"First and most important, I hope you can keep the identity of my half-Veela 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 exactly humans began to try to learn and master this supernatural power.
If you do not consider the mysterious Eastern legends, the earliest records of magic in history are probably from the Egyptian Pharaohs and their magicians in 2600 BC. If you do not consider ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon, the oldest magic records in the world of magic are
One record states that the Ollivanders began making wands in 382 BC.
Although Elena has always been extremely skeptical about this, because it always makes her unconsciously think of those old shops that were all over the streets and alleys in her previous life and were often said to be ancestral for thousands of years.
It was not until 4 BC that records of magic began to appear in the non-magical world in Europe. Documents were not formed until after the birth of Jesus in 4 BC. As for the British area, it was not until around 500 AD that the first traceable records appeared.
The legendary wizard based on textual research——Merlin.
But no matter what, 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 human wizards get rid of the "magic amplifier" of the wand, their strength will increase significantly.
The core of the wand is invariably derived from a part of the body of a magical animal.
Facts have proven that most hybrid 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' attitude towards mixed-blood wizards (here specifically refers to semi-magical creatures) has always been in a rather awkward state: fear, rejection, distrust, and faint envy... It can be seen from the original work that both Fleur and Hagrid
, he is an outlier among the young wizards of the same age.
Elena doesn't want to be pointed at like an animal in a zoo every day when she goes to school - that kind of treatment can only be enjoyed by the great "Boy-Who-Lived".
"If this cannot be guaranteed, I would rather not eat... Well..." The silver-haired little Luoli seemed to have bitten his tongue accidentally, whimpering, and said vaguely, "I would rather never learn magic... than come to this place.
Going to school."
"About 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. For things like hiding the half-Veela identity, even if Elena didn't mention it, 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 at first.
"What else? I remember you said 'some', right?"
Dumbledore smiled easily. Compared with Riddle, who was more thoughtful more than ten years ago, Elena is obviously simpler and simpler. In addition to being a little willful, in general, Elena is actually
She was more willing to share her emotions and thoughts with others. As for the child's greedy nature, it was of no importance to Dumbledore.
"Besides that, there is another 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 the thumb and index finger of her left hand, and raised the second finger of her right hand and said.
"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."
"Hmm... Going to the United States as an exchange student?"
Dumbledore had a thoughtful look in his eyes, slightly twitching his eyebrows, and after pondering for a few seconds, he spoke slowly.
"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
This is your request, Professor Dumbledore, and the British Prime Minister will definitely agree to it."
"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 become the place where 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, it is obvious that Britain has become an unstable place, and she is not interested.
A fight to the death with some schizophrenic noseless monster.
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 in this decade. This is also the modern history of human civilization.
The largest capital reshuffle, the opening of the virtual world and the explosion of information 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.
"Very important?"
"Very important! It is related to the future coexistence of our magical world and the non-magical world. This may be the last opportunity for both sides to be equal, and even for the magical world to be absolutely dominant."
Now that she understands the connection between herself and the magical world, Elena, who was born as a half-magical creature, naturally begins to use the word "we" - after all, if the magical world is completely exposed in more than ten years, she does not want to become
Poor aliens hiding from time to time.
"I understand, I need to think about this again. It would be 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.
"What if I could finish most of the Hogwarts classes ahead of time? I'm actually very smart."
Seeing that Dumbledore seemed to be a little loose, the silver-haired little Luoli's eyes lit up, and she stood up hurriedly and said. Originally, she just said it with the mentality of giving it a try this time, and she had even thought about it after enrolling.
Long-term preparation for going to the principal's office to drink tea and chat every day.
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 deal! Professor Dumbledore, you're not the kind of person who breaks your promise, are you?"
Elena stretched out her little hand and pressed Dumbledore's right hand that was rubbing 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 [College Entrance Exam] copy 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 eyes of the silver-haired little Luoli.
Not to mention being number one in the school every year, if her conjecture is true, she can even become the number one in the entire history of Hogwarts forever.
"That's it for these two points, right? 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 Luoli on the forehead gently 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. It's just about Professor McGonagall."
Elena bit her finger, tilted her head and thought for a while before saying.
"What is it? If it involves Professor McGonagall, I can't guarantee it for you." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and spread his hands as he replied.
"It's a very simple thing... when you read the enrollment list, can you please put my name (Alina Kaslana) first?"
Although she seemed to be using a casual and cute tone, Elena was actually extremely nervous inside, and she watched Dumbledore's expression carefully with her eyes.
Regarding time travel and changes in the world line, there have been various science fiction speculations in previous lives. Even in the Harry Potter series of stories, there are props such as time backtrackers 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 binding force really existed, and whether the so-called "Iron-Forged Hannah Abbott"
It will really change because of her presence.
"That's just it? That's not a 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 not even a decent request.
"Well, that's just it." The silver-haired little Luoli nodded with a smile - as long as he can confirm that there is no so-called world-binding power, it is enough.
Everything seems to be gradually becoming more and more interesting.
