In Elena's mind, the last time she got lost in Hogwarts Castle was almost half a year ago.
Ever since the Hogwarts map was loaded with food reserves and the house elves set up hidden guide points in the castle, she hadn't worried about getting lost for a long time.
Not to mention, in most cases, she is usually accompanied by one to three small wings, so there are hardly many opportunities for the above backhands to be activated one by one.
but……
"Store food! Navigate for me - uh..."
Elena rummaged through her collar with her right hand, but found nothing.
She suddenly remembered that in order to sleep on her father's back, she temporarily "dismissed" the food reserves when leaving the Transfiguration Classroom.
Due to the parent-teacher meeting, Xiao Luwei was also responsible for patrolling around the Forbidden Forest today, and did not take over shifts as in the past.
"Well--"
There is no other choice but to cast a spell.
As the great, lovely, and smart chef of Hogwarts, she has a specific secret code to summon the "navigation elf".
According to the work flow she set, when she issues a summoning command, the elves on duty nearby must put down their work and respond as soon as possible.
Elena sighed, cleared her throat, and recited the spell clearly and at a steady pace.
"I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm lost!"
The clear and pleasant sound echoed in the corridor area of Hufflepuff dormitory.
Eventually it disappeared among the layers of vines, just like the cry in the primeval forest.
Then……
Nothing happened.
These guys, are all the elves on duty asleep?
It’s not going to be a strike anyway, right? Wait, wait—a collective... strike?
Elena looked at the quiet space around her, and a certain episode that had just happened suddenly emerged.
If she remembered correctly, in order to punish the Dark Lord Grindelwald, she seemed to have removed all the elf guides in the castle today in anger?
"..."
Elena looked at the intricate and almost indistinguishable underground passages in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little headache.
She doesn't have Luna's intuition of being able to get out of a maze with her eyes closed, and running around in this situation will 100% cause problems.
Normally, Elena could have returned the same way, or stopped where she was and followed the passing students back to the Hufflepuff common room.
but……
The situation is obviously different now. That Tiehanhan led his parents directly to the dormitory.
If she accidentally triggers the surprise hidden in her closet, it may not be the end of the matter with a simple apology.
"It seems that you have encountered some small difficulties, Miss Kaslana?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded not far from her.
Elena turned her head and saw a translucent figure floating out of the wall on the right.
Well……
Fat monk?
Elena frowned slightly.
"Well, yes, I forgot which way to go back to the dormitory."
Elena said frankly, while looking at the surrounding environment thoughtfully, her eyes fell back on the other person.
"So...are you also lost? Well, this area should be full of girls' dormitories. I heard that you rarely come here..."
Theoretically, the ghosts of Hogwarts can wander around and haunt every corner of the castle.
However, just like school rules and social conventions, there are also some invisible agreements among the ghosts of Hogwarts, which limit the scope of each ghost's activities.
For example, in the public rest rooms of each college, only the "resident ghosts" can enter and exit freely. The other ghosts generally need to obtain the consent of the resident ghosts and the dean of the corresponding college before entering.
For example, "Ghost Lady" will not enter the boys' dormitory and bathroom by default, while "Ghost Mr." will stay away from the girls' dormitory and bathroom. Some ghosts may occasionally sneak in out of curiosity, but most of them will hide themselves to avoid danger.
Being bumped into by students or professors, causing some unnecessary disputes - the official headmaster of Hogwarts has the right to expel ghosts.
"Ahem, actually I'm here to find you - well, I think you can tell that."
The fat monk said unnaturally, with a rare hint of embarrassment and nervousness appearing on his round face.
"The non-magical world and the magical world have been in harmony for centuries. Since you have the talent and Mr. Benitez is from over there..."
"So, why would I become a witch instead of joining the Holy See?"
Before the fat monk could finish speaking, Elena rushed to answer. She glanced at the fat monk who nodded slightly, and her brain started working rapidly.
She didn't know much about the grievances between the non-magical world and the magical world. Neither "Nearly Headless Nick" nor "Immortal Nico" wanted to talk too much about the dark period of magic, so she only
I was able to piece together a few 'pathfinding stones' based on some fragmented information, but I didn't expect that the first one to take the bait was the fat monk from Hufflepuff.
Obviously, just as she had guessed before, there really is some unknown "suppressing" force in the non-magical world, at least it has existed in the past.
"Well, I'm actually a nun - I just became a nun this year and have official documents."
Elena thought for two seconds, took out the "Hecate of the Polar Night" made by the goblins from her arms, shook it, and said without changing her expression.
"At the same time, I am also a real witch. I don't know if you know that before the official start of school, I once visited Hogwarts Castle——"
"To be precise, it should be two times. The first time I talked with Professor Dumbledore alone, and the second time it was me, Professor Dumbledore, and Father Benitez together."
"...Well, I seem to have heard of these things..."
The fat monk pondered for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and looked at Elena with some confusion.
"However, I still don't understand-"
"Fat monk, my dear fat monk, don't you understand?"
Elena's lake-blue eyes flashed with cunning light, and she spoke quietly in a choir-like tone.
"I am a nun and a wizard, recognized by both parties at the same time - just as I am sometimes seen as a Gryffindor and sometimes as a Hufflepuff."
"Could it be that--"
After the fat monk was stunned for several seconds, his eyes suddenly opened wide and he looked at Elena in disbelief.
"Oh, I can't tell you more. Don't let me make mistakes, okay?"
Before the fat monk could continue to ask, Elena blinked and made a silent gesture with her index finger in front of her lips.
"This involves Professor Dumbledore, Father Benitez, and many other adults' plans. I am just a relatively lucky exchange student. I don't want to be dropped out of school early - these contents are already my
That’s the limit of what I can reveal to you.”
"in addition……"
After Elena paused for a few seconds, she whispered quietly.
"Seeing that I have solved your doubts, can you also help me answer some minor questions?"
