Seamus returned to Hogwarts, where a sumptuous dinner awaited him, and although not as many as it had been at the beginning of the school year, there were quite a few people gathered in the Great Hall to enjoy the last night of their holiday.

"Seamus, you're here, we thought you weren't going to go to school. Seamus had just sat down at the Gryffindor table when the twins came running up and sat next to him, one left and one right.

"What, how could you not come back. Eating the barbecue in front of him, Seamus still misses Uncle Zhang's dishes even more, but unfortunately he can't eat them for a long time, and then he has learned two hands in the past few days, and he can teach the house-elves to do it.

"Don't patronize and eat, when will the landlord contest start. George snatched the chicken leg from his mouth, and Fred asked eagerly.

It seems that if you don't make it clear, this meal will definitely not be eaten, Seamus wiped his mouth, "Just this weekend, you can notify in advance, get a registration form out in these two days, three people per table, a total of three games, take turns to be the landlord, and finally win more promotions." ”

"No problem, we've already prepared the registration form, so let's go and let people sign up. After saying that, the two of them wanted to leave, and Seamus grabbed George and wiped the oil from his mouth on his sleeve.

"Don't be in a hurry, come with me to the kitchen to have a look, besides, you haven't even taken the elixir, what are you going to use as a prize?" Letting go of his hand, Seamus said unhurriedly, he had been to the kitchen once, but those house-elves were too enthusiastic to parry alone.

The twins were dragged by him and came together to the kitchen, where the kitchen of Hogwarts was underground, from the Great Hall to the basement, down the marble staircase to the foyer, to the left into a wide hallway, to find a painting of a silver bowl full of fruit, and then to reach out and scratch a blue pear, it would eat and laugh, and then turn into a doorknob.

The Hufflepuff common room passes through here, so most of them can cook and have easy access to the kitchen to eat, which also results in Hufflepuff having the highest obesity rate of the four houses.

Aside from the Hufflepuff students, the twins are probably the most diligent in coming to the kitchen, and perhaps most Hufflepuffs are no more familiar with the place than they are, as the Weasley twins' secret lab is in the kitchen storage.

Although Seamus didn't come to see the twins' experiments this time, he could also go and see them when the time came, and as soon as the door was opened, hundreds of house-elves turned around and looked at the three of them with their big sparkling eyes.

Then all the house-elves, all chattering and crowding over, surrounded them like the moon in the middle.

"What do the three gentlemen want to eat?"

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

The elves surrounded them, making it difficult for them to move an inch, and it was the same situation the last time Seamus was here, and he couldn't even interject. Fortunately, this time the twins were more experienced, and they picked out a more familiar elf and asked the other elves to go back to work, and they were freed.

Perhaps most of the wizards who came here were looking for food, and the house-elves also habitually thought that they were also hungry, and after a while, the arms of the three of them were stuffed with all kinds of food, the most of which was steak and kidney pie.

I don't know why, this kind of food always appears on the table, Seamus thought it was quite interesting at first, but no one could stand eating it all the time. Stuffing a whole bunch of steak kidneys into the twins' arms, Seamus bent down and said to the elf, "Your name is Twilight, I need your help." ”

"Oh, don't say that, it's my greatest blessing to be able to help wizards. The house-elf in the pillowcase jumped up happily on the spot, although it seemed to be a female elf, but Seamus couldn't see the difference at all, maybe it was a little less wrinkled on his face.

House-elves used to be an independent race, just like the current goblins, they never needed a wand and were born with powerful magical powers, and the average adult wizard was no match for house-elves at all.

It's a pity that the wizards at that time were afraid of the power of elves, because they were not only powerful, but also very capable of life. The wizards were afraid that one day the elves would suddenly have the idea of world domination and would threaten them, so they went to war with the elves.

Just like the later Goblin Rebellion Wars, the only difference is that the battle with the elves is much longer, and the wizards are not as merciful as they were later, and they have just come out of the barbarian era, and after defeating the house-elves, they have enslaved them.

Not only did they deprive the elves of their freedom, but in order to prevent the crisis from happening at all, all the wizards joined together to brainwash the elves left after the war, and instilled false memories into all the elves through magic spells, making them think that serving wizards was their greatest happiness, and unharvested labor was their mission.

