Outside the kitchen of "016".
During his sleep, Ringo was woken up by a rustling sound, but Malfoy got up at some point, and was using the unskilled "Spell Stop" to unravel Goyle and Crabbe, and it took a dozen attempts in a row to untie the two, and then the three of them hurried out of the dormitory.
- Didn't even bother to cast a spell on Ringo.
Look at the time.
Ringo found out that it was only five o'clock in the morning.
It's still early......
Or very early.
Because the breakfast time is from 7 o'clock to 9 o'clock, young wizards are often used to eating breakfast until 8 o'clock, and even go directly to class when it is almost 9 o'clock.
"These three ...... Am I the big bad wolf? I was so scared that I couldn't even get out of bed. Muttering, Ringo couldn't sleep either, so he simply got up and washed.
There are also not many people in the washrooms and common rooms.
Most of them are seniors.
Ringo reckoned that they were both in the fifth or seventh grade, facing O.W.Ls exams (the General Wizard Rank Exam) and the N.E.W.T.s (Ultimate Wizard Rank Exam).
In addition, there are several ...... who make up for summer vacation homework
Seeing Ringo, the "mudblood" that had spread, these senior students didn't have a good face, and either turned their faces away from looking, or snorted coldly "The bathroom is dirty" and "It's really unlucky", and quickly turned to leave.
Ringo still washed his face and brushed his teeth as if nothing had happened.
He's still young.
Although there are a few spells that can reach the level of the third year, they are not the opponents of the upper grades, but fortunately, Hogwarts strictly forbids the upper grades to bully the lower grades, and in the first year, Ringo is confident that no one is his opponent......
So in general, as long as you ignore the pressure of the senior little snake.
Ringo can live very comfortably.
Then wait for the spell level to come up, and then subdue the senior grades in turn, presumably you can live more comfortably.
Now it's just as if nothing happened.
- Despite this, Ringo casually released a flame-extinguishing charm when he returned to his bedroom past the fireplace, and inadvertently spilled a hundred million drops of water.
Then when he was ready to go out.
The little snakes in the lounge were shivering around the fireplace, their minds clouded as they figured out how to make a fire out of wet wood.
No way......
The library is not open.
Breakfast didn't start either.
The dormitory was not yet a place to study (it would disturb the roommates), so they had to stay in the lounge for the time being, and when the fire went out, they had to stop studying and check around in frustration - thinking that the black lake was leaking.
Completely unaware that the perpetrator was wearing warm clothes.
Hold the camera in one hand.
Holding a couple of books in one hand.
The first stop is the Hogwarts kitchen.
It is worth mentioning.
The kitchen is a mysterious place at Hogwarts, and many wizards don't know that the kitchen is located directly below the Great Hall until they graduate.
- next to the Hufflepuff Lounge.
Ringo knew the location, but he didn't know how to get in, because after walking through a door in the auditorium, there was a wide stone gallery covered with pictures of various foods.
"It's tempting."
Ringo raised his camera and patted it, then said to the empty stone corridor, "Hello, is there a house-elf here?" There are wizards here who need help! β
It didn't take long for the words to fall.
Syllable!
With the sound of a phantom shift.
A creature with bat-sized ears, bulging eyes the size of a tennis ball, a long, flat nose, and a scrawny body with only a rag on its body appeared.
None other than house-elves.
"Hello, honorable Mr. Wizard, do you need anything?" The house-elf still had an empty plate in his hand and seemed to be working, only to hear Ringo's call appear, but after looking at Ringo for a while, he bowed deeply again, "Ira can serve you." β
Ila ...... Sounds like a woman?
Ringo smiled: "My name is Ringo Shelby, a first-year freshman, I got up early today, and I heard from the senior that the kitchen is here, so I want to come and find something to eat." β
"Please wait, sir." Ira quickly vanished and reappeared, but the empty plate in her hand was replaced by a large tray with bread, fried bacon, fried sausages, fried eggs, milk, black pudding, and some fruit.
"I don't need so much ......"
Ringo thought he would be invited into the kitchen, but who knew that someone would take it out, but he was relieved to think that some house-elves didn't like to be seen at work, and after making a simple sandwich out of bread very neatly, he politely refused anything else.
But he was in no hurry to leave.
Instead, he raised the camera in his hand: "Ira, can I take a picture of you?" Well, I'm here to record life at Hogwarts for my family, and of course, I'll give you one when I wash it out. β
"Shoot ...... Photograph? Ira shuddered, panicked and surprised in her big eyes, "Honorable Mr. Shelby is going to take a picture of Ella?" Illa, Ira can also get a photo? Oh...... Ira heard me right, right? β
"You heard me right." Ringo's smile was even brighter, and he was full of charm, "But it doesn't apply a developer potion, which means that the photo doesn't move." β
"Photos that don't move? Oh, my God! Is it true? Ira was even more excited.
Bang Bang Bang ......
With Ira's scream, Ringo seemed to hear some apparitional voices again, and at the same time felt as if there were a lot of house-elves peeking around.
It's a pity that he can't see them.
But it doesn't matter.
Ringo had originally come to sell favor, with the aim of fooling one or two with him - although it was not very successful.
"Of course it's true."
He commanded Ira to stand in a bright place and take a few photos.
After finishing the matter, he handed over a copy of "Chinese Classic Dishes" in his hand: "As a thank you, this recipe is given to you, Yila...... Don't say no, I've heard people say that elves don't want to accept gifts, but I know you'll take them, right? You can cook the dishes for me to eat, well, I like to eat Chinese food. β
Ira wanted to refuse.
But after listening to the latter words, he seemed to be infected, and finally took it with trembling hands, and said with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Shelby, you, you are the kindest, friendliest, and greatest person Ella has ever seen among wizards besides Mr. Dumbledore!" Oh...... This is the first time Ira has received a gift......"
She said a whole bunch of thanksgiving again.
I also took out a lot of snacks.
Until he sent Ringo out of the stone corridor, even if he repeatedly confirmed that Ringo had disappeared far away, he still stood in place reluctantly.
Meanwhile.
A bunch of other house-elves also popped up one by one, looking at Ira and the book in Ira's hand with envy.
Although Ringo did not talk to them.
But they also seem to have a very good impression of Ringo, and they also praise Ella:
"This Mr. Shelby is so kind!"
"It's handsome!"
"I think Mr. Shelby smells good......"
"Ira, don't let down Mr. Shelby's gift, and study this recipe well."
"I, I know ......"
β¦β¦
Ringo's second stop is the dock outside the entrance hall.
This is the intersection of the castle and the Black Lagoon, and the boat in which the freshmen were riding last night was still scattered and staggered, occasionally swaying by the wind and waves, making a creaking sound.
Take pictures here.
Being able to photograph most of the castle is enough for Daisy and Sam to know the overall appearance of their school.
And after the photo was taken.
Ringo sat on the shore, eating sandwiches and snacks while gazing at the black lake, which was still shrouded in mist in the early morning.
And thenβ
And he saw a young mermaid.
It seems to be the one from last night.
