Chapter 42: A Pitiful Man
Hello friends, it is me, Max, your favorite fictional protagonist and I am currently in the Leaky Cauldron, unfortunately my vacation in France is over. I will give you a short summary of what has happened:
First; I got distant relatives, yes, they are the Flamels and Grandma Perenelle is very happy and even she moved to live with me in Ridvya castle. Also, she is very happy about the idea that I have several wives and it is because she will have more grandchildren for the near future. The positive part this is; that I got a free babysitter. hehehe
Second; The final winnings of the world championship were immense and to such a degree that you could see the goblins smiling on every corner.
Third; I won the championship for the fourth year in a row and I am further away from my goal of being a dueling legend.
Fourth; I got married to my fifth wife Tatiana and with a sigh of resin, I can only say that I had no alternative. Currently I am at my limit, a positive part is that I am getting used to it and gaining a monstrous resistance.
Fifth; The world has entered a phase of prosperity, Except great britain and why old Albus is doing his part to keep the country late.
Sixth; The war between light and darkness, has been in small skirmishes here and there, but I do not know how to record the conflict.
Now I am here in the Leaky Cauldron, for two things: First; Observe how my investment goes with the Leaky Cauldron, and Segundo; give me a little getaway from my wives and have a few drinks, hopefully getting drunk. Hahaha.
Upon arriving at the site, I noticed that it was booming and indeed this business was enjoying good prosperity. I sat at the bar in silence and ordered a high-quality, high-liquor butterbeer. While enjoying my beer, I look next to me and realizing that there is a man with a hat sighing, it seemed like he had a terrible day. The man in the hat was counting his Knuts to order a beer and sadly he couldn't buy a beer. It hurt me so much to see him so miserable that I wanted to do my good deed for the day and asked for another beer, which I offered the beer the man with the hat .
"Friend! It seems that you had a terrible day and have this beer, let's do a toast to a better day" I say.
The man looks at me astonished and says "Thank you Champion and I will gladly accept your offer"
I observed the man carefully, realizing that he was my age and I couldn't help my curiosity of question, since he was a young man. What kind of a terrible day this man could have had, to look like it was the end of his life and so much that it hurts a little to watch it like this, so I asked him.
"Why do you look like you are at the end of your life?" I tell him.
The man sighs and says "I don't want to talk about that, Champion"
Note that I am called champion twice, that means that this man is a fan of duels and with a bright smile, I ask him insisting.
"Come on man, tell me what happens to you, maybe this champion can give you good advice and help you with the difficulty you are in" I say with a smile
The man looks at me for a moment and with a sigh says "Okay, I'll tell you what happened to me, but it will be a very long story and I don't think I will have enough beer."
"Don't worry my friend, I invite all the beers you want and to drink as much beer as you want" I tell him with a smile.
A / N: don't forget my beer ...
The man takes all the beer in one sip and asks for another, with a sigh he says "When I'm in a better financial position, I'll buy you a couple of rounds beer and I won't take no for an answer."
"Just tell me what time and place, I'll be there" I say with a smile and raise my glass for a toast, saying "Cheers and to the bottom of the glass"
The man follows me in the toast and says "Cheers and to the bottom of the glass"
Slurp, Glug, Glug, Glug, Glup, Aaajsss! Taking all the beer in one go.
"The beer is good" I say, taste my lips
The man laughs and says "Hahaha, certainly champion and let's go with another round"
"Okay, hello and it's the bottom of the glass" I say with a smile
Slurp, Glug, Glug, Glug, Glup, Aaajsss! Drinking all the beer.
"This beer is very good, my friend" I say, savor my lips.
A / N: Yo, I'm still waiting for my beer. (-.-)
The man in good spirits says "Let's go with another round"

After a couple of rounds of beers, the man finally started to tell me his story and tells.
A / N: And my beer? (-.-)
"Champion… Hic! … After leaving studying… Hic! … From Hogwarts… Hic! … I thought I would find a job… Hic! ... but it wasn't like that ... Hic! … Champion, I've tried everything… Hic! … But I was not lucky… Hic! … My wife is pregnant… Hic! … My parents died last year… Hic! … For dragon pox… Hic! … But they also left me with debts" says the man a bit drunk.
A / N: a little bit, he's already drunk.
"You seem to have a lot of difficulties," I tell him, I was also starting to feel dizzy.
