In the tower, Allen and Luna had just returned when they smelled the rich aroma of cooked beef. Attracted by the aroma, they walked into the kitchen.
The dining room and kitchen were brightly lit. The Gubrai Immortal Fire and the Eternal Flame emitted a bright but not dazzling light. The steaming hot half-finished dishes in the kitchen were already enticing in color. The silver and glassware containing the food shone brightly, echoing the light above their heads.
"The beef is almost done. Take it out and put it aside first." Morgan-le-feil's voice was a little excited compared to before.
"No need to wash the pot. Pour the beef kidney in and stir fry it for a while, then add the onions and cook for three minutes." Helga's voice followed.
Allen walked over curiously. Penello, who was still on vacation and had not gone to work, had her short hair tucked behind her ears with a shiny diamond hairpin. She was wearing an apron with a bright yellow duckling painted on it, which did not match her style at all. She was using her magic wand to command the beef kidney in the pot to stir fry continuously. In another pot, the viscous gravy was bubbling, and the rising steam made Penello's face rosy.
Morgan-le-feil and Helga, who had walked out of the tavern in the portrait, were giving instructions to the female culinary apprentice in front of them. Maggie and Twinkle were also squatting on the cupboard in the corner, taking note of things in a small notebook. They had to know their master's preferences when she was not cooking.
"Young Master, Miss Lovgood!" With a snap, the house elf Klitscher appeared in front of Allen. He bowed deeply to Allen and Luna, and explained with an ashamed expression, "Klitscher also knows how to make beef kidney pie. The mistress said that she wanted to cook it herself and did not need Old Klitscher to cook it. Klitscher is not a qualified house elf!"
At this time, Klitscher, who had been in Harris's house for a few days, was completely different from what he had seen in Sirius's house. He was forced to take a bath every day under orders. He was no longer dirty. The fluffy white fur in his two bat-like big ears was fluffy and white. He was no longer dressed with only a dirty rag around his waist. He was almost naked.
In order to avoid the rule that if the master gave clothes to the house elf, he was giving freedom to the house elf. Morgan-le-feil ordered him to wear a small tuxedo that was actually specially made for him. This made him look more like a butler and more energetic.
After Klitscher was done with his questioning, he glanced unhappily at Maggie and Twinkle, who were still watching Penello cook. He complained to Allen in a voice that he thought no one could hear, "How unruly and uncultured. As a house elf, not only did he show up in front of so many people, he didn't even come to greet the master when he saw him. This is outrageous!"
Klitscher's whisper was so noisy that Maggie and Twinkle hurriedly teleported over to greet him. Maggie then grabbed Klitscher with her prosthetic glove and bowed apologetically, "I'm sorry, Young Master. Maggie hasn't taught Klitscher to adapt to the rules of the Harris Family. His previous family values have affected his cognition too deeply."
"It's okay. Klitscher has been in Blake's house for too long." Allen rubbed Maggie's head, then looked at Klitscher and pretended to threaten, "Remember to drink the elixir on time. Don't keep thinking about hanging your head on the wall."
Luna threw the empty coke bottle to Maggie, and Twinkle snatched it first. They bowed again, and the house elves returned to their previous cabinets.
"You came back just in time. I made a little too much today... Daisy, Emily, and Hibiscus Chinensis have no talent or interest in cooking, so they can't inherit Helga's and my skills. Penello made us a pot of mutton soup before, and I realized that she's very talented. She also controlled the heat of this beef kidney pie very well. " Morgan-le-feil had already turned her attention to them. She waited for Allen and the house elves to finish their conversation before she spoke. Although Luna and Hermione also had no talent in cooking, Morgan-le-feil was not in a position to speak out.
Luna stood on tiptoe, looked at the cabinets, and sniffed hard. "Penello is much better at cooking than I am."
Penello snorted coldly in her heart when she saw Luna and the sparkling Coke bottle. However, when she heard Allen's mother's words, Penello, who felt that she was better at cooking than the other girls, raised her head, flicked her hair, and smiled. Receiving Morgan-le-feil's approval made Penello's spirits soar. She raised her head and smiled at Allen, then raised her chin. Her cooking skills were much better than this crazy girl's. Morgan-le-feil had chosen her to inherit her cooking skills. Thinking of this, Penello smiled at Allen again, then lowered her head and focused on the puff pastry in front of her.
