Chapter 29 The Dinner Party in the Kitchen
"Once we are discovered by the night watch professor or Filch, we will be fined and locked up. You have to know that Dickie Philip, who was fined before, has done everything from cleaning troll feces to cleaning toilets!"
Hermione was always nagging in his ear, and Joshua ignored her a little annoyed, and let her chatter behind him.
"Hermione, you always talk like this, no, it's easier to be discovered."
Neville's mouth was no longer his own, it was trembling up and down, and even the words were almost squeezed out one by one.
With Neville's reminder, Hermione finally stopped nagging, but she didn't intend to just let Joshua go.
"Where are we going now?"
The three of Hermione just walked out of the door of the Gryffindor lounge, and walked quietly in the dim corridor on the eighth floor.
"Go to the kitchen."
Joshua didn't turn his head, because he was looking at the bottom of the stairs to see if there were fluorescent spells of the night watch professors. The dazzling white light in the dark night is easy to spot, and as long as the main one is easy to avoid.
But this does not mean that one can take it lightly, after all, Snape once caught Harry wandering in the hallway with the Marauder's Map without any lighting.
Compared to avoiding the prudence of the night patrol professor, when Joshua saw that there were still sleeping portraits on the murals, he would say that the three of them were going to the kitchen.
It's not a lie because they really are going to the kitchen.
It is said that every mural in Hogwarts is Dumbledore's eyeliner, and what Joshua is doing now is just to show his "sincerity" in front of Dumbledore.
"The kitchen? Why are we going to the kitchen?" Hermione poked Joshua's back with her little finger and asked. "Aren't you full from dinner? I still have some chocolate."
It seemed that Hermione misunderstood something, Joshua turned around and said, "Do you think I ran to the kitchen for supper?"
Hermione didn't speak, just stared at Joshua with a pair of smart eyes.
"Well, I admit that I have some intentions, but more I want to get information about the Deathday Party from the house-elves in the kitchen." Joshua was palpitating and Hermione was too smart to see his abacus, but her mouth "The house-elves have been at Hogwarts the longest outside of the professor, so they must know something."
"Hermione? Can I have some chocolate?"
Neville was indeed so frightened today that he didn't eat much, and Hermione generously gave Neville all the chocolate in her hand.
The kitchen is located on the basement level of Hogwarts Castle, the closest to the Hufflepuff common room, followed by the Slytherin dungeon below, also known as the Slytherin common room.
So, in fact, Hufflepuff students were not the only ones who came to the kitchen to eat at night. On the contrary, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw came the least.
Both colleges have their own towers, which are really far away from the kitchen.
But just like that, Joshua led Hermione and Neville overcame many difficulties to arrive in front of a huge fruit plate mural in the corridor on the first floor of the basement.
"I know this, I read it in a book, and this mural is actually the door to the kitchen," Hermione said as she stretched out her little hand to rest on the mural, "We only need to do this to open the door to the kitchen! "
Hermione touched a green pear on the mural in front of her, and then the pear burst out laughing.
This startled Neville so much that he thought the ghosts were coming for him.
But really, it's just a pear turned into a doorknob.
Joshua and Hermione glanced at each other, and they pushed open the kitchen door together.
The kitchen that catches the eye is huge, as big as the auditorium on the first floor. In fact, the kitchen is just below the auditorium. The only difference is the ceiling.
Four long wooden tables were neatly placed in the kitchen, which corresponded to the long tables of the four colleges in the auditorium, and there were many dinner plates on them, but they were empty.
Whenever the school is open for dinner, the house elves will put the cooked food on these dinner plates, and the food will be sent directly from the table to the college table corresponding to the auditorium on the upper floor through magic. on the plate.
Because of magic, wizards or house elves do not need to use the stove when cooking food. They can often handle the food cleanly and hygienically by waving the wand in their hands.
Then the ingredients will run into the pot by themselves, or they will be cooked by the magic spell just in mid-air, and fall directly on the dinner plate.
But it was already late at night, and the nurturing elves in the kitchen were not cooking food, but cleaning.
The front of the kitchen corresponds to the auditorium on the first floor, and this huge mural hangs behind the teaching staff seats. Several education elves just wave their hands and only wipe the dust on the mural.
And one of the beautiful ladies in luxurious clothes is the founder of Hogwarts, Helga Hufflepuff, one of the Big Four.
It is worth mentioning that in the wizarding world, house elves are not allowed to wear clothes, only old curtains or rags are hung on their bodies.
But the house elves in the Hogwarts kitchen are different. Although most of them have the above-mentioned appearance, but that is just their own habit, and you can still see house elves wearing jackets or pants.
Thanks to Helga Hufflepuff, they are all free, and now they are just employed by Hogwarts, and Dumbledore is going to pay them.
Hermione had obviously never seen a house-elf, and it could be seen from her expression that Neville was much more usual.
An old-looking house-elf with a hooked nose and wrinkled skin came up to the three of them.
"Students of Gryffindor, if you are here to eat, you are welcome here."
The house elves at Hogwarts respect the students very much, as long as they come to eat, they will be satisfied without exception.
"Give me a steak, medium rare, and a bottle of orange juice." After speaking, Joshua turned to look at Hermione, "Why don't you have some?"
Hermione put her hands on her hips and looked at Joshua with puffy cheeks.
"I don't think you've forgotten why we're here!"
Joshua was already sitting on the long table, holding a knife and fork in both hands to comfort Hermione and Neville, "I know, I know, I haven't forgotten, it's okay to eat something first, and it can replenish energy and enrich the mind, right? .”
Under Joshua's constant persuasion, Hermione reluctantly ordered a snack, while Neville had already sat at the long table and started eating.
It seems that he is really hungry today.
