As June approaches, the days become cloudless and the temperature becomes warmer.
The grounds outside Hogwarts Castle sparkled in the sun, as if they had just been painted with a coat of paint. The breeze blew through the silky-smooth grass, and the alluring summer breeze drifted into the castle through the windows, making
People just want to walk outside under the shade of a tree with a few pints of ice-cold freshly squeezed fruit juice, play wizard chess all day, or watch the giant squid swim dreamily on the lake.
It is a pity that as the final exam is approaching, the students have to stay in the castle obediently, forcing themselves to concentrate on the mountain of homework and books to prepare for the last level of the school year.
The common room of any college has become extremely quiet now. Apart from the slightly different fragrance of food filling the air, the only sounds left are the turning of pages and the sound of quills writing on parchment.
The prefects of the college are like an unstable compound, they will become irritable when encountering the slightest noise.
I have to admit that Hogwarts does put a lot of thought into selecting prefects.
According to convention, only outstanding students who advance to fifth grade will be appointed prefects, and fifth grade happens to be the most critical year for little wizards in Hogwarts, because they will no longer face the school's problems.
The assessment is from the Wizarding Examination Authority of the Ministry of Magic, O.W.LS (Ordinary Wizarding Examination).
If we want to draw an analogy, it is roughly equivalent to asking anxious high school seniors to maintain student discipline on a mixed campus. The Weasley twins were beaten by Percy for fighting over a piece of chicken wings.
He was severely punished for disturbing the quiet of the common room.
In fact, there is another person who is more nervous than these fifth grade students, and that is Hermione.
Perhaps stimulated by the Quidditch match, the little chocobo who failed to soar in the sky seemed to have turned all her anger and loss into learning motivation. Like Elena, she applied to Professor McGonagall to participate
Senior examination.
However, considering her own learning progress, Hermione only chose to take an additional second-year written test.
With Hermione's official declaration of war, the battle between Elena and Hermione has also become one of the focuses of attention for the young wizards. Fred, George and others even secretly opened a bet in private to guess the outcome.
Who will be the one on top.
On the other hand, students in other grades are also working harder than before, especially the second grade students.
The top students hope to teach these two arrogant little girls a lesson with better grades, while the bastards pray that they won't lose too many points, lest they become the target of criticism at the next parent-teacher conference.
As for Hannah and Luna, who were sandwiched between Hermione and Elena, they were living in fear every day these days.
Although the four of them still spent the whole day studying and eating together as usual, the harsh feeling lingering between Elena and Hermione often gave them the illusion that they might fight at any time.
.
In fact, it would be fine if "Mina" was just having a cold war. The worst case scenario would be for everyone to enter a self-isolated review state and wait until the exam is over. The most important thing is that Elena especially likes Hermione who takes the initiative to flirt.
Especially whenever a few people were eating in the school auditorium or gathering in the lounge to review, Elena would always shove various foods and snacks in front of Hermione, trying her best to make the little beaver happy.
The body reacts…
Of course, from the perspective of a bystander, this cannot be entirely blamed on Elena for causing trouble.
After all, every time Hermione eats these days, she always suddenly puts down her knife and fork from time to time, goes under the table to get her school bag, and pulls out one or two books to check a certain number or knowledge point. At this time, only Irene
Nana directly reached out and grabbed Hermione's schoolbag and books, forcing her to focus on the food in front of her.
As this school year progresses, the girls' tastes and preferences have long been imprinted on Elena. Faced with Bai Mao Danzi's extremely targeted food temptations, it is difficult for Hermione to generate much resistance.
On the one hand, she would be furious because she was disturbed, but on the other hand, her body would honestly wave the white flag and declare surrender.
This humiliating contrast almost made Hermione cry out of anger more than once.
Luna and Hannah, who were watching from the side, were even more nervous, fearing that one day Hermione would suddenly be unable to bear it anymore and slap the raspberry cake, blueberry pie, strawberry cheese, green bean smoothie, mango ice cream, and fragrant food in her hands.
Vinegar chocolate custard, golden mashed potato tart, pumpkin custard pudding, maple walnut crisp, caramel apple cheese pie...
All these devil's gifts that can induce people to gain weight are all smeared on the face of that white-haired dumpling who is the source of all evil.
You know, affected by the "Minna" war, the two of them have gained a lot of weight recently.
Fortunately, these evil days will soon be over.
…………
Exam week has finally begun, and the castle is extremely quiet.
In order to leave sufficient time and space for the subsequent O.W.LS and... examinations, the examinations for lower-grade students will start slightly earlier, so their results will usually be released at the same time on the day of the leaving ceremony.
The first exam for the first year students at Hogwarts is the Theory of Curses, which is scheduled for Monday morning.
