Chapter 67 I Believe in You (This Chapter is Free)
Everyone has someone they are afraid of, and Elena is no exception. If she were to rank them, Albus Dumbledore would definitely be in the top three.
It's not because Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard in the world today, but because he was the second person who had the heart to beat Elena's ass since he was a child - the most important thing is that this hothead
Old Carrot is very ruthless!
Hearing the voice coming from her ears, Elena, who was still chatting and laughing with Hannah, felt that the hair on her head jumped in fright for a moment.
Looking at Hannah's little Luoli who looked normal next to her, the girl breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, she had eaten too much and started to feel sleepy, leading to auditory hallucinations...
"It's not an illusion, it's just a simple little magic spell. Look at the staff seat."
As if she heard her thoughts, Dumbledore's gentle voice sounded in Elena's ears again. The girl turned her head and looked across the crowd towards the staff seat, only to see Dumbledore smiling and waving to her head.
Huh?
Elena frowned in confusion and recalled it carefully. It seemed that before this, apart from guiding this class of young wizards to learn to actively fill in their volunteers, she had not done anything too extraordinary.
Regarding the matter of mortgaging Hogwarts to Gringotts, she had already been beaten once. With Dumbledore's character, he should not seize this point to repeat the old score.
Elena raised her head and carefully observed Dumbledore's expression. After confirming that there was no danger, she felt a little calmer and nodded towards Dumbledore. It happened that she also had some doubts that Dumbledore needed to answer.
.
"I'm waiting for you in the principal's office, just behind the boulder monster on the eighth floor of the castle. You've been here before. The password is [Sugar Mouse]."
Before Elena could squeeze out of the crowd, Dumbledore said softly, turned around, and left the auditorium through the side door next to the staff seats while talking and laughing, surrounded by Professor McGonagall and a group of other staff.
.
"Hey, hey?! Wait, I don't know the road..."
Elena nodded subconsciously, then immediately reacted, raised her hands and shouted loudly - no matter in the past life or this life, the skill of recognizing the way is extremely difficult for her.
After all, science has proven that there is no direct connection between IQ and whether you are a fool. Especially in a scary place like Hogwarts, where you only have to go back and forth twice, why would Dumbledore be so...
I'm sure she will remember the way.
"Forget it, it seems that God's will is such that the lovely Elena can only let the principal's pigeons go today... Hey! Where is the person!"
The silver-haired little Luoli pouted and turned around to return to Hufflepuff's freshman sequence, but found that Hannah and others had disappeared without a trace.
Speaking of which, among the four house lounges in Hogwarts, she seemed to be the only one who had never been to Hufflepuff House.
There doesn't seem to be much description about Hufflepuff in the original book. We only know that it is next to the kitchen on the first floor - good, then the question is, where is the kitchen and what is the password.
"Freshmen of Gryffindor, hurry up and don't fall behind..."
Just when Elena began to become anxious, Percy Weasley's voice could be heard faintly, and Dumbledore's little lions not far ahead were lining up and gradually disappearing behind the porch.
"Wait for me, wait for me!"
Elena's eyes lit up, she picked up her obstructive robe and hurriedly chased after her, quietly landing at the end of the Gryffindor team. As soon as she reached the Gryffindor floor, she knew how to get to the principal's office.
As for things like asking for directions frankly and admitting to being a road addict, that is absolutely impossible, even in this life. She is the proud Elena Kaslana!
Elena followed the first-year Gryffindor through the noisy crowd, walked out of the auditorium, and climbed the marble stairs.
After Percy led everyone through the door hidden behind the sliding screen and hanging curtains twice, Elena felt particularly lucky for her choice. If it had been her alone, she might have been lost in this place.
It's like a living creature trapped in a magic castle.
I have to admit that in terms of reliability alone, as a prefect, Percy, the outstanding student cadre of the three good students, is actually quite competent. The entire march was extremely smooth under his guidance, even if he encountered a prankster on the way.
Pigui, it didn't take much time to deal with it appropriately.
Not long after, the Gryffindor little lions suddenly stopped.
