Chapter 29 Dawn Ranch

patter

There was a burst of sound in the air, and an old house elf wearing a tailored suit appeared in front of everyone.

He bowed slightly to everyone, and then said to Raven.

"Master, lunch is ready."

Raven nodded and turned around to greet everyone to the dining area located on the east side of the manor's lawn.

"This is Old Dico, my butler, are you allergic to anything? Today's theme is seafood. It would be a pity if anyone is allergic to seafood, but I also arranged for the chefs to prepare some meat. "

Raven just asked casually, but unexpectedly someone actually raised their hand.

Jack is allergic to peanuts and Hermione is allergic to bananas.

As for the little wizard who comes from a wizarding family... what are allergies?

"Okay then, I'll ask the chef Lao Guge when we get to the table. The chef team has gone back to the kitchen to prepare lunch for the students, but their foreman, who is today's chef, has stayed. There is nothing for him to do."

"Kitchen?" Except for Percy, who had already heard about it, the other little wizards looked like they had discovered a new world and focused their attention on Raven.

"Of course there is a kitchen. Go out of the Hufflepuff common room and walk five steps to the Hogwarts kitchen? Otherwise, Jack, where do you think the midnight snacks I bring you at night come from?"

Eating too much late-night snacks is indeed easy to gain weight, and Jack, who has obviously gained more fat on his face than when he started school, also looked confused at this time.

"I thought you found a place to cook it yourself. I thought you went out every night just to get food.

And you said the kitchen is right at the door of Hufflepuff? Pappy and I didn’t even know? "

Pappy obviously heard it for the first time.

"Okay, I'll take you two with me tonight. In fact, my night tour basically means reading books here, playing with these magical animals, and then regularly going to the plant room to see the little cuties I raise.

The food was left in the kitchen, which was on duty every night. I also met Professor Dumbledore occasionally and Professor Silby once. "

The way to the dining table is not too far. A very typical garden restaurant appeared in front of everyone. The long table, which can seat twenty or thirty people, was wrapped in white cloth. There were no decorations such as flowers. The table was full of beautiful things. utensils,

Indeed, as Raven said, today is mainly about seafood. There are more than three kinds of lobsters alone, and there are countless varieties of shellfish. Large pieces of barbecue are being automatically cut by cutlery on the oven.

"Guge, these two students are allergic to peanuts and bananas respectively. These are not included in today's meal, right?"

A house elf with gray hair but still looking very capable emerged from the air. He was wearing a worn off-white Hogwarts pillowcase, which had faded to the point where it was difficult to tell which house it belonged to.

"Okay sir, I'll take the bananas off the after-dinner fruit list, and I used peanut oil in one of the dishes, and I'll take it away from Mr. Jack Wills then."

So Raven asked everyone to sit down, and Lao Guge disappeared again.

The service tenet of house elves is "invisible service". Even if he accepts the private work of the little wizard, he cannot let go of this concept.

Lao Guge was worthy of being the chef brought out by Raven. Even Malfoy, who came from a wealthy family, enjoyed the meal. House elves also had different levels of cooking ability.

But there was one little wizard who was obviously eating absent-mindedly. Hermione has always been a child who pursues freedom of thought and does not pay attention to material comfort. Raven knew what she was thinking, the human rights of elves.

But Raven didn't cover her with his own thinking. He wanted Hermione to think on her own. After thinking to a certain stage, Raven would lead a breakthrough to a deeper level, and also use this incident to change Hermione's reading. Habit,

Now Hermione is like most people, reading a book and taking it as the truth. In fact, the threshold for writing is not high, and many authors themselves are not considered leaders in a field. Books written by "successful people" may even leave malicious traps.

Reading should be a process of collision between one's own thoughts and the author's thoughts. What one has carefully polished is a piece of raw jade. Countless people draw on the same piece of paper, but only one piece of waste paper can be harvested.

Hermione was still young at this time, and Raven had expectations for her growth.

As for the reason? Some people may not believe it, but Raven actually has good intentions towards most things in the world, and he wouldn't mind cultivating them if they caught his eye.

As for the opposite...a small group of guys who are hostile to Raven will have to bear all the malice. Isn't this very balanced? Don't you think so, goblin.

After lunch, everyone played around with some of their favorite things in the manor.

Jack is watching the 8K version of "The Godfather". In 1991, this was more than just a dimension reduction blow.

Naturally, Hermione was holding a book in the sun room while George Fried was playing pool. Percy left first. Raven expressed his understanding. Penelope Crevat, the prefect of Ravenclaw, She is passionately in love with Percy.

Pabbie is with the little unicorn Zoltan and his family. Char, as an extremely rare adult golden unicorn, is deeply loved by Pabbie. Now she is braiding Char's partner's hair in "Hundred Styles".

Seeing that everyone had something to do, Malfoy was lying in the sun room doing nothing, trying to dry himself into salted fish. Raven called him up and walked out of the manor to the river.

"Draco, I have a favor to ask of you."

Raven said to Malfoy

"But this time you may be the bad guy and give Harry a hard time."

Malfoy looked troubled. To be honest, after spending this time together, he didn't want to be at odds with the three little lions.

Raven added.

"It's okay. I'll help you explain to them afterwards. "

Malfoy nodded, but still a little reluctantly.

"Okay, you must remember to explain to them."

Only then did Raven reveal his purpose.

"I remember that Slytherin and Gryffindor had flying lessons together on Thursday, right? I need you to give Harry a hard time during the flying lesson."

"Ah? Why are you making things difficult for Harry? Has he offended you? I asked him to apologize to you."

Listen, listen, is this what your brother should say?

But for his own purposes, Raven still explained.

"My brother Charlie used to be the ace seeker of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, but he graduated this year and George Freed was already the team's batter, so the team needed a new one. Seeker, I think Harry has the talent."

Malfoy had a big question mark on his face.

Did you just go to Hufflepuff to eat and drink? Is Gryffindor your home?

Of course, he didn't dare to say this.
