It didn't take long for the children in the orphanage to wake up, wash up as usual, and then obediently go to the dining room to wait for the meal to start.

After all the unexpected surprises of Elena over the years, the children showed a high level of acceptance for a luxurious breakfast that significantly exceeded the normal specifications.

After all, after anyone who has experienced something like a whole fish feast breakfast that can feed almost fifty full-grown strong men, many things are not so impactful.

After Benitez briefly explained that the breakfast was sponsored by the generous Professor Dumbledore, the children's curiosity instantly shifted to their attention to food.

"Ahem. ”

Elena stood up, propped her hands on the table, stood on tiptoe, cleared her throat, looked around, and whispered to the children to thank Dumbledore.

"Before we begin our meal, we would like to thank Professor Dumbledore, who is sitting next to me, for his generosity has made it possible for us to have this hearty breakfast today. ”

Facing the childish and serious thanks of a group of children under the age of ten, Dumbledore smiled and was about to speak.

"It's not just today. ”

At this moment, Dumbledore's ears rang with the crisp voice of the silver-haired little Lori.

Professor Dumbledore had agreed, and he would serve breakfast for free in the orphanage. ”

？？？

The old man's long silver-white beard shook, the smile on his face stiffened slightly, and he looked at Elena beside him in confusion.

"Really?!"

"Wow, that's great, long live Sister Elena. ”

"Will I be able to eat these every day in the future?"

Before Dumbledore could refute, it was as if a scoop of cold water had been poured directly into the boiling oil, and the children instantly exploded the pot with their chirp.

"Hey, no......"

Unprepared, Dumbledore showed a rare hint of confusion, trying to sort out the logic.

"Professor Dumbledore, if you're feeling embarrassed, of course I'll continue to prepare breakfast for you in the future, but that's ......"

Elena tugged at Dumbledore's sleeve with her left hand, intentionally or unintentionally showing the back of her hand in front of Dumbledore, and whispered.

“...... This is the only time, and then you can go to school with peace of mind. ”

Dumbledore didn't directly refuse or agree, but raised his eyebrows, looked into Elena's eyes, and asked softly.

For Hogwarts, it wasn't too much of a problem to afford an extra breakfast in a miniature orphanage of less than 10 people, after all, it was also located in the Scottish Highlands, and the two were actually not too far apart.

If this could completely block the restless little girl's other requests, it would be worth it in Dumbledore's eyes.

"Only this once. ”

Seeing that Dumbledore was loose, Elena nodded vigorously, a pair of big eyes quickly flickering up and down, shaking Dumbledore's sleeves, and said coquettishly in a sweet and glutinous tone.

"If only lunch and dinner could be included. I promise that I will go to school obediently in the future and will not make any other requests. Please~"

If it weren't for today's reminder, she almost forgot that after she went to Hogwarts, the responsibility of eating three meals a day in the orphanage had fallen back on Benitez's shoulders.

If the orphanage had been able to keep up with the Hogwarts food as it is today, Benitez would have been much less stressed.

At least Benitez won't have to secretly fight black boxing or do something more dangerous by himself in order to raise money.

This is the last patch she made for the orphanage.

“......”

Dumbledore didn't speak, his blue eyes quietly looking at the half-breed girl, as if trying to see through what was really going on in her heart.

"No, I'll pay Hogwarts for the cost of food at the orphanage. ”

Elena looked up at Dumbledore for a moment, then finally retreated and made a small concession.

A smile appeared on the corner of Dumbledore's mouth, and his eyes turned around in the eyes full of hope and joy around him, and he bowed his head slightly, and replied in a clear tone.

"That's right. And it's not just breakfast, we're going to serve you three meals a day from today onwards. ”

"Okay, that's a deal. We're not going to talk about it anymore. ”

After receiving Dumbledore's affirmative answer, the silver-haired little Lori hurriedly followed up with a confirmation sentence, and quickly announced the end of the topic.

Then Elena turned pale, clapped her palms vigorously, and looked at the children gathered around the two of them.

"Okay, okay, thank you almost. Everyone hurried back to their seats and had a good meal. ”

"Oh-"

The cafeteria resounded with the sound of wooden chairs scraping against the floor, and the crisp clashing of knives and forks against plates.

Most of the children obediently obeyed Elena's instructions and returned to their seats and began to eat.

But Bran, who usually listened to Elena the most, stood in place at this moment, looked at Elena who had already started a little crampedly, gritted his teeth, and plucked up the courage to ask suddenly.

"Sister Elena, you don't want us, do you? Won't you give us an omelette in the future? Then I won't eat this......"

Unlike most children who are tempted by a hearty breakfast, Bran suddenly had a feeling that Elena was about to leave after listening to the words of the old man who suddenly appeared.

With Bran's voice, the whole dining room fell silent for a moment, and all the children stopped what they were doing and looked up at Elena.

"I ......"

"Don't worry, Sister Elena just went to a boarding school next door. During the holidays, I will come back to see everyone. ”

In Dumbledore's speechless eyes, Benitez, who was sitting on the side, stretched out his hand, gently touched Elena's head, and explained to the other children with a smile.

"Is it because you opened the letter?"

The orphanage's number one curious baby, Bran, continued to ask.

"Hey? ”

Elena tilted her head for some reason, picked up a piece of grilled herring and stuffed it into her mouth, and asked vaguely.

"Didn't you say that we could drink Scottish round-faced fat chicken soup every day until you opened that envelope?"

Poof!cough-cough-cough......

Hearing Bran's question, Elena suddenly let out a violent cough and glanced at Dumbledore beside her with a little embarrassment.

The silver-haired little Lori looked embarrassed, looked left and right, grabbed a piece of buttered toast and stuffed it into Little Bran's mouth.

"Alright, concentrate on eating, don't talk!"

"Haha, Bran, you're so stupid. ”

The older child next to him gloated and patted Bran on the shoulder and corrected with a look of disgust.

"Sister Elena didn't say before that those fat chickens flew from a chicken farm called Hogwarts, what does it have to do with the letter? ”

Elena's face grew more and more embarrassed, and she picked up the spoon and knocked on the door of the older kid next to Bran.

"Just count you smart, eat breakfast quietly! ”

After all, she had just blackmailed a long-term meal ticket from Dumbledore for the orphanage, and it was a bit inappropriate to say this at this time.

Scottish round-faced fat chickens, will they keep coming to Hogwarts chicken farms without opening letters?

Dumbledore turned his head to look at the silver-haired little Lori who reacted violently, and there was a hint of strangeness on his face - it seems that this half-breed little girl has specially studied it in order to eat the owl of the school.

"Ahem, Professor Dumbledore, I'm done eating, I'm going to change my clothes first. Let's go straight to the road!"

Elena swallowed the food in her mouth, put down her knife and fork, smiled awkwardly but politely, and slipped quickly from the table to her room.
