Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

Time passed quickly, and around half past twelve, a loud noise came from the corridor.

A woman with a bright smile and dimples pushed open the compartment door, pointed to the trolley she was holding on to, looked at the three children who were immersed in reading and asked, "Honey, would you like to buy some snacks from the trolley?" ?”

Ron, who was already absent-minded, first raised his head, glanced at the dazzling array of trolleys, and smiled awkwardly, "No, thank you."

As he spoke, Ron took out a bulging plastic bag from his arms. Several flattened sandwiches were squeezed together, which seemed unappetizing. He tried his best to move his cheeks and showed an embarrassing smile. He muttered quietly.

"I brought my own sandwich."

After saying that, Ron quickly put down the sandwich in his hand and looked out the window. Elena noticed that Ron's ears turned red again, and it was obvious that he was not very satisfied with the sandwich.

"Sorry ma'am, I don't have to either."

Elena also shook her head and refused, not that she just wanted to eat and drink.

In fact, since that day's trip to Hogwarts, Elena's small vault has been confiscated.

Both pounds and gold galleons were "kept" by the hateful adults to prevent her from secretly going somewhere else to cause trouble.

According to Dumbledore and Benitez, if Elena wants to buy something, just tell them directly. As for taking the initiative to touch money, at least don't even think about it before school starts.

Therefore, except for a large box of snacks, Elena was truly penniless at this time and couldn't buy anything she wanted to.

"Hey, Ron. If you don't mind, I'll trade this for you."

Turning her head and glancing at Ron who was silent, the silver-haired little loli thought for a while, walked to the suitcase, took out a box of chocolate balls wrapped in golden foil and handed it to Ron.

"I heard Fred and the others say when we got on the train that Mrs. Weasley has to take care of you seven children. I think she should be quite good at her job."

"But……"

Ron glanced at Elena hesitantly and subconsciously wanted to hide the sandwich that was crushed into a ball in his hand.

"Don't worry, this is just normal chocolate. The flagship product produced by the Italian Ferrero Company. If it weren't for the fear of gaining weight, I wouldn't give it to you."

Raising her eyebrows, Elena simply stretched out her hand, snatched the sandwich from Ron's hand, and then threw the chocolate ball in her hand into the boy's arms.

As a positive microcosm of the wizarding world, especially after reading Harry Potter books one to seven, it is difficult for you to have a bad feeling towards the Weasley family.

Almost everyone dreams about whether, if possible, the family can live a less embarrassing life when reading a book.

After all, apart from not implementing family planning properly, there are almost no obvious black spots in Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, a pair of model parents.

"You're not going to like this. It's too dry. It's canned corned beef in the sandwich, and actually, it's not that good."

Ron, who was caught off guard and had his sandwich taken away, shook his head and said sadly.

"She doesn't have time,"

Seemingly feeling something was wrong, he quickly added, "Look, I mean, she has to take care of six of us at the same time... I mean, this doesn't represent mom's skills."

Ron blushed, stood up, and tried to snatch the crumpled plastic bag back from Elena's hand.

"Don't worry, Ron. I'm not a spoiled young lady, and [picky eaters] does not exist in my dictionary."

Elena shrugged, opened the plastic bag, took out the cold sandwich and took a bite.

"You know, when the orphanage was first established, in order to save food for other children, Father Benitez and I could only eat black bread that was as hard as a rock almost every day."

There was a look of nostalgia in the girl's eyes. Benitez, who came from Spain, was not welcomed by the British church. In addition, there was a small burden that he did not load the language pack when he traveled through time. During that time, the first year and the first year The two young people tried their best to maintain the small orphanage.

You know, the filth and ugliness under the London fog are far more cruel and disgusting than the banana people who don't know the truth.Maintaining a 90s orphanage is like walking in purgatory.

In comparison, whether it was the childish bullying that Harry endured or the family embarrassment that Ron faced, they were really nothing worth mentioning.

Of course, this is what Benitez has always been most reassured about. As long as the orphanage and he are still there, Elena is determined not to deviate from the right path. Even Dumbledore, who signed an unbreakable oath, does not have this point. Si is so sure.

"Wait, Elena, you are an orphan?!"

Hearing Elena's words, Ron and Harry's eyes widened in surprise. In their opinion, the silver-haired girl with elegant manners and rich knowledge has nothing to do with the word orphan.

"Actually, strictly speaking, he is not an orphan. Let's not talk about that."

Elena shook her head slightly, not wanting to talk too much about this issue. She raised her head and smiled at Ron, pointed at the sandwich in her hand, and gave a thumbs up with a sincere expression.

"To be honest, it tastes very good. The beef in the middle has been cooked in a tomato soup strainer, right? It's moderately salty and has the taste of ripe tomato juice."

"Then the cheese in the middle is also fried, and it is firmly attached to the bread. It is made with great care! It is definitely not the kind of food you think of as casual."

