Chapter 92 The Legend of Druid

"Wait a minute, you don't mean to directly search for food in the Black Lake and Forbidden Forest, do you?"

Hagrid was stunned for a moment, his eyes widening in disbelief, his head shaking, his face full of astonishment, "It's impossible. First of all, you have to understand that this is not an ordinary lake or jungle."

"Yes, but we are not ordinary non-magical beings either."

Elena took a step forward, opened her arms to everyone, calmly replied in an indifferent tone.

"We are, humans, wizards."

Click.

As the steps of the silver-haired little witch fell gently, a heart-stopping aura suddenly spread out from her body, and her gaze touched Elena's light blue eyes, which were as calm as the lake before the storm, making everyone present All the first-year wizards suddenly felt their heartbeats skip a beat.

They had the illusion that what they were seeing was not a little witch who was less than eleven years old, but Nidhogg, the black dragon in Norse mythology who could devour the world. For a moment, they even felt as if the shimmering waves on the lake and the swaying leaves in the Forbidden Forest were frozen for a few seconds.

Of course, not everyone felt this way. At least the tall and burly Hagrid didn't feel any pressure or stagnant air.

In fact, if there were any changes, in the eyes of this hybrid giant, the silver-haired little witch in front of him seemed to have become more kind.

This is a completely unreasonable feeling, more like the strange feeling when meeting someone of the same kind - but this does not affect Hagrid's refutation of Elena's point of view.

"But, no matter what you say...at least for now, you are still little kids who don't understand anything."

Hagrid's rough voice broke the sudden solemn atmosphere and rescued all the first-year students from suffocation in time.

"What's more, before this, we rarely obtained daily ingredients directly from the Black Lake and Forbidden Forest."

He shook his beard, frowned and said in a deep voice, "To be precise, most of the ingredients for Hogwarts are purchased in Hogsmeade Village or the surrounding farms."

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the surrounding animals have coexisted peacefully for hundreds of years. Many groups of magical animals have taken the initiative to move near the school in order to seek shelter.

"But, is what you are doing completely correct? Have you really established an extraordinary connection with animals? Have you allowed more wizards to love and understand them?"

Elena's eyes flashed and she asked without thinking. A series of questions made it difficult for Hagrid to answer for a while.

"The answer is no."

The silver-haired little witch shook her head and said calmly in a tone that stated the facts, "Wizards are still afraid of magical animals. Likewise, more and more creatures in nature are still going extinct."

"But it's not impossible to fix it."

The girl's eyes slowly passed over the faces of the little wizards. An inscrutable look appeared on her face, and she spoke softly and unhurriedly.

She had been preparing for this moment for a whole month.

"Since ancient times, humans have been following an ancient contract with other creatures in nature. As special beings among humans who have mastered extraordinary power, there has been a group of ancient wizards on this land who have been trying to understand, Perception, the deeper relationship between the world and us. They are used to calling themselves [Druids]."

Regarding this point, the little mixed-blood Veela is not completely talking nonsense.

Before Christianity took over Britain, the Druid religion was a religious organization that dominated the Celtic culture of ancient Britain. Their presence can be seen in some ancient documents from the Muggle and wizarding worlds. (For more introduction to [Druid Order], click here to expand)

In fact, they were the first wizard organization to appear on this land. This group of wizards advocates using their special powers to protect nature and bring balance to the world. For example, the famous legendary wizard "Merlin" from the Arthurian period was a member of the Druid Order with considerable magical abilities.

"Wait...I did hear Mr. Scamander talk about them. Are you a druid?" After hearing Elena's words, Hagrid couldn't help but interrupt suddenly.

"No, I just happened to listen to some teachings from a wizard who called himself Malfurion. I mastered some trivial skills."

Elena shook her head and patted her bulging chest gently as she spoke.

Gu~?

The golden and red Gryffindor emblem moved, and a sleepy little owl poked its head out of her knitted collar and hooted in confusion.

"We provide them with a stable living environment, provide them with food, or try not to disturb their lives."

The silver-haired little witch gently placed the little owl on her shoulder, took out a piece of toast from her chest, broke off a small piece and handed it to her little pet's mouth, and continued.

"Then, as a matter of course, they leave their bodies to us in return when we are in need."

Gu! ⊙▽⊙!

The little reserve, who had just opened his beak and happily grabbed the piece of bread, stiffened and stood pitifully on Elena's shoulder. His furry body shook, and then...

Glancing meaningfully at the little owl who was pretending to sleep in the principal's office just now, Elena turned around and walked to the lake, crushed the bread in her hand and scattered it.

Not long after, a few ripples suddenly appeared on the lake, and several large purple-black fish that Elena had never seen jumped out of the water and ate the floating bread crumbs.

It makes sense to think that a fish that can live in the Black Lake, surrounded by all kinds of magical animals, is somehow more special than the ordinary big fish in Loch Lomond.

"You see, since you eat the food I delivered, it means that I am allowed to eat them. Even the Druid Order, which is closest to nature, will not raise any questions."

The fish in the Black Lake of Hogwarts are so big and beautiful, with such smooth bodies and powerful tails... Elena couldn't help but lick her lips.

"Okay, even if you are right. It's not that I look down on people. To be honest, I have trouble catching some of the big fish in the black lake. If it were little ones like you, ten of them would be tied together. Pull it into the water. As for the Forbidden Forest, it's even more dangerous. I usually don't go into too deep a place."

After looking up and down at the little silver-haired witch, Hagrid waved his hand with disapproval on his face.

Mutated fish in Hogwarts' Black Lagoon? !Drag into the water?

As if thinking of some bad experience, the corners of Elena's eyes twitched, and the aura in her body suddenly weakened.

——Thinking about it carefully, if she was dragged into the water in front of all the new students, her majesty as a big sister would be completely gone.

"So, isn't it a good thing that Hagrid is here." The silver-haired little witch blinked, a smile quickly appeared on her face, and she said sweetly.

"As Professor Dumbledore's most trusted person, our first-year instructor, the Hogwarts Gamekeeper...it's just a few bigger fish, so it must be hard for you, right?"

"Oh, of course."

Hearing Elena's words, Hagrid proudly puffed up his chest and patted it, grinning happily and said, "I'm not bragging, even some big guys in the Forbidden Forest are honest when they are around me. .”

"but……"

The giant scratched his messy hair in distress, and looked at the rock cakes put aside by the little wizards in embarrassment. He was a little depressed, "Even if I catch these fish, I may not be able to make them delicious for everyone." .”

"No need to worry about that at all!"

Elena's eyes flashed with a trace of nostalgia that only she knew, and then she puffed out her chest with confidence, "I know a little bit about cooking, especially how to cook mutant fish."

In the first update, I cut the apple up to my index finger, so it was a bit slow. I'm working on coding the second update.

Sorry Goo, it's a bit slow.
