Chapter 417: The Undercurrent

For Elena, the conflict between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor was just an ordinary episode in her first-year life at Hogwarts.

Just like she confiscated Grindelwald and Dumbledore's candy, it is foreseeable that a similar situation will never happen just once - the door to the new world has been opened, and the rest depends on everyone's wits.

Be brave.

In the following time, Gellert Grindelwald, with a bit of gloating and helplessness, quietly pulled the sluggish Dumbledore to another corner away from Elena, exchanging words with twinkling eyes.

If nothing else, the two of them probably wanted to discuss their future strategy of stealing and hiding sugar.

After treating the little wizards, Madam Pomfrey did not leave. Instead, she walked to the Ravenclaw Tower and cooperated with Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout who came after hearing the news to help the students rebuild the fruit.

Vegetable garden.

On the other side, Elena, who had gained a lot, was carrying a large bag of syrup toffees and returned along the original route. She was going to return to the castle gate and find a house elf to lead the way to the library and Hermione.

They meet.

Now that she has reached a preliminary cooperation with Hagrid, Elena needs to synchronize this news to Luna, who is in charge of photography, and inform her to prepare for the unicorn photography near the Forbidden Forest tomorrow.

At the same time, according to the agreement, she also needs to write a letter to Mr. Lovegood to report that it is safe and explain the changes to the next issue of the magazine.

After getting to know each other over the past few weeks, the house elves at Hogwarts have gradually accepted that their chef is a wanderlust.

Therefore, generally speaking, most of the time there will be a few idle house elves waiting in some fixed areas of Hogwarts Castle, waiting for the call of Elena (who is lost).

As far as the distribution areas of the "Guiding Elf" that Elena currently knows, they are mainly at the gate of the castle, outside the common rooms of the four colleges, and at the entrance of the principal's office.

Of course, the Hogwarts kitchen is her home base, so this is naturally not included.

All in all, for Elena, as long as she can find the common room of any college or return to the starting point, she can easily find a dedicated house elf guide to help navigate.

This is why she had the confidence to leave Dumbledore and Grindelwald alone and leave the venue with candy.

Half an hour later, Hogwarts library.

With the help of Hermione and Luna, Elena finally completed the letter to Xenophilius Lovegood.

Putting down the quill and reviewing the contents of the letter again, Elena nodded with great satisfaction.

In the letter, she first described her overall plan for "The Quibbler". Her tone was not too strong, but she still expressed her request for the opinion of a senior editor - after all, we are already a family.

, there is no need to always use threats and intimidation.

On the other hand, the content is mainly about some articles that Hannah and Hermione have compiled and compiled these days, including the compilation of the second issue of "Magic Era" and the text of the "Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue" section.

and arrangement of photo materials.

Although Xenophilius Lovegood may be a little different in reviewing the content of manuscripts, if the content that has been determined to be published is handed over to him, this experienced editor-in-chief will do the typesetting and proofreading.

His editing skills are quite trustworthy.

Finally, in accordance with the previous agreement at Hogwarts, Elena attached some additional photos of Luna Lovegood's life, as well as the daily interesting things in school life these days written by Luna herself.

and her schedule for the next period of time.

The task of delivering the letter naturally fell on the diligent and lovely little reserve food.

You know, although Elena returned Luna's little flat-headed owl, due to the daily work needs of Xenophilius, the editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler", Luna was still not able to feed herself every day as she wished.

The "Horned Snorlax".

But the good news is that under Elena's gentle introduction, the smart reserve food quickly understood his position and situation, and almost instantly showed his ability to be cute several times more than before, successfully attracting Luna.

Little Luoli laughed, which temporarily made up for the regret of not being with Luna.

Looking at the food reserves gradually disappearing into the night outside the window, a trace of anticipation rose in Elena's eyes.

If nothing else goes wrong, Mr. Lovegood will receive this carefully written "letter home" from her tomorrow morning at the latest - on the one hand, the bright future prospects of "The Quibbler", and on the other hand, the news of her daughter's death in Ai

The happy smile accompanied by Linna...

