Diagon Lane, London, England.

The most popular ice cream shop for kids.

"Do you need to write anything on the cake?" Professor Dumbledore. ”

"Just write -- Happy 11th birthday to Elena Kaslana -- okay. ”

There is no doubt that the Hogwarts kitchen can also make birthday cakes, but this will definitely know that Elena as the head chef will know that they are preparing a birthday present for her, and there will be a little less surprise in it.

You know, although in the eyes of most professors, Elena is at best a potential student with good cooking skills, good talents, and worthy of attention, at most she will have some surprising magic skills and whimsy.

Even if she now seems to be in control of the Hogwarts kitchen, it is only a temporary right granted to her by the school, which can be taken back at any time - at the end of the day, she doesn't look so different from the Hogwarts student president.

However, for Dumbledore and Grindelwald, Elena, who suddenly appeared in their sights, can be said to be the future star and heir who carries Hogwarts and even the entire wizarding world.

In particular, Gellert Grindelwald, who experienced the incident at Newmondard Castle, almost regarded Elena as half of his own granddaughter, while Albus Dumbledore was slightly different, but it was not too different.

Therefore, Dumbledore and Grindelwald came to Diagon Alley to order a birthday cake for Elena.

"This level of refinement should satisfy the child. ”

Looking at the beautiful Hogwarts castle-like cake in front of him, Albus Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction, pursed his lips thoughtfully, and blinked at the clerk before adding.

"Trouble adding a little more raspberry jam if you can. ”

In all fairness, on such a relaxed and cheerful day, Dumbledore, as the cake giver, felt that he could still get a lot of birthday cakes, so the taste should be adjusted in the direction he liked.

"Hey, Albus, give me some more gold gallons. ”

Just as Dumbledore was thinking about what fruit to add, he suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder.

Turning his head, he saw Gellert Grindelwald holding a long, delicately wrapped strip of cloth and smiling.

"What kind of light wheel 2000 set of boxes, a little more expensive than I imagined, the money you just gave is only the price of a broom, not including care boxes, posters, replacement accessories, etc. ”

Although Grindelwald had already given Elena a small pet, it was technically just a tie with Dumbledore - after all, the child's first owl was given by Dumbledore.

Therefore, additional birthday gifts naturally need to be made up.

"By the way, Albus......" Grindelwald asked curiously as he counted the coins Dumbledore had given him, "aren't you worried that the little girl will be doing things at the school during your time away from school?"

"Don't worry, it's her birthday. Who would take the initiative to cause trouble on their birthday?"

Dumbledore smiled and shook his head, the expression on his face unusually relaxed.

"And if nothing else, they should have gone to Hagrid's side this afternoon to play with Louwe, and with Severus's shrinking potion, Louwei has become a little milk dog, and there is no need to worry about any trouble. ”

"That's right, it's really hard to stop a lot these days, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it......"

Grindelwald thought about it carefully and nodded approvingly, since Elena had focused on studying and "New Singing and Contrarian", he and Dumbledore had finally been able to sleep peacefully these nights.

"Alright, let's go back as soon as we buy something. Don't keep that kid waiting. ”

"Wait a minute, shall we go straight back to your office, or shall we go to Hagrid?"

"Let's go back to the principal's office first, don't be too public, otherwise other students will have opinions when they see it. ”

"Okay, listen to you. ”

......

Meanwhile, Hagrid's cabin.

There isn't much to tell about the story of Lou Wei.

After all, according to Rubeus Hagrid, the three-headed dog Louwe had bought from a Greek wizard he had met in a tavern the previous year, and the total time they spent together was just over a year.

Moreover, at that time, Lu Wei was actually not a "little" dog in the true sense of the word.

It's just that compared to the half-blood giants whose physique surpassed ordinary people, Lu Wei, who could hold and easily knock down with his fists at that time, could barely use the word "childhood" to modify it.

And the whole process of cultivating trust is much more difficult than someone like Elena who has an "old grandfather" to help him open.

“...... Later, at the beginning of the year, Professor Dumbledore asked me to let Lowe guard it...... Oh hell, I can't say that. As for what happened after that, Elena knew better than I did. ”

Hagrid was in the middle of his sentence when he suddenly bit his tongue alertly and forcibly diverted the subject.

"By the way, what was Lu Wei guarding before?" asked Hermione, curious.

"This is Hogwarts Secret No. 1! It has nothing to do with you, and don't ask again. ”

Hagrid put the teapot down heavily, interrupting in a rough voice of annoyance.

"If you don't want to be expelled from the school, you'd better follow Professor Dumbledore's instructions and don't approach the forbidden hallway on the third floor, I'm not going to tell you anything anyway......"

"It's the Philosopher's Stone, Mr. Nicol Lemay. ”

Before Hagrid could finish speaking, Elena continued to answer Hermione's questions casually as she rubbed her little marinated belly—as if recognizing her position, the three-headed puppy had completely given up struggling.

"If you don't know what a philosopher's stone is, you can check out the books related to alchemy, most of them will talk about this thing. Don't look at me like that, Hagrid—"

Elena glanced at Hagrid, who was full of shock, and said in a calm tone,

"A lot of this is written on the back of Professor Dumbledore's Chocolate Frog card, and you can guess it with a little attention. And don't forget, I'm a teaching assistant in Potions. Rest assured, none of you here has any interest in the Philosopher's Stone. ”

"Ahem, ahem. Hmm...... Well, but this matter still has to be kept secret after all. ””

Hagrid let out a sharp cough and said quickly with an embarrassed face, "Yes! You know there are a lot of bad guys in the wizarding world. If it were known that the Philosopher's Stone was hidden in Hogwarts, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Why don't we talk about something else......"

"Anything else? ”

Elena raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"By the way, Hagrid, why don't you tell us the story of the eight-eyed spider. I remember you raised eight-eyed spiders, right?"

Speaking of which, she has always wondered which is more powerful, the fire-breathing three-headed dog of hell or the legendary terrifying and cruel eight-eyed giant spider.

As for the topic of the eight-eyed spider, with the discovery of the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets, it is no longer a very secret past story, after all, in a few weeks, Hagrid may return to school to start classes, and these questions are naturally nothing.

"Eight-Eyed Spider......"

When it came to the subject, Hagrid had a look of nostalgia in his eyes—this was all too familiar to him.

"Well, then I'll tell you a good story about the Eight-Eyed Spider. Elena was right, in fact, many years ago, I used to raise an eight-eyed giant spider called Aragog......"