Morgan-le-feil waved her wand and directed some ingredients to fly to the chopping board. The knife automatically flew over and quickly cut the vegetables. "Since you're back, don't go back to school for dinner. Later, I'll ask Hermione to bring Emily and Helena back and make some of your favorite dishes. Emily's taste is similar to yours. She's never liked porcupine mince since she was young, so just don't touch it later. Usually, when you two are at home, I don't make it. I didn't know you two would come back today, so I taught Penello, Owen, and Bo.
Albert likes to eat it for breakfast … "
"Thank you, mom …" Allen felt warm when he saw his family's efforts in these small matters. He had never paid attention to these small details before.
Hearing that, Luna turned her attention to the porcupine mince. The mince was still mixed with blood. Penello had already molded it into the shape of a small porcupine. She cut the onion into strips and made them into spikes on the back of the porcupine. "Helga, I think you made something similar for me before? I remember you sprinkled black pepper and salt on bread and ate it … "
"Loina, just tell me what you want to eat …" Helga glanced at Luna with a smile. He knew she was hungry. "Although you can't eat the dishes I made myself, I can make Morgan-le-feil and Penello. Sometimes, I even wonder if there's something wrong with the sorting hat. It actually didn't assign them to Hufflepuff …"
"Helga, actually, when I was sorting the school, the sorting hat did consider that …" Morgan-le-feil smiled and looked at Luna. "Luna, what do you want to eat? I can use this opportunity to learn a new recipe from Helga. "
"The chin meat of the Big Mouth Rainbow Fish ~" Luna recalled a memory from a thousand years ago and opened her mouth with wide eyes.
"Loina, don't be crazy! The Big Mouth Rainbow Ball Fish was almost extinct in our time! "Helga said grumpily in the portrait.
"Then the chin meat of the Big Mouth Rainbow Fish ~" Luna didn't look like she had any regrets and obediently changed the menu.
Penello, who couldn't say anything at this time, was pleased to find that Hufflepuff had said what she wanted to say. She raised an eyebrow at Luna and then turned to Allen. "Allen, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"The thick meat soup Helga made ~ Penello, thank you for your hard work ~" Allen smiled at the fat witch in the portrait. "But I have to go downstairs to get something …"
"Young master, what do you want? Order Creech to go get it! Creech is willing to serve you, young master. " A bullfrog-like voice rang out as Kreacher expressed his loyalty. Maggie felt a headache coming on and tried to pull him back, but failed.
"Creech, you can stay here and learn to cook. You can't go to the storage area." Allen waved his hand and turned to go upstairs with Luna.
Hearing Allen's words, no one continued to ask. Penello's hand that was rolling the pastry paused and she lowered her head. She was happy because of Allen's mother's approval, but now she felt a sense of defeat. She could participate less and less in this kind of business. Like the other Harris family members, her progress in reading the Nether Scrolls was slow. It would take a lot of time to turn the obscure knowledge into her own strength.
Creech, who had been introduced to the tower by Maggie, silently retreated to the side. He was still shocked. In his mind, Blake was the noblest, oldest, and most powerful family in the magic world. But after coming to Family Harris, the little elf's understanding was refreshed. Her new master's family was not only powerful in the magic world, but also not a nouveau riche family. The things they plundered from the Blake family only took up a small part of the Mage Tower.
Allen pressed his hand on the sensory imprint on his body as he went downstairs. After notifying Hermione, he contacted his father, Owen. "Father, I just got a message from Lucius. Tom has sent Death Eaters back to England. He plans to carry out a terrorist attack in the Muggle Society. And unlike last time, they plan to fight a guerrilla war with the Ministry of Magic."
A few minutes after the message was sent, Owen's voice sounded in Allen's mind. "The Bulgarian Ministry of Magic has created some trouble. I'll deal with it and go home with Lunn." Hearing that the Muggle Society was under attack, Owen was not too worried.
