Chapter 190 The Redemption of the Rooster

"Still not recruiting?"

"Then it's useless, burn it?"

...

The Weasley brothers were grilling fish happily.

The fuel was the book - I don't know how it was restored, but it really makes a good fire.

"Brush it with oil, George!"

"okay!"

George, who was controlling the flame, agreed while carefully brushing cooking oil on the grilled fish - this is essential if you want the grilled fish to taste good.

Of course, there are also the prepared sauces - these things drip under the heating of the flames and fall on the diary that serves as the fire source, making small popping sounds and then emitting a rich aroma.

"It's been a week, and you're still keeping your mouth shut..."

Fred looked at the fire. As the flames burned, the diary was reborn. Under the influence of wind and fire, the diary flipped around, forming a rather artistic fire source.

It's such a waste to use it for grilled fish...

"How about we go borrow some sweet potatoes from the Hufflepuffs?"

"Not a bad idea. The fire source is stable anyway...it's really useful..."

George exclaimed, "I'll watch the fire, you go to the greenhouse and take a look. Order more, and then send them some baked food when you're done!"

【I said! 】

Such handwriting suddenly appeared in the diary.

Probably to make it easier for George to see, the font was particularly large, and several letters took up an entire page, but George ignored it - it didn't matter whether it was said or not, this crappy diary should know that its priority today was not to weave some deceptive tricks, but to roast the fish and those sweet potatoes.

Soon, Fred came back with a handful of sweet potatoes using magic.

"Let's grill the fish first, and when we're done we'll use the earth flame to control it, and then heat up the earth, and then we can grill the sweet potatoes."

As George spoke, he directed Fred to use Transfiguration to make an earthen oven and put the final layer of seasoning on the fish.

"It's still not recruiting?"

"Hired."

"Let's see what it's going to do." Fred and George exchanged glances.

The flame was extinguished, and the diary just showed that a few pages had been roughly torn off and I wiped my hands.

"Go ahead."

[Treasures require the sacrifice of delicious food... Well, you need to offer Slytherin enough delicious food before you can try to open Slytherin's treasure. ]

"Slytherin and Hufflepuff? Damn, they're not even close."

But then they realized that without Nick, they couldn't communicate with the diary - the diary simply described how to get the treasure...

[After Slytherin and Hufflepuff quarreled, they couldn't eat Hufflepuff's magical food, especially the roasted rooster... With the sacrifice of enough fresh roasted chickens, the secret of the treasure will be revealed! ]

"Roast chicken…Slytherin?"

Fred and George looked at each other - they didn't seem to be related at all, but the so-called trap and lie were actually about food?
But the trap is clear...

"Forget it, let's go back and talk to Nick... It should be the one to be sacrificed, so there shouldn't be any problem... But now..."

The two of them each held a grilled fish, lit the diary again, and stuffed it into the earthen stove - it was a scam anyway, so they might as well let it generate residual heat.

-

"They were grilling fish by the lake..." Andrew spent a long time finally getting a clue about the twins, and rushed over with the draft he had prepared long ago.

Sure enough, next to the Black Lake, the two iconic red hairs were very bright.

When Andrew came over, the two had already built an earthen stove, and next to it was a pile of sweet potatoes, most likely from the greenhouse. As for the grilled fish, half of it had already been eaten.

"Good afternoon, Weasley brothers."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Taylor. Is it okay to eat fish and baked sweet potatoes?"

"Of course not. It would be even better if I had a portion of sweet potatoes." Andrew sat down with a smile, "Well, in return, I allow you to do me a favor."

Facing the two people's dazed looks, Andrew directly stated his purpose, "Your sister, Ginny Weasley, has seriously violated school rules and lost an extremely dangerous notebook - it seems that you don't know yet?"

The sweet potatoes and the classroom are not in the same greenhouse - if they have not moved, it will be much easier to deceive them. Otherwise, we will have to ask Professor McGonagall for help or even need her to step in, which will be much more difficult.

After all, Andrew had to convince Professor McGonagall that the diary was dangerous and that she needed to put pressure on the students.

"Ginny? What are you going to do with her?"

Their hands went straight to their wands - a much more dramatic reaction than Ron's.

"It's not me, it's her. I'm trying not to get her fired, so please calm down. We are seriously discussing a solution to a problem."

Andrew glanced at the flaming earthen stove - he had to admit that it was well made.

"Okay, it's lost, but what can we do?"

"Actually, someone delivered that dangerous thing to Mr. Filch's office, but an unscrupulous thief stole the notebook from someone else's lost property... and basically everyone I know recommended you and said you would definitely be able to handle this matter."

Andrew looked at the fire, used his wand to take out a flower, and solidified it in his hand with Transfiguration. "I promise that even that thief with low morals will not be expelled, and neither will Ginny herself. If I can't do it, I will drop out of school."

Andrew pinched the flame and extinguished it. He smiled happily, "I think you don't want to see Ginny expelled from school because of her mistakes. If she's just given detention, that's fine."

Who are you scolding for having low morals?
The twins had the urge to hit someone.

But that’s absolutely not possible—regardless of whether they win or lose, all three of them will be expelled together.

"We won't betray the man, but we can take his place in detention. But you have to let Ginny just be in detention as well. Can you do that?"

George pretended to be thoughtful - if the fun was gone, they could find another one, but if Ginny was expelled, it would be the end of them, not to mention that they were also facing the possibility of being expelled.

Merlin's beard, it seems like Hogwarts has changed a lot, people are expelled at the slightest provocation!
"Okay, I'll take charge. When will you give me the notebook?"

"What does it look like?"

"It's tattered and blank inside, with a signature on the outside: Tom Riddle."

"Okay, there will be your sweet potatoes in the evening."

The twins agreed readily.

-

"Really at night? So soon?"

Andrew stood there in a daze, looking at the diary in his hand and the three sweet potatoes wrapped in it.

Damn it, three sweet potatoes. Are these the most terrifying sweet potatoes in the entire wizarding world?
He briefly examined the diary, and it was not affected by his Transfiguration at all - it was undoubtedly the real thing.

"I will try my best to adjust and make the confinement as easy as possible."

Andrew agreed readily, "These two are really efficient... But I feel a little guilty about blackmailing them with Ginny's matter..."

"This Taylor is really a man of his word. I must feel guilty for deceiving him with fake news..."

The three of them shook hands and made peace. Andrew walked towards Professor McGonagall's office with the diary and sweet potato in his hand in a dilemma - this thing was too dangerous, so it was better to hand it in quickly. He didn't have the courage to tease someone who took the opportunity to learn the dark arts.
