21. Hot chicken anchor, just burn it
"Morning, Elaine, do you want to practice the piano?" Hermione raised her head from the stack of books and greeted Elaine.
"No, let's play it after class. I want to have breakfast first, then walk around the castle and get familiar with the location of the classroom."
Elaine looked at Miss Granger's pile of books. Fortunately, the stacks of Transfiguration textbooks, Standard Spells, and History of Magic were about as high as Harry Potter 4, 5, and 6 stacked together, which was not too exaggerated.
After that, Elaine planned to find a good day and let Hermione be crushed by the fallen pile of books to see if she could stop her from giving off the aura of being a top student.
Although it is difficult, something must be done. The education atmosphere in the UK is different from that in China. Academic master is considered a negative term here. Adding to Miss Granger's personality, it is not unreasonable for Hermione to only have two friends, Harry and Ron.
If she could play Quidditch like Professor McGonagall, but she remembered the broomstick rolling around on the ground in the movie, Elaine felt that the future was difficult.
"Good idea. I'll go with you. There's half the parchment left. I want to order some more. What should I do?" Hermione began to pack up the things on the table.
"Although I can ask Nott to buy it, let's try ordering it by mail this time. Go to the Owl Room and use the school's owl. I'll put the order address in the parchment roll. You can look for it."
Elaine really didn't want to talk about it anymore. She bought it five times the amount of homework for the first month of freshmen's life. It was for two people. Classes hadn't started yet. Wasn't it because Hermione was copying the text or writing so fast that her hands wouldn't hurt?
"I've found it. I'm going to change my uniform. I'll be down soon." Hermione said happily.
Watching her go upstairs, Elaine sighed. She really didn't want to be a nanny. There were a lot of wealthy friends in the live broadcast room who used their popularity points to force her.
What else could I do but succumb to Manny's power?
By the way, there's something that needs to be done.
"Let's go Elaine, what are you writing?"
"Write notes." Elaine had the Potions textbook in front of her, and she was holding on to the tail of her quill in distress, "I can't remember what you called the Aconitum scapulae."
She didn't want to start the live broadcast early in the morning, as people always have to maintain some privacy, so Elaine planned to start it after class.
Although I have finished reading the History of Magic textbook a long time ago, I heard that Professor Binns is not a caretaker and will add a lot of information, which should arouse the interest of most water friends.
"Aconitum, also known as Aconitum nuggata or Aconitum wolfsbane, is now only found in the wild. Its flowers and roots are used to make potions and are an important ingredient in Wolfsbane potions. Although The leaves of Aconitum are highly toxic, but they are still used medicinally to relieve pain and diuresis─"
"That's enough, know-it-all, you can tell me the rest when Professor Snape wants us to write a report." Elaine hastily wrote down the information about Aconitum in the textbook and threw the book aside. Nott wants it back in its place. "I'm hungry, let's go."
"Don't call me know-it-all, it's a weird title and Potions doesn't have classes only on Fridays."
"Yes, yes, Miss Know-it-all."

It was already half past seven when Elaine and Hermione arrived at the restaurant. Although they followed yesterday's route, the stairs on the fourth floor inexplicably led to other places, so they had to go around half a circle before following the guidance of the portrait. Find the restaurant.
"At this time, I feel that Hufflepuff and Slytherin are better. At least they don't have to climb stairs to go to class."
Elaine complained while choosing breakfast. The long dining table was filled with all kinds of food. It was much better than the meat and potatoes banquet last night. There were also drinks other than pumpkin juice, which made Elaine's gourmet heart grow. A little redemption.
As soon as she picked up the toast, someone sat next to her, but Elaine didn't take it to heart at all.
But opposite Hermione, she stared at the person as if she had seen a ghost. Could it be Lavender? So she turned her head.
"Hey, this is the Gryffindor table."
"What does it matter? We are all students of Hogwarts, so there is no need to divide them too finely." Daphne smiled brightly, and easily took a piece of bread for herself and Elaine. "Besides, aren't we friends?"
"I thought there was a consensus on the train." Elaine said with emphasis, while throwing the bread into Hermione's plate, "I don't want to be friends with people who have bad intentions and want to peep into secrets, okay."
"In other words, as long as it's someone who really wants to be friends with you, it's fine, so I meet the conditions."
"How does Legilimency fit in?" Hermione threw the bread back into Daphne's plate in displeasure.
"This is not what I want. Besides, I don't have the ability now. Look." Daphne opened her tie and showed them her necklace, a sapphire about the size of an egg. "The calming stone can act as an Occlumency technique."
"Try this to lie to Malfoy, only he will believe it." Elaine sneered, "The Quiet Stone does have the effect of resisting mental magic, but the effect is just that, it is useless against a real master."
"But I'm not an expert. I'm just an eleven-year-old girl who likes music very much. Maybe there's a little abnormality." Daphne's tone was a little lonely. "I can't even control myself. If I don't wear this, I will be beaten by a lot of people soon." My thoughts are going crazy, there are too many people here.”
Hermione seemed about to say something, but Elaine answered first.
"Yes, yes. If you were not a Slytherin, I might believe that enjoying music is not enough reason for the eldest daughter of Greengrass to get close to me at the risk of affecting the family's reputation."
"Originally it was not enough, but your performance yesterday changed everything - even your father, the best Shafiq in a century, took fifteen years to make the illusion perform a simple single movement."
"What does that have to do with me?" Elaine said expressionlessly as she picked apart the small tomatoes that Hermione had brought.
She wanted to complain since three years ago. Why do these people love to mention Adair Shafiq so much just because he is her father?
Then why didn't anyone go to Harry and tell him about James? Harry still doesn't know that his father is good at playing Quidditch.
"because of you"
"Elaine, why don't you wake us up?"
Percy had just walked in with a large group of Gryffindor freshmen. It was almost eight o'clock, and many students had come to the dining hall to prepare for their meals in preparation for the first class at nine o'clock.
Lavender's lively voice came, and she jumped up and grabbed the empty seat on the other side of Elaine.
Hermione's fingers tightened on her fork. She stopped looking at Elaine, Lavender and Daphne and ate the food in front of her seriously and quickly.
Daphne, who was wearing a silver-green tie, immediately received caring looks from a large number of Gryffindor students. She smiled gracefully and did not stand up to give up her position to Parvati. Instead, she directly hugged Elaine's arm.
Now it was interesting. Not to be outdone, Lavender also hugged Elaine's other hand. Now the two girls could tear Elaine in half as long as they exerted their strength.
Elaine was speechless. Such childish behavior actually appeared in Hogwarts. How did those idiot wizards teach children? Fortunately, she was smart enough not to start a live broadcast and embarrass herself.
The idea recognition was successful and the live broadcast has been started.
Don't hold back the incense, I want to put this incense on the anchor's head
Damn it, I was fed a big mouthful of dog food early in the morning while waiting in the live broadcast room without eating breakfast.
Wow, did the anchor wake up early to show off?
Time travel means having a harem, even though the host is also a woman
Parvati is behind her, she is very hot
FBI? Someone abducted a young girl here, and four more?
Hermione didn't say a word and left without looking back xddd
The anchor is really popular, but it’s a pity that there is no little Gou Gou
Hot chicken anchor, just burn it
