Chapter 112: The Banquet Of The Undead
But after thinking about it, he grabbed his notebook and turned to leave.
"Show me what's written in your diary!"
On the other side, Braun was also dragged to the waiting room by Sabini.
With them are Theodore and Daphne.
"Is this thing really delicious?"
Daphne looked at the section, and couldn't help asking with her wriggling hand.
She felt that this thing was really disgusting, and it didn't look like something that humans ate.
"Trust me Daphne!
This stuff is so delicious!"
Zabini encouraged, and Theodore kept nodding.
Since the last time he ate Braun's stir-fried shredded squid, he couldn't forget it.
I also tried it at home, but it was not as authentic as Braun's.
Sabini wanted to say something else.
But in the end, under the instigation of everyone, he went outside the kitchen.
Braun skillfully scratched the big green pear in the portrait.
Accompanied by the laughter of 'eat, eat'.
A door handle appeared in front of everyone.
"Come on, why are you standing there?"
Shouted to Daphne who was still standing there.
The other party just followed Braun into the kitchen.
In the kitchen of Hogwarts, like the auditorium, there are four long tables corresponding to the four colleges.
Whenever the food is ready, the house elf will put the food on the long table.
Use the plate on the table to teleport into the auditorium.
"What smells so bad?"
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Zabini was almost vomited by an unpleasant smell.
The house elves who were still busy saw a little wizard.
Hastily put down the work at hand and ran over.
"Sico! What's all this?"
Looking at the pile of rotten food on the table, Braun couldn't help frowning.
"Oh! Sorry sir."
Sickle quickly told the other house-elves to push the rotting food into other compartments.
"Halloween is coming soon.
This year marks Sir Nick's 500th birthday.
He was going to entertain his dead friends from all over the world in the underground classroom.
It has to be held every ten years, and we are actually very distressed.
The taste of these foods is overwhelming.
We had to leave them out to cool at night. "
It can be heard that the house-elves are quite complaining about this matter.
After all, it really doesn't taste very good to put such a large pile of rotten food in the kitchen.
"Can the undead also eat?"
Daphne couldn't help asking.
"They're edible, but tasteless."
Braun explained aloud from the side:
"Rotten food has a strong smell, so it gives them a sense.
Generally speaking, the older the undead, the less emotion they show.
They become more and more numb over time and eventually lose their emotion.
Some wizards believe that undead are those wizards who still have nostalgia for the world and refuse to face death, forming a kind of existence between life and death.
When they are truly willing to face death, they may embark on a new journey. "
Several people listened to Braun's explanation with half understanding.
However, he soon turned his attention to the huge tentacle.
"Come on Braun! Show Daphne what you can do!"
Sabini said excitedly.
Braun was speechless.
Having said so much with myself, you still want to eat tentacles.
"Sir, we can actually do it too!"
Xi Ke looked at the big tentacles and was eager to try.
The same goes for the house elves who tasted fried shredded squid together last time.
Hard work is their vocation.
It is in their nature to serve wizards.
The will that has been instilled in their minds since childhood makes them very much hope to serve Braun them now.
Sabini hesitated.
In the end, he readily agreed.
"Okay, but you must handle it well.
During this time, big summer dishes also appeared in Hogwarts dinners from time to time.
The taste is still good.
This is what Zabini is willing to give to these house elves with confidence.
Take the giant tentacles.
The house elves were happily discussing how to deal with it.
The four of Braun sat at the dining table and waited.
The enthusiastic elves brought them baked cakes and heated up the leftover barbecue from the dinner just now.
Served with a jug of milk.
Even though it wasn't long after dinner.
But at the moment, looking at these foods, he subconsciously ate some.
It didn't take long.
Sickle and another house-elf came over with a huge plate.
On a plate are fried yellowish squid tentacles.
The spicy taste mixed with the umami taste made several little wizards swallow their saliva.
"Woo.....Delicious! Even better than your cooking Braun~々!"
Sabini couldn't wait to fork a piece of squid meat and stuff it into his mouth.
Don't forget to comment while eating.
"Eating can't stop your mouth!"
Braun rolled his eyes.
I also ate it myself.
I have to say that the other party's craftsmanship is indeed better than my own.
But this is also normal, at best, in my previous life, I was just a person who knew how to cook home-cooked food.
