Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 656: Red velvet cake

"Come here, please sit ... the seats I prepared are full! This is really a delightful thing ..."

When Harry, Hermione, and Ron also appeared at the door, Slughorn raised his hands with a small smile. He looked left and right at the table, and seemed to think that he could gather such guests, it was a bumper harvest in the social circle.

Speaking of which, since Slughorn returned to Hogwarts, such private gatherings in the school have also become more colorful.

Yes, with the help of this bald old man, the students also fell in love with this small gathering-even if they could not obtain permission to borrow the room from Professor McGonagall, they could do one in the common room There is nothing wrong with the small activities that belong to your own college.

Of course, as the leader of the private party industry, Slughorn must be the one who has the most trouble.

Only today, even Maca did not expect that the old man actually invited the little girl Sarah Hohenheim and had to say that his hands and feet were fast enough.

"So ..."

Maca was trying to say something, but unexpectedly Hermione was not the latest. The last one to come was Ravende Brown, who was tangled with Ron last semester.

"Oh ... dear Professor Slughorn," Lavender said quietly in her slightly contrived tone. "I think I'm a bit late-to show my apologies, please be sure To receive this bottle of Ellis wine I ordered from three brooms. "

"Miss Brown, you're really bothered ..." Slughorn waved again and again. "You're not late, just right? Come on, come in!"

As he spoke, he took the bottle that Lavender handed him.

"This wine is really produced from the village of Ellis Moorland. Although the price is not expensive, it is very collectable for a wizard who really likes wine! Thank you very much, a moving heart! "

At the same time, Slughorn waved his wand again and added a chair by the table. Although his movements seemed casual, everyone immediately guessed this-most of this Lavender was uninvited.

But even so, Slughorn, who likes making friends and is quite easygoing, will certainly not turn away from customers in the future. Besides, the other party is also very "sensible" with a gift.

Instead, let the uninvited guest mix in smoothly.

"So, Professor Slughorn--" Marka didn't care about these little things, and when Lavender and Slughorn took their seats, he sat with everyone on the round table with a beautiful tablecloth. , Shrugged and smiled, "As the host of this party today, are you ready for the next opening speech?"

While he was talking, Lavender first showed a smiley face to Hermione, and then those eyes swept across Ron's face, intentionally or unintentionally.

Hermione and Lavender have also been roommates for so many years. Of course, it is not good to be indifferent to see each other, although she doesn't really like the girl at all-the relationship between the little girls is also complicated!

Hearing that Maca opened her head with joking, the old man touched his tumbling belly, and the smile on his face obviously became stronger.

"Oh, come on! I didn't have a dance party or a dinner party today. It's not so formal ..." he said, "I promise, this will be the purest dessert tasting party! Let's make those sweet Before the rich flavor fills our belly, I don't want to let nonsense take up most of the time— "

"Oh, this sounds amazing!"

Maca grinned, as before Slughorn, applauding his approval of the good idea. But there were a few people at the scene who didn't know, and every time he counted the **** of this fat old man the most.

However, most people would not refuse desserts, and even Hermione, who did not think much of coming here to participate, couldn't help but look forward to it. I have to say that this old man may not be very reliable in other aspects, but he has always paid special attention to these details of eating and drinking.

"If you can like it, I will be even happier!"

Slughorn said, he really pulled out his wand and swiped from left to right. Suddenly, a cup of black tea immediately appeared to everyone.

Then, when he finally pointed to the middle of the round table, a brightly colored cake appeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first dessert tonight," said the old man, laying down his wand and clapping his hands, with a contented expression. "I think I probably all know that the owner of the Duke of Honey Ambrosio Fromm is a former student of mine, and at this dessert tasting tonight, most of the desserts are new ideas I asked him to prepare! Really, I can't find them anywhere! "

He first showed off his students as usual, and then introduced: "This is called 'Red Velvet Cake'. I heard Ambrosio tell me that this kind of cake seems to be very famous in the Muggle world ... ... but I want to say that Muggles would never have thought that this red velvet cake was only popular among the vampires in the United States! "

As Slughorn said, Muggle-born wizards are familiar with this kind of cake. Of course, even Maca doesn't know its origin. Hearing that Slughorn said he had emerged from the vampire community, he was nodded.

The contrast between the white cream and the fiery red embryo made people feel helpless, even if they were told that it was infused with blood, they would not feel half surprised.

"Of course, we wizards are not used to eating vampire desserts!" The old man continued. "So, this time, Ambrosio and I worked together to replace the real blood with the juice of blood tentacles. Believe it. I, the sweet and sour taste, once eaten, it is absolutely unforgettable! "

"I think ..." Maca smiled. "It also makes us more sensitive to all the good feelings, so you choose to make it the first dessert tonight?"

"Oh, you told me this little surprise I hid!" Slughorn reluctantly said, "Yes, it really is-there is blood tentacle juice in the formula of the obsession. About this kind of The characteristics of the materials, several people in the course can take a note! "

After that, he divided a cake for everyone and tasted each.

I have to say that this red velvet cake with some new tricks is really delicious.

With a lot of blood tentacle juice in it, the scarlet cake is put into the mouth with smooth cream, and the sweetness has a little sourness, and it becomes clearer and clearer soon. Adding the black tea with the right temperature, the fragrance is full of flavor.

After all, everyone has eaten dinner, even if there seems to be an enticing saying that "desserts are in the second stomach" in this world, overeating is always bad. So everyone just got a small piece.

However, this outstanding taste has once again awakened everyone's appetite, and soon everyone began to look forward to the second dessert tonight.

So after that, as Slughorn turned out various desserts over and over again, and was swept away again and again by everyone here, the satisfaction of the people continued to rise.

And halfway through the party, at the suggestion of Lavender, Slughorn, who was especially happy, opened the bottle of red wine she had brought and tasted it.

Of course, no one except him wanted to share it with him. Because Ellis wine is actually very famous-people who like it can buy barrels, but people who don't like it will never drink a second sip.

I didn't know this Lavender, how could I know Slughorn, a little-known hobby.

The dessert tasting lasted for a few minutes before the lights went out. In the second half of the day, everyone was enjoying the delicious food and chatting casually, but most of them lived comfortably-at least much faster than the old parties held by the old man.

Well, except that Lavender turned to see Ron a little more often, everything was really good.

In the end, Slughorn, who had a red-cheeked cheek, stood up and announced with a smile that the dessert tasting was over. The older ones also left their seats one by one, and the students hurried back to their respective bedrooms to go to sleep.

"Fortunately tomorrow is a rest day, otherwise I'm afraid I have to rush home to the early hours of the morning ..." Ron whispered as he walked in the corridor at the door.

"Yeah!" Harry couldn't help but follow along ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ After sixth grade, the homework became significantly more difficult and took more time ... "

Maca followed them, smiling casually.

"Even if you take a break tomorrow, you better speed up," he kindly reminded. "Tonight is Snape's Night Watch, plus he also knows Slughorn is going to have a private party-I need not say more Come on? Hurry up! If he gets caught, don't blame me for not informing you in advance! "

"Oh, Merlin's stinky boots!"

After Ron whispered, no matter which college the students heard the words, they trot immediately. Maca watched as they disappeared into the corners in front, shaking her head slightly.

"Today I will have a good night's sleep! I will have to go to the greenhouse tomorrow morning to change the pots for those babies. I can't always trouble Professor Sprout ..."

Thinking of it that way, he also quickened his pace, and soon turned to another corridor. But no one noticed this time, there seemed to be another person who didn't leave with everyone.