Elena believes that with this two-pronged approach, it won't be long before "The Quibbler" completely takes on its own shape.



The next morning, there was no doubt that the conflict between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw became the focus of discussion at the students' dinner table, and countless little wizards were curiously inquiring about the details of the battle that took place yesterday.

Although Roger Davis and others caused Ravenclaw Academy to be deducted 100 points, he was even imprisoned.

But this does not prevent him from becoming a hero in the hearts of many girls in Ravenclaw House, especially judging from the final result, in addition to losing some points and suffering a few curses, Ravenclaw House

Undoubtedly the biggest winner.

The most intuitive change is the change in the dishes that appeared on the Ravenclaw table this morning.

In addition to the various fruit and vegetable hodgepodges of the past few days, the classic potato dish of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has also returned to the long table of Ravenclaw - for Elena, who is in charge of the Hogwarts kitchen.

It is said that as long as the two colleges have reached an agreement, changing the style of the dishes is just a matter of giving an order.

Not to mention, there are also those "Gryffindor hostages" who have been working hard under the Ravenclaw Tower to repair the mess since last night. Although the little lions have all kinds of bad habits, they are absolutely good at keeping their promises.

It is one of the best in the entire Hogwarts.

Early this morning, George, Fred and other Gryffindor wizards who had signed the "labor contract" appeared under the Ravenclaw Tower, dutifully completing the tasks that the Ravenclaw girls had arranged yesterday.

of farm work.

Therefore, for the little wizards of Ravenclaw who have never been keen on competing for the Academy Cup, Roger Davis, who made all this happen, is undoubtedly the brightest star and hero.

Roger Davis, who was in the center of the crowd, naturally took the trouble to tell the surrounding students over and over again how he used various flexible flying movements to escape from the pursuit of dozens of Gryffindor students.

And how to lead a few boys to launch a heroic resistance against the "robbers" with a huge disparity in numbers.

"Humph, it's not like that at all..."

Ron Weasley poked the baked potato in front of him hard, looked at Percy beside him gloomily and complained.

"You know, if it hadn't been for Fred and the others to check Wood's condition first, this guy wouldn't even be able to fly out of the Quidditch pitch before he was shot down by us - and when we got to the back, we were clearly outnumbered."

"But, isn't it that what really caused the incident to escalate was that you guys tried to take advantage of the chaos to steal some fruits and vegetables from Ravenclaw College?"

Percy Weasley glanced at Ron and said seriously.

"I have understood what happened. Although it was indeed Ravenclaw who stole the potatoes first, your current behavior can be said to be entirely your own fault - I plan to write to my mother later, if you feel aggrieved.

, you can just explain it to your mother directly."

Clang.

The dinner fork in Ron's hand slipped and fell into the golden dinner plate, making a crashing sound.

"Percy?! Wait! You can't do this!" Ron looked at his prefect brother in fear, and the image of Mrs. Weasley thrusting her waist and roaring suddenly appeared in his mind, and he seemed helpless.

Dove in the storm.

"I just said my plan, but didn't actually write it."

Percy Weasley paused, then calmly scooped up a spoonful of mashed potatoes and stuffed it into his mouth, frowning slightly.

"Actually, I think your thinking is not wrong. It's really unbearable to have a potato dinner every day. It's just that you are too impulsive in terms of the method and the objects you choose."

"Eh?! You mean..."

Ron blinked in confusion and looked at the eldest brother next to him who was now in Hogwarts.

"I didn't say anything, but as the prefect of Gryffindor, I still have to do some things."

Percy Weasley raised his eyebrows, turned his head and nodded his chin at the sumptuous dishes on the Hufflepuff table next door, and then winked at the Slytherin table further away.

He thought softly and said.

"You said, if Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Slytherin suddenly had a fight, and the outbreak happened to be next to the school greenhouse, this should be a normal thing, right? Just run away after the fight.

, there will be no problem if you don’t get caught.”