These house-elves who know the magic of a Hufflepuff kitchen are, after all, Michelin-starred hotel chefs.
There is definitely no comparison between yourself and the other party.
While thinking, the fork mercilessly stuffed one piece after another into his mouth.
Looking at the three men who didn't eat, Daphne seemed a little puzzled.
"Is it really so delicious?"
She tried to fork a piece into her mouth.
Immediately after his eyes lit up, he followed the three of them and joined the ranks of the battle regardless of his ladylike temperament.
half an hour later.
The four of them leaned back on their chairs and hiccupped, with a messy plate in front of them.
Compared to what Braun used to do.
The improvements made by the elves are obviously more in line with the taste of the English.
The taste is slightly spicy but not so exaggerated.
The elves cleaned up the table attentively and brought juice for everyone.
Finally, he waved goodbye to everyone.
"These house-elves are so warm!"
Sabini sighed while drinking the juice.
"They have always been like this, and their mission is to serve wizards.
Theodore said indifferently.
It seems that this behavior of the house-elves is justified.
"If only I had one at home.
I talked to my mom, but she said it's not easy to do.
The house-elves are all monopolized by the pure-blood twenty-eight families!"
Sabini said dissatisfied.
Although his family is rich, sometimes there are some things that cannot be obtained with money.
"You should tell Braun about this.
He, Uncle, is the director of the Department of Magical Creatures.
Might be able to get it for you. "
Theodore pouted at Braun.
Zabini also looked at Braun.
"I'll ask for it for you, but it doesn't have to be.
After all, you also know that few people buy and sell house-elves these days.
"That's fine! If you have any news, you must tell me!"
Sabine looked very happy.
He also knew that house-elves were a scarce resource.
It's nice of Braun to be able to ask.
He didn't expect too much.
"Which one isn't Harry Potter?"
Zabini pointed to the figure coming from the hall.
"Maybe he just came back from training.
Looking at Harry Potter Braun, who was wearing an orange wizard robe and carrying a broom, he frowned and said.
"The Gryffindors must be terrified!
That fellow Malfoy sponsored seven of the latest Nimbus Two Thousands this time.
These poor ghosts of Gryffindor can only rely on more training. "
Theodore was amazed.
"It's none of our business, let's go, but it will be troublesome when Filch comes over.
Daphne said nervously.
Shabini and Theodore, who originally wanted to say something more, stopped talking.
If they were asked to choose the most hated person in the whole school, it would definitely not be Gryffindor but Filch.
This old guy always likes to catch little wizards everywhere.
If it is really discovered by the other party.
That's no joke.
"Braun, let's go first!"
"Yes, Filch will be here later."
The three of them bid farewell to Braun hurriedly and went downstairs.
Braun didn't continue to stay here either.
Instead, walk towards the fourth floor.
"Sir!
Did you see anyone else?"
Harry frowned and looked around.
But no one was found.
"Others? No!
I haven't told you about my participation in the Headless Horseman yet.
Those guys rejected my application again!
I really don’t understand, am I considered headless?”
While speaking, Nick also opened his head.
It looked terribly frightening.
"You're right sir! They shouldn't have turned you down! I guess I'll have to..."
Harry Potter was going to be perfunctory, but before he finished speaking, Nick interrupted him again.
"No one wants to be chopped off more than a dozen times by a big ax that weighs more than 40 kilograms!
Don't I want to make the executioner feel better, so as not to add more pain to me?"
Nico chattered and continued to complain.
Harry, on the other hand, stood there helplessly.
shivering from the cold,
Eager to go back to the common room to rest by the warm fire.
Because Malfoy had sponsored seven new broomsticks for the Slytherin team, and those broomsticks were extremely fast.
Gryffindor's sweeping series simply couldn't catch up with each other.
In order to be able to guarantee victory over Slytherin.
Wood asked them to strengthen their training.
Train for challenges in various extreme environments.
To him, Slytherin was nothing more than a bunch of flowers in a greenhouse, better off with a broom.
And this season is the rainy season.
At that time, the Gryffindors who are familiar with the training will definitely be able to defeat those Slytherins with ease.
Of course, the price for this is that they trained in heavy rain for an afternoon today.
The rain literally drenched him from the inside out.
Even if the wizard's robe is waterproof, it cannot withstand such high-intensity training.
