Chapter 426: Peaceful Days (Ask for Subscription! Ask for a Monthly Pass)
"Well, don't think about it so much yet, forage for food!"
Touching her shriveled little belly, Elena's eyes gradually became firm, and she nodded vigorously.
And the place that is easy to fill your stomach at the moment is naturally the Hogwarts kitchen, which has almost become her shape.
Although she has already lost someone once, in line with the principle that losing one less time is once, Elena still wants to try to struggle one last time and save a little bit of dignity that belongs to the eldest sister.
In any case, the way back to the Hogwarts kitchen from the Ravenclaw common room would no longer have Luna to help show the way.
Elena cleared her throat slightly contrivedly, and after seeing that Luna's attention had been captured, she turned to the door of the Ravenclaw common room, raised her hand and snapped her fingers gracefully, and whispered into the empty air.
"What about the people on duty today? Now, take me to the Hogwarts kitchens. β
Syllable. There was a slight explosion in the air.
The next moment, a house-elf dressed in brownish-green and wearing a Hogwarts tea towel on his chest appeared in front of Elena and Luna, bowed respectfully, and replied in an extremely standard voice.
βOuiοΌ ChefοΌβ
"The Hogwarts kitchen has all the preparations in place and is ready to cook. β
After a few weeks of training, the house-elves in the Hogwarts kitchens have become more and more standardized, and their mannerisms are preceded by the appearance of a star-rated restaurant chef that Elena is all too familiar with.
"Very well," Elena narrowed her eyes and nodded in satisfaction, reaching out to Luna behind her, the little hair on her head twitching proudly, and said with a smile, "Luna, are you hungry? I'll take you to breakfast." β
As for the question bank of the Bronze Eagle Ring, I am not in a hurry to update it for the time being.
As the saying goes, only if you have it and then lose it, you will know how to cherish it more, let the Ravenclaw eaglets experience the softness and comfort of the dormitory bed more, and in the future, when facing the math course, they will pay more attention to and work hard.
......
Over the next three days, Elena finally got a taste of ordinary campus life.
Although her daily schedule is still quite busy compared to the rest of the first-year students, it is no longer full of uncertain accidents, and most things are like tightly bitten gears, turning smoothly and precisely.
Regarding the review of "New Singing and Contrarian", it is not as heavy as Elena originally imagined.
Mr. Lovegood sent a letter on Monday afternoon saying that a group of unpaid, elderly readers near his home could help review and sift through submissions for the new issue β needless to say, Elena could guess where the seniors had migrated from.
Ginger is still old and spicy, as the first Dark Lord who came from the wizarding wars of that year, Gellert who has witnessed too many conspiracies and dirty methods?? Grindelwald is indeed much more thoughtful than she is when it comes to speculating about human nature.
Such a group of elite saints who have survived several wizarding wars, if they fight alone, maybe Voldemort's Death Eaters can rely on their young advantage to gain the upper hand, but once the number of people expands to multi-person squad confrontation, then the ending is mostly unilateral.
If nothing else, Xenophilius?? Lovegood had probably guessed the true identity of these old foreigners, but for him, who had long been tied to the chariot, the truth of these things was actually not so important.
Even if these ancestors said that they grew up watching "Singing and Singing", and now they want to come over to help, Xenophilius can only smile and nod his head to admit - he can't run away, he can't beat him, and when it is useless to even "call the police", it is natural that what they say is what they say.
And with such a group of experienced and powerful magical staff, the work of Elena and the others in the school was naturally easier at once.
Aside from taking a few food photos a day, there's not much to worry about.
In such a relaxed and bland rhythm of campus life, Luna, as a transfer student?? Lovegood also quickly integrated into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and almost became the "pet of Gryffindor" House.
Strictly speaking, Hogwarts is actually a relatively simple school of witchcraft and wizardry.
For this "Class of 92" elementary school girl who holds the camera and "New Singing and Singing Contrarian" every day, shuttles between the auditorium and the castle, and enthusiastically takes pictures for various students, almost no little wizard can resist those big eyes full of curiosity.
Of course, there are still a few guys who don't have long eyes once in a while......
It's just that usually before Elena makes a move, she is already attacked by a group of senior students who are fighting around her, which makes Elena who has always been eager to show her skills very helpless - due to the constraints of the oath on her left hand, her strength must be taken first.
On the other hand, in the eyes of the professors, Luna?? Except for the occasional moment of being in a daze and talking childish nonsense that no one could understand, Lovegood was a pretty good student.
Maybe it's inherited from her mother Pandora?? Lovegood's talent for magic spells, ten-year-old Luna can be regarded as the best group of little witches even in the first year of high school in Ravenclaw College.
After a few Charms lessons, she had fully caught up with the pace of teaching that had fallen behind.
Although she may not have been as solid and accurate in her grasp of the basics as Hermione, Luna actually surpassed Hermione slightly in terms of her ability to learn spells - in the next few Charms classes, Luna was the first to successfully cast Professor Flitwick's spells.
Not only that, but with the help of Professor Flitwick, Luna even tried to improve some simple spells, such as omitting a syllable or two or changing the trajectory of her cane.
This is not a shocking skill for senior students, after all, most people can do a simplified casting of some commonly used life spells after graduation.
But considering Luna's current age, if it weren't for the fact that there was another more bechanting white-haired man, Luna might have been the best Charms seedling at Hogwarts in recent years.
In fact, the professors of all the courses had a pretty good opinion of Luna.
Even if the temporary substitute Gellert?? Grindelwald also had to admit that Elena, the lucky little girl, had accidentally picked up another treasure girl, not to mention Professor Flitwick, who was in charge of the Charms class.
