A day at Hogwarts

After the game on the third day started, Lily saw that there was no one in the seat beside her, so she asked Seamus, "Where is Charles, isn't he here?"

Seamus was holding a lunch basket, turned his head and replied, "Charles bought a fish that is heavier than me, and he will make it delicious today."

Seeing that his team performed very well in the first and second games, Charles will definitely continue to lead today, and the race is over halfway, so he decided to cook a big meal tonight to maintain morale and win the championship in one go.

Lily thought of the pudding made of fire ash snake eggs sent by Charles last night. It tasted very unique, and she couldn't help but licked her lips with her tongue.

She asked where Charles was, and then searched all the way there.

There is a small yard where Professor Bablin lives. When Lily came here, she saw that Charles was moving a bed into the yard.

She was puzzled at first, but when she walked into the yard, she was taken aback by the fish on the ground: "This fish weighs 200 pounds, right?"

When Charles saw that it was Lily, he replied: "It's a Nile perch, it's about this weight when you remove the guts."

To the east of Moon Mountain is Lake Victoria. The Nile perch in the lake is an invasive species and is a top predator in the water. It has caused a lot of damage to the local fish. It grows very large and has good meat quality. The local people like to use it to make smoked fish.

It’s just that it’s not easy to smoke such a big fish, so Charles moved the bed out of the empty room, removed the bed board, tied wires to use it as a grill, and let the whole fish lie on it.

Lily thought it would be fun to grill such a big fish, so she came to help.

She waved her wand, and the bundle of wires got up like a snake and wove a net on the bed frame.

"It's easy," Lily said triumphantly. "On the farm, that's how we make fences."

Charles gave her a thumbs up.

Lily is very capable, helping Charles to salt the fish, digging holes in the ground to put charcoal, grinding the spices into powder, and sealing the entire roasting bed with paper skins.

These materials were bought by Charles in the capital of Uganda with great difficulty. At this time, there are two Charles on the earth, in order to celebrate tonight.

During this period, Lily told Charles about the topic of today's competition.

"Visceral rot?" Charles was stunned for a moment. He had heard the old man talk about this disease before.

"Yeah." Lily said, "My father used to have this problem. He drank too much whiskey and almost lost his stomach."

"At that time, he beat my mother when he was drunk. Later, the two divorced, and my sister and I separated."

"Now he doesn't drink anymore, but he found a nasty woman back from somewhere. I really want to shoot her in the head."

Charles nodded slightly.

This kind of disease is not a difficult and miscellaneous disease, and it is quite difficult to cure people out of the problem, as long as they don't be overtaken by Kodos Torrez's group of guys who love to drink and widen the gap too much.

The charcoal used to smoke the fish was quickly lit, and all the spice powders were put in the pot to heat over the fire, and thick smoke billowed out after a while.

The large box made of cardboard has only a half-hand-sized ventilation hole on the ground at one end and the top at the other end, and the fragrant smoke fills the entire space.

During the period, Charles prepared mashed potatoes and other vegetables and juices, and cooked a pot of spaghetti bolognese with tomato sauce for Lily to have lunch.

After lunch Charles started to make the Scotch eggs mentioned by Joyce last night as a supper tonight.

This kind of dim sum is made by boiling eggs first, and then the egg whites are solidified, then wrapped with minced meat stuffing with spices such as salt and black pepper, and then wrapped with a layer of bread crumbs, then deep-fried in hot oil to the surface Golden yellow, the meat filling is cooked through, and the egg yolk inside is still a bit runny.

In the afternoon, after the fish had been smoked, the appearance of the fish turned golden yellow. Charles went to the cafeteria to find a plate for roasted whole lamb before putting it in.

Finding two dinner plates, Charles cut the head and tail of the fish, divided the body into two halves, "biu" a bone-flesh separation spell, and the fish bones flew out as if they could apparate themselves. Half of them were eaten by themselves. Give away half.

"Try it." Charles put a piece of fish on a plate and handed it to Lily.

After Lily took the plate, she picked up a fork and cut off a piece of fish meat. Both sides of the meat were smoked golden, but the middle was snow white. She nodded repeatedly after eating.

Charles triumphantly brought the smoked fish and other dinners back to his residence, arranged them carefully in the hall on the first floor, and asked Ruby to get some flowers and put them in vases on the table, and then waited for everyone to return.

The ruby ​​guy also ran behind his little desk to get ready, and Charles would bring his share.

At about six o'clock, the door rang, and Charles went to greet him with a smile.

However, he saw the sparkle in the eyes of Cedric who came in first, and the others were also dejected, and their hearts thumped.

"I'm back." He saw that something was wrong, but he still smiled slightly. "It's time for dinner."

Only a few people responded feebly.

The meal was very dull, whether it was Eleanor's five team members, or Seamus and the audience, they all lowered their heads and ate quietly.

Even Ruby felt strange, and kept looking sideways at these young people.

After taking two mouthfuls, Joyce wiped her tears and went upstairs back to the room. With her taking the lead, the others left after eating something hastily. In the end, the remaining smoked fish was cheap.

Charles asks Seamus, and the results surprise him.

In today's competition, Hogwarts actually only scored 79 points, with a total of 275 points at the bottom.

The Magic Institute got a full score in this round, but the scores in the first two rounds were too few, and it was only 1 point ahead of the bottom two.

Charles thought that Kodos Torrez would get a high score, but their score was not high, only 92 points, ranking second with a total score of 282 points.

Wagardou scored 98 points, and it seems that only time points were deducted. He reached the top with a total score of 285 points, 10 points higher than Hogwarts.

Seamus couldn't tell why.

Charles told him to eat more, and went to Eleanor.

Eleanor lay in bed, more spirited than her eyes tonight's smoked fish.

Charles came with some snacks and drinks, put them on the table, and as soon as he sat down on the edge of the bed, Eleanor said, "Come and let me pinch... ouch!"

Charles preemptively pinched her nose and asked her, "What's the matter with today's game?"

"Alas..." Eleanor lay on the bed and sighed, "No one expected such a thing to happen."

Then she moved her body, let Charles lie down and use her belly as a pillow, and then said slowly: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, we have a problem with this kind of thing."
