Chapter 2348 Fantastic Beasts Cooking Class

For a while, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Only those Scottish round-faced fat chickens who didn't know what was going to happen still twisted their heads and made a suspicious "cuckoo" sound.

Finally, Hermione hesitated and raised her hand.

"Ms. Ellie, I remember that we should be in the protection of magical animals class?"

Hermione made a point of emphasizing the word "protection", but Ellie was unmoved.

"For me, animals that have no food value have no value to protect. As the saying goes, people depend on food, and nothing is more important than food. Well, the next thing we are going to learn is the first lesson... ..."

As she spoke, Ellie snapped her fingers, and soon a fat Scottish chicken with a round face was brought out, staring innocently at the students in front of her with wide eyes.

"Scotch chicken, a very delicious ingredient, its meat is delicious and firm..."

She just said it was the ingredients, it was the ingredients!

The students made eye contact and looked at each other, but no one dared to speak again. Ellie has also taught Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts for two years, and she has a lot of prestige. These students are not fledgling rookies, so naturally they won't be lame and come out to make trouble.

Next, Ellie gave the students a good lesson on China on the tip of their tongues. She spent ten minutes talking about the history of the Scottish round-faced fat chicken, its origin, and most importantly, how to cook them...

"The first thing we're going to do is kill it and then bled it."

While speaking, Ellie walked over, then picked up a small knife, and slashed at the neck of the Scottish round-faced fat chicken, and the next moment blood gushed out. And she just held the Scotch chicken upside down, letting its blood spurt from the gap in its neck and drip into the bucket below.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but let out a low cry, and those with weak mental capacity even turned their heads away, and Hermione even closed her eyes.

"God, teacher, this is too cruel!"

"cruel?"

Hearing this, Ellie stared at Hermione coldly.

"Miss Granger, human beings can evolve to the present and stand out from many species because they have learned to eat meat—you don't really think that everyone is just a wave of a magic wand, and then all the people in front of them The turkey has turned into ham. The law of nature is the law of the jungle, I thought you would understand this...but since you don't understand, then I will let you experience it for yourself."

Having said that, Ellie gestured to Hermione.

"Come out and help me hold this fat chicken."

"…………………yes."

Although Hermione was unwilling in her heart, under the watchful eyes of Ellie, she still reluctantly walked out of the crowd, and then grabbed the feet of the Scottish round-faced fat chicken. She could even feel the Scottish round-faced fat chicken struggling in her hands. For a moment, Hermione really wanted to let it go... But Ellie's eyes seemed to have some kind of magic power, prompting her to He obediently grabbed the fat chicken in front of him.

"Okay, I know you're not used to it, but everyone has come here like this. In fact, most of your grandparents should have done similar things in your generation. Cooking ingredients is not as simple as you think... ...Well, first of all, you must remember that you must ensure that the blood is drained, so as to ensure the freshness of the ingredients and remove the fishy smell..."

Having said that, Ellie picked up her wand again, and then a pot of steaming boiling water appeared in front of everyone.

"Then what we have to do is to remove the hair and put it in this pot of hot water, Miss Granger, remember to be careful not to burn yourself."

"........."

"Next, cut open its body and take out the internal organs. The Scottish round-faced fat chicken is full of treasures, but there are also some that cannot be eaten, but today we only care about the surface... You see, It is delicate, delicious, and very firm due to long-term exercise..."

"........."

"Scottish round-faced fat chicken can be fried, fried and stewed, and can also be used to make a variety of dishes. We need to put ginger slices and green onions in the pot to remove the fishy smell and seasoning, even if we don't put anything next, It's just that eating like this doesn't have a special flavor..."

"........."

Hermione then remained motionless like a wooden figure, and only occasionally handled the Scottish round-faced fat chicken in her hand according to Ellie's statement. Of course, she was in a very uncomfortable mood. Seeing such a cute animal being shaved, being beaten Cut open, their internal organs were pulled out, and their bodies were steamed in a pot, watching the white, firm pieces of meat rolling in the water, smelling the delicious, seductive breath...

"Okay, Miss Granger, you can try a piece first."

Ellie took out a chicken leg and stuffed it to Hermione. Although the latter wanted to refuse, but looking at the piece of meat in front of her and the aroma from the pavement, she couldn't help opening her mouth and biting down. .

The next moment, the meat of the Scottish round-faced fat chicken exploded in the mouth. The crispy and sweet skin, the crispy taste, melted in the mouth, and the deliciousness reached the extreme touch. Hermione couldn't help but close her eyes and shed tears of humiliation.

It smells so good! !

