As a schoolmaster who learned a lot of knowledge by herself in advance, Hermione couldn't remember for a moment what Hufflepuff’s housekeeping curse was, because in Professor Wilson’s mouth, the college seemed to be best at studying food or serving people. Kinds of herbs and magical animals.
After entering Hogwarts, she also confirmed with her own eyes. For example, in physical education class, when they mentioned something to eat, bright light appeared in the eyes of all the little badgers.
Among the four founders, Hufflepuff is not famous for spells, she is better at being the support of others.
Hannah put her plate between her and Hermione, drew her wand and tapped it on the side of the plate: "The food appears!"
Then a roasted quail appeared on the plate, but it was different from the fried chicken provided by the school in the past. This quail was roasted a little bit, and it exudes some subtle black smell.
Hermione's expression became strange. She couldn't understand what kind of curse it was, is it a kind of flying curse? It seems to be about the same as usual.
Hannah didn't notice her expression, but explained cheerfully:
"This is the'food curse', how about it? Isn’t it amazing? We usually eat here, but in fact, all the things we eat are made in the kitchen by house elves. This curse is for food transfer. , That is, the cast range is very limited."
Hermione tilted her head and stabbed the quail's with a clean fork. As a result, a triangle-shaped black charcoal fell off and fell to pieces on the white plate.
Food is one of the five major exceptions to Gamp’s law of deformation, which means that it cannot be changed out of thin air, and other things cannot be eaten as food.
If you turn a piece of wood into bread, not only will it taste like wood, but after the spell expires, it will turn back into wood in your stomach, which will make you sick.
The copying spell is also ineffective on food. Although it can turn a piece of bread into many pieces, only the original piece is tasteful and nutritious. Although the other changes are edible, they will become nothing in the stomach, but it will make people. Hunger.
"In that case, you roasted this quail?" Hermione put down her fork, and it didn't seem to be edible. It was all carbonized.
Seeing the quail was scorched, Hannah also looked a little ashamed. She covered her face and said, "During the roasting process, I imitated Professor Slade and infused it with soul, but my robe and tassels were accidentally lit by fire. Yes, I went back to the bedroom next door to change clothes, and forgot to tell the elf to help me watch the fire, but it was baked..."
"It's a pity to waste a little material, but the key is that we know this magic. From now on, we can summon our pre-prepared food anywhere in Hogwarts, and we can also send the food directly into your bedroom. That's it!"
Susan emphasized the meaning of this curse, and at the same time said that she could provide a night snack to Hermione alone.
Hermione’s little head suddenly heard the words she heard in the magic wand shop. She didn’t want to deceive others, so she shook her head quickly:
"No, I'll come to the cafeteria to eat very well, I don't need you to bring me food."
Hannah's mouth bends downwards, as if she is about to cry: "You don't think the food I cook is bad, oooo..."
"That's not what I meant, aren't you all grilling meat in gym class? It's just an accident today." Hermione hugged her and explained while shaking gently.
"Then why?" Hannah showed an eye through her fingers.
Hermione still hugged her and didn't see her little gesture: "I just think it's unfair. Why do you give me the food you worked so hard? I didn't do anything."
The round face of Susan who was sitting on the side became serious, and she shook her head:
"No, Hermione, it would be unfair to you if we were still the same. The prizes you won from the professor were shared with both of us. The one who has always been cheeky is us, and this is the same as Hufflepuff The righteousness is not consistent. If you do not want to eat the food we make, then you look down on us."
"Yes, we are equal good friends. You don't need to pay unilaterally. The friendship must be fair." Hannah also hugged Hermione tightly, rubbing her heads together.
"...As for?" Hermione was speechless, as if she wouldn't accept it.
Hannah in her arms smashed out, and she arranged her braids: "Of course! Your contact with the magic world is still short, and it is far from clear that many of the prizes are very difficult to obtain. For example, the hand cream you gave me last time is said to be difficult to buy even with money."
Susan put her arm on the table and nodded in agreement: "Yes, let alone take us on a tractor. I have never taken a Muggle vehicle. It's so fun."
Hermione covered her forehead, and it seemed that both girls were serious.
