"Wait, you don't mean to say that you are looking for food directly in the Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest, are you?"

Hagrid was slightly stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief, his head shook, and his face was full of astonishment, "Impossible, first you have to figure it out, this is no ordinary lake or jungle. ”

"Yes, but we're not ordinary non-magicians either. ”

Elena took a step forward, opened her arms to everyone, calmly replied in a nonchalant tone.

"We are, humans, wizards. ”

Click.

As the footsteps of the silver-haired little witch fell gently, a palpitating momentum suddenly spread out from her, and her gaze touched Elena's pale blue eyes, which were as tranquil as the lake before the storm, making all the first-year wizards present suddenly feel that their hearts were skipping a beat.

They had the illusion that they were not seeing a little witch who was less than eleven years old, but the black dragon Nidhogg of Norse mythology who could devour the world. For a moment, they even felt as if the shimmering waves on the surface of the lake, the swaying leaves of the Forbidden Forest froze for a few seconds.

Of course, not everyone felt this way, at least the burly and tall Hagrid didn't have the slightest sense of oppression or air condensation.

In fact, if anything, the appearance of the silver-haired little witch in front of him seemed to have become more intimate in the eyes of the half-blood giant.

It's a completely unreasonable feeling, more like a strange feeling when you meet someone of your kind - but that doesn't stop Hagrid from refuting Elena's point.

"But, no matter what you say...... At least for now, you're still little hairy people who don't know anything. ”

Hagrid's gruff voice broke the sudden solemnity and rescued all the first-year students from suffocation in time.

"What's more, before that, we rarely got our daily food directly from the Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest. ”

He shook his beard and said in a deep voice with a frown, "To be precise, most of Hogwarts' ingredients are purchased in Hogsmeade Village or the surrounding farms. ”

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has coexisted peacefully with the surrounding animals for hundreds of years, and many magical animal communities have moved to the vicinity of the school in search of refuge.

"But are you really doing the right thing, are you really building an extraordinary connection with the animals, are you getting more wizards to love and understand them?"

Elena's eyes flashed, and she asked without thinking, a series of questions that Hagrid couldn't answer for a while.

The answer is no. ”

The silver-haired little witch shook her head and said calmly in a factual tone, "Wizards are still afraid of magical beasts, and similarly, more and more creatures in nature are still dying extinct. ”

"However, this is not out of the question. ”

The girl's gaze slowly crossed over the faces of the little wizards, and an unfathomable look appeared on her face, and she whispered unhurriedly.

For this moment, she has been preparing for a whole month.

"Since time immemorial, there has been an ancient contract between man and the rest of nature. As a special being among human beings who have mastered extraordinary powers, there has always been a group of ancient wizards in this land who have been trying to understand and perceive the deeper relationship between that world and us. They are accustomed to calling themselves druids. ”

On this point, the mixed-race little Meiwa is not entirely talking nonsense.

Before Christianity took over Britain, Gudruidism was the dominant religious organization in Celtic culture in ancient Britain, and can be found in some of the oldest texts of the Muggle and wizarding worlds. (Click here for more information about the Druid Order)

In fact, they were the first wizarding organization to appear in this land. This group of shamans advocates using their special powers to protect nature and bring balance to the world. For example, the famous legendary wizard "Merlin" of the Arthurian period was a member of the Druid Order with great magical abilities.

"Wait...... I did hear Mr. Scamander talk about them, are you a druid?" Hagrid interrupted abruptly at Elena's words.

"No, I just happened to hear some teachings from a wizard who called himself Malfurion. Got some trivial tricks in your hands. ”

Elena shook her head as she spoke, patting her bulging chest gently.

Mutter~?

The golden-red Gryffindor emblem moved, and a sleepy-eyed little owl poked its head out of her knitted neckline and squealed in some confusion.

"We give them a stable place to live, we give them food, or we try not to disturb their lives. ”

The silver-haired little witch gently placed the little owl on her shoulder, took out another piece of toast from her chest, broke off a small piece and handed it to her little pet's mouth, and continued.

"Then, when we need it, rightfully so, they will leave the body to us in return. ”

Goo!⊙▽⊙!

As soon as he opened his beak and happily held the small reserve of bread in his mouth, he stiffened, and stood pitifully on Elena's shoulder, her hairy body trembling and shaking......

Glancing meaningfully at the little owl who had just slept in the principal's office, Elena turned and walked to the lake, crushing the bread in her hand and scattering it.

Not long after, a few splashes and ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake, and several large purple-black fish that Elena had never seen before jumped out of the water and ate the floating bread crumbs.

It's right to think that the fish that can live in the Black Lagoon, which is full of all kinds of magical animals, can be more special than the ordinary big fish in Loch Lomond.

"You see, and to eat the food I delivered means that I am allowed to eat it. Even the closest to nature of the Druid Order would not raise any doubts. ”

The fish in the Black Lake at Hogwarts are really big and beautiful, with such smooth bodies and powerful tails...... Elena couldn't help but lick her lips.

"Well, even if you're right. It's not that I look down on people, to be honest, some of the big fish in the Black Lake are hard for me to catch. If it were you little bits, ten of them would all be pulled into the water. As for the Forbidden Forest, it's even more dangerous, and I don't usually go too deep. ”

After glancing up and down at the little silver-haired witch, Hagrid waved his hand in disapproval.

Mutant fish in the Black Lagoon at Hogwarts?!Dragged into the water?

As if thinking of some bad experience, the corners of Elena's eyes twitched, and the momentum on her body suddenly weakened.

- If you think about it, if she is dragged into the water in front of all the new students, then the majesty of her eldest sister will be completely gone.

"So, it's good that you have Hagrid. The silver-haired little witch blinked, a smile quickly piled up on her face, and said sweetly.

"As Professor Dumbledore's most trusted person, our first-year instructor, the Hogwarts Hunting Ground Guard...... It's just a few big fish, and it's going to be hard for you, right?"

"Oh, of course. ”

Hearing Elena's words, Hagrid proudly puffed up his chest and patted it, grinning happily, "It's not me boasting, even some big guys in the Forbidden Forest are honest when they're around me." ”

"But ......"

The giant scratched his messy hair in anguish, looked at the rock skin cake that had been set aside by the little wizards, and was a little depressed, "Even if I catch these fish, I may not be able to make them delicious." ”

"Don't worry about that!"

Elena's eyes flashed with nostalgia that only she knew, and then she puffed out her chest with confidence, "I know a little bit about cooking, especially how to cook mutant fish. ”
