Chapter Twenty-Seven: You Were Sorted into Gryffindor, It Must Be the Sorting Hat's Fault (Follow-up)
After a moment of silence, Fred sighed: "Love, you are the Merlin of the food world!" β
This statement was recognized by others, and even the ghost of Gryffindor House, Nick, who was almost dead, admitted that Love, if he had been born hundreds of years earlier, would probably have revolutionized the diet of the wizarding world.
Fred secretly glanced at George, and George understood. The twins knew the location of the Hogwarts kitchen, and decided to visit the kitchen another day to give some "inspiration" to the house-elves in the kitchen.
With Love's complaints, the atmosphere at the banquet gradually became lively.
Love's conversation with Fred and George became more and more speculative, and the conversation gradually shifted from sorting ceremonies and local cuisine to the twins' adventures in school over the years.
Fred and George told Love about their battle of wits with the castle keeper, and Percy, who was in the right seat, coughed and motioned to his brothers not to spoil the new life, but the twin brothers did not give their brother face at all, as if they did not see itβthey had a good conversation with Love, and had already moved the idea of bringing him into the gang, how could a brother who was in the way get in the way of their adventures?
It's just that now they and Love are only getting acquainted, and they haven't reached the point of putting their hearts together, so the things that the twins revealed to Love are all innocuous pasts, and those real "core secrets", the two of them haven't said a word.
Although Love was disgusted by Hogwarts' monotonous way of cooking, he admitted that there was nothing wrong with Hogwarts in terms of the quality of the meat. Fresh enough meat that can be easily grilled to give off an attractive aroma may not be enough to eat every day, but it is a good choice to have a barbecue once in a while.
Love, like everyone else, opened his belly and filled his belly with roast and pies. When most of the people had eaten more or less the same, the rest of the food on the plates, along with the soup and water, disappeared in one fell swoop, and the forks of the plates became as smooth as ever. After a while, the plate is filled with desserts: ice cream of all flavors, sweet pies, chocolate muffins, fried jam doughnuts, wine jam pudding, strawberries, jelly, and rice pudding......
Love grabbed a cup of yogurt ice cream and listened to the classmates around him discuss their families.
As he listened, he clicked into his system, where the golden gift box lay quietly, waiting for his patronage.
"Maybe now is the best time." Love couldn't contain his excitement any longer, so he opened the box.
The gift box turned into a little golden brilliance and disappeared, replaced by a system message: [Obtain the golden talent: Animal affinity, your ability to communicate with various animals will be greatly enhanced, and the animals will instinctively trust you and get close to you]
Love raised an eyebrow: this talent is not bad, maybe quite good.
With a gift for animal affinity, Love can roam the Forbidden Forest like Hagrid and Newt Scamander, making friends with all kinds of magical animals, which is a very useful skill.
In addition to receiving the task reward, Love also noticed that there was another [map] function in his system, he clicked in and saw that it was a model of a castle, from the outside, it was Hogwarts Castle, and the surrounding and interior of the castle model were shrouded in a thick layer of fog.
He touched the bottom of the castle with his finger, and his vision changed, from a three-dimensional model of the castle to a two-dimensional map, but the map was also shrouded in a thick fog.
Love noticed that in the upper left corner of the map was written the words "Castle: First Floor".
It looked like I was supposed to be able to clear the fog from the map by exploring the castle, but Love understood what the system meant, and he looked around and knew that he was currently in the auditorium of the castle, but he didn't know how to clear the fog from the hall module?
Soon, the system gave its own answer: [Detected that you are in the castle, first floor, auditorium, map generation, please ...... later]
In a matter of seconds, a large chunk of the fog on the map dissipated, revealing the floor plan of the auditorium, the four college desks, faculty chairs, and windows were clearly marked, and the map was thoughtfully accompanied by a scale bar, which looked like the handwriting of an experienced draftsman.
[Castle - 1st Floor Exploration Progress Reaches 20%, Reward Γ 200 Scholar Points]
Love's eyes lit up: There is still such a benefit? 20% gives 200 points, so wouldn't 100% exploration give 1,000 points? And according to the urine of the system, there is a high probability that there will be some other good things when you explore 100%!
Thinking of this, Love's eyes burned when he looked at Fred and George: in terms of familiarity with the castle, who else among the students could compare to the two brothers? As long as you hang out with them more, achieving 100% exploration is not a problem, and then you can get the rewards of the system alone!
Fred and George didn't know what Love was thinking, and even though there was a slight strangeness in his eyes, they only thought it was because he had tasted a delicious dessert - the quality of the British food was quite good, although it was crotch-pulling.
At this point, the conversation at the dinner table has shifted to the respective families. During the conversation, Love learns that Weasley and the Longbottom family are pure-bloods, that the somewhat scruffy-looking boy is named Seamus, who is half-blood, and that there is a Justin Finchleur at the Hufflepuff table next door, who is of Muggle origin like Hermione - his father is also a friend of Love's father, and it can only be said that the world is really small.
Not everyone was discussing bloodlines, and Hermione was happily discussing homework with Percy.
"There's so much to learn, I'm particularly interested in Transfiguration, turning one thing into another, it's just too hard......"
"You should start with small things, like turning matches into needles or something."
"We tried it during the holidays, but so far I've been inferior to Loveβ"
Burst!
Ron, who wasn't far away, seemed to be choking on the pudding. After he finally managed to get the pudding out of his throat, he looked at Hermione with the eyes of an alien: "So you've been studying all summer?" β
"Not strictly ......"
Ron breathed a sigh of relief, and he said, how can there be people who take the initiative to study during the summer vacation?
"We still had a week of sporadic rest."
Ron:!
The rest of the students: !?
That's too much, isn't it? The summer vacation does not rest, but is used to study, what kind of behavior is this? Why would such a person be in Gryffindor House?
"The Sorting Hat must be in disrepair!" Ron said very seriously, "Otherwise, I can't explain why you're here." β
