A Day as a Foodie at Hogwarts

[Dear Lucius Malfoy.

As I said before, Yunhe Dumbledore has been confirmed to be the biological son of Principal Albus Dumbledore.Although Dumbledore did not reveal who the child's mother was.

But I looked up some old information.Cloud River looks exactly like Dumbledore as a child.And Albus personally admitted that Yunhe was his son.

Just like the king has an heir, everything in the world has changed.You might have planned ahead.

On August [-]th, I will take Yunhe to Diagon Alley and look forward to meeting you.

————Your loyal Severus Snape]

Snape sighed as he watched the owl deliver the letter.

When the Dark Lord Voldemort was in power, Snape and Lucius were both Death Eaters.The difference is that Snape was an undercover agent placed by Dumbledore next to Voldemort.Lucius voluntarily chose to side with Voldemort based on family interests.

Snape and Lucius had always had a good relationship, not just because they were both Death Eaters.Also because Lucius's wife Narcissa is related to Snape.

If Draco Malfoy, Lucius's child, was thick-skinned enough, he could shamelessly call Snape uncle.

As Dumbledore said, times have begun to change again.

Snape didn't know if Dumbledore had found some way. He seemed to be eliminating the remnants left by the Dark Lord.Unlike 11 years ago, this time Snape could see that Dumbledore was confident of killing the Dark Lord in one fell swoop.

And still within a year.

In the past, everyone had been worried about the Dark Lord's comeback, but now it seems that this worry is unnecessary.

Far away in Albania, a snake-faced monster who had just possessed Professor Quirrell sneezed.

But Yunhe, who was staying at Snape's house, was secretly worried.Hey, the cheap daddy is really not a real daddy, he is really stingy.

Only fifty gold galleons were left for Snape.This includes a month's food expenses for myself and various expenses needed to go to Diagon Alley for shopping.

This is really stingy!Dumbledore must be quite rich.

Hey……

Yunhe couldn't sleep because of his poverty.

Of course, maybe it was because Snape's house always smelled like mold that he couldn't sleep.

Yunhe felt that he had to think about his future.In the world I lived in before, I had always lived in the ward of a medical institution and had never been out.

But he also knows very well how demanding this world is for money.Buying a house costs money, buying a car (a broomstick) costs money, and buying various materials also costs money.

The Muggle world needs money, and the wizarding world also needs money.

If you don’t believe me, take a look at Snape’s residence.As a professor at Hogwarts, Snape's salary is above average in the entire wizarding world.Not as powerful as the officials in the Ministry of Magic, nor as good as those businessmen.But it is higher than ordinary workmanship and ordinary Ministry of Magic staff.

The annual income is two hundred gold galleons.In fact, this is quite a lot of money.Don't look at the fact that a young wizard of pure Muggle origin can exchange gold Galleons for five pounds per year at an exchange rate of one Galleons.

But this money is basically a subsidy from the Ministry of Magic to Muggle-born wizards.At this exchange rate, each young wizard's annual limit is only one hundred gold galleons.The main reason is so that young wizards of Muggle origin can live in the wizarding world.

Moreover, the minimum exchange rate is only five years, and the maximum is only seven years.In other words, as long as you graduate from Hogwarts, you will never get such an exchange rate again.

In fact, the currency of the wizarding world is not the same as the currency of the Muggle world.Because most of the products produced in the Muggle world are not used by magicians, or there are cheaper substitutes.

Little wizards have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy their first wand at a low price at the Wand Shop.A wand costs about seven galleons.This is also a subsidy from the Ministry of Magic.

Every year, Hogwarts sends the list of new students and their photos to the Ministry of Magic, which then sends them to the designated wand partner brand Ollivander's Wand Shop.

So Ollivander knew the name of every little wizard who came to his shop around August to buy a wand.

It's not that he has any magical powers, it's just that he memorized the list.

If an adult wizard buys a regular-priced wand, depending on the material and workmanship, the price will range from thirty gold galleons to five hundred gold galleons.

After all, a unicorn horn costs 21 gold galleons.There is no reason why a wand made of this material should only cost seven galleons.

