Since it is located on the basement level of the castle, you cannot see the sky outside the window. However, judging from the dark and quiet Hufflepuff girls' dormitory, it should be less than six o'clock.
In the darkness, a petite figure slowly sat up, habitually wiped his saliva with the small animal pillow on his chest, and rubbed his eyes sleepily.
"Hey~ It's time to make breakfast, otherwise Bran will cry again later..." She couldn't help but yawned again. The girl was talking to herself, looking around confusedly, with loose eyes.
Gradually start to focus.
A strange and warm room, with a fluffy carpet beside the bed. Even if you step on it with bare feet, you won’t feel cold. It’s still very early, and the dormitory is extremely quiet. There are only the gentle breathing of the girls and a few quiet murmurs in their sleep.
.
"Yeah, I almost forgot, I'm already in Hogwarts now."
Elena shook her head with a dumb smile. It was already the second day of school, but she had not yet had time to adjust her biological clock back to the one she had developed in the orphanage.
Unlike yesterday, there was a sleeping little beaver beside her, which she could hug and stay in bed with peace of mind. Elena, who woke up alone, suddenly felt a belated sense of loneliness in her heart.
"Fluorescence."
After sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while, the silver-haired little Luoli looked around the dark dormitory, fumbled and picked up the wand on the bedside, and a faint dim white light lit up from the tip of her black walnut wand.
With the faint light, the girl put on Hufflepuff's college robe, picked up her shoes, and walked out of the dormitory lightly, entering the Hufflepuff common room.
It was still very early, and the spacious living room was empty. No one was there. Even the portraits on the wall were still sleeping. The only thing that was moving was the flame in the fireplace that made a slight crackling sound.
After a simple wash, Elena walked out of the Hufflepuff common room. The magic torches on both sides of the stone corridor still emitted a soft warm light. Looking at the portraits of food that could only be seen and not eaten on both sides of the corridor, the girl's mood became even more intense.
A little sad.
Although it is said that Hufflepuff House is the best house in food magic, but this is not a reason to decorate the corridors outside the college with food paintings, right? In Elena's view, such an environment layout is good for imaginative foodies.
In other words, it is more appropriate to call it a form of torture rather than a match for the occasion.
Fortunately, the Hufflepuff common room is relatively close to the kitchen.
The particularly good-looking silver-haired snack guy raised his eyebrows and walked to the portrait in the middle of the corridor that corresponded to the kitchen door. He stretched out his fingers and scratched the big green pear in the painting, waiting for it to turn into a door handle.
.
Just like yesterday, Lizi squirmed from side to side, letting out a chirpy laugh, and then...
Then there was nothing more, and the scene returned to calmness.
Eh?
Elena blinked in confusion. Was her opening method wrong? But it was obviously successful yesterday.
Raise your hand and scratch it.
Li Zi squirmed and smiled, then continued to pretend to be dead.
Well……
"Open the door, or I'll use this painting to sharpen my nails and test charms."
Elena narrowed her eyes, moved her wrist expressionlessly, and was about to show her nails.
At this moment, the portrait in front of him suddenly rotated and opened automatically.
Burley, the house elf she was familiar with, stood respectfully at the door, with a bitter look of embarrassment on his face.
"Dear Miss Kaslana, please understand us. Professor Dumbledore has specifically asked that no young wizards be allowed to enter the kitchen without the consent of the principal, and no additional fees can be provided for them.
Provide any food.”
"Tsk, that's really stingy."
Elena curled her lips in disbelief.
Elena was not surprised at all by Burley the house elf's answer. If the stingy and spicy old carrot hadn't taken any countermeasures, she would have been a little surprised.
However, the main purpose of her coming here this morning was not to have breakfast, but for another more important thing.
"Burley, speaking of which, are you still serving breakfast at the orphanage? After I come to Hogwarts."
After saying that, Elena looked casually into the eyes of the house elf in front of her.
There is no doubt that Professor Dumbledore is a Gryffindor through and through. And one of the biggest problems of Gryffindor House people is that they are only willing to abide by the rules they think are right.
Not to mention the characters in the original novel that have not yet been fully revealed. Even though JKR clearly showed some tendencies in the book, Elena still retains some skepticism. Not to mention someone like Dumbledore.
A controversial figure with high IQ, even if he made an unbreakable vow, she still couldn't believe it completely.
And this verbal agreement casually made at the orphanage table was exactly the right event to help Elena make a judgment.
"Of course. Professor Dumbledore also specifically warned that the dining specifications provided there should still be in accordance with the standards before the implementation of the Regulations. In fact, I will bring breakfast there in a while."
The elf Burleigh bowed respectfully and answered without any hesitation.
"Is it……"
After carefully observing Burley's expression, Elena nodded noncommittally and asked softly, slightly rudely, "Show me, if you can."
"No problem, please wait."
The house elf hesitated for a moment, and moved its two big bat-like ears. After carefully observing that there were no other little wizards around, he lightly snapped his fingers. A huge white tablecloth appeared behind it.
It was filled with all kinds of sumptuous breakfast, just as Dumbledore promised in the orphanage a month ago.
Elena glanced eagerly at the steaming slices of grilled bacon, the golden egg tarts, the soft and fragrant cheese cake, and the hot milk dripping with honey... She swallowed hard - these little things were better than her.
Much happier.
The silver-haired little Luoli took a deep breath with a face full of intoxication, and then tried hard to turn his attention to the elf's face. His face straightened and he said in a sincere tone, "Thank you very much. I'm really sorry to trouble you, Mr. Burley."
"Miss Kaslana..."
Facing Elena's thanks, the house elf Burleigh waved his hands in a panic. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed, his slender arms waved widely, and he hurriedly closed the portrait door again.
stand up.
Soon, the silver-haired little Luoli, who was locked out of the door in confusion, knew the reason.
"Elena, why did you run out alone? You scared me to death. Fortunately, you didn't go far."
Behind her, little Hannah, still wearing plain white pajamas, ran towards her in a hurry.
When I woke up, I suddenly found that the bed opposite was empty again. But Hannah Aibo, who had watched Elena fall asleep yesterday, was very frightened. After knowing Elena's attribute of being a road idiot, little Hannah was even more worried.
Let this white-haired dumpling wander around alone under the complicated castle. He didn't even have time to change his clothes before he rushed out to find someone.
