Being at Hogwarts, something's not right with this system.

After leaving the Potions classroom, Lin Yu and Hermione were preparing to wash the cauldron before heading to their hot pot lunch appointment.

"Lin Yu, Hermione, wait a minute," Harry and Ron chased after them from behind.

"You've noticed, haven't you?" Harry whispered mysteriously to the two of them, "Professor Snape seems to have injured his leg."

"He went into that room, we all saw it," Ron said loudly.

"Keep your voice down, why don't we just go ask Snape?" Lin Yu complained.

Moreover, they hadn't gone far; if the Slytherin students overheard them, it wouldn't be considered a secret.

What's the difference between that and cricketing in front of Snape?

So the four of them found a corner nearby and began to discuss things in hushed tones.

"What's in that room?" Ron asked, filled with curiosity.

Harry said thoughtfully, "I guess Hagrid might know. But I'm worried he won't tell us."

Lin Yu looked at Harry with a sullen expression. "Are you really that smart? You really don't know the plot? Haven't you seen the movie?"

"Actually," Hermione said hesitantly, "Hagrid isn't that smart, and he's very innocent and kind. Of course, I'm not saying he's stupid, but he won't be wary of us. So if you approach him as a friend, Harry, you might still be able to get some information out of him."

Hermione, you've gone astray.

Lin Yu couldn't help but reach out and hug Hermione, rubbing her head and messing up her hair.

Hermione, unwilling to give up, nuzzled Lin Yu's cheek with her little head, the young couple playfully bickering as if no one else was around.

In fact, the two of them were closer to Hagrid than Harry and Ron were.

Because they receive tasks from the system every now and then, some of which inevitably require them to go to Black Lake.

So before Black Lake froze, Lin Yu went fishing quite often and caught a lot of Merkus.

Each time, both sides would curse and swear.

In the end, Merkus would always give them a big, fat fish.

The main problem was that Mercus was dizzy looking at Lin Yu's fishing hook. She was just too unlucky; she almost always got caught by Lin Yu.

"Alright, it's been a while since we've been to Hagrid's place, let's give it a try," Harry hesitated for a moment before agreeing and taking on the task.

Ron looked at Lin Yu and Hermione, and said with a hint of jealousy, "What about you guys? Are you really going to eat that hot pot? What's hot pot? Is it good?"

It turns out Ron wasn't jealous of the couple's relationship; he was concerned that he and Harry had a mission to complete, while Lin Yu and Hermione seemed to be going out for something nice to eat.

But Ron, hot pot itself isn't for eating; it's for cooking delicious food in it.

Then the four people split into two groups and left.

The story of Harry and Ron goes without saying.

After Lin Yu and Hermione cleaned their crucibles, they arrived at the principal's office on the eighth floor.

"You've finally arrived," Dumbledore said, stepping out from behind his desk to greet the two as they entered.

Today is Friday, and I'll be resting starting tomorrow.

Although some classes were still in session, the principal didn't care about that.

"I've prepared everything," Dumbledore said solicitously as he approached the French windows and brought over a number of things from outside.

The Scottish Highlands are warm enough for snow in November, but the first snowfall of the year has yet to occur.

Therefore, the outside temperature can already be used as a natural refrigerator.

"Here's the beef and mutton you ordered. I had the kitchen prepare it. How would you like it cooked?" Dumbledore asked curiously. At this moment, he was no longer the greatest white wizard of modern times, but more like a curious child.

Dumbledore, who is over a hundred years old, is now like an old child, looking forward to the hot pot that Lin Yu mentioned.

Although it didn't snow today.

"You'll find out soon enough," Lin Yu said mysteriously. He then had Hermione put the frozen meat away, took out his wand, and twirled it around in his hand a few times, looking very dashing and cool.

Dumbledore, feeling dizzy from watching, warned, "Don't play with your wand like that, you'll break it."

Lin Yu smiled dismissively, raised his hand, pointed his wand at the chunks of beef and mutton, and chanted, "Divine Edge Without Shadow."

As Lin Yu thought, the magic instantly landed on the meat. The seamless 'blade' immediately sliced ​​through the beef and mutton, making countless cuts, turning the two chunks of meat into countless thin slices.

If Snape knew that he had used his own magic to make food, he would probably think something.

"Is this also a magic you invented?" Dumbledore remembered that Lin Yu hadn't used this move when he demonstrated his strength last time.

(The first appearance of the Shadow Step spell was in the sixth book, where Harry used it on the Infernal, but it was almost ineffective. Snape later used it himself in the Deathly Hallows. It's unknown whether Dumbledore knew about this spell; we'll assume he didn't.)

Lin Yu shook his head, refusing to claim the magic. He had mastered it because he knew the spell.

This was actually magic invented by Snape.

The Divine Sharpness Shadowless Spell is dangerous; it can slice through almost anything.

Lin Yu was too lazy to do it himself, so this was the perfect opportunity.

After cutting the two large chunks of meat, Lin Yu also asked Dumbledore to prepare a lot of vegetables in advance.

Actually, there are many kinds of green vegetables in Britain, not just potatoes, squash and carrots.

Of course, in their eyes, potatoes are not just a vegetable, but also a staple food?

So Lin Yu also asked Dumbledore to prepare spinach.

However, there was a funny incident: Lin Yu asked Dumbledore to prepare cilantro, but it turned out to be parsley.

It's a different kind of green vegetable that's similar to cilantro, but it's completely different.

The only regret is that there was simply no way to prepare more.

Foods like various hot pot meatballs, vermicelli, wide vermicelli, etc., and most importantly, tripe and honeycomb tripe, which used to be Lin Yu's favorite.

Although the British also eat animal offal, such as French foie gras which they love, and of course, the raw liver specialty at the Leaky Cauldron.

Moreover, Scotland has another famous dish: a sheep's stomach is emptied and cleaned, then the heart, liver, and lungs are chopped up and stuffed inside, along with oats, onions, mutton fat, salt, spicy seasonings, and broth. It is then boiled until it swells up and is ready to eat.

Something like lamb offal soup?

It's just not exactly mutton offal soup.

Not to mention calf brains, calf heads, and calf kidneys.

So seriously, stop saying that Europeans and Americans don't eat animal organs; they do.

They just don't know how to cook it properly. For example, when it comes to beef or lamb kidneys, they don't remove the fascia or care about the strong odor; they still eat them anyway.

Far away.

After Lin Yu had everything ready, and even made several dipping sauces himself with seasonings, it was a pity that he didn't have sesame paste.

At that moment, the office door opened, and Professor McGonagall walked in with a gloomy-looking Snape.

When Snape saw that Lin Yu and the others each had a cauldron in front of them on the headmaster's desk, and that the water was already boiling and they were preparing to cook meat slices, he was stunned.

Snape roared, "Dumbledore, it was you who led them in this mess!"

Dumbledore picked up a piece of mutton with his chopsticks, unsure whether to cook it in the broth or not.