You know, because of Luna's choice of attendants and accommodation, the always easy-going head of Ravenclaw, Professor Flitwick, has argued with Professor McGonagall several times, and finally even got to Dumbledore's office.
Although in the end still respect Luna's meaning, for the time being by Gryffindor Hermione?? Granger provides one-on-one mentoring.
But everyone could see that in Professor Flitwick's eyes, Luna?? Lovegood was already wearing a Ravenclaw robe, but he was temporarily sleeping in the common rooms of the other colleges.
Because of this relationship, the Ravenclaw students naturally assigned Luna to their own house, and every time she passed by the Ravenclaw table, Luna always had several extra fruits in her arms.
In general, everything seems to have returned to calm.
Feeling Luna's silent challenge, Hermione, who had always been strong, didn't say anything, but secretly worked harder than usual, spending at least an extra hour in the library every day.
Under the infection of this atmosphere, whether it is Hannah, Luna, or even Elena, they have unconsciously become more assimilated, and in addition to the work of communicating "New Singing and Singing", every day is more spent in the full and meaningful learning time of you catching up with me.
Facing Elena, who has finally settled down, Albus?? Dumbledore finally put his mind at ease, even if he was still eating a simple and healthy "sugar control and healthy diet" these days, the old man felt a lot more relaxed and comfortable.
Sure enough, as long as Elena doesn't do anything, Hogwarts is still the calm magical campus he is familiar with.
And so the time crept on, Wednesday, September 25, 1991.
......
"Whew, it's finally Wednesday again. β
Elena happily slice the grilled sausages on her plate, in a pretty good mood.
"Elena, I won't lose to you this time, I will, I will make you admit defeat and beg for mercy. β
Hermione snorted, her eyes glinting with eagerness.
"Throw in the towel and beg for mercy, is there any game today?" Luna blinked in confusion.
"Of course, Luna, you can come along. β
Elena glanced at Little Moon, who was sitting next to Hermione, and smiled evilly and took the initiative to expand the battle.
"Alas...... I don't think there's anything good about Wednesday to be bullied by you again. β
Glancing at Hermione and Elena, who had been fighting each other since early in the morning, Hannah?? Abbot sighed helplessly, and turned his head to Luna, who was a little dazed?? Lovegood explained quietly.
"The content of the game is to see who can answer more questions today, and I am still in charge of refereeing, so I will not participate. β
Wednesday is undoubtedly the most special day for these girls.
Because it was only this day, all their classes were arranged together throughout the day, instead of staggering classes from time to time as they did on other days, with the young wizards of the other two houses.
After a few weeks of familiarization, Elena, who had been a little reserved in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, was completely relieved and began to raise her hand boldly to ask questions, or take the initiative to answer Quirrell's questions in class.
I have to say that there is actually some truth in Umbridge's evaluation in the original book, purely in terms of teaching quality and attitude, although Professor Quirrell deliberately pretended to stutter, but overall it is quite good.
In order to conceal his true purpose as much as possible, Quirinus?? Quirrell was truly impartial in class, just quietly being a regular Defence Against the Dark Arts professor who kept to himself and worked hard.
Whether it's the interpretation of the content in the textbook, or the way to deal with some common dark magic creatures, Quirrell doesn't have too many eye-catching teaching activities, but it can be said that the introduction of basic skills is impeccable.
This is not surprising, not to mention Voldemort's vast knowledge and Quirinus who graduated from Ravenclaw?? Quirrell was already well-known in the wizarding world because of his talent, so he was invited by Dumbledore to become a professor at Hogwarts.
In fact, in terms of time, Professor Quirrell is half the person who has broken the curse that the "Defence Against the Dark Arts" can only serve for one year - judging by the resumes of Hogwarts' faculty and staff, Professor Quirrell has actually joined Hogwarts as a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor since last year.
It's just that at the beginning of 1991, Quirinas ?? Quirrell applied to the school for a year off, wanting to take some time off to gain hands-on experience in Defence Against the Dark Arts.
And when he returned to Hogwarts and continued teaching, everything changed......
Of course, Professor Quirrell's future is not in Elena's considerations, and for Elena, who is in the interests of the people, she just needs to know that it is easiest to earn points by answering questions in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class.
You know, in the face of a professor who stutters, the biggest point of brushing is that you can rush to answer, or take the initiative to help the professor fill in the content that he didn't have time to say - after all, it's hard to distinguish when to ask a question and when to deliberately wait for students to answer, isn't it?
"But...... I don't get extra points for answering questions......"
After listening to Hannah's explanation, Luna looked at Elena with some hesitation and whispered.
That being said, but from Luna?? In Lovegood's equally eager eyes, Elena knew very clearly that in the face of such an interesting quiz competition, Luna was really interested.
"It's okay, Hannah as the referee. We don't count the winners by the extra points, but by the absolute value of the correct answers to the questions - as for the final rewards and punishments, it is still the same as before, the winner takes all, and the two losers can be designated to have a big adventure or the truth. β
"I have no opinion, Danzi, it must be you who loses this time. β
Thinking back to her last "big adventure", Hermione's cheeks unconsciously flushed, and she bit her lip in response.
"Well, I'm participating, too!" Luna looked at the two of them, thought for a moment, and decided to join - I didn't know what exactly "big adventure" or "truth or dare" meant, but it seemed like a lot of fun.
It's over, these two little girls are going to send them again......
Hannah patted her forehead helplessly, but fortunately, as a referee, she just needs to watch the show quietly, what if a miracle happens?
"Ahem, ahem, ahem"
At that moment, a deliberate coughing sound came from the girls' side, interrupting Hannah's thoughts.
At some point, Professor Snape had come up behind them, as if he wanted to say something to them.
