The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Privet Drive is a standard British community. Although it is small and well-equipped, there are naturally fast food restaurants. At the corner of Privet Drive, there is a chain of fast food restaurants.

Harry rarely went here to eat fast food, and the reason was simple: no money. Harry didn't have spare money to spend on fast food. Although the Dursleys were mean in the past, food was always easy to come by, and he didn't crave it.

But it's different now. The fact that the Dursleys couldn't provide for Harry's most basic food needs, and the fact that he happened to have a few brand-new banknotes in his trouser pockets, was a silent billboard.

The banknotes sent to him by his godfather and friends made his pocket bulging. Harry had never been so rich.

He sat on the bed, and a sizzling barbecue steak seemed to appear in front of his eyes.

"How happy it would be to cover the steak with cheese, then put it on a bun with lettuce, pickles, and salad dressing, and then serve it with a side of French fries and a glass of iced Coke!" Harry had an idea in his mind. Growing like weeds.

He could no longer control his heart, opened the window, looked around, and when no one was paying attention, he climbed down the window sill.

Harry was not a reckless person. He had already planned his return route before turning out. He just saw that the window of the living room on the first floor was open. He could climb in through the window after eating fast food. Even if you are caught, you can use the excuse that you are going to the toilet. If you don't want to walk through the living room, you can also crawl back the same way while holding the drain pipe. Harry even brought his own invisibility cloak just in case.

After turning it out, Harry quickly headed to the fast food restaurant. Along the way, he walked faster and faster, walking as fast as flying. A few minutes later, he stepped through the door of this shop that specializes in burgers.

The Dursleys would never take him out to eat, nor would they choose this corner fast food restaurant, so this was Harry's first time entering the restaurant.

The store is small, with only a dozen tables arranged around the zigzag bar. The few customers huddled inside the store, enjoying the free air conditioning.

Behind the counter is a huge oven, with a large skewer of fragrant Turkish barbecue hanging inside. Rotate the roast slowly so that all sides are cooked evenly. Next to the oven is a huge iron plate where the staff prepare the dishes. On the glass counter, there are several sauce bottles, several boxes filled with vegetables, and of course, a variety of breads and desserts.

Above the bar, there was a dazzling menu, which made Harry feel dizzy. If you are not a native English speaker, your scalp will go numb the first time you see it.

"Hello!" The enthusiastic waitress came to the cashier with a smile and said hello to Harry.

“Dine in or take away?”

"Bring... dine-in!" Harry originally wanted to take it away, but considering the strong smell of fast food, he was afraid that the residents inside would be awakened as soon as he entered the Dursley's house, so he gave up this idea and chose Eating out is a waste of time.

"Dine in...what would you like to eat?" The waitress poked a few times at a machine.

"Uh..." This question stunned Harry. He had never been to a fast food restaurant like this before, and he couldn't make a choice for a moment while looking at the menu on the wall.

Fortunately, the waiter could give him some advice: "Turkish BBQ buns are very popular. The set menu only costs three pounds, and you can add a drink for 50 pence. If it's a super BBQ buns set, you need to add an extra two pounds."

Harry is happy. When he was born, the British currency system had been reformed, abolishing the previous troublesome system and changing it to a more intuitive system. Initially, the currency units of the pound were shillings and pence, with 1 pound equal to 20 shillings and 1 shilling equal to 12 pence. However, on February 15, 1971, the Bank of England implemented a new currency rounding system, and the unit of minor currency was changed to new pennies, with 1 pound equal to 100 new pennies.

All I can say about this reform is thank God and praise the banks!

According to the waiter's introduction, Harry only needed to pay 5.5 pounds to buy a super set meal. Harry paid without hesitation.

"Lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, mayonnaise and ketchup, plus ice cola thin fries?" After the waiter confirmed it, he typed out an order for Harry. After he paid the money, Harry could go and wait for the food to be served.

Harry chose a table in the corner and sat down. This location is good because there is a small partition to block other people's view and make it more private.

Not long after we sat down, the waiter came over carrying a plastic dinner plate. When Harry saw the dinner plate, he was shocked. He didn't expect the legendary super set meal to be so huge! The forear-long bun is stuffed with barbecued meat, and a few slices of vegetables are also inserted into it. The barbecue squeezed the bread out of shape and bulged out like a hill. There was a pile of chips and a tall glass of iced Coke on the side.

This is much more exciting than a hamburger! How can a hamburger's palm-sized steak compare to this mountain of meat?

Harry felt the whole table shake as the dinner plate was placed on the table.

Smelling the aroma of grease emanating from the set meal in front of him, Harry couldn't bear it any longer and started to feast.

Proteins, fats, sugars and calories, these things that are deeply imprinted in human DNA, were laid out in front of Harry without any concealment. No one can resist such temptation.

Just when Harry finished most of the meat buns, there was a familiar sound of a car engine outside the store. Harry raised his head alertly. Sure enough, he saw Uncle Vernon's car parked across the street.

Harry was startled, and immediately took out the invisibility cloak from his arms, put it on his body, and hid the plate in front of him.

The next second, Uncle Vernon pushed open the door and entered.

The call Uncle Vernon received in the morning was indeed from a colleague, but when he finished handling the company's affairs, he had already missed his meal. Therefore, Uncle Vernon's car drove uncontrollably outside this fast food restaurant.

He never imagined that his good nephew was sitting in the store!

"Super turkey meatloaf, plus an extra portion of barbecue, a Coke, and a bottle of beer - all on ice." Uncle Vernon's appetite was much larger than Harry's, so he ordered more, which was enough to satisfy his appetite. Got two dinner plates.

Coincidentally, he also took a fancy to Harry's "Feng Shui throne". So, without knowing it, my uncle and nephew sat at the same dining table.

Harry tried hard to hold his breath and control himself not to make any sound.

"It smells so good!" Uncle Vernon sniffed and sighed, "This is life!"

He smelled the aroma of the super meat buns in Harry's arms. But it did not arouse Uncle Vernon's suspicion: Isn't it normal for the aroma of barbecue in a barbecue restaurant? He just felt that he had eaten "grass" for too many days and became too sensitive.

But before Uncle Vernon's food was delivered, the store door was pushed open.

A familiar voice came over.

"A super turkey meatloaf, extra barbecue, iced Coke, two, no, three donuts."

It was Dally's voice, and he also slipped out while Aunt Petunia was taking her lunch break.

Harry: (ノ￣▽￣)Happy.

Uncle Vernon: (f*ck*)

Dali was also unlucky. The fast food restaurant was open on the corner of the street. As long as he took a few more steps and turned around, he would see his father's car parked outside, but he didn't.

So when he was looking for an empty seat with an iced Coke in one hand and a donut in the other, he saw his father sitting on the chair with a stern face, his whole face turned the color of liver. It's very interesting that Harry, Vernon, and Dally all chose the same table for some unknown reason.

This coincidence of heart-to-heart connection between father and son could not extinguish Uncle Vernon's anger. His roar almost tore off the roof of the fast food restaurant.

Harry grinned as he listened to Uncle Vernon's roar. It wasn't until this moment that he really felt like he was spending his summer vacation.

After finishing writing in the evening, I felt hungry and cooked a pot of noodles... Emperor Ha, you have done many evil things. You are such a sinful Erha!
