If you can make your heart often marvel at the wonder of everyday life, the wonder of your sorrows will not diminish your joy, and you will bear the seasons of your heart's sky, as often as you bear the seasons from the fields. --"prophet"

I sat in a shadowy corner high up in the courtroom, leaning back in my chair and looking indifferently at the Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald standing in the middle who was being tried by the Wizengamot.His hands were tightly bound behind his back by thick iron chains with enchanted thumbs, but he still held his head up proudly, facing the hundreds of respected wizards Grindelwald staring at him with flat and contemptuous expressions, completely indifferent The consciousness of a prisoner, I have begun to admire him for this.

Gellert Grindelwald may not have been as vigorous as he used to be, but his talent for eloquence and leadership has not been lost by failure.I watched coldly that a small half of the Wizengamot members below were smeared with honey by him. With such a simple few words, they directly instigated rebellion, and began to quarrel with their partners a few minutes ago because their sympathy began to favor him. There are also some violent people who rolled up their sleeves and pulled out their wands to fight the opponent.

I groaned and sat up straight, reached out and touched the bridge of my nose, while looking at it, I took out the double-sided mirror in my pocket to send information to Riddle, I thought he would be interested in this senior of mine.I put the double-sided mirror on the table and faced the bottom, and I looked at the man surrounded by the crowd from the side with my half-supported face. A member of Sengama, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Of course, the quarrel is also temporary, even if it lasted the whole day, the court started at seven o'clock in the morning and didn't end until the evening. Devore's verdict.Gellert Grindelwald was sentenced to lifelong rape in the prison he himself built - Nurmengard. In view of his previous status, Gellert Grindelwald will receive treatment commensurate with his status, that is A quiet single cell.When the punishment was uttered by His Excellency, there was a wave of boos like a tsunami, occasionally mixed with the sound of smashing things and slapping the table. The aching ears shrank back to the quiet corner.But when my eyes accidentally glanced at Grindelwald standing below, I was surprised to find that he was so calm and composed, with no negative emotions such as depression, resentment, pain, etc. on his face, and his eyes were slightly smiling.

Before Grindelwald was pushed away by the two Aurors, he looked around the circular venue with sharp eyes and arrogantly, as if everyone was ignored by him, Grindelwald suddenly laughed, even He was surrounded by quite a few dementors, and he still laughed wildly.Everyone was silent for a few seconds, and the loud shouts suddenly broke out again, this time changing from hissing to hateful condemnation and cursing, but not many people dared to really do anything to him, of course It makes me think that the exasperation may also account for a large part of their already boiling emotions.

Maybe it's because of being a British wizard in an isolated overseas island country, I don't quite understand the hatred of wizards on the European continent for the Dark Lord, but I don't think I can provoke them on this now, anyway, my work is over isn't it?So I put away the double-sided mirror properly, and then quietly shuttled through the angry wizards, and left this place.

After this task was completed, Riddle gave me a long vacation so that I could have a good honeymoon with Theresa, and then he took Stella and left the UK quietly. It is said that they are going to the European continent Study and study for several years.At the same time, all of us members of the Walpes Knights got the news that Riddle ordered us to be silent first, and secretly infiltrate the British wizarding world until Tom Riddle returns in glory. I believe he will lead us to glory the future of.

In the next few years, I have taken over the family affairs from my father and gradually become familiar with it, while news from Riddle's side has come intermittently.And the most recent one is that he found a life mentor in Germany who can really guide him, and he is following him for further study. For this reason, he will delay his trip for at least a year, but this may be a good thing Maybe Hogwarts doesn't have a class that teaches a leader exactly what to do.

And there is even less news about Ursula, my school girl. We members of the Walpus Knights only know that she has become the new patriarch of the clan just like me after graduation, and we have long heard that she has An illegitimate child whose father is unknown.Merlin, probably only a family like Hoss who embraces the belief that power is paramount will tolerate such a girl with a damaged reputation as the patriarch.Speaking of Ursula, I also incidentally thought of the former Dark Lord Grindelwald who had been in prison for several years. I deeply remember their high-profile appearance at the 1943 Halloween party. The calm Professor Dumbledore lost his composure like that.

