Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

………………

After breakfast, the rest of the children started the morning class as usual, while Elena picked up breakfast to take care of Benitez who was still in bed.

The area of ​​the orphanage is not large, and Benitez ’s room is a few minutes away from the restaurant.

The peculiar wood and stone structure houses in the British area, although strong, are undoubtedly quite bad in terms of moisture and moisture resistance.

As soon as Elena pushed the door open, she felt the dampness peculiar to the lake house and frowned. The girl put the tray in her hand and walked to the window to open the window.

The cool breeze in the morning swept away the sense of humidity in the house, which refreshed the spirit.

"Fortunately, you are here, otherwise the orphanage must be a mess now, it is really hard for you."

A thick middle-aged man's voice came from behind Elena and turned around, only to see Benitez propped herself up from the bed and leaned against the wall, although his face was still pale because of the wind and migraine. However, compared with the stagnation of the previous few days, the spirit is obviously much better now.

"If you hide from me next time and secretly fight black fist to make money, I swear I will never control you next time."

The silver-haired girl snorted and walked aggressively to Benitez's bed. The blue eyes of the lake were filled with blame.

If there is a selection of good people, Benitez can definitely rank in the top few.

Benitez was born in a large and poor family, and his parents had no money to send him to school. When he used drugs and mixed society and asked the priest for help, he was expelled from the church. Fortunately, a Spanish brotherhood took him in and gave him education to become a priest.

Thinking of his childhood helpless experience, Benitez simply established an orphanage next to his chapel, relying on government subsidies, social donations, and his income as a priest to take care of orphans.

Elena was one of the orphans he picked up from the streets of London at that time. You must know that Elena, who had just traversed six years ago, couldn't even speak English. If she was not lucky enough to meet Benitez, maybe Even survival is very difficult.

However, as the children grow up, the funding for the orphanage is getting tighter.

In order to raise funds, Benitez, who did not want to give up the orphans, had to do part-time odd jobs in the neighboring town. A few days ago, he even secretly went to the city ’s underground boxing ring to fight black boxing.

If it wasn't because of the severe migraine attack caused by the wind chill, Benitez had to choose to confess to Elena for help. Elena may still be kept in the dark and enjoy a hearty three meals a day. .

Elena picked up the bowl vigorously, handed it to Benitez, and complained like a cannon.

"Last year ’s World Cup, there should be a lot of money left on the bet? Why should we fight the black boxing, and we have agreed on the financial source of the orphanage, let me think of a way. Drink the soup first-"

Although she was not a veteran fan in her previous life, because of the song "Don'tcryformeargentina", she still vaguely remembers the tragic Argentina led by Maradona this time, relying on those few unpopular games, she still earned nearly 6,000 pounds.

Even if the orphanage's house was renovated and everyone's meals were improved, at least there is no difficulty to be embarrassed to need Benitez to go to the underground boxing ground.

Benitez blew the soup bowl in his hand, took a sip, and replied blandly.

"The six thousand pounds I saved for you. The renovation of the house and three meals used the savings of the previous orphanage."

"Why ?! Who told you to save it!"

Hearing Benitez's answer, the silver-haired girl was like a blown cat, her arms were waving, and the man in front of him stared angrily and asked.

If not considering that his body had just recovered, Elena even had an urge to pounce on her.

Benitez shrugged and swallowed the fried egg in his mouth, looking at Elena with open teeth and curiously, pointing at the empty bowl in her hand and asked.

"Then tell me frankly, what is this? You need to know that the last time the Wildlife Conservation Association came to visit you because you were frying fish in the lake. Moreover, I do n’t know when there was a sudden increase It ’s called the Scottish round-faced fat chicken breed. "

Every time I asked this question before, Elena randomly found a reason to fool, so Benitez has always been curious about the source of this free chicken soup these days.

Elena spread her hand, so admit generously, "Well, this is actually stewed owl soup."

"O ... OWL (owl) ?! Are you a devil ?!"

Benitez made a strange whine in his throat, his mouth could be tucked in as big as an egg, and looked at Elena in shock.

——He originally thought it would be some other kind of wild bird. After all, there are various birds living on the shore of Loch Lomond all year round.

"That is, the past few days have been ... oh my Jesus! You are the devil!"

Benitez, who had recovered almost completely, suddenly felt a headache, raised his left hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "Fortunately, it is not the Middle Ages, otherwise you will definitely be sentenced as a witch. Only the legendary wizard will be Eat an owl. "

"No, as far as I know Chinese people used to eat, but now they are protected animals. Not to mention these, the taste is really good, and I guarantee that these are not wild animals located in the lakeside reserve."

Elena blinked, smiling flatteringly, raised her right hand to swear, and then continued to explain seriously.