As the elves multiply from generation to generation, the ideas instilled by the elves of the previous generation from childhood to adulthood are also like this, and the original false memories have gradually evolved in these thousands of years of history, and now all the house-elves have recognized this memory.

Now, whether the memories were true or not, they are now true for them. Because all house-elves identify with this memory, although they have been around for thousands of years, they are still a race with no history. They were able to lose their status as slaves only if they received a piece of clothing from their masters.

Neither the wizards nor themselves would want that dress, and thousands of years can change anything.

Suppressing the thoughts in her heart, saving the house-elves is what Hermione should do, and Hermione just wants to get a salary for the house-elves, and I don't know if she did it after she became the Minister of Magic.

However, Hermione was wrong from the start, she wanted to get others to agree with her and get a salary for the house-elves. Because of the wizard's incomprehension, the house-elves also considered her approach an insult, and in the end, Hermione was not human inside and out, and she was not pleasing to both ends.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to let the house-elves gain their rights, but she has chosen the wrong way, saving a race is not as simple as saving a person, and the only way to save a race is to let them stand up first, which outsiders can't help them do.

"Twinkle, I need a stove, I want to make a dish myself, you can also watch from the sidelines, and after you make that dish, put it near me. Seamus was brought to a stove and preparations began.

With the help of magic, it is extremely convenient to prepare in advance, with a wave of the wand, all the ingredients will be automatically processed and stacked on plates, no wonder it only takes hundreds of house-elves to take care of the daily running of the entire Hogwarts.

Heat the oil, stir-fry the green onions, ginger and garlic until fragrant, these Seamus are extremely skilled, in his previous life, as an otaku, he had often cooked, and he learned a hand with Uncle Zhang, a chef, during Christmas, if it weren't for his lack of strength, he could also do it very skillfully.

However, with the help of magic, none of this is a problem, and the levitation charm can also be used to turn the pot upside down as long as it is well managed. After a while, a dish came out of the pot, and Seamus took a large bowl and served it with a little chili powder and peppercorns on top, and burned the oil in the pot until it smoked, and then poured it on top.

With the sound of "Xi", in less than 5 minutes, a bowl of steaming boiled pork slices was made.

"Sparkle remember, you can make this dish in the future. Seamus floated the large bowl in front of him, with a layer of red oil floating in the bowl, and a few slices of coriander, and the spicy and fragrant smell kept getting into their noses.

"Yes, I've learned, and I'll make it for wizards. Twilight looked very happy, and she didn't know if it was because she had learned one more dish or if she was able to serve the wizard again.

Seamus conjured up a pair of chopsticks and stood there eating, because there was no place to sit in the kitchen, and the twins looked a little greedy, although they had just eaten, but still like Seamus, they conjured a pair of chopsticks and wanted to eat the boiled meat slices in the bowl.

However, they had never used chopsticks, poked in the bowl for a long time, and couldn't eat it in their mouths, and Seamus took a piece of cake from the table next to him, and it was still a little spicy to eat without rice.

After eating a bowl of boiled pork slices, the tip of Seamo's nose sweated slightly, not to mention the two twins, who didn't know peppercorns at first, didn't know what they were, and with Seamus's encouragement, they gave full play to their spirit of death, and one person carried a string of green peppercorns, made a toasting gesture, and then threw it into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.

In the next second, the expressions of the two of them changed abruptly, from being complacent at the beginning, to panicking later, and finally looking for water everywhere with crooked noses and slanted eyes. After eating a grain of peppercorns, the two of them never moved their chopsticks again, watching Seamus eat and drink over there, the two of them just kept pouring pumpkin juice into their mouths.

After eating and drinking, Seamus put the bowl back on the stove, cleaned it up with magic, and said to the twins, "Come on, go see how your lab is doing." ”

At this time, both of them were still holding pumpkin juice in their hands, and they took a sip from time to time, but the expression on their faces had returned to normal, "Just over there, I'll show you the results of the two of us." ”

George led the way, Fred and Seamus walked side by side, and asked him quietly in a low voice, "Did you receive the Christmas present that the two of us sent you last time?"

Seamus guessed what it was after receiving the gift at that time, and didn't eat a bite, but he still kept it, in case it could come in handy one day, "It's still the problem last time, the magic traces on it are too serious." ”
