Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

Elena looked around. It had been almost a month since she last came here. During this time, everything in the room seemed to have been repaired automatically.

The delicate silverware that had been knocked over returned to the table with slender legs, spinning quietly and puffing out smoke.

The picture frame of Phineas Nigellus has also been hung back on the wall. The portraits of the former headmistresses and headmistresses of Hogwarts are all napping in the picture frame, their heads lazily leaning back on the armchair or beside the portrait. superior.

On the perch next to the door, the phoenix with beautiful golden-red tail feathers glanced at the silver-haired little Lolita, moved its paws slightly towards Dumbledore, and continued to comb its feathers.

"I've taken the beatings I deserved, and I've admitted the mistakes I've made; I've also deduced the follow-up plans on how to deal with Gringotts on the manuscript; at the branch level, I think everyone takes the initiative to express their thoughts. There’s nothing wrong with that, so…”

Before Dumbledore could speak again, Elena rattled off a lot of words like a cannon, turned sideways, grabbed the spherical door handle again, and twisted it hard.

The door still won't open.

Elena turned to look at Dumbledore.

"Let me out," the girl said.

"No," Dumbledore said simply.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds.

"Let me out." Elena said again.

"No." Dumbledore repeated what he just said.

boom!Boom!

Elena kicked the wooden door hard, turned around helplessly, covered her ears with her hands angrily, raised her head and looked at the old man, "Okay, then you say it."

Sometimes it is really difficult to accurately evaluate and define this child. Dumbledore shook his head helplessly.

"Perhaps, I think, before we start any conversation, I need to apologize to you first."

The old man thought for a while and said calmly, "I haven't had a good communication with you since the last time you left Hogwarts. I have to admit to you a mistake made by an old man - deliberately isolating you from magic. It’s not the right idea to open.”

Well?

The silver-haired little Lolita, whose face was full of resistance, blinked curiously and opened her hands slightly. Didn't she hear wrongly? Dumbledore actually took the initiative to apologize? !

"It's very beautiful [Luosphorescent Flash]. I'm not just talking about the spell itself, but the precious qualities that shine in this matter. I guess, among the countless freshmen at Hogwarts, I may never find it again." There is no brighter light than this."

Dumbledore smiled warmly, and the appreciation in his tone could not be more obvious.

Even just through Hagrid's words relayed by Professor McGonagall, he could clearly imagine Elena holding up the wand to light up the darkness for the new students.

From this alone, Dumbledore was certain that she was different from all those who had come before her.Perhaps, he should also make more attempts in his approach to girls.

"Please sit down, and by the way, fruit pie doesn't taste very good when it's cold."

Seeing the vigilance in the girl's eyes gradually disappear, Dumbledore smiled slightly, waved his wand, and several golden dinner plates appeared on the desk, filled with various desserts from the dinner just now.

"Oh, by the way, let me think about it... maybe I need a steaming pot of honey black tea?"

Gollum~

The silver-haired little loli swallowed her saliva lightly. She was just teasing little Hannah at the dinner, but she wasn't actually too full, so she secretly hid some food on her body.

"Are you really not going to dig into the past and pursue the previous incident?" Elena asked in a low voice.

"will not."

"What about my threat to the Sorting Hat?"

Dumbledore smiled and shook his head and said, "That's even more impossible. In fact, I have always felt that our sorting is too hasty and arbitrary."

"you promise!"

"I promise you." The old man nodded.

Hmm, it seems there is no danger.

Elena thought carefully, and without any further hesitation, she walked to the chair opposite Dumbledore's desk and sat down.

"Okay, then Professor Dumbledore, what do you want to say? You didn't ask me to come here specifically just to praise me."

The girl took out the already cool fruit pie from her robe and put it aside. She scooped up the trembling mango pudding with a spoon and took a sip while asking in confusion.

"As you can see, due to some of Miss Elena's actions, it is inevitable that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will encounter some problems in the coming semesters."

The old man folded his hands and placed them flat on the table, looked at the little girl in front of him with interest, and said in a steady tone.

"Professor Dumbledore, don't blame all this on me. You are also involved. Besides, I don't remember proposing any plan to tighten the school's expenditures."

Elena shrugged, took a leisurely sip of honey black tea, and replied nonchalantly.Anyway, she had done everything she could, and the rest was a headache for Dumbledore.

"Indeed, you are right. In fact, there was no such plan before this. This is one of the reasons why I talked to you tonight. I guess maybe I can get some inspiration from you."

puff!

cough cough cough...

Hearing Dumbledore's words, the silver-haired little Lolita, who was leisurely drinking honey black tea, choked suddenly and let out a violent cough.

"Wait a minute...what are you talking about?"

Elena slapped her chest hard, finally regaining her breath, and stared at the white-bearded old wizard in front of her in disbelief.

"So what you said to the Ministry of Magic tonight was all made up on the spot?!"

"There's no way, in fact I couldn't predict that the goblin would react like this." Dumbledore spread his hands and said helplessly, "For the future of the wizarding world and Hogwarts, sometimes we need to do something Make some necessary compromises. What's more, I thought about it, it will be safer for you."

"Then at the end of your dinner, the so-called "Hogwarts Special Period Adjustment Regulations"..."

"That's right, it was also a temporary idea. There are only a few measures available for the time being." Dumbledore nodded with a smile.

It has never been a simple matter to cut costs at the entire school level, and this will become more complicated in a magic school.

Not to mention herbal medicine class, potion class, magical animal protection class... these courses require a lot of magical materials to support, even courses such as transfiguration class, spells class, and even history of magic will inevitably be used frequently. There are few auxiliary teaching props or a large amount of parchment is consumed.

Therefore, Dumbledore will need a week to discuss with professors in various subjects how to revise the teaching plan and how to save as much money as possible to maintain the daily operations of Hogwarts.

"Wait, so what does all this have to do with me? I'm just an ordinary first-year student. Shouldn't this be the principal's job?"

Elena put down the dessert in her hand and smiled reluctantly.

"As you said, after all, we are all involved in this matter. Moreover, one of the reasons for the emergence of the "Hogwarts Special Period Adjustment Regulations" is to take the focus of the entire matter away from the school and you. .”

Dumbledore glanced at Elena gently and said clearly, "Therefore, I think you have the responsibility and obligation to help solve subsequent problems."

"But……"

Elena suddenly had an ominous premonition, as if a black pot covering the sky was floating toward her. She shouldn't have been greedy if she had known it.

"The most important responsibility of a school is to educate students, not to mention, I just want to hear your opinion."

Dumbledore interrupted her and said softly, "You should be able to imagine that with the emergence of the Regulations, it will inevitably cause resistance or panic among the students. Facts have proved that in soothing and mobilizing young people's Emotionally, you have many unique and effective ways. The most important thing is how to spend the gap period before the Regulations are formed."

"No, I think you are just making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger!"

Elena rolled her eyes weakly, she knew that this spicy old carrot had no good intentions.

"I think that if it is Elena Kaslana, she is fully capable of doing this."

Dumbledore replied in a slightly teasing tone. After a pause, the old man asked with slight curiosity.

"By the way, who is Fat Tiger?"
