Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

Chapter 12 Three small requirements

"First and most important, regarding the identity of my half-veela, I hope you can keep it a secret."

Elena raised her index finger and looked at Dumbledore seriously, her tone extremely serious.

The specific origin of wizards is too ancient to be verified today.The concept of magic has been around since the beginning of human activities, but it is impossible to verify when humans began to try to learn and master this supernatural power.

If you ignore the mysterious Eastern legends, the earliest records of magic in history are probably from the Pharaohs of Egypt and their magicians in 2600 BC.If you ignore ancient Egypt and Babylon, the most ancient record in the wizarding world is that the Ollivander family began making wands in 382 BC.

Although Elena has always been extremely skeptical about this, because it always reminds her of the old shops that were spread all over the streets and alleys in her previous life and were often said to be ancestral for thousands of years.

The non-magical world in Europe really began to record signs of magic. It was not until 500 BC, after the birth of Jesus, that documents were formed.As for the British region, it was not until around [-] AD that the first legendary wizard Merlin appeared who could be traced back to textual research.

But in any case, those magical creatures already existed many years before human civilization was established.To be precise, if human wizards are also classified as magical creatures, human magic is not too powerful.

You know, house elves, for example, can control powerful magic without a wand, and they are relatively weak among magical animals.Once a human wizard is separated from the "magic amplifier" of the wand, his strength will be greatly reduced, and the core of the wand comes from part of the body of a magical animal without exception.

Facts have proven that most mixed-blood wizards are indeed much stronger than normal wizards. For example, Hagrid's incredible magic resistance and strange strength come from his giant mother, and Fleur's superb magical talent also comes from her Veela grandmother. Very important connection.

However, humans have always been in a rather awkward attitude towards mixed-blood wizards, specifically semi-magical creatures: fear, rejection, distrust, and faint envy. It can be seen from the original work that both Fleur and Hagrid are of the same age. Among the young wizards, they are all excluded.

Elena didn't want to be treated like an animal in the zoo every day when she went to school. She just had the great "Boy Who Lived" to enjoy by herself.

"If this cannot be guaranteed, I would rather not eat it." The silver-haired little loli seemed to have bitten her tongue accidentally and let out a whimper, saying vaguely, "I would rather never learn magic than come to this place to go to school."

"Regarding this, I can assure you that no one in the school will know your identity except me and Professor McGonagall. In fact, before this, there were many people like you in Hogwarts. Student, you don’t have to worry.”

Dumbledore nodded and agreed without hesitation.

He originally thought that the girl would make some strange and harsh demands.Even if Elena didn't mention the matter of hiding her half-Veela identity, he would take the initiative to remind her not to reveal her bloodline.

In fact, if Elena had not always wanted to distance herself from the magical world, Dumbledore would not have even planned to tell Elena these things about the mixed-blood Veela in the first place.

"Also, I remember you said something, right?"

Dumbledore smiled easily. Compared to Riddle, who was more thoughtful more than ten years ago, Elena was obviously more innocent and simple.In addition to being a little willful, in general Elena is actually more willing to share her emotions and thoughts with others. As for the child's greedy nature, it is not important in Dumbledore's opinion.

"Besides that, there is a simple request that may require a little trouble. But if you are Professor Dumbledore, it is just a matter of effort."

Elena blinked, made gestures with her left thumb and index finger, and raised the second finger of her right hand.

"If possible, I hope to be able to study in the United States as a government-sponsored exchange student when I am in fourth or fifth grade at the latest."

"Well, are you going to the United States as an exchange student?"

Dumbledore had a thoughtful look in his eyes, slightly twitching his eyebrows, and then spoke slowly after pondering for a few seconds.

"Ilvermorny Magic School? This may be a bit difficult. Generally speaking, there are very few exchange students between magic schools."

"No, I'm not talking about the magic school."

Elena shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm talking about Harvard University, a school founded by Muggles. As far as I know, the Ministry of Magic has always had close ties with the British non-magical community. If Deng The British Prime Minister will definitely agree to your request, Professor Blido."

"A Muggle school"

Dumbledore's blue eyes flashed with surprise, and he frowned and looked at the little girl in front of him in confusion, as if he wanted to confirm from the look on her face whether it was just a joke.

Elena suppressed her smile, raised her head, looked Dumbledore in the eyes, and answered in an extremely serious tone.

