Chapter 18 Morning Tea
five o'clock in the morning
Hogwarts Great Hall, Hufflepuff Table.
Raven is enjoying her morning tea.
Since no wizard has ordered morning tea for decades, the menu is not very comprehensive. If you need ingredients that are not commonly used in the UK, such as steamed chicken feet and glutinous rice chicken, you will not be able to order them.
But at least a table was found for Raven.
Raven drank tea leisurely, ate shrimp dumplings, steamed pork ribs, and took another bite of siomai.
It’s okay to skip breakfast, but don’t be in a hurry when eating breakfast. This is Raven’s morning tea philosophy.
That's why he started eating at five o'clock. After all, he had to go to class later. Since he was enrolled as a student, he still had to go to class, but it mattered which class he took.
Raven was currently looking at the class schedule given to her by the dean.
During each class during this school year, Raven could choose to go to a first-year class in any house, or go to a normal Hufflepuff second-year class.
The reason why Raven is given so much autonomy is that, on the one hand, Raven was directly recruited by the principal, and on the other hand, there are differences in the teaching procedures between Beauxbatons and Hogwarts.
There may be some content that was taught in the first grade of Hogwarts, but Beauxbatons arranged to learn it in the second grade, giving Raven the opportunity to check for gaps. This is also the school's obligation.
He looked a little dry, and just when Raven was about to pick up a piece of pumpkin pie and continue eating while thinking about it, he picked up an empty piece.
So he looked up and saw Dumbledore.
Judging from the amount of food left on the table, the old guy had been eating for a while.
Raven pointed at the teapot, which flew up, bowed before Dumbledore, and filled the empty teacup.
"Come, principal, have some tea. You'll choke easily if you just eat."
Dumbledore was not polite and stuffed the whole pumpkin pie into his mouth, then reached out to pick up the teacup, took a sip, and continued to pick up a piece of custard bun.
Raven still maintained her own pace, thinking about which classes she was going to attend today, while placing another plate of rice rolls in front of her.
It wasn't until the food on the table was eaten that the two of them put down their bowls and chopsticks and started talking normally.
It was Dumbledore who spoke first.
"Well, it's not good for the little wizard to eat too much dessert at night. Next time, at least leave some for the poor old man who wanders into the kitchen hungry."
"You can't enjoy delicious food with a full stomach." Rui Gourmet-Wen replied.
"Okay, I admit that this meal is a rare delicacy. I really didn't expect that there would be such a chef in the kitchen of Hogwarts. So can you tell me what you think? For an old man like me, Tiandu It’s not bright yet, I’m called here, is there anything you want to tell me?”
Dumbledore never regarded Raven as a child. After all, he was the one who sent Raven to France. In fact, when the Weasleys came to visit him, he didn't know how to save the soul child.
He knew very well that he was not the all-powerful wizard that the Weasleys believed him to be, and it might be more reliable to hand this child over to Tom than to him.
After all, Tom is the one who has gone further on the soul path and can compete with him with his soul attainments.
But things turned out unexpectedly, because his phoenix Fox brought a kindred one, a phoenix with the same name as a certain Principal Black.
Fox acted as an interpreter, and under the persuasion of the phoenix named Phineas, he made the decision to send the baby to his old friend Nicoléme.
However, it took some time afterwards for him to realize that something was wrong. From that day on, Phineas Black's portrait disappeared. Every principal will leave a portrait in the principal's office. This is not only an honor for them, but also a way to provide advice to subsequent principals, so usually the portraits of principals will not leave the principal's office.
After asking other portraits, he finally found him at No. 12 Grimmauld Place.
However, no matter how he asked, Principal Black said nothing more. Unconsciously, he was back among the portraits in the principal's office. No one knew when he appeared.
There was no other news from my old friend. I just heard that this kid was very talented and even modified a magic fax machine so that Dumbledore and Nico could bypass the protection of the Red Loyalty Curse and communicate. .
But Dumbledore never stopped paying attention to Raven.
Another thing, that happened last school year, the Weasley twins did not bring pets to school, but they actually had a Phoenix Messenger.
After Dumbledore's observation, this phoenix was the one he negotiated with back then.
So he investigated overtly and covertly to collect information about this phoenix, and he discovered some strange things.
This phoenix did not appear as sophisticated as it did during the initial negotiation, and it just hung out with the two naughty guys from the Weasley family.
Compared to his Fox, this Phoenix is closer to a child in mentality.
Combining this information, Dumbledore made a guess.
If it was said that Principal Black was afraid of something and couldn't say it. So was he trying to convey to Dumbledore that the Phoenix was the cause of everything?
And after Dumbledore confirmed that there is indeed something wrong with this phoenix, and there must be someone behind it. So is Principal Black reminding Dumbledore to be careful about this person behind the scenes?
Although there has been no clear evidence, everything seems to indicate that Raven is not an ordinary little wizard, and the fact is that Raven has indeed not concealed this.
But fortunately, Raven also integrated into this identity from the bottom of his heart. He really felt that he was a child of the Weasley family and Nicolas Flamel's apprentice.
Therefore, when dealing with such a wizard, Dumbledore was willing to show his sincerity and communicate more as an equal.
