Chapter 754: A Friend in Fate
"Alright, it's time, it's time for you to go to your friends......"
As Elena's words fell, the surroundings instantly became clear again.
If it weren't for the sudden extra "Roar Commemorative Coupon" in her hand, Danilova would have almost thought that everything just now was just an illusion, and Elena had already lowered her head and concentrated on breakfast, and had no intention of continuing to talk.
Around them, no one else looked at them, except for Luna Lovegood, who seemed to turn her head to take a second look.
"Elena, I don't understand-"
Danilova squeezed the paper coupon in her hand with some nervousness, plucked up her courage and was about to speak.
Just then, Irina Ivanovich came over.
Not far behind her, dozens of first-year Hufflepuffs, Gryffindors, and Slytherin freshmen were introducing and communicating with each other in twos and threes, and the mighty flow of people was like a landscape that attracted everyone's attention.
"Sorry to excuse me. Excuse me, have you eaten yet?"
Irina's footsteps stopped beside Elena and asked gracefully. The girl's gaze crossed over to Elena and fell on the Ravenclaw first-year student beside her, who was only a little stunned, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
Is this the little witch who came from the same place as her, but from a family of Muggle scholars?
Glancing at Danilova, who was a little dazed, Irina smiled and took the initiative to stretch out her right hand and introduce herself.
"Hello, I'm Irina, Irina Ivanovich, a first-year Slytherin freshman. Hogwarts orientation is about to begin, so let's head to the grounds outside the castle! ”
"Eh, I'm—my name is Danilova and I live in ......."
Facing the imposing Slytherin first-year, Danilova stood up in a panic and replied quickly with some embarrassment, her eyes involuntarily glancing at Elena Kaslana, who was sitting next to her.
I don't know why, Danilova always felt that although Irina's eyes were on her, her attention was on her.
"Come on, freshmen. Welcome to Hogwarts. ”
Elena picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth gracefully, glanced at the little witch who was talking beside her, a meaningful look flashed in her eyes, and said softly in a voice that only they could hear as she stood up and passed by.
"Gotta get along, dear, first-year ones—"
The daughter of a former Soviet nuclear physicist, and the granddaughter of a "wizard traitor" in Chernobyl......
Admittedly, the world was so amazing that even she didn't know what the future would hold - the only thing that was certain was that the world had been different since the moment the two little witches stepped onto the Hyperion.
Elena smiled happily at the two chosen children and walked towards the other end of the auditorium.
The new school year at Hogwarts had just begun, and it would take a long time for these young first-year students to become friends, and Elena wasn't going to play much of a role in that before they wanted to become friends.
At least for Elena at the moment, this is not the most important thing.
According to Hogwarts' second-year schedule, her first class was a math and science class from all four houses together.
Not far away, at the entrance of the auditorium, Hermione and Hannah were already standing there, judging from the looks on the faces of the two little wings who had grown a little longer, if she didn't explain her "rebellion" properly, she would probably have to suffer a little.
It's just that there are only two twelve-year-old girls......
How could the Great Goblin Queen, the third Dark Lord, and the Hogwarts Headmaster be afraid?
"I know what you're trying to ask......"
Elena stopped, and before Hannah and Hermione could speak, she spoke first.
"Well, anyway, you listen to me first-"
"Oh, I wonder what the Hogwarts House Headmaster, the summer homework assigner, has for this reason?"
Hermione snorted, a hint of banter and displeasure in her voice.
At the breakfast table, she had already learned the news from Percy Weasley, and she didn't know which one made her more angry than being tricked into learning a bunch of math that she didn't only learn at a magical university during the holidays.
And what made Hermione even more unhappy was that for the entire summer, Elena barely wrote to her.
"But it's okay, the first class is in the big classroom on the sixth floor of the castle. We can talk as we go......"
"Han, Hannah—" The little hair on top of Elena's head writhed in fear.
"But Elena, you're wearing a Ravenclaw house today......"
Hannah glanced at the blue emblem on Elena's chest and whispered in a quiet tone. At Hogwarts, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw don't have a friendly relationship, as smart people always need something silly to flatter them.
