Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Newt Scamander's house, noon.

The living room was filled with a strong beet soup aroma, accompanied by the tempting smell of small steaks in the frying pan, and the unique wheat fragrance of the toast, which constantly stirred everyone's nerve.

Wait until the girls have settled down completely, and it is almost time for lunch.

As the Hogwarts chef, Elena naturally proposed to help prepare lunch early in the morning, but under the tough attitude of Mrs. Scamander, she finally had to obediently sit with the other three at the dining table. Waiting for feeding.

"Honey, if you are really interested in cooking, you can try it later, but not this time."

Compared with the previous gentleness, Ms. Tina Scamander showed extremely rare determination in the face of Elena ’s proposal. The resoluteness at that moment made Newt seem to see two decades ago. When people first talked about their acquaintance, the same Auror temperament that sent him almost to the death penalty room of the US Magic Congress.

Is almost exactly tough, and ...

Like yesterday's reappearance, before the subtle disguise of the Dark Lord, he took the initiative to remove the resistance without any precaution!

Call! Newt sighed and wandered between the girls sitting at the table from time to time.

After ten minutes of initial chat, he has roughly understood the various guests who came to his house as guests, and arranged in his mind the important order of the distribution of his attention in the next month ...

There is no doubt that Elena Kaslana is definitely the primary target of guarding against death.

However, as long as the little devil can continue to maintain her own unexposed illusion, to the extent of her cunning, it will be the easiest girl to get along with-this is like Grindelwald before the identity is not exposed, reliable And smart.

In addition, whether it is Hannah Aibo of the Aibo family who runs the broken cauldron, or Luna Lovegood, the daughter of Mr. Lovegood, the editor-in-chief of "Singing the Opposition", in Newt's eyes, in fact, They are all threatening.

The Dark Lord has never been alone.

The long history has proved countless times that no matter how dazzling the individual can't fight the world alone, even with the inheritance from the previous generation, the new devil will certainly cultivate a part of his own lineage.

At this point, whether it is the magical animal world or human beings, it is the same.

And if you look at Elena along the basis of the young Dark Lord, then the two little witches around her are very much like her fellow students, or like-minded comrades, or-the Devil Demon wings.

However, with the passage of time, Newt's original worries gradually dissipated.

Compared to Elena who has no way to start, there are two little witches left, that is, a mediocre, and a trance, which does not show much savvy over age, only need to stare at Elena a little , They should not be in a situation.

Da, Da, Da, just then, as the footsteps gradually approached, the fragrance in the air became more intense.

Tina Scamander tapped the magic wand in her hand and directed the cooking and plated dishes to float across the kitchen, slowly falling in front of everyone at the table, the tempting meat smell came , Everyone could not help but twitched his nose.

Even Newt subconsciously withdrew his thoughts and focused his attention on the hearty dishes in front of him.

I have to say that in order to entertain these "uninvited guests" with cute skins, Tina really spent a lot of time on this lunch. In Newt's impression, it is similar to such a rich lunch. Over the years, he has Haven't eaten it a few times.

"My dear, I do n’t know what you like to eat. I can only cook the ingredients that are available around me. I will try to eat this meal a little bit-if you have something to eat later, Tell us directly, do n’t be polite. "

Tina Scamander untied her waist apron and put it behind her husband's chair, turning her head to look at Elena and others.

"For so many years, there haven't been any guests at home, I don't know if you like these."

"It can't be any better! Nourishing ... Just smelling the smell, I feel my stomach start to growl!"

Elena gently licked her lips, her tiny nose twitched, and an intoxicated look appeared on her face.

"A mellow and authentic borscht, black pepper steak, toast ... this is enough to compose a wonderful concerto that allows people to exercise all day energeticly, Mrs. Scamander, Senior Newt can marry You are so happy. "

"Rosong ... soup?" Tina Scamander asked in amazement.

"Well, this is the special beet soup you made. It will be awesome when you smell it!"

Elena nodded seriously, picked up the spoon and stirred in the beet soup in front of her.

"Besides beetroot, there are beef cubes, potatoes, spinach, carrots ... well, I also smelled of cream, this sour taste ... a little tomato should be added, um, no, it should be a cherry tomato Right? "

The rich, sour and refreshing borscht is actually a transliteration from Russia.

