Chapter 467: Calculation Ji and Dice Girl (Repair)
Just like most news, it is difficult for people to pay attention to a single thing for too long.
As time went by, the episode that took place on Halloween was soon submerged in the trivial and ordinary daily campus life at Hogwarts. Professor Quirrell's name only occasionally appeared as a "comparative form"
, rarely appears alone in students’ dining tables and leisure discussions.
The only thing that made Elena feel uneasy was...
After the release of this issue of "Hogwarts on the Tongue", Newt Scamander sent a rare letter asking for information about the new ingredient "Scottish Forbidden Terrestrial Velvet Soft Shell Crab" that appeared on it.
.
Of course, as a serious fan of magical animals, Mr. Scamander has a strong interest in most newly discovered creatures, not to mention the creatures that appear near Hogwarts.
"...This is just an ordinary large-scale dry crab. It tastes like tender chicken and is not too dangerous. More research on its habits and edible value is needed, so we do not provide take-out service by mail for the time being."
Elena bit the penholder, wrote the content of the reply on the parchment, and handed it to the fat chicken with a round face who was standing at the dining table waiting for the reply - for this senior who was no less powerful than Grindelwald, she even
I didn’t even dare to send cooked samples.
You know, Newt Scamander is not as easy to fool as Ron at the Gryffindor table opposite.
Faced with this novel creature that she had never heard of before, Elena was 100% sure that Mr. Scamander would not be like Ron Weasley, dual-wielding the left and right without any psychological burden, and eating heartlessly.
happy.
"Wow, is this really a letter from Mr. Newt Scamander?!"
Luna watched Elena fill in the address and recipient information, opened her eyes slightly, and said with envy on her face.
"That's great. I have a lot of questions that I want to ask Mr. Scamander in person."
"It doesn't matter, we will have plenty of opportunities in the future."
Elena shrugged noncommittally, "Besides, even Newt Scamander can't possibly know all the animals in the world. Look, he took the initiative to write a letter asking what a terrestrial soft shell is."
Is it crab yet?”
"That's right, at least he didn't find the Crescent-Horned Snorlax and Rainbow Bubblefish..." Luna nodded seriously.
"That's because these two creatures never existed."
Hermione raised her eyebrows and answered calmly while cutting the omelette in front of her.
There was also a copy of "Dark Powers: A Guide to Self-Defense" open in front of her. There was a Defense Against the Dark Arts class this morning. This was the first class for the first-year students after they had a new professor. Hermione wanted to take more time.
Read the content to avoid falling behind.
"Granger," Luna pouted unhappily, "you can't deny the existence of those magical creatures just because you can't find any other documentation. Just like before the rainbow unicorn was discovered, all the
People still think it’s just a legend.”
"The rainbow unicorn is indeed a legend."
Hermione shook her head casually and continued to flip through the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook in front of her.
"Sister Elena doesn't say that. It is said that in the non-magical world..."
"She also named the owl Fat Chicken with a Round Face. Her non-magical world is different from the one I live in."
"Since we can't convince each other, how about we decide the outcome by guessing?!"
"I refuse! If you have the ability, you can find relevant documents and convince me!"
"..."
Faced with the dispute between Hermione and Luna, Elena wisely did not take the initiative to get involved - as a normal little witch, it was extremely stupid to actively interfere in the debate between Calculator and Dice Girl.
matter.
During the previous two days of confinement, similar quarrels had occurred several times.
At the beginning, Elena could also come up with some absolutely fair ways to mediate conflicts, such as size comparisons, guessing games, and rolling dice.
But as the number of times went by, and every time Luna was the final winner, Hermione no longer believed in luck and metaphysics. On the other hand, it also greatly enhanced Luna's confidence.
Be inspired.
However, compared to the calm Elena, Hannah was obviously much more anxious when she saw her friends quarreling.
"Stop arguing, stop arguing...it's not an option for you."
Hannah looked around, and her eyes fell on the "Dark Powers: Self-Defense Guide" spread out in front of Hermione, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
"Hey, how about asking Professor Apokalis what he thinks about this problem later?"
"Anyway, the result is the same. If it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist."
Hermione muttered impatiently and continued to read and eat breakfast.
But the strange thing is that no matter how much the two bicker, they always maintain a strange tacit understanding - the plate of "Grilled Soft Shell Crab Legs" placed in front of Luna and Hermione has never been touched.
.
To Luna Lovegood, the "crab legs" seemed a bit odd to her.
The basis for Hermione's judgment is even simpler. From the beginning to the end, Elena never took them to see the true appearance of this "Scottish velvety soft-shell crab". According to Elena's previous behavior records, this
It's probably just another name for another strange creature - just like the Scottish round-faced fat chicken.
"But speaking of which, Professor Apokalis and Professor Dumbledore should know what it is."
Hermione glanced thoughtfully at Elena, who was distracted again, and her eyes wandered around the head teacher's table.
On the night before Halloween, the story Elena told ended only after rescuing the unicorn.
However, judging from the logic of time, there was actually a long blank period between the time she rescued the unicorn and her return to Hogwarts Castle, so Elena definitely concealed some particularly important information.
You must know that this period of time also happened to include the important period before the accident in the Hogwarts Great Hall when Professor Dumbledore became unwell and Professor Quirrell and Professor Apocalypse were both absent.
area.
What's more important is that on the second day after Elena's return, the Hogwarts kitchen provided the corresponding dishes of "Forbidden Forest Terrestrial Velvet Soft Shell Crab". All the details showed that these were definitely not simple independent events.
event.
In fact, from a long time ago, Hermione could feel the specialness of Elena, and the relationship between her and the two old people was not limited to ordinary students and professors. There was a vague secret behind many major events in the school.
There are shadows of all three.
Unlike most naive little wizards, although Hermione Granger did not obtain accurate data, she was able to roughly deduce that the number of potatoes produced by Hogwarts' "Happy Farm" far exceeded the actual consumption.
Quantitative.
Otto Apokalis... Elena Kaslana...
There must be some strange connection between the two!
It's a pity that she is not a member of the pure-blood wizard family.
If she could use the wizarding genealogy of the wizarding world as a reference, Hermione felt that she would definitely be able to discover more things.
To explain with what Elena once said unintentionally - there are no coincidences in this world, only inevitable results.
But don't worry, she still has plenty of time to observe Elena and the mysterious Professor Apokalis in the subsequent Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and find out what the secrets hidden behind Hogwarts are.
What……