Elena stood on tiptoes and looked around. She had reached the end of the corridor on this floor. There was a portrait hanging there. The portrait was of a very rich woman wearing pink clothes. Although she had never seen it before,
Elena still instantly understood her identity - the "Housekeeper Auntie" in the Gryffindor College common room, a fat woman.
So, the destination has been reached, the eighth floor of the main castle of Hogwarts.
The silver-haired little Luoli turned around, and sure enough, not far behind her, squatted a huge, ugly stone monster.
"Sugar rat!" Elena said according to the command left by Dumbledore.
The monster suddenly came to life and jumped to the other side silently. The wall behind it quietly cracked in half. Behind the wall was a familiar spiral staircase. At the end of the spiral staircase was a shiny oak door.
There was a brass door knocker in the shape of a griffin's head. Elena knew that Phoenix Fawkes and Dumbledore were waiting for her behind that wooden door.
Glancing behind her, she saw that the fat woman had already moved the door to the Gryffindor common room, and the first-year Gryffindors were crawling in one after another along the hole in the wall - so happy, all of them were detained by the teacher.
A child who had been an angel with broken wings in her previous life - Elena pursed her lips in envy and stepped onto the spiral escalator. There was a rumble behind her and the wall closed again.
"Hey, Granger, why did you stop? Please, I'm so sleepy. I just want to lie down in bed right now."
Harry Potter, who was crawling in, felt a kick on the forehead. He raised his head and found that it was Hermione Granger who suddenly stopped in the middle of the hole in the wall. At this time, she was looking behind him with a puzzled face.
"Well, I seemed to have seen Elena just now."
Hermione blinked in confusion and looked at the stone monster at the other end of the corridor with some uncertainty. She just seemed to have seen a bright silver hair flash past there.
"Huh -" Harry couldn't help but yawned and shook his head dully, "How is that possible? The college where my eldest sister heads is said to be one floor below the auditorium."
——Yes, it’s probably because of dazzling eyesight.
Hermione shook her head with a dumbfounded smile. She was probably hallucinating because she felt uncomfortable on the first day of school. After all, that was the first friend she met in school. It was a pity that they were not assigned to the same college, otherwise
She actually wanted to chat more with Elena. But luckily, she should be able to see Elena in class tomorrow.
At the same time, the principal's office.
Albus Dumbledore sat behind the wooden desk with his hands folded, looking at Elena who came in through the door with interest, and said with a smile.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Miss Elena Kaslana. Let's briefly talk about some of the problems faced by Hogwarts after it was mortgaged."
Oops! Spicy Old Carrot is going to settle an old score!
"Sorry, I'm a little anxious. I need to go to the toilet first."
The expression on Elena's face froze, and she quickly turned around and pulled the door handle behind her.
There was a hint of helplessness in Dumbledore's eyes, and his two intertwined index fingers tapped each other easily. There was a soft click, and the oak door retracted tightly.
"Don't worry, it won't take long. Don't be too nervous. It's just a few short words. It's not a bad thing."
Desperately, he pulled the door hard. The silver-haired little Luoli turned around, pressed his back tightly against the door panel, and looked at the white-bearded old man behind the desk with vigilance.
"I believe you, you bad old man_____"

(The transitional chapter is a bit dull, plus it’s late. Sorry!! So this chapter is free.)
I thought about it for a long time today and deleted most of the content I wrote. On the one hand, it is because the first order is over 10,000, and the pressure of ordering over 10,000 each is much greater than I imagined. On the other hand, it is also because I re-examine myself.
I found that I couldn't help but get too excited during the Hogwarts mortgage and the sorting ceremony, so that the planned follow-up plot didn't look that amazing and was a bit out of place.
So I thought carefully and re-conceived the plot points, and finally came up with several plot points that are several times more exciting than before. I guarantee that everyone will be amazed by the god-level creativity and the unprecedented super satisfying creativity!!
Now my whole body is extremely excited, and my mind is full of plots. It’s just that my hand speed is limited, so I can’t decipher it at the moment!
I’ll let you have a great time watching it on the weekend!!
