The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

The Hogwarts kitchen is actually located under the auditorium, and there are four long tables placed inside, facing the long tables of the four major colleges in the auditorium.

But in fact, these long tables are not used by house elves to eat, but four 'teleportation tracks' that have been casted with special magic.

When it's time to eat, the house elves will put the food on the long table, and then send it to the Great Hall through the long table in the kitchen.

The place where the house elves actually cook is actually on the edge of the wall not far from the four long tables.

The walls there are embedded with various facilities such as ovens, fire pits, pools, and workbenches.

When it's time to work, the hundreds of house elves stationed at Hogwarts will work together to make reasonable use of the equipment in the kitchen and their own magic to cook.

Link was once lucky enough to witness a scene of house elves cooking. The scene reminded Link of the circus sideshow he had seen.

Unfortunately, it was already past dinner time, so when Link and Emily entered the kitchen with a large group of Skarls, there were only a few house elves left washing dishes.

Of course, they said they were washing dishes, but in reality they were more like chatting.

Because as long as they wave their fingers, the tableware and rags will dive into the foamy water and start cleaning.

Since there was no house elf in the family, Emily was very curious about everything in the Hogwarts kitchen. As soon as she came in, she kept looking around, especially at the dishwashing that the house elves were doing. Very interested in work.

When these house elves saw Link and others, they were stunned for a moment, then screamed and disappeared into a ball of smoke.

This made Emily frown.

Link explained:

"What house elves pursue is to complete all their work silently and without being discovered, so most of them are very afraid of life. They must have been scared by us just now. But don't worry, someone will come out soon. to receive us.”

As soon as Link finished speaking, a house elf with a cane came out of the corner.

His face was covered with wrinkles and he looked very old. He was wearing a pillowcase with the Hogwarts shield emblem on it, which was also stained with oil.

"Young Hufflepuff, I'm calling the pot lid. Didn't you make it in time for dinner? It doesn't matter, we can turn on the fire again and cook a few servings for you."

The old house elf said with a trembling pot lid, but with a sincere smile on his face.

As soon as he said this, many house elves came out from around the kitchen.

They quickly restarted the oven and boiler, and started working again amid bursts of laughter.

"Ah! Old sir, we don't have to..."

Upon seeing this, Emily immediately wanted to stop her, but Link stretched out his hand to stop her.

"Working in the minds of house elves is everything. If you stop them now, I bet that instead of thanking you, they will feel lost."

Link explained softly in Emily's ear, then smiled and nodded at the old elf, "I'll trouble you, old gentleman."

"Oh ho ho! You're welcome, little Hufflepuff, this is what we should do!"

Hearing this, the pot lid chuckled, and the smile on his face became a little brighter. With those wrinkles, it looked like a blooming chrysanthemum.

When Emily saw this, she decisively shut her mouth and decided not to speak anymore.

She knew so little about house elves that talking nonsense would probably be detrimental.

Link, on the other hand, pursued the victory and said:

"Mr. Pot Lid, we are actually here tonight to look for the lost pet of one of my classmates. My hound told me that it is probably hiding here. Can we search it?"

"Of course! Of course! We never turn away a Hufflepuff!"

The pot lid said excitedly.

Hearing this, Link smiled slightly, waved his arms, and the Sgars around him who were already hungry and thirsty rushed out.

They jumped up and down in the kitchen, sniffing this and that, and from time to time they stole the ingredients prepared by the house elves, making the whole kitchen a mess.

However, all the house elves had no intention of stopping them, and some would even feed the Sgars their freshly prepared dishes, and then cook them again themselves.

And the Sgars did not disappoint Link.

Soon all the Sgars gathered around a cupboard on the east side of the kitchen and screamed "woof, woof" at Link.

Link and Emily immediately leaned over, and sure enough they saw a big, gray rat that had been forced under the cupboard by a group of Sgars and was trembling.

"Relax your strength! Wingardium Leviosa!"

After the two spells went on, the mouse instantly lost its ability to resist and floated in front of Link.

Looking at the other mouse, which was obviously missing its left ring finger, Link nodded with satisfaction.

Many people, including Dumbledore, are curious that since Black has the ability to escape from prison without anyone noticing even if he loses his wand, why would he choose to escape now after having been in Azkaban for more than ten years? Woolen cloth?

You know, the environment in Azkaban is simply hell!

And the real answer is now in Link's hand.

The mouse Scabbers is actually Peter Pettigrew, a good friend of Black and James Mutt.

After betraying the Potters, he had a big fight with Black, and finally faked his own death at the cost of cutting off one of his fingers.

Since then, due to the fall of Voldemort, Peter Pettigrew has been dormant in the Weasley family for more than ten years, acting as their little pet.

This is also the reason why Banban, a mouse, can live for more than ten years. He is originally a human being.

The reason why Black chose this time to escape from prison was because he saw a report in the Daily Prophet about the Weasley family winning a grand prize. It published a family photo of the Weasley family, including the mouse Scabbers.

Sirius Black comes out as an Avenger this time.

He wants to send Peter Pettigrew to the place he should have gone to more than ten years ago - hell!

Therefore, as long as this mouse is controlled, Blake's half-mad Avenger is basically under control.

Thinking this, Link smiled and stuffed the mouse Scabbers, or rather Peter Pettigrew, into the brown paper bag together with the dirty handkerchief.

At this time, the pot lid that followed him started holding his head and screaming.

Rats were found in the kitchen, which is simply a sign of their poor hygiene!
