Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 176 Curry Rice

Lean was silent for a moment, he didn't expect Lockhart to have such a dark history.But when I thought about it again, I thought it was normal. I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet.

What's more, everyone knows Lockhart's strength.

"Professor Lockhart is probably feeling very uncomfortable right now. Did he die in the Forbidden Forest, live in St. Mungo's, or be imprisoned in Azkaban?"

Andra moved the snakeskin bag on her back up and asked with a smile.

"Azkaban."

"Ha, I knew it." Andra said, "The mysterious man cursed the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. To be honest, I think he is quite brainless."

"When I was in the second year, the current Auror taught our Defense Against the Dark Arts class. I heard that Professor Dumbledore specially wrote to invite him to teach. Unfortunately, he died in the Forbidden Forest in the end."

As Andra walked, she chatted with Lean about his school days.

While listening, Lean was also looking at Andra.However, Andra is very popular in this small town. After walking at least 600 meters, three or four people have already greeted him.

"Senior seems to be very popular here?"

After two more aunts greeted Andra, Lian couldn't help asking.

"Yeah, when I first came here, there was a small gang, about five or six people. They did all kinds of evil all day long and were idle. Later, I influenced them to become hardworking and willing to work."

"The local residents were grateful to me when I got rid of one of their evils and turned the gangsters back. Geez, it's not a big deal."

Although what Andra said was not a big deal, it can be seen from the crazy upturned corners of his mouth and the slightly straight back that he is quite proud at the moment.

As for the "probation" in Andra's mouth, let's modify the memory to understand?
But in this case, Lean is also worth saying "well done".

"Won't the Ministry of Magic pursue it?"

Lean asked, this is an attack on Muggles, which has violated the "International Wizarding Secrecy Act".

"Two Aurors came, but I ran out and said they were here to retaliate against me. After hearing this, the neighbors all rushed up. There are too many people, and Aurors are not good at blatantly violating the secrecy law. If I hadn't pulled it in the end, maybe everyone would have been beaten to death."

"The last two Aurors were imprisoned. I don't know what happened after that. They should have been released on bail. But since then, the Ministry of Magic hasn't come to me again, so let's just forget about it. Well, anyway, I am also killing harm for the people."

As Andra said, she frowned triumphantly at Rin.

"awesome."

After thinking for a long time, Li En finally choked out three words.

"Yes, I also think I'm amazing. Don't look at these people as fierce, but in fact they are very good. Ah, here we are."

As Andra's voice fell, Lean stood in front of a colorful building.

Literally, colorful.

The walls of the building are covered with all kinds of strange patterns and characters painted with watercolors. Under the sunlight, the whole building looks so dazzling.

"This used to be a gathering place for gangsters. After I influenced them, I lived here."

Andra said with a smile, and then pushed open the concealed iron door.

"Basically no residents come here to steal anything, so I don't bother to close the door. By the way, I pack everything in my pockets."

Andra placed the snakeskin bag securely in the corner, and then took out pots, pans and other things from her trouser pocket, and Lean was taken aback for a while.

"Do you have all of them?"

"Yeah, in case the Ministry of Magic comes to the door again one day, it's easy to run away."

"···"

"Sit down as you please, and the curry will be ready soon."

After finishing speaking, Andra began to cook curry, no longer caring about Rin.

Lien wandered around the building casually, where the domineering gangsters of the past could be vaguely seen here - one wall was covered with dead letters written in red paint.

The first floor looks like a facade, mostly rooms for storing sundries and dining rooms.

The second floor looked like a gangster's room, but it looked more like a homeless man's room, and there was a stench in it. Rian could only look at the door and was unwilling to stay any longer.

The third floor looks much more luxurious, with a large meeting room, a storage room, and a gym.There's also a nice bedroom that looks like it used to belong to the gang boss, but it's probably now Andra's room.

For the rest of the rooms, Lean just glanced briefly at the door, but the gym made him feel a little strange.

"Zell, it's lunch time."

Andra, who had finished cooking the curry, came up and saw Lien standing in front of a wall in the gym looking carefully, so she walked over and patted Lian on the shoulder.

"Do you think there is something hidden here? I think so too, but I can't open it."

Andra put her hands on Ryan's shoulders and said with a smile.

"I tried the unlocking spell, but I couldn't open the electronic lock."

With that said, Andra opened a secret door from the wall, revealing the keyboard and screen inside.

"So magic is such an ancient thing, there are ways to defend it."

Andra shook her hand, a little disdainful, he was Muggle-born.In Hogwarts, a place where wizards are superior to others, although the professors are very kind, there is always a certain arrogance when talking about Muggles.

"Just try it, it's a big deal to sound the alarm."

Andra said with a smile, it seems that he has tried many times.

"Forget it, let's eat first, I have been craving the senior's curry for a long time."

After Ryan tried twice, he gave up.

"Hahaha, I guarantee you are satisfied. Let me tell you, I used to go to the Forbidden Forest every day for night tours in order to cook. I guarantee that Hagrid is not as familiar with the Forbidden Forest as I am..."

Andra started to pat Ryan on the shoulder and brag again.

As soon as Lien came to the first floor, he smelled a fragrance.

"Is it delicious?" Andra said, she filled a plate of rice, poured a spoonful of curry on top of the rice, and handed it to Lien.

"By the way, here are some barbecue and hot sauce that I left over from yesterday. The hospitality is not good, please enjoy."

"You're too polite, senior." Lien said, taking a sip, "Huh? It's really good."

If you have to say it, it can only be said to be a little bit stronger than pudding.Lean has never tried Michelin-starred chef's craft, but that's probably the case.

"It's actually very simple. I added some potions to it for seasoning. If you need it, I'll give you the recipe. The house elves in Hogwarts have these things. You can ask them if you need them."
