Chapter 116 Wonderful Kitchen

Mike and Franklin no longer hesitated and headed straight towards the Hogwarts kitchen. Along the way, Franklin seemed to notice that Mike was in a bad mood and didn't say much more to Mike.

The Hogwarts kitchen is located next to the Hufflepuff lounge, not far from the greenhouse. The two walked quickly and approached the kitchen soon.

"Why are you here in Hufflepuff?" Suddenly a voice came.

Mike and Franklin looked back and saw Cedric and two junior Hufflepuff students looking at them with puzzled faces.

"We're going to the kitchen." Mike replied with a smile.

"I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. I went out on patrol with the management team that day and didn't arrive in time. Fortunately, you took action." Cedric said sincerely, "What do you want to do in the kitchen? There. I know him well, maybe I can help."

Mike said calmly: "Um, no need. I just think the Hufflepuff butter chicken at noon is delicious, and I want to ask the house elves how they make it."

"Ha! That's Mrs. Hufflepuff's masterpiece!" Cedric snapped his fingers and said excitedly, "Well, I'll go with you, just in time to introduce you to the Hogwarts kitchen."

Mike and Franklin looked at each other, and each noticed the helplessness in the other's eyes.

"No, really." Mike said every word, "We won't bother you with this little matter."

Cedric is not a person with a low emotional intelligence. After thinking for a moment, he realized that he had made a mistake and said quickly: "Okay, then I won't go with you. When I have the opportunity, I will take you to Hufflepah." Take a trip around the Qi Lounge.”

Mike decisively agreed, and then dismissed the enthusiastic Cedric.

Watching Cedric disappear through the entrance of Hufflepuff House, Mac led Franklin into the Hogwarts kitchen.

The kitchen in Hogwarts is very large, but the equipment is very crude. Not to mention electric ovens and dishwashers, even the most basic stoves are wood-fired. It is hard to imagine that the house elves cooked so many dishes in such an "ancient" kitchen.

When Mike and Franklin came to the kitchen, the house elves were preparing dinner. Today's dinner should be roast chicken and sausages. Many house elves wearing pillowcases with the Hogwarts logo worked together, and some of their fingers were like music. The conductor waved like this, and the whole live chicken was quickly killed, bled, and feathered. Some specialize in controlling the heat, and some use their fingers to direct the processed broilers to be baked in a stone kiln similar to an original oven. The whole kitchen is filled with aroma.

A house elf seemed to have discovered Mike and Franklin. He screamed and disappeared with a "chirp!"

Then, as if a chain reaction was triggered, all the house elves in the Hogwarts kitchen looked at Mike and Franklin in horror, and then they all disappeared.

Mike was speechless, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and shouted to the empty kitchen: "We don't mean any harm, we just want to ask you for a favor."

"Dear wizard, what do you need?"

A voice suddenly sounded from beside Mike. Mike was startled. He finally calmed down his violent heartbeat and turned to look. I saw a well-proportioned house elf with a pair of big pointed ears and about 40 centimeters tall looking at Mike and Mike nervously. There was still a smile on his small face, but because of the fact I was too nervous, so I was a little deformed.

"Um, I guess..."

Before Mike could finish speaking, the house elf looked intense, with disbelief written all over his face, and screamed: "Wow! You are Lord Mike! The one who participated in the snake removal operation and was named and commended by the principal. Lord Mike!"

As soon as he said this, the house elves that had disappeared emerged from all corners of the kitchen and looked at Mike curiously.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Mike. If you hadn't gotten rid of the basilisk, we still wouldn't be able to work well until now." The house elf choked and said, "I didn't even dare to work well during those days. It’s too painful to remember!”

The other elves in the kitchen echoed, and soon the kitchen was filled with cries.

Mike reacted immediately and quickly comforted the house elves. It was obviously the first time Franklin had seen a house elf in person, and he had not yet adjusted. He really didn't understand why he felt so uncomfortable when he couldn't work well.

After learning Mike's identity, Mike and Franklin's treatment immediately improved. The house elves enthusiastically invited the two of them to sit at a huge table, and then one exquisite dish after another was served.

Looking at the busy house elves, Mike said to the house elf 'Hanger' who had been following them from the beginning: "You are so enthusiastic that it makes me a little embarrassed."

When the clothes hanger heard this, big tears immediately flowed out of his big eyes, and he said hurriedly: "We are really useless, we actually made Mr. Mike embarrassed, damn it!" As he said this, he was about to slap himself.

Mike quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, no! I mean, your hospitality is really great, and the food you cook is also very delicious!"

Only then did the clothes hanger turn from sadness to joy.

Seeing the rapid 360-degree change in Hanger's attitude, Mike once again wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Hanger, I think house elves are the best magical creatures in the world, so I have always wanted one of my own. House elves, I wonder if I can take one of you away?"

Hanger was so excited when he heard Mike praising them, but he looked embarrassed when he heard the second half of Mike's words.

"Lord Mike, I'm afraid not." Hanger said, "We all signed a contract with Lord Hufflepuff and we must serve Hogwarts for generations to come."

Mike looked disappointed when he heard this, but he was happy in his heart. He knew what the hanger said, and he had no intention of taking away the house elf here.

"If that's the case, forget it." Mike said, "Then can I ask you for a favor? Professor Lockhart will be here to discuss something with me in a while. You may not know that Professor Lockhart has something to say. He has the habit of attacking when we don't agree with him. If he makes any extraordinary moves later, can you help me stop him?"

Hanger's heart almost broke when he saw the disappointed look on Mike's face. As a house elf, it was the most serious crime to fail to satisfy his master.

At this time, when I heard Mike make a request again, there was no reason not to agree, so he happily agreed.

Seeing the hanger agreeing without hesitation, a smile appeared on Mike's face. Now it's stable. If Lockhart is really the heir, then I can definitely give him a surprise today!
