A few minutes later, Elena and the others left the underground vault and returned to the first floor of Hogwarts Castle.

The only difference from the previous one was that in addition to a flat-headed owl, Luna also had a large handful of golden Galleons in her arms - according to Elena, it was a meeting gift for her partner's daughter and future schoolgirl.

Although I don't understand why Elena is so interested in Luna, but considering Elena's age and gender, Xenophilius Lovegood, who has joined the "Hogwarts Foundation" camp by default, is not very worried, if it is a stinky boy, he may be more nervous, girls don't care.

Of course, more importantly, compared to Elena's unimaginable development goals, the rare excitement and smile on Luna's face was what prompted Xenophilius to finally decide to believe in Elena and Dumbledore - he hadn't seen Luna like this for a long time since his wife Pandora died.

As a clumsy single father, Xenophilius knew very well that Luna needed more than just a father, she needed to be accompanied and talked to by her peers, if all this could make Luna a friend...... Even if this friend doesn't look so harmless...... Xenophilius was also satisfied.

"Now, then, allow me to be absent for a moment. ”

Dumbledore smiled and nodded politely to the Lovegood family and Elena.

"There is still some time before lunch starts, and in the meantime, Elena you can take ...... Well, I mean Xenophilius, you can take your daughter around the school for a while. ”

As if suddenly remembering something happy, Dumbledore glanced at a certain white-haired ball, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Elena earnestly and added.

"As for Elena, it's good to be with the Lovegood family a little bit, don't ......"

Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, there was a sudden noisy flutter of wings outside the castle, and Dumbledore raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked up at the sky outside the door.

Following Dumbledore's gaze, he saw a phalanx of owls approaching Hogwarts Castle.

Judging from the flight trajectory, it seemed to be in the direction of Elena and the others, and it flew straight without any circle.

Ten seconds later, the transport brigade of dozens of strong, round-faced fat chickens landed in front of everyone, and as the owl landed, the floor trembled slightly, and several heavy packages fell on the floor.

"Oh, by the way, this is the new issue of "Singing Against the Tune". ”

Looking at Dumbledore, who was a little surprised, Xenophilius Lovegood patted his head and quickly explained, "It's the batch of publications you mentioned in your letter that you purchased collectively for all the teachers and students at Hogwarts. ”

Nearly 1,000 copies of the "Contradiction" stacked on top of each other were quite considerable, and in order to deliver this package on time, Xenophilius Lovegood specially spent "expensive" postage to hire a number of owl messengers.

As for the recipient, it is naturally written by himself.

After all, whether it is the mysterious "A· Neither Albus Dumbledore nor Albus Dumbledore seemed to be an option to receive the letter accurately - and if the package was not signed for a day later, the letter with Dumbledore's signature would be automatically sent to the Daily Prophet, though Xenophilius was not sure how much it would do.

"In the letter?"

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, glanced at Elena beside him, and nodded noncommittally.

"I see, in any case, Miss Kaslana will take care of this matter. We'll see you in Hogwarts Hall later, and if nothing else, the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, and the others will also be in the Great Hall. ”

After saying that, Dumbledore smiled slightly apologetically, and directly apparition disappeared in front of the three.

There is no doubt that Gellert Grindelwald is much better at dealing with Ministry of Magic officials than Dumbledore.

And with Dumbledore's understanding of Grindelwald, in the current situation, Grindelwald would not take the initiative to make any inappropriate remarks or do anything radical in front of those "young people" in the Ministry of Magic.

But even so, there are basic concerns.

Therefore, after making sure that the dust had settled on Elena's side and that there should be no more surprises, Dumbledore was naturally anxious to go back to the other side to find out the progress and status of the discussions in the Headmaster's Office.

"Are all of these this issue of "Singing and Singing"?"

Elena casually opened the corner of a package, glanced at the magazine pattern on the surface, and asked Xenophilius Lovegood behind her.

"That's right, according to what we have communicated before, there are a thousand whole parts here. ”

"That's enough, just put this in a corner of the auditorium for now, and I'll take care of it. Elena thought for a moment, walked over to the empty table in the Great Hall, and tapped the table with her knuckles, "Burleigh, this magazine piled up at the door, I hope to be in front of every student's plate at lunchtime—and turn to the page about the Hogwarts calendar." ”

Hogwarts Castle has all sorts of magical passages, and in her days as Head Chef, Elena has learned that commands from the Great Hall table can be delivered directly to the Hogwarts kitchen directly below.

This is why the school's teachers and students and the Ministry of Magic can summon exactly what they want directly in the Hogwarts Great Hall with just one menu - a bit like a microphone, but not the original sound transmission, but relying on magic to do it, according to the house-elves' explanations, how to accurately identify accents and calibration, and even involve castle magic and elf contract magic.

"Burleigh?"

Xenophilius looked at Elena with some strange eyes, and subconsciously looked around the empty hall.

Syllable. Crackling.

The next moment, only a few small explosions were heard in the auditorium.

Several house-elves wearing Hogwarts-patterned napkins appeared beside Elena, bowing respectfully, with the humility that Lovegood was familiar with, and a touch of reverence that was somewhat different.

"No problem, Chef. Also, today's menu ......"

"Just follow what was laid out yesterday, wait-"

Elena waved her hand, paused suddenly, tapped her fingers thoughtfully on her lips, narrowed her eyes cutely, and whispered slowly and methodically with a hint of danger.

"I thought about it just now, Professor Dumbledore and Mr. Apocalis, these two are not young, and our young people's menus are a little too oily and sugary for them, and they may not be particularly suitable. ”

"You mean ......?"

Burleigh, the house-elf blinked, his eyes wide, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"Do you remember what I said before about the sugar-controlled healthy meal, don't add any oil, boiled potatoes, boiled beef, cabbage just wash and cut it, as for the seasoning, a stack of coarse salt, a stack of devil's pepper sauce is fine. ”

Elena said hatefully, these two wilted old fellows, don't want to eat anything good this week.

I believe that it will not take long for them to understand why there is a saying: no matter who you offend, don't offend the person who cooks at home.

As for whether this diet plan will be implemented, this point is not difficult for Elena at all, and it is only necessary to explain it to Madam Pomfrey, who is responsible for the health management of the school's teachers and students, - the school medical director, who sits on Dumbledore's polygon, must be very careful to supervise Dumbledore's three meals.

After deciding in a few words the miserable food arrangements for the old potatoes and turnips for the coming week, Elena turned and smiled shyly at the stunned Xenophilius Lovegood behind her.

"As you can see, I forgot to mention that, in addition to being a first-year freshman, I'm also the head chef of the Hogwarts kitchen. If nothing else, the entire school kitchen will be fully implemented by me for a long time from now on – and that's where the first graphic material for the future food section of Contrarian comes from, which I talked about below. ”
