The first event of the Triwizard Tournament finally ended quietly with the crowd's unfinished cheers, Harry? Potter summoned his broomstick with a pretty good flying charm, and eventually succeeded in obtaining the golden egg, only to accidentally injure his shoulder, which may have been his minus.

At the same time, 'Krum''s wonderful performance also became a topic of discussion among the students, although they knew that he was a Quidditch celebrity, but they did not expect that he also had such a great talent in magic, so there were such as

"A warrior worthy of the Final Three"

"Krum is more than a step ahead of other warriors"

Of course, the most serious of this argument is also the Durmstrang students, such as Poliaco, who may also feel that they have a face.

As for saying that 'Krum' is twice as strong as the other players, the students of Hogwarts and Beauxbatons are hard to disagree, after all, everyone has enough honor and wants to be the warriors of their own school who want to be in the limelight.

Although Krum did have an easy time crossing the fire dragon - most of the time, he could only say it in his heart, and if he said it in public, he was afraid that he would be considered a traitor to the school.

The cold wind of December is approaching step by step, the forbidden forest is already a red and faded green, on the lonely tree trunk, most of the leaves have fallen, and when the cold wind passes, the "salad" rolls on the ground.

It was probably not cold enough, and the heavy dark clouds condensed over the castle for a while, turning into raindrops and seeping down, but it did not become the heavy snow that the students expected.

Durmstrang's students don't expect snow, the castle where the school is located is in Northern Europe, covered with ice and snow all year round, and now when they come to Hogwarts, they wish they could see more of the green grass today, and it is this group of students who play the most on the Hogwarts meadows on weekdays.

The rain that is about to turn into ice and snow but fails to become the most cold is the coldest, and it is colder than ice on the face, and the cold air in the water droplets is eager to turn into white mist and get out of the air for a while.

Of course, Ning An didn't want to go out in such a cold weather, and during the time when the first project ended, he was nested in Krum's cabin when he had nothing to do, which was probably the largest cabin on the entire big ship, second only to the principal Karkaroff.

There was a fiery fireplace, and the round window was enchanted, and only the outside could be seen from the inside, but the outside looked blurry, facing the vast meadows and the black lake, and the little banshee Charlotte leaned on the window on weekdays, and pityfully muttered:

"Charlotte wants to go on the lawn, too—"

made Ning An cry and laugh.

Daphne ran here every once in a while, and except for sleeping at night, he hardly stayed in his own room, which provoked Ning An to see the other students of Durmstrang, and they all looked at him with a kind of 'you know' eyes, daring to think that he and Daphne were dating.

Ning An naturally didn't bother to care about them, anyway, he wasn't Krum. For irrelevant people, he doesn't bother to think about what they think.

It was raining coldly today, so he curled up comfortably on the sofa in the living room, facing the burning fireplace of Ang/Sheng, the bonfire was blazing, and his face was flushed, he didn't drink the compound decoction today, and he was still his true self.

Charlotte was barefoot in the living room, chasing the red fire dragon model flying in the sky, and after Ning'an came back from the competition, he gave her the Chinese fireball model that she got in the lottery for the first project, and the little girl liked it so much that she had to put it at the head of the bed every day when she went to bed.

Fabian leaned back on another couch with a can of butterbeer in his hand, which Daphne had asked for the other day when he went to his sister Astoria, who had just turned third and had been on a trip to Hogsmeade last weekend, and Daphne had asked them to bring something back before leaving.

Eric and Dominic responded excitedly, although Daphne was not at Hogwarts, but for them, they were the old-timers of the snake letter, and they didn't communicate when Durmstrang first arrived at Hogwarts, and a few of them were a little worried, and now they were entrusted, as if they were very happy about something, and agreed without hesitation.

Astoria regarded this as her sister's approval of her move to join the snake letter, and the sisters had a little awkward trouble for this before, but now they are naturally happy to be understood by their relatives.

When they returned from Hogsmeade, they brought not only a lot of cans of butterbeer, but also other mulled mead, red wine, lemon and cherry juice, and all kinds of snacks such as ** gummies and oversized chocolates.

was all picked up by Daphne and piled up in the corner of the living room of the Ning'an cabin, probably becoming Charlotte's personal belongings of the little banshee, biting half a piece of chocolate every day to chase the dragon model, it has become the girl's daily life, how could she have been so corrupt in the Black Forest in the past.

