Hogwarts: I am the White Lord

"Professor, aren't we supporting campus entrepreneurship this year? Hannah is one of them. She wants to develop some magical delicacies."

"It's just that she's in some trouble now, so I'd like you to go and help her out."

After hearing what Neville said, Sebastian immediately recalled the time when Hannah Abbott approached him to apply for campus entrepreneurship.

The shy girl asked to rent the Hogwarts kitchen as soon as she opened her mouth. She was the only student group that wanted to rent a kitchen.

For this purpose, Sebastian went to the kitchen and told the house-elves to prepare a separate stove for Hannah.

In addition, he also instructed the elves not to disturb Hannah when she was working, and only provide help when she needed it.

However, since the beginning of the school year, Sebastian has not seen the little girl at the students' campus stalls.

I thought Hannah Abbott had given up. After all, there were many students who applied to start their own businesses, but they always encountered various problems during the process, and not many of them persisted until now.

It turned out that the little girl was in trouble, so she didn't set up the stall.

It's a good mentality to be able to persist until now and not give up.

"What about Miss Abbott? Why didn't she come?" Sebastian asked gently.

Hearing this, Neville scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Professor, Hannah is practicing in the kitchen right now. I came to see you secretly by myself, and Hannah doesn't know."

"I just can't bear to see her in such a difficult situation."

"Oh - is that so." Sebastian drew out his words and smiled teasingly at Neville.

"Professor, Hannah once asked Professor Sprout, but Professor Sprout said that she was best at herbology and didn't know much about the preparation of magical delicacies."

Neville continued, "I asked around and heard from the house elves that you used to go to the kitchen to cook delicious food, so I think you can definitely help."

In Neville's eyes, Sebastian is the epitome of omnipotence, and such a small matter would definitely not be difficult for him.

When it comes to magical delicacies, the first thing that comes to Sebastian's mind is the various delicious magical candies.

For example, there is the Chocolate Frog that can jump around like a real frog, the Fizzy Bee Candy that can make your feet float off the ground for a short time with just a lick, the Blowing Treasure bubble gum that can be blown into the air and stay there for days without bursting, and the Bibi Multi-Flavor Beans that allow people to taste different flavors.

By the way, the various joke candies developed by Fred and George in the original work, such as canary cookies, fat tongue toffee, nosebleed nougat, etc., are also a kind of magical food.

Now, Sebastian understood why Neville and Hannah were together.

Making magical delicacies is inseparable from various magical herbs. As an assistant teacher of the Herbology class, Neville's knowledge of herbs far exceeds that of most of his peers.

The two of them often attended classes together and communicated with each other. In addition, Neville was now confident, sunny and enthusiastic, so it was only natural for Hannah Abbott to ask Neville for help.

But then again, magic related to food is relatively obscure in the magic world. If you don't conduct specialized research, it's difficult to make any achievements in this area.

After all, no magic school offers any relevant courses.

To be honest, Sebastian hadn't done any research on this.

But if the little girl just wanted to make some simple things like fizzy bees and fat tongue taffy, he could still give her some pointers with his knowledge of alchemy and potions.

Thinking of this, Sebastian stood up and said to Neville, "What are you waiting for? Let's go help your friend together."

He hung a sign on the door of his office saying "I'm Out for Business" and then took Neville all the way down to the castle.

While walking on the road, Sebastian chatted casually: "Neville, have you gained some weight recently?"

He remembered clearly that when practicing the Patronus Charm last year, Neville worked very hard and lost a lot of weight, looking completely different from when he was in the first and second grades.

When school started this year, he was still a tall and thin boy. But after two months, his face became round again.

Hearing Sebastian's question, Neville blushed rarely and began to stammer.

"Maybe...I've been eating a lot lately, so I gained some weight."

From this little expression and the hesitant words, Sebastian knew there was something fishy going on without having to guess.

Most of the food that Hannah Abbott had prepared was eaten by Neville.

Instead of continuing to tease Neville, he smiled and led him downstairs.

Neville breathed a sigh of relief. He could still sense the mockery in the professor's smile.

However, he couldn't tell how he felt about Hannah.

I can only say that it is very comfortable and relaxing to be with each other, and that each other has great cooking skills and the food they make is very delicious.

Going down all the way, the two soon arrived at the Hogwarts kitchen.

As soon as he entered the door, Sebastian found Hermione chatting with the house-elf Winky, and Ron following closely beside her.

In front of a stove not far away, Hannah Abbott was concentrating on cooking.

Sebastian greeted Hermione and Ron first, and then walked towards Hannah Abbott with Neville.

A row of neatly arranged glass bottles was placed on the table, and the colorful juices in the bottles reflected rainbow-like light under the illumination of the magic lamps.

Hannah stood in front of the stove, holding the handle of the small copper pot tightly with one hand and slowly stirring the bubbling liquid inside with the other.

It was a pot of thick honey syrup, with a sweet aroma spreading around, with a hint of citrus and peach fragrance.

Her eyes were extremely focused, as if the only thing in the world was this pot of syrup, and she didn't notice the arrival of Sebastian and Neville at all.

Neville took a step forward and wanted to remind Hannah, but before he could open his mouth, he was stopped by Sebastian.

Sebastian put a finger in front of his mouth, signaling Neville not to make any sound.

After all, the little girl was so focused that Sebastian couldn't bear to disturb her.

In addition, he also wanted to see what the problem was with the little girl and why she had never been successful.

"Almost there," Hannah whispered to herself, quickly took the glass bottle beside her, took out a spoonful of crystal powder, and sprinkled it into the pot.

The moment the powder enters the pot, the syrup makes a soft buzzing sound, as if countless tiny notes are dancing in it.

Sebastian nodded. Those were the powders of the sound grass. It seemed that the little girl wanted to make a candy related to sound.

Once the syrup in the pot had calmed down, Hannah carefully spooned the syrup into a row of hemispherical molds, making sure every drop was perfectly filled.

Then she took a thin wand and tapped it lightly on each mold while chanting a spell.

The syrup cooled down and turned into crystal clear candies.

Hannah picked up a candy and put it in her mouth, and soon her brows furrowed.

"Alas... failed again."