As for Grindelwald's follower saints, I don't know if I should say they are weak or cunning?Since the trial in 1945, they have fallen and dispersed one by one. The saints used various excuses to avoid the pursuit of the Aurors and the questioning of the judges, and finally dissipated in the entire European wizarding world. Especially until now, I really can't figure out why Lester Rosenberg and Solomon Travers, Grindelwald's right-hand men, are not willing to help the Dark Lord in the trial.Now I hardly hear much information about them, but I still can't believe that the saints would betray their master so quickly. I think Grindelwald has such a strong personality at the trial. He should It wouldn't make his subordinates distracted like now, they must have some unknown conspiracy, but fortunately, Professor Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard of this century, exists in England.

The gears of time turned quietly and calmly for several years, but until a certain day after a few years, the big event finally came.One Sunday in the winter of 1950, my wife Theresa and I were enjoying a delicious afternoon tea in the conservatory when Miss Isabel Crystal of Ravenclaw dropped by.After she entered the door, I found that she looked haggard and ragged, with a dead air lingering between her brows. In Britain, which has been rare for several years now, I don’t know how Isabella would mess herself up. Into such a lost look.

Holding a cup of warm coffee, Isabel breathed a few breaths before expressing her reason for coming.She said to us in an erratic tone: "Tess, did you know that Al died yesterday! He was executed in public." "What? What did you... say?" Theresa took the teacup from her hand It slipped and landed silently on the soft long-haired carpet. Although the porcelain cup did not break because of it, the dark liquid flowed out and polluted a large area of ​​white long hair.

"Didn't he say that he was only going to Germany to deal with family affairs? He...why did he just..." Tereza stood up, staggeringly threw herself in front of Isabel, holding her tightly with both hands At this time, Tereza's eyes were already red, and I stood up with Tereza, standing behind her and grabbing Tereza's hand, pulling her stiff hand away to prevent her from losing control Your own strength hurts the guest.As if she didn't feel the pain, Isabel continued, "I got the news from Liliana Yahai. As you know, her fiancé is Albert von Hoss, a senior advisor to the Ministry of Magic. Ans Al Rohr is wanted by the Ministry of Magic for allegedly killing the radical Caesar Falling and the rest of Minister Al Falling. Arrested, sentenced to him by a few juniors of the Selwyn family who work in the Ministry of Magic..." Her voice trembled here, but Isabel still whispered the terrible news, "The kiss of the dementor .”

"Is that James Selwin and Winston Selwyn?" I asked, eyelashes lowered. I've dealt with them a few times, but honestly I don't like these pretentious pure-blood youngsters, but They have the strong support of the pure-blood family behind them, probably this is why they dare to attack Ansair.I hope Teresa won't rush forward to reward each of them with Avada Kedavra. I know how close Trissa and his brother are. Al's death is no less stimulating to her than to him. She gave a few Cruciatus Curse.

"Yes, I finally left the place of execution. I always remember that they had the happiest smile at that time. I think the two of them wanted to add more honor and achievements to their official careers, so Ansair was They were used as scapegoats." Isabel lowered her head and stared at the cup in her hand and said softly, her voice was flat but hesitant, "It should have been clear." "We should have known, Richard, brother, he didn't Done? Ready? Go to? Die? Prepare! Why? Why didn’t he tell me? I can help him too!” Tereza suddenly burst into tears, waving her arms loudly shouted at me, flushed with hysteria and resentment, "But! I'll never, never let them go, I've remembered, James and Winston of Selwyn? Death They are so cheap."

"Then you can remember another name, Liliana Shearer Yahai, she will definitely help you." I took Teresa's arm and pressed her on the high-backed wooden chair by the table, calmly said to her. "What?" Teresa asked subconsciously in confusion, "You can't escape the dirty things in the big family. In short, multiple allies are better than multiple enemies. Before you avenge your brother, talk to her first. .” I couldn’t help laughing.

After I comforted the emotional Tereza and asked the house elf to take her to rest, I signaled Isabel to pack up and go to the study with me for a detailed discussion.I know it's not over yet, I've got the feeling she hasn't said everything she knows, but since even Tereza can't say it to her face, it must be pretty serious.

