Harry Potter Reborn

Chapter 129 Buying the Leaky Cauldron!

This tavern is still the same as the one Harry saw last year, nothing has changed.

Dirty, messy, dark, few customers.

There were only two or three people sitting in the corner, with kerosene lamps lit on the wall, making it difficult to see clearly.

Old Tom sat boredly behind the bar facing the door, wiping a bottle of wine. He was very bored.

He was indifferent to a man coming into the bar.

This is not because he doesn't know how to do business, but because of the special nature of the Leaky Cauldron.

The Leaky Cauldron is one of the few channels in the world for people to enter the wizarding world from the Muggle world, and its flow of people can be imagined.

Not to mention that during the days when Hogwarts and other magic schools are in session, during holidays and holidays, there is an endless stream of wizards passing by just for daily life.

But unfortunately, they just passed through, they are not guests of the Leaky Cauldron.

The Leaky Cauldron is famous.

But 99% of the people who pass by it just use it as a springboard to travel between the two worlds.

No one comes here just to eat, drink or stay in the Leaky Cauldron.

Therefore, Old Tom naturally regarded Harry as a passing wizard.

Harry walked over, looked at the dirty wooden table with disgust, and waved his hand, attracting Old Tom's attention.

Old Tom raised his head and saw Harry, and his cheeks trembled with excitement.

Just as he was about to speak, Harry gestured to him not to speak, and he immediately shut up obediently.

The two of them walked to the yard where Old Tom lived alone. Old Tom asked almost flatteringly: "Excuse me, what does Mr. Potter want to see me for?"

Harry got right to the point: "I want to buy the Leaky Cauldron."

After Harry found out how much money his "parents" left him, he had the idea of ​​spending the money.

The Galleons he stored in Gringotts were a lot for any wizard.

If they only work when Harry needs them, then so much money really doesn't make much sense.

So after thinking about it, he thought it would be a good idea to invest part of his money in the Leaky Cauldron.

Harry had long realized that people in the wizarding world had very little economic sense.

There are so many places where you can make huge profits just by improving them.

The Leaky Cauldron is one of them. First of all, it is famous enough, and secondly, the Leaky Cauldron, which functions as a restaurant, bar, and hotel, has the characteristics of making money.

Of course, more importantly, Harry guessed that Old Tom should have the idea of ​​selling the Leaky Cauldron. Otherwise, Harry would not have the idea to sell it.

Because a few years later, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron was changed to Hannah, Neville's wife.

Sure enough, when Old Tom heard Harry's words, he didn't feel reluctant to leave. He was just a little confused and asked, "Excuse me, why do you want to buy this bar?"

"I don't have a home, so I need a home." Harry said a reason that was not a reason. Although this was not the truth, it was not false. Harry could not live in a hotel in the Muggle world forever.

This topic is too heavy. Harry's parents have long since died, and his home was destroyed into a pile of tiles.

Old Tom regretted his bad mouth.

He immediately said: "I wanted to sell this bar a few years ago. I am already very old and want to return to Northern Ireland and retire on a farm in my hometown, but no one has taken over. If you are willing to buy it, I will

I can sell it to you at a low price.”

Harry declined Tom's kindness, otherwise it would always feel like he was squeezing an old man's hard work.

"Can you help me contact some decoration companies?" Harry asked.

After solving the problem, Tom looked much more relaxed: "Of course."

This renovation is Harry's top priority. Whether he can turn the Leaky Cauldron into a tall and popular hotel depends on what Harry can turn the hotel into.

Now that it was confirmed that he would buy the Leaky Cauldron, Harry immediately signed a contract with Tom.

Tom didn't expect that something that had been on his mind for so long would suddenly be solved.

He still needs to say goodbye to many friends, the things in the bar have not been cleared away, and he still needs to contact the magic decoration company.

The two of them decided to meet again in a few days, leaving Tom to deal with various things.

…

After Harry returned to the hotel, he considered what to do next.

Having a bar is just the foundation. There are more things to consider later, such as brand new furniture, future bar purchases, food and accommodation management, and the key is the recruitment of service personnel.

Harry doesn't want to recruit wizards, he wants to recruit Muggles. Because wizards' thinking is too limited, and Muggles are always accepting new ideas outside, which can bring real changes to the bar.

What he wants is to build the Leaky Cauldron into a wizarding culture on the surface, but at the core it is the service style of modern people.

He believed that wizards would like this, because it was the inevitable development of the times, but Harry had brought it forward.

However, recruiting Muggles is a bit complicated.

Because the Ministry of Magic has long stipulated that the Muggle world cannot be made aware of the existence of the magical world.

Once an accident occurs, the Ministry of Magic must erase the relevant memories of Muggles who are aware of it.

However, in recent times, wizards have increasingly interacted with Muggles.

There are also some wizards who ask Muggles to serve them, which requires them to sign a contract with magical effects. The most important clause of the contract is that Muggles are not allowed to reveal the existence of magic to Muggles.

While thinking about buying this magical contract from Diagon Alley, Harry wrote to Hagrid again and again.

He is still young, and when he comes into contact with various people, no one takes him seriously, which is inconvenient. He needs an adult to help him.

And Hagrid is a very good candidate. With his size, he can make things easier.

Of course, Dumbledore and Snape can do it too, but can you imagine letting big men like them help you open a tavern?

Harry wrote in a letter that he wanted to buy the Leaky Cauldron, and asked Hagrid to be his spokesperson, and asked him not to forget to prepare food for Dahei.

After writing the letter, call Xiao Hei back and ask him to deliver the letter to Hagrid.

…

Then I walked around Diagon Alley and couldn't find the sale deed.

Because this is still a prohibited item, no one dares to sell it openly.

However, a grocery store owner accidentally reminded: "Maybe, Knockturn Alley..."

Walking through a narrow alley, there is a hidden street, full of chaos and uneasiness, which is Knockturn Alley.

I guess Voldemort would like this atmosphere, but Harry didn't like it.

After asking an old woman, I found the kind of contract that Muggles should sign.

It was very expensive, but Harry could only hold his nose and buy it.
