"The latest issue of "The Quibbler," Elena, are you talking about the ones we discussed before?"
Hermione came over curiously, and the previous worries and dissatisfaction were instantly forgotten. Compared to the desire for food and drink, she really cared more about the process of witnessing the birth of knowledge bit by bit.
"That's right, except for the introduction I wrote myself, several other articles have your names - the first author and the second author respectively. Thank you for your hard work."
Elena nodded, opened the pages to the articles in "The Quibbler", and handed them to Hermione and Hannah with a smile.
After all, in terms of workload, Hermione, as a calculator, is responsible for the most important collection and processing of raw data.
Hannah was responsible for all the physical labor of transcribing and excerpting. In comparison, Elena's more contribution was mainly to provide ideas and direction, so she was only named as the corresponding author.
You know, in order to explain to Xenophilius Lovegood what a corresponding author, first author, and second author are, Elena almost wrote the contents of half a piece of parchment, and she was almost so angry that she just pulled it away
The little fat chicken with a flat head added some blood and a few feathers to directly threaten it.
"Corresponding author, Theresa Apokalis?"
Hermione looked carefully at the author's signature at the top of the magazine, then raised her head and looked at Elena with some confusion.
"My pen name and surname were Mr. Otto's."
Elena glanced at "Grandpa" who was still eating and drinking in the faculty seat, and replied very calmly.
"After all, this is a major project to reorganize the Magic Era. If we all use our real names, it will be too easy to be questioned and criticized in terms of subsequent exposure - the prejudice against age in the magic world, coupled with the long-standing newness in the author world.
The old chain of contempt, a clear target for criticism, is likely to cause all our efforts to be ignored."
Another reason is that as time goes by, it is foreseeable that the name Elena Kaslana will become more and more exposed, and once Grindelwald and Gringotts are involved, it will inevitably
Attracting the attention of the entire magical world.
At that time, it is likely to have an impact on the things they are doing now, including the purpose and meaning, and may be over-interpreted by people with ulterior motives, such as whether it is to whitewash Grindelwald's dark history.
, or to deliberately provoke disputes or the like.
"Well, is that so? Elena, you are more thoughtful."
Hermione nodded as if she understood. After all, she was still an eleven-year-old little witch, and she didn't know much about the adult world, especially when it came to things like criticism and chains of contempt.
Obscure terminology.
But Hermione's intuition told her that what Elena did was not malicious to her, and that was enough.
"But if this happens, won't your name be gone? Obviously..."
"It doesn't matter, as long as it has your signature on it, that's enough."
Elena waved her hand nonchalantly, smoothed the messy hair in front of Little Beaver's forehead, looked at Hermione's bright brown eyes quietly, and said softly.
People have to learn to be content and hide their edge. Let Hermione and Hannah have the honor of being the editors of the history of magic. Her future titles are already dazzling enough. It doesn't mean much to have more or less labels.
"Elena..." Looking at the pair of lake-blue eyes so close at hand, Hermione panicked for no reason.
Before Hermione could reorganize her words, Hannah Abbott on the side suddenly leaned over, glanced at the contents of the half-opened letter in Elena's hand, and said with some curiosity.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Lovegood's handwriting is so delicate, as if it were written by a girl."
"Eh?!"
Elena's expression changed slightly, then she nodded quickly and followed Hannah's words and spoke very naturally.
"Yeah, I think it's a little strange too. But Mr. Lovegood is the editor-in-chief of "The Quibbler" magazine, so no matter what kind of words he writes, it won't be too strange. What he published in the magazine
The little story is bizarre enough."
Xiaodaimao is wandering - this is a sign of lying and guilty conscience.
Hannah glanced at the top of Elena's head, narrowed her eyes meaningfully, and curled her lips noncommittally.
"Oh I got it."
Obviously, this white-haired dumpling must be trying to hide something.
But what exactly is she doing needs to be analyzed by Hermione later. As for now...
Hannah looked at Hermione Granger, who had been coaxed into a blank state by Elena's sweet words, and shook her head helplessly - first she was force-fed roasted durian and coriander cakes by Elena, and then she experienced
With such sugar-coated bullets, it’s no wonder that her allies have temporarily lost their ability to fight.
"Of course it is." Elena added again with a guilty conscience.
Although they are all girls, no one can guarantee whether Hannah and Hermione will be jealous. Before cute little Luna appears in Hogwarts Castle, it is safer for her to try not to expose her little plan.
"but……"
Hermione looked at the contents of the magazine carefully, and a trace of worry appeared on her face.
"The Magical Era, the lost time coordinates of wizards...the historical truth deliberately concealed by those in power...who is trying to make our descendants forget magic...the lost magic seven in the Muggle Era..."
"Are these statements too sharp and absurd? I mean, neither the Ministry of Magic nor the mainstream wizarding community will accept the content of this magazine so easily. Especially, especially it is so ridiculous.
of……"
Hermione hesitated, trying to find a less unpleasant adjective.
Taking advantage of this time, she briefly browsed through the other articles in this issue of "The Quibbler". They were all absurd and bizarre stories, such as how some humans had actually been replaced by a magical animal that looked like a pigeon.
; For example, there is a witch who claims that she has a space channel in her body that will never be excreted; for example, the goblins of Gringotts formed a secret army and tried to attack Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic...
"Maybe it's all true. Hermione, did you know?"
Elena blinked, took "The Quibbler" back from Hermione's hand, turned it upside down intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at it pretendingly, and said meaningfully.
"There are always some people in this world who seem to be incompatible with the entire world, but they hold a fragmented truth that others don't know, but the price is often just out of tune... And I, um, we, need
That kind of people."
"As for recognition from mainstream society? This is really a simple matter."
Elena paused for a few seconds, rolled up the magazine in her hand and tapped her chin, with a hint of joking appearing on the corner of her mouth.
People are always superstitious about authority, but they don't know that authority will always surrender to power - and at this moment, Old Carrot and Old Potato are the most powerful forces in the world today.
