Elena's fingers flicked on the hilt gem in Hannah's hand, making a series of crisp and sweet sounds.

"Elves are immortals. They firmly believe that there is no wizard family that will exist forever."

"It's like some kind of weird curse. The more wizarding families that have given birth to outstanding wizards, the faster it will decline thereafter."

"But Gryffindor is different. It still represents spiritual inheritance: as long as Hogwarts exists for one day, Gryffindor will not disappear."

"Godric Gryffindor cast a spell on this sword before he died, and wizards of true Gryffindor quality can draw the sword from his wizard's hat - now the Sorting Hat.

Because the 'Sword of Gryffindor' belongs to Gryffindor."

As the Fairy Queen, she has a good understanding of this historical entanglement dating back thousands of years.

For more than a thousand years, the goblins of Gringotts have never stopped searching for the sword.

In fact, the goblins had touched this sword more than once, and even almost brought it back to Gringotts.

But every time they thought they had succeeded, the sword would suddenly disappear and return to Hogwarts Castle inadvertently.

"Before Gryffindor disappears, this magical sword will always be loyal to the real Gryffindor. Apart from this, no one or any force can possess this magical sword - not even the Gringotts goblin who forged it.

No, this is the oldest and most sacred contract."

Elena gently stroked her fingers from the cold sword blade and whispered with concentration.

This is not only a story told by the goblin elders, if Elena remembers correctly, the same thing happened in the original work.

After Voldemort slaughtered Gringotts, the sword of Gryffindor that was originally in the hand of the goblin Griphook quietly disappeared and returned to the Sorting Hat far away in Hogwarts, helping Neville in the decisive battle of Hogwarts.

Killed Voldemort's last Horcrux.

"Wow, that's amazing, but..."

Hannah sighed with envy subconsciously.

Immediately afterwards, her little face quickly fell down, and she muttered gloomily.

"I'm not a Gryffindor. So, only you and Hermione can use this sword, right?"

"Well, that's not necessarily the case. The criterion for judging the Sword of Gryffindor is true courage..."

Elena pinched Hannah's nose and said meaningfully.

"And my Hannah is super brave——"

…………

While they were talking, they had arrived at the end of the Hogwarts kitchen.

Unlike other places in the Hogwarts kitchen, this place is obviously deserted and much empty.

There is a huge blue-gray thick stone door embedded in the wall directly in front.

Compared to the stature of elves, this stone door that reaches the ceiling looks more like it is prepared for giants.

Elena took out her wand and waved it casually.

As the stone door slowly opened, a cold breath hit us, mixed with a thin fishy smell.

An unfathomable dark alleyway appeared in front of them. The alleyway sloped downwards and finally disappeared into the endless darkness and cold. It looked like the esophagus exposed by the open mouth of a giant beast that chose people to eat - this was Huo Huo.

The entrance to the underground ice cellar in Gwartz's kitchen.

Elena took out an exquisite cross necklace from her arms and twirled it on her fingers absentmindedly.

The underground ice cellar at Hogwarts is very large.

It has been around even longer than Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Walking along the alleyway, after passing a strange corner, the surrounding area instantly became open.

This is a huge underground cave, with rows of shelves, baskets, pots, and freezers placed in the most conspicuous position. It is filled with all kinds of ingredients, most of which are ingredients that house elves usually use—

—These occupy only one-tenth of the entire space.

And a little deeper, there is a huge body that shines with a green and cold light.

"Okay, the story is over, let's start today's magic practice."

The cross on Elena's finger suddenly stopped, and a bright white light shone along the chain wrapped around the girl's fingertips.

The next moment, a black metal knife appeared in Elena's hand.

"Hannah, you are responsible for cutting into pieces, and I will be responsible for removing the scales——"

"As for the work of decomposing tendons and bones, Hermione and Luna leave these to you."

"Then, let's get started..."

…………

At the same time, the Succubus City.

[Moonlight-Pascha Entertainment Club] Manager’s Office.

"Bona, please listen to my explanation, this place is not under my jurisdiction..."

Gilderoy Lockhart swallowed and tried not to touch the employee posters on the wall.

He is in a very complicated mood now. On the one hand, he is excited about his successful confession on the Hyperion and his success in hitting the base. On the other hand, he is frightened by the huge "special industry" in the Succubus City. If he had known better, he would not have been vain.

Why don't you pretend to be the regional person in charge?

"So you want to say that all of this was actually planned by 'Miss Fool' herself?"

Arkhipovna crossed her arms and looked at the man in front of her who nodded desperately, a trace of disappointment flashed in her light brown eyes.

"Dear Mr. Hanged Man, please don't insult the intelligence of a senior executive at the Landau Institute. That's not what you told me on the Hyperion - maybe you'd find it amusing.

, but I am not the prey of your boredom!"

"No, it's not... you believe me -"

Lockhart racked his brains to think about the techniques Arthur had talked about before, and explained at a loss.

"There are many interesting projects here. These are just a cover for the outer world. The inner world is even more exciting..."

"That's enough, Mr. Lockhart."

The woman glanced around her surroundings and looked at Lockhart with disgust, without any emotion in her voice.

"Instead of continuing to appreciate your 'paradise', perhaps it is more appropriate for me to go back and study magic potential - it's time for me to go back. Thank you very much for taking in those people from the former Soviet Union. But I thought about it carefully. From all aspects,

The two of us are not suitable for each other."
