Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Chapter 49: Chinese Cuisine and the Disappearing Cabinet (seeking further reading)

"Blind box lottery? A lucky reward, maybe I should drink some elixir before the lottery?" Moriarty curled his lips, "System, is there any kind of mission or lottery that has no risk and all are real rewards?

"

"Yes, the host pays 10,000 points to start the sign-in task."

"Tsk, ten thousand points! Okay."

Although Moriarty only has 100 points now, with a clear goal, Moriarty believes he will earn enough points.

Now Moriarty could sleep peacefully, and when he woke up, the sky was slightly bright.

As soon as Moriarty opened his eyes, he heard the system prompt: "Today's random task: Ask the host to go to the Hogwarts kitchen and teach the house elves any Chinese dish. The reward is 100 points."

Although the system prompt tone was still cold, Moriarty felt that the voice was even more friendly today.

100 points is a bit too low, but the task is not difficult and there is no punishment. It is a process of accumulating little and adding up, not to mention that cooking a Chinese dish can also change the taste.

So Moriarty did not go to the Room of Requirement today, but walked to the door of the Gryffindor Common Room, where the route to the Hogwarts kitchen started.

Lion cubs generally don't have the habit of getting up early. They usually like to go out at night. Now they are sleeping soundly, and the corridor is quiet.

Moriarty stood in front of the Fat Lady's portrait, walked back along the corridor, went down six floors, and followed the marble stairs into the foyer.

Then turn left, walk to a wide stone corridor, and find a painting of a silver bowl filled with fruits.

Moriarty scratched the big green pear in the silver bowl. The pear squirmed, chuckled, and turned into a big green handle!

Moriarty grabbed it and pulled the door open, entering a large room with a high ceiling.

The room was as big as the auditorium above, with many gleaming copper pots and basins piled against the surrounding stone walls, and a large brick fireplace at the other end of the room.

There were at least a hundred elves standing in the kitchen. They all smiled, bowed, and curtsied: "O noble and great descendant of Slytherin, your name has spread throughout the castle, and the house elves have been around for generations."

We have served Hogwarts for generations, and we will fulfill your orders."

"Get up, I'm going to teach you a Chinese breakfast. I told you to make it, pan-fried shrimp wontons, mung bean, lily and lotus seed soup, and um... let's have a two-color hibiscus egg roll! Okay, everyone, look over here, you learn as soon as possible, breakfast

I’m going to eat it!”

These house elves obviously have a unique talent in cooking. They can learn it immediately, and Moriarty doesn't even need to demonstrate it a second time.

After successfully gaining 100 points, Moriarty praised the elves without hesitation, and they burst into tears.

Moriarty didn't want to comfort them, so he said: "Stop crying! I will teach you a few more dishes, Palace Roast Duck, Ants on the Tree, Sesame and Chestnut Chicken... I hope to smell the aroma of roast duck on the dining table on Friday night!"

"

Time flew by in the blink of an eye while the elves were cooking, and soon it was breakfast time, and the auditorium was gradually filled with people.

Moriarty pulled Tonks to the long Slytherin table, "Nymph, in return for the nutritious breakfast you arranged for our team, I will treat you to a unique Chinese breakfast this morning."

Tonks was annoyed because Moriarty was absent from the Room of Requirement for no reason. When she heard what he said, she sat next to him and looked at him expectantly.

"Fried shrimp wontons!" Moriarty clearly said the name of the food, and then Xiao Chaos and other delicacies appeared on the table instantly.

Dumbledore, who was sitting at the professor's chair, understood this scene and said, "It's a very high standard! Even I, the principal, have never enjoyed such treatment."

He praised, nodding towards Moriarty, not sure if it was because Moriarty could command the house elves or because of the delicious Chinese breakfast.

Moriarty stood up and said loudly: "At seven o'clock on Friday night, I invite every gentleman and every lady to come to the auditorium. The house elves have prepared the highest standard Chinese dinner for everyone."

The students started chatting in novel low voices, and Dumbledore smiled: "That's great, since I can also enjoy the same treatment as Mr. Moriarty, I guess I don't have to deduct the house elf's salary.

