Dumbledore's [no entry] restrictions in the Hogwarts kitchens only apply to students.

As the head of Slytherin House and a full-fledged professor at the school, it couldn't have been easier for Snape to come up with some of the ingredients from the Hogwarts kitchen as teaching aids in Potions.

In fact, after hearing Snape's request, the enthusiastic house-elves bowed almost all the way and happily delivered the various ingredients to the Potions classroom—Elena was even a little worried about whether they would faint with excitement.

Less than half an hour before everyone left the classroom, the originally somewhat empty underground classroom became lively again. After the "outing", the little wizards who returned to the classroom chattered and whispered, and their immature faces were full of excitement and anticipation.

At the same time, everyone's desks, including Professor Snape's workbench, were piled up with a variety of ingredients used to simulate "potion ingredients": Parsley, garlic, onion, cheese, butter, ...... And, of course, the all-important [Hogwarts Forbidden Forest Snail].

Snape glanced at the various ingredients and condiments piled on the table, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch slightly—the situation in front of him was still slightly different from what he expected.

You must know that according to Snape's original idea, it is actually just to find a few similar-looking substitutes and simulate the operation of the [scabies treatment potion], instead of neatly preparing a large table of cooking ingredients like now.

However, ever since he walked into the Hogwarts kitchen with the white-haired ball, everything started to spiral out of control. In just a few seconds, the girl came up with the names of four or five ingredients and more than a dozen condiments in one breath without thinking.

By the time Snape came to his senses, the enthusiastic and efficient house-elves had all the ingredients ready and brought them to them—and most importantly, in theory, there wasn't much to be picky about Elena's choice of ingredients.

For example, replace nettle grass with parsley and snail for antennae slugs. Even the onions and garlic, which look a little different, are actually crushed and ground in the same way as snake teeth and porcupine spines.

During this short "outing", apart from being distracted by the young wizards, Snape was more focused on thinking about the feasibility of Elena's proposal. Compared to Dumbledore's suggestion of drastic material cuts, which were mainly demonstrated by teachers, Elena's step-by-step proposal seemed more practical.

Snape had to admit that perhaps there were some commonalities between Potions and cooking.

Before that, though, one last support point is needed to prove the ......

"So, Miss Kaslana. ”

Snape propped his fingers out on the workbench, halfway around the side of the podium, leaned slightly to look at Elena, who was sitting in the position of the [SVIP Iron Throne], and whispered:

"You've got ten minutes, oh no, five minutes now to show off your culinary ideas from the non-magical world. Then, I will make some corresponding adjustments and teaching arrangements according to the actual situation. As...... Bonus?"

The way people get along with each other is amazing.

After completing extracurricular activities such as leading a team to catch snails, Snape seemed to have taken off a thick layer of camouflage in the face of this group of little ones, and it was difficult to continue to maintain the cold and stern attitude that he had previously rejected.

Although—it's still the same face that hasn't changed for thousands of years.

"Absolutely, Professor. ”

Elena nodded without hesitation, quickly took off the wizard's robe that was in the way, and expertly rolled up her sleeves, her fingers sliding lightly over the cold back of the knife, and narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.

Success or failure depends on whether Professor Snape can complete the transfer, and whether she can promote the food culture in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

In fact, if given a choice, Elena didn't want to start with a snail meal.

Although since ancient Roman times, people have been eating snails.

The ancient Romans, for example, had a special small spoon with a sharp needle at one end to facilitate the removal of snail meat from the shell. They even started raising snails in oak barrels very early on, and with the rise of French food culture, French baked snails gradually spread across the European continent.

Unfortunately, this eating habit did not reach the UK, and the vast majority of British people have a fear of snails. For those who have never eaten a snail, it is not only difficult to imagine the taste, but I am afraid that even the memory of the snail's slimy body will make them frown.

Thankfully, her primary goal now was not to make a delicious dish that would satisfy everyone, but to make a dish that would satisfy Professor Snape and serve as part of the Potions, Cooking, and Lessons—a top-down push would always be the easiest.

As for what snail meal to make, there is no suspense.

If you want to do it, you have to do the top and spread the most.

Classic French snail baking!

It has to be said that because of the carefree life in the peaceful Hogwarts Forbidden Forest, this batch of snails is obviously more than a grade higher than those small snails near the orphanage, both in terms of size and tenderness of flesh.

It stands to reason that before eating snails, it is usually necessary to wait for them to drain the mucus on an empty stomach for a few days, and then put them in clean salt water to wash the shell, which will make the snails taste better.

However, with the help of magic, the process can obviously be sped up.

"Clean up!"

With Professor Snape's permission, Elena drew her wand and swiped it skillfully, sweeping away the dirt and dirt attached to the snails' surfaces, and all the snails quickly curled up with a flash of spells.

Invisible to the naked eye, the mucus in the snails' bodies also disappears.

And the slime disappeared at the same time, as well as the lives of the snails.

Elena was not surprised by this, she had already verified it in the castle of Newmengard.

According to Gellert Grindelwald, with the disparity in strength and physique, most spells can cause great damage, even the Flash Charm.

In essence, the Cleansing Charm is an improved version of the Vanishing Charm - as long as the wizard can clearly distinguish between the boundaries of matter that needs to be removed and retained, the effect it can play depends entirely on the amount of mana output.

As for the rough treatment of snails, it is actually similar to the way of dealing with tentacle slugs recorded in "Magic Potions and Potions", which is to put them in boiling water and steam them for eight to ten minutes, and then remove the internal organs and wait for subsequent use.

The only difference is that since the snail has a smaller house than the slug, the meat needs to be picked out with an awl or a small spoon in the direction of the thread before removing the internal organs.

"Well, pretty standard steaming action. ”

Snape took a closer look at Elena's steps and nodded secretly.

Most young wizards have a very bad habit in the early days of learning potions classes, that is, they will always involuntarily throw potion materials into the boiling and tumbling cauldron in one go, and then be scalded by the spilled liquid.

However, this is almost completely invisible in Elena's body.

Although Elena's movements were childish and seemed to be a little clumsy due to her physical limitations, when she put the snail into the crucible or eviscerated it, every movement was steady, without shaking at all, and the operation was fine, even Snape himself could not have done better.

"Good. Everybody, come here. ”

Snape thought for a moment, looked up at the young wizards poking their heads around the classroom, clapped his hands, and motioned for everyone to get out of their seats and move closer.

There is no doubt that Elena is not lying.

As a veteran Potions master, after just observing a few basic movements, Snape knew very well that the silver-haired little witch in front of him definitely had a pretty good foundation in Potions.

In this case, there is no need for him to stand on the podium with his arms crossed, and wait until Elena has finished all the operations, and then repeat it again and explain it to no avail.

"Everyone carefully observed Elena's steaming and processing methods, which is very standard, and the same operation method is also suitable for slugs with tentacles. So, that's one of the things that you need to do next. ”

"Well, also, notice the way Elena cuts the parsley. A very clever posture of holding the knife, closing the five fingers and pressing the finger knuckles against the knife surface, although it is a little slower, but at least it will not hurt your immature fingers. ”

"Elena, slow down the grinding of garlic a little so that your classmates can see the rotation of your wrists. ”

"Do you see, it's not smashed down with brute force, it's backlogged and grinded. It's just onions and garlic now, and if it's a snake's tooth, the wrong force will waste a lot of your time......"

"Oh yes, yes. When you no longer need to heat the crucible, the first thing you do is turn off the fire. Continued heating causes some potion materials to react completely differently than expected, such as the porcupine sting we were supposed to use......"
