A Day as a Foodie at Hogwarts

Professor Horace Slughorn never imagined that one day he would return to teach at Hogwarts.

Ever since what happened to Tom.He was in a state of semi-retirement.Don't let others find you easily.

Only those who are very close friends with him, or some of his proud disciples, can find him.

Because Professor Horace knew that he had made some mistakes, some mistakes that made Voldemort more powerful, such as the production of soul energy, this was told to Tom at the time through his mouth.

Ever since Voldemort started causing trouble, he had hidden himself because he always felt that Voldemort would definitely find an opportunity to kill him.

Because he may know some secrets that he shouldn't know.

Originally, he wanted to live his life peacefully like this.But this year something happened a little unexpectedly.Because his old friend Albus Dumbledore found him and asked him to take the position of Potions Professor.

"Don't you have Professor Severus Snape? Although I rarely praise others, I would like to say that Professor Snape's knowledge in potions is no worse than mine. I really have no reason to rob him. Job." When Professor Horace said this, he was seemingly complimenting Professor Snape.

But in fact, he was still showing off his knowledge in potions. Professor Snape was just not worse than him, but was he better than him?not necessarily.If you want, you can still take his job at any time.

His modest vocabulary can only be heard occasionally.Because he was a very vain person, Dumbledore knew this very well, so when he asked him to come out.Especially to him.

"Unlike old friend, I would rather you take up the current position of Potions Professor at Hogwarts. Because the students you teach this year are somewhat special."

Professor Horace raised his eyebrows, as if he was doing a tap dance.

"How special?"

"Harry Potter is here. I know you enjoy teaching those gifted students."

"Harry Potter is really famous, but he has yet to prove his talent."

"What about Yunhe Dumbledore?"

When Dumbledore said the name.Professor Horace couldn't help but ask: "Everything said outside is true. Do you really have a child?"

"From the perspective of blood inheritance, he is indeed my child." Dumbledore did not deny this.

"Professor Snape will take up the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year, so the position of Potions Professor will be vacant. I need an excellent Potions Master to fill this vacancy. .”

"You know, old man, although I can occasionally play a guest role as Potions Professor, my knowledge in Potions is far inferior to yours."

Professor Horace was very happy when he said this, because he is a person who likes to be flattered and praised by others, especially when the person who flatters him is the most famous white wizard in Europe.

This greatly satisfied his self-esteem.

The main reason that really made Professor Horace determined to teach at Hogworth was because of Dumbledore's words.

"My child needs your guidance, Horace."

This sentence is really a killer.

In the final analysis, Horace is a very vain person. He can make a big man like Dumbledore beg him, but it really satisfies all his self-esteem and all his vanity.

His body and mind were satisfied as never before.So I agreed in one breath.

"Okay, Dumbledore, I agree to teach at Hogwarts. Of course there will be a reward."

"I'll give you a satisfactory price."

So the teacher of Potions class at Hogwarts this year is not Professor Snape, but Professor Horace.

Because Yunhe wasted too much time in the last Transfiguration class, both the Slytherin students and the Gryffindor students were late for Potions class.

However, Professor Horace, who seemed to be a kind-hearted person, did not care about these little wizards in the Potions classroom, or he mainly said to Yun He: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

"I heard that you performed a very beautiful Transformation Spell, Scaling Spell and Levitation Spell in the last class. It is a very amazing technique to combine the three spells into one. It takes a lot of time. A little time is understandable, sit down, sit down.”

Professor Horace put his arm around Yun He enthusiastically, as warmly and kindly as he treated his own nephew.

But other little wizards seemed to not exist in his eyes.

And it seemed to be like this when taking potions class.Although the one who answered the questions most enthusiastically was Gryffindor's scoring machine, Miss Hermione Granger.

Although the other little wizards also performed some very well.But Professor Horace always focused his attention on Yunhe.

He has his own plans.For him, fame, fame and money are very important to him.He's a very tacky guy.

He was blameless, as was almost everyone, but he was also one of the most outstanding alchemists in Europe.

Although what he said to Dumbledore was a bit boastful, if he really wanted to test his knowledge in potions and his ability to refine potions.It's hard to say whether Snape can beat him.

Professor Horace likes to collect famous and capable students.Just like little wizards like to collect those famous wizard cards that come with chocolate frogs.

Horace likes to decorate his life with famous students.And there is no doubt that Yunhe will become the most dazzling among all his students, even more dazzling than Harry Potter.

Because Professor Honus also paid attention to Harry Potter in Potions class.

Maybe it was because the Potions professor was not Snape, so Harry's Potions class was pretty good, and he made a powerful cough potion in the first lesson.The finish was pretty good.

