Happiness is always short-lived, and that's why it's so precious.

The Hogwarts kitchen didn't cook much [Stargazing Pie] tonight, and if you follow the complete process of a European dinner, it will be evenly distributed to each person's head roughly equivalent to less than half a starter.

If you want to use an analogy, it is similar to the appearance of about half an appetizer in a Chinese restaurant.

As the last plate of delicious [Stargazing Pie] disappeared from the mouths of the teachers and students, the food debris on the golden plate was swept away and became neat and clean again.

Based on past experience, the next step should be the emergence of new dishes.

However......

"What does this mean?!"

"Hmm, what's wrong with the Hogwarts kitchens?"

"Wait...... They're not going to ......?"

Snap, snap, snap.

The next moment, a large group of lively Hogwarts Black Lagoon herring appeared at the end of the long table in each house, their tails slapping the ground with a snapping sound.

In the center of each house's long table is a row of neatly arranged ovens (magic version).

Students had already learned how to use this magically driven item in previous Potions lessons, and it was not unfamiliar to them now, as most wizarding homes had similar ovens.

In addition to the most basic ingredients and cooking tools, of course, there is the most important "How to Play Guide".

With the appearance of the herring and the oven, a light ink-colored recipe also appeared in front of each student out of thin air.

As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, and Elena has always agreed with this view.

Therefore, on that light ink-colored recipe, the entire cooking process of "Looking Up at the Stars" is recorded in detail - from the selection and processing of ingredients, to the use of condiments and subsequent cooking methods.

Considering that this is a Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Elena also carefully annotated some magic that might be used under the recipe, such as "clean up", "clear water like a spring", and "flames......

"So, ladies and gentlemen. Standing on the cooking table next to the faculty desk, Elena tilted her head cutely and said softly, "The ingredients, the utensils, and the recipes are all ready for you...... Now, it's your turn. ”

Looking around at the petrified students around her, the corners of Elena's mouth rose slightly, revealing a devilish smile.

"By the way, you have to eat all the things you make, otherwise-"

I saw that the girl paused, and clapped her hands with extra ease.

"The dish you've just eaten will be the last one you'll eat in the coming semester, one cooked in the Hogwarts kitchen. Whoever wastes food, food will also abandon him. ”

With Elena's voice, the entire Hogwarts Great Hall instantly boiled.

Frankly speaking, although Elena has become a certain recognition among all grades of Hogwarts as a teaching assistant in Potions these days, and her identity as the head chef of Hogwarts has almost spread on campus.

However, for most young wizards, the most prominent label on her is still "Hufflepuff first-year".

"What?!"

"Why did you decide that!"

"The professors haven't ...... yet"

Boom!

Click!

Before the indignant voices of the young wizards in the Great Hall could grow louder and louder, a cold light flashed, piercing the entire Hogwarts corridor like lightning, and flew straight to the giant hardwood door at the end of the Great Hall.

Click, click, click......

With the faint to clear sound of the wooden board breaking, in everyone's eyes, a long crack spread rapidly along the boning knife that had slashed into the wooden door on the hard wooden door that had once resisted thousands of round-faced fat chickens.

"Because...... I'm the head chef at Hogwarts. ”

Elena threw away the sharp knife in her hand expressionlessly, and her lake-blue gaze slowly swept over the Hogwarts Great Hall, which had fallen silent for a moment, and the faculty and staff table, whose face suddenly became a little dull.

"Forget about stealing vegetables, digging roots and scraping the ground, you guys are really good......"

Whoosh –

Another dinner knife turned into silver lightning and sank deep into the wooden door of the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

Grunt~

The brothers George and Fred looked at each other, and their minds instantly recalled the training match between Gryffindor Quidditch and the "Freshman Team" a few days ago, when Elena grabbed the Bludger and smashed the wooden plank of the stands through a perfectly circular hole, declaring the Freshman Team a direct victory.

At the same time, the two batsmen from Slytherin House also remembered once again the "misunderstanding and reconciliation conversation" that happened next to the History of Magic classroom after Elena returned to school.

It's not just those who have seen Elena's destructive power firsthand......

In fact, as Elena's lake-blue eyes slowly moved, all the young wizards at Hogwarts trembled in their hearts, as if they had suddenly become a salted fish lying on a chopping board for others to slaughter.

"Elena......

Dumbledore frowned, and was about to stand up when he felt a sinking of his shoulders.

The old wizard turned his head, and at some point Grindelwald had already walked behind him, pressed it lightly on his left shoulder, looked at the little silver-haired witch who seemed to have attracted the attention of the whole world, and said meaningfully.

"Albus, it's that little girl's birthday, and if nothing is wrong, I'd suggest you'd better sit in your seat and see what happens—I don't think Elena is a child who doesn't know how to measure. ”

"Hmm...... But ......"

The contract didn't light up, she was just venting. ”

Grindelwald glanced at the back of Elena's smooth hand and said softly and calmly, "What's more, she has a knife in her hand, and at this distance, it is the wisest choice to listen to her reasoning calmly." ”

The establishment of any new order will inevitably damage some of the original interests, and it is normal for them to encounter resistance and resistance.

Regarding the first two, he and Dumbledore had already tried and tasted the bitter fruits of failure.

And Elena's choice of response was to let the original Dark Lord see another path-

"So, everybody......"

Elena retook the knife in her hand and said sweetly with an innocent smile on her face.

"Time is running out, let's start cooking. Rest assured, I will accompany you through all the cooking process together – as the professors say, this is punishment and at the same time a kind of learning. ”

After about ten seconds, the stagnant air in the auditorium gradually eased.

Glancing at the silver-haired little witch who had taken the initiative to start processing the ingredients, the already hungry students did not protest any more.

There were occasional whispers of complaint, but most of them stood up obediently and began to pick and think about how to complete tonight's "self-cook" test—after all, the professors had said the same thing about what Elena had said before the meal.

He's still a good boy after all...... Grindelwald shook his head with a dumb smile.

Not far away, Elena had turned her attention back to cooking, and as she said, she would be serving delicious dishes to the Hogwarts staff table tonight with Professor Snape.

"Professor Snape, it's up to you to slaughter, debon, and slice these large herrings. ”

"Okay, so what do you do?"

"While you're working on the ingredients, I'll roast a few durians first – on the one hand, I can fill my professors' stomachs without having to wait too long, and on the other hand, I can give my students some cooking ideas. Elena said sweetly.

In order to make all the teachers and students of Hogwarts deeply aware of the mistakes of the previous series of things.

Therefore, tonight's cooking session must leave an indelible psychological shadow in everyone's hearts as much as possible.
