"Welcome! Happy Christmas Eve!"
As soon as I walked in, a lifelike parrot standing on a shelf said hello in old Cockney English.
Although the appearance looks no different from a real bird, Zuo Si still uses the eye of knowledge to recognize that it is a gadget made through a transformation spell.
In fact, things like this, such as pots that brew tea and coffee by themselves, brooms, mops, and brushes that can automatically clean, are quite common in wizards' homes and the shops they open.
Due to the long-term peaceful environment, the magic of this world has gone very far in providing entertainment and convenience for daily life.
There are many small objects that Zuo Si will inevitably have a very amazing feeling when he first sees them, and he admires the maker's imagination and imagination.
Of course, there are also some works with hidden safety hazards and dangers.
Passing the parrot made with a transformation spell, the two quickly walked to a table by the window and sat down.
Immediately afterwards, a waitress in a gorgeous robe came forward with elegant steps, put down a menu with magic effects, and said with a smile: "You can order whatever you want to eat. You can order it in one minute at most."
The dishes that arrive will appear on the table."
"Thank you."
Zuo Si had already seen the way of serving food at Hogwarts, and understood that this was also the use of daily life spells. He immediately turned the menu in his hand and handed it to Isadora.
"Here, you can choose what you like to eat. But remember not to order any alcoholic drinks."
"Okay."
The girl nodded slightly excitedly, staring with two big curious eyes, scanning around the moving and fragrant photos.
Whenever she likes a dish, she stretches out her finger and clicks on the price mark above.
Instantly!
A steaming delicious dish appeared on the table out of thin air.
Although Isadora had seen many spells that could be used in daily life when she was in the Mage Tower, this was the first time she had experienced such convenience and thoughtfulness.
After a while, the table was densely covered with all kinds of delicacies.
It has to be said that compared with traditional British dark cuisine, French and Italian cuisine are significantly better in terms of taste and visual effects.
Especially small desserts such as panna cotta and caramel pudding, which are obviously very suitable for girls.
After eating, Isadora beamed with joy, and her red face was filled with a smile of surprise and happiness, which was completely different from her usual taciturn look.
It was rare for Zuo Si to completely relax. While enjoying the food and drinks, he smiled and chatted wordlessly with the girl in front of him.
But this warm moment did not last long.
As a familiar figure walked in from outside, he immediately showed a surprised expression.
Because the other person is none other than Severus Snape, the Potions Professor at Hogwarts.
Behind him was an old man with gray hair and beard.
Due to the small size of the restaurant, Snape quickly noticed Zuo Si who was dining, and immediately stepped forward and asked in a slightly puzzled tone: "Sos, why are you here?"
"I just went to the post office to deliver the Christmas gifts, and I took my friends here for a casual meal." Zuo Si replied very calmly.
"Ah! I forgot that you didn't buy your own owl. Also, who is this?" Snape turned his attention to the girl.
Although his eyes could scare the freshmen at Hogwarts out of their wits, they had no impact on Isadora, who had psychic powers and was unusually precocious.
The latter even stood up and bowed gracefully, using the power of magic to introduce himself in slightly stiff English: "My name is Isadora, and I am Soth's best friend."
"Are you a Muggle?" Snape's eyes flashed with curiosity.
"Well, yes." Isadora nodded slightly.
Since Zuo Si had roughly explained the situation in this world on the way here, she understood what the word "Muggle" meant, and she also had no intention of showing her psychic powers and magical power to these strangers.<
/p>
"Interesting..."
Snape didn't know what he was thinking of, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a playful smile.
Zuo Si ignored the other party's meaningful expression and asked directly: "Professor, shouldn't you be staying at Hogwarts Castle at this time to prepare for Christmas? Why did you come to Diagon Alley?"
"It's not just to help you purchase the things on the list." Snape rolled his eyes angrily, and then pointed at the old man behind him. "This is the owner of the Pig's Head Bar in Hogsmeade. He has some special
You can get those rare and precious things through channels. If you need anything in the future, you can consider asking the owl to deliver the letter directly. Of course, the price will be more expensive."