If the level of British cuisine is rated at [-]%, Mrs. Weasley's craftsmanship is at least [-]%, although the sandwich looks simple and the presentation is not that exquisite.

But as a foodie, whether it's the lightly fried cheese layer or the corned beef cooked in tomato soup, Elena can clearly feel Mrs. Weasley's heart.

"Huh? I don't know, that's it..."

Ron nodded blankly, his expression became much more natural. Although he couldn't understand Elena's words, one thing was clear, it seemed that the sandwich made by his mother was not as bad as he imagined.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you. I've long wanted to try Muggle chocolate."

After carefully observing Elena's expression, Ron relaxed his brows, waved his hands generously, lowered his head and began to unwrap the Ferrero Rocher chocolate balls wrapped in golden tin foil.

Seeing that the expression on Ron's face became brighter, Elena kept smiling and swallowed the sour, salty, and cold sandwich in her mouth without changing her expression. Her intentions did not reflect her cooking skills, and besides, sandwiches were inherently trouble-free. synonymous with, there is no need to whitewash this point.

But there is no need to tell Ron about this. In Elena's view, Ron's character that many people later criticized cannot be entirely attributed to such a sensitive and immature child.

As a member of the Iron Triangle, Ron's existence is more often used to set off Harry's bravery or Hermione's wisdom. This is a cruel arrangement that is particularly anti-human.

——No one wants to live in the shadow of someone else's glory forever, even if that person is your best friend. That's why there was such an emotional outburst during the Triwizard Tournament in the fourth grade.

At home, as the youngest son, unlike Ginny who was doted on by thousands of people, Ron was at the bottom of the family.

As he said himself, his brothers had almost all the positive role models, and if he could do it, it would be no big deal because they had done it before him.

If there is no emergency, Ron will never need new things. He wears Bill's old robes, uses Charlie's old wand, and Percy throws away the unwanted mice, and wears an ugly second-hand dress for the ball...

Perhaps for the Weasleys, this was the best allocation they could make from a family perspective in their difficult living environment, but all this was undoubtedly extremely unfair to a child.

Harry's generosity is certainly a manifestation of good character, but in Elena's view, apart from gaining a series of wealthy 666s and a follower, it actually failed to lead Ron in a positive direction. How much inspiration and change comes.

It would even make his self-doubt of being abandoned in his heart even more serious.

Because, from the beginning, what Ron needed was not pity, nor was it to become a great star.

What Ron wants is actually very simple, but very complicated - the recognition and attention of society and his relatives on his "individual" existence.

This is true, but...

Elena glanced at the Ferrero Rocher chocolate in Ron's hand with a troubled face.

The outside of the small chocolate ball was covered with milk chocolate and chopped hazelnuts, and inside there were wafers, soft chocolate and a whole hazelnut. From such a close distance, Elena could clearly hear the sound of the wafer layer being broken open by her teeth. The sound is crisp.

QAQ~ (poke his finger silently in aggrieved mind).

The silver-haired little loli swallowed, kept smiling, and took another bite of the sandwich - she really wanted to eat it, it was obviously a snack specially bought for her by Benitez's father.

What is that big dog owner over there looking at?Hurry up and make a gesture!

Glancing at Harry Potter who was sitting on his seat and curiously looking at the items on the trolley, Elena roared crazily in her heart.

At least order a glass of pumpkin juice for her first. You won't let her go to the suitcase to get a bottle of Coke and screw yourself up, right? !

PS: Hey, let’s digress a little bit and talk about this chapter. (A bit long, can be skipped)

I know a lot of people may not like Ron.Many HP fans default to Black Ron as a glorious form of political correctness.

Not only because he stole Hermione, but also because compared to other characters, he is too mediocre and full of shortcomings, just like the stupid us in reality.

At first I also thought about whether to continue writing him as a backdrop for the protagonist or as a buffoon.However, when I brought Ron's perspective and thought about how he would view the world at this age, I suddenly felt unhappy for him.

Why is it that Neville's little efforts and changes can be talked about by others, while Ron's hard work and various growth along the way are infinitely underestimated and taken for granted, just like when he was in the Weasley family Same.Many people say, why should Fred die? It is better to let Ron die. At first glance, it seems to be in line with everyone's preferences, but this kind of publicly known cruelty is actually the erasure of personal value that happens to each of us over time. .

So, Elena is back, and she is not a completely righteous Virgin White Lotus.She is a little devil, a third-generation demon, and an enemy of magical creatures, but, just like me, her purpose is to make this story a fairy tale.In fairy tales, everyone will not be useless or insignificant.

In my opinion, a schizophrenic murderous faceless monster is enough for the bad guys.

Just as Human World Arsenal, the author of "The Age of Countercurrent Innocence", said when he finished the book, I hope everyone will be treated warmly by this world.
