Chapter 750: The Task of the Eldest Sister's Head
"Is it so scary? It's just Quidditch......"
Charlie Weasley looked at his two living brothers and shook his head disapprovingly.
Over the years, he had heard his mother's growl in the kitchen more than once, and the twin brothers were the weasleys' rightful trick-or-treaters and pistachios, and such exaggerated descriptions were all too familiar to him.
"George, Fred, if you've ever encountered a grumpy adult female black dragon off the coast of Romania, you'll understand what the most dangerous aerial sport in the world is—"
"Oh, Charlie, it's you who don't understand—that's not the scariest thing. ”
Fred let out a strange scream and waved his hand exaggeratedly, his face appearing as if he were telling a horror story.
"Believe me, death is definitely not the worst thing, Miss Kaslana is much more terrible than the fire dragon. ”
"That's right, my naïve brother, you probably can't imagine the horror of falling from the sky three times in a single day, and then hearing the sentence "You're cured and you can continue flying" the moment you open your eyes—"
George Weasley nodded sadly, shaking involuntarily.
If anything, could be more terrifying than meeting Elena, it was undoubtedly when the captain of their team was a Quidditch fanatic - under the double magic of Wood and Elena, coma was a luxury.
"But you're still going to have to face Elena Kaslana this year, aren't you?"
Hermione Granger raised an eyebrow and glanced at the exaggerated Weasley twins.
"Granger, please, today is the first day of school. George Weasley sighed helplessly.
"Gracious Gryffindor Goddess of Wisdom, can you give us a good meal first. ”
Fred Weasley nodded sadly, raised a glass of milk and drank it down.
"And then after the first Quidditch match, Charlie, do you remember writing to Dad that we didn't disgrace the Weasleys when we faced the Silver Moon Lord at Hogwarts, at least we maintained our dignity as a 'resident ghost'......"
Boom!
Before Fred could finish his sentence, someone suddenly slapped him the shoulder, almost spilling his milk.
Immediately after, a voice of extreme excitement and emotion came from everyone's ears.
"That's different, hey, guys. This year is completely different—"
Everyone turned around and saw a tall, sturdy boy standing behind them at some point.
Oliver Wood, Captain Quidditch of Gryffindor House, is the man who is said to be able to marry a broomsticker.
At this time, Wood's face was filled with the ecstasy that a good man who had been single for many years could finally get married, and first scanned his surroundings with some alertness, making sure that people from other houses were eavesdropping on their conversation, and then lowered his voice and said mysteriously.
"I just met Professor McGonagall on the stairs, guess what she told me, Fred? She said Elena would be joining Gryffindor this year, and in all these years, I never felt like we were so close to the championship – just pass the ball to her and the rest is to see if they can hold on for a few minutes. ”
"Don't be too optimistic, Wood. ”
Fred Weasley pouted at the long table next door.
"There's also Miss Abbot Hannah, who is no less than Elena on Hufflepuff's side, who knocked out a Slytherin player one-on-one in last year's final, do you remember? I heard from my dad that she beat up at least twenty able-bodied drunkards on her summer vacation when she was helping out in her own ruined cauldron bar, and you're sure you could-"
"Then we have at least a ninety-eight-to-eight win rate, so it's not a big problem. ”
Oliver Wood waved his hand nonchalantly, they had played against the freshmen many times in the past year, and he was under the impression that the shortcomings of the other freshmen were very obvious in addition to Elena.
"Trust me, Lady Luck is clearly on our side this year, and as long as we play normally, I really don't know how the other three houses can beat us - ha, unless one of them can catch the Golden Snitch right from the start. ”
“...... Wood, luck this thing might ......"
Hermione moved her lips with some concern, but finally didn't say anything.
As a "chocobo", she doesn't have much say in the Quidditch realm, but in the past year she has seen so many unreasonable "lucky" that she has begun to disbelieve in logical probability.
If Lady Luck was to be in Gryffindor or Hufflepuff......
"Ignore Oliver, Granger. Let him be happy first......"
Percy Weasley shook his head with a smile and took some sausages and roasted tomatoes and pushed them to Hermione.
"You have two new classes in a while, don't you? Hurry up and go to the classroom, and tell us what the math and Chinese classes are all about—to be honest, I don't know how to prepare for them. ”
As she spoke, Percy Weasley gestured to the timetable in front of Hermione.
【9 a.m.: Mathematics and Physics】(All Year 2 students)
【10:30 a.m.: Chinese Class】(All Year 2 students)
Unlike the other previous classes at Hogwarts, the two new classes were both large classes.
In Percy Weasley's impression, it was rare for classes like this to be arranged, except for the Fantastic Beast Protection class, astronomy, where extremely rare animals or celestial phenomena appeared, and all the students of the house had to attend it together.
After all, in the vast majority of classrooms, professors often need to take care of each student's learning situation.
On the other hand, for some reason, these two courses always gave him a vague sense of ominousness—as if there was some terrible devil hidden in them, but he really couldn't imagine what challenges could be in mere arithmetic and reading.
......