That's just okay, after all, he didn't get the notes left by the half-blood prince Snape in the sixth grade, so there were no notes to cheat.

Therefore, Harry did not leave much of a deep impression on Professor Horace. On the contrary, Miss Hermione Granger made Professor Horace shine with her outstanding ability.

But Yunhe's performance is still the most outstanding.After all, he lived with the top 5 potions masters in Europe for a month. Snape would always practice some potions when he had nothing to do, and Yunhe was beside him to help, even if Professor Snape didn't specifically tell him Some things, but Yunhe has already benefited a lot from just studying with Professor Snape.

The powerful antitussive potion refined by Yunhe appears in a translucent turquoise color.And it also exudes a mint scent.Professor Horace gave Slytherin 10 points without hesitation.

After class, Professor Horace specifically called out to Yun He.

"Your performance in class today was wonderful."

Professor Horace said in sincere admiration.

"First-year students always have a lot of problems when they brew potions for the first time. After all, many people don't know how to use a potion knife."

"Professor, you are complimenting me. I lived with Professor Snape for a month and occasionally helped him. He would leave simple potion processing to me." Yunhe did not blame his performance in the potion class. to one's own talents.

Because for things like magic potions, in addition to talent, experience is more important.Only by constantly brewing potions and successfully refining potions can you accumulate enough experience to reach a higher level of your potion refining ability.

He obviously doesn't have such ability yet.Just picked up Snape's wisdom.

"Very good, I like an honest boy like you. No wonder some of your methods when refining potions are so similar to Professor Snape."

"You flattened the rhizome of rhizome and put it into the potion instead of cutting it into 4 pieces as in the book. When you put the mint in, you didn't throw it in directly, but patted it on the palm of your hand. These little It can be seen that the details are taught by masters. The effect performance is also excellent. "

Horace seemed to be praising Yun He, but in fact he was thinking about how to get Yun He into his famous student club.

"Yun He. If you are free in the evening, I would like to invite you to my office for a little gathering."

"There are many outstanding students in Hogwarts. I think you can get to know each other. Maybe you can help each other academically in the future."

Yunhe knew as soon as he heard this that the old guy wanted to drag him into his Horace Club.

In the original work, he knew that Professor Horace had a collecting habit.

It's just that he likes to collect students, especially successful and famous students.He would attribute the success of those students to his education, and he would hang the photos one by one on the wall like medals.

"Professor Horace I'm glad you invited me. But I'm afraid not today."

Yunhe's rejection made Horace a little unhappy. His face sank slightly, but he quickly smiled again.

"Can you tell me why?"

"Because tonight will be my first club activity, I can't miss it."

"Social activities? According to Hogwarts rules, first-year students should not be eligible to join the Quidditch team."

"Not the Quidditch team. But a little party I organized myself."

"Ok?"

"The main purpose is to eat, drink, and have fun together, and to supervise and exchange studies together. It can be regarded as a party salon. The principal, my father, gave me an empty room. I will hold the first salon party tonight. Professor, if you are interested If you are interested, I also invite you to our first salon party."

Professor Horace was somewhat moved: "Are there other students?"

"Yes, all Slytherin students currently in first year."

"Including Goyle and Crabbe?"

"Correct."

"Oh, what a coincidence, I may not have time to go in the evening. Or when you are free, the two of us can get together. We can go to the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade for a cup of butterbeer on the weekend."

"Professors who are younger than third year are not allowed to spend the weekend in Hogmogg."

"Hahahaha! Which Hogwarts student will not violate a few school rules. Students who never violate school rules will not have much success when they grow up."

Professor Horace patted Yun He on the shoulder with a kind look on his face, just like Yun He's uncle.

"Okay, I'm leaving first. Remember to meet the Three Broomsticks on the weekend."

Yun He really couldn't say anything to this professor who had a collecting habit.Although this man is somewhat vain and greedy for profit, he is not essentially a bad person.It’s just that he is very attached to fame and fortune.

Shrugging, Yunhe was the last to leave the Potions classroom.

It's time for dinner.But Yunhe didn't intend to go to the hall to eat at all.

The welcome dinner on the first day of school was rich and appetizing.Then the food provided by Hogwarts after school starts is really unappetizing.

It's not that the food provided is too bad, the main thing is that the food provided by Hogwarts is very homely British cuisine.

For example, fried potatoes, roasted potatoes, stewed potatoes, braised potatoes, roasted potatoes.Pair it with grilled fish, fried fish and fried fish.Occasionally add some mashed green beans and raw broccoli.Raw leafy greens.Or a salad tossed with olive oil and red wine vinegar.

Occasionally there are dishes like grilled chicken drumsticks.

