Homecoming from Hogwarts

Professor Brain was standing next to a wooden table. He was wearing loose blue jeans, a gray woolen coat, and a white apron. When they saw him, Professor Brain was He worked hard to knead a large piece of dough on the chopping board.

"Puchchi--"

Hermione couldn't hold it in anymore, she covered her mouth and started laughing, while several other people also pursed their lips and shook their shoulders.

This is not only because of the funny costume of Amosta Blaine, who is famous throughout the wizarding world, but also because Amosta, who is kneading dough, actually has a lollipop in his mouth, and this The lollipop probably came from a little Muggle girl lying behind Amosta who was causing trouble for him.

The little girl has curly black hair. She is holding Professor Braine's neck and is hitting Professor Braine's head with a stick. The small black stick seems to be Professor Braine's wand. .

"Amosta, I brought them--"

Mrs. Reagan walked over quickly and pulled down the little girl who was riding on Professor Blaine's neck. This aroused strong resistance from the little girl, but in the end Mrs. Reagan convinced the little girl and pulled out her hand. The wand was thrown into the basin of flour and water in front of Amosta.

It could be seen from Ron's shoulders that immediately began to tremble violently that he was having a hard time suppressing his laughter.

The employees who were working in the kitchen and the older children who were helping were also looking at them. Some of them gave them friendly smiles, and the door they came in through was already blocked by children watching. Reagan When the wife went out, she drove them elsewhere, and then closed the kitchen door.

The clanking sound became louder all of a sudden, and the Muggles working in the kitchen all averted their eyes, but Harry could feel that they were still looking at them from the corners of their eyes, but no one came forward. disturb.

When Harry turned his attention to Professor Brain again, he found that Professor Brain had finally turned his head. Casting a faint glance at them, a sudden chill shot up his spine, causing Harry to instinctively puff up his chest and stand obediently. He was not the only one to have such a reaction, almost all the people around him had the same reaction. reaction.

"come over--"

Amosta chewed the lollipop into pieces, and then threw the candy bar accurately into the trash can. He looked sideways at the people who seemed to be under a petrification spell, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Ahem-"

Sirius was the first to take the step. After all, the suggestion to come to Amosta came from him, so the responsibility of calming Amosta's anger naturally fell on him. He had a look on his face. He smiled a little awkwardly, and as he walked slowly towards Amosta, his temples were already dripping with sweat.

Amosta's expression was as usual, but the faint displeasure in his lilac eyes made the people who followed Sirius look a little embarrassed. Remus glanced at Sirius who didn't know how to say hello, and looked at Sirius who was a little confused. The frightened Harry and the other three pursed their lips, looked at the dough on the table, and showed relaxed smiles.

"It's surprising, Amosta, I never knew you were good at cooking—"

Amosta pulled his wand out of the basin, wiped it on his apron and put it casually into his pants pocket. Then he looked at the restless people. After a moment of silence, Amosta shook his head. His expression relaxed,

"There is no such thing as a free dinner, everyone -" Amosta raised his chin at Sirius and the others, "If you want to eat, you have to do it yourself."

"Oh!"

Sirius suddenly became happy. He looked at the pots, pans and food ingredients on the table, his gray eyes showing eagerness to try.

“We’re all happy to help!”

Although they say they are helping, in fact, most of the people from the magic world are doing a disservice.

Sirius comes from the noble Black family. He has lived in an environment with the help of house elves since he was a child. He has never done any housework. Even when he was in Azkaban, the prisoners' food was brought by dementors. Facing all the pots and pans, he didn't know what to do.

Remus's performance was not much better than that of Sirius. Although he also went through some difficult days, don't forget that no matter how difficult the environment, he always had magic to help him, and now, he definitely can't Wave your wand in front of a crowd of Muggles to make potatoes jump and peel themselves.

Needless to say, Ron, Mrs. Weasley has always taken good care of the children at home, and although Hermione comes from the Muggle world, basically when she is at home, she only needs to be responsible for studying, and the rest Her parents will solve the problem for him.

So, after Sirius almost cut off his fingers for the third time, Remus broke two plates and Ron and Hermione, who were looking after the stove, tried to make the flames in the stove strong, but they were filled with too much firewood. After the fire went out and caused thick smoke to billow in the kitchen, Amosta asked them all to go aside with a dark face as all the Muggles in the kitchen looked on with laughter.

Harry's performance was surprising.

Washing, peeling, slicing, and frying all the vegetables were done so smoothly that even Amosta couldn't help but look at Harry with admiration.

"Well done, Potter!" Amosta smiled and said in a low voice,

"When you graduate from Hogwarts, becoming a chef at the Leaky Cauldron is also a good choice!"

Harry grinned, his face brighter than when he was praised in gym class.

"You know, uh, sir, I did a lot of cleaning and cleaning when I was with the Dursleys!"

Harry smiled happily, feeling proud that he could help, but he didn't notice that after hearing what he said, the smile on Remus' face faded, and Sirius pursed his lips. , eyes flashing with anger and remorse.

The face of a little boy with brown hair and smart eyes flashed through the gap in the kitchen door. Hermione noticed him. She wiped the black ash on her face with her sleeves and looked at Bray who was frying sausages skillfully. Professor En's side face showed respect in his brown eyes.

"Brain taught. Well, sir, have you been taking care of them, I mean, this orphanage. These children?"

"You know I don't have a lot of time, Hermione -"

Amosta poured the fried sausages into the plate and brought it to the empty table where the dishes were placed. Then, without stopping, he walked to the oven, his nose flickered, and he observed the color of the pastry on the surface of the bread through the glass. He took the time to answer road,

"So, there is not much help I can provide, it can only be some financial support--"

"If you need it, Amosta—"

Remus seemed to have been waiting for this topic, and he said immediately,

"I can discuss it with the goblins -"

"I can help too, Amosta!"

Sirius was shocked when he realized what Remus was going to say and said quickly.

Harry also looked hesitant to speak. He was willing to use part of the inheritance he inherited from his parents to help these children. This was not just for the sake of Professor Blaine!

"No need, Remus and Sirius-"

When he opened the oven, the rich aroma of ground food rolled in, and Ron's stomach immediately made a growling sound. He nervously covered his stomach and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was paying attention to him.

Smelling the alluring ground fragrance, Amosta nodded with satisfaction,

"This is entirely my own business, and the transfer of property between the wizarding world and the Muggle world is strictly monitored. You understand, I don't want to make it known to the whole world."

Seeing that the table with food was already crowded with all kinds of colorful dishes, Amosta took off his apron and breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and looked at the older children and staff who were already waiting.

"It's time to eat, everyone!"
