For this new and unique way of dining at Hogwarts, most of the wizards from the Ministry of Magic gave a very high evaluation, and everyone happily enjoyed the food in front of them.

Of course, with the exception of Cornelius Fudge and Dolores Umbridge, who were being taken care of by Elena and were "eating and drinking spicy", the perverted and spicy scrambled eggs with chopped peppers almost crushed their taste buds in an instant.

Unlike sour, sweet, bitter, salty, and umami, spicy is not a taste in the strict sense.

From a neuroscientific point of view, the sensation of spicy is produced by acting on receptor proteins on pain fibers in the tongue, such as capsai, a mixture of heat and pain.

This is why after people are spicy, they must not try to relieve the spicy by drinking hot water, which will not only not relieve the pain, but will allow the capsaicin to quickly spread from the tip of the tongue to the entire mouth, and will cause secondary damage to the already injured tongue and oral mucosa.

This means ......

"Oh, thank you, Miss Pomfrey. ”

Cornelius Fudge breathed a long sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said gratefully.

"A little piece of advice, don't touch those peppers. ”

Bobby Pomfrey, Hogwarts' chief medical officer, shook her head helplessly, waved her wand, and was unusually skilled in saving Dolores Umbridge, who was sitting next to Fudge and breathing fire—healing magic was a cure for spiciness, something she had only recently discovered.

Over the past few days, she's cured several little ones that smoke.

This is not unusual, under the strong stimulation of the outside world, wizards with magical constitutions occasionally have some strange situations.

However, if she remembers correctly, Elena had already promised Professor Dumbledore yesterday afternoon that she would reduce the spiciness to the tolerance of normal wizards.

And judging from the situation at the Slytherin table today, the lady chef has indeed made a change.

At least at this glance, Madam Pomfrey saw several Slytherin wizards who also ordered scrambled eggs with chopped peppers, except for a slight red-facedness, they were not as exaggerated as these two Ministry of Magic officials behaved - if you can't eat spicy, don't be strong, these Ministry of Magic politicians......

Madam Pomfrey slowly put away her wand and glanced at their plates with a frown.

"It's a devil's pepper from India, and if you can't eat it spicy, I'd advise you to stay away from all the dishes on the Slytherin House table that have the word chili on them. ”

"Hah, I didn't expect this to be so spicy. I thought ......"

Connelly Fudge looked embarrassed as he followed Madam Pomfrey's gaze at the Slytherin table, his gaze resting on the bright red scrambled eggs with chopped peppers on the table, and shaking his head with sighs.

After graduating for so many years, both Hogwarts and Slytherin House have changed a lot, at least the tastes of this batch of young wizards are still too trendy and exciting, and he is indeed a little unable to keep up with him who has entered middle age.

"Huh, huh......" Umbridge gasped and pulled aside the scrambled egg chops on his plate as if it were some terrible potion of poison, "Is this Hogwarts now? It's so bad that as a senior undersecretary for the Ministry of Magic, I suggest that the Ministry of Magic needs to increase its review mechanism for these foods." ”

"Oh, Ms. Dolores, that might be a little difficult. ”

Not far away, Dumbledore grinned, his eyes sparkling.

"Everyone has their favorite or disliked food, and you know, I've always wanted to get carrots out of the Hogwarts kitchen...... But over the years, it's just been enough to keep the kitchen out of me. ”

"To be honest, I don't like carrots either. ”

Cornelius Fudge shrugged his shoulders and nodded in agreement.

"But it can't be helped, my wife and children love it, so every time I eat, I have a headache...... Speaking of which, the roasted durians on this menu are really delicious, and if I can, can I ask the Hogwarts kitchen to make me an extra one to take home when I leave? ”

"Of course," Dumbledore replied pleasantly, "in fact, you don't have to make a decision so early. It's still a while before breakfast time, and I think you'll soon find out that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry isn't just roasted durian as a delicious and unique dish. ”

In any case, food is the easiest bridge to lighten the mood.

For Albus Dumbledore, he could have directly negotiated with the Ministry of Magic on his own, but this was not a healthy attitude of cooperation, and it did not benefit Hogwarts.

In contrast, a hearty Hogwarts breakfast experience is a better way to communicate with wizards from the Ministry of Magic reminiscing about their time at Hogwarts.

......

Pleasant times always go by quickly.

After breakfast, Dumbledore led the Ministries towards the Headmaster's office.

According to the original schedule, they will discuss together what to do with the "secret room".

You know, although the basilisk in the original book seems to be easy to solve, in fact, the basilisk is terrifying and difficult to deal with, and it has always been in the top few positions in the Ministry of Magic's Magical Beasts rating.

Even more powerful than the Avada Curse, the ability to determine direct death, the near-insoluble snake venom, and the high-strength magic resistance skin, especially when the basilisk was still entrenched in the Hogwarts underground, this level of trickiness was even higher than the wizarding world's siege of the giant tribe more than ten years ago.

After that, they also need to discuss how Hogwarts and the wizarding world should respond to the pressure from Gringotts, and of course, how to unify the "Hogwarts calendar".

Overall, today was destined to be a long day for both Albus Dumbledore and the rest of the Ministry of Magic, and in fact Cornelius Fudge and the others were mentally prepared to spend a whole day at school.

For Elena, though, it's obviously pretty good news.

At this time, she was standing on the covered bridge outside Hogwarts Castle, quietly waiting for the arrival of Lovegood's family.

Beside her, there was a kind-eyed old wizard - "Albus Dumbledore", who should have been in the Headmaster's office at this time, receiving everyone from the Ministry of Magic.
