At the new home of Grindelwald, the vice-chancellor of Hogwarts, a group of parents and their little wizards stared blankly at the banquet being staged in the courtyard at this time, and forgot to pick up the large pumpkin candy basket engraved with "Please take yourself" near the door.

In another place in the courtyard where the ingredients are cooked and processed, all kinds of kitchen utensils are neatly arranged. A long table of ornate lacquered red was placed in the middle, and on the table covered with white tablecloths were several candles with unique metal stands, all of which shone with an expensive luster in the candlelight, and the German-style lamps and candles floated high in the air to decorate the wine and food on the long table with a hazy glow.

If it weren't for the fact that the soil in the courtyard was littered with several blackened corpses, with layers of mushrooms of different sizes growing on their eyes, bodies, and limbs, it would have been dressed up more like a frightening open-air restaurant than the strange decorations of the neighbors.

The large ones that grow on the body are like broad leaves, and the ones on the neck are as small as mottled scales, and the color of these mushrooms is like the 'soil' that feeds them, and the dark flesh color is faintly mixed with gray, and these mushrooms grow very vigorously.

Although even if they knew that this was just a pretense and should not be a real thing, in the eyes of the onlookers, they only felt that the cold hairs on their bodies stood up and itched all over their bodies, and in accordance with the situation at the dinner table, the feeling of wanting to gag went straight to their throats - in fact, many people had really vomited, but in addition to disgusting and fear, some other things in the field attracted them to continue watching.

Because of the large number of people invited, the guests of this banquet were all gone after eating, and the man who was waiting for the meal was the wizard Grimson, who sat on the left side of the long table, and there was nothing unusual except that he had been disemboweled, revealing the organs in his chest and abdomen. There were also two of Grindelwald's former subordinates in this row, one of whom had his leg amputated and was bleeding out, but he was eating a piece of roast leg, and the other with a severed tongue was cutting the last bit of stewed tongue.

Xenophilius Lovegood and Penelope's parents seemed to have been seated for a short time, and he was familiarly setting the dishes for his two ugly, frightened Muggle friends.

As the host of this banquet, Grindelwald was dressed very modestly, his white shirt was very neat, there was almost no wrinkles, and the buttons were tied directly to the neckline, and he was cooking for his guests.

Just like the Dark Lord's note magic that Alan and Luna had learned about when they were in Durmstrang, some of the music drifted around the courtyard, Muggle classical music played melodiously in the courtyard, and Grindelwald just got stuck on the rhythm and spread a fresh lung on the board, the lungs were steaming, fresh and healthy in terms of color.

His slender hands folded and pressed forcefully against the lungs to the rhythm of the music, expelling the remaining air and impurities from the lobes through rhythmic compression. Air squeezes out of your lungs and makes a popping sound? It's like a bubble that floats up and then bursts? The silver blade glowed coldly in the moonlight, and the blade cut into the squeezed lungs without any hindrance? Chopped into minced meat with other offal? Then pour them into a piece of stomach along with side dishes such as onions, oats, etc...

Grindelwald's squeezing and cutting back is like a lonely peak, silent but chilling, oppressive and terrifying—this is why the crowd of onlookers around them refused to leave in the midst of horror and disgust? Grindelwald's cooking also has demagogic power, very rhythmic? A subtle curiosity and fear drove them to watch.

Grindelwald puts the freshly processed stomach in the boiling pot? After casting a spell to blind everyone's eyes with an illusion, he sandwiched a piece of finished product that had been simmering for three hours on a plate, scooped a few spoonfuls of mashed potatoes and vegetables, and placed it in front of Rednose Grimson? Then use a knife to cut open the stomach wall and let the internal offal filling come out.

"Scotland's famous dish haggis? It is more suitable with whisky. Grindelwald said and put a glass of wine for the other party, his indifferent gaze swept over the other party's empty chest, and gentlemanly stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture: "Grimson, this plate is well done, isn't it good for your liver to drink too much?" However, the lungs are healthy and very tender. ”

"I followed your advice and haven't smoked much...", Red-nosed Grimmson said with some emotion? With his voice even higher than ever, he raised his glass to Grindelwald? Under the effect of illusion, his ribs were torn apart like wings to the sides? The rest of the organs inside were still shaking with his movements? "Gellert? The last time I ate your food was more than 50 years ago, and it was a great honor for me to be able to attend your dinner again... It's a pity that Linda is gone, and her French food is also very good. ”

"Mrs. Harris is also said to be a good cook, and maybe as a member of Rozier, she will have Linda's recipes... But you'll be able to drink that little glass tonight, and we'll have a few more years to enjoy it..."Grindelwald gestured to the side of the pumpkin bucket he had placed in the doorway, "Don't go so fast after eating, there's a purple velvet box in the hallway, I was shopping with Dumbledore the other day, and he saw a bowler's hat in the Offfan Ready-to-Wear Store... He's promised the Weasleys to go to the New Burrow for the holidays today, so I think this new hat would be a good fit for you... Take it with you when you go. ”

After a brief greeting, ignoring Grimson, who didn't know how to respond to this kind of awkward and Dumbledore, Grindelwald turned back to his Chef appearance, and he turned to the newcomer Xenophilius: "I'm very sorry, Xenophilius, and... If I'm not mistaken, the Crivats?" he bowed to the Crivats, "It's an honor for you to accept my invitation while you're busy working on new laws..."

