Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 29: Marmite
Near noon, Hogwarts Castle, which had been silent for a night, was reborn with new life.
Albert occasionally encounters other students in the hallways or hallways. It can only be said that staying in bed is the nature of most people, especially on weekends. Most people prefer to sleep a little longer when they don’t need to get up early.
It was still raining lightly outside the castle, most of the students would stay in the auditorium chatting, and a few unlucky ones who didn't finish their homework in time were busy copying their summer homework.
On their way to explore the castle, the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan couldn't hold on and were the first to slip away.
However, Albert still spent the morning walking around the huge castle and taking a lot of interesting photos with his camera. After walking around and returning to the auditorium, he felt a dull pain in his calf.
The results of this trip were quite good. With his memory, Albert drew a rough map of the castle.
Although I heard from other people that every Friday, the position of some stairs in Hogwarts Castle will change, but that is next Friday, Albert doesn't take it to heart, and will naturally be at that time. There is a workaround.
It is worth mentioning that the progress of the mission to explore Hogwarts Castle has reached 26.7%.
"Why are you the only one, how many of your friends?" Angelina and another girl walked towards this side, sat on the chair opposite Albert, and said hello to Albert.
"While walking around the castle, I slipped away halfway." Albert picked up a slice of bread from the plate, he was going to make a sandwich for himself, "Those three guys probably found something interesting, Pass me the blueberry jam over there, thank you."
"How is your castle map? Can you lend me a look?" Angelina pushed the bottle of blueberry jam on her right hand and pointed to the parchment on Albert's left hand. .
"I still think that I should go around the castle by myself. This is one of the joys of a new life." Albert handed the parchment to the girl opposite and grabbed the bottle of blueberry jam.
"What's that?" Arya moved her head closer, staring at the simple sketch, frowning slightly. It was a little difficult for her to see, but she could also see the markings of some secret passages and classrooms, where the stairs needed to be crossed.
"By the way, this is our class schedule." Albert copied two more class schedules and handed them to the two of them.
"What kind of magic is that?" Angelina asked curiously.
"Copying spell, you can turn one item into two." Arya, who was born into a wizard family, recognized the spell Albert used at a glance.
Not all wizarding families follow a stocking policy like Weasleys. Arya has been educated as a good wizard since she was a child, starting from a higher level than most students.
"Very useful little trick, isn't it?" Albert winked at the two of them and continued, "With it, you don't need to take notes, just ask someone to "borrow" a copy."
Arya looked at Albert with weird eyes, always feeling that this guy's thinking logic was different from others.
"Can you get me a copy? That way I don't have to worry about not finding a spot in the classroom."
"Aren't you worried that the map is wrong?" Albert asked rhetorically.
"Of course I'll check it out myself," Arya said as a matter of course.
"Do you want it?" Albert looked at Angelina.
"Thank you," Angelina said with a smile.
The Hogwarts Castle is indeed quite large, and freshmen are easy to get lost. With Albert's map, at least they know where to go.
Being late on the first day of school is not a good sign.
"By the way, I remember you seem to be from a Muggle family." Arya put away the map and asked, "How can you master so many spells? I dare say that most freshmen understand spells. Not as much as you."
"I learned it when I practiced magic spells before school started. Most of the spells are quite simple." Albert spread blueberry jam on the bread slices and took a big bite. Although the taste was not bad, he ate it all day. These things are really unbearable.
"Simple?" The two looked at each other and suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure.
After getting their own wand, most new students will try to use the magic in the book. Angelina and Arya are no exception. They have both learned some simple magic, but they are not as light as Albert said. The tone is as easy as learning magic and eating a piece of bread.
After destroying the slice of blueberry jam, Albert made a sandwich for himself.
British lunches are always unsatisfactory, and Hogwarts is no exception. Bread and potatoes are always the staple food here.
This lunch includes sliced bread, boiled potatoes, fresh green salad, and salted ham. Of course, there is also a large pot of milk tea, or pumpkin juice.
After Albert finished the ham sandwich, he added two more potatoes with the skin on to his plate. After a morning of wandering around the castle, his stomach was already starving.
In other words, during the meal time, there was no sign of the three of them, and they didn't know where to go.
"I really miss rice and pasta." Albert muttered softly, and continued to bury his head in eliminating the potatoes with the skin on the plate.
Potatoes are one of the staple foods of the British ~IndoMTL.com~ He has eaten them almost every day these years. People in this country can even use potatoes to make a hundred dishes without repetition.
Although potatoes are not bad to eat, it is a bit unbearable to eat them.
"The pasta is delicious." Angelina echoed, "I've eaten it several times, and it tastes nostalgic."
"British food is always disappointing, and the variety is too good. The chefs here never seriously study how to cook." Albert poured himself a cup of milk tea, took a sip, and complained, "I remember eating a plate of whole fish baked in a sea salt herb crust a while back."
The two looked at each other and listened with interest to Albert's rant about all kinds of weird British foods, such as his father's favorite french fries sandwiches, and the family's only grandmother's favorite Marmite...
Albert still remembers the first time he tasted Marmite, and it was... hell, and the taste was truly unforgettable.
If I had to describe it, it would be a strong soy sauce mixed with various body odors.
Since then, Albert has stayed away from Marmite.
"If any of you are interested, I will send her a bottle for Christmas at Christmas."
"Cough cough." Alia lost her appetite immediately, "No, thank you, I still want to eat some normal food, so that I won't get nauseated when I see jam later."
After drinking the milk tea, the lunch is over.
Albert sat at the dining table and looked at the photos he had taken earlier, there were knights' armor, castle scenery, a certain portrait, or a certain exaggerated sculpture... These photos reveal a corner of Hogwarts .
It's just that Angelina actually wanted to complain when she saw Albert choosing photos. You are not a student at all, but a tourist who came to visit Hogwarts Castle.
