Chapter 289 The Secret Transaction (10,000 Characters)
Hogwarts, basement level, an empty classroom.
"So, this was all just an accident?"
Dumbledore took a deep breath, his eyebrows trembling slightly.
The atmosphere in the entire classroom was quite harmonious, with Elena and Hannah sitting obediently in their seats, and Peeves squatting on an empty seat like an obedient student - although this in itself was the most terrifying thing.
Dumbledore rubbed his temples. What he had been worried about had really happened.
Peeves, who had never bothered to collude with the students in giving confessions, began to sing and sing with Elena like never before.
"Yes, the main responsibility is that I didn't aim well. I'm very sorry."
Elena nodded, her expression cute and serious.
"No, no, no, I should have moved the chalk to catch the spell, but unfortunately I accidentally missed a lot."
Peeves said seriously, with a cunning light in his eyes.
If he hadn't just witnessed the tragic "battle wreckage" a few minutes ago, Dumbledore would have almost believed the lies about one person and one ghost. But the most important thing now is that he would not take the initiative to ask these two little guys to cause trouble.
"Miss Aibo, tell me...what happened just now?"
Grindelwald crossed his arms, intending to seek a breakthrough from another bystander.
"me……"
Hannah glanced at the white-haired dumpling next to her with some hesitation, gritted her teeth, and said resolutely, "I'm sorry, Mr. Apokalis. I was so sleepy that I didn't notice anything just now."
Dumbledore said calmly and patiently, with his representative kind expression on his face.
"Don't be afraid, we just want to understand the situation and will not punish you."
"Sorry, Professor. I don't remember anything..."
Hannah lowered her head and whispered, her tone unexpectedly firm.
The whole classroom once again fell into an awkward silence.
Dumbledore and Grindelwald suddenly realized a problem. When they chose to rush the three little ones into the same classroom, even if it only took about ten minutes, it would be enough for Elena to complete a seamless confession.
After all, strictly speaking, if you just look at the school rules, there seems to be no provision for punishment for the little wizard who makes a mistake in casting a spell and accidentally hits the castle wall - and from a time point of view, when the two arrived at the scene
, and it’s not even curfew time yet.
"Okay, you can go."
Dumbledore sighed helplessly and whispered to Elena, Hannah and Peeves.
"Bye, head professor! Good night, Elena!"
Peeves whistled loudly, turned somersaults in mid-air, took off his hat and waved it towards Elena, making a soft snap and quickly dissipating into the air.
Obviously, although he is a thousand-year-old elf, compared to Elena, Peeves is still a little too innocent. In less than ten minutes, he was cut open by this evil spirit.
Bai Mao Tuanzi was fooled.
"Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Apokalis, good night."
Hannah also had an expression of relief on her face. She stood up hurriedly, pulled the white-haired dumpling beside her, and fled the classroom quickly at a speed that was almost trotting.
"It seems that starting from this year, Hogwarts will probably have two difficult elves?"
Grindelwald turned his head, glanced at Elena's back, which was about to disappear from sight, and smiled happily.
As a qualified Demon King, he knows all the rules and regulations, and finds a reasonable balance point that dances on the edge of the rules. This is the most basic and difficult point - from school rules to the laws of the magical world, and even to human civilization.
The underlying logic of social customs is the same.
"It's not a big problem. After all, Hogwarts has two castle keepers starting from this year."
"Wait... Albus, you don't naively think that this will have any binding force on me, do you?"
Grindelwald let out a disdainful snort, picked his nails leisurely, and looked at Dumbledore beside him with amusement.
He has already thought about it, but for any incident that involves Elena, he only needs to calm down quietly or pretend to be dead, and then the fire will never burn him - after experiencing Numenga
After all the things that happened in Germany, Grindelwald's only interest now is to watch Elena torment Dumbledore.
"maybe……"
Dumbledore glanced meaningfully at Grindelwald, with a mysterious smile on his face.
A confrontation that can last for thousands of years will never stop due to a unilateral truce. When Grindelwald starts patrolling and supervising students in Hogwarts Castle, the wonderful entanglement of fate will guide Peeves to pay attention.
Focus on this new castle administrator.
And when Elena joins the battle, everything will only become more complicated.
After all, although Peeves' power comes from the remnants of all the naughty children in Hogwarts' nearly thousand-year history.
Before this, there had never been a person who could quickly form an alliance with Peeves after their first contact just by his words and deeds - not even the Weasley twins.
Didn't do this either.
…
On the other side, Hannah and Elena finally walked through the passage and returned to the Hufflepuff common room.
It's a cozy, round room with a low ceiling, very reminiscent of the Badger set.
Compared to the lively and noisy Gryffindor common room upstairs, Hufflepuff's little badgers are more gentle and restrained. The entire large circular room is quite plainly decorated, with hanging or placed plants everywhere.
, they will also twist and sing and dance when there are many people.
However, it was already after ten o'clock, and there were no other students in the huge common room. Only the warm fireplace was still glowing faithfully, illuminating the entire room.
"Elena, were you serious just now?" Hannah turned her head and lowered her voice and asked softly, "I mean, wouldn't it be too much to use Peeves' birthday as the starting point of the Hogwarts calendar?"
It's a little hasty, after all..."
Hogwarts Calendar, this is a name that Elena briefly mentioned in the classroom before.
If there is anything else that is qualified to defeat the AD calendar and become a chronological system recognized by the entire magical world, then using the time when Hogwarts was established as a measure, it is definitely a heavyweight that takes its place.
However, the only thing that bothered Elena and the others was that the establishment of Hogwarts was a long and abstract process.
After all, from the establishment of Hogwarts Castle to the establishment of the four colleges, from the enrollment of the first student to the establishment of the first class, there are countless time nodes in the development history of Hogwarts that can serve as a basis. This time span even
It can last as long as two to three years.
The reason why Elena must go to the library to search for information is also to find a way to find a starting point in time supported by reliable historical data, so that after establishing all this, the harsh experts on the history of magic will not find loopholes.
In fact, the scarier thing is not to be criticized by experts on the history of magic outside the school, but if they accidentally offend Professor Binns, then all of them, the editors and revisions, may have to face criticism from the dedicated history of magic professor 7*24
Hours of education.
However, when Elena saw Peeves, she suddenly recalled a conversation she had with Dumbledore in the Slytherin common room a long time ago, and the problems that had been bothering her were instantly solved - with Peeves
There is absolutely no problem with his birthday being the starting point of the Magical Era and the Hogwarts calendar.
Even if Professor Binns wanted to cause trouble, he would always chat with Peeves. What does the conversation between two special ghosts have to do with her, Elena?
"There is no problem. In a sense, this is the most accurate and appropriate time point."
Elena smiled mysteriously, without explaining too much. She put the thick historical information in her hand on the table and stretched.
"Believe me, as long as someone who has truly read the historical text and truly understands Hogwarts, they will never have any doubts about this calendar. At least I am sure that Professor Dumbledore will also support our idea. In short,
,Ok, deal!"
"The first year of the Magical Era was 998 years ago, AD 993. In that year, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the first wizarding school in the wizarding world to recruit students from the whole society, was officially established."
"Now, let's find a way to give it some more mysterious explanations..."
Elena unfolded the parchment excitedly, picked up the quill and dipped it in ink, with an eager expression on her face.
"For example, the magical number seven..."
