"As autumn approached, the frequent rainy season began to bring a sense of weariness. A dark cloud seemed to hang over everyone's heart, making even familiar and delicious dishes taste dull. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was no exception…"

"The desire for a touch of warmth and life outweighed the pursuit of exquisite cuisine. And among all the options, the most popular dish among students and teachers was undoubtedly the spicy and vibrant grilled fish…"

"Hogwarts Great Bluefish, a delectable fish living in the Black Lake, possessed both the wildness of natural waters and the delicate freshness unique to magical creatures. It could only be found in the Black Lake of Hogwarts, filled with wondrous creatures…"

"The Hogwarts kitchen's method of preparing grilled fish was unique and meticulous. Besides the main spine running through the entire fish, all the small bones that could potentially harm the eater were removed. The seasonings consisted only of salt, millet peppers, and minced garlic. A subtle garlic aroma and fresh spiciness permeated the fish meat through the cleaned scales. It was the most beloved flavor stimulation for Slytherin students…"

"…Elena, I'm hungry."

In the Hufflepuff common room, Hannah put down the new issue of *The Quibbler*, which she had only read halfway, and looked longingly at Elena, who was squatting by the fireplace, carefully turning skewers of meat and grilled fish. She pouted and said pitifully, "Can't you let me have a little bite first? I really can't read anymore."

"Sorry, you lost to Luna in rock-paper-scissors. According to the agreement, this one is for Luna," Elena replied earnestly. She picked up an oil brush, dipped it in chili powder, and carefully spread a layer on the grilled fish in front of her. The grease dripped onto the charcoal below, producing a pleasant crackling sound.

Accompanied by a small cloud of mist, the aroma of the grilled fish quickly filled the circular Hufflepuff common room. The Hufflepuff students surrounding the fireplace all swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.

Hufflepuff was undoubtedly fortunate, as Elena would stay in the Hufflepuff common room for three days each week.

During these three days, she would take the time to whip up some tempting midnight snacks in the evenings. Besides feeding her two little wings, she would also cook extra portions to share with the little wizards around her.

However, in exchange for the food, the students had to patiently listen to Hannah or Luna read excerpts from the *A Bite of Hogwarts* section of *The Quibbler* and offer some suggestions.

If they were too hungry, the students could also take out their cauldrons and cook something themselves, but the taste was incomparable to the food cooked by Elena.

Of course, as the head chef of Hogwarts, Elena would not forget the "starving" little wizards of the other three houses. After all, these children were her potential important labor force and the foundation of her culinary empire.

Of the seven days in a week, besides the three days fixed in Hufflepuff, she would also spend two nights in Gryffindor. As for the remaining two days, they were divided equally between Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

In addition, considering the different personalities and taste preferences of the little wizards in each house, the content of Elena's "Elena's Food Small Lecture Hall" in each common room was also different.

For example, in Gryffindor, the focus was mainly on cooking methods for various common meats, with the core emphasis on how to obtain the most satisfying carnivore's pleasure, and how to cook the most delicious meat dishes in the most rough and simple way.

Ravenclaw, on the other hand, leaned towards desserts and baking, homemade yogurt, biscuits, and the like. A balanced diet and the concept of modern nutrition were the most important seeds that Elena was gradually trying to spread.

In comparison, the difference between Slytherin and Hufflepuff was not so great.

In addition to traditional European dishes, some more flavorful Asian cooking methods were also highly accepted in these two houses—although the reasons for looking at this aspect may not be the same.

For Hufflepuff, the entire house's culinary atmosphere and innate affinity for ingredients allowed them to have far more talent than other houses in learning and understanding the new dishes proposed by Elena.

Culinary art is a vast and boundless field of knowledge.

According to Elena's observation, the culinary talent and culinary magic emphasis of Hufflepuff was mainly on the home cooking branch—after all, the original intention of most people studying culinary magic was not to become a "special chef", as long as they could satisfy their own family with delicious food.

From family gatherings, to everyday stir-fries; from exquisite health-preserving soups and staples, to indulgent barbecues and fried foods; from simple boiled mutton, to complex and plain boiled cabbage…

Undoubtedly, in terms of home cooking, China's thousands of years of food culture was the most suitable.

Similarly, Hufflepuff, with its strong culinary atmosphere and culinary genes, was also the most valued place by Elena—in recent days, many badgers have developed the habit of occasionally stewing something in a cauldron.

On the other hand, when facing Slytherin, Elena adopted another approach.

It must be admitted that Slytherin was a rather exclusive, stubborn, and aloof collective.

But at the same time, they were also the most easily communicated and integrated special collective.

Because all the little wizards of Slytherin had one thing in common—following the voice of their hearts.

It should be known that, not to mention that Elena was the only little wizard in the entire school who best understood Slytherin's special delicacies, and could lightly determine the fate of Slytherin students' next meal.

The most important thing was that auditorium wooden door that was almost split by this strong "chef loli" with a single knife.

In fact, after that chilling scene of "Elena's Wrath", most of the little wizards of Slytherin had somewhat complicated feelings towards Elena.

Such terrifying ability and power could not possibly be an overnight, sudden product.

If Elena Caslana had gone all out during the "Snake-Badger War" a few weeks ago, in that narrow alley, perhaps few of the Slytherin students who participated in the brawl would have survived?

Since Elena entered the Slytherin common room with two gleaming Zwilling knives on her back, wearing Slytherin robes (with the permission of Headmaster Snape), and led by Malfoy and others, the exclusionary remarks about the girl almost completely disappeared.

One was to enjoy the delicious food with peace of mind, and the other was to become a salted fish on the chopping board…

This multiple choice question had almost no difficulty for the little wizards of Slytherin.

In fact, in the week that followed, the little wizards of Hogwarts all behaved exceptionally well, and did not show any complaints whether it was eating, attending classes, or farming.

Everything began to go smoothly, and "Hogwarts Farm" became a part of the little wizards' daily lives.

As the number of 【Exchangeable Recipes】 continued to increase, and the unique dishes of each house continued to spread, the little wizards gradually shifted their attention to the aspect of food. In addition to passively accepting the kitchen's feeding, they also began to explore and try some basic and simple cooking in private.

At the same time, the *New Quibbler* gradually became a must-order publication for every family in the entire magical world.

The *A Bite of Hogwarts* section had simply become a must-read for every wizard before meals and before going to bed. The delicious food was simply something that everyone hated and envied—it made them hungry, but not reading it made eating tasteless.