I don’t know if it’s because of the cooking method, but these dishes generally don’t look delicious enough.It must be a matter of taste. Yun He likes to eat more tender and fresh dishes.

And the most critical problem is that they have too few dishes. When Yunhe lived in Hogwarts for a month, he had already eaten almost all of them once or even several times.

He really didn't want to eat those dishes again.

Now that Dumbledore has provided him with an independent space, He He feels that he should also start to improve his life. After all, he doesn't just make so much money just to look at it.

The space Dumbledore allocated to Yun He was an empty room on the left side of the third floor of the castle near the tower.

Originally this was a place for honorary duels.

However, with the development of the times, this kind of honor duel, which was particularly popular hundreds of years ago, has gradually been abandoned.

Hogwarts has now banned such duels at the cost of life.

Therefore, this honor duel field was completely abandoned.This is quite a large space.

In the center of the room is a stone platform 10 meters long and three meters wide.This is where honor duels take place.

There are many empty tables, chairs and benches around.

These were all things Yunhe asked Dumbledore for.Because I need a place to hold a party, but I can't afford not to have seats.

Of course, these are not provided for free. After all, although Dumbledore is the principal, the school's money is given by the school directors and the Ministry of Magic. He must explain to these people the whereabouts of the money.

Therefore, this batch of tables, chairs, benches, various cloth strips used for decoration in the club, velvet sofas, various bookshelves and other equipment, etc., were all taken out of Yunhe's private vault.

Fortunately, he can still make money by writing novels, otherwise just supporting such a club would be a huge expense.

Dumbledore must have sent house elves to clean this place. Although it is a bit old, everything is very clean.Dumbledore even complied with Yun He's request and built a kitchen inside.

"Finally I can cook by myself." Seeing the stove and the pots and pans, various knives, etc. on the stove, Yun He was so moved that he was about to cry.

Now he misses the Chinese food he hasn't had in months.Although I have been reincarnated, my stomach is still Chinese.

Just do it when you say it, and Yunhe won't be verbose.He took out the various ingredients that he had prepared long ago from his crossbody bag and put them into different categories in the kitchen.

And also hang a sign on the kitchen door. 【No entry outside Yunhe. 】

In the wizarding world, although many people don't use refrigerators, wizards have been using magic spells to preserve food for thousands of years.

Food-preserving spells are constantly evolving.Just like now, when Yunhe took out a bag of flower armor from his satchel, they were still fresh and alive.

This was not possible with a Muggle refrigerator, which had been in the bag for several days.

Although Yunhe decided to cook to satisfy his stomach, after all, he had never cooked in his previous life.

So I can only make some simple dishes to satisfy my appetite.Flower armor is probably the best ingredient for cooking.

Just put it in water and boil it, then you can pick it up and eat it after the shell is opened.Dish with fresh dipping oil.The taste is tender and smooth, and the taste is delicious.

However, Yun He doesn't plan to make simple boiled scallops. In his memory, there is a very simple method that even a fool can make, but the resulting dish is delicious, and that is butter scallops.

Yun He took out the kitchen knife a little clumsily.Cut the ginger in your own ingredients into thin strips.

However, his knife skills were not very good, and the cuts were crooked and varied in thickness.

"what are you doing?"

Just when Yun He was fighting with Ginger, Professor Snape's voice came from behind him, and Yun He was so frightened that he almost cut his hand with a kitchen knife.

"It's scary, Professor. Didn't you see the note posted outside my door that no one is allowed to enter except Yunhe?"

Yunhe patted his little heart that was almost frightened out of his chest.

Snape snorted: "Humph." He would not tell Yun He that he came here on purpose because he didn't see Yun He during dinner.

"Are you chopping vegetables?"

"Yes. But my knife skills are not very good. It's a bit difficult to cut this ginger into long thin strips." As a novice in the kitchen, Yun He, who is a novice in the kitchen, said that cutting vegetables is a skill that requires a lot of test of his knife skills. I'm afraid it won't be possible to master it quickly in a short time.

But when he saw Professor Snape appearing, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Professor, you haven't had dinner yet."

"What does it have to do with you?" Professor Snape would not tell Yun He that he had indeed not eaten dinner.

"Well, how about I treat you to dinner tonight? Look, I have squid and pasta here. I have recipes for squid and pasta that you haven't tried before. I'll make them for you to try. I guarantee they'll be delicious. All I need is you. Do me a small favor."

Yun He's eyebrows flew up and down.

Professor Snape crossed his arms and said, "What?"

"I remember that your Shen Feng Wuying is particularly powerful. How about helping me cut some vegetables?" Yun He made his small request that was not excessive at all.
