Chapter 894 Ghost Dinner (1)

"Really? I don't believe it."

Elena looked at Myrtle suspiciously.

"Did you collude with Professor Dumbledore in advance?"

"It's true, Miss Kaslana, if you are because of this bet..."

Myrtle's voice rose slightly, she looked timidly at the angry girl, and said cautiously.

"So from Professor Dumbledore's point of view, he didn't lie to you. But I don't have photographic memory. I just worked harder than others. After all, I am from a Muggle family, and I have too much to catch up on.

too much--"

"Hey, so you are really... the once-in-a-century top student who ruled Hogwarts back then."

Elena froze suddenly, her expression as if Christmas had ended early.

Facing Elena's disbelieving and suspicious eyes, Myrtle felt a strange emotion in her heart.

However, this subtle feeling of pride was quickly overwhelmed by another kind of frustration.

Myrtle lowered her head in despair, and there seemed to be fog again behind her pearl-colored glasses, and she sniffed.

"Sigh... I'm just better at rote memorization, but what's the use of having good grades? Do you know what others call me behind my back? Fat Myrtle! Ugly Myrtle! My face is full of acne..."

"It's simply amazing! Isn't it enough to have good grades?! We are witches who can do magic!"

Elena said with shining eyes, waved her hand proudly, and said with a murderous look on her face.

"In any school, if you have good grades, you can do whatever you want. If anyone dares to scold you behind your back, beat her! Even if you can't find evidence for a while, it doesn't matter. Anyway, beat her if she dares! If she ignores you, beat her too!

If she dares to sue the teacher...then come out after the solitary confinement and catch her and fight her to the end. Anyway, your grades are good, and if it lasts for a month, she will collapse——"

"Uh... uh huh?"

Weeping Myrtle looked blankly at the girl who suddenly became a little scary.

Elena's voice kept entering Myrtle's ears like magic.

"Knowledge is power. I will not offend others if they don't offend me. If someone offends me, they will be killed no matter how far away they are. If you think about it carefully, is it useful to give in when faced with cold violence and bullying? What really makes them surrender is besides being stronger.

Violence, what else?”

Along with Elena's voice, Myrtle couldn't help but begin to recall her previous experiences.

Most of them were scenes of Olive Humbey and other girls ridiculing her, and some were scenes of her chasing Olive Humbey for revenge. Finally, with the coordination of the Ministry of Magic, she accepted Humbey's apology.

Return to Hogwarts Castle.

If at the beginning, she was...

No, no!

You will definitely be locked up!

But it seems to make sense, as her spell performance is much better than that of Olive Humbe.

"For example, last semester, I heard that many girls in Ravenclaw were saying bad things about me..."

As Elena spoke, she glared threateningly at the hesitant wings around her, lowered her voice and told her story softly in a low, frustrated and helpless voice.

"At the beginning, I chose to swallow my anger. I thought I could convince them with knowledge. I naively thought that everyone could gradually become more generous under the influence of complex and profound wisdom. But I was wrong. Each small group was as cold as a cold

, the gravel with sharp edges responded to my kindness with cold curses... So I changed my approach."

Elena's voice gradually became louder, mixed with a hint of dangerous pleasure.

"Wha, in what way...you severely...scared...well, beat them?"

Myrtle subconsciously stopped sobbing, asked softly with curiosity and expectation, and nervously tightened her clothes.

"No, that's a last resort - extraordinary wisdom is mankind's greatest wealth."

Elena shook her head gently, showing a gentle smile.

"We cannot fight violence with injustice, but we must learn to fight back under the rules - In the Quidditch match against Ravenclaw House, I used the Quaffle to shoot down all of them. Cruelly, not one of them was killed.

The remaining ones, openly and honestly, completely defeated them. Myrtle, do you think I did the right thing?"

"Well, eh, this..."

Myrtle looked at Elena blankly, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"So from the beginning of this semester, you are permanently suspended."

Hermione rolled her eyes angrily at Her Highness the Witch, who could even deceive ghosts, and turned to look at Myrtle.