Why is this happening? She obviously never thought of such a thing. Why would she want someone else to deliver food?
"Well, just give me a few cookies occasionally."
She still accepted. In order to prevent her good friends from feeling owed to herself, she still made concessions and shaken the original principle.
Hannah and Susan happily high-five, and then put Hannah's failure into a paper bag, then Susan summoned the dinner she had prepared and the three ate together.
This is also one of Hufflepuff’s academy advantages. As long as they do not exceed a certain obvious limit, they can freely use the ingredients in the castle to conduct cooking experiments. Failures can be thrown away. It is not a waste of food, and no points will be deducted.
Hermione felt that the conversation between the three was too sensational, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, so she was eating the weight loss seaweed salad while telling her that the professor had asked her to Channico Lemay to add to the atmosphere.
"Nico LeMay?" Hannah put down the knife and fork in her hand: "I know."
She dug out her robe, and took out a pentagonal card that came with the Chocolate Frog, with Dumbledore's name written on it, but he was not there at this time, and the frame was empty.
But her beautiful little hand turned the card over and pointed to the words written on the back:
"Professor Dumbledore is recognized as the greatest wizard of modern times, and his well-known contributions include: defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, discovering twelve uses of dragon blood, and his partner Nicolae May's achievements in alchemy ."
Susan who was eating raised her head and glanced, she touched her fat chin and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose:
"Well, alchemist? This course was deleted from the Hogwarts curriculum by the Ministry of Magic before 1925. It is said that the reason is that someone has made an incredible monster, and students are not suitable for contact with this subject. But I want to find a book about alchemy in the restricted area of the library, or ask Professor Snape, there are many things in common between potions and alchemy."
"No, ask Snape, why not kill me." Hannah was allergic to the name.
Hermione nodded slightly, and as expected, unity was strength. There was no doubt that she had knowledge defects in some aspects, and friends could make up for it.
If I had asked Hannah and the others long ago, I would have saved more time.
We must remember this lesson in the future, we must ask for information from multiple angles, and work together.
"I found this man's story in the Ravenclaw collection. He has countless wealth and invented the elixir. He has lived for more than 600 years. I guessed that he could not go to the fourth floor. At the end of the corridor, what the principal kept."
"Is it an old medicine?" Susan lowered her voice and looked around.
Hermione shook her head slowly. The anti-aging medicine was indeed very tempting, but it was not enough for Dumbledore to take care of it. Now that he knew that the principal and LeMay were good friends before, he should be able to get the anti-aging medicine at any time.
Because it is just a product of alchemy, the preparation process in the bark book seems very simple.
Then the answer is very clear.
"Something more precious than that, the treasure used to prepare the elixir, Nick Lemay's'redstone', and that is what Professor Quirrell wanted to steal."
Hermione finally connected all the clues into a clear line. For the first time, she felt the happiness after solving the case. It was like the sudden clearing of London on a cloudy day for three consecutive months. It was a kind of unobstructed flow.
Hannah and Susan pricked up their ears and didn't even care about the meal. They just cleaned up and dragged Hermione to the basement, the Hufflepuff Lounge behind the huge wine barrel.
There are still too many people here, and finally the meeting place was changed to a warehouse for storing potatoes~EbookFREE.me~ There was a smell of earth in the darkness.
But it doesn't matter, they are curious about too many things, what kind of alchemy? What does Quirrell want to steal? Professor Wilson knows everything? They also want to hear the full picture of the incident.
Hermione felt that it was necessary to tell them, at least to make her friends wary of Professor Quirrell, that was not a good person.
So they shared information, starting from the appearance of the trolls, they talked about it for more than half an hour.
It's just that I don't know who proposed it first. In the dark, a plan gradually emerged in the hearts of the three.
"Why don't you go to the fourth floor to see what the so-called'Redstone' looks like? Or confirm for the principal that it has not been stolen by Quilo?"
Hannah and Susan said that this was the plan Hermione discovered and said first, so just listen to her.
The three people plan to let Hermione loan out Ravenclaw's map crystals after the lights are turned off tonight. After the three meet, they will go on an adventure together...
