Chapter 76: Twice-cooked Pork, Kung Pao Chicken and Braised Pork Trotters
The sorting ceremony ended in a bustle, and the freshmen sat down at their respective college tables.
One of the girls caught Hephis's attention, and it certainly wasn't Ginny.
His shadow had long been hidden in Ginny's body, and he just had to wait for the right opportunity.
This girl had a very strange attraction for Hephes.
Hephis was sure it wasn't because the girl was pretty, although of course the girl was indeed very pretty.
It’s not because he is a pervert, although he is indeed a bit perverted.
The girl's name was Luna Lovegood.
The aura she exuded was very strange, not like that of a human, but more like some kind of elf.
The appearance of food interrupted Hephis's thoughts.
Today's dinner was special, or rather, the food in front of him was special.
In addition to common British dishes such as grilled steak, fried chicken legs, steamed mashed potatoes, baked potatoes and French fries.
There were three more special dishes in front of him - twice-cooked pork, Kung Pao chicken and a large plate of braised pork trotters.
No, it's four things, and a big bowl of rice.
These dishes are certainly not on the British menu.
After all, the British cookbook, like American history, is incredibly thin.
Hephis was very surprised. These should be specially prepared for him by An An.
During the summer vacation, An An came to South Kensington to help Hefs with housework.
At noon, someone brought lunch to Hephis.
An An was still very unhappy and grabbed his big ears, about to bang his head against the wall.
Hefeth finally managed to stop An An.
He talked until his throat was dry before An An calmed down.
An An vowed to learn how to cook Chinese food and make it for him.
Hefes didn't expect that at today's dinner, An An was not only successful, but also gave him a special treat.
He tried each dish first. The twice-cooked pork was made entirely of lean meat, the Kung Pao chicken contained pineapple, and the pig's trotter had no bones in it!
Also, all three dishes had too much sugar, they were very sweet, very sweet.
Despite this, Hephis still happily ate the rice in big mouthfuls.
After all, it’s An An’s first time, so she must finish it.
Draco watched Hephis showing off his food with two small wooden sticks, his eyes full of curiosity.
He couldn't help but move closer, "Hephis, what are you eating? Can I have a taste?"
"Of course, I suggest you try this." Hephis pointed maliciously at the large plate of pig's trotters.
Draco took a piece with his fork and put it in his mouth.
The sweet, soft and melt-in-the-mouth texture immediately made his eyes light up.
He quickly took a few more pieces and put them on the plate, then looked at Hefeth eagerly: "Hefeth, can I have some rice too?"
Hephis tapped the rice in front of him with his wand, and another bowl of rice appeared in front of him.
He pushed the rice to Draco and watched Draco awkwardly mixing the braised pork trotters and rice with a fork.
Hephis couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he handed the spoon to Draco, which made the scene look better.
Goyle and Crabbe were drooling at the sight.
Seeing this, Hephis pushed the plate directly between the three people and asked for two more bowls of rice.
"Hephis, what is this? It's delicious." Draco asked, pointing at the empty plate.
"Pig's trotter." Hephis replied with a smile.
Draco's face changed when he heard this, and he asked in a trembling voice: "You said this is a pig's foot?"
Hephis smiled evilly and nodded, "Yes, it's the pig's foot."
"But..." Draco had a strange expression on his face.
"It's delicious, isn't it?" Hephis put his arm around Draco's shoulders mischievously.
Draco licked his lips and nodded.
"Isn't this great?"
Dinner was over, and Hephis and Draco ignored what the prefect said.
Under the Disillusionment Charm cast by Hephis, they swaggered through the corridors of the castle.
Hagrid left the party early and was now staying at home leisurely.
"Bang, bang, bang, Hagrid, here we come!" There was an irrepressible excitement in Draco's voice.
After a while, Hagrid's familiar face poked out from the crack in the door.
"Why are you two here at this time? It's so late, you should go back to the lounge to rest."
Hagrid blocked the door, preventing Draco from getting in.
Hephis certainly knew what Hagrid was worried about, "Don't worry, Hagrid, I'm here this time, we won't be caught."
Hagrid hesitated, but finally let them in.
As soon as Draco entered the room, he rushed straight to the second floor and entered the suitcase impatiently.
"Hagrid, how was your summer? Last time in Diagon Alley, you left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to chat."
Hephis was not in a hurry and chatted leisurely with Hagrid.
"That's because the Forbidden Forest is a little uneasy, and I was..." Hagrid suddenly stopped talking.
"What's wrong, Hagrid?" Hephis asked curiously.
"You are not allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest, at least not in the near future." Hagrid warned with some lack of confidence.
He knew Hephis's strength. Last time, he brought Novia to cause a big commotion in the Forbidden Forest.
Hagrid wasn't too worried about Hephis' safety, but the situation this time was different.
"Don't worry, Hagrid, why would I go to the Forbidden Forest for no reason? Last time was an accident." Hefeth felt a little guilty.
"Recently, a group of poachers appeared in the Forbidden Forest, and many magical creatures have been captured." Hagrid said angrily.
Hearing this, Hephis frowned, "Dumbledore doesn't care?"
Hagrid shook his head helplessly. "Of course the headmaster will take care of it, but he is very busy. I have to find those people first."
Hephis asked tentatively: "Do you need to..."
"No." Hagrid's big head shook like a rattle.
Seeing this, Hephis could only shrug and followed Hagrid into the suitcase.
Novia, who was flying in the sky, seemed to have some sense of the situation and discovered Hephis as soon as he appeared.
She flapped her wings and flew quickly towards Hephes.
When it was 5 meters away from Hephes, it braked suddenly and slowly approached Hephes.
She carefully rubbed Hephis's body with her huge dragon head.
Today, Novia is three meters tall, and the dragon head alone is nearly half a meter.
Hephis reached out his hand and stroked Novia's huge dragon head. "Long time no see, Novia, you have grown taller again."
Novia enjoyed it very much, her whole body relaxed, and she lay down next to Hephis.
Draco, who was watching this scene, was filled with jealousy.
He just called for a long time, but Novia ignored him and continued flying in the sky.
He pointed at Novia and said angrily: "You ungrateful bastard!"
Hagrid was actually quite jealous because Novia wouldn't get close to him at all.
Novia turned her head towards Draco and snorted, sending out sparks.
