Chapter 268: Owl Biscuit

At the entrance of the Hogwarts headmaster's office, after Professor Sineipu got a necessary document paper, he disappeared without a trace outside the castle.

At the same time, in the garbage-filled street of the Croydon area, Minerva Marcus Marcus Maige pinched a yellowed letter, and in front of the dilapidated gate, observed the Victorian semi-detached house located in the poor southern suburbs again.

The people here acted as if they didn't see her, letting her look at the warped floors and the drafty single-pane windows.

The letter in her hand also revealed handwriting with forceful knuckles:

【Respected Madam:

When I truly learned this news, I knew that those long displacements had become the past, Madam, forgive my gaffe, my tears flowed for a whole night.

May you see this, respected Madam, forgive his dullness, please be patient, be more patient】

And what she didn't know was that there was more than one wizard on this street.

Christmas was getting closer, and Xiang Xien also made owl biscuits; the biscuits attracted the onlookers in the Hope Hut as soon as they appeared.

After all, Xiang Xien had many strange phenomena when making biscuits, such as the biscuits themselves suddenly turning into an owl.

This made them feel incredibly novel.

At first they thought it was just some kind of Transfiguration, until they heard the two Weasleys discussing what kind of share agreement to reach with Xiang Xien in the corridor, they realized something was wrong.

Everyone knew—the Weasleys were best at prank inventions.

"Xiang Xien, what is this?"

Jia Siting leaned over curiously.

"Owl biscuit,"

Xiang Xien answered, looking at Jia Siting's puzzled look, he added the following words softly,

"A biscuit that can transform a wizard into an owl."

"Merlin—"

Jia Siting looked at Xiang Xien, and after Xiang Xien nodded slightly, he picked up the biscuit, observed it carefully, and still didn't know what magic was applied inside.

Hemin also ran over, and she also picked up the biscuit and examined it:

"Alchemy?"

Xiang Xien nodded.

Harry and Luo En were already a little confused.

Alchemy?

Wasn't that something that could only be learned in the sixth grade?

"I guess Xiang Xien will become the next Percy, oh no, three, five, ten times stronger than Percy!"

Luo En said convincingly.

"I..."

Harry sometimes felt that apart from his fame, he couldn't compare to his friends in anything... He suddenly felt a little inferior.

"Just passed the test."

Xiang Xien remembered the Weasleys' impatience to take risks. The final result was good, it was just that the two flew to the pine tree and hung there, and were finally taken down by Xiang Xien controlling the snowman.

Ignoring the shock of them being caught by a huge snowman just after waking up, the whole process was very smooth.

"Well, pay attention, one by one, you will briefly lose your sanity after transforming into an owl."

Regarding the loss of sanity, Xiang Xien guessed that it was the same as what was said in "Quidditch Through the Ages":

【Later wizards transformed themselves into bats.

Doing so was proven to be stupid, although wizards who transformed themselves into bats could fly to their heart's content,

but because they had bat heads, they would definitely forget where they wanted to go when flying.

Floating in the air is a common occurrence】

Sure enough, the vastness of magic lies in the fact that when you understand a mystery, you find that predecessors have already recorded it.

Owl biscuits can only be used in a safe state, but Xiang Xien guessed according to some peculiar intuition:

A wizard possesses a double body; when the wizard's "self" fits the double body toward "living thing" transformation, the wizard's transformation can be much simpler.

If Professor Marcus Marcus Maige took the "cat biscuit", would the professor not lose her sanity?

This is just a simple guess, but in fact, it is also very simple to solve the problem of losing consciousness, and that is to learn the advanced Transfiguration of "self" transforming toward "living thing".

The example here is still Krum, he transformed into a shark head, but still possessed sanity, which shows that this path is feasible.

In the Hope Hut, everyone sat together, sitting obediently, waiting for the birth of an incredibly magical product.

"Well, let me try first."

Jia Siting looked at the excited and slightly worried eyes of the crowd and took the initiative to take an owl biscuit.

His face changed after the first bite, and then he ate it as if nothing had happened.

"How does it taste?"

Xiang Xien asked suddenly.

"Of course it's great!"

Jia Siting didn't blink.

"Tell the truth."

"It tastes terrible."

Jia Siting's face immediately turned bitter; he had never eaten anything so unpalatable.

Just when Jia Siting transformed into an owl and flapped everywhere, Xiang Xien encountered a strange problem—his biscuits were very unpalatable.

Next in the Hope Hut, there were little wizards who kept eating with bitter faces but still swallowed them, as well as the owls they transformed into.

Before going to find Professor Tela, Xiang Xien knew that he was probably facing the biggest problem—

None of the many books he learned taught cooking.

When Xiang Xien was looking through his books, Jia Siting was swaying beside him;

When Xiang Xien went to the library to borrow magic cooking books, Jia Siting sighed beside him;

When Xiang Xien was searching in "Conjure a Feast!", Jia Siting's voice came mixed with the sound of snow falling:

"Mother said, half of a person's life must be lived in friends...

Xiang Xien, can I participate in some..."

His eyes were shining, with sincerity and generosity.

A few hours passed quickly, and when the biscuits were freshly baked in the Hogwarts kitchen, Jia Siting's mouth couldn't be pressed down no matter what.

"Flour, sugar, eggs, baking powder, butter, milk... their proportions are..."

Jia Siting finally explained the recipe, and Xiang Xien recorded it word for word; the owl biscuit was truly completed at this moment.

Xiang Xien waved his wand, and the biscuits all fell into Jia Siting's hands.

"See you tonight."

He said goodbye to Jia Siting and headed to the alchemy office with the samples.

Howlers, owl biscuits, were his practice works for entering alchemy.

In the corridor, Xiang Xien walked in a hurry.

Since receiving that letter from London, he had been deliberately making himself busier, so that he would have no time to think about those exciting, expectant, uneasy, and sorrowful things.

Professor's gentle blue eyes often appeared in his mind, calm and soft like a clear lake.

Whether in his past life or this life, Professor Marcus Marcus Maige's age could be his grandmother's.

But he still didn't know how he should face all this.

This winter.

The wind blew over his shoulders, swept past him, blowing from the past to the future,

Above the wind,

The stars twinkled, unfathomable. ===== CHAPTER 269 =====