"Owls have good medicinal value, nourishing yin and replenishing deficiency, the meat quality is more tender and smooth than ordinary chicken, after removing the internal organs, the whole body can be used as medicine. The most important thing is that the owl meat contains some medicinal ingredients that can relieve pain.

Is n’t this a recent headache for you? I think about using owls to stew soup to help you nourish your body. It's just a pity that Gastrodia is only available in Asia, otherwise, if you can stew a pot of Gastrodia Owl Soup, it will taste so simple.

Bang.

Just then, there was a strange sound on the window sill, which sounded like someone accidentally hit a half-open window.

Elena stopped her conversation alertly, turned her head and looked out the window, only to see a brown-black tabby cat fell off the eaves and fell on the open window sill.

I did n’t expect that there was such a clumsy wild cat, and I would stumble if I walked. Life must be difficult?

Elena blinked, grabbed a piece of meat from the Benitez bowl, squatted down, gently placed in front of the wild cat on the windowsill, and said with a smile.

"Kitten, eat it, eat it."

To her surprise, the next moment she saw the meat piece, the tabby cat was as if seriously offended. The whole cat exploded at once, making a deep grunt, obviously extremely angry.

Look carefully, there is a circle of strange square lines around the eyes of this tabby cat, and it is as if it is a pair of glasses.

Elena frowned and looked at the cat squatting on the window sill, wondering if it was an illusion. She seemed to see the same angry and condemned expression in those shiny cat eyes.

Silver-haired little loli passed a faint thought in her heart, and always felt as if she had forgotten something.

Forget it, it is not very important to think about it. Since I dare to lose my temper if I do n’t accept food, such a kitten is not cute at all.

Shook her head helplessly, Elena's eyes changed, and she suddenly stretched out her hand, pinched the soft skin behind the black cat's neck accurately, and lifted it out mercilessly out of the window.

"Meow meow!"

Know that this era of rabies vaccine is very troublesome, so it is better not to be scratched by wild cats.

After a short episode, Elena clapped her palms and looked back at Benitez, saying angrily.

"In short, I have confessed. Now it's your turn, why do you want to work so hard, or even earn money by playing black boxing."

Benitez sat upright, looked at the girl he had brought back from the streets of London six years ago, and said for a moment.

"You wanted to leave here early and study in the US?"

"Hey?!"

"You ... I was very worrying when I was a kid, and I was startled and said dreams every night."

Benister, said softly in his eyes, "Although most of what you say cannot be understood, some frequently repeated words can still be recognized."

Dream words? ! Fortunately, I usually speak Chinese in my dreams. Elena was afraid after a while, then looked at Benitez in confusion and asked, "Word?"

"Well, for example, Harvard University, Silicon Valley, Microsoft, Wall Street ..." Benitez frowned, trying to recall, "Most of the rest are some strange words, such as Apple, Blizzard, Amazon, Facebook, Tencent, Alibaba ... "

That's not a strange word, Elena's eyes flickered.

Ten years later, they are almost the entire world of the Internet. As a reborn, she almost keeps thinking about how to catch this train to the top of the big era every day.

After a pause, Benitez reached out and rubbed the silver hair above Elena ’s head. “Going to study abroad is a big expense. You should not be confined to the Scottish highlands by me and the orphanage, if you do n’t mind If so, I can find a way to apply for adoption. "

"Father Father ..."

Silver-haired little loli had mixed feelings for a time, grabbed the big hand above her head, and her eyes were complicated to prepare to say something.

Tuk Tuk.

At this time, UU reading books www. There was a sudden knock on the door outside uukanshu.com, and Bran's timid voice followed.

"Father Benitez, although I have repeated many times that you have physical inconveniences, this lady who claims to be McGill-Milwa still insists on visiting you face-to-face, saying that she is talking about the admission of Sister Elena. "

⊙? ⊙! Wait ... who's coming? !

Elena's eyes suddenly squinted round.

About Elena's enrollment? Without waiting for Elena to object, Benitez replied loudly without hesitation.

"It doesn't matter, my body is almost recovered. It's just that Elena is here, too. Ms. McGonagall, please come in."

Benitez did not notice that at this moment, Elena, who was confident and ready to talk about life planning, suddenly shook, almost subconsciously trying to escape through the window.

Megmileva? !

That Hogwarts Professor McGonagall? !

Elena suddenly reacted to the fleeting vague thoughts before.

——Professor McGonagall is an Animagus who can become a cat.

So to speak, the tabby cat who just heard the "Scottish round-faced fat chicken" cooking recipe and was thrown from the window sill by her ...

It ’s over, it ’s cold!

She did n’t want to experience the feeling of being turned into a kind of small animal because of violating school rules. Others are not easy to say. As a woman, Elena would not believe that Professor McGonagall would pretend to be so generous and did not happen before. Ever.

This time, even if the knife rested on her neck, starved to death on the street, and hit by a car, she would never step into Hogwarts.
