This is a very popular wizarding pub with a long history.
It was established about two centuries before the implementation of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. Therefore, at the beginning, it did not reject any guests, including Muggles, wizards, goblins, and hags...
their guests.
Since the British government re-planned Charing Cross Road in the early 19th century, the pub, which was originally planned to be razed to the ground, has completely disappeared from the records of the non-magical world - among dozens of people
With the efforts of the wizards, they successfully modified the plan of the entire street through a large number of forgetting spells and various complex hiding spells.
Although the bar was originally founded by Ms. Daisy Doddridge, after several changes, the Leaky Cauldron has long become a fixed asset of the Abbot family, one of the "Holy Twenty-Eight Pureblood Families". (Note 1

Today's bar owner happens to be Hannah Abbott's uncle, Tom Abbott.
With the popularity of "A Bite of Hogwarts" and "The New Quibbler" in the wizarding world, the entire Leaky Cauldron has gradually undergone some subtle changes, both in terms of decoration style and internal layout.
For example...
The entire Leaky Cauldron is now covered with photos of Hannah taken in "The New Quibbler", whether it's photos of eating, playing with unicorns, or even doing homework, and the style of the bar has also been wiped out.
It was previously dirty and cramped, but has been renovated into a state that is almost as tidy and comfortable as the guest room area on the second floor.
The bar area, seating area, round table for many people in the pub...
Anywhere in the Leaky Cauldron where guests might gather and linger, Old Tom would enthusiastically place one or two copies of "The New Quibbler" and "Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue" with photos and articles about his niece.
What makes Hannah even more ashamed is that since last Christmas, her position in the Leaky Cauldron has changed from a simple transparent temporary waiter to a role similar to a celebrity maid.
Whenever they have free time, the family will point to the photos on the wall of the tavern to introduce to the guests that this is the cutest little angel Balabala of their old Aibo family, and they will also ask Han from time to time when the meal is served.
Na stood in the middle of the tavern, reciting her "tongue-in-cheek" articles with great emotion and enthusiasm, boosting the tavern's sales...
Fortunately, these days are finally coming to an end.
"Uncle Tom, Elena, Luna, and Professor Dumbledore will be here today. Please, please take down all those photos on the wall temporarily. It's really embarrassing. Wait until I leave.
, you can arrange it however you want..."
Hannah Abbott bit her lip, pulling on Old Tom's sleeve and begging softly behind the bar.
Tom, who was directing the wand to clean the glass, smiled and patted Hannah's head with pride.
"My little Hannah will be a big star in the future. You have to adapt to such an occasion in advance. Besides, if I remember correctly, weren't these photos taken by you and your friends? What are you embarrassed about?"
"But, but..."
Hannah glanced at the door through the bar counter with some embarrassment, nervously trying to think of a reason.
You know, Hannah has never been very good at using her brain to come up with reasons.
If she was not facing her uncle, but a random strange wizard, she wouldn't have to go to so much trouble. She could just follow the method taught by Elena, a layer of strengthening and a serious straight punch - if the opponent was a non-human,
Then you can consider directly maxing out the triple reinforcement and try to solve the problem within one blow.
In the past month, there have been almost no drunkards causing trouble in the Leaky Cauldron.
"Okay, don't be nervous, this is your home! Uncle, help cheer you up!"
Tom Abbott glanced at the hesitating little Hannah, grinned, raised his right hand and lightly snapped his fingers.
Snapped!
Following the actions of the tavern owner, a loud crackling sound exploded over the tavern.
"Guys, stop for a moment and listen to me!"
The guests who were chatting and drinking subconsciously stopped talking and looked at the bar owner Tom, who was standing behind the bar with almost all his hair and a face that looked like a walnut in confusion, wondering what was going on.
"Our little angel from the Abbott family, Hannah Abbott, is a first-year student at Hogwarts. Oh, she will be in her second year soon. At the invitation of Professor Dumbledore, she is about to go to the England national team for a month.
Summer trial training——"
As he spoke, Tom Abbott's face seemed to be blooming, and he pushed Hannah in front of him.
The whole Leaky Cauldron suddenly fell silent.
"Ahem, so..."
The bar owner puffed up his chest and said loudly, "To celebrate such a happy event, I announce that I will treat everyone here today to a free drink! For Quidditch and Hogwarts
, for magic!”
"Man, are you stupid? That's the England national team."
Dedalo Diego was stunned for a moment, then laughed, shook his head, and clapped his hands.
"Although I admit that little Hannah is indeed excellent, your joke is too big. Of course, since you said so, I will not save you the free glass of wine - six servings
Forget-you water and a glass of sherry!”
"This is no joke, Diego! Hannah is much better than you think. Drink your wine!"
Old Tom raised his chin slightly and shook his finger proudly.
