Chapter 65 A Mysterious Way of Practice From the East (Third Update! Akimbo! Hing!)

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the first-year students who were feasting in the auditorium.

Hannah, who was sitting next to Elena, even screamed loudly, stretched out her hand and shook the absent-minded silver-haired little Loli vigorously.

"Oh my God, look! What is that?"

squeak——

Inadvertently, Elena swayed her arm, and the fork in her hand struck the golden dinner plate hard, making a tooth-piercing sound.

The girl immediately shook uncomfortably and quickly threw away the metal fork - the sound was no less than a torture to her - she really couldn't understand why Europeans were so keen on using metal tableware.

"What's going on? What's all the fuss about..."

Elena glared at the culprit beside her and asked in a bad tone. She was also from Hufflepuff House. She had a hundred ways to make classmate Hannah realize her mistake.

"Look at the sky..." The little girl with golden braids shrank her head and weakly pointed to the side.

Following Hannah's fingers, Elena raised her head in confusion. I saw about twenty ghosts suddenly floating on the walls around the auditorium.

These pearly-white, translucent ghosts glided across the entire auditorium while waving friendly to the students, as if they were celebrities attending some grand ceremony.

"Relax, these are the ghosts in residence at Hogwarts. Wizards can leave their own mark on this world, so that they can continue to walk in the places where they have lived and walked."

Elena patted Hannah's hand, smiled and explained calmly, looking at the ghosts with particularly complicated eyes.

It has to be said that ghosts in the magical world are very wonderful existences. In a sense, they have achieved immortality - their souls are precisely the most mysterious part of today's non-magical world's technological level.

Even according to the resident ghost of Gryffindor House, "Nearly Headless Nico", paying a certain high price is enough to make countless people who are afraid of death flock to it. (For more information, click here to expand)

"If you are interested, you can ask Gryffindor's resident ghost, Sir Nicholas Deminsey-Porpington, how to transform into a ghost after death."

However, what Elena did not say was that the ghosts of Hogwarts actually have another more terrifying way of being formed - that is, becoming the "earthbound spirit" of the castle.

The most obvious example of this is "Moaning Myrtle" who died in the eyes of a basilisk in the girls' bathroom on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle, and the history of magic teacher who truly accomplished "devoting herself to death", Bin. Professor Sculthbert.

This conjecture became more and more certain after she signed the contract with Gringotts: Hogwarts is a creation with extremely powerful magic, and it itself possesses some kind of chaotic willpower. Because of this, it Only then can you independently choose the principal's inheritance and decide whether the magic contract takes effect...

It can be inferred from this that Hogwarts is likely to spontaneously set up magic with the students and teachers.

Once a student or teacher dies suddenly, they automatically remain in Hogwarts and become a ghost. (As for why Fred died in the war and did not return, it may be because the two brothers dropped out of school⊙▽⊙)

Elena raised her left hand and stared silently at the invisible contract at the end of the smooth hand.

She has no doubt that if she dies unexpectedly at this time, there is a high possibility that her soul will stay in this castle and become the new "Earthbound Spirit".

"Are you going to protect this place forever after death? Or was it accidentally tricked by Dumbledore? I hope he won't regret it when the time comes. After all, ghosts are not all good-tempered children."

Elena curled her lips, smiled maliciously, raised her head and opened her eyes wide, carefully distinguishing among the ghosts that appeared.

It was a pity that until her eyes were a little sore, she could not see the figure of a short ghost with a wide face, big mouth and round eyes, wearing bright clothes, tie and hat.

"Oh, dear, isn't the food to your liking?"

A chubby little monk-like ghost swayed next to Elena, with a kind smile on his chubby round face.

"Or do you have any confusion that you need my help to answer? However, I suggest you talk while eating. The dinner time will soon pass."

"After all, it looks really delicious." The fat monk ghost glanced at the tempting aroma of food on Hufflepuff's long table and said sadly.

"However, I was just a little irritated by the scraping sound of the knife and fork just now."

Elena shrugged noncommittally, glanced at the metal knives and forks that were thrown aside, hesitated slightly and took out two wands from her arms, pulled the tablecloth and wiped them carefully.

"Ai...Sister Elena, I didn't mean it just now. I, I will help you pour the pumpkin juice."

Little Hannah's smile was a little stiff. When she was waiting in the queue to be sorted, she had already heard the boy named Ron talking about Elena's brilliant achievements on the train.

Combined with the magical ability shown by the silver-haired girl when crossing the lake before, Hannah couldn't even muster the courage to resist.

Dude, dunk, dunk.

Under the shocked gazes of Fat Monk Ghost and Hannah Abbott, Elena skillfully put the two wands together, tapped the ends neatly on the table, and picked up a piece of beef in a magical gesture and stuffed it into her mouth.

Hmm~

Elena narrowed her eyes happily. Sure enough, this was the most comfortable way to eat - specifically asking Mr. Ollivander to polish the wand so that the lower circle was above the top was a wise choice.

"Well, thank you."

After taking the golden goblet filled with pumpkin juice, Elena glanced at Hannah who suddenly became attentive in a strange way, turned her head, chewed the beef, and said vaguely to the fat monk.

"Delicious? Maybe. Only if you have been to the mysterious East will you know what delicious food is."

More than six years of living in an orphanage in the Scottish Highlands completely eliminated the spoiled and picky eating habits in Elena's soul in her previous life. Although she still has high standards for delicious food, it does not mean that she will refuse the food that comes to her mouth.

For a foodie, the most sympathetic people are those who have all kinds of strange taboos.

"The East? I heard that it is a scary and magical place. Unfortunately, since we turned into ghosts, we can no longer feel the delicious food."

The fat monk shook his head regretfully, not really wanting to discuss this issue. He nodded politely and drifted forward along the bench.

"Sister Elena, what are you..."

Hannah Abbott on the side finally couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, stared at the pair of wands in Elena's hands with her big eyes, and asked with a slight hesitation.

Hannah Abbott, who comes from a magical family, is no stranger to various uses of wands, but she has never seen the use of wands directly as tableware, and she also eats in such a strange, never-before-seen way. Way.

"Oh, you said this.

Elena looked around. Except for Hannah Abbott, many nearby first-year students and even senior Hufflepuff students had turned their attention to her. Some of them had heard her introduction about ghosts. And more of them are attracted by the girl's peculiar way of eating.

They are really a group of curious children. It seems a bit cruel to simply explain this as "chopsticks". Elena thought for a while, smiled slightly, and said leisurely in an inscrutable tone.

"This is actually an ancient way of practicing magic. The wand is an extension of every wizard's body. Cultivating a tacit understanding between oneself and the wand is what every wizard must do. Using a wand to assist with eating can, on the one hand, consolidate the relationship between people and On the other hand, the bond between wands can also exercise our fingers, allowing us to make dexterous spell-casting movements. Of course, this is a more difficult way of practice. Therefore, at the beginning, I suggest that you use ordinary small wooden sticks for practice.”

"Next, let me demonstrate it to you."

In the eyes of a group of little wizards who seemed to understand, Elena raised the black walnut "chopsticks" in her hand, accurately picked up a piece of fragrant grilled bacon from Hannah's plate, and stuffed it into her small mouth that opened in surprise. Hannah's little loli mouth.

——Let’s take it as compensation for stealing the Iron Throne from Hannah’s classmate.

The silver-haired little loli narrowed her eyes cutely and said proudly.

"Look, after long-term training, the flexibility of your fingers will be several times that of ordinary wizards."
