At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the first-year students in the auditorium.

Hannah, who was sitting next to Elena, even screamed loudly, stretched out her hand and shook the absent-minded silver-haired little Lori vigorously.

"Oh my God, look! what is that. ”

Squeak –

Without paying attention, Elena shook her arm, and the fork in her hand slashed heavily on the golden plate, making a cacophonic sound that made her teeth ache.

The girl immediately shuddered uncomfortably, and quickly threw away the metal fork—a sound that was no less than torture to her—and she could not understand why Europeans were so keen to use metal cutlery.

"What's going on, such a fuss ......"

Elena glared at the culprit beside her, and asked in an unkind tone, the same Hufflepuff House, she has a hundred ways to make Hannah-san realize her mistake.

"Look at the ...... in the sky" The little girl with golden pigtails shrank her head and pointed weakly to the side.

Following Hannah's fingers, Elena looked up in confusion. I saw that about twenty ghosts suddenly floated out of the walls around the auditorium.

These pearly white, translucent ghosts glide across the auditorium and wave to the students in a friendly manner, as if they were the stars of some grand ceremony.

"Relax, these are the ghosts of Hogwarts. Wizards can leave their mark on this world so that they can continue to walk where they have lived and walked. ”

Elena patted Hannah's hand and explained calmly with a smile, looking at the ghosts with a complicated look.

It has to be said that the ghosts of the wizarding world are very wonderful beings, in a sense, they have achieved immortality - the soul, which is precisely the most mysterious link under the technological level of the non-magical world today.

Even according to the Gryffindor House's resident ghost, "Nicol who almost lost his head", paying some high price is enough to make countless people who fear death flock to it.

"If you are interested, you can ask the Gryffindor's resident ghost, Sir Nicholas de Mimci-Boltington, how he can be transformed into a ghost after death. ”

However, what Elena didn't say was that the ghosts of Hogwarts actually had another way of being formed in a more terrifying way - that is, to become the "earthbound spirits" of the castle.

The most obvious examples of this are the girls' bathroom on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle, the "weeping myrtle" who died under the eyes of the basilisk, and Professor Binns Cuthbert, the teacher of the history of magic who truly did his best and died.

This suspicion became more and more certain after she signed a contract with Gringotts: Hogwarts is a very magical creation, and it has a certain chaotic willpower in itself, which is why it can choose the headmaster's legacy and decide whether the magic contract is valid......

It is inferred from this that Hogwarts is likely to create spontaneous magic with the students and teachers in the school.

If a student or teacher dies suddenly, they automatically remain at Hogwarts and become ghosts. (As for why Fred died in battle and didn't return, it may be because the brothers dropped out of school⊙▽⊙)

Elena raised her left hand and stared silently at the invisible pact at the very end of the back of her smooth hand.

She had no doubt that if she died unexpectedly at this time, there was a high chance that her soul would remain in this castle and become the new "Earth Bound Spirit".

"Will you protect this place forever after you die, but you were accidentally overshadowed by Dumbledore. I hope he won't regret it then, after all, ghosts aren't all good-natured children. ”

Elena pursed her lips, smiled maliciously, and raised her head wide-eyed, carefully discerning among the ghosts that appeared.

Unfortunately, until her eyes were a little sour, she could not see a short ghost with a wide face, a big mouth and round eyes, wearing brightly colored clothes, ties, and hats.

"Oh dear, isn't the meal up to your appetite?"

A chubby little friar-like ghost swayed down beside Elena, a kind smile on her chubby round face.

"Or is there any confusion I need help answering?" I suggest you talk as you eat, and the time for dinner is fast approaching. ”

"After all, it looks really good. The Fat Friar Ghost said sadly as he glanced at the temptingly aromatic food on the Hufflepuff table.

"I'm just a little annoyed by the scratching sound of the knife and fork, though. ”

Elena shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, glanced at the metal knife and fork that had been thrown aside, hesitated slightly, took out two wands from her arms, pulled them over the cloth and wiped them carefully.

"Ai ...... Sister Elena, I didn't mean to. I, I'll pour pumpkin juice for you. ”

Little Hannah's smile was a little stiff, she had heard the boy named Ron talk about Elena's brilliant achievements on the train when she was waiting in line for the sorting house just now.

Combined with the magical abilities displayed by the silver-haired girl when she crossed the lake earlier, Hannah couldn't even rise to the courage to resist.

Tuk, tuk, tuk.

Under the shocked gaze of the Fat Friar Ghost and Hannah Abbot, Elena expertly put the two wands together, tapped the ends neatly on the table, and in a magical gesture picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into her mouth.

Well~

Elena narrowed her eyes happily, and sure enough, it was the most comfortable way to eat - it was a wise choice to have Mr. Ollivander polish his wand to the shape above the lower circle.

"Well, thank you. ”

Taking the golden goblet filled with pumpkin juice, Elena glanced at Hannah, who had suddenly become attentive, and turned her head, munching on the beef, and said vaguely to the fat friar.

"Delicious? maybe. If you've been to the mystical East, you'll know what gastronomy is. ”

More than six years of living in an orphanage in the Scottish Highlands has completely smoothed out the pampered picky eating habits in Elena's soul in her previous life. Although she still has a high standard of food, it doesn't mean that she will refuse the food delivered to her mouth.

For a foodie, there is nothing more sympathetic than those who have all kinds of strange taboos.

"Oriental, I heard that it was a terrible and magical place. It's a pity that since turning into ghosts, we can no longer feel the deliciousness of food. ”

The Fat Friar shook his head regretfully, not really wanting to discuss the matter, nodded politely, and staggered forward along the bench.

"Sister Elena, you are ......"

Hannah Abbot, who was on the side, finally couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, stared at the pair of wands in Elena's hand with big eyes, and asked with a slight hesitation.

Hannah Abbot, who came from a magical family, is no stranger to the various uses of wands, but she has never seen a wand directly used as a form of utensils, and it is such a strange way of eating that she has never seen before.

"Oh, that's what you say.

Elena looked around, and in addition to Hannah Abbott, many first-year students and even Hufflepuff seniors in the neighborhood had all looked at her, partly because they heard her about ghosts, but more because they were attracted by the girl's strange way of eating.

It's really a group of curious children, and it seems a bit cruel to simply interpret this as "chopsticks". Elena thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and said leisurely in an unfathomable tone.

"It's actually an ancient way of practicing magic. The wand is an extension of every wizard's body, and cultivating a tacit understanding between himself and the wand is something every wizard must do. Using a wand to assist in feeding strengthens the bond between the person and the wand, and on the other hand, it also exercises the fingers and allows us to perform spell casting movements with dexterity. Of course, this is a more difficult way to practice. Therefore, at the beginning, I recommend that you use a small wooden stick to practice first. ”

"Next, I'm going to show you how. ”

In the eyes of a group of young wizards who seemed to understand whether they understood or not, Elena raised the black walnut "chopsticks" in her hand, accurately picked up a piece of fragrant roasted bacon from Hannah's plate and stuffed it into her mouth, squinted her eyes cutely, and said proudly, "Look, after long-term training, the dexterity of fingers will be several times that of ordinary wizards." ”
