Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.
03. The "Broken Engagement" Flow? Though Late, It Arrives
Lin Yu never expected that even though he had transmigrated to a magical world full of fantasy, the plot of annulment of the engagement still arrived, albeit belatedly.
Because only Lin Yu can hear the system's voice and access the system space.
Therefore, only Lin Yu stood there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.
He stared blankly at Hermione Granger, who, though still young, was already showing signs of becoming a beauty, yet seemed completely oblivious.
(Because it was a movie character, Lin Yu was able to recognize his identity.)
The Granger family of three exchanged glances.
Mr. Granger kindly asked, "Young man, what can I do for you?"
Lin Yu snapped out of his reverie, coughed dryly, and said in a dry voice, "Um, sir? I actually wanted to ask for directions. I wanted to ask for the location of the Breaking Cauldron Bar."
Lin Yu had been asking around all morning, but no one knew about the Breaking Cauldron Bar, or had even heard of it.
Just now, Lin Yu happened to run into the Granger family while walking on the street.
He suddenly realized that this was little Hermione.
He doesn't know Hermione in this world, but he does know the actress who plays Hermione in the movies.
The little girl has been adorable and beautiful since she was little, and she's easy to recognize.
So Lin Yu mustered up his courage and stopped the family of three, thinking that if it really was Hermione, then he could go to Diagon Alley with them.
This would save him a lot of trouble.
Unexpectedly, a system task was suddenly activated, requiring him to follow the storyline of annulment of engagement.
And another one, 'Hermione Nalan Yanran Granger'? Are you serious?
The system seemed to have heard Lin Yu's doubts and said with certainty, "No matter how much you argue, she is still Nalan Yanran."
Okay, whatever makes you happy is what matters most.
Lin Yu ignored the system and looked at the Granger family in front of him, feeling a little nervous.
If this wasn't Hermione, but rather Emma Watson and her family, he might have started to wonder if he had a dream before he died last night.
Fortunately, Mr. Granger nodded after hearing his question and said, "It seems you are also a new student at Hogwarts. Just yesterday afternoon, a man came to our house claiming to be an employee of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and said that our daughter Hermione could enroll at Hogwarts. He also asked us to go to Diagon Alley through the Leaky Cauldron to buy everything we need. So we are on our way there, and you can come with us."
Mr. Granger is a very good and honest man.
Moreover, Lin Yu discovered through the conversation that Hermione did not receive a letter delivered by an owl, but rather a Hogwarts staff member came to her door in person.
What's going on here?
Lin Yu asked, "Did anyone from Hogwarts deliver mail to your house? I only received the notice from an owl."
Mr. Granger, also unaware of the specifics, invited Lin Yu to join them while explaining, "Perhaps it's because we're an ordinary family, what wizards call Muggles? So they were worried we wouldn't agree to let Hermione go to school, which is why they came to explain in person. That's why we already know about magic. That lady even demonstrated some magic for us; it was truly amazing."
Mr. Granger seemed genuinely surprised, so much so that even now, when he talks about what happened before, his face is still full of astonishment.
Lin Yu didn't press the matter further; after all, they had only just met, and it wouldn't be good to say too much.
The group walked together for a while and soon arrived at the front of a bar.
Lin Yu then realized that the Broken Cauldron Bar was not far from the alley he had been in.
Furthermore, Hermione's father, Mr. Granger, was actually a doctor. In Western countries, doctors and lawyers are considered elite professions and are also considered middle class.
It seems that Mr. Granger drove his wife and daughter to the vicinity to find a place to park, and then encountered Lin Yu on his way here.
What a coincidence! Otherwise, Lin Yu wouldn't know how he found the Breaking Cauldron Bar.
Originally, the Grangers were not allowed to enter the Leaky Cauldron. Without someone to guide them, they wouldn't even see the Leaky Cauldron's entrance from the outside.
But because of Hermione's presence, or perhaps someone had given prior notice?
In short, the four of them entered the Leaky Cauldron bar without any problems.
Although it was a bar, they did not refuse Lin Yu and Hermione, who were children, a visit.
"Another new wizard this year, right?"
Inside the bar, some customers were watching the group with friendly expressions.
Hermione and Lin Yu, in particular, are clearly newcomers.
Just then, a hunchbacked man walked over.
He is the owner of the Leaky Cauldron. Many people don't know his real name, but they all call him Tom.
Lin Yu was still looking up curiously at the environment of the Broken Cauldron Bar. Behind the inconspicuous door was a large dining area with small tables and chairs. Some customers were eating what they had ordered, while others had already picked up their glasses in the morning.
Next to it was a huge fireplace with a roaring fire under a Tudor vaulted ceiling.
Although it is summer now.
In addition, the tavern's interior walls were made of brick, with long wooden beams and tall trefoil windows forming the entire interior structure.
A blackboard displays the Leaky Cauldron's lunch menu, which includes roast suckling pig, game pie, and pickled eel.
Lin Yu swallowed hard, but unfortunately he was short of money. Even if he wanted to try it, he didn't have the money to spend.
However, Lin Yu noticed that only one type of wine was not only free, but also came with a reward? Even a high reward of one hundred Galleons?
"Excuse me, does drinking this 'Ganpu Aged Social Wine' guarantee you 100 Galleons?" Lin Yu asked, pointing to the price list on the blackboard.
He is, after all, an adult, and wouldn't appear too timid or hesitant.
Unexpectedly, a burst of good-natured laughter erupted in the bar.
Someone shouted, "Someone actually wants to try that famous 'Gampo Aged Social Wine'?"
Some people kindly said to Lin Yu, "That liquor was invented by the former owner to thank the former Minister of Magic, Mr. Yurik Gump. However, because it's so hard to swallow, even with a reward of one hundred Galleons, no one could manage to drink a pint. I think you should just give up."
Lin Yu thought to himself, "You have no idea how poor I am." He was just about to say that he really needed the money and that he could give it a try.
The owner, Tom, spoke up, his voice hoarse, "Alright, kid, you're not an adult yet. Have your drink first."
It turns out that minors are prohibited from drinking alcohol. This should be common sense, but Lin Yu forgot that he is a child now.
Unfortunately, they had no choice but to give up.
"It seems I have no choice but to think of other solutions? Or should I just take out a loan?" Lin Yu thought worriedly.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded again, its tone enticing: "You can also complete the task. At worst, I'll give you some extra rewards, like spirit stones? Or... gold?"