Soon, the Protection of Fantastic Beasts class became the favorite class of all Hogwarts students this semester—after all, the feeling of being able to eat during class is justifiable, but any student will feel very happy.

And it's even better if the food is delicious.

Not only that, but the Slytherin students also said that Ellie planned to find some pieces of dragon meat for them... Now the students looked forward to it even more, but it was a pity that dragon meat was not so easy to find.

In addition, Ellie also encountered a small trouble.

That's when Hermione found her, hoping that she could support her SPEW --- the Society for the Promotion of House Elf Rights.

"We should improve the status and treatment of house-elves!"

Hermione looked very excited in front of Ellie, but Ron and Harry who were pulled over by her were speechless.

"We saw an elf at the Quidditch World Cup before. She is cute and obedient, but her master doesn't care about her at all, and even wants to expel her. He doesn't treat her as a human being at all!"

"House-elves aren't human in the first place."

Ellie turned a page and replied, while Hermione shook her head.

"But it's not right, they don't have holidays, they don't get paid, they don't have entitlements..."

"Because they're not human."

Ellie replied again, and Hermione clenched her fists.

"But they have feelings!"

"But they're not human."

This time, Ellie finally put down the book in her hand and looked at Hermione.

"But you want to treat them like human beings, that's arrogance."

"I……………"

Facing Ellie's accusation, Hermione couldn't help being stunned.

"Humans have human thoughts, and so do animals. Hermione, you should know about praying mantises. Then, do you know that after mating, the female praying mantis will eat the male mantis to supplement nutrition and give birth to their offspring? How? Is it very evil from a human point of view? So what are you going to do? Do you want to fight for the rights of mantises?"

"Yes, but they are really pitiful..."

Facing Ellie's rhetorical question, Hermione's voice became much quieter.

"There is an old saying that Zifeiyu knows the joy of fish? It means that you are not a fish, how do you know if a fish is really happy? Besides, house elves are a very dangerous and terrifying existence, and you actually want to modify it? The law that they must not use wands?"

"But, but... I just hope that they can get their due rights..."

"There are no entitlements, Miss Granger."

At this moment, Ellie's tone became serious.

"Listen well, all the rights of human beings are all won by human beings. Nothing is deserved. In ancient times, our ancestors had no right to live. They were just part of the food chain of nature. They also would be eaten for dinner by animals, and to protect ourselves, our ancestors grew strong and saved their lives from those horrific beasts - by struggle, not by some 'deserved' power .There is nothing that gives human beings the right to life and survival. The reason why human beings can live on this earth until now is completely relying on their own efforts. Now you can sit here, in a comfortable classroom, and be able to worry-free every day. Studying and living carefree instead of trembling in a cave afraid of being eaten by something depends on the struggle and struggle of your ancestors, and I hope you can remember this."

“……………………”

Hearing Ellie's answer, Hermione bit her lip, her face pale.

"Why are you fighting for house-elves? If they really want more rights, shouldn't they stand up? If they don't stand up themselves, then what's the point of you standing up, and You must remember, Miss Granger."

Having said that, Ellie stared at Hermione.

"You're human, you're not house-elves or goblins or whatever. I want you to realize that every race, every country, every civilization has its own unique traits, traits, and cultural traits. If they themselves want to change, then we can help, but if they don't want to, then don't intervene."

"But………"

"No, but, you are nothing more than self-important sympathy. You regard yourself as a god, eager to save the suffering people. But you must understand your identity, you are not a god, let alone a god, and you are just a mortal , you say house-elves don't have their rights, so who gave you the right to save them?"

“…………………”

This time Hermione didn't speak, she turned pale, lowered her head, turned and rushed out of the office, while Ron and Harry looked at each other and followed out helplessly.

Stupid and cocky white messiah mentality.

Looking at the re-closed office door, Ellie snorted softly and looked at the book in her hand again. She never thought about saving house-elves, as she said to Hermione just now, house-elves are not human beings, and compared to the rights of house-elves, are the rights of Muggle wizards and half-blood wizards Shouldn't it be maintained?

You see, the typical mentality of white people-they don't care about the life and death of the poor and homeless around them, but they are full of love for a pet dog... But this is also a traditional art in Europe and the United States, there is nothing to make a fuss about .

After that, Hermione never mentioned anything about the House-Elf Rights Promotion Association, but her attitude towards Ellie also changed. She was still very close to Ellie before, but now there is some distance.

Ellie doesn't care about this, it's normal for a child.

For other students, there are more things that need to be concerned about——with the announcement of the Triwizard Tournament, the atmosphere of the entire school has also changed instantly.

Finally, under the eagerly awaited students, the day when the other two schools participating in the Triwizard Tournament came to Hogwarts finally arrived.