I always thought that my psychological quality was good enough, but when I sat in the study and heard Isabel tell the most important information she knew, I was still shocked, that is about the Falin family Details.The Ministry of Magic has announced that the patriarch of the Falin family, who belongs to the radical faction, and most of the family members were killed and expressed condolences. Although this is the explanation to the public on the surface, but from the internal information Isabel told me, it is actually not the case at all. Lin and the others are instigating a rebellion. The wizarding world that has just emerged from the war cannot withstand their blows. People will never like them.

"They are trying to seize higher power under the banner of avenging Al Farin and establishing a righteous and perfect wizarding world, just like the Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald who started his business back then. I didn't come up with such a big gimmick." Isabel stared into my eyes and said thoughtfully. "Who is Caesar? Falin just has a father who is famous for his generosity. If I don't take advantage of it, I will doubt the IQ of his son." I flipped my hands and said helplessly, This incident had a huge impact on the wizarding world. Although Caesar had passed away because of Ansair, this group was not completely punished. Even because there was no leader, they spread around and became more harmful. But the most important thing is that not all the descendants of the Falin family died.

"By the way, I have an idea," I pondered for a while, and then said, "First of all, I recently received an intelligence report from Ursula, um, this is it." I took out the third one under the desk. A stack of documents in the cabinet was placed on the table and pushed towards Isabel, "I know you have always been very smart, I believe you should be very clear about the importance of pre-preparation." Isabel nodded silently, picked up the documents and flipped through them, I relaxed Leaning on the back of the chair, she waited for her to finish reading, "Is this the case? I never thought that the Falin family was like this. If this is the case, the descendants of Falin should also continue to make waves, such as Magina and that bastard Williams," she said after reading, gathering the papers together neatly in the center of her desk, "so you're saying you're going to ask Ursula for help? I heard she I have an affair with Gellert Grindelwald, but it's useless..."

"No, we are indeed going to ask His Excellency the Dark Lord to take action. I believe that since Ursula will hand over such secrets to me, there must be hints from Mr. Grindelwald. And have you noticed? The saint is just hiding At the same time, you have to know why Caesar rebelled in the name of revenge for his father, because his father died at the hands of Mr. Grindelwald, they must be more anxious than us." I interrupted with a smile She stretched out two fingers, "There is also the Ministry of Magic. I found out that Advisor Albert Hawes recently accepted an appointment to deal with this matter. I think they can also contribute."

"Well, our Volpes Knights can take this opportunity to gain a greater reputation, and share a piece of the cake through the exchange of interests between all parties, and this matter is also a good thing for Riddle." After I mentioned it, Isabel's eyes lit up and she understood. "That's right, now that you understand, let's start working. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We need to race against time." I smiled, and then began to pull Isabel into a discussion state.

One of the road to the devil (Tom&Stella)

For those who believe, death is the door to eternal life. ——"Paradise Lost"

For Tom Riddle, since he graduated, he found that his time is always not enough. Studying, working, searching for precious magic items, dealing with Stella, traveling around the world and so on have consumed too much energy.Especially after Tom found a new teacher to tutor him, he didn't have the energy to pay attention to the passage of time, and in fact, this was already the fourth year after he left Hogwarts.

At first Tom had little hope of staying as a teacher after graduation, but soon Mr. Principal let him down. He was rejected by Principal Dippett on the grounds that he was "not old enough". Tom knew very well that only Dumbledore Professor Lido was so wary of him. At this moment, Tom knew that he had to let go first, and his chips were not strong enough.After being declined, Tom first made a special trip to Albania to find Ravenclaw's crown according to the reminder of Larclaw's ghost, Ms. Gray. Tom found the relic from the founder in the tree hole without much effort. Of course Stella didn't know about this episode, and it wasn't hard to trick her into going home.Afterwards, Tom spent another year working in the Burkinbork shop in order to collect all kinds of information about precious magic items. Although he had received many job applications from the Ministry of Magic during this period, this job was eagerly awaited by most wizards. Tom's good work was not in his favour, and he believed that he could achieve the highest achievement without the Ministry.

Luckily, Tom soon finds new treasures big enough to grab his attention - the Slytherin locket and Hufflepuff's golden cup.They were undeniably real treasures, but they fell into the hands of a rich and blind woman. They should belong to Tom Riddle, so Tom did it.