Ning An has no opinion, he wants to come these things, the original intention is to relieve Charlotte and Fabian's boredom, it must be boring to stay in the cabin all day, and I feel a little sorry for them when I think about it.

"When is this going to be good?"

Daphne was half-lying in front of the coffee table in the middle of the couch, her big blue eyes staring at the casserole burning at the base without blinking, muttering expectantly, and holding her stomach with the other hand, as if she was hungry.

Today is very cold, rainy constantly, although the house is warm, but the boat is parked on the black lake, when it rains, the humidity is even more irrepressible upwell, sitting in the house is comfortable, but the stomach always wants to eat something warm, such as a bowl of hot porridge or thick soup and the like.

Ning An told Daphne, Charlotte and Fabian that she would take them to taste a Chinese delicacy called 'hot pot' today, which aroused the craving worms in Daphne's stomach, and she had been lying in front of the coffee table from the beginning to the present, waiting for the water in the casserole to boil.

"It's useless for you to stare at it, it's not Moody's, you have the right eye."

Ning An chuckled and looked at Daphne, she hadn't seen her anxious appearance for a long time, she remembered that she wasn't so greedy at the opening banquet before, probably because she was aroused by her curiosity.

Daphne heard Ning An laugh at him, and pursed her mouth and sulked, but in less than half a minute, her attention was attracted by the casserole again, looking at the bubbling soup inside, and she couldn't help but think to herself

"Is this the food from his hometown, it looks really delicious."

The idea of wanting to eat hot pot was there before the first project, in addition to the fact that the weather is getting colder day by day, there is also the factor of Ning An's own greed in it, somehow, when I came back again, after seeing Daphne, I actually became nostalgic, and after the idea of eating hot pot rose, I didn't stop.

The casserole was transformed into a small teacup by Ning An with Transfiguration, and the coffee table was also filled with plates of cut and washed vegetables and slices of meat.

The cabbage and lettuce were stolen from the vegetable garden behind Hagrid's hunting lodge by casting a phantom spell, and the huge vegetable core Ning An had to use a shrinking charm to steal it, and heard a few dog barks, probably because Tooth was aware of it but was stopped by Hagrid.

I don't know what he will think when he finds out that he has lost a few vegetables, maybe he often loses them here, Ning An observed that the fences around the vegetable garden were extremely loose, and probably the animals in the forbidden forest would come over from time to time to steal their mouths.

However, when Fabian came out with him to steal vegetables, he saw those fried tail snails raised in Hagrid's magical biology class, and the half-blood giant stupidly asked Ning An if he could get two of them back to eat, and he actually thought that this thing would be delicious.

Fortunately, Ning An dragged him away in time, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart, in the eyes of the giants, the animal is probably another form.

The meat slice came from the Forbidden Forest, Ning An and Fabian caught a fawn together, although there are many dangerous magical creatures living here, but there are also ordinary wild animals, saying that it is zhua/zhu, in fact, it is just a killing spell from Ning An that makes the fawn leave this world without pain.

As for the later procedures, all of them were made by Fabian, and this half-blood giant wizard didn't know what he did in the German Ministry of Magic before, and he seemed to be familiar with bloody things, and it was the first time that Ning An had seen someone use the spell of "Splitting" to cut venison, and he wondered if it would be more convenient to research any "cramping and peeling" in the future.

In the end, Ning An still got a chance to show his skills, he used a blood spell to drain the deer blood, condensed into a small ball and sprinkled it in the clearing of the Forbidden Forest, which was originally specially invented in order to complete the agreement with Scientak, used to collect the seven kinds of blood, but he didn't expect to experiment on eating first.

The effect was good, a spell drained all the blood, and the divided venison became white, and there was not even a drop of blood without washing.

Then Daphne, under Ning An's instructions, ran to the stone corridor of the foyer under Hogwarts, scratched the pears on the silver bowl with the painting full of fruits, entered the kitchen, and asked the house-elves inside for some chili peppers, garlic and other things, and the dishes and chopsticks were all conjured by Transfiguration.