The price of a Daily Prophet is one copper nat, one gold galleon can be exchanged for seventeen silver sikos, and it can be exchanged for 490 three copper nats.

And eating the most expensive ice cream in the ice cream shop in the best area of ​​Diagon Alley costs fourteen copper Knuts (note).

From a purely life perspective, Snape's income is enough to support him in living a relatively decent life.

But he was obsessed with potion research and spent all kinds of money to buy potion materials.

An ounce of dragon's liver costs a gold galleone.A good fang geranium costs one galleon and five sieves.

There was also the African tree snake skin they stole from Snape's personal medicine store when they were brewing Polyjuice Potion in Harry's second year. This stuff was extremely difficult to obtain, and the price of an ounce was as high as three galleons.

Harry and the others stole ten galleons worth of materials in one go, and Snape was so heartbroken.

Most of Snape's income was used to pay for these high materials.My life has become more difficult.

After staying with Snape for two days, Yunhe had already deeply felt the taste of poverty.There are no house elves to help with laundry and cooking here, everything has to be done by yourself.

The back garden was a mess and there was no place to stay.

There is no swimming lake either.The food was also very bad.

There was always a damp and sticky feeling in Snape's home, which made people very uncomfortable.

This man is not only poor, but also lazy.

In a daze, Yunhe fell asleep. Before going to bed, he made up his mind: he would buy a large manor in the future, with mountains on his back and the sea on his back, with house elves and magic maids, and he would be a comfortable rich man...

Yunhe was woken up by a strong fishy smell early in the morning. If he guessed correctly, it should be Snape making breakfast.

Yun He washed up and went downstairs to look in the kitchen. Sure enough, Professor Snape was making breakfast in the kitchen. A strong fishy smell came from the kitchen. Yun He almost vomited.

"Beef pie for breakfast." Snape saw Yun He and tried his best to soften his expression.But it was too difficult for him.

The British beef patty is really hard to put into words.Because this thing is not pure beef, but a traditional delicacy made of [-]% beef and [-]% cow offal.

The tradition of the British slaughter industry is not to bleed animals.It would be better if it is sour and matured to make steak.But this kind of fresh beef without bleeding is directly made into beef patties, and there are still [-]% offal in it, which smells fishy.

Oh my God!Yun He almost vomited.

"Professor Snape, do we have to eat so heavily so early in the morning?" Yun He asked weakly.

"Dumbledore told me that you are still growing and need to eat more meat. Stop talking nonsense and eat." After that, Snape threw a huge beef pie in front of Yun He.Yunhe took a bite forcefully and almost vomited.Well, I have to make my own food in the future, otherwise I will be poisoned by Snape sooner or later.

Snape himself ate the beef pie without feeling any discomfort.After all, Snape could swallow any potion that was worse than this.

"What are you going to do today? Are you going to continue reading at home?" Snape asked Yun He.

Yunhe put down the beef pie that was so delicious that it exploded: "I plan to take some time to write a book and earn some living expenses."

"Huh? Writing a book?"

"Oh, I'm talking about novels. Not literary works or reference books or anything like that. Just novels to pass the time."

Snape had no intention of asking Yun He if he could write a novel. If the child opposite him had been Harry Potter or someone else, Snape would have ridiculed him.

But because the other party was Dumbledore's cub, Snape resisted the urge to complain and asked as gently as possible: "Why do you want to write this?"

Yun He answered straightforwardly: "I want to make some money."

"Dumbledore left you money."

Yun He sighed: "Father has it, mother has it, it's better to have it myself."

Snape looked at Yun He, his eyes shining with a different light.

Ps: Note: In Rowling's original work, the monetary system is chaotic and prices are chaotic.A newspaper costs a knot, but an ice cream costs fourteen silver sikols.A unicorn horn costs 21 galleons, but a wand made from a unicorn horn only costs seven galleons.

It can be said that Rowling's currency settings were completely random. According to her settings, the economy of the wizarding world would have collapsed long ago.Therefore, this book will supplement and improve the monetary system of the magical world.From now on, all the prices in this book will be based on the settings of this book. Don't copy the original Harry Potter books, otherwise you won't be able to write.
