Chapter 342: The family letter is worth 10,000 gold (thanks to the leader of the little fairy)
"Hmm..."
At around six o'clock in the morning, Elena was woken up by her biological clock on time.
Opening her eyes drowsily, she realized that she was sandwiched between Hannah and Hermione like a sandwich.
The beds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are not too big, just a little wider than those in ordinary university dormitories, but if they are a little crowded, there is no problem at all for sleeping three petite luoli.
Hannah kept facing her, holding Elena's arm tightly with both hands, like a little sloth sleeping on a tree trunk. And Hermione didn't know when she turned to her side to sleep,
An arm was placed on Elena's chest, and the pink suspender pajamas tilted to one side, revealing the soft and delicate skin underneath.
The three of them were so close that she could almost feel the weak bullying of her body when the two wings were breathing. The warm breath coming from one left and one right blew past Elena's ears, making her feel itchy.
, can’t help but think...
While Hermione and Hannah were still awake, Elena dared to secretly kiss the faces of the two little luoli on the left and right, then carefully pulled out her arms like a thief, slipped out of bed and ran to
Four people walked backwards in the empty bathroom... Ah, brush your teeth and wash your face.
Although she was a little more tired than usual this morning because she stayed up late chatting.
But just thinking about the success of her "marriage fraud" last night made Elena feel as if she had a piece of delicious fruit candy in her mouth, and the little hair on her head was dangling happily.
Of course, after learning the lesson of almost having a fire in the backyard during the previous dinner, Elena did not ignore the cute Hannah this time. After following the same pattern of "Second Marriage Fraud", she also arranged a "secretary" position for Hannah -
—Currently, I am mainly responsible for transcribing and sorting out the scattered ideas they discussed.
The latest issue of "The Quibbler" is still being printed and typeset. If you want to see it, you have to wait until Sunday night at the earliest.
There is almost a full week until the next submission for printing.
Before that, they still have plenty of time to polish an article that is eye-catching and can withstand the research of historians in the wizarding world - at the same time, it also gives Hermione and Hannah a buffer.
internship period.
After all, just like the theory of evolution proposed by Darwin, any evolution takes time.
No matter how smart Hermione Granger is, if she wants to evolve from a "know-it-all" to a qualified "calculator", it still takes a certain amount of time to enter basic data.
Or to put it in layman's terms, after reading the reference book list Elena gave her - of course, based on Elena's understanding of Hermione, she would probably think that these books were too few.
By the time Elena finished washing up, it was still very early and the entire girls' dormitory was silent.
Elena returned to the bed, carefully put the quilt back on Hermione and Hannah, who were still sleeping, and tiptoed across the room and climbed up the stairs into the Hufflepuff common room.
There were still some remaining fires flickering in the fireplace, and the armchairs seemed to be nothing but black shadows.
But as Elena walked into the lounge, a soft fluorescent light lit up silently, and the ceiling was covered with countless tiny light spots, just like the night sky full of stars - those born from the flames
Fireflies usually live on those round ceilings, and they will quietly light up the room whenever someone needs them.
"What smart little guys..."
After Elena's eyes paused for a moment on the inedible little light spots flying in the sky, she smacked her lips, walked to the small table in front of the fireplace, thought about it for a while, and then started to write a letter.
The recipient of the letter is Bathilda Bagshot, a well-known historian of magic in the wizarding world, the author of the History of Magic textbook at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Grindelwald's aunt.
Not long ago, she even sent a copy of "History of Magic Hardcover Collector's Edition" to Hogwarts.
Although I don’t know what Grindelwald wrote in the letter, judging from Bathilda Bagshot’s message, at least he directly knew of Elena’s existence.
After all, the first handwritten sentence on the title page is - [I would like to give this book to Elena Kaslana, hoping that it can clear up the fog of the history of magic for her. 】
So of course, even out of politeness, Elena should write a reply letter to express her gratitude.
Not to mention, in today's wizarding world, there are very few people who can rival Bathilda Bagshot in the field of magic history.
If some of the articles in the next few issues of "The Quibbler" will be interpreted and recognized by this authoritative person, the doubts and pressure Elena will face in the future will be much less.
As for whether Ms. Bagshot might refuse, Elena was not worried at all. As long as Bathilda Bagshot opened the envelope and read the first sentence, according to the character of this witch, she would be very happy to help.
"Dear Ms. Bathilda Bagshot, my great-aunt and grandpa have given me the "History of Magic: Hardcover Collector's Edition". I like it very much..."
Elena bit the end of the quill, leaned down and wrote on the parchment without thinking.
A quarter of an hour later, Elena picked up the parchment in her hand and checked it again, and nodded with great satisfaction.
After experiencing correspondence with the Lovegood family, she has become more proficient in this method of communication between wizards, and her writing style and tone have become much smoother and smoother.
.
In the letter, she focused on expressing her gratitude to Bathilda Bagshot, as well as some confusions and troubles she currently encountered in her studies. Considering that Ms. Bagshot was already old, "the caring little cotton-padded jacket Ai
"Lina" even specifically wrote at the end of the letter - if grandma feels there are any problems or inconveniences in communicating through letters, she can also ask grandpa to accompany her to her residence to talk in person.
"Get up..."
Elena casually took out the stored food that had been driven back to the bird cage to sleep, and shook it slightly in front of the flickering firelight of the fireplace. The little owl, which was still a little sleepy, suddenly woke up and turned its little head 180 times.
Shidu looked at his little master flatteringly and nuzzled him quite affectionately.
Goo! Goo goo goo!
"Go, stock up on food, and give this family letter to Grandma Bashat."
Watching the grain reserves disappear outside the edge of the window, a cute smile appeared on Elena's face - for so many years, not many descendants have cared about the old man's life. Great-aunt must be very lonely, right?
And if everything goes well, Mr. Lovegood's "The Quibbler" will also have a sales spurt.
Speaking of which, I don’t know if Draco, the boy, has ever written a letter to his family obediently...
After all, at Draco Malfoy's current age, he may not necessarily understand the principle that "a letter from home is worth ten thousand dollars".