The little wizards at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are not stupid. Since the confrontation between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor yesterday, everyone has realized the correct way to unfold the "vegetable version".

You know, except for Hufflepuff House, which is like the winner in life, the other three houses have their own shortcomings to some extent.

After last night's fight and acquaintance, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, who had opened the door to the new world, quickly reached another "strategic cooperation" that even the professors didn't know about. And at this time, with Harry

Draco Malfoy, a close friend, also happened to be the one who connected with Slytherin House.

In just one night, the three colleges hit it off and prepared to join forces to make a big deal.

Under the joint intelligent design of several colleges, from the cause through the results, to the time points of fighting and dividing the spoils, as well as the retreat direction of each college... Even after the final incident, the candidates to take the blame have already been

OK.

The "persons taking the blame" happened to be the group of "Gryffindor hostages" who belonged to Ravenclaw this time.

Anyway, it is impossible for the same group of young wizards to "serve their sentences" in two vegetable gardens at the same time. Even if Hufflepuff House wants to ask for an explanation, it has to be on a first-come, first-served basis, right? At least within this semester, Gryffindor has already

I am no longer afraid of wearing shoes when I am barefoot.

Even if he ends up being relegated to Gryffindor House, which is full of potato fields, it will not be a loss at all.

Ravenclaw, who has long been tired of eating fruits and vegetables, and Slytherin, who has been coveting the Hufflepuff table for a long time, have no objections. Considering that Gryffindor has someone out of the way, points will be deducted this time.

The task is mainly shared by Slytherin and Ravenclaw.

Regarding the conspiracy plans of the three colleges, except for a few core members, most of the young wizards were kept in the dark. Elena was not a god, so naturally she was not aware of the undercurrents in the school.

In fact, even if she knew about it, she would just silently watch the show and eat melon while holding a small bench.

After all, although theoretically she does belong to Hufflepuff, as Snape said, she is still wearing the uniforms of Gryffindor and Slytherin.

According to the ancient tradition of Hogwarts, the sorting ceremony cannot be completed until the Sorting Hat is officially put on.

On the other hand, from Elena's point of view, Hufflepuff, which has always been aloof from the world, does need some opportunities to condense the atmosphere of the school and reawaken some of the energy hidden in the bodies of the little badgers.

You know, as time goes by, the effectiveness of Elena's speech a few weeks ago has almost disappeared. Under the influence of most of the senior students, Hufflepuff House gradually began to return to its previous state.

In the atmosphere of a good old man who grows salted fish.

At this time, if Hufflepuff's vegetable garden is taken away in one pot, tsk tsk tsk...

Of course, a more important reason is that even if the vegetable patch of Hufflepuff College is destroyed, it will not affect the normal supply of three meals a day for Elena and her little wings - enjoy the staff alone

With standard catering, they don't have to worry about the vegetable garden being eaten in one pot.

Not to mention whether the students have the courage to covet the professors' exclusive vegetable garden, the three-headed hell dog Luwei that has been upgraded and strengthened by Grindelwald is enough to dispel all unrealistic illusions.

So, after breakfast was over, Elena ignored the people in the auditorium and directly took Luna and the other girls to run outside the castle, preparing to go to Hagrid to see those cute unicorns.

After leaving the castle, the girls walked down the lawn toward Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

From a distance, they could see Hagrid waiting for them at the door of the hut.

Hagrid did not put on yesterday's large Gryffindor house uniform today, but changed back into the moleskin coat from before. The big hound Fang was squatting at his feet, as if he couldn't wait to set off.

As a preview of the "Care of Magical Creatures" lesson for the first time in his life - well, this is what Professor Dumbledore said to convince Hagrid yesterday - Hagrid was obviously in a good mood today, and he didn't mean anything at all.

It comes to mind. On the one hand, today's magical animals are the docile unicorns. On the other hand, the children who come into contact with animals today are also the kind of kind and pure little girls that unicorns like best.

No matter how you think about it, today’s shooting and introduction process will be a relaxing and beautiful scene.
