Ryan had no idea that just by glaring at a vampire, the cleanup of the Romanian vampire family had already been discovered, scaring an author and a vampire half to death. After Harry came over, the four of them hid in a corner and started tasting
Good food tonight.
Ryan had eaten a lot less at the previous Christmas banquet just for tonight's party. Now it seems that it was completely worth it, because at this banquet he saw a lot of food that is usually very rare. For example, using certain
Delicacies cooked with magical animals and magical plants.
Just as Ryan was curiously looking at the whole roasted dwarf pig monster with a baked apple stuffed in its mouth, Harry was taken away by Professor Slughorn who suddenly appeared. So this
There were only three people left at the small table in the corner.
"I thought I could relax with Harry today." Ginny said with some displeasure after watching Harry and the fat professor squeeze into the crowd and go away.
"Just take care of yourself and have fun. Harry will definitely go to the Burrow during the Christmas vacation. Then you will have plenty of time to get along. So, try this mead. It seems to be brewed with special magic. Basically.
Are you drunk? I think it tastes good." Hermione picked up a wine glass filled with golden liquid and handed it to Ginny.
"Thanks." Ginny took the cup and took a sip before looking at the wine bottle on the table. "Three Broomsticks 15-year-old? I heard that the output of this thing is not large. My father told me that one bottle of this wine
It's 7 Galleons and there's no price for it. Professor Slughorn is really generous for today's party."
Ryan looked at the pile of bottles stacked in the corner, and had to admit that what Ginny said made sense. It can be seen that Slughorn can make so many connections and not be annoying just because he is a professor or he is very good at it.
As a person, he is not stingy at all when he needs to spend money.
Although everyone comes here mainly for socializing, even during such a gathering, various kinds of food are brought in from outside from time to time. For example, now Ryan found several house elves carrying a dark red plate on a silver plate.
The meatballs walked into the office, and one of them happened to be walking towards Ryan.
"Kara, what is this?" Ryan found out that he knew this house elf. When he went out to exercise in the morning, he would occasionally meet him cleaning the house in the common room. He also found that he walked with a slight limp.
After the beginning of this semester, Ryan told several ghosts in the school who were close to each other that he had made great progress in alchemy and was able to help people in need. Headless Nick volunteered as an intermediary to introduce it and
Several house elves with rheumatism or old injuries came to Lane for treatment.
Although Ryan's main purpose of treating the house elves at that time was to study the house elves and test the effect of his alchemy medicine, it was also real that he helped the house elves cure difficult and complicated diseases. These house elves were very important to Ryan.
After treating their injuries, they were very happy to be able to devote themselves to work. So Ryan naturally successfully improved his reputation in the kitchen to admiration.
"Ah, Dear Mr. Lane." Carla also obviously recognized Lane. She placed the plate on the table next to her and bowed deeply. "This dish is Tartar Dragon Meatballs, made with
The tenderest tenderloin of the fresh Ukrainian iron belly is chopped into small dices, mixed with raw eggs, diced parsley, and pickled cucumbers, then added with seasonings and rolled into meatballs."
"So - this is raw?" Ginny asked in surprise. Although Europeans do not choose grilled and overcooked meat or fish when it comes to meat selection, they do not like raw food like the Japanese. So in
When they heard that the meatballs in front of them were raw, both ladies looked a little intimidated.
"Yes." Kara said in the sharp tone unique to house elves, "And the taste of this dish is very strong. I just saw someone over there covering his nose when talking to others after eating. If you
If you want to communicate with people for a while, this dish may not be suitable." After saying that, it bowed again, and then exited the office together with other house elves.
"Isn't it appropriate to talk to others after eating it?" As soon as the house elf left, Harry ran out from Slughorn again. After hearing the introduction of the house elf, he started stuffing meatballs into his mouth.
It seemed that he was tired of being dragged around before.
"Potter? Why are you hiding here? Slughorn is looking for you over there. By the way, this plate of food looks delicious." Cormac McLaggen, who had been following Slughorn before.
Walking over, he was well-dressed and had a Malfoy-style slicked back hair. He looked like he was at home in such social situations.
He walked to the plate and started to eat the meatballs, and at the same time asked vaguely: "Do you know what we are eating? I heard the house elf said that the ingredients of this dish are very precious."
"Dragon ball," Harry said calmly. After hearing Harry's words, Cormac froze in place, chewed twice subconsciously, then suddenly turned around and bent over and spit it out. As a result, Silla was
Ghorn happened to appear on the other side of the table and wanted to say something to Harry. His face was red, his velvet hat was a little crooked, he was holding mead in one hand and holding Snape in the other hand. Cormac had no idea because his back was to them.
Seeing this, he turned around and vomited all over Snape's pants.
Cormac didn't notice this at first, but when he slowly straightened up after vomiting, he looked at the familiar clothes in front of him, and his whole body was as stiff as a wooden board.
"Very well, you have earned yourself a month of confinement, McLaggen." After saying this, Snape ignored McLaggen who looked hopeless and turned to look at Harry, "I heard Slug
Professor Horn told a funny joke. He said that you learned a lot from my class and became a potion genius. But I don’t think I taught you anything?"
"Then he inherited her mother's talent." Slughorn said. "I remember when Lily——"
But before he finished speaking, there was a small chaos at the door, and then Draco Malfoy was pulled by Filch's ear and walked over.
"Professor Slughorn," Filch huffed, the flesh on his chin trembling, "I found this boy hiding in the corridor upstairs. This is against discipline. Because the headmaster said before that without permission
You are not allowed to wander around at night, so I want to ask if you have sent him an invitation?"
"No, okay?" Malfoy looked angrily and threw Filch's arm away, "I did break the school rules, is that enough?"
"It doesn't matter, Argus, it doesn't matter," Slughorn waved his hand and said, "It's not a sin to want to go to the party at Christmas. Forget it this time, it won't happen next time. Draco, you can stay."
Malfoy immediately put on a smile and thanked Slughorn for his generosity. At the same time, they talked about Malfoy's grandfather. However, Ryan found that Malfoy looked in bad spirits, as if he had been on an all-night raid for several days before the final exam.
Same.
"I have something to tell you, Draco." Snape said suddenly.
"Gee, Severus," said Slughorn, burping again, "don't be too hard on the children at Christmas—"
"I am his head of house, and it is up to me to decide whether to be strict or not." Snape said briefly, "Follow me, Draco."
"I'm going to the bathroom." Watching Snape and the others go away, Harry also found an excuse to squeeze out. However, he went to the bathroom long enough this time, and none of them were there until the end of the party.
Wait until Harry comes back. Fortunately, when they finally returned to the common room together, they learned the news of Harry's safe return from the fat lady at the door. Otherwise, Ginny would definitely be too nervous to sleep tonight.
