#383 - Chapter 383 Such a delicious cake, I must go home to eat it

"Professor......"

A soft call awakened Sebastian, who was still marveling at the four magical delicacies.

Turning his head, he saw Hannah Abbott looking at him timidly not far away, appearing as if she wanted to come forward but was hesitant.

"Why are you standing so far away? Why don't you come over and take a look together?"

"Can I really look?" Hannah's eyes lit up, but she stopped after taking just one step.

Madam Hufflepuff's recipes were too precious; she really wanted to see them, but she felt she was being too greedy.

"My being able to enter here is entirely thanks to you, Professor. Besides, I've already listened to Madam Hufflepuff's lecture, so I really shouldn't covet the contents of that parchment any further."

Hearing this, Sebastian smiled happily.

This was a Hogwarts badger—simple, pure, and with unquestionable character.

"Miss Abbott, you're mistaken about one thing. You are the key figure in our being able to enter the secret realm. The professor is only here thanks to you."

"But..." Hannah hesitated.

She had spent a long time in the kitchen but hadn't managed to create a single magical delicacy.

After Professor Swan arrived, he first helped her solve the problem of the Musical Sweets and then personally helped her make the Transfiguration Chocolate Cake.

It was the success of the Transfiguration Chocolate Cake that brought her here.

As if understanding the little girl's hesitation, Sebastian said gently.

"Miss Abbott, with your passion for making delicacies, even if I hadn't appeared, you would have quickly solved the problem and come to this place."

"Moreover, I speculate that we won't be able to leave this secret realm until the two of us have memorized the contents of this parchment."

"So, don't be polite, and feel free to come and take a look." As he spoke, he beckoned and then stepped aside, giving Hannah his place.

Hannah looked at Sebastian gratefully; she still felt that the professor was taking care of her.

However, she didn't decline again but kept this gratitude silently in her heart and then walked to the parchment, diligently memorizing the contents above.

Sebastian nodded slightly, pondering to himself.

The little girl herself was full of enthusiasm for making magical delicacies. Now that she had obtained Hufflepuff's inheritance, she was like a tiger with wings. She was destined to shine in the magical world, and he still needed to invest in her in advance.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. Investing in such a promising stock in advance was definitely a sure-win business.

That's right, according to Hufflepuff's words, the deliciousness of the cooking directly affects the efficacy of the magical delicacy, so the degree of culinary skill will account for a large proportion here.

If Hannah could follow those top chefs in the Muggle world during the holidays, perhaps it could lay a more solid foundation for her skills.

If possible, it would be best to arrange for the little girl to study in the great eastern country, after all, that is the true holy land of cuisine.

Just thinking about the little girl in the future possibly creating a series of unheard-of magical delicacies, Sebastian's eyes showed a bit more expectation.

One thing that still needs attention is that the name of Hufflepuff's Secret Realm is too loud. If people know that Hannah has obtained the inheritance within, it is not a good thing.

After all, the little girl does not have the ability to resist risks, so he still has to explain it to her.

Sebastian immediately spoke, explaining the pros and cons to Hannah Abbott. After confirming that the little girl understood, he slowly walked towards Hufflepuff's statue.

He had already memorized all the contents on the parchment; it was time to explore the secrets of this secret realm itself.

Hannah eagerly memorized every word on the parchment, fearing to miss any details.

After silently reciting the last line of content, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and prepared to silently recite it again.

Just then, she suddenly heard Neville's voice, filled with surprise and curiosity, in her ear.

"Hannah! Did the cake succeed this time? Will fluffy ears grow after eating it?"

Hannah suddenly opened her eyes and found herself back in the Hogwarts kitchen, in front of the freshly baked Transfiguration Chocolate Cake.

Neville was full of concern, and Hermione and Ron were also standing aside, full of curiosity. The kitchen became lively again, filled with busy house-elves.

How could this be?!

It felt like a long time had passed, but in reality, only a moment had passed.

Subconsciously, she turned her head to look at Sebastian and found that he was smilingly scanning the kitchen.

Feeling Hannah's gaze, Sebastian turned his head: "Miss Abbott, quickly eat a piece of cake and try it."

Hannah happily nodded and then picked up a piece of cake and ate it. Soon, two fluffy cat ears grew on her head, and her adorable appearance directly stunned Neville.

Hannah picked up a piece of cake and put it into Neville's hand without saying a word. She wanted this good friend to share her joy.

"Neville, you try it quickly, it's so delicious!"

"Of course," Neville said vaguely with the cake in his mouth, "Everything you make is delicious."

Soon, a pair of cat ears also grew on his head. Neville touched the ears and laughed foolishly.

Looking at the two people laughing foolishly there, Sebastian grinned and sent out the final assist.

"Congratulations, Miss Abbott, this cake of yours will definitely become the most popular product at the Christmas Ball. Neville, it seems Miss Abbott doesn't have a partner yet, you see..."

Neville suddenly realized: "Hannah, would you like to be my partner for the ball?"

Hannah's eyes curved into a pair of crescents, and she smiled and agreed to his invitation.

Comfortable!

The silly boy didn't drop the chain at the crucial moment.

They were clearly just missing that last layer of window paper; they should have broken through it long ago.

Looking at the two people playing around, Sebastian felt happy in his heart.

He no longer disturbed their little happiness but took out a lunch box and packed two pieces of Transfiguration Chocolate Cake.

It was getting late, it was time to go home, close the door, and share this delicious cake with Mia.

Hehe he!

......

After Sebastian left, Hannah warmly invited Hermione and Ron to try the Transfiguration Cake she had just completed.

However, Ron obviously didn't have the mind to taste this delicacy but kept glancing at Neville and Hannah from time to time.

Seeing the two of them teasing each other because of the appearance of the cat ears and hearing the two of them discussing the Christmas Ball, his heart was full of envy.

So far, he still hadn't mustered the courage to invite Hermione to the ball. To be honest, he also really wanted Professor Swan's divine assistance.

Seeing that curfew time was approaching, everyone could only temporarily say goodbye and return to their respective dormitories.

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Ron received shocking news from Harry.

"What, Krum wants to invite Hermione to be his partner for the ball? Are you serious?"
