A whole plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and a large bowl of borscht were quickly consumed by Harry.

Harry was a little embarrassed when he reacted.

This was not only because he left nothing for Hagrid, but also because John stood aside and watched the whole process.

Hagrid also noticed John at this time. He observed deeper than Harry, so he noticed that John had been staring at his pocket since just now, with a salivating expression on his face while looking at it.

He immediately realized that John might be hungry.

After all, they interrupted John's meal earlier.

"Ha! Do you smell it? What a good boy with discernment!"

Hagrid laughed, put his hand into his pocket, and took out a paper bag.

In the process, another dirty brown bag was brought out.

John's eyes instantly focused on the small bag.

He could feel that the pure magic power was overflowing from this small bag.

In terms of intensity and quantity, the magic power is actually not comparable to Professor McGonagall.

But its superiority lies in its purity.

This is somewhat similar to the magic power in John's second set of magic pool. It has been purified itself, so it is of great benefit to John. It can be directly absorbed and completely converted into his own magic power without any hindrance, and with faster efficiency.

Increase the permanent magic cap and quality of John's first and second magic pools.

Of course, more importantly, this magic tastes great!

Kind of like an iced kola.

Noticing John's gaze, Hagrid's expression also changed.

He quickly put the brown bag back into his pocket and said:

"Wow! I can't give you this! This is an important item that Dumbledore specifically asked me to bring back to Hogwarts!"

Hearing this, John's eyes shone slightly, but he looked away calmly and looked back at the oil paper bag that Hagrid took out.

"That's right! This is food!"

Hagrid opened the oil paper bag with a smile, revealing a few pastries inside, "This is a rock cake made by myself. I noticed that you stared at me for a long time. I believe you must have smelled its fragrance, right?"

Hahaha! Don’t be shy, it’s rare to meet someone who has the same taste as me! Come and try it!”

Rock cake is said to be a cake, but it is actually something similar to a cut cake, with a lot of raisins added to it.

But its appearance is not very good, it looks like a brick.

Harry's expression was helpless and embarrassed.

He didn't understand Hagrid's brain circuit. No matter how stupid John was, he wouldn't fall in love with food that looked so bad.

You know, John is the chef!

And everything John makes is so delicious.

But what surprised him was that John actually took out the wand directly.

"Split into pieces!"

"Click——"

A piece of rock cake was cut directly into four small pieces with regular shapes.

John picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. He bit it first, but when he found it was too hard to bite, he held it in his mouth like candy.

After feeling it for a while, John smiled and nodded:

"The aroma of chocolate is very rich, and the raisins add extra sweetness to the pastry. In addition, due to the compression process, the pastry is very dense, can provide a lot of calories, is not easy to deteriorate, and is easy to store. It is a very good outdoor ration.

.”

"Hahaha--"

Hagrid excitedly pounded the table and laughed wildly, "I knew you must know the goods! Those people in Hogwarts should really listen to what you said. They always say that even dogs are not willing to eat my cakes! Come on!

Come on, don’t be polite and I’ll give it all to you!”

As he spoke, Hagrid pushed all the remaining rock biscuits over.

John was indeed not polite and accepted them all with a smile.

What he said before was not a compliment to Hagrid. Rock biscuits are indeed a pretty good dry food for outdoor use.

With his current appetite, he probably won't feel hungry for a whole day if he eats one piece.

At this time, Harry, who was sitting next to him, was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide.

"You, you... what you just used, was it magic? Are you also a student of Hogwarts? My senior?"

Harry said happily.

He liked John very much, and now he found something in common with John again, which made him very excited.

"Harry, I did receive the admission notice to Hogwarts, but I am not your senior. If nothing else happens, I will be your classmate in the same grade."

"Really? This is great!"

Harry said excitedly.

Then he began to talk about his wonderful encounter today, as well as his curiosity and speculation about Hogwarts.

