"The underground area of Hogwarts Castle is very large. It is said that there is only one floor, but in fact it is divided into many areas of different shades. Although the stairs here will not move, it is said that there will still be individual ones every few years.
Freshmen... Phew... Some freshmen have mysteriously disappeared in the maze-like underground passages. If Elena wants to take a walk in the future, she must remember to ask me to accompany you. If you are like this..."
At around five or six in the morning, the stone corridor outside the Hufflepuff common room echoed with the crackling chatter of little Hannah, occasionally interspersed with a few sounds of breathing because she was talking too fast.
"Okay, okay..."
Looking at the girl in pajamas in front of her with messy blond hair who had just woken up from sleep, the previously aggressive silver-haired little witch seemed to have changed into a different person, nodding helplessly in response.
If there is one biggest difference between the two eras, in addition to technology and magic, from Elena's perspective, there is one more thing, and that is that in her previous life, being cared about was a very rare situation.
As transportation and communication become more and more convenient, everyone has become more and more accustomed to being alone, accustomed to keeping a polite distance, accustomed to carrying everything silently by one person, accustomed to hiding the truth behind the screen... Just like, sometimes in the dead of night
Sometimes, she would suddenly laugh in front of the computer for a long time, then laugh and start to cry inexplicably - she really wanted someone to ask her what she was laughing about, but no.
According to Benitez's evaluation of Elena, she is like a timid hedgehog, always using various invisible spikes to intentionally or unintentionally try to separate herself from the world. In fact, Elena
What Lina wants to tell the idiot dad is that in twenty years, almost everyone will become such a hedgehog.
"Hey! Listen to me carefully, I'm really not joking. Several seniors said that there are terrible monsters hidden under the castle. If you accidentally encounter them, you will be eaten!" Seeing the silver-haired man in front of him,
The little witch's eyes began to wander. Hannah raised her hand and shook it vigorously in front of Elena's eyes, and said with a serious face.
Perhaps she was too deeply impressed by the campus ghost stories of senior students. Hannah, who was originally not good at words, turned red with anxiety. She wished she could learn a magic that could throw all the meanings she wanted to express into others in one breath.
in the head.
As soon as she was halfway through speaking, Hannah felt her body sink and her whole body was surrounded by a warmth.
"They are all lying to you, idiot Hannah. This is a wizard's castle. Even if there is a monster, it will have a hard time hiding it from being caught and eaten by us. How dare it run away like a big show?
Come out and eat people."
Elena's eyes softened slightly, and she sighed helplessly. She took off her black wizard robe and wrapped it around the little blond Luoli, who was only wearing a thin pajamas. She gently sealed Hannah's lips with her index finger, and with a
Said seriously in an irrefutable tone.
"Okay, the discussion is over. Now, go back to the dormitory immediately, wash up, comb your hair, and change clothes. We still have seven years to slowly get to know those cute monsters inside and outside the castle."
Half hugging and half pushing Hannah Abbott back to the Hufflepuff girls' dormitory. In the girl's somewhat distrustful eyes, Elena sunk herself into the soft chair in the Hufflepuff common room, helplessly
Sighed.
If things go on like this, how could she be willing to leave these lovely children to face the terrorist attack of the second generation Dark Lord?
"Should we consider preventing the Noseless Monster from being stewed in iron pots four years later..."
While waiting for little Hannah to clean up and wash up, Elena was thinking about how to reduce the burden on the "Boy Who Lived", while taking out an oil paper package from her robe and opening it, which contained several pieces wrapped in sweet spices.
Mutated fish meat - this is the leftover [Delicious Wind Snake] that the first grade wizards had for dinner last night.
"Well, it seems a little cold."
Elena frowned as her fingers touched the cold fish meat.
Although eating fish cold is also a way, the silver-haired snack foodie from the country of flame cuisine obviously prefers steaming food. Besides, the mutated fish growing in the black lake has a somewhat cold meat quality.
A delicate girl who knows how to maintain good health, Elena will not eat cold fish directly in the morning.
After looking around, the little silver-haired witch raised her brows, picked up the fire fork in the lounge, skewered the fish on it, squatted in front of the fireplace, and started grilling the fish with anticipation under the crackling flames.
After peeling off the purple-black scales of the mutated fish, there is a layer of white and tender meat that is slightly bluish inside. According to Hagrid, it should be due to long-term consumption of mutated aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake. Even after being baked once,
The cold nature inside still locks in most of the nutrients.
Although the traditional view is that barbecue is not a healthy cooking method, grilled fish is not among them at this point. In fact, if Elena remembers correctly, a report from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine more than twenty years later
A research report from the National Academy of Sciences concluded that eating grilled fish once a week is good for brain health.
Because fish contains a type of Omega-3 fatty acid that the human body cannot synthesize by itself, long-term intake of this fatty acid will reduce the probability of suffering from cardiovascular disease. Because the high temperature of frying will destroy omega-3 fatty acids, it is more effective than frying.
Fish, fried fish, and grilled fish can preserve higher levels of Omega-3 fatty acids.
"Perhaps it is necessary to suggest to Dumbledore that all students in the school should be given a regular meal of Black Lake Mutated Fish Soup?"
Squatting in front of the fireplace, the silver-haired little Luoli watched with satisfaction as the surface of the tender white fish meat gradually turned into a crispy golden color. The fat fish oil seeped out bit by bit and dripped into the charcoal fire below, creating a shallow cloud of smoke.
White mist.
In order to maintain the original flavor of the meat to the maximum extent, when cooking the grilled fish this time, Elena only used coarse salt for seasoning, except for a few sweet spices applied on the surface to cover the fishy smell.
Perhaps due to the living environment, Elena discovered that the mutant fish in the Black Lake had a richer aroma than ordinary fish. The magic fireplace flame was just right, eliminating most of the fire control required for barbecues.
Soon, the surface of the fish meat began to make a sizzling sound, and more and more hot oil slowly slid down the lines of the plump and plump fish meat, making people unable to help but start swallowing saliva.
One of the biggest requirements in cooking is patience.
Elena took a deep breath, with a look of intoxication on her face, and the turning in her hands became more and more meticulous. Most of the fish oil remained on the surface, forming an attractive bright skin.
Although it is underground, some kind of magic is obviously used in the Hufflepuff lounge. The air is not stagnant and closed, and you can feel a gentle breeze from time to time.
With the flow of air in the lounge, the charming aroma of grilled fish that filled the lounge quickly began to drift towards the men's and women's dormitories on both sides.
"smell good……"
"What scent?"
"Oh my God, who brought the food from the kitchen to the lounge?!"
"Is dinner ready..."
One after another, Hufflepuff students in pajamas rubbed their eyes and slowly walked out following the scent...
