Chapter 70 - Night Snacking

His mind was full of thoughts, and Coven actually did not know how he returned to the dormitory.

He was a little impatient now and wanted to immediately go to Professor Snape to discuss and ask if his thoughts could be realized. But it was too late now, and those were only his own imagination, and he did not know if he could turn them into reality.

The top priority was to get in touch with alchemy first. After all, if he wanted to make various props, he had to use alchemy knowledge.

He kept telling himself that he couldn’t be in a hurry now and had to calm down.

It wasn’t easy for Coven to calm down.

…….

At ten o’clock, the two roommates finally fell asleep. Coven quietly got up, put on his clothes, and left the dormitory. He didn’t go to the Room of Requirement but went to the first floor of the castle and continued to walk down to the basement floor.

As mentioned before, Coven was getting along very well with all the deans, so he got a way to enter School’s kitchen from Professor Sprout.

Dinner was missed because he forgot the time because he was reading. At this time, Coven was hungry, so he decided to see the kitchen of Hogwarts and find something to eat for himself.

Walking on the corridor to Hufflepuff common room, Coven held his wand and lit it up with a ‘flash charm’. He looked around to check the murals on both sides of the wall.

Not long after, he finally found the target. It was a picture of many fruits in a ‘light silver bowl’.

Coven stopped in front of the portrait. According to Professor Sprout’s method, he scratched the body of the pear in the picture.

As Coven moved, the pear in the portrait seemed to suddenly come to life. Her body trembled, and she let out a stifled laugh. Then the pear suddenly turned into a green doorknob…

Coven grabbed the handle and pulled it out. A flash of the door was opened.

Behind the door was a huge and darkroom. Before Coven could continue to observe carefully, a huge aroma of food instantly drowned him. He took a deep breath and smelled the aroma of the food. Then, just as Coven was about to enter the kitchen, a rustling sound suddenly sounded.

Then, several dim oil lamps suddenly lit up in the huge room…

Under the illumination of the oil lamps, Coven found dozens of ugly creatures.

House-elves!

All the house-elves did not make a sound and just stared at Coven with two huge protruding eyeballs.

Although he had read the introduction of the ‘house elf’ in the book, such a supernatural scene still made Coven unable to help but raise his guard, and all the muscles in his body tightened.

“Young master, do you have any instructions?”

At this time, a voice sounded from the middle of a group of house-elves who looked like walking corpses.

Coven followed the voice and found an elf with gray skin and green protruding eyeballs. There was only a house-elf with an ill-fitting vest on his body.

“Uh… Excuse me.” Coven still did not let down his guard and asked tentatively, “I haven’t had dinner today. Is there any remaining food here?”

“Oh my God”

A scream broke the silence in the kitchen, which startled Coven.

Another grey-skinned house-elf said sharply, “It’s so pitiful! There is still a young master who hasn’t eaten dinner! Everyone, get up and work hard! Prepare a sumptuous meal for the young master!”

The screams of the well-trained elf were immediately echoed. All the domestic elves who had been like walking corpses instantly became spirited and turned around to run to the stove noisily.

Coven stood at the door and could not help but open his mouth in shock when he saw the scene in front of him. Although he had learned about the temperament of the domestic elf from books, he had seen it with his own eyes.

Coven was still shocked.

“Young master, please come with Lili.”

The elf who was closest to Coven did not leave to prepare food but greeted Coven with a face full of enthusiasm.

“Uh… Okay.” Coven glanced at the elves who cooperated with each other and prepared food for him, then responded and followed the elf named Lili into the kitchen.

Being guided and served by Lili to sit at a table, Coven could not help but lower his head and ask Lili, “Did I disturb you?”

“No, no, no, no, you did not disturb!” Lili shook her head repeatedly, and a pair of huge bat ears kept slapping her cheeks, making a series of ‘bang’ sounds.

“Okay, okay.” Seeing this, Coven quickly comforted her, afraid that the other party would shake her head violently and twist her neck off.

“Does the little young master have any food that he really wants to eat?”

The little elf Lili stopped shaking her head and continued to ask Coven in a confused and confused manner.

“Well… it’s best if it’s meat, lamb chops, steak… is that okay?” Coven felt like he was ordering food in the restaurant and couldn’t help but ask softly.

“Of course, young master!” Lili nodded repeatedly, then turned back and shouted to the busy domestic elves, “Young Master wants to eat lamb chops and steak!”

“Oh, that’s right.” Lili turned back after shouting. She looked up at Coven and continued to ask, “Young Master, what kind of staple food do you want to eat? Shall we make you a delicious big cake?”

“No, no, no.” Coven quickly waved his hand and refused, “It’s too late. I don’t want to trouble you. I don’t want the staple food. Just give me a big cup of milk tea… That would be enough.”

Hearing this, the little elf Lili was a little disappointed. Her pair of huge bat ears suddenly seemed to have lost their strength and drooped down.

Seeing this, Coven was a little speechless. He could only continue to comfort her, “There is no need for it today. Next time, next time, I will come early and then taste the cake you made. Is that okay?”

The little elf, Lili, heard this and instantly regained her vitality. She said happily, “Of course! Of course! Young Master, please wait a moment! Lili will go prepare milk tea for you!”

“Don’t call me young master.” This group of elves who always gave people the greatest respect, Coven had a good impression of them, so he smiled and said softly, “My name is Coven Quinn. You can call me by my name.”

“How can that be!” Lili hurriedly shook her head. “That would be disrespectful to the young master!”

“Don’t, if you call me young master, I feel a little awkward.”

Lili hesitated for a moment, then stubbornly said, “Then Lili will address you as Mr. Quinn in the future.”

“Alright, alright.” Coven gave up on persuading her and let it be.

After more than ten minutes, the food that Coven ordered was brought up by the elves with excitement. However, when Coven saw the food, he couldn’t help but laugh because two large basins of lamb chops were sent up, one basin of ten whole lamb ribs.

There were five big slices of steak, and the milk teacup was almost bigger than his head.

However, Coven didn’t say much. Anyway, he could digest the food in an instant. If he ate freely, the food wouldn’t be able to last him.

Surrounded by many house-elves, Coven suppressed his somewhat awkward mood and grabbed a lamb chop to eat…
