I'm the King of Curry at Hogwarts

Chapter 98 Sleeping Pasta

Solanlian held the cup between her little finger and thumb, her delicate hand half-covering the rim, and handed the cup full of juice to Catherine: "Have some juice, Little Moon."

Louis saw Solanlian's unfathomable, cunning smile and felt something was off no matter how he looked at it.

He couldn't help but secretly use his discerning eye on the juice.

Blueberry juice: A very ordinary blueberry juice, made from pure natural green ingredients and rich in vitamins.

Louis: ?

Isn't this normal?

But no matter how Louis looked at Solanlian's cunning eyes, he felt something was off.

Something's not right, there's definitely something wrong!

But for a moment he couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

Catherine took the juice and, without making a sound, casually placed it aside.

"Why aren't you drinking?" Solanlian asked casually, her eyes gleaming.

"I'm not thirsty yet, Mom," Catherine replied demurely.

"Oh." A hint of disappointment appeared on Solanlian's face, but she quickly recovered and smiled brightly.

Catherine scoffed inwardly. Trying to fool your daughter? Hmph…no way! You think I'd fall for your tricks so easily?

My silly mother, did you really think I would fall in the same place twice?

Having already decided that she had the upper hand in this round, Catherine happily forked up the pasta in front of her and ate it, letting out a satisfied sigh.

Meanwhile, Solanlian secretly watched her daughter with her beautiful eyes, and a smug smile flashed across her eyes after she ate the noodles.

Louis noticed Solanlian's expression, and alarm bells went off in his mind. He quickly gave Catherine's noodles a sharp look.

Creamy Mushroom and Bacon Spaghetti (with toppings): Spaghetti cooked by Solarian herself, it tastes excellent, but it contains her special potion, which may cause you to fall asleep a few hours after eating it.

Oh no, it's sleepy pasta.

Pressure Masne.

Louis smeared it on his forehead.

I was careless. I thought I was on the third floor with Catherine, but it turns out that Solanlian was on the fifth floor.

Yes, the juice was just a front.

Solanlian smiled gently, picked up the glass of red wine in front of her, swirled it in her hand, and gestured for Louis to enter.

As expected, the honey badger from Hufflepuff is at the top of the food chain in this home, and the two little snakes tremble in fear under her cunning.

This should be a picture of a badger stewed with snake.jpg.

Louis swallowed hard. He finally understood. When Catherine put the juice aside, Solanlian deliberately asked a question to reinforce Catherine's subjective judgment that "something had been added to the juice." She then deliberately showed a disappointed expression before quickly looking away, further reinforcing Catherine's subjective assumption.

But in reality, she had a primary objective: to lower Catherine's guard. Everything she did was a cover for the plate of pasta in front of her.

The lady's cunning left Louis in awe.

Impressed.

The longest road I, Louis, have ever walked in all my years is the road of Mrs. Worley's schemes.

He looked at Catherine, who was enjoying her meal with a happy expression, and a pang of sadness swept through his heart.

It's true, Zhang Wuji's mother was absolutely right.

The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

Why can't my silly daughter learn this?

He sighed, picked up a strand of noodles, and gulped it down.

It was so delicious that he couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

With nothing else to do, he gave the noodles in front of him a discerning look.

Creamy Mushroom and Bacon Spaghetti (with toppings): Spaghetti cooked by Solarian herself, it tastes excellent, but it contains her special potion, which may cause you to fall asleep a few hours after eating it.

The fork in his hand fell onto the table with a clatter.

It's over, it's really over, everything's over.

He is now extremely regretful, very, very regretful.

If only I had known earlier that boys could also be drugged...

Immediately afterward, drowsiness washed over him like a tide. He and Catherine exchanged a glance, both of them looking on with a sense of apprehension.

The last thing Louis saw was Solanlian's mocking gaze, as if to say, "Even if you're as clever as a devil, you still ate my foot bath water."

When Louis woke up again, he found himself lying in Catherine's room, with Catherine still fast asleep next to him.

But this time, Solanlian was sitting cross-legged on a chair by the bed, leisurely examining him.

