hp's road to the heart goes through the stomach

After Harry's birthday, Hogwarts will start soon. As the headmaster, Snape doesn't need to guide the new students born in Muggle families. He only needs to go to the school in advance to arrange work for the new semester.After the school term started in previous years, Snape had always lived in the school, except for the summer vacation, he would not return to Spider's End, and it should be the same this year.Harry was a little worried - Hogwarts has always been closed, and there is no precedent for outsiders to stay overnight except for students and teachers.After discussing with Snape, Harry won the right to continue living in Spider's End, and Snape would deliver the day's potion directly through the fireplace.

While crushing the orange in his hand, Harry wondered what reason he could use to get closer to Snape.It's already August, and the weather is hot. Although the house in Spider's End Lane is shaded and blocked by various buildings, avoiding direct sunlight, the temperature inside the house is still not low.The rise in temperature had raised Snape's irritability to a higher level, and even Harry chose to avoid his sharpness for a short time, focusing on comforting, that is, stroking along his fur.

After the grapefruit was completely crushed, Harry put the mixture of pulp and juice into the pot, added water to cook for a while, then filtered out the pulp, added an appropriate amount of sugar, and cooked until the juice mixture began to thicken.Waves of his wand caused the solution to cool rapidly, and Harry bottled them in crushed ice to cool them further.The ice cubes to be used later were made just now. They were made by pouring lemonade into molds and freezing them. A few strands of intact grapefruit pulp were carefully placed in the middle of each lemonade.After solidification, some crushed grapefruit pulp is frozen in each clear square ice cube. The silky pulp stretches out in the ice cube, and the color is bright and attractive.Pour three or four ice cubes into the glass, the ice cubes collide with the glass wall, making a crisp and pleasant sound, then inject the thoroughly cooled fruit juice solution, the ice cubes with water-red patterns slowly float in the orange-yellow solution, It makes people move their index fingers.The syrup is made from fresh fruit and water soaked in roses. The fruity sweetness reveals the fragrance of flowers.Slowly pour the syrup along the wall of the cup, and the dark red color settles on the bottom of the cup. The sweetness just neutralizes the sourness of the juice.Finally sprinkle two or three rose petals on the ice cubes. From the top to the bottom of the slender glass, there are velvet texture rose petals, clear water red ice cubes, orange juice solution and dark red syrup For the bottom, a glass of ice float (coolfloat) is ready.

When it was served in front of Snape, cool air leaked from the side of the cup, making him slightly relieved.In the past few days, Harry has been devoting himself to making some refreshing but not overly sweet drinks for Snape to calm his irritable mood due to the weather.After various experiments, Harry's ability to make dessert cold drinks has also improved a lot.Harry used a small spoon to dig out the grapefruit jelly he made for himself with the remaining grapefruit pulp. The pink upside-down bowl-shaped solid tremblingly served in the middle of the transparent high-footed flat-bottomed bowl. The taste is refreshing, sweet and sour Yes, it eliminates a bit of the heat of the hot summer.

It was not entirely an excuse to tell Snape that his savings were not enough to pay for the treatment. The savings left by his parents were constantly being consumed, but Harry had no source of income. He had bought it on Diagon Street before. A shop, and now he thinks what he should sell—the Florin's has been a fond memory of Diagon Street for him, and he enjoyed those afternoons at the Florin's, disappearing too soon. It's a pity, isn't it?

In the remaining few days, Harry planned his menu in detail. Magic brought great convenience to life. Harry only gave a general idea, and the specially decorated shop in the wizarding world quickly helped him All the decoration related to the store has been dealt with, even the signboards have been hung up.Harry has never been good at naming names, so he chose a simple and crude name for the cold drink shop - "Diagon Street Cold Drink Shop", anyway, there is only such a cold drink shop on Diagon Street, and he plans to open it after Snape goes to school. Open up the shop.

Harry thought, and his thoughts turned to Snape again.Because of Harry's unremitting feeding, Snape was "forced" not to miss a single meal, and ate regularly. His skinny and sallow face had some color and became slightly fuller. However, when he arrived at Hogwarts, If no one reminds me, it will definitely return to the previous state.Harry felt as if he should find a time to chat with Professor McGonagall.

Tonight is simple pasta. Fry sliced ​​porcini mushrooms in olive oil, pour in cream and stir, add cooked pasta, fry until cooked, add some white wine slightly according to the Italian tradition, and the gorgeous aroma will burst out open.The viscous milk is evenly wrapped on the noodles, and there are less than two slices of porcini mushrooms fried on both sides in the middle. After putting on the plate, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and a little parsley. The milk white reveals fresh green and tempting It is golden in color, rich in color and rich in fragrance.

Harry put the noodle rolled on the fork into his mouth, while he was distracted thinking about how on earth he would convince Professor McGonagall to let him send the "Love Bento" to the food-rich Hogwarts.The porcini mushrooms have a rich taste, somewhat similar to the mellowness of meat, and the milky fragrance comes from behind, overpowering the mellowness of the porcini mushrooms, while the pasta fully absorbs the freshness and sweetness of both, making Harry extremely satisfied with every bite.

"Has Mr. Potter been so busy that he needs to think about the survival of the wizarding world even when he eats?" Harry was interrupted by a low and pleasant voice, and when he looked up, he saw Snape's black face, and showed a flattering expression reflexively. smile. 【A picky eater smile x

"Tomorrow you will live in the school..." He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Snape just as he started.

"I hope Mr. Potter doesn't blow up my house when I come back." Harry thought about his potions results in the previous fifth grade, and he was a little annoyed. If it wasn't because he was deliberately targeted by his potions professor, In fact, he still has some talent in potions, and the potions grades in the next two years and the "O" in potions in NEWTs are enough to prove this-at this time, he selectively ignored the fact that he brought Snape's notes. Great help from the old potions book.

But rich experience reminded him not to refute his former Potions professor at this time, Harry just changed the subject slightly flatteringly: "Need to make some snacks for you, Severus?"

The former potions professor in black with a black face just left a sentence: "Just take care of yourself." Then he turned and entered the study, the corners of his pitch-black robe rose behind him, and some of them fell down in the wind.

Harry thought a little angrily, you didn't treat me like this before, but now I'm trying my best to please you, so don't regret it if you are still so rough. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel sad again.At least he's still alive, Harry reassured himself, took a deep breath to hide his sadness, and picked up the dishes on the table and walked to the kitchen.
