Chapter 604: Non-Toxic!
Tom Riddle (Remnant state) has escaped from prison.
This was perhaps the only regrettable thing this semester, as Dumbledore and Grindelwald had to eat an extra egg and drink half a glass of milk every morning to ease the unspeakable melancholy and vague worry in their hearts.
However, for Elena, this is not a particularly important thing.
Although she doesn't have the bloodline guardian magic of Harry Potter, as the eldest lady of Destiny, the fairy queen of the Gringotts wizarding bank, and the third generation of the Dark Lord (young), she doesn't need to be on the lookout for revenge from Voldemort or the Death Eaters like other wizards who have offended Voldemort.
In fact, since the brief encounter in the Forbidden Forest, the castle has more than doubled in the eyes of the Devil who is lowly, dirt-eating, noseless, and robbed by the old immortals.
As long as Voldemort still has a little bit of sanity, he will no longer actively approach Hogwarts.
On the other hand, with the Hogwarts freshman team winning the Quidditch Cup, the attitude of Slytherin House did not become as bad as Elena had imagined, but rather showed a ......
Not...... Compare the wonderful state......
"Elena, are you thirsty, I'll ask the house-elves to bring a few handfuls of cold drinks!"
"Elena, do you remember the big herring you saw yesterday? I caught it!"
"Elena, this is the custard tart that just came from the kitchen......"
"Elena,......
"Uh, thank you - that, send the fish directly to the kitchen and make them into fish cutlets!"
Elena sat on the soft armchair in the Slytherin common room, looking through the textbook in front of her, and then took the egg tart handed by her and placed it on the tea tray on her right, looking at the students gathered around her with a little helplessness.
Although the process was slightly different from what she had imagined, overall, the results were good.
Glancing at the senior Slytherin students who were helping her find the next exam materials not far away, Elena took a sip of the chilled watermelon juice in her hand and squinted her eyes happily, recalling a few days ago.
............
A few days ago.
On the night of the end of a Quidditch match.
In order to prevent Malfoy, Goyle, and Crabbe from being bullied for defeating the Slytherins, Elena specially changed into Slytherin uniforms and accompanied the three back to the Slytherin common room to prepare to suppress a possible riot.
However......
"RUA, RUA, RUA, all right! wand ready...... Huh?!"
As Elena walked through the stone walls of the Slytherin common room with her wand held her wand aloft, ready to activate the Deathly Hallows amulet on her chest in response to a possible attack, there was a thunderous applause inside.
The Slytherin students seemed to be gathered in the common room, waiting for her and Draco Malfoy to return, with magical ribbons flying in the doorway and silver, gold magical debris exploding in the dome of the common room.
"Fantastic!" Timothy Rozier clapped vigorously, "what a shocking game! Incredible Quidditch performance! Two teams representing the spirit of old and new Slytherin met in the final, and for the first time ever, only the Slytherin house was on the field in a Quidditch final!
"An unprecedented victory!"
A senior girl with a prefect's badge pinned to her chest shook her fist vigorously, looked at the silver-green Slytherin robes on Elena and the others, and turned her head excitedly and shouted to the girls gathered around her.
"Look! Four Slytherins have swept through Hogwarts!
Next year's Chaser or Seeker position is up to you!"
Marcus Flint also walked over, with a smile on his face that had been gloomy before, and patted Draco Malfoy's back vigorously, his eyes full of excitement and appreciation.
On the other side, batsmen Bol and Derek also squeezed forward, grabbing Goyle and Crabbe's shoulders quite enthusiastically, lamenting the horror of the aftermath and convincing defeat, while praising their wonderful performances in the game.
Draco Malfoy's originally pale and nervous face instantly turned red, and he looked at the crowded and noisy Slytherin common room helplessly, he saw that many senior sisters and girls in the same year were winking and waving at him, and the senior students who had once ignored him with cold faces were now smiling and patting him on the shoulder.
As for Goyle and Crabbe, they stood even more embarrassed, without the slightest momentum that they were ready to do when they first entered the door.
Of course, the central characters at this time are obviously not the three shy little boys.
Having almost single-handedly defeated the other three houses and successfully kept a clean sheet against Slytherin's Queen of the Sky Elena in the final, she is arguably the most dazzling presence in the entire Slytherin common room today.
It's just that Her Royal Highness is actually a little confused now.
"Wait, wait! I'll sort out the logic ......."
Elena lowered her wand and rubbed her forehead, trying to sort out the cacophony of praise around her.
"There were three Slytherin students on the freshman team, so the final was actually a Slytherin house civil war, and the other three houses missed the final for the first time ever...... Then we had a crushing finish in the final...... represents the rise of the Slytherin dynasty ......"
