Chapter 287 The Stubborn Tonks
"What does that have to do with me? Just like the Black family, the Lestrange family, you Slytherins are all virtuous. I still remember that my mother used to be insulted by her sister Bella and despised my father. They're Muggle wizards, don't you guys look down on these Muggle-related wizards the most?" Tonks spoke quite bluntly, and it was obvious that she hated pure-blood families.
"Then you have to thank me, I sent the Lestrange family into Azkaban, and don't you know, I am a Muggle-born wizard, and your prejudice is actually different from that of many pure-blood wizards." There is no difference in the prejudice you bring." Anduin smiled lightly, it was the first time he had bragged about this to others.
"What you said is true?" Tonks looked at the other party suspiciously, and then curled his lips, "Then why is your academy so different? Everyone is as serious as a high-ranking nobleman. comfortable."
"They were not like this a year ago, and I don't think self-discipline and courtesy represent nobility, I just ask them to treat myself according to the standard." Anduin squeezed the cat in his hand, and smiled slightly .
"You mean, you made them like this?" Tonks turned his head and glanced at the people training beside him, wondering why these guys maintained that strange posture, "I don't believe it, they Why listen to you so?"
"Because they have no choice..." Anduin chuckled, then followed Tonks' gaze to look at the few people who were standing on the stake, and then made a beep and blew his whistle loudly.
The few people who heard the signal quickly put away their stances, regardless of the soreness in their bodies, and rushed to Anduin in a line at the first time.
"Chief!" The 6 people headed by Jane stood in a row. Although their faces were covered with sweat and panting, they still stood upright and bowed their heads respectfully to Anduin to report.
"Let's stop here for today's stance. Remember to delay the training before going to bed at night. Now, aim for Hogwarts Castle and run forward!" Anduin ordered sternly with a serious face.
"Yes, chief!" There was a hint of relief in the eyes of several people, and after responding imposingly, they turned and ran towards the castle neatly.
On the other hand, Tonks saw that these Slytherin students were so obedient under Anduin's order, so he couldn't help believing his words.
"Let's go, it's almost time for dinner in the afternoon. I'll treat you to dinner. Let's talk while we eat." Instead of trying to persuade Tonks, he walked towards the hut with the cat in his arms.
When Tonks heard that there was something to eat, he immediately became interested. With a big jump, he jumped off the railing with great agility and followed Anduin enthusiastically.
When she turned to the house, she saw an outdoor kitchen with a wooden shed against the wall. The most striking thing inside was a masonry earthen stove with a large iron pot, and a stone operating table next to it. There was a log cutting board with the same huge shape, and there were various bottles and jars she hadn't seen on the side.
When she looked past the outdoor kitchen, there was a stone-stacked, long barbeque table next to it. The iron mesh covering it was cleaned very cleanly, but the faint charred lines on it could still be seen from frequent use.
"Can you cook? If you do, come over and help." Anduin pointed to the barbecue station in front of him.
"I'm a Hufflepuff. Don't look at me as a young man. I'm definitely better than a big man like you." Tonks said with a displeased expression as his hair turned fiery red.
Anduin smiled noncommittally, then raised his chin and pointed at the stove, "That's good, today I'll eat charcoal-grilled pork chops, first you help me boil the water, and I'll handle the pork chops."
After saying that, Anduin took out a large piece of Tebo warthog pork chop from the space ring, and threw it on the stove with a bang.
Tonks' eyes went straight when he saw such a big piece of pork chop, but he still looked at Anduin with some doubts, "What are you doing with the boiling water? Wouldn't it be over if you marinated it and roasted it?"
"Cook it thoroughly before roasting, the meat will be softer and tenderer." Anduin explained casually, then took out his wand to direct the kitchen utensils and seasonings, and started to operate on his own, explaining to her while operating.
“Prick the ribs on both sides for flavor, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, pesto, oregano powder, spread evenly on both sides, then simmer with onion, garlic kernels, bay leaf, fresh thyme 30 minutes, and then stir-roasted on high heat, so that both the texture and the flavor are unexpectedly good."
Anduin used the cutting spell to divide the large rib into several parts, and was about to insert the hole, but found that Tonks swallowed his saliva and looked at him blankly, "Why are you still standing there, lighting a fire to boil water."
"Oh..." Tonks was drooling just listening to Anduin's description, and forgot to act for a moment.
"From what you said, you seem to be very familiar with cooking. Do you often cook?" Tonks asked curiously while helping.
"Recently, I have less time to cook by myself, but I am still quite picky about food. I also set up the kitchen here. If you are interested in cooking, you can borrow it if you have nothing to do. Just talk to Hagrid. Just say hello." Anduin said distractedly while handling the steak skillfully.
After hearing this, Tonks curled his lips noncommittally. This guy must be trying to seduce me with this, and I don't know what kind of help he wants from me, but he is so considerate.
"By the way, what exactly do you want me to do for you when you brought me here? For the sake of food, if it's not very difficult, I don't mind helping." Tonks was going to test the other party first.
"Actually, I don't need you to do anything. I'm just curious about your Disguise Magus ability, and I want to research and develop this special ability with you." Seeing that Tonks let go, Anduin smiled. replied.
"Transfiguration Magus? This is my innate talent for magic. Even I don't understand what's going on. It's just like some people are born with the Levitation Spell very well. Can this be studied?" Tonks frowned slightly, and asked a little puzzled.
I am the one who uses the floating spell very well in your mouth, Anduin teased in his heart, "It's because you don't have a deep understanding of the essence of magic. Many natural magical talents can be found in spells."
"What do you want to do?" Tonks looked at the other party with some confusion.
"Let's draw some blood first, and then figure out the flow direction and mechanism of the magic power to see if it's a physical problem, or is it a special blood magic." Anduin said casually.
