The Admiral of Hogwarts

Hogsmeade certainly doesn't have restaurants, and the reason for this is quite simple. It's because wizards have far greater mobility than Muggles who can't use magic. So, when they're hungry, they can always go straight home to eat.

And if they want to savor delicious food or simply want to be lazy and don't want to cook, a small pinch of cheap Floo Powder or a snap of their fingers can take them to Diagon Alley to enjoy a delicious meal. Therefore, there's naturally no need to open restaurants everywhere.

However, Anti-Aircraft and her companions decided to open a restaurant here not because they didn't know this. Therefore, they made all sorts of preparations for this decision. And the most important trump card is Anti-Aircraft herself.

Because she is a ship girl who has traveled to many places, and with the support of everyone on the Admiral's network, Anti-Aircraft can skillfully cook dishes of various countries.

After all, although wizards have ways to travel quickly in a very short time, national borders still exist. At the same time, various procedures for traveling abroad are not simpler than in the ordinary Muggle world.

In this case, food with foreign flavors will inevitably have a good market.

"So, what kind of cuisine are you planning to promote when you start?" After learning about Anti-Aircraft and her companions' plan, Hugo immediately thought of this.

"I know you have mastered the cooking methods of most cuisines in this world, but if you want to open a restaurant, you must have a specialty, at least at the beginning."

"Speaking of this issue, we need you, Admiral, to make the final choice for us." After finishing her new plan, Anti-Aircraft immediately asked Hugo for advice.

"Please help us recommend a cuisine. After all, we discussed it for a long time, but we still haven't made a final decision."

"Okay, let me see the choices you've made before," Hugo said. Soon, he received the options that Anti-Aircraft and her companions were currently facing through the Admiral's network.

"I really like Chinese food, but opening a Chinese restaurant in Hogsmeade is out of the question," Hugo crossed out one of the options on the list at the first opportunity.

"After all, people here accept dishes similar to orange chicken, chop suey, or chow mein. I don't want to leave the wizarding world with the impression that Chinese food is like this."

"The rejection of Indian curry is mainly due to another reason. After all, there are Indian restaurants everywhere in Britain now. Therefore, I think this kind of food that is already popular in Britain may not be able to attract the attention of those wizards—"

Soon, Hugo entered the selection state. Finally, when Enterprise and Hermione were about to finish talking, he successfully selected the business scope of the future restaurant.

"This one, Southeast Asian cuisine," Hugo finally made a choice. "Southeast Asian cuisine is very complex and has diverse origins. So, I think this kind of restaurant should be able to satisfy the curiosity of British wizards, and at the same time, the taste can be as close as possible to the preferences of British people."

"More importantly, because of the multi-source nature of Southeast Asian cuisine, we can upgrade our restaurant in the future and slowly introduce those sources of Southeast Asian cuisine that already exist, such as Chinese food, Japanese cuisine, and even Indian cuisine, into the restaurant."

For ordinary restaurants in the Muggle world, it is very difficult to cook multiple styles of cuisine. But for wizards, this is not too difficult.

At least Hugo knew that Mrs. Weasley could simultaneously manipulate several pieces of tableware to cook several dishes, while also doing other housework.

And in the wizarding world, there are not a few wizards who have housework abilities like Mrs. Weasley. Not to mention those hardworking house-elves.

"No problem, and Southeast Asian cuisine is also my strength. After all, I have been to Southeast Asia many times, so my cooking level in that region can be considered relatively high," Anti-Aircraft said immediately after hearing Hugo's suggestion.

"If there are no accidents, I think our restaurant will be able to open in Hogsmeade in half a month."

"Then I wish you good business," Hugo said. Then, he ended the communication and, together with Hermione and Veneto, who had finished asking questions of Enterprise, ended today's study and left Enterprise's office together.

In the short term, learning with Enterprise will not greatly increase Hugo and the others' combat effectiveness. Because Enterprise always believes that in terms of learning magic, one must take one step at a time and learn steadily.

Therefore, most of her courses for Hugo and the others during this period are about the use of Transfiguration magic, and a small part is some simple battlefield judgment and combat training.

Although this latter part of the training is said to be combat training, it is basically unrelated to magic. The main content is for Hugo and the others to dodge the light emitted from Enterprise's wand.

According to Enterprise, magical combat is like real fighting. Before learning to hit someone, you must first learn to be hit. Considering that there are many spells in the wizarding world that can be fatal with one blow, the experience that Enterprise taught Hugo and the others does not even have much defensive content, but is simply some ways to avoid enemy magic on the battlefield.

"Ah, I'm so dirty," Hermione said, patting the dust off her body helplessly.

After all, according to Enterprise's requirements that are completely close to actual combat, this kind of dodging is naturally as convenient as possible. Then, various ground skills similar to a lazy donkey rolling naturally need to be practiced frequently. In this way, the clothes are definitely not clean.

"There's no way, after all, even if the ground is full of broken glass during a real battle, we have to roll," Hugo said, shaking his head helplessly.

"You need to know that spells like the Killing Curse cannot be blocked by the Shield Charm. But no matter how powerful this kind of spell is, it will basically fail to cause damage if it doesn't hit."

"You're right, I know that too," Hermione said with a smile, "But getting your clothes dirty is always a very troublesome thing, especially when it's almost lunchtime—"

In this way, the three of them discussed the knowledge they had gained in the training just now while walking towards the Ravenclaw Tower.

As usual, Hugo and the other two quickly returned to their respective dormitories in Ravenclaw Tower to change into a set of coats, and then went downstairs to have a good lunch. After that, they headed towards the Transfiguration classroom with Adalbert Waffling's "A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" under their arms.

Not long after they entered the Transfiguration classroom, Professor McGonagall walked into the classroom in a hurry. Then, she waved her wand and distributed the small paper boxes that had been placed on the desk to each student.

"In this class, we will be transfiguring these simple animals," Professor McGonagall said, waving her wand. All the boxes opened, revealing the geckos inside.

"I think you have learned how to transfigure insects through previous courses, and transfiguring this type of vertebrate will be more difficult—"

Then, Professor McGonagall began to talk about the key points of this spell, and the students all took out their quills and wrote them down carefully.
