HP Dual Masters and I had a blast in Hogwarts.

Chapter 54 Teaching Tom Marvolo Riddell to Cook

After ordering the clothes, we bought some ingredients and then Apparated away.

When we got home, I didn't let Tom Marvolo Riddle have a moment's peace. I dragged him to the kitchen counter and made him cook with me.

"Ahem, Tom Marvolo Riddle, may I call you Tom Marvolo? It doesn't seem quite right for me to call you by your full name." I've entrusted the task of washing vegetables to the future villain Voldemort... What am I going to do? I really want to write this down!

I don't really want to call him Old Tom; it reminds me of Tom and Jerry, and I'm afraid I'll burst out laughing.

"Hmm." She was used to being asked to do things like this in the orphanage, and would get a beating if she didn't do them well. She looked at the adoptive parent next to her. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would hit people randomly, but she still needed to observe him for a while.

As for the name, it doesn't matter, call me whatever you want.

"Learn to cook seriously, I believe you can do it. We'll take turns cooking, and once you've mastered this skill, you'll never starve." It's hard to imagine what Voldemort, a master cook, will be like in the future, but knowing I taught him gives me a real sense of accomplishment, doesn't it?

I feel like I'm grooming a boyfriend. Am I being selfish? Do I want a partner who can cook?

But to be honest, Voldemort was a really smart and studious genius. If he hadn't been forced into this situation, I don't think he would have ended up like that.

Suddenly moved by a thought, I looked at Tom Marvolo Riddle, who was diligently washing vegetables, and gave him a quick pat on the head.

“Ayers Hall!” Tom Marvolo Riddell couldn’t take it anymore. He had seen me touch raw meat with my hand, and now I was touching my head with that hand. He was furious and wanted to chop that hand off. He was looking at me with a fierce expression.

"Oh dear~ Did I forget to introduce myself? How did you know my name~" I wanted to laugh at Tom Marvolo Riddle's flustered reaction. What to do~

“Gringotts.” Tom Marvolo Riddell really wanted to kill the man in front of him.

"Tom Marvolo, you're very observant. Oh dear, don't look at me like that! I just touched your hair with this hand, it's washed!" This little Voldemort teased him for a bit, but he didn't go too far. He smiled as he watched Tom Marvolo Riddle, who had lost his composure. "He's younger than me, why is he pretending to be so profound? I love seeing Tom Marvolo Riddle like this."

So, while I was teasing Tom Marvolo Riddle, I prepared dinner. I was cooking the dishes, and I was having Tom Marvolo Riddle get the bowls and chopsticks.

Finally, thanks to our joint efforts, we were able to enjoy a hot dinner.

The table was laden with a variety of delicious-looking and fragrant dishes, making one's mouth water.

The first thing that catches the eye is a steamed fish. The fish is whole, white in color, sprinkled with shredded scallions, ginger and red peppers, and drizzled with hot oil, giving off an enticing aroma.

The fish is tender and juicy, melting in your mouth and leaving you wanting more.

Next up was braised pork belly, with a bright red color, tender meat, and a rich but not greasy texture.

The broth from the braised pork is rich and flavorful, making it an absolute must-have for mixing with rice.

In addition, there is a dish of sweet and sour pork ribs, which is sweet and sour, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making people's appetites increase.

Besides the meat dishes, there are also several delicious vegetarian dishes.

Stir-fried seasonal vegetables are made with fresh vegetables, resulting in a refreshing taste and rich nutrition.

Garlic broccoli: The broccoli is crisp and refreshing, and the aroma of garlic is incredibly appetizing.

Another dish is cucumber salad. Cucumber is refreshing and helps to cut through the greasiness, making it a frequent guest on the summer dining table.

The main dish is pasta. It's lucky to find these ingredients that I used to see all my life in Diagon Alley. So it seems like I made a bit too much food tonight. I don't know if the two of us can finish it.

There was also a dessert—a fruit platter.

The fruit platter features a variety of fresh fruits, such as watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, and strawberries, with vibrant colors and a sweet taste.

Fruit platters are not only delicious, but also rich in vitamins and fiber, which are good for your health.

How can you finish a meal without dessert? Even if you're stuffed, you still need some fruit!

"Eat up, eat as much as you can, don't force yourself." He placed the last fruit platter on the table and asked Tom Marvolo Riddle to sit down and eat.

"Mmm, delicious." Tom Marvolo Riddell hadn't expected his adoptive father to be such a good cook. He'd never seen the food on the table prepared this way before; it looked and tasted so good.

"If you like it, learn how to make it so you can cook it yourself later." What's the point of being a devil? Nothing beats the aroma of rice. Being well-fed and watered is the most important thing.

Tom Marvolo Riddell, who couldn't use chopsticks, could only eat bite by bite with a fork.

I'd rather give knives and forks a makeover and say that chopsticks are the proper way to eat Chinese food.

Tom Marvolo Riddell watched as I deftly used two wooden sticks to transfer food from the table into his own bowl.

“I want to learn yours.” Tom Marvolo Riddell thought his fork wasn’t good enough; those two pieces of wood were much more convenient.

"You can learn this with just two pieces of wood. Work hard, I have high hopes for you." It feels like I'm leading a future Voldemort astray.

We actually finished everything. I don't know if it's because of my dragon bloodline or because I'm still growing and eating more and more.

After I finished eating, I lay down on the sofa and watched Tom Marvolo Riddell washing the dishes. Isn't he the perfect family man?

"Tom Marvolo, can you take a bath by yourself?" I asked Tom Marvolo Riddle casually, as I still had a mission to complete and didn't know what to do.

"What?" Tom Marvolo Riddell nearly dropped the plate in his hand.

"It's nothing, you can continue." I'd better not be cheeky anymore, what if Tom Marvolo Riddell throws the plate at me?

"I'm going to take a shower now. I bought some milk in the fridge, so I'll pour myself a glass. I heard that drinking milk can make you grow taller, and as for your current height... see you tomorrow~" Seeing Tom Marvolo Riddle's face getting darker and darker, he immediately ran away.

Tom Marvolo Riddell was gritting his teeth as he washed the dishes; that guy was just awful.

He was standing by the kitchen sink, carefully washing the dishes.

Suddenly, he heard a soft knocking sound coming from the window.

He turned his head and saw Nagini's figure appear outside the window.

Nagini (hissing): Master, I just went out to find something to eat, how did you end up here?

Tom Marvolo Riddell (stops what he's doing, walks to the window, opens it, and lets Nagini in): Come here, Nagini.

Nagini then slipped his hand under Tom Marvolo Riddell's clothes and hid it inside.
