The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

The beef is gleaming with oil, first of all, it is fried with good butter, and the aroma of the beef can be smelled from a distance. After cutting, the beef is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Under the action of the Maillard reaction, the beef on the outside takes on the unique burnt brown color of barbecue, and bursts of smell comes from the reaction of hot oil and protein. The beef on the inside is tender and juicy, and the meat turns red when the knife and fork are dropped. The protein and liquefied oil came out together, and then exploded between the lips and teeth, giving people an explosive beauty.

Fat, calories, things engraved in the human soul are always satisfying.

As a centenarian, eating such greasy food must be harmful to health, but Dumbledore didn't consider this at all and enjoyed the food in front of him as if he were eating the last supper.

This is somewhat different from Dumbledore's usual appetite. Mrs. Maxim next to him was also surprised and asked: "I didn't expect that you have such a good appetite today!"

When things go wrong, there must be a monster. The Dumbledore feasting and drinking at the staff table is really Dumbledore, but he is Aberforth Dumbledore. His brother, Albus Dumbledore, was currently enjoying the sights of the ocean in Azkaban, while he was enjoying the offerings of the Hogwarts kitchens.

"Eat more while you can still eat." Aberforth responded vaguely.

What he meant was: After my brother comes back, I have to go back to the Pig Head Bar. You have to cut vegetables, cook and wash dishes by yourself there! Although there is magic to help, it is still very annoying. As an older single homebody, Aberforth naturally hated cooking. He would do whatever he could to fool him when he was eating, and he would try his best to provide half-finished dishes when serving dishes to customers. Except for butterbeer, nothing in the entire bar was cooked with care.

Since the people who come to the Pig Head Bar are not serious people, no one thinks the food here is unpalatable. For them, food from black market places is qualified as long as it is non-toxic and harmless.

For Aberforth, today's lunch was considered a meatless one, and he ate it with great pleasure. It's just that he has eaten the last meal but not the next, so he has to enjoy it as much as possible.

But in Mrs. Maxim's ears, this sentence became the emotion of an old man in his late years: I am already at this age, so I'd better enjoy life first! Tomorrow's sun or death, you may not know which one will come first!

Mrs. Maxim was a little emotional when she heard this. But when she saw Dumbledore taking a swig of red wine with goat cheese, she suddenly lost sympathy for Dumbledore.

Too bad! Why don't I choke you to death?

Looking at Dumbledore eating deliciously, Ron's appetite suddenly improved, and the scones, steaks, and stews in front of him suddenly became more delicious.

Seeing that Dumbledore was in a good mood, Harry felt that he could try his luck at his place.

"After lunch, let's go find Professor Dumbledore." Harry secretly made up his mind, planning to find an opportunity to block Professor Dumbledore when he left the auditorium.

While everyone was enjoying lunch together, Tom and the real Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts.

Due to the strike on Hogwarts Airways' Fox aircraft, the two had no choice but to apparate to Hogsmeade first, and then take the No. 11 bus back to school.

"I want to eat a double-decker beef burger, filled with cheese, pickles and tomatoes, and the patty should be thick enough..."

"I want a Swiss roll, and it must be the pure animal butter kind."

After going through a hard battle, the topic of Tom and Dumbledore's return to school was more like Hogwarts on the tip of their tongues. The two had a lively discussion on what to eat for lunch. As for Voldemort, both Tom and Dumbledore thought they could talk after dinner.

As for the canteen being closed when he returns to school late, Tom is not worried at all, because the principal is just as hungry as he is.

Once back at the castle, the two went straight to the principal's office. About three minutes later, two large plates of steaming food appeared on Dumbledore's desk. Tom got the burger he wanted and Dumbledore got a fresh Swiss roll.

The only pity is that there is no zero sugar Coca-Cola in Hogwarts, only iced pumpkin juice.

"Even if it's watermelon or peach juice..." Tom was quite regretful.

Dumbledore didn't want to talk to him and concentrated on destroying the lunch in front of him.

After the two of them had eaten and drank enough, and the things on their plates disappeared like wind and clouds, the two of them began to get to the point.

"It's a pity that I couldn't eliminate him in Azkaban today." Tom took a sip of the pumpkin juice in the cup.

"This is normal. I have never expected to accomplish everything in one battle, but there are not many places like Azkaban where you cannot disapparate." Dumbledore did not feel regretful. On the contrary, he was quite satisfied with today's harvest. of.

He and Tom destroyed one of Voldemort's Horcruxes and inflicted gangrene-like damage to his body. This was a great victory that he had never achieved in the previous Wizarding War.

Tom's expression changed when he heard that he couldn't apparate. Isn't Hogwarts a place where you can't apparate?

If you want to kill Voldemort, you must destroy all his Horcruxes and then take him to a place where he cannot escape by disapparating. Although running away is shameful, it can save your life. A wizard of Voldemort's level can become a huge security risk as long as he can escape.

Therefore, it is necessary to lure Voldemort to a place where Apparition is prohibited and kill him. All things considered, Hogwarts is the best choice. It's just that this plan will definitely turn Hogwarts into a battlefield, and there is a high probability that Dumbledore will not allow this to happen.

"He won't cause any trouble in a short period of time." Dumbledore was very confident in his spell. He believed that most of Riddle's next energy would be spent on dealing with the curse.

"I hope so, but the search for Horcruxes has to be put on the agenda." Tom couldn't help but urge, "And those who are embedded within the Death Eaters, can they provide some help?"

Dumbledore did not continue. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of hot tea: "Miss Granger is here. I think she must have a lot to say to you."

Hermione was wandering outside the principal's office at this time. She urgently wanted to know how Tom was doing. Have he and Dumbledore returned? If possible, she must ask what the two of them were doing.

If possible, she would use a little "torture". She believed that Tom would confess obediently.