"Yes, as I said before, the non-magical world has extremely huge potential, so someone must understand and learn all this. In my opinion, in the next ten years, it is very likely that there will be It will be the place where the most knowledge emerges from the non-magical world.”

This was also the compromise the girl finally came up with after thinking over and over again.After all, according to the future plot timeline, since the Goblet of Fire in the fourth grade, Britain has obviously become an unstable place, and she has no interest in fighting a schizophrenic noseless monster to death.

At the same time, since 1995, the Muggle world can be said to have officially ushered in the great wave of the Internet era. Almost all Internet companies that have swept the world have emerged within this decade.This is also the largest capital reshuffle in the modern history of human civilization. The opening of the virtual world and the existence of the information explosion have made the word civilization truly begin to break away from the constraints of region and nationality.

Dumbledore didn't speak and fell into a strange silence. After a long time, he spoke to break the silence.

"Is it very important?"

"It is very important to the future coexistence of our magic world and the non-magic world. This may be the last opportunity for both sides to be equal, and even for the magic world to have an absolute advantage."

Now that she understands the connection between herself and the magical world, Elena, who was born as a half-magical creature, naturally starts to use the word "we". After all, if the magical world is completely exposed in more than ten years, she doesn't want to become Dongzang. Poor Tibetan aliens.

"I understand, I need to think more about this. It's too early for fourth grade."

Dumbledore has actually always had this idea about learning from the Muggle world, but in this way, it is equivalent to using a wizard's magical potential as a bet in exchange for some unknown knowledge.

"I'd actually be pretty smart if I could finish most of the Hogwarts classes ahead of time."

Seeing that Dumbledore seemed to be a little loose, the silver-haired little Loli's eyes lit up, she stood up hurriedly and said.Originally, she just said it this time with the mentality of giving it a try. She had even made long-term preparations for going to the principal's office to drink tea and chat every day after enrolling.

Glancing at the confident Elena, Dumbledore couldn't help but laugh. He stretched out his hand to rub the long silver hair on the girl's head, shook his head with a smile and said.

"The courses at Hogwarts are not as easy as you think. Well, if you can get first place in the school in all subjects every year, I will help you find Fudge, um, that is, the Ministry of Magic The minister will discuss this matter.”

"It's a promise, Professor Dumbledore, you're not the kind of person to break your promise."

Elena stretched out her little hand and held down Dumbledore's right hand that was rubbing it on top of her head. Her eyes were so happy that they almost narrowed into a thin line.Dumbledore knew nothing about the mysterious power of academic masters from the East. You must know that every student who can survive the Purgatory difficulty of the college entrance examination is at least comparable to "Miss Know-It-All" Hermione Granger. .

not to mention

From an angle that Dumbledore couldn't see, a hint of cunning flashed in the silver-haired little Lolita's eyes.

Not to mention being number one in the school every year, if her conjecture is true, she can even become number one in the entire history of Hogwarts forever.

"That's it. As an older person, I can't remember too many requirements."

After these conversations, the relationship between Dumbledore and Elena has obviously become much closer.The old man knocked the silver-haired little Loli on the forehead gently but not too hard, and said in a half-joking tone.

"If I must say it, there is actually one more thing. Well, just think of it as compensation for kidnapping me to Hogwarts. But it's about Professor McGonagall."

Elena bit her finger, tilted her head and thought for a while before saying.

"If anything involves Professor McGonagall, I can't guarantee it for you." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and spread his hands before replying.

"It's a very simple thing. When you read the enrollment list, can you put my name Alinakasna first?"

Although she seemed to be using a careless and cute tone, Elena was actually extremely nervous inside, watching Dumbledore's expression carefully with her eyes.

Regarding time travel and changes in world lines, there have been various science fiction speculations in previous lives. Even in the Harry Potter series of stories, there are props such as time retractors that may cause paradoxes.

And this time, it was Elena's small attempt to change the known world line. She wanted to see whether the legendary world inertial restraint really existed, and whether the so-called iron-clad Hannah Abbott could really do it. Changed because of her presence.

"It's just like that, so that's no problem."

Dumbledore waited for a few seconds and found that Elena had no intention of continuing, so he couldn't help but asked in surprise.In his opinion, this request was hardly a decent request.

"Well, that's just it." The silver-haired little Loli nodded with a smile. As long as it can be confirmed that there is no so-called world-binding power, it is enough.

Everything seems to be gradually becoming more and more interesting.
