Chapter 248 This kitchen belongs to your family, right?
"Argus, these are my notes from school."
"Maybe they will be of some inspiration to you."
Lupin took out a few notebooks from the drawer and handed them to Argus.
These were originally left by him for Harry, but as a professor, he couldn't owe his students a favor.
He could only give these notes to Argus first.
As for Harry... let's talk about it later!
"Thank you for your generosity, Professor Lupin."
Argus has received too many notes.
It's a pity that the professor's notes can't trigger achievements, otherwise, he could have earned a lot of achievement points with these notes alone.
"You didn't have dinner, did you? Argus?"
Lupin drank the potion, and his physical condition improved significantly.
Even the wound on his face was slowly healing.
He looked at the empty potion bottle with a little heartache, raised his head, and had a little smile in his eyes.
"Come with me, I'll take you to have a good meal!"
As he said, he took Argus downstairs.
The two of them came all the way to the Hufflepuff common room, and walked a distance to the hidden stone corridor inside.
Arriving in front of a painting of a bowl of fruit.
Lupin's tone was filled with nostalgia and some joking: "It's been more than ten years since I last came here."
"Watch it, Argus!"
"Don't blink!"
"This is a good place!"
Lupin reached out and gently scratched the pear in the painting.
The pear laughed foolishly and turned into a green doorknob.
Lupin turned the doorknob and the kitchen door slowly opened.
Touching his chest as an invitation.
"Mr. Grindelwald, welcome to the Hogwarts kitchen."
Argus smiled and followed Lupin in.
Lupin introduced Argus as he walked.
"The kitchen of Hogwarts is next to the Hufflepuff common room. Did you see the mural just now?"
"Touch the pear in the painting and the door will open."
"Hogwarts' kitchen is run by house elves. Just tell them what you want to eat."
"They usually won't refuse."
As the two walked in, long tables appeared in front of them.
The layout scene is very similar to the hall of Hogwarts Castle.
"Generally, they will put the food on the table and then use magic to transfer it directly to the hall."
"I used to come here often with Prongs and Padfoot. I wonder if the house elves here still recognize me."
As they talked, the two had come to the kitchen.
When a group of house elves saw Argus coming, they put down their work and raised their heads.
Their eyes were full of excitement.
Lupin didn't know the relationship between them and Argus, and thought they were looking at him.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After bragging for so long, what if they ignored him in the end? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?
He couldn't help but recall his youthful years at Hogwarts.
Another wave of emotion.
Back then, their four-member group was also very powerful at Hogwarts.
As a result, the situation has changed. In just ten years, it has become like this... Alas!
Lupin raised his hand to call Argus: "Just tell them what you want to eat."
"You're welcome!"
Turning his head to look at the house elves again: "Okay, you guys do your own things, don't worry about me."
"Don't delay your work because of me."
Lupin waved his hands while speaking, but none of the house elves even paid attention to him.
Not even a glance at him!
"Mr. Grindelwald, you finally came to see Leah!"
"Mr. Grindelwald, you haven't been here for a while. Are you too busy recently? It doesn't matter. Next time, just tell us with magic, and we will send the food to you in the lounge."
"That's right, Mr. Grindelwald, next time if you are busy, let us send it to you."
"Mr. Grindelwald, we have researched a lot of new dishes recently! Come and try them!"
A large group of house elves excitedly surrounded Argus and chattered, wishing they could chop themselves up and stew soup for Argus.
The lively scene was in sharp contrast to the desolate scene next to Lupin.
Lupin had just boasted about his reputation in Hogwarts.
But he was slapped in the face so quickly!
The kitchen he had been bragging about for half a day was almost becoming Argus's private dining table!
He didn't have to come in person if he wanted to eat, just use magic to tell the house-elves!
In the whole Hogwarts, he seemed to remember that only Dumbledore had this treatment.
The Dean would at most ask them to deliver a meal, and whether they could order a meal depended on the situation!
Looking at himself and then at Argus, the difference was too big!
Argus smiled and greeted several familiar house-elves.
The house-elves cheered again.
He also remembered that this was his first time in the kitchen since the start of the school year.
Due to the course, he fell asleep most of the time during breaks and didn't think about the kitchen at all.
He smiled apologetically at the house elves: "I'm sorry, the classes are really tight recently."
"I haven't seen you for a long time, I apologize to everyone."
"It's okay, Mr. Grindelwald! You come to Hogwarts to learn magic, of course you have to focus on studying!"
"Yes, Mr. Grindelwald! If you study too late at night, just let us know and we will bring you a midnight snack."
"Mr. Grindelwald, I have researched a new dish based on looking up at the stars. Would you like to try it?"
"..."
The enthusiastic house elves brought a full table of dishes to the two of them in a short while.
Lupin's eyes were wide open!
When he usually came here, at most he would have roast potatoes and sausages.
If he was lucky, he could get some bacon and fried eggs.
Where have I seen such a scene!
Not to mention him and Argus, even if all the professors put together, they might not be able to finish it!
Not only that, a group of house elves were still busy.
The table was about to be full!
Argus hurriedly waved his hand to stop: "Leah, help me tell the other elves not to make any more."
"These are enough, we can't finish them at all."
Hearing Argus's persuasion, Leah asked her companions to stop with a look of regret.
A large group of house elves did nothing, gathered together and stared at Argus and Lupin eating.
They waited expectantly for Argus to calm down.
Unaccustomed to being watched while eating, Lupin only ate a few mouthfuls quickly and put down his knife and fork.
Argus was fine, as he had also arranged things while eating when he was at Saints.
At Hogwarts, as the head of Slytherin House, he would often attract attention.
In comparison, there were just a few more people this time.
Nothing else.
After tasting all the dishes and giving comments one by one.
With a bulging belly, Argus finally left the kitchen with Lupin.
Lupin wanted to ask several times, but he didn't dare to do it.
He was almost embarrassed, so how could he open his mouth?
Lupin was going to take Argus back to the lounge, but the two of them didn't walk a few steps.
A figure with a lantern appeared not far away.
Seeing the two, he immediately quickened his pace and rushed towards them!
A cat's cry suddenly sounded from somewhere.
Meow!
