You know, no matter where you are, fire and water sources are always the most important.
Nurmengard Castle, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, naturally cannot lack water. With the solid pine door panel funded by the generous first-generation Dark Lord, Elena's original sense of loss and anger at being abandoned by Dumbledore has been somewhat restored.
Got some comfort...
That is impossible!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
Rua!
Elena kicked the solid wood door panel angrily, then squatted on the stone steps with her little Jiojio in aggrieved hands.
Whenever she thinks about the little wizards her age, they are now in the warm and comfortable Hogwarts Castle, but she has to drag heavy and dirty broken boards in the inhospitable Nurmengard.
After trying to survive in prison, Elena felt so wronged and wanted to go back to the orphanage.
No matter how talented she is, she is only a ten-year-old girl. Even magic is just a light spell she learned by herself. It was just because she made some insignificant mistakes that she was exiled to prison to experience life.
What.
"ah--"
After venting for a while, Elena raised her head and looked at the cold Nurmengard Castle. She stubbornly stood up again and headed towards the bottom of the tower, pulling the dry firewood she finally got.
There were still five full days left. In addition to eating, she had to find a way to solve basic accommodation and warmth problems. The textbooks and changes of clothes she had collected in advance were also missing when Dumbledore disappeared.
From Elena's point of view, the only hope at present is to see if she can find the room of the legendary deaf-mute old man to stay temporarily as soon as possible. Otherwise, she can only find a way to make the moss-covered abandoned bedroom downstairs a little better.
A corner has been cleared.
"Old pervert, old bee, big liar, spicy old carrot, big pig's hooves with maggots... Eh?"
Elena muttered to herself as she walked along the winding stone steps to the uppermost floor of Nurmengard Castle, which was located below the tower. She suddenly stopped and looked forward in surprise.
From the girl's perspective, the previously dusty ruins-like floors separated before her eyes into completely different scenes on both sides. The far direction leading to the lower level of the castle still looked dilapidated and covered with cobwebs and dust, and the ground and
The corners of the handrail were covered with moss, just like Elena had seen when she sneaked down before.
However, the small area that spread out from where she was now suddenly became as new and neat as a newly built castle.
There is no dust or moss on the smooth and clean solid wood floor, and the dark metal clings to the walls where cobwebs and dust have been removed, outlining the wall sculptures with a classical charm.
Two familiar-looking overhead magic lamps were placed against the wall, one on the left and one on the right, emitting a soft white light that would not be dazzling even when viewed directly with the naked eye.
Not far away, the door of the abandoned bedroom that Elena had entered before was not closed, and a faint warm light came out from the ajar door.
Branded on the door is a Hogwarts school emblem that is constantly flowing with magical luster, and a prominent line of text - [Elena's Bedroom]
"I hate this kind of guy who tries to win people's hearts with flashy little favors. I'm not so easily moved..."
Elena muttered in a low voice, the corners of her mouth curved unconsciously, she dropped the broken wooden board in her hand without hesitation, and pushed open the bedroom with expectation.
The first thing that caught Elena's eyes was a spacious golden-red bedroom bathed in warm light. Unlike the cool air of the castle, the entire bedroom was filled with a familiar warmth.
Elena quickly glanced at the new room layout. She was very sure that this was the abandoned bedroom covered with moss and cobwebs that she had seen not long ago, but at this time the main body of the entire room had been replaced by a thick one.
Gryffindor gold and red theme arrangement.
After cleaning and decorating, she found that her previous judgment might be slightly wrong. This was not so much a large bedroom as it could be considered a fully equipped boutique suite.
Facing the door is actually a small living room, and the floor has been covered with a soft wool carpet with a pattern of the Gryffindor lion.
There is a large fireplace embedded in the wall on the left. The fireplace has been cleaned and relit, and the dancing firelight constantly brings warmth to the room.
There is a small maroon square wooden table in the middle of the living room. There is a three-layer dessert stand on the table, which is filled with all kinds of beautiful little candies.
Surrounding the wooden table are three soft armchairs - well, of course they are the same style as those in the Gryffindor common room.
Slowly walking into the room, Elena curiously looked around at this small world, which was completely different from the entire castle. Behind the living room was an open kitchen with a yellow and black tone.
Although there are not many professional large-scale kitchen utensils, the basic pots, bowls, dishes, cutlery, teacups are all fully equipped.
Next to the open kitchen on the left is a separate bathroom that is not too big. Different from the gold and red color scheme of the living room, the entire bathroom has a strong Slytherin Academy style.
The folding curtains painted with the silver-green Slytherin logo, the exquisite British aristocratic-style water outlet and the mirror with carved edges, and the clean toilet engraved with the S pattern, let Elena know at a glance where these things originally came from.
What makes the girl most satisfied is the small and white bathtub in the bathroom.
You know, before becoming prefects, students in each college could only use their own public bathrooms. Not to mention such a luxury as taking a bath, even if it took a little longer to wash your face, there would be a queue at the door.
The senior sister outside kept knocking on the door to urge me.
This is one of the reasons why first-year girls in every college generally wake up the earliest.
Elena stared blankly at this small bathroom that belonged entirely to her. In all the years she had traveled to this world, she had never had a comfortable bath.
Directly opposite the bathroom is a circular bedroom with a small study room.
There is a large four-poster bed in the bedroom, with Hufflepuff yellow and black flannel curtains hanging around the bed, just like the bed Elena slept in in the Hufflepuff girls' dormitory.
.
On the bedside table stood the strange silverware that Elena had seen in Dumbledore's office before, spinning and spraying out small streams of floral-scented mist.
Above the neatly spread velvet quilt, two sets of Gryffindor uniforms are stacked, and in the corner of the bedroom against the wall, the two large black suitcases Benitez bought for Elena,
It is quietly waiting for its owner.
Elena stepped forward and opened the box.
All the first-year Hogwarts textbooks, math textbooks, the clothes Benitez had prepared for her, even the unopened set of Zwilling knives and the numerous bottles and jars of condiments, were all silent.
Lying on the ground inside the suitcase.
The desk and floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom are dotted with the iconic blue and bronze colors of Ravenclaw House. A stack of parchment is neatly placed on the table, and ink and quills have also been placed on the clean solid wood.
on the desktop.
Elena opened the hinged window in the room and looked at the pleasant snow-capped mountains and lush forests in the distance. She took a deep breath and showed a touch of intoxicated joy on her face. This place is worthy of being the castle of the first-generation Demon King.
.
Faced with such a small free space that belongs to her, only a fool would want to go back to Hogwarts for military training!
Maybe she should think of a way to stay here for a while.
Elena threw herself into the middle of the soft bed, happily opened a fruit candy and stuffed it into her mouth.
Well, also, Professor Dumbledore was indeed the best to her!
