Chapter 391 Mrs. Puddifu, the expert in making sugar
It's getting closer to Christmas.
One morning, the muddy grounds were covered with a layer of crystal hoarfrost, and the castle was filled with a Christmas bustle.
Professor Lupine placed a few small Christmas trees in the classroom, with all kinds of candies hanging on them, and the little wizards can take them at will.
Kyle estimated that this was probably Professor Lupine's biggest expense this semester.
There is also Professor Flitwick, who has decorated colorful lanterns in the Charms classroom. They will also turn into thumb-sized elves when people approach, flapping their wings and flying around the classroom.
The time to go to Hogsmeade is scheduled for the last weekend before the end of the semester.
Fred and George didn't set off with the others. They decided to give Harry a little festive atmosphere, so they stayed in the castle for the time being.
Hogsmeade before Christmas looked like a Christmas card, with thatched cottages and shops covered in fresh snow, holly wreaths on the doors, and sprigs of christmas on the trees. magic candle.
When I was here last time, I had basically bought everything I needed to buy, so Cedric proposed to visit the only shop that I hadn't been to... Mrs. Puddiffe's Tea House.
As if it had been discussed in advance, Qiu immediately agreed, and even pulled in Kang Na and Kyle.
"Penello said it was the most worthwhile place in Hogsmeade," she said. "We haven't been there before."
Connor was immediately interested.
Kyle followed behind, looking at Cedric with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Why do you want to go there?" he asked.
"What?" Cedric turned his head, as if he didn't understand anything, "It's just curiosity. After all, in the whole of Hogwarts, we have only been to Mrs. Puddiffe's Teahouse and the Shrieking Shack."
"That's right..." Kyle's voice rose slightly, "But as far as I know, only couples go there, haven't you heard of it?"
"No, no..." Cedric stammered, then changed the subject abruptly, "Do you think Fred and George won't be able to find us after they come..."
When he said this, his ears were red.
Kyle didn't continue talking, and explained along his words: "You don't need to worry about this at all. The first thing they did when they arrived in Hogsmeade was to go to Zuko for an hour. Time to find us."
"Ha, that's true."
……
So, several people crossed the main road and came to the door of the small teahouse.
A notice was pasted on the door, and Qiu read the contents from it.
"Ministry of Magic
Customers please note that if there is no other notice, there will be dementors patrolling the streets of Hogsmeade at sunset every day. This measure is to protect the safety of residents and will not be lifted until Sirius Black is arrested...
Merry Christmas! "
Kyle also saw the contents of the notice.
It seems that the Ministry of Magic must have received some news and transferred most of the dementors here.
It's a pity that it's not very useful... If Kyle's guess is correct, Black should not be in Hogsmeade long ago.
Others didn't care either.
The notice clearly stated that the dementors would only patrol the streets at sunset, and it was still daytime.
Qiu pushed open the door of the teahouse.
It's really small here, just a few small round tables, and it's so steamy that everything looks like it's decorated with ruffles and bows.
Because the table is too small, they can only sit in two adjacent empty seats.
"What would you like to order?" Madam Puddife came over and asked.
She was a bit fat, with a shiny black bun, and squeezed between the two tables with difficulty.
"Four cups of coffee with panna cotta, thank you." Qiu seemed to have done her homework in advance, and after Mrs. Puddieff left, she explained in a low voice: "Penello said this is the best drink."
Kang Na, who was looking forward to this place before, was already blushing at this time, obviously noticing the strangeness in the teahouse.
It's all one-on-one here, holding hands.
But when everything came, she still blushed and sat next to Kyle.
Mrs. Puddife soon came over with four cups floating in mid-air.
The brown coffee is covered with a layer of white milk jelly, which looks pretty good.
Kyle took a sip, then put the glass down.
For a moment, he wondered if Mrs. Puddiffe had a crush on Dumbledore.
This coffee is completely prepared according to the principal's taste.
It was as sweet as a cup of pure syrup, and he didn't drink any coffee taste at all.
Even the hint of bitterness is more like concentrated syrup.
I am afraid that the house elves will be ashamed of this sugar cooking technique...
The few people stayed in the teahouse for a while, and Kang Na suddenly leaned over to Kyle and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything else here?"
Like Kyle, the coffee in her cup was also full, and she didn't move after taking a sip.
The tastes of the two are similar, and neither of them likes this kind of too sweet thing very much.
Kyle shook his head. He didn't know what drinks were available here, but even coffee can be made like this, and black tea is definitely not much better.
After thinking for a moment, Kyle asked, "How about, let's go to the Three Broomsticks.
Order a butterbeer, a plate of pine nut biscuits and two roast pies... It's too early to start today, I haven't had breakfast yet. "
Hearing the barbecue pie, Kang Na's eyes lit up, "Good!"
The two looked at each other and stood up at the same time.
"Do you want to call them?" Kang Na asked, looking at Cedric and Qiu beside her.
"Forget it." Kyle shook his head.
The two of them didn't know what they were talking about, and they didn't notice anything wrong around them at all.
"That's right." Kang Na covered her mouth and smiled.
Kyle went to pay, and the two quietly left the teahouse and walked towards the Three Broomsticks.
On the way, Connor looked at the cup of coffee in Kyle's hand and asked doubtfully, "Don't you like this? Why did you buy another cup?"
"This..." Kyle looked at the cup in his hand and said, "This is not what I drank, it is a Christmas present for Professor Dumbledore."
"Professor Dumbledore?" Connor hesitated, "Will he like this taste?"
"Of course." Kyle nodded and said, "If you observe carefully, you will find that Professor Dumbledore eats more desserts every time he attends a banquet.
And the last time I was in the Headmaster's office, he was still recommending a frosted pudding to Professor Snape.
It's Honeydukes' new product, and it's also sweet and cloying. I think this coffee should suit his taste. "
"Is that so? I've never noticed it before." Connor blinked.
Then she didn't know what to think of, and looked back thoughtfully in the direction of the teahouse.
It's getting closer to Christmas.