"My wife… Hic! … She's not happy… Hic! ... with my financial situation ... Hic! … if she isn't pregnant … Hic! ... I think it would have dissolved ... Hic! … The marriage contract "says the man with great regret and he was even beginning to score a couple of tears from his eyes.
"Well, let's drink until the body can hold it, let us vent our sorrows and lamentation with beer"
..
..
Little by little we drank more than 40 rounds of beers and I was already half drunk or drunk. Hahaha
"Where do you live, my friend? … Hic! " i ask him
"Haha… hic! … I forgot… hic! " says the man laughing.
"Give me your wizard ID ... Hic!" I tell him
The man checks his pockets one by one, found the identification card and gives it to me, I observe his home address on the card. I focus and use <Appartion>.
Point of view of a pregnant and worried wife
In a modest house, a pregnant woman was found and paced from side to side with concern, since her husband had not yet returned. Remembering the harsh words he said to her in the morning, she regretted saying that to him and wanted her husband to come home soon, so she could apologize to him.
Soon the sound of two drunks singing was heard
I am a powerful wizard, hic!
I am a drinking magician, hic!
Yoooooo I'm a magooo drinkerrrr
Nanananana. Hic! Tararaararatatan Hic!
N / A: these two guys are drunk, they are making a fool of themselves. The worst thing is that I wait for my beer (-.-)
Soon, I was able to identify the voice of one of the two drunken men and if it was her husband, that he came home drunk. Her concern for her husband disappeared, now she was very upset with her husband and tonight her husband would sleep on the sofa in the living room.
N / A: usually happens.
Leaning out the window, she can see her husband with a blond man and she couldn't make out the man well, because it was night. As you go down the stairs and reach the door, you can hear them talking.
"My friend… hic! … He's sure you have the keys to your house "the blond man says to my husband
"Hic! … Of course champion… Hic! … I kept it somewhere in my robe… hic! " my husband tells the blond man.
My husband will listen to me, he told me that he was going to look for work and not to drink with his friends, but first I have to ask the blond man to leave. I open the door and immediately notice the strong smell of butterbeer, but it smelled very strong and I look at my husband, who was having a hard time standing. If it weren't for the blond man, who carried him by the shoulder so that he did not fall to the ground and I did not recognize the man, because my husband does not have any blond friends. I watch my husband trying to get his key to the house, but he can't get it and I'm sick of my husband's drunkenness, I say.
"Where were my husband?" I ask him harshly.
"My wife… Hic! … I couldn't get a job today… hic! " My husband says, he was clearly drunk and couldn't even argue with her, since he was so drunk. I decided to save my anger for tomorrow.
"Please help me lay him down on the couch, sir," I say to the man, who even though he looked drunk I noticed that he was vigilant and a bit sober in his actions.
Notice that the man was tall and although he was drunk, he kept his balance as he walked in his footsteps.
As I put my husband on the couch, he gets up and starts walking towards me, I watch him pull out his wallet looking for something and pull out a business card.
Upon arriving in front of me, the blond man looked at me for a second and said "Ma'am, I hope you excuse the arrival time of my friend and if you do not mind, I would like you to give him a message"
"What kind of message?" I ask him cautiously, since the man in front of me reminds me of my father and he was a powerful man with a perfect noble etiquette.
"Tell him, I'll wait for him tomorrow at 2 in the afternoon for a job interview and not be late ... hic!" the man tells me with a smile, and for some reason that I couldn't explain he looked familiar, it was as if he had seen him somewhere.
"Okay, I'll tell him," I tell the blond man.
"Take my business card ... Hic!" says the blond man. I took the yellow card, realized it was a little heavy and saw the man walk to the door, but I kept watching him with my eyes.
When he walks to the entrance of the house he turns around and says "it was a pleasure to meet you, ma'am and have a good early morning, sorry for the bad impression that caused you."
At the end of his words, he teleported with <Appartion>, left the place in silence and now I could detail that the yellow card was not yellow. It was pure gold, I looked at the name on the card and as if my mind was clearing, I remembered the name of the blond man.
"Oh for Merlin, Maximillium Dovahkiin was at my house and drank beer with my husband, if my brothers find out about these they will be very jealous of Arthur" I said surprised.
I suddenly remember the words of man
"Wait my husband, he got a job with the world dueling champion and oh by Morgana and Merlin. My husband is being blessed with a good job, "I say with incredulous emotion, even all the anger I felt over my husband's drunkenness dissipated.
It will continue in the next chapter.