Meanwhile, Ravenclaw's long tableside.
Elena also received her new class schedule, or rather a somewhat strange schedule.
"Hmm, it's a real headache, the old potatoes and radishes don't come in handy at all......"
The first lovely Head of Hogwarts frowned, carefully examined the form in his hand, and muttered with some disgust.
"I really don't know if these two guys have been going on for so many years, why don't you buy more books on basic disciplines and read them......"
In addition to the normal learning content, from every afternoon, she also needs to go to the Potions classroom as agreed, as Severus Snape's Potions teaching assistant, responsible for guiding and supervising the students to complete the learning content of "Magichemistry".
After the afternoon classes, she had to spare three days a week, more than two hours a day, to go to the "House Urban Research District" outside the gates of Hogwarts to solve the problems of experts from the former Soviet Union.
It's not just academic confusion, it's more about basic and urgent daily needs.
For example, the electromagnetic chaos in the Hogwarts area has seriously interfered with the operation of electronic equipment, which alone makes it impossible for most scholars to carry out research work normally, and in addition, water sources and biogas also need to be re-planned and sorted out, and in this regard, the facilities provided by Hogwarts are too rudimentary.
And there are many more questions like this......
Building a magical city from scratch is much more difficult than Elena imagined.
After all, whether it's Dumbledore or Grindelwald, they are only good at magic, and they may have a slight advantage in politics, education, and leadership, but this does not give them some basic municipal skills and experience.
"I can't help it, it seems that I was on my own at the beginning. ”
Elena shook her head, she had a lot of ideas about the integration of magic and technology, although most of them may not necessarily point to the most correct result, but for her at this moment, time is the most abundant resource.
"Hey, Elena," Luna looked at the parchment in Elena's hand with some curiosity and frowned slightly, "Do you have such a full schedule at the beginning of this semester?
"Don't worry about that, I still spend most of my time with Hannah. ”
"But you see," Luna corrected with a serious face, "the problem is precisely caused by that small part of the time, at ten o'clock on Monday night, the new energy project team." Next, Tuesday at ten p.m., the Institute of Biology. And-"
Luna looked closely at the dense itinerary and read it with some confusion.
"Wednesday at 10 p.m., Type 2 Containment Contact Project...... Elena, I know there are many mysterious responsibilities, but don't you think you need to do too much every day and take too late? Besides, if it starts at ten o'clock in the evening, can you go in and out of the castle by yourself without fear of getting lost? If it's late, Hannah and I won't be able to get out......"
"Shhhh
"Then you-"
"Don't forget that I can fly. ”
Elena blinked deftly.
"But—"
"It's easy, it's all in my plan! Luna, all you need to do is open the window of the Ravenclaw Tower every night after ten o'clock and quietly light your wand by the window. ”
Elena shook her finger triumphantly and said in a relaxed tone.
"I've thought about it and verified it several times, the sky can't get lost - no matter how complicated the path at Hogwarts Castle is, with a broomstick and a beacon, I can fly straight back. ”
"But I still feel ......," Luna whispered with some unease.
At this moment, a sharp wheezing sound suddenly erupted from the Slytherin long table not far away.
With a series of ping-pong tableware colliding, I saw several little wizards suddenly jump up with red faces, and kept sighing, as if someone had cast a spell, and their lips swollen almost instantly.
And among the freshmen, the only one who didn't jump was the new shadow prefect, Miss Ivanovich.
"It's so spicy, it's so spicy, it's so spicy! What kind of devil's test is this!"
The corners of Irina's eyes twitched slightly, and she looked at the plate of crimson breakfast in front of her with a solemn expression.
If it weren't for the fact that she smelled a trace of ominous smell in advance, she almost followed the other little guys, accidentally treating these dishes as tomato sauce and strawberry jam, and confidently and boldly stuffed them into her mouth.
But even with a slight touch on the tip of her tongue, Irina felt as if she had touched a flame.
Not far from her, four or five upperclassmen looked at her as they picked up a piece of roasted bacon and stirred it in the dead red dipping sauce, then put it in their mouths and chewed slowly.
This, this is ......
The knife and fork in Irina's hand hesitated.
In her original idea, to show her strength, to convince Slytherin House, and then with the dual identity of the shadow prefect and the first-year freshman, she should be able to successfully complete the task proposed by Elena.
In fact, as of today's breakfast, she even thought she had completed the test ahead of schedule.
"What's the matter, Irina, isn't Hogwarts food to your liking?"
Beside Irina Ivanovich, a pale blonde-haired boy glanced at the girl with some curiosity, absentmindedly pushed a stack of bright red devil pepper dipping sauce in front of her, and whispered in a voice that only Irina could hear.
"Eat, Miss Ivanovich, this is also the task of the eldest sister. Hot sauces, durian, coriander, these are the hallmarks of Slytherin House and the rules of entry in the pure-blood world, and if you want to be recognized by everyone, you have to show that you can sit at the same table as everyone...... yes......"
Draco Malfoy gave Irina Ivanovic a faint smile and raised an eyebrow in a friendly manner.
