[hp] warm as jade

Rong Jiu, who had never found a chance to slip away to Gryffindor, could only write a small note to Hermione with an owl, asking about Harry's accident at the beginning of school, and caring about Hermione's recent study and life.Then she received a reply the next morning, not as long as she imagined, but only a short sentence: See you at Hagrid's cabin at seven o'clock on Saturday night.

Rong Jiu sighed.She really wasn't too confident that she could sneak past, after all, the relationship within Slytherin had become very delicate recently.

The reason is still because of Quidditch.

Draco's disgraceful entry into the Slytherin house team, coupled with his contempt for Lockhart, made his relationship with Millicent, Daphne, and Lila very bad.However, being tactful, aware of current affairs, and prudent to protect oneself are the consistent characteristics of Slytherin: the rest of the people either did not dare to offend the Malfoy family, or felt that the matter had nothing to do with them, so they all chose to remain silent.

This made Draco even more irritable, because he thought that these people should be on his side, and many of them had their fathers working under his father's hands, but they all chose to remain silent!Therefore, he didn't even look good towards Pan Xi and Rong Jiu.

"After all, he is the only young son of the Malfoy family." Pansy sank into the bed wearily.Draco had just gotten mad at her just because she had smiled brightly when she greeted Blaise.

Rong Jiu is also very tired recently. After all, she has always been very close to Draco and Pansy, so she was naturally included in the "Malfoy" party. They still have scruples about the Malfoy family and the Parkinson family, but for her But he didn't have any scruples, and often used her for surgery.

Rong Jiu was not a good-tempered person.But what she chose was not tit for tat, but turning a blind eye.

The time she got angry the most was probably the day before yesterday, when she just came back from the library, and there were only Draco, Pansy, Millicent, and Lila in the common room.God knows that these four people don't like each other, why do they insist on getting together in one space.

Millicent sneered: "As a little follower, you actually follow behind your master and beg for mercy all the time. Aren't you afraid that you won't get a broom?"

Rong Jiu didn't even look at Millison, and walked straight in.

Lila didn't know whether she felt bored, or was a little annoyed at being ignored, and shouted at Rong Jiu: "Hey, you rude person, can't you hear Millicent talking to you!"

Rong Jiu had just walked to Pan Xi's sofa at that time, when she heard this sentence, she stopped.

Almost everyone thought that Rong Jiu would sarcastically go back, even Draco had a look of anticipation and provocation on his face.But, after about two seconds, they heard Rong Jiu's light voice: "Tell them I'm not here."

Then she started walking again, still walking lightly towards her bedroom.Probably when she walked to the door of the dormitory, she vaguely heard the roar coming from the lounge.

Rong Jiu was a little sad.She really didn't do anything, and she was targeted inexplicably.

My heart is so tired, I feel like I can't love anymore.

Although it has been a few days since this incident, it still makes their teeth itch with hatred.And today is the first training of the academy team, who knows if Millicent and the others will be stimulated by it.

But what Rong Jiu didn't expect was that Millicent was not stimulated, and the person who was stimulated was Draco Malfoy.

Draco was brought back by a few Slytherin house players, his hands still wrapped in thick bandages.

"Merlin! What's the matter?" Pansy almost screamed and jumped in front of Draco. Almost everyone surrounded him, even Lila couldn't help but move closer.

Slytherin captain Marcus Flint grimaced: "We got into a fight with the Gryffindor group, and Draco hurt his hand."

"Why?" Pansy asked in surprise.

Marcus sneered: "Because we got the approval to use the pitch from Professor Snape, and it just so happened that Gryffindor was going to use the pitch for training today, so we started fighting when we disagreed."

"It's too much!" Unexpectedly, Millicent became excited, "Why should they do anything to our Slytherin players? If they have the ability, they will go get the approval slip!"

Lila also seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness with Draco, and approached with concern: "Are you okay? What did Madam Pomfrey say?"

"She said it's not serious, but my hand hurts when I move it." Draco squeezed his face into a ball, making people feel his fragility and pain from ten meters away.

Pansy burst into tears, the girls were full of concern, while the boys were all sullen: "This account, Slytherin has written it down."

It seems that when facing outsiders, Slytherins are always united... Rong Jiu leaned over while thinking, "Draco, would you like something to eat?"

Draco's eyes lit up: "Well...that chicken claw..."

"No, that's too spicy, it's not good for wound recovery." Rong Jiu stared at him disapprovingly, and thought for a while, "Why don't you eat dumplings, don't you like to eat onions and carrots? Oh yes, in yesterday's dish I saw some chives, I went to the kitchen to see if there are any, if there are, I can make leek dumplings..." Rong Jiu jumped up and almost rushed out of the lounge.

