say, but I will still trouble Mr. Joko in the future."

The voices of Luis and Zuko came from the stairs, and several people sitting in their seats suddenly stood up, and Astoria was the first to rush to the stairs.

But they found that Luis and Zuko came down from the top talking and laughing, so the atmosphere should not be too harmonious.

"If you still have any questions, just send an owl over."

Zuko's attitude now was completely different from before, and he didn't know what kind of magic Louis had cast. The two of them drank tea together and became extremely friendly.

"No problem at all."

Louis greeted several of his friends, including Li Jordan, who had been watching there. Greeted by Zuko's smiling face, they walked out of the joke shop together.

"So, the matter is resolved?" Fred felt a little confused and couldn't help asking shortly after leaving the house.

"Um."

"And there is a possibility that we can work with him."

"What's the meaning?"

Cooperate with Jokowi? The twin brothers almost jumped with excitement.

As a giant in the magic joke industry, Joko has almost monopolized the entire British market. No magic joke can threaten Joko in terms of sales and quality. If you cooperate with Joko, you will definitely have greater room for growth in your store.

"So, where's my news?"

The sudden appearance of Rita Skeeter really startled the three people including Li Jordan.

"Anyway, you won't report on Jokowi's gray industry." Louis spread his hands, "You may have known that there is someone behind Jokowi. Even if we can't reach an agreement today, you won't make fun of your career. "

"really."

Rita looked at him and walked to the front of the crowd.

"But you promised me you would give me big news."

"In a few months, I will open a magic joke shop in Diagon Alley." Louis responded to her, "At that time, you can get first-hand information about opening the store."

"Joke shop? You have to know that joke shops are now..."

"Don't worry." Louis interrupted her, "That store will definitely become the most famous store in Diagon Alley."

One reason for his confidence is the nature of the joke shop.

The purpose of the magic joke shop is to bring joy to customers. As Voldemort's power grows, the pressure and panic in the hearts of wizards will also increase day by day. However, the joke shop has become the only place where they can forget those emotions. place.

The success of the Weasley Joke House is inseparable from the proper management of the Weasley brothers, but another point is the nature of the Joke House.

Rita Skeeter didn't know where the confidence of the fourteen-year-old kid in front of her came from, but she didn't care. If the store really opened by then, it wouldn't be a loss to get first-hand information.

"Where do we go now?"

After that annoying reporter from the Daily Prophet left, the sky became a little darker, and it was obvious that it was already afternoon time.

"The Pig's Head Bar." Louis said, "Harry and the others asked us to meet at the Pig's Head Bar before, saying they had some secret."

"We were invited too." George pointed to Fred and Jordan.

"Then let's come together, Astoria, are you coming?"

"Yeah." The girl nodded, and she followed Lewis obediently.

They walked into a small road, passed the post office full of owls, turned right, and there was a very inconspicuous small bar at the intersection.

The Hog's Head Bar is in stark contrast to the Three Broomsticks on the other side. There are people coming and going there, but no one cares about this somewhat shabby bar.

A tattered wooden sign hung at the door, with a severed wild boar head painted on it. Blood stains seeped out, making it look extremely miserable.

Several people stood nervously at the door. Anyone who saw this scene would feel frightened. Astoria was even more hesitant to move forward.

"Don't worry, it's just a little shabby here, it's fine." Louis said with relief, "But this is indeed a good gathering point for underground work."

Louis was right, but the place was more dilapidated than they imagined.

They thought this place would be as dark and dark as the Leaky Cauldron at best, but things were neatly organized. But the reality is that it is a small, dark bar that is almost filthy and smells like mutton.

He even suspected that the bar owner Aberforth had no intention of taking care of the bar and just let it fend for itself.

This environment gave rise to many dirty underground transactions, including the fire dragon egg obtained by Hagrid and Voldemort four years ago, although in the end the fire dragon was secretly sent to Romania.

The bar owner, Aberforth Dumbledore, appeared from behind the counter. The lights in the store were dim. Louis could not see the specific appearance of this old man, but he was similar in stature to his brother and had a pair of bright eyes.

On the wall of the bar, there is a picture of a woman. It is the sister of the Dumbledore family, Ariana Dumbledore, who also died in an accident.

"What would you like to drink?" he asked in a deep accent.

"Well, actually we are here to meet friends." Fred lowered his voice and said, "Have you ever seen a boy with glasses, a red-haired boy and a girl come here?"

"There's a bakery inside. Find it yourself."

Aberforth waved his hand and stopped entertaining them, wiping the glass bottle on his own.

"Thanks."

Several people walked inside, and Li Jordan asked his friend a little strangely, saying that he was familiar with the appearance of the owner of the Pig Head Bar, and felt that he was their Principal Dumbledore.

"It's normal for them to look like old men." Louis used the pretense. Aberforth ran the bar here just because he didn't want others to know his identity. "Don't think nonsense, Harry and the others are still waiting."

He vaguely heard what the people in the private room were saying, and then he opened the door.

This is almost the largest private room in the entire Pig's Head Bar, but they are not the first people to come here. Colin and Luna also have several Gryffindor students who are usually close to them, and there are also a few Hufflepuffs. Ernie and Justin, and some Louis, whose names I couldn't tell, but it looked like there were nearly ten people here.

"Louis, Fred, George," Hermione said, "You are finally here."

"Is everyone here? We weren't the last ones to arrive, were we?"

"Ginny and Navi are not here yet, but they will be here soon." Hermione was a little anxious, wondering if Ginny and the others could catch up.

Some Hufflepuff and Gryffindor students frowned when they saw Astoria coming in. One of the boys couldn't help but said:

"What's going on? Isn't it about a secret meeting? Why are Slytherin students here too?"