The sunlight streamed into the room through the curtains, indicating it was around seven or eight in the morning.

Before long, Catherine also slowly woke up. She looked at her mother at the head of the bed, then at Louis beside her, and couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

"Waaah... Little Deer, we failed." Catherine sounded extremely frustrated.

"It's alright." Louis put his arm around her shoulder. "It's not that we're not doing our job well, it's just that the enemy is too cunning."

"What's that saying? 'Old people are cunning, old horses are slippery...' Oh dear..."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Solanlian grabbed her.

"Who are you talking about, my dear Mr. Deer?"

Solanlian asked with a smile, her face amiable.

"I...I was talking about Professor Dumbledore..." Louis swallowed hard, he was extremely flustered.

Solanlian's aura was undeniably powerful. No wonder she was a woman who could befriend his own mother. Even the dancer from the Cold Valley didn't exert this much pressure on him... No, the dancer's aura was nowhere near as strong as Solanlian's.

"Hmph...you two are too easy to fool. You can't even handle me, so what makes you think you can take on those dark wizards?" Solanlian looked at you with exasperation. "Put yourself in their shoes. If I were a dark wizard, what would you two be like right now?"

Catherine said expressionlessly, "Dark wizards aren't as cunning as you, Mother."

So, her mouth was sealed shut by Solanlian with a spell.

Seeing this, Louis said sincerely, "Sister, I know I was wrong. I will definitely listen to your teachings from now on and be extremely careful with everyone and everything. I will never be like that fool Cathy."

At this point, he placed his hand on his chest, striking a pose reminiscent of Churchill, and said with great emotion, "In my heart, there is only one sun: Sister Solanian. I will never forget your teachings."

Catherine, standing to the side, was so angry that she kept kicking him with her little feet, but Solanlian nodded with great satisfaction, her face showing an expression of "this child is teachable".

She patted Louis's little head and said with a smile, "Sweetie, I'll go make you something delicious."

After saying that, she gently beckoned with her finger, breaking Catherine's tongue-sealing spell, and then walked out of Catherine's bedroom humming a little tune.

"Little Deer! I really misjudged you!" The first thing Catherine did after being released from quarantine was to grab a pillow and smack Louis hard: "How could you go against me! Whose side are you on anyway?!"

"The winning team..."

Before Louis could finish speaking, Catherine flipped him onto the bed. She covered Louis's face with a pillow and was about to attack him, but he took the initiative and pinned her down with a somersault.

"Woman, you're playing with fire." Louis mimicked the classic lines of a domineering CEO, hooking Catherine's chin with his finger.

Catherine snorted and turned her face away. "I've always been good at playing with fire!"

Yes, she is indeed quite good at playing with fire. Li Huo is still fire, so there's nothing wrong with that.

"Alright, alright, Little Moon." Louis held Catherine's two soft little hands and earnestly persuaded her, "What else can I do? Are you going to resist?"

"You betrayed me!" Catherine accused angrily.

"I'm cutting my losses!" Louis began his sophistry... no, he began his elaborate defense: "You've already been gagged by her, do you want me to be gagged too, and then hung up and humiliated along with her?!"

"You're always talking about me, huh? You're so great, why don't you dare fight your mother then!" Louis said with a hint of sarcasm.

After saying the harsh words, it was time to say something softer. Louis looked at Catherine's still angry little face, leaned down and kissed her cheek, and whispered in her ear to comfort her: "Little Moon, you should know Lian's personality. In my opinion, she is like a child who never grows up. And in your family relationship, I think you are more like the mother."

"When two people live together, one of them always has to be more tolerant. She's the kind of person who never grows up; if you don't pamper her, who will?"

"But she can't..."

Actually, Catherine had already calmed down. She wasn't being stubborn; she just wanted Louis to coax her a little more.

Women, sigh.

"Sweetie, think about it. At least you still have me, but what about Sister Lian?" Louis gently comforted Catherine, holding her head close and stroking her hair softly. "She teases you like this, maybe she just wants to get your attention... Think about it, many children like to get their parents' attention by being naughty. I think Sister Lian is like that."