"

So you are such a principal!

Moriarty gave him a strange look, and several professors familiar with Dumbledore, including Professor McGonagall and Professor Stuart, also glanced at Old Dumbledore calmly. However, given that the old man would go crazy from time to time, everyone was used to it.

.

Tonks imitated Moriarty and said: "Mung bean, lily and lotus seed soup!"

A bowl of porridge suddenly appeared, and a faint fragrance hit her nostrils, and Tonks started drinking it.

Leon and other old-fashioned purebloods couldn't stand the way Tonks ate, but after seeing William next to him almost burying his head in the bowl, they shook their heads helplessly.

In order not to appear embarrassed, Leon raised the topic: "Mr. Moriarty, you said you would treat everyone to a Chinese dinner on Friday night because we will defeat the Hufflepuff team and win the Quidditch trophy on Friday morning.

?”

"Obviously." Moriarty swallowed a small blur and looked at the Gryffindor table. "Unless Charlie can defeat the third-ranked Ravenclaw with a score of more than 300 points, once Friday is over,

, we are the champions.”

"Yeah~"

"Neith!"

The players high-fived each other. Since the Slytherin team kept a clean sheet every time, they were more than 300 points behind the second-ranked Gryffindor!

Can Gryffindor open a gap of more than 300 points with Ravenclaw? No! So the fourth Quidditch trophy is won by Slytherin!

"You're talking like this, as if I don't exist!" Tonks said coldly.

The little snakes smiled awkwardly but politely, and Hufflepuff's Seeker was still at their table.

After happily finishing their breakfast, Moriarty and Tonks parted ways. The little snakes had potions class in the morning, and they had already learned how to prepare amnesia potions.

It is worth mentioning that whether it is the potion to cure boils or the potion to forget, Lilith, who is determined to surpass Moriarty, is still outdone by Moriarty, while Percy continues to be his third child.

At noon, since there were no classes in the afternoon or evening, Moriarty collected a few flying beetles and went to the Room of Requirement.

"I need a room where I can store my stuff."

Moriarty thought silently. The Room of Requirement, which was originally used to practice magic spells, had turned into a utility room. The floor was full of tattered debris and filled with dust.

Moriarty came here to find the broken disappearing cabinet. The other disappearing cabinet is in Bojinbok's shop. Through the two disappearing cabinets, he can go to Knockturn Alley to hunt the dark wizard.

"The disappearing cabinet is coming!" Moriarty pulled out the sleigh wand, and in order to hide his identity, he put away the Slytherin staff.

A black cabinet with luxurious hollow carvings flew out from a pile of old books with a bang!

It was about two meters long and one meter wide. Moriarty didn't want the disappearing cabinet to fall on him, so he hurriedly used the levitating spell to make the disappearing cabinet land to the ground.

"Restore it as before! Repair it as before! Repair it as before!"

Moriarty remembered that it took Draco Malfoy half a semester to repair the Vanishing Cabinet in sixth grade, but he obviously didn't need that long. He used twenty years of magic to release three repair spells and repaired it in a matter of seconds.

This disappearing cabinet.

To be on the safe side, Moriarty opened the cabinet door, put the collected beetles in, closed the cabinet door, waited for a minute, and then opened the cabinet door again.

There are two missing beetles, but they are all alive. At the same time, two small horned insects appeared in Bojinbok's store. I hope they will not touch the black magic products there.

Moriarty knew that the vanishing cabinet had been repaired, so he took out the transformation potion he had refined during the Christmas vacation from the system space, took a sip, and countless faces flashed through his mind, all of which were people he had seen.

Moriarty chose an ordinary-looking person, an ordinary person he saw at the station. He was a new face to the dark wizard in Knockturn Alley and would definitely not arouse suspicion.

After a while, Moriarty transformed into a middle-aged man with a slightly haggard face. He took out a black cloak from his bag and put it on, wearing a hood, walked into the disappearing cabinet, and closed the cabinet door from the inside.
