"Hogwarts Castle has a large underground area, it is said that there is only one floor, but in fact it is divided into many areas of different depths. Although the stairs do not move, it is said that there are still individual new students every few years...... Call...... A few freshmen mysteriously disappeared in a labyrinthine underground corridor. If Elena wants to go for a walk in the future, remember to call me to accompany you, you ......"

Between five and six in the morning, the stone corridor outside the Hufflepuff common room echoed with the crackling chatter of little Hannah, interspersed with a few gasps that were too hasty.

"Good good ......"

Looking at the girl in front of her who was wearing pajamas and had just woken up with messy blond hair, the silver-haired little witch who had been menacing before seemed to be a different person, nodding helplessly to deal with it.

If the biggest difference between the two eras, in addition to technology and magic, in Elena's opinion, there is actually one point, that is, in the life of the previous life, it was a very rare situation to be cared for.

As transportation and communication become more and more convenient, everyone is becoming more accustomed to loneliness, politely keeping a distance, being alone and carrying everything silently, and hiding the truth behind the screen...... As usual, sometimes in the dead of night, she would suddenly laugh in front of the computer for a long time, and then laugh and laugh and start crying inexplicably - I wish someone had asked her what she was laughing at, but she didn't.

According to Benitez's evaluation of Elena, she is like a timid hedgehog, always trying to separate herself from the world consciously or unconsciously with various invisible spikes. In fact, what Elena wants to tell the stupid dad is that in twenty years, almost everyone will become such a hedgehog.

"Hey, you're listening to me, you're not kidding. Several senior seniors said that there were terrible monsters hidden under the castle, and if you accidentally encountered them, they would be eaten!" Seeing that the eyes of the silver-haired little witch in front of her began to wander, Hannah raised her hand and shook it vigorously in front of Elena's eyes, and said with a serious face.

Perhaps because she was too impressed by the campus weird talk of the senior students, Hannah, who was not good at words, blushed and longed to learn a magic that could throw all the meanings she wanted to express into other people's heads in one go.

Halfway through her words, Hannah felt her body sink and her whole body was surrounded by a warmth.

"They're all lying to you, stupid Hannah. This is a castle for wizards, and even if there is a monster, it is already very hard for it to try to hide and not be caught and eaten by us, so how dare it run out and eat people in a big way. ”

I saw that Elena's eyes softened slightly, and she sighed helplessly, took off her black wizard robe and wrapped the blonde little Lori who was only wearing a thin pajamas, and gently sealed Hannah's lips with her index finger, and said seriously in an irrefutable tone.

"Alright, that's the end of the discussion. Now, back in the dorm, washing, combing, and changing, we've got seven years to slowly get to know the adorable monsters inside and outside the castle. ”

Half-hugging and half-pushing, Hannah Abbott was pushed back to the Hufflepuff girls' dormitory, and under the girl's somewhat distrustful eyes, Elena trapped herself in a soft chair in the Hufflepuff common room, and sighed helplessly.

In the long run, how could she be willing to leave these lovely children behind in the future to face the terrorist attacks of the second generation of the Dark Lord.

"Shouldn't we think about stopping the iron pot from being stewed in four years......

While waiting for little Hannah to clean up, Elena thought about how to help the "boy who never died" to lighten the burden, and took out an oily paper package from her robe and opened it, containing several pieces of mutated fish wrapped in sweet spices - this is the [Delicious Wind Snake] that the first-year wizards ate at dinner yesterday.

"Well, it seems to be a little cold. ”

A finger touched the cold fish, and Elena frowned.

While eating fish cold is one way to go, silver-haired snackers from the realm of flame cooking clearly prefer steaming hot food. Besides, the mutant fish growing in the black lake is already a bit cold in its flesh, and as a delicate girl who knows how to maintain her health, Elena will not eat cold fish directly in the morning.

Looking around left and right, the silver-haired little witch raised her eyebrows, picked up the fire fork in the lounge and skewered the fish on it, squatted in front of the fireplace, and began to roast the fish with a look of anticipation from the crackling flames.

After peeling off the purple-black scales of the mutant fish, there is a layer of slightly bluish white tender flesh inside, according to Hagrid, it should be due to the long-term consumption of mutated aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, even after a roast, the cold inside still locks most of the nutrients.

While the conventional wisdom is that grilling is not a healthy way to cook, grilled fish is not one of the elements at this point. In fact, if Elena remembers correctly, a study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in the United States more than twenty years later concluded that eating grilled fish once a week is good for brain health.

Because fish contains an omega-3 fatty acid that the body cannot synthesize on its own, long-term intake of this fatty acid will reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Because the high temperature of frying destroys omega-3 fatty acids, grilled fish can preserve more omega-3 fatty acids than fried and fried fish.

"Maybe it's necessary to suggest to Dumbledore that the whole school regularly add a meal of Black Lake mutant fish soup to the whole school?"

Squatting in front of the fireplace, the silver-haired little Lori watched with satisfaction as the surface of the tender white fish gradually dyed with a layer of crispy gold, and the fat fish oil oozed out little by little, dripping into the charcoal fire below, raising a shallow white mist.

In order to preserve the original flavor of the meat as much as possible, Elena used only coarse grains of salt for seasoning when cooking the grilled fish this time, except for a few sweet spices that were applied to the surface to cover the fishy smell.

Perhaps because of her living environment, Elena found that the mutant fish in the Black Lake had a stronger aroma than ordinary fish. The magic fireplace flame is just right, eliminating most of the fireside that needs to be controlled for barbecue.

Soon, the surface of the fish began to make a noise, and more and more hot oil slowly slid down the plump texture of the fish, and people couldn't help but start swallowing.

One of the biggest requirements for cooking is patience.

Elena took a deep breath, a look of intoxication on her face, but the flip in her hand became more and more detailed, and most of the fish oil remained on the surface, forming an enticing bright skin.

Despite being underground, some kind of magic was clearly used in the Hufflepuff Lounge, and the air was not frozen and closed, and a gentle breeze was felt from time to time.

With the air flow in the lounge, the charming aroma of grilled fish that permeated the lounge quickly began to waft towards the men's and women's dormitories on both sides.

"It's so fragrant......"

"What aroma?"

"Oh my God, did someone bring the food from the kitchen to the break room?!"

"Have you opened your meal......"

One Hufflepuff student after another, dressed in pajamas, rubbed his eyes and slowly walked out following the aroma......