The most original version of borscht is actually a soup made from red beetroot as the main ingredient, although most people like to attribute it to the "Russian Red Soup", or " Ukrainian beet soup. "

But in fact, as early as the legendary period of King Arthur, this kind of soup cooked from beetroot has been popular in ancient Britain.

This thick soup made from plants called "roots of life" is arguably the most representative soup in Europe.

As a food lover whose soul comes from the great food empire, and the chef of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it is a simple matter to distinguish the ingredients in this most common European soup. Things.

It's just that the practice of adding tomatoes and cherry tomatoes to borscht is actually relatively rare on a European-style dining table.

If Elena remembers correctly, this is actually closer to the American and Chinese Western restaurants. The improved version due to the scarcity of beetroot will make the whole soup brighter and add to the sour taste. There was a hint of fragrance.

"Eh, uh ... you haven't eaten, just by smelling ..." Tina nodded subconsciously, a little surprised.

"I'm the Hogwarts chef, you forgot?"

Elena smiled, scooped up a spoonful of thick soup and put it in her mouth, savouring the hot and sour soup with a little sweet soup rolling on the tip of her tongue, the right-sized beef chunks were stewed well, even the teeth Without force, it turned into gravy.

"It's so wonderful to grasp the taste and master the heat. The sour, spicy, sweet and fragrant do not interfere with each other. Instead of saying that this is a borscht, it is better to say that it is a person who can't help but want to stay The subtle potion on the table. "

"Actually, it's actually okay, but I just adjusted it according to my taste, I just like it."

Tina Scamander unnaturally gathered her hair and humbly, but the expression on her face was extremely useful.

Compared to Newt's empty touts other than "delicious!", "Delicious!", And "tastes great!", This meticulous interpretation from the professional field and fancy praises that have never been heard , Obviously not the same level of satisfaction.

"If you really like it, you can come to our house as a guest every holiday in the future. We will always welcome you as a cute little angel here ... Of course, if you want to try it yourself in a few days, I can also teach you."

"Really? You are so good!" Elena's eyes lighted up, "Then I will help tonight ..."

"Cough, cough! Sorry, two dear ladies."

Before Elena finished speaking, Newt Scamander could not help clearing her throat and interrupted actively.

"I think today may not be the right time to discuss cooking, after all, Miss Caslana, Miss Abbott, Miss Lovegood, etc. will have to report to the Quidditch National Team later, if I remember correctly. "

Mrs. Scamander froze for a moment, finally remembering the main reasons why these girls came to her house.

According to the letter in Albus Dumbledore ’s letter, they received an invitation to the British Quidditch National Team for a summer trial. After that, they will go to the Quidditch Stadium from Monday to Friday for a month to train with the star players. life.

In the evenings and weekends, she temporarily stayed at her house until Hogwarts started school.

"Oh, I almost forgot! Dear, you still have arrangements in the afternoon!"

Tina looked at the little witch in front of her, and said softly with a smile.

"About the discussion of cooking and the preparation of dinner ingredients, we will wait until the weekend to discuss it carefully. You must fill up your stomach first. Later, Newt and I will take you to the Quidditch Stadium to register. "

"Uh ... Tina, if you take the children with me this afternoon, I won't go ..."

Newt was startled, his expression froze for a few seconds, and he spoke with his language.

"Look, there are still a lot of things left in this house, and there are still many things not finished today ..."

"... You are just those animals that don't worry about you?" Mrs. Scamander raised her eyebrows.

Newt nodded and replied quickly.

"Yeah, you know, sniffing the two brothers from time to time fighting recently, although I temporarily separated them for medicine, but still a little uneasy; there is a Motra rat who has not eaten much recently, I worry about it ... "

Zi Zi ~ Zi Zi ~

Snoring ~ snoring ~

Just then, a strange sound came from Newt's ear.

Newt Scamander, who has changed from small freckles to old freckles, turned his head subconsciously. I saw that sometime, the dangerous white-haired dumpling had begun to hold the soup dish, and he drank happily and expressed satisfaction Eating sounds.

