The Hyderabad Hot House Academy for Culinary Wizards Professor Vin de Loo was taking over the class Harry Pepper was taking in the Defense against the Hot Arts. since Dr Dhansak had sadly been hospitalised by an unprovoked attack by a chicken. Harry just come in from a practice session of the game of garam masala, and was looking forward to the new professor's spicy presentation style. His friends Hermione Ginger and Ron Biryani had cheered him on, when he knocked Draco Madras off of his Ras el hangout with his mace in the game, and were busy cleaning their Jalfrezi steeped quills and rubbing down their papadom parchment with cumin and coriander to clear the previous days chilli infused notes. "So Harry" proclaimed Professor Vin "What do you do when someone brandishes a cinnamon stick at you, eh?". Hermione obviously had her hand up faster than you could say Tikka Masala. But Harry knew the answer to this one, as did Ron. "You trap it in a your pocket tandoor, Professor Vin" said Harry. "Lightly seasoned with turmeric and kashmir red chilli, and a dash of lime dipped prawns". "Not forgetting a spoonful of Ghee", cried Ron, always one for the healthy option. "Well done, Harry and Ron" replied the Professor. "Ten points to Gujarat". Draco scowled as usual, his face looking like someone chewing on lemon grass, probably wondering why he'd every gotten on the 9 3/4 express from Utter Pradesh in the first place. "Proscuitto!" cried Hermione, in a vain attempt to cheer up the Gammon with an age old heart warming recipe. "Quattro Formaggio!, exclaimed Ron, transforming Draco into a Lamborghini Countache. "Putanesca!" declaimed Professor Vin de Loo, restoring everything to its original form.
