Unbehaved Hufflepuff

Neither Lumi nor Sprout expected the party to be so popular.

Look at Professor Sprout.

As soon as she gets out of class, many students from different grades come to her and ask if they can attend Lumi's party.

At first she thought it was a joke on the children.

But then something went wrong.

Who dares to believe that except for Hufflepuff, almost everyone from the remaining three colleges came to ask her.

She knew that Lumi's pastry shop had been open for six years and was famous in Quanying Kingdom.

But she didn't expect it to be so popular.

At the beginning, she would allow the little lions, eagles, and snakes to participate.

It's in the Hufflepuff common room anyway.

But now Hufflepuff's warm and comfortable common room cannot accommodate the entire school.

Not even a larger classroom can do it.

She really wanted to take back her previous words and didn't want to keep Lumi too busy, but she was afraid that her unnecessary actions would make Lumi's popularity fall to the bottom.

But when Lumi stood in front of her, his mood suddenly calmed down.

"Invite students from other colleges to your party? Of course, no problem."

"But our lounge is obviously not enough. You have to know that no less than a hundred people have come to see me before you."

"Can you take on such a huge amount of work?"

Professor Sprout's words are not an exaggeration.

One hundred people is just a guarantee.

You must know that Muggle wizards account for the largest proportion in Hogwarts. They must have heard of Guriel Pastry Shop, and it is normal for them to be enthusiastic about Lumi's cakes.

But since the magic cake shop Lumi opened in Diagon Alley entered the pure-blood family, the group of Slytherin snakes also looked forward to Lumi's party.

You know, Lumi's guarantee to them is three cakes a day.

Every time some families with a large number of family members receive a cake, it is a war that tests the family's status.

Parents who dote on their children will give up their own bites of food, but such people are always in the minority.

This group of wizards had never seen Lumi's miraculous food magic, and some wizards who specialized in food magic were also troubled by this.

It can be said that except for the Malfoy family, which truly masters technology, no other family can perfectly replicate Lumi's cake.

This shows how precious the cake is and how expensive it is in Diagon Alley.

By the way, Diagon Alley's production has increased, and the chef responsible for making cakes has become quite skilled, selling as many as three hundred cakes every day.

But the price hasn't gone up, it's still one galleone a piece.

So when those little snakes who didn't live a very good life at home, when they heard that they could eat the little cakes they dreamed of in school, they were as excited as the little wizards of Muggle origin.

"I think I still need some assistants if I have experience in making cakes."

When Lumi heard such a huge number, he immediately knew that this thing couldn't be done by one person.

He had already begun planning a letter to Lucius.

There are now about a hundred people, and almost all Hufflepuffs are dispatched. Now, even if Lumi works non-stop until the party starts, it is impossible to complete this work.

If every little wizard who comes to the party can only eat one or half a piece, then Lumi's party will not exist.

If it can't satisfy every diner, it will be an absolute storm for Gulier Pastry Shop.

Who knows if this group of wizards will go to the Muggle world to cause trouble if they are dissatisfied.

Without anything else, the Forgetting Charm alone would keep his poor clerks forgetting the number of cakes they made.

So Lumi must do his best.

"I think you need a lot of assistants."

Professor Sprout clapped his hands, and the door to the office was opened.

The visitor was a short house elf.

He had big eyes, pointed ears, and wore clothes made of flour sacks.

"This is the head of the kitchen at Hogwarts. You can call him Reed."

"His house elves will be your right-hand men."

"I think I should go to Dumbledore and ask him to lend us the Great Hall for one night. I don't want Hufflepuff's common room to become a sardine can."

After speaking, Sprout smiled at Lumi and handed over the office space to them.

Reed bowed in the direction Sprout left. After Sprout closed the door, he turned his attention to Lumi.

"I remember you, great wizard."

Reed put his hands on his chest and bowed, "Last year your flour was very good. We just mixed it with other flours. Almost all the Hufflepuff wizards came. It's a pity that we didn't stay." How much flour."

These words reminded Lumi of when he cast a spell on a bag of flour last year.

Dumbledore caught him just after he cast the food magic.

It was also from that day that Lumi started his crash course in black magic.

Thinking about it now, Lumi also felt a little embarrassed.

"I think I may need to prepare close to a thousand mini cakes."

Since Lumi didn't expect anyone to help him, he didn't write any recipes in his hurry.

"As you wish, great wizard."

Reed stood there, waiting for Lumi's next order.

"If you have to prepare it yourself, how long will it take to complete?"

"Three hours."

Hearing this answer, Lumi's eyes widened.

"You can finish nearly a thousand small cakes in three hours?"

This made Lumi, who only sold a hundred cakes a day, feel powerless.

"So be it, Reed."

Lumi quickly thought of a solution that was not a solution, "We can start making preparations after Professor Sprout gets the permission. I will give you the recipe tonight. You just need to make it according to the above requirements." That’s it.”

"In terms of ingredients, I go to the kitchen to prepare them after every dinner. There are still three days until the party on Saturday night, so there should be no problem with the ingredients."

"The next step is the layout issue..."

Lumi thought about the starry sky ceiling in the auditorium that remained unchanged for thousands of years and the candles that were always worrying about dripping wax, and he had an immature idea in his mind.

He and Reed hatched a plan in Sprout's office and managed to hand over some of the messy work to Reed.

When Lumi wanted to express his gratitude with Galleons, Reed stopped him loudly.

According to Reed, they would be proud to serve the wizard.

And when the wizard hands them the money, they feel humiliated.

That’s what everyone said, and Lumi can’t forcefully give money to others.

You cannot force your own values ​​​​on the other person.

Finally, after Sprout obtained permission to use the auditorium, Lumi publicly explained the change of location the next day.

"I have permission to use the auditorium and anyone can come after six o'clock on Saturday night."

When talking about anyone, Lumi's eyes looked towards the Ravenclaw table intentionally or unintentionally.