"Okay, whatever you say." Catherine nestled in Louis's arms, her voice sweet and gentle.

Louis breathed a sigh of relief; appeasing a woman was truly a laborious and exhausting task...

"Let's go, let's go," Louis patted her on the back. "It's time to go out for dinner..."

"No, let me hug you a little longer," Catherine said sweetly and coquettishly.

This was a real problem for Louis. The charm of a cute girl was already powerful enough, let alone what a mature woman's charm was like.

But Catherine has the personality of a mature woman and a queen. When she starts to act coquettish, the extreme contrast, combined with the satisfaction of conquering the queen, is absolutely exhilarating.

After lingering tenderly for a while, Catherine reluctantly left Louis's embrace.

"Good moon, be good," Louis said again, still worried.

"Mmm." Catherine sniffed and nodded emphatically.

After leaving the bedroom, Catherine went straight to Solanlian, who was still busy in the kitchen, and hugged her like a swallow flitting through the forest.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Solanlian was also puzzled. When had she ever seen Catherine like this? It seemed like she hadn't held her daughter since she was seven or eight years old.

"I love you, Mom," Catherine said affectionately.

Solanlian was stunned. She held her hands in a daze for a long time before awkwardly patting Catherine's back.

"Good boy, good boy."

In an instant, Catherine felt an overwhelming sense of admiration for Louis. Her little deer was truly amazing; with his advice, he had managed to win over her mother so quickly.

She recalled Louis's words, "Kids like to get their parents' attention by being naughty," and she became even more convinced that her mother was definitely trying to get her attention in this way.

Thinking back to when I was seven or eight years old, I wonder if my mother also became increasingly lonely around that time?

Catherine couldn't help but feel a little guilty. If she had noticed her mother's loneliness earlier, would their relationship have been different, neither too close nor too distant?

"Alright, the food's getting cold." Solanlian said gently, patting Catherine's shoulder lightly.

Catherine reluctantly left her mother's embrace, gave her a happy and sunny smile, and then subtly gave Louis a thumbs-up as she turned around.

"You're so amazing, Little Deer," she mouthed.

Louis read her lips.

And Solanlian did the same, giving Louis a thumbs-up behind Catherine's back.

You're quite something, kid. You're definitely someone I've chosen.

Louis, of course, understood what Solanlian wanted to say.

During the meal, Solanlian still reminded Louis with some concern, "I must remind you that you absolutely cannot show any weakness today at Malfoy Manor." She tapped her lips with her index finger, thought for a moment, and then added, "You certainly won't have any problems with etiquette, but... um..."

Solanlian organized her thoughts, then frowned and said, "If you're riding in a Muggle car, no matter how luxurious it is, the Malfoy family has absolutely no concept of it. Do you understand what I mean?"

Louis understood perfectly well that Solarian had been very tactful. Using Muggle products to impress the wizarding world was futile; they were not only uninterested in Muggle technology, but also held it in contempt.

In contrast, for these pure-blood families in the wizarding world, Louis seems to be only useful for his potential in magical skill and his royal title.

No matter where you are, if you want to be respected and treated as an honored guest, having a certain status is far from enough.

"I have a Thestral carriage; if you don't have a better option, I can lend it to you temporarily."

I never imagined that Solanlian was actually a rich woman...

It's not entirely unexpected, after all, the Worley family is a family with a thousand-year history, but they have always kept a low profile and have never been recorded in the so-called "Twenty-Eight Sacred Families", so their reputation is not prominent.

Louis hesitated for a long time, and was about to agree when the system notification sounded again.

*The Malfoy family's invitation

As the rightful heir of the Union Jack of Old London, Dumbledore's chosen successor, and the future protector of this plane, how could I possibly lose face over such a trivial matter?

Mission Reward: Limited-time free vehicle lottery.

Twenty-eight periods passed through Louis's mind.

Something's wrong with you, system.

Something's really off about you. Who in this room is surnamed Cao?

But Louis thought to himself, "I'm already here, what can I do?"

Just grit your teeth and go for it...

I forgot to post the chapter titles, how embarrassing!