Although she had made complete preparations before, as the exam approached, Elena gradually began to become nervous. The test paper of the first exam would determine whether her reasoning in the original question was valid and the completion of the follow-up plan.
Rate.
Unlike Hermione's neurotic sensitivity, when Elena feels nervous, it will more often show up as hunger.
"very hungry……"
Hogwarts Great Hall, eight o'clock in the morning.
Elena glanced at the long table in front of her, and in a rare move, she grabbed a knife and knocked on the plate.
As Dumbledore announced the start of breakfast as usual, within a short time, the empty dining table was filled with all kinds of food. Since Elena didn't have much energy to introduce new dishes these days, they were all daily dishes.
breakfast.
In addition to eggs Benedict, cheese hash browns, chocolate brownies, maple waffles and other new breakfast items that have become part of Hogwarts' reserved breakfasts, there are also classic breakfast snacks, such as hash browns.
However, although it sounds like there are always a lot of zeros, it is not what Elena wants to eat most for breakfast at this time.
It wasn't until the exam day came that she suddenly missed those morning delicacies from far away eastern countries that she hadn't eaten for a long time. Although they were not as exquisite and expensive as Western breakfasts, they could give people a sense of confidence and peace of mind.
For example, for the steaming tomato pimple soup, you only need to chop the tomatoes and stir-fry them a few times to turn into a rich and fragrant tomato juice. The most common flour is lightly stirred with water, and it becomes as delicate and white as snow particles.
The small lumps match well with the red tomatoes, green onion segments and yellow egg blossoms, giving them a soft, waxy and fragrant taste...
Another example is the fried buns with crispy skin and lots of fillings. When you bite into it, it bursts with juice. You can appreciate the aroma, tenderness and freshness of the fried buns, while feeling the soft and chewy meat fillings and the browned and crispy bottom skin.
The collision between lips and teeth...
There was also the spicy soup that she had been obsessed with some time ago. She had not eaten it since leaving Nurmengarde Castle.
In addition, there are naturally Elena’s favorite soy milk and fried dough sticks.
The fermented dough is intertwined with the hot oil. The two flour-kneaded bodies are intertwined with each other and gradually expand in the rolling oil pan, showing a golden, crispy, yellow, fragrant and layered texture.
The taste, coupled with a bowl of steaming, sweet and mellow freshly ground soy milk, is simply the most perfect breakfast.
Of course, there are also the Mahua oil tea, pig blood soup, beef noodles, fried noodles, puff pastry cakes, pine nut Shaomai, tofu curd, pancake fruit, and chive boxes that are bustling in the streets and alleys every morning in the hometown of the soul.
Elena swallowed her saliva. As she thought about it, the tension in her heart had completely dissipated and turned into a strong appetite. She only felt that her stomach was making an empty roar, like a black hole that could hold endless amounts of food.
food.
Just thinking about these makes people's mouth water. They are definitely more delicious than the oatmeal and bread in front of them.
After recovering slightly, Elena glanced at the Western breakfast in front of her and swallowed hard again.
The pressure of exams and other things had completely disappeared, and she suddenly felt endless motivation. Her thoughts had already flown to the moment after the exam was over, and with her efforts, how to turn all the breakfasts in her mind into reality bit by bit.
Of course, she still had to eat enough for this breakfast, and she would not have any thoughts of being picky as she was already starving.
Waving the knife and fork in her hand, Elena cut into a piece of perfectly baked white toast, picked out a large piece of soft and sweet butter with the dining knife, and spread it on the top layer. A thick layer of butter overflowing with milk adhered to it.
The pores of the toast were full of satisfying heat at first sight, which was enough to soothe her stomach that was going crazy.
And just lubricating the sweet butter is definitely not enough. In the horrified eyes of Luna and Hannah, Elena directly scooped up a large spoonful of strawberry jam and spread it on the bread slices. The strawberry jam in Hogwarts was even more delicious.
It is freshly squeezed bit by bit, and you can clearly see the strawberry particles distributed in it, exuding a slightly sour fresh strawberry aroma.
After carefully spreading the strawberry jam on top of the butter, Elena sandwiched two pieces of white toast together and took a bite with anticipation.
The bright yellow butter and bright red strawberry jam overflowed from the gaps on the edge of the toast and adhered to Elena's fingers bit by bit. A sense of satisfaction instantly filled the girl's face.
Although this is not one of those street breakfasts that she dreams of, the soft, fluffy, warm toast, paired with rich butter and sweet and sour jam, can still bring the purest happiness to a foodie.
Elena narrowed her eyes and gently licked the jam and butter on her fingers with satisfaction.
Sweetness and heat are the easiest things to give people strength.
She passed today's exam!

Chapter One!
So hungry, so hungry, so hungry...
While I was writing this chapter, my stomach kept growling, very loudly, and I really wanted to go out for breakfast...
