HP trickle down

A large pot of goulash with potatoes was placed on the table, and a lot of the soup was spilled out due to the rough actions.

The steaming hot dishes, with a hint of aroma, got into the noses of everyone present.

Burt really didn't expect that Severus really cooked him a dish, beef stew with potatoes, which looked very delicious.The knives are very good, but the dishes made by these chefs are not as good-looking.

With a big smile on his face, Bert found chopsticks and took a bite himself.The beef is tender but not rotten, and has a chewy texture; the potatoes melt in the mouth, but the shape is still very three-dimensional, and it has not been destroyed by stirring.The taste is neither salty nor bland, just right for the taste, and does not cover up the original taste of the ingredients... This is a work that can almost be scored full marks.

What a surprise!

The last time they made something to eat together was when he was 11 years old, and he couldn't make a cake at all.Unexpectedly, this time on a whim, Severus really gave him a surprise.

"Very powerful." Bert praised so much.

Severus ignored him, took the chopsticks that Bert handed over, and tasted it himself.It's really good, it looks like it's played beyond the level.

"Oh, boy, you have a great talent for cooking." The chef watched the whole process and admired Severus very much.

"Thanks for the compliment." Severus was nonchalant about it, he didn't need others to praise his talent for cooking.He was just responding to this guy Burt's provocation.Don't tell him that Bert was just looking forward to a bright future, and in Severus' view, that remark was just to make fun of him for not knowing how to cook before.

"Do you want to learn how to cook with me?" Mr. Chef narrowed his eyes and smiled kindly.

Burt didn't wait for Severus to answer, he refused first: "We appreciate Mr. Chef's kindness, but we have other things to do, so we don't have time to accept your instruction."

"That's such a pity." The chef looked at Severus with regret.

Burt said, "I'm really sorry." But he got a packing box in his hand, packed all the goulash with potatoes made by Severus, and said goodbye to these people after packing.

"Why are you packing this?" Severus wondered what Bert was thinking about this simple dish still being packaged.

"Hehe, it's so delicious, I can't waste it." Burt pretended not to understand what Severus meant for him to throw away the leftovers, and went to the next place with an undiminished smile.

"How long are you going to play?" Severus was a bit bitter about the fact that he cooked and Burt didn't.

Burt looked around, seeing a lot of traffic.London is really bustling.Their restaurant is an authentic Chinese restaurant, so it is actually opened in Chinatown.

In Chinatown, most of the buildings are based on ancient Chinese architecture.It looks very old-fashioned, and the romantic poetry and painting of China may really be seen here.

"This place..." Severus saw that the people around him were almost all black-haired and black-eyed, and realized that he was not on an ordinary British road.

"Chinatown." Bert named the place for Severus.

Severus also realized that most of the people passing by here were immigrant Chinese.During the summer vacation, Burt asked me to read some Chinese works and admire the wisdom of the ancient Chinese.In modern times, it doesn't seem to have a good reputation.

"A very enjoyable nation," Burt smiled, remembering Jinyinsha at that time, "Poetry and painting nation, unlimited romance. However, if they are too soft, they will be bullied."

Thinking of Jinyinsha who was filled with righteous indignation at that time, Burt's smile became a little more lonely.

"Sev, now that the Great Depression is almost over, look, the people shopping are smiling a lot." Burt shook off his inexplicable emotions to prevent himself from falling into a pitiful situation.

Following Bert's gaze, Severus looked at the passers-by on the street.He really didn't want to be in such a hurry or anxious as he had seen before.Thinking of the letter his mother sent him, it also said that the market was getting better and better.But what does this have to do with him?

"Look, everyone is in such a good mood, Sever, you have to smile too." Burt raised his smiling face, making Severus dazzled.

"What does it have to do with me?" Severus didn't feel like smiling.It's not like he hasn't laughed before, sneer, fake smile... They're all smiles too, what's the difference?What did it matter to him that they laughed?

Bert no longer forced himself: "Severus, don't make yourself too tired." Severus's smile is really rare, for a year, he can count all the sincere smiles he sees with one hand .Back when Stephanie was around, Fanny occasionally laughed out of embarrassment.