After all, the rainwater poured into the skin along the collar, and the wizard robe couldn't prevent it.
Nico also seemed to notice Harry's trembling body.
Look a little guilty:
"Sorry Harry, as a ghost I do get a bit talkative sometimes.
you go quickly.
don't be
Filch caught it.
He's not in a good mood today.
Because of the heavy rain, many little wizards were playing in the castle, and muddy water was all over the floor.
He had already punished several young wizards. "
After hearing Nick's words, before Harry had time to thank him, he was suddenly taken aback.
Because he saw the skinny black cat on the stairs licking its paw.
He was staring at himself unblinkingly with those orange eyes.
"Harry Potter!"
The moment he saw Harry Potter, Filch angrily walked over.
"..." I just cleaned the floor this afternoon! Why can't you be honest?"
Filch didn't give Harry any chance to explain.
Picking up his clothes, he walked towards his office.
No matter how Harry explained, he couldn't let the other party let go.
"Can't little wizards like you stay in your dormitory quietly?"
"Why do you always make trouble for other people?"
While talking, he took out a penalty table.
Penalty was written on it.
"Harry Potter! Dirty hallways! Punishment: Clean hallways for a week!"
Filch said angrily.
Pushing the form with the punishment written on it into Harry's hand.
Then angrily drove the other party out.
It didn't take long to come out roaring again, and rushed to the second floor with a broom.
"Filch! Big fool!"
Peeves' shrill voice came from upstairs.
"Peves! Push the corridor armor down again!
Just wait! See if I get the headmaster to kick you out sooner or later. "
Listen to each other growl.
Harry shivered, he didn't dare to provoke Filch anymore.
Now the other party is very angry, if he continues to provoke, maybe the punishment will increase.
Thinking about it, Harry hurried upstairs.
"Harry, how did it work?
I had Peeves push the armor down to get Filch's attention. "
Nick's sudden appearance in front of Harry startled him.
"Yes, thank you sir."
An ugly grin appeared on Harry's face.
He did not tell the other party that his behavior did not help himself.
Nick seemed happy to be able to help Harry.
"That's good. By the way, do you have time for Halloween?
I would like to invite you to my 500th birthday and death anniversary. "
As Harry walked upstairs, Nick floated aside and asked.
"500th birthday?"
Harry looked a little surprised at Nick in front of him.
"Yes, I have been dead for five hundred years."
There was some emotion in Nick's tone.
Then he looked at Harry expectantly.
"How? It'll be in an empty classroom in the basement by then.
There will be ghosts from all over England attending.
very interesting.
You get to meet a lot of people, maybe even your Potter ancestors. (Hao Zhao)”
Harry, who was still thinking of rejecting.
After hearing the other party mention his ancestors, he changed his mind.
He has always been very curious about his life experience.
The same is true for your own family.
It's just that whether it's Ron or others, they know that they are the so-called 'savior'.
I don't know anything else about my family.
If we can meet the ancestors of the Potter family by then...
"Okay then! I promise.
I'll be there when the time comes!"
"That's great!"
Nick turned his head happily.
He even opened his head again, showing how he lost his head at that time.
"It's fine if your friends want to come! Don't worry Harry!
I'll send you an invitation then!"
While talking, the other party's body disappeared into the stairs.
And Harry also hurried to the lounge.
"Why so late?"
The fat lady looked dissatisfied.
But at the moment, Harry, whose body was frozen stiff, was in no mood to chat with the other party.
After saying the password, he hurried back to the lounge.
"Ha...Harry, you're back, it's a bit late."
Ron asked sleepily.
Harry took off his soaked cloak and dropped his broom.
Put on warm and comfortable pajamas.
It wasn't until I got into the bed that I finally felt warmed up.
"I got caught by Filch, who made me clean the corridors for a week.
"You are really unlucky."
Ron said sympathetically.
But Harry didn't want to talk to Ron about it at the moment.
Instead, he talked about with great excitement that Nick invited him to participate in the anniversary of the death of the dead.
"Nick said that many ghosts will come at that time.
Maybe there are my ancestors too!
At that time, I will be able to know my parents, my grandfather, and even more ancient ancestors.
"That's really nice."
Ron looked a little depressed.
Because he was not invited by Nick.
"You can come with me then! Nick said I can bring my friends!"