"How do you use this—"

Daphne watched the soup in the casserole bubble one after another, obviously it had already opened, so she clumsily grabbed two wooden sticks, held them in her hands and looked at Ning An with a blank expression.

Charlotte finally caught the flying fire dragon at this time, and knew that it was time to eat, so she hurried over and sat down at the coffee table, sneered and clapped her hands, and also followed Daphne's example, and grabbed a pair of chopsticks in a strange way.

"No—that's it, between your hands, and then apart—fold—and you're going to be able to clamp something."

Ning An climbed down from the sofa, the room was warm and he only wore a thin sweater, picked up chopsticks and made a demonstration, and then picked up a piece of bai/nen meat slices, threw them into the casserole, and gently swiped them a few times, the meat was cooked, although it was still bai/xi, but it was firm, and it seemed to be drenched with a layer of red oil, steaming, just looking at it made people feel excited.

Ning An was also hungry, so he raised the chopsticks, and then slowly put the meat in his mouth, it was fragrant and spicy, and sweat oozed from his forehead for a while.

Fabian looked at it from the side, thoughtfully, and then also learned to grab a pair of chopsticks, and bai/nong twice, at first he was a little unskilled, a small piece of mushroom was knocked off the ground by him, but soon he was able to clamp things so as not to fall, although trembling, but at least it did not hinder eating.

So he also joined Ning An's ranks, picked up a piece of meat and shook it, and after a while, he was sweating profusely, a sip of butterbeer, a mouthful of shabu-shabu, he didn't often eat spicy food in Germany, and he had never tried such a way to eat, the first time he ate it, it was really enjoyable, Ning An looked at it and smiled slightly, and continued to bury his head in the meat.

On the other side, Charlotte is not ambiguous with chopsticks, maybe she is young, she learns everything quickly, and she uses chopsticks better than Fabian, and she excitedly asks Ning An from time to time with the dishes:

"Brother, brother, how should I eat this?"

"Look, brother, am I familiar with this?"

Only Daphne on the side, people are smart, and their magical talent is also beyond ordinary people in Ning An's opinion, but for some reason, they just can't get past the chopsticks, seeing that Fabian and Charlotte are both eating so unhappily, sweat is soaked on their foreheads, but Daphne hasn't even tasted the taste of meat here, how can the two wooden sticks not fit together in her hands, and the anxious girl almost pouted and grabbed it with another hand.

Ning An saw it in his eyes, shook his head silently, a little crying and laughing, he took the time to raise his wand, and with a flick of his wrist, the chopsticks in Daphne's hand burst into a puff of smoke, and in a blink of an eye, it had turned into a small silver fork.

"You can eat it with a fork—"

He paused to see that Daphne's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be unhappy that he was the only one who could not use chopsticks, so he comforted:

"This chopstick...... I'll teach you how to use it another day, if you don't eat it, they'll eat it up." ”

Daphne picked up the fork impatiently, forked it on a piece of meat that she couldn't hold just now, threw it into the boiling water in relief, and after a while, when it was ripe, she lifted it up and put it in her mouth.

"Be careful, hot."

Ning An instructed while blowing on the meat she had added up, but Daphne's eyes were already lit up, and her mouth was probably hot, but this did not prevent her from whining and saying something to Ning An:

"Do - make it too good (it's so delicious)"

"Bang bang bang-"

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the wooden door of the cabin, except for Charlotte, the other three put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked out of the door strangely, who would come at this time?

"It's Poliaco, that friend of Krum—"

Daphne stood up and walked out the door, where there was a round window to see who was outside.

She stood by the door, glanced outside, then looked at Ning An and Fabian with strange expressions, and said hesitantly:

"It's strange, there's a woman outside the door."

"What's that?" Ning An took a sip of the cherry juice in the small cup and asked calmly.

"With an umbrella, um- red robes, curly hair, glasses, and gems embedded in them? Uh-"

Ning An smiled, he knew who it was, but he didn't expect Rita Skeeter to pick such a weather to come to him, did he think that he would definitely stay in the cabin on a rainy day.

He nodded at Daphne and said, "Well, let her in." ”
