Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Mike and Franklin no longer hesitated, and went straight to the direction of the Hogwarts kitchen. Along the way, Franklin seemed to see that Mike was in a bad mood and didn't talk to Mike any more.

The Hogwarts kitchen was located next to the Hufflepuff lounge, not far from the conservatory, and they approached the kitchen after a short walk.

"Why did you come to Hufflepuff?" Suddenly a voice came.

Mike and Franklin looked back and saw that Cedric and two lower-grade Hufflepuff students were looking at them suspiciously.

"We're going to the kitchen." Mike replied with a smile.

"I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. I went out on patrol with the management team that day and didn't arrive in time. Fortunately, you took action." Cedric said sincerely, "Do you have anything to do in the kitchen? There I know it well, so maybe I can be of help."

Mike said indifferently: "Uh, no need. I just think the Hufflepuff Butter Chicken at noon is delicious, and I want to ask the house elves how they do it."

"Ha! That's Mrs. Hufflepuff's masterpiece!" Cedric snapped his fingers and said excitedly, "Well, I'll go with you, just to introduce you to the Hogwarts kitchen."

Mike and Franklin looked at each other, and both noticed the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"No, really." Mike said word by word, "We won't bother you with this trivial matter."

Cedric is not a person with a very low emotional intelligence. After a little thought, he realized that he had made a blunder, and quickly said: "Okay, then I will not go with you. When there is a chance, I will take you to Hufflepuff. Take a lap in the Qi lounge."

Mike resolutely agreed, which sent the enthusiastic Cedric away.

Watching Cedric disappear into the entrance to Hufflepuff House, Mike led Franklin into the Hogwarts kitchen.

The kitchen at Hogwarts is very large, but the equipment is very simple. Not to mention electric ovens, dishwashers, and even the most basic stovetops are firewood. It's hard to imagine that house-elves made so many dishes in such an "ancient" kitchen.

When Mike and Franklin came to the kitchen, the house-elves were preparing dinner. Today's dinner should be roast chicken and sausages. There are many house-elves wearing Hogwarts logo pillowcases. Some of them have fingers like music. The conductor waved like that, and the whole live chicken was quickly killed, bled, and dehaired. Some specially control the heat, and some use their fingers to direct the processed broilers to bake in a stone kiln similar to the original oven, and the whole kitchen is full of aroma.

A house-elf seemed to have spotted Mike and Franklin, screamed "Tweet!" and disappeared.

Then, as if a chain reaction was triggered, the house-elves in the entire Hogwarts kitchen all looked at Mike and Franklin in horror, and then they all disappeared.

Mike was speechless, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and shouted to the empty kitchen, "We have no ill intentions, we just want to ask you a favor."

"Respected wizard, what do you need?"

A voice suddenly sounded from Mike's side, and Mike was startled, and finally calmed down his violent heartbeat and turned to look. I saw a well-proportioned house elf with a pair of big pointed ears and a height of about 40 centimeters looking at Mike and the two nervously. In too tight, so some deformation.

"Uh, I think..."

Before Mike could finish speaking, the house elf looked violent, his face was full of disbelief, and screamed: "Wow! You are Lord Mike! The one who participated in the snake removal operation and was named and praised by the principal. Lord Mike!"

As soon as these words came out, the house-elves who had disappeared came out from all corners of the kitchen and looked at Mike curiously.

"Thank you so much, Mike, if you didn't get rid of the basilisk,

We haven't been able to work well until now. "The house elf said choked up, "I don't dare to recall the days when I couldn't work well, it was too painful!" "

The other elves in the kitchen echoed, and soon the cries in the kitchen broke out.

Mike reacted immediately and quickly comforted the house elves. And Franklin was obviously seeing a house elf for the first time, and he hadn't adjusted yet. He really didn't understand why he could be so uncomfortable if he couldn't work hard.

After learning Mike's identity, Mike and Franklin's treatment immediately improved. The house-elves warmly invited the two of them to sit at a huge table, followed by one after another of exquisite dishes.

Looking at the house-elves busy and busy, Mike said to the house-elf 'hanger' who had been following them from the beginning: "You are so enthusiastic, it makes me a little embarrassed."

Hearing that, the clothes hanger immediately burst into tears the size of a bean, and said hurriedly: "We are really useless, and it's so embarrassing for Mr. Mike, damn it!" As he spoke, he was about to slap himself.

Mike hurriedly stopped him and said, "No no no! I mean your hospitality is really good, and the food is very delicious!"

The hanger turned from sadness to joy.

Watching the 360-degree change in Hanger's attitude, Mike wiped the cold sweat on his forehead again and said, "Hair hanger, I think house-elves are the best magical creatures in the world, so I always wanted one for myself. house-elf, wonder if I can take one of you?"

Hanger was overwhelmed with excitement when he heard Mike praise them, but he looked embarrassed when he heard the second half of Mike's words.

"Lord Mike, I'm afraid not." Hanger said, "We all signed a contract with Lord Hufflepuff to serve Hogwarts for generations."

Mike looked disappointed when he heard the words, but his heart was full of joy. He knew what the hanger said, and he didn't even want to take away the house-elves here.

"If that's the case, then forget it." Mike said, "Then can I ask you a favor? Professor Lockhart will come here to discuss some things with me later. You may not know that Professor Lockhart has something to say. The habit of doing things if it doesn't fit, can you help me stop him if he does something out of the ordinary?"

Hanger's heart was almost broken when he saw the disappointment on Mike's face, as a house elf, not being able to satisfy his master was the worst crime.

At this time, when I heard that Mike made a request again, there was no reason for him not to agree, so he happily agreed.

Seeing that the hanger agreed without hesitation, a smile appeared on Mike's face. Now that it is stable, if Lockhart is really the heir, then he will definitely give him a surprise today!
