Chapter 18 Future Arrangements
Leaky Cauldron's room is big or small, Unlike contemporary architecture, it can even be said to perfectly follow the architectural style of a century ago.

But neither the oak furniture nor the old fireplace caught William's attention. His head lost control as soon as he touched the pillow, and when he opened his eyes again, the window was flashed with tape. wearing pink golden light.

"Hey," William subconsciously reached out to block the sunlight, but found his entire arm was numb.

William began to search the room for a clock, wiggling his body stiff from sleeping without undressing all night.

He was lucky this time. Although the hourglass-like object on the table had nothing to do with the alarm clock, when William looked over, the sand still displayed the current time in fluorescent light.

It's nine o'clock, and I've slept so long?

After realizing this fact, the stomach quickly began to protest - since yesterday afternoon, William has only had a cup of hot chocolate.

blunt shut the door of the room, and William rushed downstairs to see if there was any leftover breakfast to fill his hungry stomach, but when he rushed to the bar, the old man Tom was already smiling and placed a small basket of sandwiches in front of him.

"The soup is in the kitchen, I'll bring you a serving later - by the way, eat well, those hangover guys will probably scold them later, don't quarrel with them."

>

Before William could realize it, the upper echelons of the bar had already started yelling, some with a country accent, some in Spanish, some in French, slang words and foreign swearing that he didn’t understand really opened his eyes to William’s eyes. .

He didn't care, he took the food and found a place with slightly better light, and sat down. After about two or three minutes, the scolding upstairs gradually subsided, and at this time Tom held a A big bowl of soup came over and sat down directly opposite him.

"Why are you so tired? I knocked on the door for 3 minutes last night and didn't see you wake up."

"Don't mention it, I'm so happy after that ghost place came out. , I was exhausted and paralyzed as soon as the joy passed, and since yesterday, my stomach is empty and I haven't eaten anything."

William swallowed the last bite of the sandwich in his mouth, and then mumbled speaking of which — - Yuanshen and old Tom are not very familiar, but he has taken over two potion business here, which can be considered a good talk.

As for the fact that he was in Azkaban, William felt that it was not a secret at all in front of a bar boss, but just concealed the difference between him and the original.

After all, having entered Azkaban once, it is normal to become different.

"What's your plan this time? Are you still taking potion's business?"

"Yes, why not? The time has not touched the cauldron, and the success rate is not guaranteed.”

William has not planned to let go of his eating skills. Although he successfully applied for a professorship this time, he has already been a professor for less than a year and left Hogwarts due to an accident. I have no plans, and when the time comes, I still have to rely on potion to make a living?

The label of potion refined by professor potion of Hogwarts can double the price of potion, Defense Against the Dark Arts - no, the potion refined by professor potion of childhood wizard fights, and the name is longer, Can't sell for any money.

Potion refining is a technical job, not like traditional Chinese medicine. After grasping the medicine, apply the medicine and bring it back to fry it according to the doctor's instructions. The potion for public use is better, and the employees of the potion shop will make it every day. Some, complex potions or niche potions are generally entrusted to outsiders to help make them. Famous experts can sign the potion, and everyone can be assured of the medicine efficacy and naturally willing to pay a high price.

William is a wild Potioneer who hasn't made it out yet. Professor Hogwarts will naturally have to go back to his old job after becoming a professor. He doesn't dare to waste a year at Hogwarts. While improving his potion skills, he also It counts as a nod to his future, and pick up the job early so that he will not be blinded in the future, and he will not even have a job in eating.

As for if he finds that he has no innate talent to engage in potion, then consider changing his career - his current impression of the magic world is entirely from the memory of his predecessor, can he still be in a situation where he doesn't know anything Have you arranged everything for the future?

Having that ability, he has already opened the connection point device on the plus sign of the system interface, and he would not dare to change it in the Jinshan knight-errant.

William's reply made old Tom quite satisfied - he didn't have a good relationship with William either. This time I came to ask about the mentality of old people who are used to preaching to youngsters. Since the other party is from Azkaban He still didn't get impatient when he came out of the place, so he would naturally continue to push the potion list to William.

There are a lot of potion lists, but it's not enough to train hairless brat. Hogwarts graduates a batch of new students every year, and there are even people who can boil potions out of poison. That kind of potion is handed in and drunk. Who is the problem?
"Okay, then I'll keep an eye out for you next month. Hogwarts is going to start school next month, and it's estimated that there will be a lot of support potions."

William was stunned for a moment - he Potion's memory has been read a lot, but I really don't understand the jargon of refining potion's list.

But he quickly covered it up with nodded by taking a sandwich. Old Tom didn't have any opinions, and even had some attractive spectacles - the popularity of his own things is not a bad thing for every Boss.

"Okay, you eat first. I'll order some wine. I don't seem to have enough mead. I have to hurry up and place an order in the morning."

Old Tom hehe smiled and walked away from the table towards the bar, and William took the opportunity to quickly recall.

In a few minutes, he figured out what the auxiliary potion was.

It's actually very simple, many First Year new students will receive good news such as you are going to be an elder sister or a big brother when they go home during the Christmas break after entering Hogwarts. After the Fifth Year OWL exam, if your grades are too poor, you will hear similar good news.

The so-called auxiliary potion is basically a thing used to help these situations to be achieved quickly, and there will be an explosive growth in the demand for new students in the month when they enter the school.

But the similar potion William hasn't even learned yet - the ghost knows how many kinds of strange potions there are in Wizarding World. potion can't take part!
The second sandwich was swallowed, William's stomach finally urged him less urgently, and then he had time to taste how the sandwich was made.

The sandwich was mediocre, but the sausage inside had a very strong garlic flavor, which made this stuff up a bit from the barely edible level, but the soup was slightly spicy and sour. It was so appetizing that he couldn't help but use half a slice of bread to dry up the residual soup in the bowl.

Full of food and drink, William stretched with satisfaction - his Diagon Alley journey has officially begun.