And then Tom seems to have quieted down, he quit his job at the Bojinbok shop and disappeared quietly in England.But Tom just went to the Continent to start his travels, and he spent many years traveling and befriending all kinds of other dark wizards, Stella would occasionally lend Tom a little help to accompany him, and sometimes they would part many days.In the nearly ten years since he left Hogwarts and disappeared, he has survived life-and-death crises, met dark wizards with malicious intentions, and learned many things that the professors at Hogwarts would never give up. Will teach him dark knowledge.

The most famous of all things Tom has encountered is the former Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald.Although Tom had dealt with the other party once when he was a boy, and now Grindelwald was raped on the tower of Nurmengard, when he faced him again, Tom still couldn't control the restraint that kept surging in his heart and a touch of awe.Tom didn't know why Grindelwald would find him, who is still an unknown man. Looking at the layout of the cell and the ease with which he was brought into Nurmengard without anyone knowing, he knew that Grindelwald had nothing but lost Apart from freedom, everything else is almost the same as before the failure.

"Dear Tom, you don't have to know the specific reason why I picked you here, you just need to know a little bit, and I will teach you what you should know, such as how to be a good leader." Sitting on the wooden high-back chair Grindelwald looked indifferent, and Tom was familiar with the sarcasm in his eyes, but Tom was sensitive to realize that it was not aimed at him.Tom was relieved that no matter what Grindelwald wanted to do to his enemies, Tom always got what he deserved, such as teachings from the former Dark Lord that he didn't need to pay for.

Tom spent four years as an apprentice under Grindelwald to learn black magic and learn how to become a better leader, and of course Stella gave him enough help in his studies. In return for her, Tom made her truly In a sense, he has become "one of his own".Tom is very smart, but at the same time rebellion is also synonymous with him. Grindelwald's four years of hell-style training did not teach Tom to learn to be cautious, let alone do anything to his soul.

"Damn Merlin, why did I not settle down once when I was studying?" Voldemort thought in the last second of his life in the summer of 1997, and then the darkness overwhelmed all his perceptions, and he died.

The second is based on the past and peeps into the future (Grandpa Ma & Sylvia & Isabel & Rolle brothers and sisters)

Among people, there is nothing more painful than being disturbed and hurt where you think you should get goodwill and friendship. ——"The Legend of Giants"

Abraxas knew that he would never have the chance to die naturally, but he didn't foresee that he would face his own death so early. He was going to die soon. Fortunately, there was his wife Silvia Be by his side.He was panting with difficulty, and countless fragments of fragmented memories flashed before his eyes. Abraxas understood why he had to face the threat of death before half of his life, because Tom knew, knew his past betrayal, he would always have this feeling One day, Abraxas didn't blame Tom, it was his own doing.

That was more than ten years ago. Abraxas voluntarily got involved in the political storm that swept across the European wizarding world, and his partner was a former member of the Knights——Isabella? Dela Vera, Maxwell Richard Florent, Trisha Rolle, Andre Audians, Elizabeth Hathaway Edelstein and his wife Sylvia Avery.Perhaps this was the initial trigger of his early death. He made a mistake in a decision, and then made a wrong step.

The cause of this incident was the disintegration of the Falin family. At that time, Abraxas was still a vigorous young man under the age of 20, arrogant and young, as if the world was in his palm, and he was not very good at tasting. Smooth taste.Although Abraxas had vaguely foreseen that this was going to happen, he still rushed in without hesitation, extending a helping hand to William, the orphan of the Falin family, for future rewards.However, Abraxas never expected Caesar's rebellion and revolution sweeping the wizarding world, and Tereza's revenge. At that time, he never knew that Tom had a hand in it, and all these made Abraxas All the little tricks Sass did in the past were exposed in a concentrated manner, and he still couldn't escape after all.He should have known that Isabel was Tom's confidant, she was like transparent glass in front of Tom and Stella, and he shouldn't have said the secret in his heart on the spur of the moment.

Until now, Abraxas didn't think that mere memory would have much influence on him, but he was wrong.The goodwill he secretly released to Dumbledore, the retreat he arranged from Butcher, the hesitation and ambition that sparked in his heart when he tossed and turned at night, and the first concealment he made when he opened the secret room before graduation, all these Both brought him deep and unending pain, and perhaps that was what Tom expected him to feel when he cursed him.