"Gatler, you've made it so appealing, and they all think it's just weird and not scary for the house I built for Flippe, and they don't get many votes. Xenophilius pointed to the onlookers who were curious about the show and the identity of the former Dark Lord, he noticed Grindelwald's eyes and looked down at the Deathly Hallows on his chest, "Speaking of which, it was because of this necklace that I was beaten up as your follower when I went to Europe... Luckily, Pandora is amazing..."

"I'm sorry about that... Anyone familiar with them can be sure that it is not my mark..."Grindelwald's gaze swept over the symbol on his gold chain that resembled a triangular eye, and then he noticed that the Crivats were looking at the mushrooms in the courtyard and the guests who were constantly spooning themselves to eat the bloody brains from their skulls, and even more strangely, his tongue was still forked.

"Oh, that's the anterior lobe, and it doesn't matter if Abernethy doesn't have it, but the brain itself doesn't feel any pain... Although I personally recommend that he eat his tongue..."Grindelwald looked at the crowd around him gasping after hearing his explanation, he smiled softly, then leaned over behind the chairs of the Crivantes, and then covered their eyes with two hands, "Don't worry, kind sir and lady, these are just illusions, just for the Halloween atmosphere they are performing with me... I'm not going to kill people just to grow mushrooms... Maybe you've heard The Silence of the Lambs, Muggle movies now fascinate me, like their music..."

Under Grindelwald's men, the scene before the eyes of the Crivats changed, and they saw through the illusion that the real scene of the banquet was clear - the corpse in front of them that was lying on the ground covered with mushrooms was actually nothing more than a rotten log in the form of a human, and the wizard who was eating his brain, called Abernetsi, had only put a special plate on his head, and the human brain on it had become the original Parmesan baked sheep's brain.

"Bach is the father of Western music... But my daughter prefers Beethoven..."

"It's a good movie, and I have to admit that the costumes are very subtle, Mr. Grindelwald... You do look a lot like Hannibal. ”

The Crivats tugged at the corners of their lips and smiled politely in return—they were accustomed to blending in with the so-called high society, and they usually refused invitations to such high-ranking wizards, and now that they had seen through the illusions, the slight regret that the scenery around them was too realistic had dissipated.

"Whether it's Merlin the Wizard or the Muggle God or even the Ravenclaw Lady giving us the will, we don't just want to create art, we want to be art....every life is a piece of music, we are limited affairs, we have unique arrangements..."Grindelwald shrugged, "Merlin and God must also love to kill, they are always there... And aren't we made it in the image of these gods?" Applying a copy charm to a menu that was too thick to speak, they came to them in three portions, "Honorable three guests... If it's not on the menu, it's okay to say that as long as you have the ingredients on you and I can make them... Please take a look at it first, but before that..."

With that, Grindelwald retreated to his kitchen area, waved his wand, and in the oil filter basket next to the oil pan, the fish and chips flew automatically into paper pockets and were packaged, and then he commanded the pockets to fly accurately into the hands of the surrounding crowd of onlookers.

Grindelwald's approach cheered the wizards who had been watching them eat and starving, and the English wizards had no real understanding of him because they had never been to England during the time of the rage, only to realize that the first Dark Lord was not as terrifying and unapproachable as they had been rumored to be.

"I can't let the little wizards stand around and just watch, it's not in line with my habit of being a human being... It's a sin against the development of the wizarding world... So I'm going to do something to warm you up..."Grindelwald raised his index finger to his lips as he erupted into louder cheers and applause, and with a faint smile on his face, he put that index finger away from his mouth and pointed to the sky, "but before the dinner begins... Please note that I don't have here... Vegetarian. ”

(Author's note: Middle-aged Hannibal Max Mikkelsen is expected to succeed Johnny Depp as Grindelwald, almost two years ago he used Hannibal's image to portray the first appearance of the book Grindelwald was complained that it was inappropriate, and now the author who feels that he has made a prophecy is full of confidence again.) On the other hand, the author of "The Silence of the Lambs" also happens to be a Harris, named Thomas Harris. ）
