Chapter 208: What is the intention?
After their Quidditch training, the trio went to the Room of Requirement for that damn experiment, causing them to miss the evening meal and head to the kitchen!
Of course, all of the above are excuses that a few people have given themselves to think.
Late at night, there was indeed not much food left, so Albert consulted with Fred and decided to sneak into the kitchen to eat.
After all, the food in the kitchen is hot, and there will be warm house-elves to entertain them.
"What do you want?" said Fred, whose mouth was full of fried potato chunks, puzzled and puzzled Albert, who stopped in mid-air with a knife and fork in his thoughts.
"It's nothing, do I want the house-elves to make some potato and egg pancakes?" Albert said as he ate a fried potato, laughing at himself.
"What kind of food is that, Mr. Anderson. A house-elf couldn't help but ask.
"Pancakes, a very simple food, Kara. Albert laughed and told the house-elves the recipe, "You can try to cut the potatoes into pieces, puree them, then add eggs, flour, and other spices to them, then add a little oil to the pan, put the batter in the pan, and fry until golden brown on both sides." ”
"If Mr. Anderson likes it, Carla can try it!" said the house-elf excitedly as she bowed to Albert.
"Thank you then, Kara. Albert encouraged, "I'm sure you'll be able to do it." ”
"Are your so-called potato and egg pancakes delicious?" asked Lee Jordan. After eating his pumpkin pie, he didn't touch anything else, apparently wanting to taste what Albert called the potato and egg pancakes.
They all remembered that the last time Albert had the house elves make scrambled eggs with onions, it was really delicious.
After a while, the house-elf served fried potato and egg pancakes.
"You can put some blueberry jam on top, or whatever sauce you like. Albert began to spread some sauce on top of the potato and egg pancakes, and took a bite of the familiar taste of potato and egg pancakes.
"It was delicious. He said softly
Whether it's Kara or the other house-elves, there is a smile on their faces.
Albert cut his potato and egg pancakes in half, placed them on another plate, and handed them to Kara, "Here, you can also taste the food you made." ”
"I'll share some of my share with you. Lee Jordan cut his share in half, put it on a plate, and said to the house-elf with a smile.
"You can't eat it!" Fred couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lee Jordan, his mouth was stuffed with potato and egg pancakes, and they tasted really good.
"Really...... Is...... Great, thank you, Mr. Anderson, and this gentleman. Kara's hands shaking slightly as she held the plate. At this moment, not only Kara, but even several house-elves next to him were moved speechless.
"This gentleman?" Fred wanted to laugh a little.
"If it were you, it would be the gentleman. Lee Jordan glanced at Fred and George and said angrily.
"Ahem, I didn't expect Albert to have research on food. George coughed lightly and changed the subject. Although I knew it last time. Still, they were very surprised to see it with their own eyes.
After dinner, and being respectfully sent out of the kitchen by the house-elves, Albert suddenly said to a few people beside him: "You say, if I give Carla some balls of yarn as a Christmas present, is it appropriate?"
"Why did you suddenly have such an idea?" Fred said with a slight frown, there was almost no precedent for this in the wizarding world.
"They can weave something by themselves, house-elves are very good at housework, aren't they?" Albert thought for a moment and continued: "Of course, I know that the master can't give the house-elves clothes, otherwise that means freedom, but it doesn't mean that the house-elves can't get themselves something else, after all, it's not the clothes the master gave." ”
"While you're right, I need to warn you. George warned. "Don't mess up the minds of the house-elves, that will make them not want to cook, and we'll all be hungry!"
"You seem to have intentions for house-elves?" said Lee Jordan suddenly.
"Why do you say that?" Albert asked rhetorically.
"Intuition. Lee Jordan said without thinking.
"Well, something does happen. Albert simply admitted that he had an attempt, "When I graduate, I'm going to see if I can kidnap a house-elf from Hogwarts and make it work for me." ”
All three looked at Albert dumbfounded.
"I can spend some Galleons, and with the consent of the house-elves, I don't think Dumbledore will refuse. Albert added, "You also know that it is impossible for an ordinary wizard family to have house-elves, they are very good helpers, and they are very loyal, and having them as helpers can save a lot of time. ”
"Your thoughts are truly astounding. Fred covered his face and said, "I need to warn you, though, that most house-elves serve only one family in their lives. ”
"Of course, there may be exceptions, aren't they?" Albert didn't care too much about these things, and after thinking about it, he digressed the subject, "Tomorrow is Halloween, and we'll go to Hogsmeade together next week." Well, let's see if we can find a black marketeer, I heard from Hagrid that Hogsmeade has a shop called the Pig's Head Tavern, and he has to find time to go into the woods to find the Umbrella Mushroom. Well, we're going to have to go to the library to find out what to do with the Umbrella Hopping fungus. ”
"Isn't it going to raid the old bat's private medicine storehouse?" asked George, puzzled.
"The raw materials you got from the old bat, do you dare to make them into potions and sell them?" Albert looked at George with an idiotic gaze: "If we successfully configure and sell them, the old bat will soon realize that we did it, if we let the old bat target us, we will not be able to shed our skin, you shouldn't want to be targeted by him, right?
"I don't want to. The three of them shook their heads in unison. If Snape is targeted, there will be no good fruit to eat.
"Then we're not going?" Fred asked.
"Of course I have to go, but I'll do it myself!" Albert casually explained, "I've mastered Occlumency, even an old bat can't easily see through my thoughts, but you can't, you can't lie in front of an old bat if you haven't learned Occlumency." So, the best thing to do is that you didn't do it. ”
The three of them looked at each other, unable to understand Albert's thoughts.
The old bat certainly doesn't get angry at using the Regent Mind on a student, especially if it is used openly, he used to only use the Receptive Mind to do something boring, such as to determine if a student is lying.
However, because it was not you who took it, the answer he got from you was no, and you did not take it, because you were only accomplices.
