Chapter 22: Two or Three Things on the Eve of Departure

"Hmm, did you hide something in your clothes?"

Benitez suddenly noticed that the silver-haired little Lori's small breasts were bulging in front of her, as if something was stuffed.

"By the way, the parchment hidden behind the frame......"

Following Benitez's gaze, Elena looked at her chest and remembered the old parchment she had picked up in Dumbledore's office in the afternoon. Because of the series of things that followed, if Benitez hadn't mentioned it, she almost forgot to open it to see what was inside.

"I don't know, but I think it's just a spell, a potion recipe, or some kind of literature. ”

Elena shook her head, and as she spoke, she took the yellowed parchment from her clothes and glanced at it curiously.

The first thing that catches your eye is a huge snake-like S-shaped emblem, which looks a bit like the Slytherin logo, but is more quaint and mysterious. Underneath this emblem are several strange marks that are slightly faded.

A little further down, there is a dense line of text, and the first sentence at the beginning is-

[This land registration document is hereby used to certify that the great Slytherin family has forever the right to the following lands, registrar, Salazar Slytherin ......].

"Land registration certificate?!"

Elena shook her little hand and swallowed.

Like most countries in the world, the UK has a title registration system, and land in the UK can be registered in the form of absolute titles, limited titles, possession titles or valid leasehold titles.

The so-called land registration is actually the registration of the land and its buildings, i.e. the registration of real estate or immovable property. For the land carrying the buildings, in line with the principle that the house belongs to the land and the house goes with the land, the land ownership certificate and the attached parcel cadastral map are stated in words and graphics.

Elena didn't even have to read the details of the text, the familiar castle building drawn under the parchment was enough to explain it all, and the fluttering parchment seemed to become hot and heavy in an instant.

"Elena, what is this?"

Benitez's voice seemed to come from far away, waking up the silver-haired little Lori, whose brain was blank.

Elena slammed into a spirit, and in a panic folded the yellowed stack of parchment in her hand, and thrust it back into her chest, as if her heart was about to jump out.

What to do?!What to do?!

She accidentally took the title deed certificate from Hogwarts?!

"Nothing...... Just a very powerful, very powerful, magic spell. ”

Elena took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and replied in a slightly trembling tone.

β€œ......”

Benitez glanced at Elena silently, although he couldn't read the contents clearly because of the angle, but the complex graphic record was more like some kind of document or contract than a spell.

"Is it dangerous?" Benitez crouched down, his brown eyes meeting Elena's gaze.

"It's not dangerous, but it's tricky. ”

Elena thought about it carefully, shook her head and pleaded in a low voice, "Anyway, it's good that you didn't see this matter, Daddy." ”

"Okay. ”

The man carefully confirmed the expression of the silver-haired little Lori, and after a slight hesitation for a second or two, his brows loosened and he nodded.

Standing up, Benitez walked to the door, took out a stack of banknotes from the coat pocket on the hanger, put it in Elena's hand, and said.

"By the way, I heard Professor McGonagall say that pounds sterling can be exchanged for wizards' coins, so I took a thousand pounds out of the bank today. ”

"No, Professor Dumbledore said that Hogwarts has a bursary for every orphan, and this money is left to Bran and them......"

Elena scratched her cheek and raised her hand without hesitation, ready to slip the money back into Benitez's generous hand.

"I've helped you refuse, about the bursary. Benitez said calmly.

"Huh, are you stupid...... "The silver-haired little Lori stared, she was still preparing to rob a wave of Dumbledore, a hidden local tyrant wizard, tomorrow.

The expression on Benitez's face flashed with tenderness, and his palm stroked the girl's long silky silver hair, "I can fully afford your schooling, and I don't want to cause you to be ridiculed by your classmates in your new school for a little bursary." ”

"But ......"

"You're not an orphan, Elena!"

Benitez raised his voice, interrupted the little girl's grumbling, and said in a deep voice.

Elena looked up, the shadow of Benitez reflected in the lake-blue pupils, and the man looked a little flustered and expectant, but more of a doting look like his fatherβ€”as if Elena had been trying not to think of the look of the rickety figure in her previous life.

β€œ......”

"As I said, don't keep touching my head. ”

After a few seconds of silence, the silver-haired little Lori shook her head in dissatisfaction and turned around to prevent the man from seeing her expression.

β€œ...... When you're done, help me wash my hair, it's greasy and uncomfortable. ”

"Daddy. ”

............

The next day, before dawn, Elena had already gotten out of bed.

After a little freshening, the girl rubbed her eyes as usual and walked to the kitchen, where she had to get up a little early to make sure the rest of the children were ready for breakfast.

But to her surprise, when she arrived, there was already someone busy in the kitchen.

"Good morning, Elena. ”

Hearing footsteps, Benitez turned around and said hello with a smile.

"Ho~ Morning, daddy......"

The silver-haired little Lori rubbed her eyes and replied subconsciously with a yawn, as she spoke, the girl's blank eyes slowly fell on Benitez's face, gradually focusing.

"Wait, why are you getting up, it's almost all right, you lie down for me!"

Elena said angrily with a small face, crossed her waist, pointed her fingers out of the door, and said angrily.

"Rest assured, I'm fully recovered. Thanks to Professor McGonagall's help, I've never felt so healthy before. ”

Benitez laughed, and as he spoke, he bent his arms and showed off his strong biceps, the muscles on his thick and powerful arms bulged high, full of powerful curves, enough to make most girls scream.

"Even if you are well, according to the agreement, the kitchen is my territory, let me go out and go out!"

Elena rolled her eyes unmoved, put her hands on Benitez's back, and pushed him out of the doorway.

Although Benitez's cooking skills are not the usual British dark cuisine, they are only slightly above the passing line. Not to mention, since she started taking over the orphanage food, Benitez has barely cooked.

"You can rest today, you only washed your hair last night, and the omelette will get dirty again. ”

Benitez raised his hand, wanted to habitually rub the little head in front of his chest, thought about it, and finally put it on the girl's slender shoulder, effortlessly turned Elena in the direction and pushed out of the kitchen in turn.

"Besides, what will you do when you go to school, you have to let me practice my hands first, and get back to feel good, go back and change into new clothes, and then wait for the Hogwarts professor to come and take you to the shopping. Here I am, rest assured. ”

"No, what you're doing is really bad......"

Syllable!

Just when the two were still at a stalemate, there was a crisp sound in the air outside the door.

"Sorry, it looks like I arrived a little early. ”

Dumbledore's gentle voice came through the door, "If you don't mind, would you like to let the children try the breakfast prepared in the Hogwarts kitchens?" ”