"Hello, young man. I've seen your name in the newspapers a lot recently." The old man smiled and stretched out his right hand.
"Nice to meet you too."
Zuo Si pretended and extended his right hand to shake.
Because when Snape said that the pig head was the boss, he had already realized that the person standing in front of him was Albus Dumbledore's biological brother.
Even if you think with your buttocks, you know that Aberforth's appearance here is definitely not a coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement by the greatest wizard of our time.
It's a pity that the other party didn't know that Zuo Si already knew everything.
After a brief greeting, Snape quickly took Aberforth to sit at another table and began to order and eat, chatting in a very low voice.
After waiting for Isadora to fill her stomach, Zuo Si quickly got up and left with the girl after paying the money, disappearing at the end of the bustling street of Diagon Alley.

Not long after he walked on his front legs, Snape stopped eating on his back legs, picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, and asked expressionlessly: "What was your first impression of Soth?"
"Well... overall I feel pretty good. At least in some aspects he is much better than my brother. At least he is dating a polite and beautiful girl."
Aberforth secretly insulted his brother with a pun.
Because Albus Dumbledore was dating a man, and he was also a dark wizard who caused huge waves in Europe.
Upon hearing these words, Snape's mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably: "You should know that this is not what I meant."
"If you are referring to personality, I don't think it's a big problem. Because in Soth, I don't feel the same eagerness and desire as that person. He is very calm, both mentally and mentally. Such a person may
He will become the second wizard like Albus, but his mind and thoughts will never be distorted by the power of black magic."
Aberforth gave his judgment in an unhurried tone.
In his view, it is impossible for a young man who has received so much praise at this age to maintain a peaceful mind and become as crazy as Voldemort and Gellert Grindelwald.
The most obvious characteristic of the latter two is that when they are young, they often have a strong and impatient impulse.
Not to mention these two people, even Albus Dumbledore was an impulsive and fanatical guy when he was young.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gotten involved with Gellert Grindelwald.
If Ariana's sudden death hadn't caused her to feel intense guilt and self-blame, she might have joined forces with Gellert Grindelwald to overthrow the Secrecy Act and directly establish a world ruled by wizards.p>
Snape nodded slightly: "Actually, my point of view is the same as yours. Soth has intelligence and magical talent that no one else can match. His future is already bright. There is no need to imitate Voldemort or Gellert Green.
DeVoe. It's a pity that Dumbledore's suspicious character always makes him suspicious."
"Hmph! It's not that he's suspicious, it's like he's seeing a better version of himself when he was younger through a mirror, and he's afraid that this young man will make the same mistake as himself." Aberforth snorted disdainfully.
"So...are you trying to judge others by yourself?" Snape raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"That's right. Don't think of Albus as some kind of saint. Apart from the series of honors and halo around him, he is actually just a loser who has lost everything, a poor guy who has been immersed in regret and pain for most of his life.
."
When he said these words, Aberforth's tone revealed naked and undisguised disgust.
If possible, he would rather use everything his brother had in exchange for his sister's resurrection, even if it was just for a day or a few hours.
"Okay, I finally understand how Dumbledore could see through my heart at a glance. It turns out that to a certain extent, he and I are the same kind of people."
Snape picked up the cup with a thoughtful expression, and at the same time, the words that Harry Potter's mother Lily said to him after her death came to mind.
"To be precise, we are all the same kind of people, the kind of poor people who are full of guilt, shortcomings and longing for compensation. Finally, I wish you a Merry Christmas."
With that said, Aberforth raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp, then stood up and left the restaurant without delay.
Snape sat at the dining table for a while until he finished the bottle of wine on the table before paying and leaving.
By the time he reappeared in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, Christmas Eve had passed, and countless students and professors were sitting in the spacious hall on the first floor, enjoying the food and drinks provided 24 hours a day.<
