Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 116 The Wonderful Kitchen
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 greenhouse, and the two of them approached the kitchen after a short walk.

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

Mike and Franklin looked back and saw Cedric and two low-grade Hufflepuff students 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 to patrol with the management team that day, but I 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, maybe I can help."

Mike said indifferently: "Uh, no need. I just think the Hufflepuff butter chicken at noon is delicious, and I want to ask how the house elves make 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 they both noticed the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"No need, really." Mike paused, "We won't bother you about this trivial matter."

Cedric is not a person with a very low EQ. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly said: "Okay, then I won't go with you. When I have a chance, I will take you to Hufflepuff again." Take a walk around the odd lounge."

Mike decisively agreed, and then dismissed the enthusiastic Cedric.

Watching Cedric disappear through the Hufflepuff entrance, Mike led Franklin into the Hogwarts kitchens.

The Hogwarts kitchen is very large, but the equipment is very simple.Not to mention the electric oven and dishwasher, even the most basic stove is wood-burning. It is hard to imagine that the 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. Many house elves wearing pillowcases with the Hogwarts logo are working together, and some of them have fingers like music. The conductor waved it repeatedly, and the whole live chicken was quickly killed, bled, and depilated.Some specialize in controlling the heat, and some use their fingers to direct the finished broilers to be baked 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, and disappeared with a screech of "Choo!"

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

Mike was speechless, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shouted to the empty kitchen: "We don't mean any harm, we just want to ask you for a favor."

"My dear wizard, what do you need?"

A voice suddenly sounded from Mike's side, Mike was taken aback, and finally calmed down his violent heartbeat and turned his head 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 Mike nervously. There was a smile on that small face, but because of the fact It is too tense, so it is a little deformed.

"Um, I think..."

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

As soon as this remark came out, the house-elves who had disappeared from all corners of the kitchen came out one after another, looking at Mike curiously.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Mike, if you hadn't got rid of the basilisk, we haven't been able to work well until now." The house elf said with a choked voice, "I didn't dare to work during those days when I couldn't work well." It's too painful to remember!"

The other elves in the kitchen echoed one after another, and soon the cries in the kitchen became one.

Mike reacted immediately and quickly comforted the house elves.And Franklin was obviously the first to see the house-elf with his own eyes, and he hadn't adjusted yet. He really didn't understand why he couldn't work hard enough to feel like this.

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

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

Clothes Hanger heard the words, tears of big beans flowed out of those big eyes immediately, and hurriedly said: "We are really useless, and we have embarrassed Mr. Mike, damn it!" As he said that, he wanted to slap himself.

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

Hanger turned from sadness to joy.

Seeing the 360-degree change of Hanger's attitude, Mike wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again, and said, "Hanger, I think house-elves are the best magical creatures in the world, so I've always wanted one of my own. house-elf, I wonder if I could take one of you?"

Hanger was so excited when he heard Mike complimenting them, but he showed a embarrassed look when he heard the second half of Mike's sentence.

"Master 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 he was happy in his heart. He knew what the hanger said, and he didn't want to take away the house elves here at all.

"Since this is the case, forget it." Mike said, "Then can I ask you for a favor? Professor Lockhart will come here to discuss some things with me. You may not know that Professor Lockhart has something to say. The habit of doing it if you don’t agree, if he does something out of the ordinary later, can you help me stop him?”

Hanger almost broke his heart when he saw the disappointed look on Mike's face. As a house elf, not being able to satisfy his master was the worst crime.

At this time, hearing that Mike made another request, there was no reason not to agree, so he happily agreed.

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