Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 49 First Use of Cooking Magic

"Going down to play? Why would I? I was summoned by a mysterious demon god to go downstairs and get super, super, super powerful magic beans that can increase my magic power!"

Looking at Elsa, who was standing with her hands on her hips and puffing out her cheeks in a huff, Jerry explained with a serious expression.

"A super, super, super powerful magic bean?"

Elsa looked puzzled.

"Look, this is it!"

Jerry pulled out a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans that he had prepared in advance from his pocket.

"Wow~, there really are super, super, super powerful magic beans!"

Elsa snatched the Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans from Jerry's hand. Her eyes lit up when she saw the colorful, candy-like beans inside.

Because Elsa is still losing her baby teeth, her father, Haas, has strictly forbidden her from eating any sweets, and she hasn't had any sweets for a long time.

"When Father comes home tonight, don't tell him I went out to get you a super, super powerful magic bean, or he'll be unhappy!"

Jerry closed the door and spoke softly to Elsa.

On his way back, he recalled that when he was talking to Has, the other man's expression seemed a little off, and he suddenly realized that there might be something wrong with his voice.

Indeed, although they were masked, they were father and son after all, so how could Has not be familiar with his voice?

The most crucial thing is his physique, which is what he can no longer hide.

So just in case, Elsa is needed to fix this loophole.

"Don't worry, Jerry, I won't tell Haas the Great Demon King!"

Elsa patted Jerry on the shoulder, then skipped back to the sofa to watch TV, clutching her Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans.

Jerry secretly went downstairs to buy her candy. How could she tell her father about this? If her father found out and scolded Jerry, she wouldn't have any candy anymore.

"So sweet, so delicious!"

Elsa popped a Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean into her mouth, and her eyes immediately lit up. It seemed she'd gotten the toffee flavor.

Jerry shook his head and put the guitar case containing the flying broom and wizard outfit under his bed in his room.

Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans aren't candy; they're just beans with different flavors, so they won't have any negative effect on Elsa's teeth.

"By the way, the Super, Super, Super Powerful Magic Beans come in many flavors, so be careful when you eat them!"

"Ugh~~"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a vomiting sound came from the sofa. Clearly, Elsa had eaten something terrible.

After a quick wash, Jerry checked the time and saw it was past five o'clock. He went to the kitchen, grabbed an apron, put it on, and started preparing dinner.

As he passed through the living room, he saw Elsa staring at the Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans box, looking like she wanted to eat it but didn't dare. He couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Jerry pulled the sliding door between the kitchen and the living room shut and then pulled his wand out from under his apron.

"Let me try it out and see if this 'Practical Home Cooking Magic' is really useful!"

With a wave of his magic wand, the old hen that had been thawing in the pool flew up and landed on the cutting board. Then, with a swift motion, the cleaver rushed over and began to chop it into evenly sized pieces.

At the same time, garlic cloves fly up and automatically peel, ginger is sliced ​​in mid-air by a fruit knife, an iron pot is heated, and cold oil is poured into the pot. The entire kitchen seems to have instantly gained self-awareness.

In less than ten minutes, a plate of delicious-looking braised chicken, a plate of garlic lettuce, a plate of stir-fried potatoes with shredded pork, and a large bowl of tomato and egg soup were placed in front of Jerry.

The pots, pans, and dishes used in the kitchen began to clean themselves.

"It's really useful!"

Normally, if he were to cook these three dishes and a soup himself, it would take at least an hour, not including the time spent washing the dishes, cleaning the pots and pans, and tidying up the kitchen afterward.

But now, he simply stood there, waved his wand, and chanted a couple of spells, and in less than ten minutes, he had prepared a dinner.

It's convenient and worry-free, and the extra time saved can be used to read the magic book a little longer. It's really practical.

Actually, at first, he naively thought that as long as he mastered Transfiguration, he could conjure up a whole bunch of delicious food with a wave of his wand.

But he only realized this after he actually started learning about transformation techniques.

Transfiguration was not as simple as he had imagined. As a separate course, it involved a lot of profound magical knowledge and had many branches.

Examples include: cross-species transformation, human transformation, transformation magic, summoning, manifestation, and Animagus transformation, etc.

Furthermore, it must adhere to the most basic rules of Gampo transformation.

It clearly states that when you use Transfiguration to transform one item into another, the effect is not permanent; once the time is up, it will revert to its original form.

So, if you can turn a stone into a loaf of bread, that's possible, but if you eat that loaf, then after the magic effect ends, what you have in your stomach won't be bread, but a stone.

But if you turn a cup of tea into rum, that's fine.

Because even if the magic is dispelled, it won't cause any harm to your body.

The final conclusion is that it is impossible to conjure up a table full of edible food out of thin air using shapeshifting magic.

The wizard's method of cooking with magic is actually the same method Jerry is currently using. All the tools and ingredients are still needed, but it saves a lot of time.

However, there is a limitation to using this cooking magic: the wizard himself must be a skilled cook.

Because the food you make with cooking magic will taste exactly the same as the food you cook yourself.

If you're a complete novice in the kitchen, these cooking tricks won't work for you.

This is similar to some housework-related magic spells; the effectiveness of the magic depends on the wizard's own housework skills.

Therefore, both kitchen cooking magic and housework magic are very simple and easy to learn. However, if you want to achieve good magical effects after casting them, the wizard himself needs to have a certain level of skill in cooking and housework.

Fortunately, Jerry is quite confident about this.

His housework and cooking skills, after so many years of practice, are at least at level 90, if not 100.

Jerry was quite pleased with the results of his first use of cooking magic. He cast a heat-keeping spell on the three dishes and soup he had prepared before leaving the kitchen.

Haas usually doesn't get off work until around 6:30 or 7:00, so he has more than an hour to go and look at the magic book for a while longer.

Learning is a never-ending process. If you want to use magic well, you have to spend more time learning and you can't slack off.