"Good evening, Myrtle... don't listen to this white-haired dumpling's nonsense. She has now become almost a public enemy of Ravenclaw House. At least half of the nights a week, students spend all night in the corridors.

He cursed this bastard in a low voice."

As the new "Computing Girl", after learning about Myrtle's past experience, she naturally developed some wonderful feelings of identity: she was born as a Muggle, read books and previewed seriously, except for competing for the top spot in grade.

, she can't beat a certain unreasonable white-haired dumpling for the time being, and Myrtle is simply a replica of her - in terms of learning.

In fact, if it weren't for Elena, if she entered Ravenclaw Academy, she might have been bullied and ostracized.

Compared with the simple and enthusiastic Gryffindor, the small group on the Ravenclaw side is too complicated.

"It's not a curse, a more accurate statement is... chanting my name."

Elena corrected quite seriously.

You can't blame her - if you can't answer the eagle ring question, you won't be able to enter the lounge. This is a Ravenclaw rule.

As a pioneer in leading Hogwarts education, she just updated and optimized the school's hardware configuration.

Not to mention, the velvet sleeping bags at Hogwarts are quite warm, and each floor of Hogwarts also has bathrooms for male and female students. Everything is done within the limits allowed by the rules.

This is Hogwarts where you learn magic. It is not complicated to use magic spells flexibly and rationally to solve personal hygiene problems.

"Well, I'm so hungry... Elena, can we talk while we walk?"

Hannah complained bitterly, poking Elena and Hermione's backs with her fingers.

Compared with the two tablets with relatively low energy consumption, as the heavily equipped main battle tank in "Nanana", she is not that resistant to hunger, not to mention that in addition to normal physical consumption, due to frequent use

The "healing magic text" maintains moral order, and Hannah's food intake requirements are almost close to a quarter of Mr. Hagrid.

"Come on, let's go see what we can eat. Myrtle, do you want to come with us?"

Elena nodded and extended an invitation to Myrtle floating aside.

"Ghosts can't taste..."

Myrtle said sadly, her eyes lingering on Elena and others for a moment, "However, if you want to come and chat with me later, you can come to my bathroom at any time - I, I will not disturb you.

Or yelling at you."

"That's not necessarily the case. It may have been like this before, but don't forget who I am..."

Elena blinked and puffed up her chest with great pride.

"I am the chef of Hogwarts. Today's death anniversary party is originally prepared for ghosts and living people. I have studied the literature carefully. Ghosts are not completely isolated from reality. Don't you want to try it?

What..."

"Food that ghosts can also eat?"

Luna looked curiously at the dining table not far away. This was something even her father had never thought about.

"It's not entirely accurate. I should say... I can only taste it a little bit, I guess?"

Elena said with some uncertainty, shrugging her shoulders, "Whether it has any effect, I still have to try it to know. There are not many special dishes like this, but from a purely theoretical point of view, I think it has a certain effect."

Feasible.”

In the magical world, the worlds of the living and the dead are like two sides of a mirror, unable to touch or interfere with each other.

This is almost common sense in the wizarding world.

However, from Elena's point of view, it is not that there is no chance at all.

If it weren't for her butterfly fanning the trajectory of history, then during this semester, the almost headless Nick could enjoy Madam Pomfrey's magic potion - he would become the target of the third batch of basilisk attacks and become

"Petrified Ghost".

It was only after "taking" the petrifying agent brewed from mandrake that he could recover.

Although the original work does not describe in detail how the ghost drinks the medicine, it still reveals an important detail.

Ghosts can be affected by magic potions.

In other words, under certain circumstances, magic can act on spiritual bodies.

This means that if you incorporate cooking techniques into cooking, it is not impossible to make magic dishes that ghosts can perceive. Tonight's death anniversary party is used to test the tastes of ghosts and verify their conjectures.

of.

Compared to house elves who can get tired, get injured, or die, ghosts can be said to be the best employees in the world. In addition to not being able to perform physical work, they have too many ways to liberate the labor force - ever since I saw that they can

Professor Binns, the "cute fairy queen" who teaches 24/7, has been thinking about this matter.

