#380 - Chapter 380 Young man, the professor can only help you so far

"Uh, Hannah?" Neville finally couldn't help but speak.

Hannah was stunned for a moment, then looked up to see Neville and Sebastian standing next to her.

"Neville, Professor Swan," she said, somewhat surprised, but quickly showing a shy smile, "Sorry, I was just too focused and didn't notice you guys coming in."

"Hannah, are you still not clear about the reason for the failure?" Neville asked, "I've brought Professor Swan here, he will definitely be able to solve your problem."

Sebastian took a step closer and pointed to the sugar cubes on the stove: "Miss Abbott, did you add powdered dittany to the syrup in order to make candies that can change our voices?"

"Yes, Professor," Hannah nodded, "I wanted to make a musical note candy, so that we could all sing beautiful songs. I got the inspiration from the music club."

"Of course, after people eat it, they can make different sounds, and the specific timbre is determined by the flavor of the candy."

"In addition to that, I also plan to make Moonlight Pudding, Flame Ice Cream, and Transformation Chocolate Cake."

"Sounds interesting," Sebastian commented, "Could you briefly introduce the effects of these magical delicacies?"

"Of course!" Hannah said, "It's just that these foods also have some problems. The things I make never have any magical effects."

She turned around and retrieved a thick notebook full of notes from beside the stove.

"Professor Swan, these are my notes, could you please take a look and see what the problem is?"

With Hannah's explanation, Sebastian quickly understood the effects and production process of these foods.

First is Moonlight Pudding, which can make the body emit a faint glow after being eaten at night.

The effect of Flame Ice Cream is that one bite is cold and the other is hot, allowing people to feel the refreshing sensation of alternating cold and heat.

As for the Transformation Chocolate Cake, this one is amazing. After eating it, a pair of animal ears will grow on the head for a period of time.

Sebastian could foresee that if it could really be developed, this cake would definitely be a hit.

After all, most young girls can't resist the temptation of having a pair of fluffy rabbit ears or cat ears on their heads.

Under Sebastian's research, he found that the production of Musical Note Candy and Moonlight Pudding was relatively simple, just like Fizzing Whizbees, only requiring the addition of corresponding materials during the production process.

Speaking of which, it was somewhat like extremely simple potion brewing.

The reason why the little girl was failing was also very simple.

Taking the Musical Note Candy she just made as an example, after adding the dittany powder, she didn't grasp the magical reaction in the syrup, causing all the effects of those powders to be lost.

To grasp this key, all that was needed was a little magical perception, which was precisely what this little girl, Hannah Abbott, lacked.

After all, the content related to magical perception would not be covered until after the sixth grade.

Logically speaking, after last year's training, Neville's level of magical perception should be able to sense the difference.

Could it be that this kid has just been watching and cheering, without ever helping out once?

Pure wood!

After understanding this, Sebastian directly instructed Neville: "Neville, you go make a batch of Musical Note Candy."

Neville was confused, but he didn't ask why. Instead, he honestly started the fire and began to boil the honey syrup.

Soon, the honey syrup presented an alluring amber color.

"Now, add the dittany powder! Pay attention to using magical perception to carefully feel the changes in the pot, just like when you use the Patronus Charm."

Magical perception?

Neville seemed to understand something, picked up a spoonful of dittany powder and added it.

Immediately, the syrup in the pot once again emitted a gentle buzzing sound.

He didn't dare to neglect, and quickly released his magical perception, focusing all his attention on feeling it.

Sure enough, he found that the magical reaction in the syrup began to slowly decrease after reaching a peak, and as the syrup became more and more calm, the magical reaction in it became smaller and smaller.

"Professor, I understand what's going on!" Neville exclaimed in surprise.

However, a new doubt arose. He didn't know how to stop this process.

As if seeing Neville's doubts, Sebastian stretched out his wand and gently waved it at the syrup in the pot.

"It's very simple, we just need to use a spell to forcibly stop this process."

In an instant, the syrup in the pot solidified into a solid sugar cube. Sebastian continued to wave his wand, precisely cutting it into small sugar cubes.

"There should still be a little bit of effect, lasting for about a minute, but you can try it out."

Hannah didn't hesitate, picked up a candy and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Neville: "Neville, how did you do it? How do you use magic to perceive?"

As soon as the words came out, Neville discovered that Hannah's voice had completely changed, carrying a mature tenderness that made his heart race.

He also took out a candy and put it in his mouth: "It's very simple, I can teach you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth, because he found that his voice had turned into a loli voice, and that soft, cute voice made his entire face turn red.

Hermione and Ron, who were not far away, also noticed the movement here. They walked over and also began to try the Musical Note Candy.

"Theoretically speaking, a perfect Musical Note Candy can allow people to maintain a voice change for one to two hours. This requires you to constantly experiment with the ratio of syrup and dittany powder," Sebastian said after thinking for a while.

"Neville, you are responsible for teaching Miss Abbott how to use magical perception."

Young man, in this way, you two will have more opportunities to spend time together.

The professor can only help you this far, you don't have to thank me.

"Miss Abbott, let's continue to talk about Flame Ice Cream and Transformation Chocolate Cake."

Sebastian showed a gentle smile: "These two are a bit more troublesome. You need to develop special spells for them."

"It's still early, why don't we take a look at the Transformation Chocolate Cake first."

"How about this, you make a few now, and we'll study them together."

Hearing this, Hannah Abbott happily agreed, and immediately took out eggs, flour, and corresponding containers to start making it.

As soon as she came into contact with these things, Hannah's temperament changed completely.

In Sebastian's impression, the other party was a relatively shy girl, and her grades had always been mediocre. She belonged to the more transparent type at Hogwarts.

But after starting to make cakes, the whole person became confident and exuded a love for making food from the inside out.

That's right, not a love for food, but a love for making food.

Sebastian found that he hadn't seen this kind of pure love for a long time.

He couldn't help but have a picture appear in his mind—during his student days, Snape was趴 on the table, studying the principles of spells over and over again.

The Levicorpus and Sectumsempra spells were invented in this state.

Based on this alone, Sebastian could conclude that this little girl, Hannah Abbott, would definitely achieve great success in magical cuisine.

Discovering a diamond in the rough made him extremely happy. He washed his hands and actively joined in the making of the Transformation Chocolate Cake, starting to fully enjoy the joy of making food.

Although the Transformation Chocolate Cake was troublesome, it was not too complicated.

In the original book, the twins could make Canary Creams, and now that Sebastian took action, he quickly solved the technical difficulties.

The moment the cake came out of the oven, Hannah Abbott cheered directly.

However, she suddenly found that the surroundings had become quiet. Besides Sebastian and her, there was no one else.

"Professor Swan, what's going on? Where are the others?"