"Let her go, let my wife go... Sylvia..." Abraxas suddenly woke up from the psychedelic and misty sleep. He can no longer distinguish the time and place, and he is entangled in the muscles and bones. The pain between the two made him only mutter to himself, not knowing who to beg. "If this is your last words, then I agree." A deep and mellow voice sounded in Abraxas' ear, familiar yet unfamiliar. At the last moment of his life, Abraxas struggled to sit up, grasped Tom's arm, staring at his bright red eyes, said hoarsely as if vomiting his soul: "You... Tom... the truth..." "Ah, I just don't want anyone to know my past anymore, my friend Abu, this is the truth, in the end, why don't you call me—Lord Voldemort!" Tom pulled out a stiff smile, his distorted features were hard to distinguish from the past handsome, but even more cold.

A green light flashed, the room was completely lifeless, only Yu sighed quietly, "This is the only thing I can do for you now, my only friend."

Third, should I let go after all?Gellert... (Deng School Center)

There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. —— "The Thorn Bird"

The clear whiskey in the transparent glass swirls briskly, reflecting a slight flash under the dim candlelight, which is eye-catching but not dazzling, just like the person holding the wine glass.

"Brother, it's not your style to be so discouraged." Aberforth crossed his legs and looked at Albus Dumbledore sitting opposite him with a smile, but deep in his eyes was the only thing he thought about himself. All that remains is the concern of his loved one, Albus. "It's nothing... I'm just..." Dumbledore was in a daze for a while before answering with a blink of his eyes, his reaction was a little slow.However, before he finished speaking, Aberforth gestured a bit rudely for a pause, interrupting what he wanted to say, and said that Grindelwald's tone was so mean that it was almost difficult, "I see, you must have Got annoyed by that bastard whose name I don't want to name, I know I shouldn't let his owls into my bar."

After speaking, Aberforth glanced at the stack of apparently thick letters on the bar counter with disgust, and turned his head with a cold snort, but didn't look there.Albus smiled helplessly, his own brother had been at odds with Gellert since the first time they met as a teenager, and he didn't seem to intend to change until now.

Albus picked up the letter and smiled, and said very gently to his younger brother: "No, this is a letter from the Janningt family." "What? It's that dark magic family that is so arrogant that its nose can't wait to grow on top of its head ? What are they looking for you for?" Hearing the news, Aberforth subconsciously jumped up, and asked vigilantly, with a very stern tone.Although it's not Grindelwald, it's not much better than him. Aberforth once heard that the Jenningt family's enthusiasm for black magic is almost fanatical, and their personality is very arrogant and sharp. Compared with them, the British pure The blood fanatic Black and his family are all angels.

"Ah, it's just a lovely young man, Elendil Jenningt, who came to ask me for a position as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts." Albus looked at the letter paper in his hand and sighed. His tone was very calm. "Ha, is that the Jenningt I know? The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from the Dark Arts family? It's a huge joke that can be recorded in the epic." Aberforth gave a short laugh mockingly, "Still Don't forget that kid from before, I think it's called Tom, I think it's almost all over Hogsmeade, just put a curse on Defense Against the Dark Arts or something."

"Don't mention that person." Albus' face darkened, and at that moment Albus's temperament was very tough, which was a side of him that few people except his family saw.Afterwards, Albus quickly regained his aura, and changed back to the kind and gentle Principal Dumbledore in the eyes of the students, but he couldn't hide the slight tiredness on his face.Aberforth raised his eyebrows high, but he really didn't say anything, just picked up the wine bottle and refilled a glass for Albus, quietly watching Albus sink into memories.

That was a year ago. Tom Riddle, who had disappeared for a long time, returned to Hogwarts, and came to Hogwarts to apply for a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts just like Elendil this year.When Albus saw Tom for the first time, he keenly felt a familiar touch from Tom, from the very familiar brand of Gellert Grindelwald, which was exactly the same spell-casting habits and some almost Consistent behavior and demeanor, and there are too many details that make Dumbledore feel palpitations.

"Is this your punishment for me? Gellert...", after rejecting Tom Riddle again, Albus stood at the window and looked at the blue-gray sky in the distance and sighed.Teach an excellent student and then compete with him?It really has the characteristics of Gellert, but this time he really has no fear of the new Dark Lord's ruthless hand. Albus will never hesitate and hesitate again, and of course he really can't hold it anymore. Lover's hand.