The only limitation before was that Gringotts could not provide rewards for attracting ghosts.

but……

Elena's eyes wandered around the hall, flashing with the kindness that belonged to a big capitalist.

If the Hogwarts kitchen could produce ghost delicacies, who knows how many ghosts could resist this temptation?



"Look, there's something to eat."

After a while, they arrived at the other end of the banquet hall.

Just like Elena's previous design, the buffet area here is clearly divided into two parts.

If you look down from above, you can clearly see that the U-shaped dining table displays two colors, just like an enlarged version of the horseshoe magnet in the black and white photo - the students are all gathered in the white area, and the black area

Extremely deserted.

This can't be blamed on the little wizards being picky eaters, the main reason is that the dishes on the black velvet table look too terrible.

Burnt eyeballs were piled on the dinner plate, straws were inserted into the bare bones as if they were drinks, coagulated blood was floating in the soup, strange vegetables were quietly oozing red juice, and intestines were taken out and cut into pieces.

The segments are mixed with chili peppers, showing brown-black devil eggs, fried black and white cubes exuding an unknown stench...

Compared with these things that looked like they were not edible for living people, the little wizards of Gryffindor naturally chose the other side.

Although the little lions at Hogwarts are generally considered to be the most reckless, they are actually very clever. At least judging from last year's weekend game time and the extra income from the potato war, Gryffindor was a sure profit in the end.

Not a loss.

Even if there is no label, you can understand which ones are dinners for living people just by looking at the dishes.

"...Uh, why are you going to the ghost restaurant?"

Elena pretended to be surprised and sighed in the dining area, then walked towards the black velvet side without hesitation.

As the head chef of Hogwarts, she naturally knows what the recipe for today's dinner is.

In order to fit the atmosphere of the death anniversary party and Halloween, the recipes Elena set for "living people" actually look weird in terms of visual effects, but the cooking techniques and ingredients are normal dishes, such as: Exploded Lamb Eyeballs,

Secret big stick bone, pickled pepper duck blood, stir-fried red amaranth, hot sausage, cold preserved egg, crispy stinky tofu...

No matter in terms of taste or ingredients, it is all top-notch Chinese cuisine.

"Huh? Wait, isn't it this way?"

Hannah watched dumbfoundedly as Elena began to serve the dishes on the black velvet side, and asked in confusion.

"Of course not, white is a funeral - well, actually the food on both sides is edible, but my personal suggestion is to eat the food here first, you see Luna has no intention of going that way.

."

Elena explained casually, then nodded in realization.

"Oh, I understand...I forgot to put the dish instructions."

Then, she clapped her hands gently.

Two huge signs appeared on the sides of the dining tables.

On the white side it says "Suggestion: Ghost", while on the black side it says "Suggestion: Living Person".

In addition, rows of small triangular metal plates also appeared next to each dish, carefully noting the name of each dish and the cooking process - there is also a row of menus under the sign at the entrance.

overview.

"This is of no use at all!"

Hannah looked angrily at Elena, who was rather perfunctory, and pointed at a line of small words on the white side.

"Casumazu cheese, haggis, Icelandic frozen shark slices, fermented bean curd...these foods are obviously more reliable than the one you choose. You wouldn't be worried about wasting food, so you would mix them up on purpose."

Sign up!"

Ever since he learned the true identity of the "Forbidden Forest Velvet Soft-shell Crab", Tie Hanhan would mostly be extra vigilant about the raw materials when being fed - Luna and Hermione were all unreliable villains, and they were clearly aware of the

There was something wrong with the pile of "crab legs", and they had to join forces to coax her to finish it all by herself.

As for Elena, Hannah had never seen anything she wouldn't eat, so it had no reference value at all.

"Of course that's not the case. You'll know later..."

Elena shook her head meaningfully and glanced at the buffet table next door.

As the name of the dish and the cooking process gradually emerged, some little wizards began to freeze in place and silently began to move their positions, but more careless Gryffindor students immediately filled in and quickly added more to the plate.

Serve your favorite dishes.

This can be regarded as a valuable lesson in the lives of Gryffindor students.

Sometimes, you can't just look at the surface...