"Where are you going?" Severus didn't like the feeling of wandering around aimlessly, it was better to ask clearly.

"A pavilion," Burt said.

The sky became more and more gloomy, and after noon, it really started to rain lightly.

The light rain fell from the hazy sky, but it was gentle and did not wet the pedestrians frantically.But the number of people on the road is also decreasing.

By the time Bert took Severus to the place he said, both of them had small white specks on their hair and their clothes were covered in moisture.

"A pavilion." Severus looked at the name engraved on the stone tablet, and was a little speechless for a moment.He really didn't think that Burt was talking about the place name of this place.

"Severus, you sit here, I'm going to get something." Bert pushed Severus down on a stone bench near the water and sat down.Then go away.

Severus had no idea what Bert was thinking, and could only sit there with the packed box he'd handed him.

The pavilion is located on the artificial lake, amidst the mist and mist, the lotus leaves in the lake flutter with the wind.From time to time, one or two koi carps popped their heads on the surface of the lake, then wagged their tails and sank into the water.

The rain fell into the embrace of the lake, causing ripples.

Severus sat alone in the pavilion, listening to the sound of the rain falling.But he was not irritable in his heart, and he didn't seem to be agitated while waiting for Bert.

"Sev!" Bert was carrying big and small bags in his hands, and Severus saw him standing awkwardly in the rain, his body was mostly wet, but he still smiled brightly at him.He really wanted to say that Burt was a brainless idiot.And with such an idiotic smile, I wonder if Bert is a Slytherin.

But the corners of Severus' mouth betrayed him.

Burt had just entered the pavilion, and Severus' smile made him forget to respond.The smile was weak, and it was quickly put away, but Bert couldn't forget such a smile because it was so rare.

Maybe, go back and paint a picture.

Bert thought, regained his senses, and put away the things he was carrying.

"Your Mathematics is really taught by the Hippogriff." Severus suppressed his smile, seeing the pile of things on the ground, he couldn't help mocking.

"Sev, it's rare to come out, and I'll take you to the barbecue." Bert quickly set up the clay stove, threw an appropriate amount of charcoal, installed the iron frame, and a different grill was completed.There is a small door under the stove, and you can add more charcoal when you run out.

"These dishes can only be used after being processed, so I came back a bit late." Burt took out the packed dishes, walked over to pick up the goulash that Severus put aside, which happened to be in the beef box It is metal and can be set aside to heat.

"Sev, I brought special seasoning just for today. But you gave me a surprise first, so let's grill it together." Burt originally planned to grill it for Severus himself, but look Severus made him goulash, it would be better if Severus came with him.

Severus sat on the ponytail in Burt's lane, facing Burt.Wash your hands with clean water like a spring, take the tongs from Bert, and grill the meat with a calm demeanor.

Burt smiled slightly, and grilled with Severus, slowly brushing the seasonings on the side of the food.

Soon, the food was roasted with the smell of the sauce, and the aroma came out.Sprinkle cumin on it, and the venison in Bert's hand is finished roasting.Handed it to Severus, beckoning him to take it and eat it.

"Sev, try it."

Severus took a bite, mouth full of flavor.The meat is very tender, the aroma of cumin, and the taste of his so-called secret seasoning, the taste is very good.

"How?" Bert couldn't help asking.Severus had already finished eating, and only saw his eyes light up, Bert didn't know if he was delusional.

Severus swallowed the meat and said, "Not bad."

Not bad just like it.Of course Bert also knew what Severus meant, and according to Severus's language habits, that was what he meant.

In the misty rain, the wind blows the lotus, but the pavilion is warm, and the faint fragrance wafts out from the pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, there is a world of warmth.

Bringing the Slytherins back to Hogwarts, Bert found that Severus was tired, so he dismissed Severus's idea of ​​continuing to read, and asked him to wash up, and Bert washed himself.

The two of them were in bed, so Severus wouldn't panic at seeing him still reading.

"Good night, Sev." Bert said softly.

Severus pursed his lips, shrunk into the bed, and reluctantly said after a while, "Good night."

Burt smiled when he heard Severus's response, closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
