Chapter 49: Chinese Cuisine And The Vanishing Cabinet
“Blind box lottery? The reward of chance, maybe I should drink some Flux before the lottery?” Moriarty pouted, “System, is there any kind of mission or lottery that has no risk and all are real rewards? ”
“Yes, the host can start the sign-in task by paying 10,000 points.”
“Tsk, 10,000 points! Okay.”
Although Moriarty only has 100 points now, but with a clear goal, Moriarty believes he will earn enough points.
Now Moriarty can sleep peacefully. When he wakes up, the sky is slightly brighter.
Moriarty just opened his eyes and heard the system prompt: “Today’s random task: invite the host to the Hogwarts kitchen and teach the house elf any Chinese dish. Reward, 100 points.”
Although the system prompt sound was still cold, Moriarty felt that the sound was even more cordial today.
100 points is less, but the task is not difficult, and there is no punishment. It is a process that accumulates, not to mention that cooking a Chinese dish can also change the taste.
So Moriarty didn’t go to the Room of Requirement today, but walked to the door of the Gryffindor common room, where the route to the Hogwarts kitchen started.
The little lions generally don’t have the habit of getting up early. They usually like to swim at night. Now they are sleeping soundly, and the corridor is quiet and silent.
Moriarty, standing in front of the Fat Lady’s portrait, walked back down the corridor, down six floors, and down the marble staircase into the foyer.
Then he turned left, walked to a wide stone corridor, and found a picture of a silver bowl full of fruit.
Moriarty scratched the big green pear in the silver bowl, the pear wriggled, laughed and turned into a big green handle!
Moriarty grabbed it and pulled the door open, into a large room with a high ceiling.
The room was the same size as the auditorium above, with many gleaming copper pots and basins piled around the stone walls, and a large brick fireplace at the other end of the room.
There were at least a hundred elves standing in the kitchen, all of them smiling, bowing and curtsey: “O noble and great descendant of Slytherin, your name has spread throughout the castle, and the family of house-elves has lived through the ages. Serving Hogwarts for generations, we will do whatever you ask us to.”
“Get up, I’m going to teach you a Chinese breakfast. I told you to do it. Fried shrimp and slippery wontons, mung bean and lily lotus seed soup, um… let’s have a two-color hibiscus egg roll! Okay, come and see, you can learn as soon as possible, breakfast I’m about to eat it!”
These house-elves obviously have a unique talent for cooking and cooking, and once they learn it, Moriarty doesn’t even need to demonstrate it a second time.
Moriarty, who successfully got 100 points, praised the elves without hesitation, and they burst into tears.
Moriarty didn’t want to comfort them, so he said, “Stop the tears! I’ll teach you a few more dishes, Royal Palace Roast Duck, Ants on the Tree, Sesame Chestnut Chicken… I hope to smell the roast duck on the dinner table on Friday night! ”
Time passed in the blink of an eye while the elves were cooking. Soon it was breakfast time, and the auditorium was gradually filled with people.
Moriarty pulled Tonks to the long Slytherin table, “Nymph, in return for the nutritious breakfast you arranged for our team, I’ll treat you to a unique Chinese breakfast this morning.”
Tonks was annoyed by Moriarty’s absence from the Room of Requirement for no reason. Hearing him say this, Tonks sat beside him and looked at him expectantly.
“Fried Shrimp and Slippery Wontons!” Moriarty said the name of the food clearly, and then Xiao Chaos and other delicacies appeared on the table in an instant.
Dumbledore, who was on the professor’s chair, understood this scene, “High standards! Even the headmaster of me has never enjoyed such treatment.”
He complimented and nodded to Moriarty, wondering if it was because Moriarty could command house-elves or because of the deliciousness of Chinese breakfast.
Moriarty stood up and said aloud, “At seven o’clock on Friday evening, I invited every gentleman and every lady to the auditorium, and the house-elf prepared a Chinese dinner of the highest standard for everyone.”
The students chatted in novel whispers, and Dumbledore smiled: “It’s great, since I can enjoy the same treatment as little Mr. Moriarty, I don’t think I need to deduct the salary of the house elf. ”
It turns out that you are such a principal!