The next moment, a cup of prepared "Wangyou Sherry" floated to Di Ge's hand.
"Okay, you pay, you have the final say..."
Dedalo Diego shrugged his shoulders and raised his glass.
"Anyway, thank you to England's Quidditch rising star - Hannah Abbott! For the magic!"
"Thanks to the little weirdo at the Leaky Cauldron!"
"Thank you Miss Abbott! Oh, Tom, what do you think of my nephew..."
"Go away! Don't take advantage of my Hannah! She's only twelve years old!"
"Hey, I just mentioned it casually..."
Hannah looked at the suddenly excited bar with a headache, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
As a child who grew up here, she knew very well what would happen after her uncle said that everyone was free of charge... This group of adults have no brains as long as they get drunk...
Sure enough, immediately after, the chairs in the entire tavern began to clang.
The wizards sitting in the Leaky Cauldron were cheering happily while raising their glasses, praising Hannah in various ways, trying to get a few more free drinks from Old Tom.
In such a heated atmosphere, many booing wizards came up with pens and paper, and approached Hannah asking her to sign her autograph, or write a few words of blessing, and then kept them, waiting for her to become a member of the British national team.
The savior star.
What's even more outrageous is that some people have even begun to suggest that Old Tom should open a separate trophy display cabinet in the Leaky Cauldron to display Hannah's future honorary certificates, medals, and the Quidditch World Cup Championship—
—Looking at her uncle's slightly moved expression, Hannah began to worry a little, whether she would have all of this when she came back next semester.
At this moment, the door of the bar was suddenly pushed open.
Three figures, one large, two small, appeared in the bar. As soon as they entered the door, the loud chattering suddenly stopped. Everyone turned their heads to look at the old wizard who appeared at the door, slightly reserved.
Smile and say hello.
Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, is recognized as the greatest wizard in the wizarding world today.
According to common sense, this old wizard rarely appears in Diagon Alley, let alone in this narrow and noisy Leaky Cauldron - this is why most wizards did not believe in Old Tom before.
The reason for the words.
only……
"Professor Dumbledore, what are you..."
A middle-aged wizard asked cautiously and softly.
"Oh, it seems that I came at a bad time. Don't worry, I will leave soon."
Dumbledore looked around the tavern, which was silent for a moment, blinked helplessly, and looked at the shy Hannah Abbott who was surrounded by the crowd in the center, and smiled slightly.
"Miss Abbott, I think we should set off. Although today is not a training day, it still takes a lot of time to report to the England Quidditch National Team early and understand the future training arrangements and living environment.
By the way, your luggage should be packed too, right?"
"Pack it up! Everything was packed up last night!"
Seeing Dumbledore, Elena, and Luna, Hannah breathed a sigh of relief.
As she was talking, she quickly got out of the crowd, ran behind the bar of the Leaky Cauldron, and pushed out the suitcase that her uncle and mother had packed for her in advance. On top of the suitcase, there was a
There was a well-maintained broomstick, with a shining silver star imprinted on the top of the broom, which looked particularly conspicuous.
"Wait a minute, this, this is that... So, are they all true?"
Dedalus swallowed hard, his eyes flickering between Dumbledore, Hannah and Old Tom.
In so many days, this is the first time that the bar guests have seen this legendary flying broomstick.
Legend has it that only after completing a reasonable knockdown record on the Hogwarts Quidditch pitch, a silver star can be branded on the broom handle. These days, Old Tom will use this from time to time.
Click it and brag.
Initially, no one believed this story at all.
After all, bragging, drinking, and telling jokes were the norm in the Leaky Cauldron, but with the sudden appearance of Albus Dumbledore, this matter began to fall from an illusory boast to reality.
However, before the wizards in the tavern could recover, Hannah's figure had already followed Dumbledore and disappeared into the back door of the Leaky Cauldron. Also disappearing with her were the two who were following Dumbledore.
Behind the scenes, the girl entered the tavern together.
"The Quidditch trial is real. But the shooting down and so on... must be fake..."
Looking at the figures of one large and three small people disappearing into the passage leading to Diagon Alley, a middle-aged wizard smiled and shook his head.
"Didn't you just notice that the broomstick that the silver-haired little girl is carrying behind her back is covered with silver stars? If you want to brand a star when you shoot down a person, is it possible that that person will be branded with a star?
The little girl who followed Dumbledore knocked down the entire Hogwarts Quidditch team when they were in school last year?"
"Ha, how is that possible? Do you think it's the Dark Lord flying on his broom and playing Quidditch?"
Another middle-aged wizard took a big sip of beer and burped in response.
"Tom, bring me another pint of Firewhiskey. According to your previous promise, this order is free! Here's to Hannah, the future Quidditch star of the Abbot family, and hope she can bring good luck to the Scottish team.
Bring back the World Cup!”
"Come on, come on, drink, drink!"