After all, it was Draco's fault.After he returned from vacation, he mentioned Rong Jiu's cooking skills to his father, and then said that Rong Jiu was not used to eating when he came all the way to school, and he liked eating those things very much, so his father gave him a way to enter the kitchen.

When Rong Jiu entered for the first time, he was first impressed by the giggling pear, and then he was shocked by the size of the kitchen and the number of elves.

Mr. Malfoy mentions a house-elf called Blossom (Draco: "I've never heard a stupider name than that."), who, he says, is in charge of everything Slytherin-related , (Draco: "Such a stupid name is actually in charge of Slytherin?" Lucius: "Shut up.") Therefore, they always take care of Slytherin students, and Rong Jiu can find her if needed.

Although Rong Jiu only went there once, she liked that friendly and lovely place from the bottom of her heart.

The obedience and executive abilities of the house elves are amazing. Rong Jiu picked out lettuce, carrots, mushrooms, and a little garlic. ) in less than 2 minutes, they were chopped and sent to Rong Jiu.

Rong Jiu wiped away her sweat, if she hadn't stopped it in time, it wouldn't be stuffing, it would have turned into mud.As long as she stopped them like this, those little elves thought that Rong Jiu disliked them, and almost wailed and wanted to hit the wall, but they were stopped by Rong Jiu who was covered with black lines. The elves stopped.

And directed them to filter these vegetables out of the water.Before preparing the vegetable stuffing, the noodles have been reconciled, the meat stuffing has been seasoned and eggs are marinated, and it is just time to add the vegetable stuffing.Rong Jiu entrusted the job of stirring stuffing to an elf named Xing Xing, but these elves rushed to help her, especially Huahua, I heard that it was for the little son of the Malfoy family, that is called a gallant .Rong Jiu had no choice but to hand over the job of rolling the dumpling wrappers to Huahua herself, thus avoiding that resentful look in her eyes.

As long as Rong Jiu explained the steps, the group of elves would complete them quickly and perfectly.Therefore, the preparatory work in the early stage only took less than 10 minutes.This made Rong Jiu very emotional. She remembered that when she was young, her grandma was still alive, and she would take her to make dumplings every Chinese New Year. It was necessary to start preparing one day in advance...

After a few seconds of sadness, Rong Jiu started making dumplings.Originally, those little elves wanted to use magic to make it for her, but she gently but firmly refused: "You can come and help me wrap it, but you can't use magic. What you eat has to be done by yourself in the end to make sense."

"But we won't..." Huahua looked at Rong Jiu at a loss.

"It's okay, I'll teach you." Rong Jiu sat among a group of elves with a smile, as peaceful as an old lady, "Look, you need to put the stuffing first. The fingers should be slightly concave here, so that the stuffing can be filled It’s full. The stuffing should take up about two-thirds of the entire dumpling wrapper, and you should press it when putting it in. Then pinch the top, like this.” She raised her hand a little higher, deliberately slowing down her movements, The elf passed a path in front of him.

In less than ten seconds, an exquisite dumpling appeared in front of the elves.The house elves looked at this delicate and petite little guy with docile admiration, and they felt itchy in their hearts, and they all started to operate by themselves.

Who knows that something that looks simple may not be easy to operate by yourself.When Rong Jiu had already started the fifth dumpling, as Huahua took the lead, the sound of hitting the wall one after another rang out in the kitchen.

"Hey! Stop!" Rong Jiu was stunned for three seconds before she realized, and rushed up to grab Huahua who was familiar with her, "What's wrong?"

"Huahua is a bad elf!" Huahua wiped her eyes with the piece of Huahua's bib on her body, "Huahua ruined the feelings of the honored guest!"

Rong Jiu lowered her head and saw the dumpling in front of Hua Hua, her eyes twitched...how should I put it, this dumpling...is more like siu mai.

Rong Jiu looked around at the other elf's dumplings again, and now not only the corners of his eyes twitched.What is it like siu mai? There are glutinous rice balls, and there are even some that cannot be described in words.Looking back at Huahua's siu mai dumplings, she felt from the bottom of her heart that Huahua was really ingenious.

"Okay!" Rong Jiu cleared his throat, "Cough, I order you, stop!"

As if a static spell had been cast, the screen kept stopping, some elves even kept running towards the wall, paused in mid-air, and then——

Boom!With a bang, they all fell to the ground.