There is no doubt that she looks hungry ...

I just do n’t know why. Looking at the half-breed little girl who buried her head in the food, Newt was more alert in his heart. In his feelings-it seemed like he had encountered a sudden appetite. Hungarian tree bees wide open.

Seemed to notice Newt's sight, and Elena paused suddenly, raising her head a little embarrassedly.

"That, sorry ... This soup, this gravy, is really delicious, so I ..."

"... Eat slowly, honey. It's okay, it's okay."

Tina Scamander showed a satisfied smile. For all chefs, this greedy and intoxicating enjoyment of food can be said to be the most pleasing praise, but also the highest respect.

Mrs. Scamander in a good mood patted Elena's back gently and said softly.

"Don't worry, dear. There are still many in the pot, absolutely enough to eat."

"As for you, Newt ... Forget it, you can take care of your animals first, just wait for me to accompany the children-when we come back, maybe you can take the children Visit the animals you like. "

Contrary to this, Newt Scamander's heart shivered, and he almost couldn't restrain the panic on his face.

"But, but ..." Newt's lips twitched and he was about to say something.

"Animals? Are those magical animals written in Mr. Scamander's book?"

Luna Lovegood, who had been quietly eating small steaks in the side before, suddenly raised his head and looked forward expectantly to the Scamanders. His eyes seemed to flash bright stars, and the whole person seemed to be instant Brightened a bit.

As she said, Luna raised the camera on her lap and asked excitedly.

"Great! I like these animals so much, I do n’t know if I can take pictures of them?"

"Huh? Is there a unicorn here? Are there dragons and sphinxes?" Hannah turned her head curiously.

"Hmm, me too, me too! I like animals too!"

Elena, who was full of food in her mouth, also looked up, chewing the food in her mouth, and said vaguely.

"Especially Newt's" Where is the magical animal ", I have to turn it many times every day!"

"... don't worry, don't worry, children."

Looking at the excited expressions of the little girls, Tina Scamander's face showed a gentle smile.

As Newt ’s wife, she naturally hopes to see more people like and recognize her husband ’s hobbies. These little witches who can learn to learn are simply gifts that Dumbledore gave them to the couple. I like it more.

"When we return from the Quidditch Stadium, Newt will take you to visit our underground zoo, which is a more magical world than the grass outside ... Well, although there is no unicorn, fire dragon , Sphinx ... However, nearly a hundred beautiful and rare magical creatures will definitely open your eyes. Are you, Newt? "

Finally speaking, Mrs. Scamander rubbed her husband, who had been silent, with her elbows and asked happily.

"Ah ... Um ... um ..."

Newt Scamander was startled, and nodded dumbly.

"Well, it should be ... is it ... right?"

This rate of progress is not as fast as he imagined ... He had planned to take advantage of these days to secretly send the little guys to his son's house or other magical animal breeding area for temporary foster care a period of time.

However, according to the current situation ...

At most one afternoon, or more accurately, a few hours later, he will personally take the dangerous mixed-race Meiwa to his underground zoo and introduce her to those magical animals?

Not to mention whether she still has the mission of revenge for Grindelwald. The sheer appetite that she showed after hearing the magical animals just now is enough to make Newt tremble-this is even A witch who dares to eat with eight-eyed giant spiders.

Newt Scamander promised casually, while spinning various defenses in his brain.

How to do how to do? ! The little devil just now seemed hungry at first glance? !

Would you like to temporarily borrow a sphinx, fire dragon, three-headed dog or something, guarding the passage?

If he remembered correctly, last year it seemed to have heard Dumbledore said that Hogwarts ’forest keeper Ruber Hagrid bought a three-headed dog from the Greeks, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Maybe you can consider borrowing it to temporarily guard the entrance to the underground zoo?

Don't say it's a half-breed little Meiwa, even an adult wizard, can't quietly defeat a three-headed dog?

Ok! Decided, write to Dumbledore for help later!

In addition to subtly changing the child, some basic precautions should still be done.

And since this trouble was thrown to Dumbledore himself, there is no reason to refuse these reasonable requests, otherwise one day he might accidentally eat the magical animals that he raised by himself at the table. So desperate.