Moriarty glanced at him strangely, and Professor McGonagall, Professor Sijiao and other professors who were familiar with Dumbledore also glanced at the old head Deng, but since this old man would go crazy from time to time, everyone was used to it. .
Tonks imitated Moriarty and said, “Mung bean lily lotus seed soup!”
A bowl of porridge suddenly appeared, and the faint fragrance came to his nostrils, and Tonks gulped and drank it.
Leon and some other old-fashioned purebloods couldn’t stand Tonks’ way of eating, but after seeing William next to him almost buried his head in the bowl, he shook his head helplessly.
In order not to appear embarrassed, Leon raised the topic: “Mr Moriarty, did you say that you are inviting everyone to have Chinese dinner on Friday night, because on Friday morning we will beat the Hufflepuff team and win the Quidditch trophy? ?”
“Obviously.” Moriarty swallowed a little chaos and looked at the Gryffindor table, “Unless Charlie can beat the third-ranked Ravenclaw by a big score of more than three hundred, it will be over on Friday. , we are the champions.”
“Yeah~”
“Ness!”
The players gave each other high fives. Since the Slytherin team kept a clean sheet every time, they were more than 300 points away from the second-ranked Gryffindor!
Can Gryffindor and Ravenclaw open a gap of more than 300 points? cannot! So the fourth Quidditch Trophy Slytherin has been won!
“You say that as if I don’t exist!” Tonks said coldly.
The little snakes smiled awkwardly but politely, and the Hufflepuff Seeker was still at their table.
After a pleasant breakfast, Moriarty and Tonks parted. The little snakes had a potions class in the morning, and they had already learned how to prepare the forgetting potion.
It is worth mentioning that Lilith, who aspired to surpass Moriarty, was still crushed by Moriarty, whether it was the boil potion or the forgetting potion, while Percy continued to be his third child.
At noon, since there were no classes in the afternoon and evening, Moriarty collected a few flying beetles and came to the Room of Requirement.
“I need a room where I can store the sundries.”
Moriarty thought silently, the Room of Requirement, which was originally used to practice magic spells, has become a utility room, and the floor is full of tattered debris and dust. It was to find the broken vanishing cabinet. Another vanishing cabinet was in the Bojinbok store. Through the two vanishing cabinets, he could go to Knockturn Alley to hunt the dark wizard.
“The vanishing cabinet is flying!” Moriarty took out the cedar wand, and in order to hide his identity, he put away the Slytherin staff.
A black cabinet with luxurious hollow carvings flew out from a pile of old books with a sound of “Bang”!
It was about two meters long and one meter wide. Moriarty didn’t want to let the Vanishing Cabinet fall on him, so he hurriedly used the Floating Charm to make the Vanishing Cabinet fall to the ground.
“Repair as ever! Repair as ever! Repair as ever!”
Moriarty remembered that it took Draco Malfoy half a semester to repair the Vanishing Cabinet in sixth grade, and he obviously didn’t need that long. He used twenty years of magic to cast three repair spells and repaired it in a moment. This vanishing cabinet.
To be on the safe side, Moriarty opened the cabinet door, put the collected beetles in, closed the cabinet door, waited for a minute, and opened the cabinet door again.
Two beetles were missing, but they were all alive. Meanwhile, two horned bugs have popped up in the Borgin Bock store, hoping they won’t mess with the dark magic goods there.
Moriarty knew that the Vanishing Cabinet had been repaired, so he took out the transformation potion refined during the Christmas holidays from the system space, took a sip, and countless faces flashed in his mind, all of whom he had seen.
Moriarty chose an ordinary-looking person, the ordinary person he saw at the station, who was an unfamiliar face to the dark wizard in Knockturn Alley, and would never arouse suspicion.
After a while, Moriarty turned into a middle-aged man with a slightly haggard face. He took out a black cloak from his bag, put it on, wearing a hood, and walked into the disappearing cabinet, closing the cabinet door from the inside.