Last night in the common room, Prefect Cedric vaguely thought that she had conveyed the thoughts of everyone in the academy.
If Elena was forced by Professor McGonagall or Professor Dumbledore, then find an opportunity to snatch her back from the Ravenclaw Tower, even if the other three houses came to the door, with the strength of Hufflepuff, there was no need to be afraid.
Hufflepuff finally had the hope of winning seven in a row, and everyone knew where the key points were.
Recalling last night's conversation in the break room, Hannah turned her head to look at the white-haired dumpling beside her and said with a serious expression
"Don't be afraid, Elena. If you're threatened, tell me quietly and we'll help you figure it out. ”
"Huh?!"
......
The road from the castle hall to the classroom on the sixth floor is extraordinarily long.
Having lived at Hogwarts for a whole year, the moving castle was as new to Elena as it was on her first day, but ...... That doesn't mean she doesn't have the most basic concept of path.
"We've definitely gone a long way, for sure!"
Elena looked around and said in a firm tone.
This was the ninth time she had begun to climb the staircase, and her destination was an unfamiliar platform with no references but a beautiful-looking landscape, not even a single figure.
"That's right, do you recall that we've been to a repeating scene?"
Hermione carefully identified the direction, subconsciously avoided Elena's eyes, pointed to the empty corridor in front of her right, and whispered solemnly, "I think it should be this way, but what about later, did Professor Dumbledore say anything?"
"It's really gone, the four academies have teamed up to divide me, there is no conspiracy and oppression......"
Elena sighed helplessly and looked at the two wings beside her, "After coming out of the lounge, I went directly back to the lounge of Ravenclaw College with Luna, and after I went back, I went to sleep directly, and nothing happened." ”
"Well, Elena really wasn't lying this time. ”
Hannah stared at the little hair on top of Elena's head for a few seconds, then turned her head and said.
"Granger, I think it's almost, we're going to be late......"
After more than a year of getting along, "Nanamin" has almost mastered a new polygraph, and compared to the white-haired balls who may open their eyes and tell nonsense at any time, it is always difficult for the dull hair on Elena's head to control her emotions.
"Don't worry, you're in control. ”
Hermione shook her head, casually lifted a curtain next to the right aisle, behind the curtain of the black hole, inside was a narrow, rapidly rotating wooden staircase, glancing at her friends, Hermione said quite proudly.
"Walking this way, Fred told me about a fast-track that leads directly to the Gryffindor common room hallway. ”
"So...... Where the hell are we now?"
The corners of Elena's mouth twitched slightly, and she looked at Hermione helplessly.
For the first time in her life, she experienced the humiliation and helplessness of what it means to be a mermaid - as a road idiot, it was too difficult in this situation, and if she hadn't succeeded in controlling her dull hair just now, she would probably have to go around a few laps.
"Uh, it must be somewhere in the North Tower of Hogwarts—"
Hermione Granger stuck out her tongue before Elena could continue, "Anyway, remember what you promised us on the road, go back to Gryffindor House on Tuesday, and go back to Hufflepuff House on Thursday - classes are still a quarter of an hour away, let's hurry over, if you don't want to be late for the first class of the new semester." ”
“...... Don't worry, I'll be coming to you on Tuesday—"
Elena glanced at Hermione, who was as proud as a little fox, and replied meaningfully.
Now is not the best time to do it, and when this "Calculation Ji", who has the weakest physique, is left alone, she will let Granger understand what it means to be "a gift from all fate, and the price has already been secretly marked".
As for now......
Elena looked at the rebelled and tiger-eyed Tie Hanhan beside her, and a deep helplessness appeared in her heart.
Now, Elena finally experienced the feeling of being constrained by Grindelwald and Dumbledore.
At such a close distance, unless she increased her strength to the point where she couldn't control it in one go, or used some powerful spell that could damage Hannah, she couldn't hold on to the little wings that had already mastered some of her abilities for a split second—especially if they would attack her Dully after being pressed.
Hopefully, things about Irina and Danilova won't come out so quickly, otherwise......