He had been holding these things in his mind all day, and now he finally got a chance to talk, so he started talking endlessly.

John was not annoyed when he saw this, and kept talking to Harry with a smile, and from time to time he would give him some common sense and interesting facts about the magical world.

This was not difficult at all for John.

Although he had just entered the magical world for less than two months, he had been working in the Leaky Cauldron for the past two months. He listened to the wizards in the pub chatting so much that his ears almost grew calluses.

The three of them chatted for a long time before Hagrid took Harry out of the Leaky Cauldron on the grounds that the train was about to leave.

Michelle, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward and quickly put away the tableware.

This is what she does at the Leaky Cauldron.

Of course, John also helped.

"John, Michelle, come here."

The bar owner Tom's voice sounded. John and Michelle looked at each other, wiped their hands and came to the counter.

Looking at the pair of boys and girls in front of him, Tom's face was full of smiles.

He took out a pile of gold coins, first counted them in front of John and Michelle, and then put them in a bag and pushed them in front of John.

"Your wages are eight galleons each for eight weeks."

As Tom spoke, he pushed out two more gold coins, "In addition, there is your bonus, 1 galleons each."

Seeing this, John's pupils shrank, he scratched his head and said:

"This is too much, Boss Tom, just do it as originally agreed."

The original weekly salary between them was 10 silver sickles.

John and his guests had talked about the salary issue in the wizarding world.

As far as he knew, the monthly salary of a junior clerk in the Ministry of Magic was only forty or fifty galleons.

Working in the Ministry of Magic, even as a junior clerk, is already a dream job for many Hogwarts graduates.

This not only means that Ministry of Magic clerks have a good future, but also means that the salary of this job itself is not low.

And John and Michelle are just half-baked little wizards.

The productivity gap between them and adult wizards is hundreds of times at least.

This is no exaggeration at all, magic is so powerful.

Let's take the example of junior clerks in the Ministry of Magic. Adult wizards of this level can go into a factory to make screws. They can use their magic to support hundreds of Muggle workers. At the best, they can carry a wand and go to the battlefield. If the opponent is a Muggle,

, he can kill dozens or hundreds by himself. As for assassination or intelligence work, it is even more outrageous.

The monthly salary for a talent of this level is only forty or fifty galleons.

So Tom is willing to hire John and Michelle and give them a high salary of 10 silver cents. This can no longer be described as kind-hearted, it is simply doing charity.

And now, Tom actually gave them a salary increase and bonuses.

Added together, this is 18 galleons!

Tom waved his hand to stop John from continuing.

In the beginning, the reason why he agreed to work here, John and Michelle, a pair of little wizards who couldn't even use household magic, was simply because he felt sorry for them.

But John and Michelle soon gave him a surprise.

The talent of this pair of boys and girls in magic is simply astonishing. They learned almost all household magic in just two days, and became more and more sophisticated in the following days.

And John also showed off his extraordinary cooking skills.

The customers were mesmerized by the dishes that Tom had never seen before.

In this regard, Tom can only say that talented people will never disappoint no matter where they go or what they do.

"call--"

He took a deep breath and said, "It's decided, put the money away quickly. Besides, you are going to Hogwarts soon. I will give you a holiday in the remaining two days. There is no need to save, just take the money."

Buy more delicious food for your sister! A talented person like you will not be short of money in the future!"

"Oh yeah! Tom is the best!"

Michelle cheered.

When Tom saw this, he burst into laughter.

John was no longer polite and put away all the gold galleons with a smile.

Tom is right, he is going to Hogwarts soon, and he must buy some necessary things, so it is always good to have more money.

When it came to Hogwarts, John thought again of the little brown bag Hagrid had on him.

According to Hagrid, it seems that he wants to take that thing back to Hogwarts.

So does he have a chance to grab it?

John was thinking silently in his mind.

The magic power of that thing was too pure, and it was of great benefit to him.

If there is a chance, he doesn't want to miss it!
