Chapter 231 I Can't Explain This To You
If there is a reason to persuade oneself, the depravity of man is truly swift.
This is a line written in "Hidden Ban" by a web author "Angry Banana" that Elena liked a lot in her previous life.
Faced with Elena's warm whisper of close confession, Hannah Little Loli, who had never seen such sweet (deceptive) words, had no resistance and almost declared her downfall almost instantly.
"Elena, otherwise, shouldn't we just find a way to move the entire cabinet?"
She still had that kind of gentle and sweet, non-lethal, and people couldn't help wanting to embrace and knead her in their arms, but Hannah's eyes shone through the emotional excitement, which made Elena feel trance-like, an illusion of looking in the mirror.
Facts have proven that compared to Elena, who has some points in her heart, after discarding the worries in her heart, like a little Hufflepuff witch who has been inspired by a certain nature of melty badger, the courage and action shown by 11-year-old Hannah from the institution were completely beyond Elena's imagination.
This may also be why both the Weasley twins, the James Potter Animal Quartet, and the Salvation Iron Triangle are always content with all kinds of behaviors that defy school rules. Indeed, school rule violations and other exciting things can really give the little wizards of children's age almost addictive happiness.
"...It may not be appropriate to move everything."
Imagine lightly the image of Professor Snape returning to the office after breakfast: the door is broken, the cabinet is gone, the killer is on the loose, and there is a group of first-year children in the potions class waiting for him. What he doesn't know is that the classroom was also robbed.
Although Professor Severus Snape, a double-faced spy, has a very strong mental ability, the first day of class is so intense that it is still a bit exciting.
Elena tried to forcefully suppress her thoughts that were about to agree, and after thinking about it, she gently dissuaded,
"Besides the necessary potion materials, the rest of the ingredients...uh, I mean the potion materials, let's try to eat as little as possible to avoid waste."
After all, Professor Snape is no longer so young. Even the change of thought must be done step by step.
Elena still thinks she's a good-hearted girl after all. Similar to this unique deal, she still can't overcome the obstacles in her heart, she has to leave a little for the unfortunate Professor Snape. She hopes it works.
"Okay, it's all up to you."
Hannah obediently nodded and gently replied, without any further hesitation, taking a step towards Snape's office.
However, before Hannah reached the door, Elena reached out and stopped her from the side.
"Wait, we are standing here, not entering."
Elena's voice came from the side.
"Eh? But..."
Hannah blinked suspiciously, looking at the professor's office in the potions class.
There is at least two or three meters distance from the entrance to the cabinet filled with the names of several potions.
"Grain of Storage, did you see that cabinet? Pull all the drawers one by one towards the door."
Elena lifted the chubby owl from the ground beside the hallway (only to hug Hannah, this fat chicken was despised by the cold little teacher), looking into its sleepy eyes of its round face, she said gently.
"This week, it seems like you are doing well. Now you may need to show that the extra flesh is muscle that can provide strength, not the fat that must be eaten. Otherwise..."
Wow! ⊙▽⊙!
Even after a short separation of a week, the wonderful tacit understanding between the little grain of storage and Elena still existed.
Hannah had not expected Elena to finish her speech. She saw that the little owl, still a little bewildered and drowsy, immediately became spirited, and its fluffy and fleshy body quivered and woke up in the next moment, showing in its eyes a trace of determination and fierceness like a mighty bird of prey.
The existence of owls as magical messengers in the magical world is actually quite different from ordinary owls. This difference is not only reflected in the recognition of direction and the delight of meat, but also in the weight that is slightly beyond common sense's range. Capacity and endurance—indeed, many magical zoologists believe that even ordinary non-magical creatures that have been with the wizard for a long time will gradually be affected by magic and undergo some marvelous evolutions.
Before arriving at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Elena had specially tested it. Compared to the constitution of other round-faced Scottish fat owls, the "Smiling Last Owl" given to her by Dumbledore was even slightly skewed toward magical animals.
