"Well, let's not think about that much for now and go looking for food!"
After touching her flat belly, Elena's eyes gradually became firmer and she nodded vigorously.
And the place where it's easy to fill up your stomach right now is naturally the Hogwarts kitchen, which has almost transformed into her shape.
Although she had already lost someone once, in line with the principle that it would be better to lose someone once less, Elena still wanted to try to struggle for the last time and save some dignity belonging to the eldest sister.
In any case, Luna will no longer be asked to help guide the way from the Ravenclaw common room back to the Hogwarts kitchen.
Elena cleared her throat a little pretentiously. After seeing that Luna's attention had been attracted, she turned around and walked to the door of the Ravenclaw common room. She raised her hand and snapped her fingers gracefully, pointing into the air.
The deserted air whispered.
"Where is the person on duty today? You can come out now. Now, take me to the Hogwarts kitchen."
Bang. There was a slight explosion in the air.
The next moment, a house elf covered in brown and green clothes and wearing a Hogwarts tea towel on his chest appeared in front of Elena and Luna. He bowed respectfully and answered in a very standard voice.
"Oui, Chef!"
"The Hogwarts kitchen has completed all preparations and is ready to start cooking."
After several weeks of training, the house elves in the Hogwarts kitchen have become more standardized, and their speech and behavior exude the look of a star-rated restaurant chef that Elena is particularly familiar with.
"Very good," Elena narrowed her eyes and nodded with satisfaction, stretched out her hand towards Luna behind her, the little fur on her head jumped proudly, and said with a smile, "Luna, are you hungry?
?I'll take you to have breakfast."
As for the question bank of the Bronze Eagle Ring, there is no rush to update it for now.
As the saying goes, only when you have something and then lose it, will you know how to cherish it more. Let the Ravenclaw eaglets experience the softness and comfort of the big bed in the dormitory first. Only then will they pay more attention to harmony when facing math courses in the future.
effort.
…
In the next three days, Elena finally experienced the taste of ordinary campus life.
Although compared to other first-year students, her daily schedule is still quite busy, but it is no longer full of uncertain and unexpected situations. Most things are like tightly meshed gears, rotating smoothly and precisely in an orderly manner.
.
The review work for "The New Quibbler" was not as heavy as Elena originally imagined.
Mr. Lovegood sent a letter on Monday afternoon, saying that a group of elderly enthusiastic readers who do not need to be paid have come near his home and can help review and screen submissions for the new issue of the magazine. Needless to say, Elena also
You can guess where those elderly people migrated from.
Ginger is still old. As the first-generation Dark Lord who came through the Wizarding War, Gellert Grindelwald, who has witnessed too many conspiracies and dirty tricks, is indeed more thoughtful than her when it comes to speculating on human nature.
many.
Such a group of elite saints who have survived several wizarding wars. If they fight alone, Voldemort's Death Eaters may be able to gain an upper hand by relying on their youth advantage. But once the number expands to a multi-person team confrontation,
time, then the outcome will most likely be a one-sided crushing.
If nothing else, Xenophilius Lovegood has probably guessed the true identity of these foreign elderly people, but for him, who has long been tied to the chariot, the truth of these things is actually not that clear.
It's important.
Even if these ancestors said that they grew up watching "The Quibbler" and now wanted to come over to help, Xenophilius could only smile and nod in recognition - he couldn't run away, and he was beaten.
When you can't fight, and even "calling the police" is useless, naturally they will do whatever they say.
With the addition of such a group of people with rich experience and strong magical abilities, the work of Elena and others in the school has become much easier.
Apart from taking a few food photos every day, there isn’t much to worry about.
In such a relaxed and ordinary pace of campus life, Luna Lovegood, as a transfer student, quickly integrated into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and almost became the "House Darling" of Gryffindor House.
Strictly speaking, Hogwarts is actually a magic school with a relatively simple academic style.
For this "92-level" elementary school girl who holds a camera and "The New Quibbler" every day, shuttles through the auditorium and the castle, and enthusiastically takes photos for various students, almost no little wizard can resist those curious eyes.
big eyes.
Of course, there are still a few blind guys occasionally...
It's just that before Elena can take action, she is usually attacked by the surrounding senior students who are fighting against each other. This makes Elena, who has always been eager to show off her skills, very helpless - due to the constraints of the oath on her left hand.
, her strength must be tested first.
On the other hand, in the eyes of the professors, Luna Lovegood can be regarded as a very good student, except for occasionally being in a daze and talking some childish nonsense that no one can understand.
Perhaps because she inherited her mother Pandora Lovegood's talent in magic, ten-year-old Luna can be considered one of the best little witches even among the first-year Ravenclaws.
.
After several spells classes, she had completely caught up with the teaching progress that she had fallen behind before.
Although her grasp of basic knowledge may not be as solid and accurate as Hermione's, in terms of her ability to learn spells, Luna has actually slightly surpassed Hermione - in the subsequent spells classes, Luna
Nadu was the first to successfully release Professor Flitwick's curse.
Not only that, due to referring to some of Elena's spell-casting skills, and with the help of Professor Flitwick, Luna even tried to improve some simple spells, such as omitting one or two syllables or changing the trajectory of the wand.
For senior students, this is actually not a shocking skill. After all, most people can simplify the casting of some commonly used life spells after graduation.
But considering Luna's current age, if it weren't for another even more evil white-haired dumpling, Luna might have been regarded as the most outstanding charm student at Hogwarts in recent years.
In fact, no matter which course the professors spoke about Luna, they all spoke highly of her.
Even the temporary substitute Gellert Grindelwald had to admit that Elena, a lucky little girl, accidentally picked up another treasure girl, not to mention Professor Flitwick, who was in charge of the Charms class.
