As with most news, it's hard to focus on a single thing for too long.

As time passed, the episode that took place on Halloween soon became submerged in the daily trivialities and mundane campus life of Hogwarts, and Professor Quirrell's name rarely appeared alone at the student tables and in casual discussions, except for the occasional "comparative".

The only thing that made Elena a feel a little uneasy was ......

After the release of this issue of Hogwarts, Newt Scamander sent a rare letter asking for information about the new ingredient that appeared on it, the Terrestrial Fluffy Softshell Crab in the Forbidden Forest.

Of course, as a heavy fan of magical beasts, Mr. Scamander has a keen interest in most of the newly discovered creatures, not to mention the creatures that appear near Hogwarts.

“...... It's just a common large dry crab with a taste similar to tender chicken and isn't too dangerous. More habits and edible values need further research, so we will not provide mail delivery services for the time being. ”

Elena bit the barrel of her pen, wrote the contents of the reply on the parchment, and handed it to the round-faced fat chicken standing at the dining table waiting for a reply—she didn't even dare to send a sample of the cooking to this senior who was not inferior to Grindelwald.

You know, Newt Scamander wasn't as easy to fool as Ron at the Gryffindor table opposite.

In the face of such a novel creature that she had never heard of before, Elena was 100% sure that Mr. Scamander would not be like Ron Weasley, who was able to double-hold left and right without any psychological burden, and eat with no heart or lungs.

"Wow, is this really Mr. Newt Scamander's letter?!"

Luna said with envy on her face as she watched Elena fill in the address and recipient information, her eyes widened slightly.

"Great, I have a lot of questions for Mr. Scamander in person. ”

"It doesn't matter, what we have in the future is a chance. ”

Elena shrugged noncommittally, "Besides, even Newt Scamander can't know all the animals in this world, don't you think he took the initiative to write to ask what a terrestrial soft-shell crab is?"

"Yes, at least he didn't spot the scimitar-horned snorkel or the rainbow bubble fish......" Luna nodded earnestly.

"That's because these two creatures don't exist in the first place. ”

Hermione raised an eyebrow and replied calmly as she slipped the fried egg in front of her.

There was also a copy of "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense" spread out in front of her at this time, there was a Defence Against the Dark Arts class this morning, this was the first session after the first year students changed to a new professor, and Hermione wanted to take the time to read more of the content so as not to keep up.

"Granger," Luna pouted a little unhappily, "you can't deny the existence of those magical creatures just because you can't find any other document, just like everyone thought it was just a legend before the rainbow unicorn was discovered. ”

"The rainbow unicorn, that's legend. ”

Hermione shook her head nonchalantly, and continued to look at the Defence Against the Dark Arts textbook in front of her.

"Sister Elena doesn't say that, it's said to be in the non-magical world......"

She also named the owl Round-faced Fat Chicken, and her non-magical world was not quite the same as what I lived in. ”

"Since we can't convince each other, why don't we guess the winner?!"

"I refuse! If you have the ability, you can find the relevant literature to convince me!"

“......”

Faced with the argument between Hermione and Luna, Elena wisely did not take the initiative to get involved - as a normal little witch, it would be extremely stupid to actively interfere in the debate between Calculate Ji and Dice Niang.

During the previous two days of confinement, similar bickering had occurred several times.

In the beginning, Elena was able to come up with something like size, guessing, and shaking the dice to mediate conflicts.

But as the number of times went by, and each time the final winner was Luna, Hermione no longer believed in luck and metaphysics, and on the other hand, it also greatly strengthened Luna's confidence to have an inspiration before she decided to do anything.

However, compared to the calm Elena, Hannah was obviously much more anxious when she saw her friends arguing.

"Stop arguing, stop arguing...... That's not a way for you. ”

Hannah looked left and right, and her eyes fell on Hermione's "Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense", which was spread out in front of hermione, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Well, why don't you ask Professor Apokalis what he thinks of this later?"

"It's the same result anyway, non-existence is non-existence. ”

Hermione muttered impatiently and continued to read a book while eating breakfast.

But the strange thing is that no matter how much the two of them quarreled, they invariably maintained a strange tacit understanding - the plate of "fragrant roasted soft shell crab legs" placed in front of Luna and Hermione has never been moved.

For Luna Lovegood, she always felt that the "crab legs" seemed a little weird.

Hermione's judgment was based on a simpler approach, as Elena had never shown them the true face of the "Scottish fluffy soft-shell crab", and based on Elena's previous behavioral records, it was probably another strange creature - like a Scottish round-faced fat chicken.

"But speaking of which, Professor Apokalis and Professor Dumbledore should know what it is. ”

Hermione glanced thoughtfully at Elena, who was starting to wander again, and her gaze lingered over the faculty table.

On the night of Halloween, Elena's story ends only after rescuing the unicorn.

However, from the logic of time, there was still a long gap between the time she rescued the unicorn and her return to Hogwarts Castle, so Elena was definitely hiding some very important information.

You must know that this period of time also happens to include the important area in the Hogwarts Great Hall before the accident when Professor Dumbledore was unwell and Professor Quirrell and Professor Apokaris were not both present at the same time.

What's more, the day after Elena's return, the Hogwarts kitchen served the "Forbidden Forest Terrestrial Fluffy Softshell Crab", all of which showed that these were not isolated incidents.

In fact, from a long time ago, Hermione could feel that Elena was special, and that the relationship between her and the two old men was not limited to ordinary students and professors, and many major events in the school were faintly shadowed by the shadows of the three.

Unlike most of the humble young wizards, Hermione Granger did not have accurate data, but he was able to roughly calculate that the number of potatoes produced by Hogwarts' "Happy Farm" was far more than the actual consumption.

Otto Apokalis...... Elena Kaslana ......

There must be some strange connection between the two!

It's a pity that she's not part of a pure-blood wizard family.

If she could have a wizard genealogy in the wizarding world as a reference, Hermione felt that she would be able to discover more.

To paraphrase what Elena once said inadvertently - there are no coincidences in this world, there are only inevitable results.

But don't worry, she still has plenty of time to observe Elena and the mysterious Professor Apokalis in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and find out what the secret behind Hogwarts is......