The only thing that remains the same is that these tennis ball eyes are looking at Rong Jiu tearfully.

Rong Jiu rubbed her temples. It seemed too difficult to teach them by herself, so she decided to change it: "Come on, I will teach you another method, you should pay attention."

This time she learned her lesson, instead of making those delicate dumplings, she folded them in half, and then pinched the lace to finish the job.

In order to appease the elves, Rong Jiu said, "This dumpling stuffing will leak out after a long time, so it's not easy to pack. You told me that you are very neat, so don't smash your own signboard."

Although the little elves didn't know what signboard they had, they really became stronger now. They changed from obeying orders to obeying orders desperately, and all of them looked serious.Rong Jiu took the opportunity to tell them to be careful not to squeeze the stuffing out and so on.

Seeing everyone wrapping up seriously, Rong Jiu sat back in her seat, delicate dumplings were born from her hands, and soon, there was a dumpling in front of her.

A group of people are making dumplings in full swing. This kind of time is really like when she was a child...

Unknowingly, the stuffing has been reduced by half.Rong Jiu counted the number of bags he had packaged, and there were about thirty or so.Let’s add some little elves, one person packs about five or six, and the total is almost three hundred, but they are obviously made with great care, not exquisite, but they are very cute and tidy, and pleasing to the eye.

Rong Jiu turned his head blackly: "Huahua, how much stuffing did you make?"

Huahua raised her head and blinked her eyes: "About 5 kilograms."

Ten catties of stuffing... Rong Jiu let out a breath.He signaled Huahua to continue wrapping, and calculated the number by himself, and wrapped another thirty or so.

At this time, the stuffing finally bottomed out, Rong Jiu signaled Huahua to bring the pan, light it up, apply oil, put the dumplings made by herself one by one, then add a bowl of water, cover the pot, and count the time It's almost done, repeat the action just now, until the third time the lid is lifted, this time what is added is no longer water, but surface water with flour.

"Dear guest, why is flour and water added to this dish?" a house elf asked timidly.

Rong Jiu smiled: "One is that the dumplings are not cooked, and the other is that after adding this, the fried dumplings will have a thin, crunchy, burnt bottom and edges."

The elves suddenly realized.

After all the dumplings made by Rong Jiu were fried, she asked the elves for two pizza-like cartons. After thinking about it, she ordered a smaller one, and put all the fried dumplings in it.Looking at the time, he asked the elves to boil a large pot of water and put diced tomatoes and chopped onions in it.Rong Jiu told the elves to wait for the soup to get some color before putting in the dumplings. He found a big pot, a big soup pot, and a small soup pot, put in salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, dripped a few drops of vinegar, Throw in some seaweed.

She had carried many things from China by herself, which made her feel very distressed.

Picking up the two big boxes by myself, I was about to go out, and then I thought about it: "Let's fry the dumplings in two more pots, put them in a big plate and a small plate, and if they are ready later, with the tableware, you can Help me get to Slytherin together? To Draco Malfoy."

"Okay!" Huahua happily replied.

"The one with the small soup pot and the small plate, can you deliver it to Gryffindor for me?" Rong Jiu asked again, "Well, for Miss Hermione Granger of Gryffindor...or Harry Mr Potter."

"Okay!" Huahua didn't say anything, but Xingxing responded.It appears that the stars are in charge of Gryffindor.

Rong Jiu walked to the door with a smile, and was about to open the door when she suddenly turned her head: "Oh, there is still that big pot of dumplings left for you. Thank you!"

After she finished speaking, before the elves could react, she quickly ran out.The moment the door closed, Rong Jiu seemed to feel the ground tremble twice, and there was a tidy and loud knocking sound coming from inside.

Rong Jiu shrugged.

Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he narrowly bumped into a black wall of flesh.Rong Jiu was startled, jumped back quickly, raised her head...

Hehehehehe what a fucking coincidence.

"Professor Snape, good evening!" It sounded like a serious greeting, and it would be perfect if it didn't match that mournful face.

"After just getting homework on two parchments for Potions class, I think Miss Rong should come out of some other place, such as the library, instead of..." Snape's dark eyes turned to the side wall Glanced.

Rong Jiu rolled his eyes, threw the lower box which was heavy in his hands aside, and picked up the upper box with both hands, trying to put on a cute appearance: "Professor, this is yours."

Snape glanced at the box she threw out, which was floating steadily in the air at this moment, feeling a little satisfied in his heart, but he didn't answer: "Oh? Miss Rong didn't explain what she did? It seems Even a troll's brain knows some things to do and some things not to do, but they still can't control their impulsive nerves." And then swept the box, "What is this?"

