A Touch of Magic

Benítez, who had almost fully recovered, suddenly felt a headache, raised his left hand, rubbed his eyebrows, "Luckily, it's not the Middle Ages, otherwise you would definitely be condemned as a witch. Only the legendary wizard will eat an owl."

"No, as far as I know, the Chinese used to eat them, but now they are protected animals. Not to mention, the taste is really good, and I guarantee you these are not wild animals located in the reserve by the lake."

Elena blinked, smiled flatteringly, raised her right hand to swear, and then continued to explain seriously.

"Owls have good medicinal value, nourish the yin and replenish deficiencies, the meat quality is more tender and delicate than ordinary chicken, after removing the internal organs, the whole body can be used as medicine. Most importantly, owl meat contains some medicinal substances that can relieve pain.

Isn't this a recent bother for you? I thought of using owls to make soup and help nurture your body. It's a pity that Gastrodia is only available in Asia; otherwise, if you could cook a pot of Owl Soup with Gastrodia, it would be so simple."

Bang!

Just then, there was a strange sound on the window sill, as if someone had accidentally hit a partially open window.

Elena paused her conversation alertly, turned her head, and looked out the window, only to see a clumsy brown-black striped cat falling from the eaves and landing on the open window sill.

She didn't expect such a clumsy wildcat, it would stumble if it walked! Must life be hard?

Elena blinked, took a piece of meat from Benitez's bowl, crouched down, gently placed it in front of the wildcat on the window sill, and said with a smile.

"Kitty, eat it, eat it."

To her surprise, at the next moment, she saw the wildcat, as if gravely offended. The cat suddenly exploded, emitting a deep growl, obviously extremely angry.

Look closely, there are strange square lines around the eyes of this wildcat, and it looks like a pair of glasses.

Elena frowned and looked at the crouched cat on the window sill, wondering if it was an illusion. She seemed to see the same angry and condemning expression in those bright cat eyes.

The little silver-haired lolita had a fleeting thought in her heart and always felt like she had forgotten something.

Forget it, it's not very important to think about it. If it dares to lose its temper if it doesn't accept food, such a kitty is not cute at all!

She shook her head helplessly, Elena's eyes suddenly changed, and she reached out suddenly, accurately pinched the soft skin behind the black cat's neck, and ruthlessly lifted it through the window.

"Meow, meow!"

She knew that this rabies vaccination era was very problematic, so it was better not to be scratched by wild cats.

After a brief episode, Elena clapped her hands and looked at Benitez, saying angrily.

"In short, I have confessed. Now it's your turn, why do you want to work so hard, even making money by fighting in dirty boxing?"

Benitez sat up straight, looked at the girl he had brought from the streets of London six years ago and said for a moment.

"Did you want to leave early and study in the United States?"

"Eh?"

"When you were little... I was very concerned and scared, you would talk about dreams every night."

Benitez said softly in his eyes, "Although most of what you say cannot be understood, some frequently repeated words can still be recognized."

Dream words? Luckily, I usually speak Chinese in my dreams! Elena was scared for a moment, then looked at Benitez with confusion and asked, "Words?"

"Well, for example, Harvard University, Silicon Valley, Microsoft, Wall Street..." Benitez frowned, trying to recall, "Most of the others are some strange words, like Apple, Blizzard, Amazon, Facebook, Tencent, Alibaba..."

Elena's eyes blinked, "That's not a strange word."

In ten years, they are almost the entire Internet world. Like a reborn, she wonders almost every day how to get on this train to the top of the great era.

After a pause, Benitez reached out and gently stroked Elena's silver hair. "Studying abroad is a huge expense. You shouldn't be limited to the Scottish Highlands because of me and the orphanage. If you don't mind, I could look into the process of adoption."

"Father, father..."

The girl with silver hair felt mixed emotions for a moment, grabbed the large hand above her head, and her eyes were filled with readiness to say something.

Tuk Tuk.

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the front door and Bran's timid voice followed.

"Father Benitez, despite my repeated reminders of your physical inconveniences, this lady who claims to be McGill-Milwa insists on visiting you in person, saying she is discussing Sister Elena's admission."

⊙? ⊙! Wait... who is coming?!

Elena's eyes narrowed suddenly.

About Elena's enrollment? Without waiting for Elena to object, Benitez responded confidently.

"It's okay, my body has almost recovered. It's just that Elena is here as well. Miss McGonagall, please come in."

Benitez didn't realize that at this moment, Elena, confident and ready to talk about her life plan, shuddered suddenly, almost instinctively trying to escape through the window.

Megmileva?!

Professor McGonagall from Hogwarts?!

Elena suddenly reacted to the fleeting thoughts earlier.

—Professor McGonagall is an Animagus who can transform into a cat.

Having said that, the wildcat that had just heard the recipe for "round stuffed Scottish chicken" and was thrown off the windowsill by her...

It's over, she's in trouble!

She didn't want to experience the feeling of being turned into a small animal for breaking school rules. Others are not easy to deal with. As a woman, Elena wouldn't believe that Professor McGonagall would pretend to be so generous and had never done so before.

This time, even if threatened with a knife to her neck, starving to death on the streets, or being run over, she would never set foot in Hogwarts.