You know, because of Luna's choice of followers and accommodation issues, Professor Flitwick, the always easy-going Dean of Ravenclaw House, had argued with Professor McGonagall several times, and in the end they even reached Dumbledore's office.
Although in the end, she still respected Luna's wishes and temporarily let Hermione Granger from Gryffindor provide one-on-one help and companionship.
However, everyone can see that in the eyes of Professor Flitwick, Luna Lovegood is actually already wearing the uniform of Ravenclaw, but she is temporarily sleeping in other houses.
Just inside the room.
Because of this relationship, the students of Ravenclaw naturally assigned Luna to their own college. Every time she passed by the long table of Ravenclaw, Luna would always have several extra fruits in her arms.
Overall, everything seems to be calm again.
Sensing Luna's silent challenge, the always strong Hermione didn't say anything, but she secretly worked harder than usual, spending at least an extra hour in the library every day.
Under the influence of this atmosphere, Hannah, Luna, and even Elena all unknowingly became a little harder. In addition to communicating about the work of "The New Quibbler" every day, they did more
It is spent in a fulfilling and meaningful learning time where you catch up with each other.
Facing Elena who finally settled down, Albus Dumbledore finally felt relieved. Even though he was still eating simple and healthy "sugar-controlled health meals" these days, the old man felt relaxed and comfortable all over.
Quite a few.
Sure enough, as long as Elena didn't cause trouble, Hogwarts would still be the peaceful magical campus he was familiar with.
In this way, time came quietly to Wednesday, September 25, 1991.
…
"Phew, it's finally Wednesday again."
Elena was happily slicing the grilled sausages on the plate, feeling quite good.
"Elena, I won't lose to you this time. I will definitely make you admit defeat and beg for mercy."
Hermione snorted softly, her eyes shining with eagerness to try.
"Admit defeat and beg for mercy? Is there any competition today?" Luna blinked in confusion.
"Of course, Luna, you should come too."
Elena glanced at Little Moon sitting next to Hermione, smiled evilly, and took the initiative to expand the battle.
"Sigh... I don't think there's anything good about Wednesday. I'm going to be bullied by you again."
Glancing at Hermione and Elena, who had been tit-for-tat since early in the morning, Hannah Abbott sighed helplessly, turned her head and explained in a low voice to Luna Lovegood, who was a little confused.
"The content of the competition is to see who can answer more questions today. I am still responsible for being the referee and will not participate."
For these girls, every Wednesday is undoubtedly the most special day.
Because this was the only day, all their classes were arranged together throughout the day, instead of having to stagger classes from time to time and take classes with the young wizards from the other two colleges like they did on other days.
After a few weeks of familiarity, Elena, who was originally a little reserved in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, completely relaxed and began to raise her hands to ask questions confidently and boldly, or take the initiative to answer questions that Quirrell asked in class.
I have to say that one of Umbridge's comments in the original book actually makes some sense. In terms of teaching quality and attitude, although Professor Quirrell deliberately pretended to be a bit stuttering, overall he was quite good.
In order to conceal his true purpose as much as possible, Quirinus Quirrell was truly impartial in the classroom and just quietly acted as an ordinary Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who kept his rules and worked hard.
Whether it is the interpretation of the content in the textbook or the ways to deal with some common dark magic creatures, although Quirrell does not have many outstanding teaching activities, the introduction of basic skills can be said to be impeccable.
This is not surprising, not to mention Voldemort's rich and profound knowledge reserve. Quirinus Quirrell, who graduated from Ravenclaw, was already well-known in the wizarding world for his talent, so he was invited by Dumbledore to become
Professor Hogwarts.
In fact, from a time point of view, Professor Quirrell can be regarded as half of the person who broke the curse of the "Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor" who can only serve for one year - judging from the resume of Hogwarts faculty and staff, Qi Luo is
Professor Luo has actually joined Hogwarts since last school year as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
However, at the beginning of 1991, Quirinas Chiro applied to the school to take a year off, hoping to take some time off to accumulate practical experience in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
And when he returned to Hogwarts and continued teaching, everything changed...
Of course, Professor Quirrell's future is not within Elena's consideration. For Elena who puts interests first, she only needs to know that in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, it is easiest to gain points by answering questions.
That’s it.
You know, when faced with a professor who stutters, the biggest point in gaining points is actually that you can rush to answer the questions, or take the initiative to help the professor complete the content that he failed to say in time - after all, it is difficult for you to distinguish when it is time to say something.
When you ask a question, you are deliberately holding back and waiting for the students to answer, isn't it?
"But...my answers to questions don't count as bonus points..."
After hearing Hannah's explanation, Luna looked at Elena hesitantly and whispered.
Although she said that, from Luna Lovegood's equally eager eyes, Elena knew clearly that Luna was indeed quite interested in facing such an interesting knowledge question and answer competition.
"It doesn't matter, Hannah is the referee. We don't calculate the bonus points, but the absolute value of the correct answers to the questions. As for the final rewards and punishments, they are still the same as before, the winner takes all, and the loser can be designated.
Two people go on a dare or tell the truth."
"I have no objection, Tuanzi, you will definitely lose this time."
Recalling the last "big adventure", Hermione's cheeks turned red unconsciously and she bit her lip in response.
"Well, I'll join too!" Luna looked at the two of them, thought for a moment and decided to join - although she didn't know what "big adventure" or "truth" meant, but it seemed interesting.
Woolen cloth.
It's over, it's over, these two little ladies are going to send them off again...
Hannah slapped her forehead helplessly, but fortunately, as a referee, she only needed to watch the show quietly. What if a miracle happened?
"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"
At this moment, a deliberate coughing sound came from the girls' side, interrupting Hannah's thoughts.
At some point, Professor Snape came behind them and seemed to want to say something to them.