The fourth treasure of Nurmengard (the Grindelwald family)

After a lifetime away, he returns to the land of his birth.Since he was a child, he has been an eyewitness to that place. ——"Ulysses"

"Excuse me, is this Nurmengard?" A young and cheerful brown-haired boy stood under the tall tower and asked everyone who passed by here, and his eyes were full of surprise and joy when he got a positive answer.He walked around Nurmengard with great interest, and finally met an old woman at the back of the building. She was old but very peaceful sitting on a bench that didn't seem to be here.

"Ah, it's a child from the Audians family, child, you really look like Andre." The old woman blinked slowly, looked at the young man standing in front of her, and spoke to him very familiarly. Speak up. "Hey, grandma, do you know my grandfather?" The young Odians was very pleasantly surprised and asked hastily. He had a hunch that this old lady must know something, whether it was about this place or the story of his own grandfather.

"Son, sit down. It's been a long time since anyone came here to see it. If possible, would you like to listen to me, an old guy, chat about the past?" The old woman smiled, and the smile was warm and kind.The young man sat beside the old woman very happily, and the warm sunshine shone on them, dyeing them with beautiful golden edges.

"My name is Amos? Audians, what is your name?" Amos first said his name, and then politely asked the old woman's name. "Maybe you've heard my name before. My name is Ursula Grindelwald. I'm his wife. I've lived here for decades. I've witnessed the present and the past of this place. It was glorious and lived in A great wizard, like now, only me, a lonely old man, is left." Ursula raised his head and looked at the tall tower, with the complexity and sadness in his eyes that Amos didn't understand.

"Then what special stories do you know...?" Amos asked cautiously, afraid of touching the wound in Ursula's heart. "Ah, what happened here is actually nothing special. The special thing is that person - the first generation of Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald. I have been here with him since 1945. For me , he is a person who can never abandon the treasure." Ursula said the name with a very gentle expression, which made Amos think that she must love Grindelwald very much.

"Speaking of which, why is Grindelwald willing to be imprisoned here for so long? No one is stronger than him except Professor Dumbledore. Granny Ursula, do you know the reason?" Amos was silent For a while, I started to ask curiously again, as if I didn't feel afraid or afraid of him.

"...Maybe it's because of repentance..." Faced with this question, Ursula also fell silent, and finally sighed. "Repentance? Isn't he the Dark Lord? Isn't that mysterious man never repenting? My father was killed because of a trivial matter that offended the mysterious man." Amos said the mysterious man with disgust. "...This is the difference between them. Tom never understood the meaning of bondage and concern, so he died so badly! Although Gellert also confessed his past because of others." Ursula said At this point, he also knocked on the slate floor with the cane in his hand, and his tone when talking about Voldemort was simply hateful.

"Are you familiar with the mysterious man?" Amos whispered in surprise when he heard that Ursula was so familiar with the mysterious man. "Well, I was a Hogwarts student in the same year as him, and actually I was also from Slytherin." Ursula was very calm, "In fact, he was still very handsome at the time, and many students hugged him when he was in school." I wanted to pursue him, although in the end only my friend Stella Vera actually married him."

"What...it's impossible!" Amos yelled in fright, jumping up when he heard the news. "Amos kid, do you need to be so ignorant? Anyone who can be the Dark Lord is very handsome, and many people are too late to pursue it." Ursula puffed out her chest proudly, glanced at him with disgust and followed in surprise What a youth.

The Affair of the Five Saints (Lestat, Solomon looking for a wife)

In the common sense of all things, love cannot be changed and stopped, because in terms of nature, love will only perish by itself, and it is difficult for any trick to reverse it. ——"Ten Days Talk"

The chandelier hanging from the ceiling cast bright light on the wide hall, where gentlemen and ladies gathered together and chatted happily.This is a banquet held by a family of pure-blooded wizards. It is full of flowers and the atmosphere is warm. Although it is said that it is to celebrate some unknown festival, in Lena Yaxley's opinion, this is another feast for boring adults. It's just a fake name for the exchange of benefits, and for the British-born Lena, it's just an excuse to come and have a good meal.

Lena holds a silverware piled high with food
