Chapter 297 Elena's apology (seeking a monthly pass)
The great tawny barn owl's courage did not last long.
After completing its mission of delivering the message, it didn't even take a sip of the water handed over by Hannah next to it. It flapped its wings in a panic, flying at a speed twice as fast as when it came.
and left the table.
"Hey, what is this?"
Hannah turned sideways and looked over curiously.
If she remembered correctly, Elena, like Hermione and Harry, had always lived in the non-magical world before coming to Hogwarts to study. All her previous relatives and friends were incompatible with the entire magical world.
, the only way to contact family members is to proactively send letters and then wait silently for a reply.
Therefore, every morning when the owl messenger arrives, these children from the non-magical world are the most silent ones in the entire auditorium - not everyone can have an owl of their own.
Worse……
For unknown reasons, starting from this year, the number of owl messengers in the school's owl shed suddenly decreased significantly. For the young wizards in the lower grades, they must be very lucky if they want to borrow an owl.
"Strange, Elena, did you subscribe or purchase anything?"
As Hannah spoke, she looked at the package that the barn owl had just dropped.
This is a bulging package that seems to have a lot of things stuffed inside. A thin envelope is attached in the most conspicuous position above the package. It doesn't take much effort to read the content written on it.
"To, the distinguished Mr. Vikar?"
Glancing at the writing on the envelope, Hannah muttered something in a low voice and frowned in confusion.
"Vika? This is someone else's package sent to the wrong person, right? It's really strange. It's the first time I've seen an owl messenger make a mistake when delivering a letter... Wait, Elena, this is someone else's package. We can't open it without permission.
——”
Before Hannah could finish her words, Elena chuckled, stretched out her hand and quickly tore open the envelope.
"There is no mistake in sending it. This is the reply you wrote to me... The real name of the food reserve is Vika, which was given by Professor Dumbledore."
Elena replied in a calm tone, glanced at the content of the reply, raised her eyebrows noncommittally, folded the letter again and put it into the right side of her pocket.
"Grain reserve? How could anyone write to it?! How do you know... No, I mean, it's just..."
After hearing Elena's answer, Hannah looked at the little owl lying on the girl's chest, a ridiculous look appeared on her face, trying to clear her thoughts again, and was once again shocked by her worldview.
"I don't know. So, it's just a try."
Elena smiled slightly, picked up the knife and began to untie the rope on the package, "Judging from the current results, it is not bad. At least it confirms some of my guesses... interesting, very interesting."
An... try?
Hannah looked at Elena without knowing why, and felt even more confused.
She really couldn't understand what the meaning of this thing was, and what was so interesting about it - letting people send letters to their pets was as full of fun as the story of the weird Ulric told in Professor Binns' class.
Weird.
Before Hannah could ask any questions, Elena let out a sigh.
"Well, it's really good. More than twenty gold Galleons - can you buy two owls?"
Elena took out a small money bag from the package, opened it slightly, glanced at it, and threw it up and down casually in her hand. The metal coins collided with each other, making a pleasant sound of "ding-dong-dong-dong".
Obviously, as an adult wizard, Mr. Xenophilius Lovegood knows very well how to express sincerity and how to deal with unknown kidnappers. No matter in which human society, money is the most common way to apologize.
Unfortunately, for Elena, such a small amount of gold Galleons has no appeal at all.
Even if she didn't have any thoughts about the Magical Era, from the beginning, she didn't go there for the Lovegood family's meager savings. What she wanted was something more precious than cold and boring money.
"So many gold Galleons?! Elena, what on earth did you do..."
Noticing the bulging money bag in Elena's hand, Hannah's eyes widened and she whispered in surprise.
"Oh my gosh, I thought you were just playing a prank, but this, like this..."
For the eleven-year-old Hannah Luoli, she just vaguely felt that something was wrong, but if she was asked to say something, she didn't know what to say, so she only grabbed Elena's hand hard and held it open.
Her delicate little face turned red from suppressing her emotions.
"Don't worry, I won't touch any of these gold galleons. I'll send them all back later."
Elena smiled slightly, patted the back of Hannah's little Luoli's hand, and said seriously.
"You know, I'm not the kind of bad person who is greedy for money. It's just that the editors of the magazine have always been very cold and difficult to communicate with. If he doesn't take this opportunity, he may not seriously reply to or read our letters at all."
"But..." Hannah looked at Elena hesitantly.
"Remember? We said last night that we would find the lost calendar in the magical world."
Without giving Hannah much time to think, Elena put her hands on Little Tie Niu's shoulders and said with a serious face.
"Everything now is just to establish an effective communication channel so that historical fallacies will no longer continue - for the greater benefit."
"But, you are still detaining other people's owls..."
Hannah blinked and hesitated softly.
Obviously, for a little luoli who had just entered school, the prospects spoken by Elena were a little grand and abstract. Even if she used slogans from the first generation of the Dark Lord, it did not achieve very good results.
"Ah, this is a misunderstanding."
Elena shook the stupid hair on her head, poked the food reserves on her chest, and explained seriously:
"It's all because I left in a hurry that day and forgot to tell the food reserve that Simplified Chinese could be released... Look, I just came back yesterday. If you hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot about it."
"But I clearly heard last night that you were praising the grain reserves..."
"You heard it wrong, I mean it worked perfectly, delivering the information to Professor Dumbledore accurately and timely, buying valuable time for the professors to rescue everyone suffering from mushroom poisoning."
Seeing that Hannah seemed to want to say something more, Elena looked around, picked up a piece of Eggs Benedict and stuffed it into Little Tienniu's mouth, blocking her subsequent words.
"Okay, okay! In fact, I already realized my mistake yesterday. If you don't believe it, look at it. I am sending a letter to Mr. Lovegood to apologize and explain clearly."
As she spoke, Elena took out the thick envelope that had been prepared from her pocket, showed the recipient of the cover to Hannah, and said sincerely, and then took out the reserve food from her collar.
Said meaningfully.
"Go, stock up on food, and convey my 'apology' to them again."
