The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

When he saw the gloves, Tom sighed. This familiar movement, familiar style...at first glance, it's Dumbledore! Tom really didn't expect that Dumbledore would do so many tricks every time he appeared.

"Tom, what is this?" Hermione looked at the gloves with curiosity on her face.

"It's just Peeves' prank."

"Peeves?"

"Yes, Peeves in human form with a long beard." Tom felt that in terms of "skin", Dumbledore and Peeves were quite similar. But Dumbledore played it safe, just like dancing in front of the explosive crystal. Peeves's skin was real, and he was completely chaotic evil.

After recognizing the owner of the glove, Tom did not turn around and leave. Instead, he followed the glove's guidance and walked into the empty classroom with Hermione.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Tom saw Professor Dumbledore sitting in a daze on the window seat in the back row. The open window brought in gusts of breeze, which made his hair a little messy. When the classroom door was pushed open, it formed a convection with the window and rolled up a piece of parchment on Dumbledore's desk.

"The back seat is by the window, Wang's hometown." Seeing this scene, Tom couldn't help but complain. Fortunately, Dumbledore stretched out his wand and used a flying spell to grab the parchment back, and also changed the painting style from the Japanese comic school to the fantasy style.

"You came?"

Tom:…

"I thought you wouldn't come."

Tom:...?

"Just now, an organization was born in the wizarding world, the International Wizards' Guild (IWU)..."

Dumbledore introduced to Tom the results of his summer vacation: the International Guild of Wizards, which is an organization used to deal with magical events. It is equivalent to the international Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters of the Ministry of Magic, except that the events it handles are more dangerous. .

The operation method is also very simple. After passing the assessment of the Ministry of Magic of their country, wizards from various countries can go to the guild to register, and then they can receive tasks issued by the Ministry of Magic of each country, assist the local Ministry of Magic to solve difficult problems, and receive commissions.

"The main reason is that there have been too many magical accidents recently. If this continues, the magic world will be exposed sooner or later." Dumbledore said helplessly.

Tom frowned, he didn't understand why such a thing happened.

"According to the confession of the Purifiers, the organization seemed to have gained some mysterious power six years ago and suddenly began to revive. Since the year before last, the power of the Purifiers has begun to expand rapidly. Now the power of the Purifiers has exceeded that of any other organization in the world. As the Ministry of Magic of a country, we must unite and cut off their tentacles extending around the world first."

Dumbledore said this, took out two badges from his robe and placed them on the table. The badge is in the shape of a six-pointed star with the letter D in the middle.

"I have the authority to allow you two to bypass the Ministry of Magic's review and become D-class members of the guild - you can refuse."

Tom looked at the two badges on the table without making a decision without permission. He glanced at Hermione and found that she looked eager to try.

"It seems you don't object?" Tom was very pleased. Fortunately, Hermione didn't object to this matter. He didn't want Hermione to distort her will and join this guild because of him.

"I hope I can do something for the magical world, and if something goes wrong in the magical world, we can't escape it, can we?"

"The nest was overturned, how could the eggs be spared?" Tom laughed, took the badge, and pinned it on Hermione's chest. Tom has a strong intention to join this guild, because what Dumbledore just said about the rise of the Purifiers is very interesting.

Six years ago and the year before last, one was when I was awakening to the system, and the other was when I was enrolling in school. Tom's intuition told him that the reason for the rise of the Purifiers might have something to do with him. He needs to investigate this mysterious organization. So what other way is more convenient than joining the International Wizards Guild?

Dumbledore smiled as he watched the two of them put badges on each other. He took out two crystal balls from his arms and handed them to Tom and Hermione. "Nico refined this for the guild. Put it under your pillow before going to bed, and you can go to the International Wizards Guild - remember to bind it with a drop of blood before using it. The same goes for the badge."

Tom played with the crystal ball and felt a bit shocked: This is the real alchemy!

[Dream Crystal Ball - Child Ball (Three Stars): When you fall into a dream, the whole world will be open to you.

Description: People holding this crystal ball will share the same dream. They can use the water of life and death or a baseball bat to fall asleep quickly. There are also a series of functions to be developed.

Note: This is a magical creation that connects the owner's dreams. It is a product of extremely advanced alchemy. Only alchemist masters who have mastered the supreme secrets of alchemy can make it. The grade of its cue ball is difficult to measure. 】

The mass-produced cue ball alone has three stars. The cue ball should be the top five-star alchemy product. Only Nico Flamel, who can refine the magic stone, can refine it.

"I won't disturb you two. Go to class quickly. If I remember correctly, you seem to be going to Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration?" Dumbledore saw Tom and Hermione accept the badge and Crystal Ball had no intention of continuing the conversation. He stood up from his chair and left the classroom.

With his departure, the series of tasks that Tom had previously received were triggered again.

[Dumbledore's Test (2) mission starts: Use the dream crystal ball to go to the International Wizards Guild]

After the first class in the morning, Tom will have to teach Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration with the Gryffindor students. However, the students who had just experienced the Divination class - all Gryffindor students had signed up for the Divination class - were obviously not thinking about the class. Even if Professor McGonagall was standing on the podium, they could not focus their attention. .

Harry Potter was like a spotlight, and his classmates were secretly looking at him.

The content of this class is Animagus, which is Professor McGonagall's specialty. She was writing the preliminary preparations for the Animagus transformation on the blackboard. At this moment, Tom raised his hand.

"What's wrong? Student Yodel?" Professor McGonagall pointed at him and motioned for him to get up and speak.

Tom stood up and said, "Professor, people can transform into animals, but can some animals with human intelligence learn Animagus? For example, I have a very smart cat, can it learn Animagus?" Transform into a human being?”

"An interesting question," Professor McGonagall showed a smile. "There are indeed many creatures in the wizarding world that are as intelligent as humans: centaurs, goblins, house elves, fish-men...etc., but Animag... Transformation is a unique skill of wizards."

Fried chicken experience (1)

First of all, we have to make it clear that the key to fried chicken is fried chicken. So I've never liked air fryers. I feel like the fried chicken made that way doesn't have the taste of grease.

So be sure to use more oil – more oil is key. When using oil, you must choose oil with less smoke. I don’t recommend olive oil. It’s good if there is oil specially used for making fried food sold in supermarkets: it’s good quality and cheap, you can buy 5L for 4 euros

Then there is the choice of meat parts. During the quarantine, we tried a lot of fried food: chicken wings, chicken legs, chicken breasts, pork belly, plum pork, tenderloin, fish steaks, squid rings, meat fillings...etc.

In my opinion, chicken is best suited to frying. We usually buy three large boxes (1500g) of chicken wings, and then I split them into two halves at the center and base of the wings - discarding the wing tips. The same goes for chicken legs. I will remove the meat from the legs and the bones will not be wasted. I will bake them in flour and make fried chicken racks. I can eat them while watching TV dramas, which gives it a unique flavor.

The key to fried chicken is preparation.