"Dumplings." Rong Jiu replied obediently, "I made them myself, and I prepared this one for you a long time ago."

Professor Snape raised an eyebrow.

Rong Jiu brewed his emotions for a while: "It's such a professor, I really miss my hometown, even if I can't go back and have a look, then it's good to eat something from my hometown..."

Snape snorted, but when Rong Jiu said the latter, he really had a bit of sincerity, and it really touched him a bit.

He took the cardboard box from her hand: "I think Miss Rong's insignificant brain capacity should be filled with less miscellaneous things, otherwise she won't have the extra ability to study." Then he opened it.

The fried dumplings just out of the pan are very attractive. The thin golden edges seem to be able to be dyed. Gradually, some golden color has invaded upwards, but it still fades slowly. The top is already light yellow, and each one Exquisite and small, the top bend is neatly facing one side, outlining the appearance of waves; the skin is very thin, and you can see that the green, red, and yellow are crowded together inside, which is very lively, and the fragrance is in the lively Curly rising, in the dark basement, like human fireworks rising from hell.

Professor Snape glanced up at Rong Jiu unexpectedly: "It looks good."

"Then professor... would you like to try one? It will be delicious while it's hot." Rong Jiu looked at his dean expectantly.

At this time, because of anticipation, she stood on tiptoe slightly, leaned her body, and raised her head. The beating fire light reflected in her eyes, it seemed to become a prairie fire, and like a bright galaxy, with a surging sincere request, His eyes blinked, and he met another pair of dark and deep eyes.

Those eyes were completely different from hers, as calm and deep as the deepest night.

At that moment, both of them were in a trance.

Snape remembered a pair of green eyes, the owner of those eyes was much more delicate, almost all the emotions came out of those eyes.When he first saw her, she was also about the same age, no, she was younger. Seeing the blooming flowers in his hands, there was only a shallow, shy smile on her lips, but the happiness in those eyes seemed to be in full bloom. The fireworks and the falling stars inevitably burned him.

Rong Jiu, on the other hand, thought of the usual Professor Snape, who seemed harsh, harsh and indifferent, almost naively favoring his own college, and aimed at Gryffindor. If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the windows inside The scenery must be more than these, otherwise it would not be so profound, broad and thrilling.

However, it was only for a moment that both of them came back to their senses.Snape hesitated for a moment, then finally picked one up and put it in his mouth.He just chewed a mouthful, and he suddenly paused slightly, his face suddenly became not very good-looking.

Rong Jiu only felt that her heart was about to stop, but fortunately the professor continued to chew again, and her heart started beating again, but this time it was not anticipation, but apprehension.

As a result, the professor obviously finished eating, but he closed the lid without saying a word, passed Rong Jiu, and walked forward.

"Hey..." Rong Jiu was at a loss, what's going on?

After walking about two or three steps, Snape suddenly stopped again: "One voluntary labor in my office at six o'clock on Monday night."

"Eh?!"

Snape snorted and walked on.The pitch-black robe swayed exaggeratedly with his footsteps, it really looked like a bat...

Rong Jiu returned to the common room in a daze.The efficiency of the elves was very fast, and they had already sent the dumplings into Slytherin. At this time, the inside was boiling, and they were scrambling to divide the dumplings. Everyone was full of praise, and Draco, who was supposed to be eating dumplings, saw her When I came back, I jumped over angrily: "Didn't you cook it for me? Why did you prepare so much!"

Anyway, it was just by the way... Rong Jiu swallowed this sentence, and replied with a guilty conscience: "Because there are too many elf bags... I have prepared one for you separately!"

"Oh?" Draco was a little annoyed.

Rong Jiu took out a small box from behind: "Here, I wrapped it with my own hands. My hands, let me tell you, they look very good-looking. The food they eat is hand-made by elves. This is completely my own." Oh, I made it myself."

She had figured it out while frying, two large ones, one 25, for Professor Snape and Dumbledore, one small one, eighteen, for Draco.

"Hmm..." Draco's face softened a little now, he opened the box and saw that exquisite appearance made him very satisfied.He pops one into his mouth, and—

"Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

Rong Jiu looked at Draco's reaction dumbfounded, and suddenly remembered that what the elf brought must be at a temperature suitable for the entrance, and the one she was going to give away was originally going to go back to the dormitory and pack it before sending it out, that is to say...

She thought of Professor Snape's suddenly pale face...

Merlin!