"No, it's four Slytherins!" Marcus Flint corrected earnestly.
Emmmmm......
Well, in a sense, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong......
This way of thinking is really Slytherin, if you can't fight, you will join, and if you can't join, you will surrender early......
Glancing at the Slytherin captain whose name suddenly turned green, Elena lowered her head and looked at the silver-green Slytherin House emblem on her chest, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, she knew that she wouldn't have turned on the buff in advance.
Before Elena was frustrated and frustrated that she could no longer follow Father Priest's instructions and successfully mingle with her classmates, Pansy Parkinson took the initiative to walk over and pull Elena by the sleeve and point into the room.
"Eldest sister, in order to celebrate your victory, everyone also specially prepared a cold lunch. ”
"And a buffet?!"
Elena's eyes lit up, and she looked in the direction of Pansy's finger, only to notice that the drab and cold hall of the Slytherin common room seemed to have been simply decorated and arranged to look like an elaborate European buffet.
Three long tables lined up at the back of the crowd, all covered with white and clean cloths.
All sorts of pies, sandwiches, sausages, and fried fish are served on beautiful silver plates, brightly colored and fragrant cakes and desserts are piled up on large trays, and seven or eight kinds of fruit and cheese cups that have been cut are set aside.
On the table in the center, there is a beautiful cake with silver wings, and the front of the cake is outlined with the words "Hogwarts Moonlight Team" with golden frosting, as well as a delicate and cute golden snitch pattern.
Elena only glanced at it and nodded in satisfaction.
I have to say that although the taste of Slytherin House has undergone some wonderful changes this year, it still has a considerable level and vision in preparing traditional cold dinners, and it is indeed not much more exquisite than the lions who are not picky eaters.
As the head chef at Hogwarts, it was easy for her to see that the portion and variety of food on the table had been fine-tuned.
"Foie gras mini sandwich, smoked salmon mini sandwich, black pepper beef mini sandwich, herb duck breast cut into small pieces, Provencal egg rolls, chicken breast curry with cheese...... The main course was exquisite, nice ......"
In addition, there are smoked chicken breast mini bagels, corn crisps with guacamole, pepper mackerel puff pastry box, shrimp cups with chicken tails, grilled shrimp with garlic cheese, sweet apricot nut cheese biscuits, chives broccoli almond tartart, black pepper mashed potatoes...... Nice......"
The expression on Elena's face grew more satisfied, and it was clear that this was not a simple hodgepodge of supper.
You know, although these dishes can be cooked in the Hogwarts kitchen, the house-elves don't have much experience in cold meal layout and menu selection, and most of these come from the home education of Slytherin students.
As for the all-important desserts, salads and soups, naturally nothing is missing.
"Chocolate Cake, Tropical Fruit Platter, Tiramisu, Chestnut Puree, Blueberry Cheesecake, Mango Mousse Cake, Onion & Mushroom Salad, Coriander & Aloe Salad, Avocado Salmon Salad, Tuna & Crab Fillet Baguette Salad......"
"Traditional Italian bisque, potato carrot lobster soup, broccoli scallop soup, creamy mushroom soup, tomato oxtail soup, French purple potato bisque, onion pumpkin corn soup...... It was impeccable and quite hearty......"
There is no doubt that Slytherin House is a historic and shrewd house.
In the face of such a lovely group of people, even without these foods, Elena had already made up her mind to save them from the shadows of Voldemort's time and return to the noble, elegant and shrewd Slytherin house they once were.
Elena licked her lips slightly, turned her head to look at the little Slytherin wizards behind her who were full of excitement and anticipation, shrugged her shoulders rather helplessly, showed a charming and happy smile, and said very seriously.
"That's right! For our great victory, celebrate! I'll try to see if it's poisonous~"
While speaking, Elena took the initiative to pick up a small piece of vanilla chicken and looked at it carefully, the tender yellow chicken skin wrapped around the chicken showed amazing elasticity under the fork, and there was a layer of transparent clotted fat between the chicken and the chicken skin, indicating that the chicken was roasted very tender.
Dipping casually on the garlic hot sauce on the edge of the table, Elena stuffed the chicken into her mouth expectantly.
Feeling the fat and tenderness of the chicken and the stimulation of the garlic hot sauce blooming on the tip of the tongue, the girl closed her eyes in intoxication, and the fragrance of the herb-grilled chicken gradually spread in her mouth, accompanied by the rich and plump chicken juice.
"Hmm~ah~ It's so delicious...... Well, it's not poisonous!"
Elena opened her eyes happily and smiled at the little wizards in front of her who were desperately swallowing their saliva.
"What are you waiting for? Come and enjoy the food, it's not good to go to bed hungry at night!"