Whether in terms of weight resistance, explosive power, and endurance, the grain of storage that can participate in the hunting of few fish heads with Lake Lomond is obviously not a small messenger, but a reduced-size Hai Dongqing with constant power.
From the beginning, Elena had no intention of going into Professor Snape's office in person.
After all, the average number of Hogwarts students who enter this potions professor's office each year is likely even less than half compared to the hallway.
Even if Professor Snape only has some more obvious trace magic, he can easily target Elena, even in the original book, Professor Snape, who has continuously dealt with thefts, seems to have never caught the killer, but this doesn't mean that Elena can carry out a robbery with complete confidence.
You know, even the fiercest Batik Crouch, upon first entering Professor Snape's office, did not choose an advanced unlocking spell like Elena did, and simply blasted the door open completely. Who knows if Professor Snape will take even more aggressive measures this time?
However, if the thief is just an owl, then there is no problem at all.
Unless it is the one said to be able to track any magical creature, and can also make most dangerous magical beasts lower their guard, the magical creature master with the greatest "hunting talent" in the magical world has personally come to Hogwarts.
Otherwise, not even the dean of Ravenclaw University, who teaches curses, Professor Filius Flitwick, would be able to locate that "killer".
And with the help of the stored grain, even when questioned by Professor Dumbledore, Elena can firmly state: her biggest mistake was accidentally blowing a wooden door, as for robbery or such, hasn't even crossed the threshold of Professor Snape's office?
"Fire ash snake eggs? This is truly invaluable. Although they are preserved using a freezing spell, they can no longer be used to distill spirits (spirit distillate must be made with fresh fire ash snake eggs), but they are still used to make all kinds of love potions. Speaking of which, although the ash snake is more difficult to cook, the culinary difficulty of the ash snake egg is much lower, it can even be eaten raw directly."
"Hay grass, of course, it's fine to bring it all. Professor Snape doesn't need to make a beautiful potion for just one wizard. This precious medicine is used to benefit us, the beautiful witches. After all, the market price of the 'beauty potion' as a single beauty potion is too expensive. A bottle of 1030 gallons and still scarce, it runs out faster than stealing from Guling Pavilion."
"African tree snake skin... This was originally one of the main objectives of this operation. Everything was taken. Anyway, if the wealthy Professor Snape needs it, he should replenish it later. If not, it would be a waste to have it here."
"Of course, of course... mumps grass is a very rare potion in the world. Throughout Hogwarts, it may only be found here. If it's left for a dried duck to swallow, it would be a waste. Go! Find a moment after all this and teach Harry how to swim well... If the plan goes well, by then, Professor Snape should be willing to help prepare some respiratory agents."
"Dragon claw powder, just take it directly to refresh the mind, increase memory, and reaction. Well, this is for little Lolita Hermione, secretly pick it up first. This way, at least if she gets angry next time, you'll have gifts to make up for it."
"I didn't expect to find fresh sorrel beans, just put them in oil and then sprinkle them directly with salt, this is an excellent snack to relax! This time, not even Professor Dumbledore can stop my food plan..."
Under Hannah's admiring gaze, Elena, while skillfully presenting the knowledge of various potions, quickly selected potions from the drawers that were handed to her. In less than ten minutes, the precious energy of the potions that would possibly be used or ingested was swept away.
After using a magical spell to create a standard equivalent of the blasting spell at the place where they were, Elena quickly led Hannah Lolita away from the scene, leaving a mess in the Potion Lesson Office.
...
Half an hour later, facing the panel of the door that exploded into pieces and the mess in the potion class office.
Including Albus Dumbledore, Filius Flitwick, Minerva McGonagall, and Otto Apocalis, who had just joined the school... Their faces are a bit strange, although their reasons may be slightly different.
"I'm sorry, dear Severus, I did my best, but my conclusion is the same as Professor Dumbledore's."
Professor Flitwick shrugged helplessly and whispered to Professor Snape, who was trembling and completely shaken.
"I really can't explain this to you. After all, it was only an owl that broke into your office and stole the potion."
