Hogwarts, where the stars shine

There is nothing more healing than hot pot in winter. It not only warms the heart, but also warms the stomach.

Even Lilia, who was hesitant at the beginning, her eyes lit up after she tasted the first bite of simple hot pot.

Although they have only known each other for more than two months, Mesa can swear to heaven that tonight's hot pot meal will be the meal that Lilia has least concerned about her image since they met.

Mesa only took a few bites of this simple Hogwarts hot pot meal, thought about the past for a moment, and then put down her chopsticks.

The remaining meat slices and vegetables in the crucible naturally went into Lilia's belly.In order to make herself eat more happily, Lilia also tied up her long hair.

Looking at Lilia devouring her food and the silly way she gasped when she was burned by the food, Mesa smiled unconsciously.It is very satisfying to have your favorite food recognized by others.

If we improve the recipe of the base, we can bring Sean Hart with us. I hope that Lilia and Sean will not fight and pull each other's hair over the meat.

While Lilia was enjoying her meal, Mesa took out the extra iced drink she had prepared.

Whether it's winter or summer, if you don't have a cold drink when eating hot pot, you always feel like something is missing.Chilled apple juice for Lilia, and a bottle of butterbeer for Mesa herself.

Again, the house elf is too enthusiastic.Unable to resist the warm welcome, Mesa reluctantly accepted the drink and returned home with a full load.

Butterbeer is a drink with very low alcohol content and costs 2 Silver Sickles per bottle.

Apart from house elves, the only people who can get themselves drunk with butterbeer are those who have extremely low alcohol tolerance.

Of course, if you choose to drink from a tanker, a yacht, a trailer, etc., even butterbeer will be intoxicating.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Mesa took a sip.

It has a smooth mouthfeel and a creamy texture. The strong aroma of butter neutralizes the bitterness of the beer, and the beer suppresses the richness of the butter with its refreshing aroma.It's like a buttery hard candy that's not too greasy, and it's so comforting.

Before Mesa could savor the foamy butterbeer, he was greeted by Lilia's slightly dissatisfied look.For some reason, Lilia seems to dislike people who drink.

"It's just butterbeer." Mesa shook the bottle in his hand, "If this makes me drunk, I'll sit at the same table as the dog next time we eat."

"Isn't butterbeer wine?" Lilia asked, "As long as it's wine, you can't be greedy. What's more, you are still a little kid, so you shouldn't drink. There are many people who get into trouble and get into trouble because of drinking. "

Lilia looked very thoughtful. If she could put down the small bowl in her hand, she might be more convincing.

"What I drink is not wine, but warm rivers." Mesa began to ramble smoothly, "Time is like the wind, hiding both sweetness and spiciness in the rivers. And the reason why I love drinking..."

This nonsense made Lilia look shocked.Is there such an explanation for drinking?

“It’s because I want to hold my glass and go down the river,” Mesa continued. “Until I meet someone, all these wine labels are my flags of surrender to her.”

Girls' feelings are always poetry, like roses after the rain, like beating notes.Mesa's nonsense successfully made the girl named Lilia blush with embarrassment.

Even when Mesa's flexed fingers slowly approached her smooth forehead, Lilia seemed unaware.

With a loud bang, the girl's dream came to an abrupt end.The blushing cheeks disappeared, replaced by a red forehead and clenched fists.

After drinking and eating, and having some fun, Mesa and Lilia remembered the crisis surrounding Slytherin and started talking about business.

Lilia rubbed her forehead and said resentfully: "When I came, I saw them still having a meeting in the common room. They were discussing ways to catch the murderer."

Mesa nodded. When he returned from the kitchen packed with bags, he also saw the students in the meeting.Their attitude is worthy of recognition, but there is really no need for them to make such a big show of it.

"Then what do you think?" Lilia asked with concern, "Do you want our help?"

This us, of course, refers to her and Shawn Hart.The girl was eager to try, without any fear in her heart. The extraordinary life she wanted was finally here.

Just the first time something happened, seven Slytherin students were admitted to the school hospital, which was absolutely a big scene.Maybe in a few days, the school hospital will be renamed the Slytherin common room.

"I don't have any ideas, it's a mess," Mesa said honestly, not pretending to have anything in mind.

In the afternoon, Mesa went to the school hospital and wanted to confirm the conditions of the seven players.But before Mesa could get close, he was driven away by Madam Pomfrey with excuses, and all he saw were the curtains surrounding the bed.

After dinner in the auditorium, Mesa also went to the dormitories of these people.

Although no one stopped Mesa or used deceitful methods to hold him back, the dormitory scene had been completely destroyed, and even if the murderer had left anything behind, it had long since been nowhere to be found.

I don't know whether the other person is a man or a woman, tall, short, fat and thin, and what his real purpose is. I have no clue.

The only reference value was the disgracefully won Quidditch match.All seven players got sick after that dirty game.

Lilia rolled herself into a ball, resting her chin on her knees, feeling a little depressed.

She said dullly: "Then what are your plans next? Don't forget, you are still making a bet with the group of people outside!"

Everyone was adding fuel to the fire, and Lilia was really worried about Mesa.If Mesa loses this bet, his situation in the academy will become even worse.

"To be honest, I don't have any plan." Mesa said frankly, "I have no way to start. What I have to do now is to wait and wait for the other party to take action against Slytherin for the second time."

Mesa needed to make sure that the opponent was attacking Slytherin in a targeted manner, rather than attacking indiscriminately.

This is very important. After confirming that the other party's target is Slytherin, you can then find out the other party's motives, so as to find him out behind the scenes.

The method is to be a bit stupid and passive, just waiting for the opponent to increase the number of actions and find out the opponent's flaws.But who makes Mesa Black not Sherlock Holmes?

The group of people in the common room are very active, but their activeness will not help them catch the murderer as soon as possible. Instead, it will force the other party to hide deeper and act more carefully.

This positivity can protect Slytherin students to a certain extent.

"Then what should we do? If he doesn't take action, can we just keep waiting?"

From the beginning to the end, Lilia never doubted Mesa or identified Mesa as the perpetrator.This kind of thought did not exist in Lilia's mind at all.

Lilia's little mind only focused on helping Mesa win the bet and how to catch the person targeting Slytherin.

It's the "wait" tactic in Mesa that makes people very depressed. After all, not everyone likes fishing and can sit on the fishing platform.

As for whether more Slytherins would be harmed during the waiting period, neither Mesa nor Lilia had considered this issue.Compassion does not control soldiers. As long as the goal can be achieved perfectly, the sacrifice is worth it.

Besides, whether they can be injured or not has nothing to do with Mesa!

Being a human being means that you love me and I love you, it’s such a simple thing.These people don't regard Mesa as one of their own, so why should Mesa think about them? Isn't that a bitch!

As long as there is still a possibility of winning the chess game, no matter how many pieces on the chess board are destroyed, the person playing chess will not feel bad.

Mesa is not yet a qualified chess player, but he has initially developed a will to play.

"No." Mesa said firmly, "If the other party dares to cause trouble on Dumbledore's territory, he will not stop here. No matter what his ultimate goal is, the seven sick students are just the beginning. .”

The other party must have a deeper purpose hidden, and targeting Slytherin House should be just a way for him to reach his goal.
