314. Chance encounters in the kitchen
Scott, who had been blowing cold for a while, walked briskly back to the castle.
At this point, dinner time is over.
Hungry, Scott made his way to the hallway of the Hufflepuff Lounge, located on the basement level of the castle.
Under the watchful gaze of several Hufflepuff students, he reached out and scratched a pear in a still life of fruit.
The pear in the painting twists like a tickled person and transforms into a metal doorknob.
Scott twisted the doorknob, pushed the door open, and walked in.
The kitchen was still brightly lit, and the Hogwarts house-elves were busy.
Some of them are using magic to direct dirty dishes to jump into the sink one by one, some are directing brooms and rags to clean at the same time, and some are already preparing tomorrow's ingredients.
Scott, who pushed the door in, immediately caught all their attention.
All the house-elves stopped what they were doing, and many pairs of big round eyes stared at him for a moment, and the next second, one after another sharp voices sounded.
"Ah, it's a little wizard!"
"Good morning, dear sir, is there anything you can help with?"
"I'll be happy to serve you, sir!"
Scott's gaze circled among them, and soon he saw a familiar house-elf.
It was the same Lulu who had been sent by Professor Flitwick to protect Jacob's family.
"Purr." Scott just called it by name.
As soon as he spoke, all the house-elves fell silent.
"Yes, Lulu is here."
Lulu hurriedly squeezed away the other house-elves and ran in front of Scott.
He looked up at Scott, wiped his hands on the tea towel on his body, and then asked respectfully, "Do you need anything, dear sir?" ”
"Give me some food." Scott walked over to the long table and sat down, "I didn't have time for dinner. ”
"Yes, of course, sir, what do you want to eat?" Lulu asked again.
"Potato patties, steak, sweet baked apple soufflé, hot cocoa."
Maybe it was because it was too cold just now, so Scott ordered some high-calorie food.
After Lulu accepts Scott's menu, several house-elves help out, so that Scott can quickly eat the food he wants.
Just as he was feasting, the kitchen door was pushed open again.
Scott turned his head to see that Luna and Savanna had walked in together.
As he was chewing on food in his mouth, Scott just nodded to the two girls.
Luna ran up to the house-elf and said a few words, then took Sawanna's hand and sat down next to Scott.
"Good evening, Scott."
"Didn't you eat dinner?" She asked.
Scott nodded again.
"Good evening." Only then did Sawana whisper hello.
Scott swallowed the food in his mouth and asked the two girls, "Are you here here?" ”
"Oh, we've eaten." Luna smiled and said, "We're going to ask for some meat." ”
Scott realized, "Feed that Thestrals?" ”
Luna nodded.
"Didn't Hagrid feed it?" Scott asked.
"All I brought with me were snacks." "It's so lonely and needs a lot of company." ”
"Hmm."
Scott nodded in understanding, and began to continue eating.
"Oh, you......" Luna turned her head suddenly, staring at Scott with her large, slightly bulging eyes.
Scott gave her a questioning look.
"I can't say ......," Luna said in a flickering tone, "maybe an unknown magical beast has visited your brain, not a harassing fly, of course." ”
Scott raised an eyebrow, "Patronized?" So they're gone, how do you tell that they're gone? ”
"There are some traces." Luna was still watching him closely, "I don't know ......"
She suddenly took out a pair of strangely shaped glasses from her woolen satchel and put them on her face.
"Oh......"
She sighed again and removed her glasses in some frustration.
"Looks like there's a lot I don't understand." She turned to look at Sawanna, "You know what, Sawana? ”
"Me?"
Sawana, who had been keeping her head down just now, looked up at her in surprise, and then at Scott.
"I ...... I don't know. She said a little confused.
"But it's worth remembering!"
Luna was happy again, took out a palm-sized notebook and a colorful quill from her satchel and began to record.
"There are indeed many magical beasts in this world that have not been discovered, which proves that the harassing fly and scimitar snoring beasts are real." She said with great interest, "I found another one today, but unfortunately I didn't see them." ”
She quickly wrote a few lines, then looked up at Scott and asked, "How do you feel, Scott, I mean, what did they bring you?" ”
Scott turned his head to look at her again, and swallowed the food in his mouth helplessly.
Taking a sip of hot cocoa, he said to Luna, "My brain was invaded by some harassing flies this afternoon, and my brain was a little messed up at the time. ”
"Oh, unfortunate!" Luna bowed her head and wrote, "And then?" ”
"And then?" Scott smiled, "Then, a new magical animal appeared, they may be the natural predators of the harassing fly, in short, their arrival drove away the harassing fly, made my thinking a lot clearer, and finally I figured out some problems." ”
As he said this, Scott noticed that Sawanna looked at him several times in surprise.
"Oh! Magical! ”
Luna didn't pay as much attention, her eyes lit up and she was writing quickly.
After writing, she closed her notebook and said to Scott with some excitement, "Congratulations, Scott!" ”
Scott gave her a questioning look.
Luna continued: "This may be a major discovery, and of course, as the first person to discover them, maybe you can give them a suitable name. ”
"Name?" Scott thought for a moment and shook his head again, "I'm not good at names, so I'd better ask you to do it for you." ”
Luna immediately laughed several times, "Oh, yes, then, I'll have to think about it." ”
With that, she fell into deep thought.
Scott took the opportunity to begin to speed up the solution of his own food.
It's just that when he finished eating, Luna still maintained a pensive expression.
Scott waited for a moment, still pondering.
Sawana sat with her, not impatient at all.
After a while, but Scott didn't want to wait any longer, so he said a name to Luna, "Why don't you wake up the brain fly?" ”
Luna looked up at him sharply, then lowered her head to open the notebook, and wrote [Awakening Brain Fly] on that page.
"Good, I like the name." She said.
Now, instead of saying this name, Scott felt embarrassed and his scalp was numb.
"Let's go." Scott stood up, "You're not going to the Forbidden Forest. ”
"Oh, yes!"
Luna hurriedly put away her notebook and quill pen.
At this time, the house-elves who had already prepared the raw meat saw that they were leaving, and hurriedly sent the piece of raw beef.
"Are you going to see it?" Luna invites Scott.
"It's fine." Scott was not very worried about the two girls going to the Forbidden Forest at night and decided to accompany them on a trip.
