Facts have proved that there is indeed talent in knowing the way.
At least Luna Lovegood is obviously more than a little better than Elena in this aspect.
After passing through the familiar stairs and corridors, a few minutes later, Elena and Luna arrived in front of the large staircase leading to the Ravenclaw common room on the sixth floor of the castle.
"We are here, Sister Elena." Luna stopped, turned around and said calmly.
"Hey, it turns out it's so close... I always thought it would take a long time to walk."
Elena raised her head and sighed as she looked at the stairs in front of her. The embarrassment on the white-haired dumpling's face had long since disappeared, turning into a look of indifference as if a jar had been broken - anyway, being embarrassed in front of her own little wings was not a big deal.
Thanks to the interesting trivia about "chickens and rabbits in the same cage" published in "The New Quibbler", everyone in the Ravenclaw common room finally arrived. This morning, the corridor on the sixth floor was finally free of people wrapped in sky blue.
The poor figure sleeping in the sleeping bag.
Going up the grand staircase, there is a small semicircular platform. Directly opposite is an old, bare wooden board with an eagle-shaped bronze door knocker for questions. This is where the little wizards of Ravenclaw usually answer questions and enter.
of.
However, the place where Elena and Luna were going to watch the sunrise was not the common room of Ravenclaw House.
Extending from the platform directly in front of the bronze eagle ring to the right, there is a small terrace protruding outward.
The terrace is decorated with blue and bronze silk, and emerald green vines wrap around the edge of the terrace to form a safety guardrail. There is also a fine net of thicker branches invisible below to prevent students from accidentally falling.
Standing on the small terrace of this castle and looking out, you can clearly see the beautiful scenery outside Hogwarts Castle.
On the Quidditch field, which looks like a sports field, flags are erected high and gently fluttering in the morning breeze. The golden goal posts look unique in the thin mist. The blue lake water is surging lazily and gently.
, as if taking a nap, coupled with the white clouds floating leisurely in the blue sky, it is a peaceful scene.
Further away, you can still see the lush woods of the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest. The tall trees are covered with green patches, blocking curious eyes and looking a little mysterious... Follow the green of the Forbidden Forest and spread outwards, and finally
Connected to the outline of a distant hill.
A breeze blew by, and the morning sun slowly climbed up from the horizon at the edge of the Forbidden Forest. The golden sunlight shone through the early morning fog towards Hogwarts Castle, falling on the faces and hair of Elena and Luna.
, forming a beautiful still scene on the body.
After the two of them looked at the early morning scenery quietly for a while, Elena turned her head slightly, looked at the little fairy next to her who was full of ethereal aura, and after thinking about it, she took the initiative to break the silence and asked.
"Are you homesick, Luna?"
"One thing, after all, if dad is at home alone, he might not have breakfast on time."
Luna nodded, looking at the lake in the distance without focus, and replied softly, "Although I came to Hogwarts a year earlier than he imagined, dad should be able to adjust quickly.
I'm just worried about whether Dad can handle it alone after the revision of "The Quibbler"..."
The expression on Elena's face froze, and she wanted to swallow what she just said - you know, the culprit who prompted Luna to enter school early and the revision of "The Quibbler" was not herself.
"However, these days, I have figured it out!"
Luna stretched out her fingers and touched the flower bones on the vines on the terrace curiously, and said in a brisk tone, "I will come to Hogwarts sooner or later anyway. If I enroll a year earlier, I can graduate a year earlier... What's more,
Now I can help my father share more work pressure than before."
After a slight pause, Luna turned her head and looked at Elena with her foggy silver-gray eyes.
"What about you, Sister Elena, do you have something on your mind?"
Although Elena hid this aspect very well, even Dumbledore and Grindelwald did not notice the slight worry that the girl had always had, but she still couldn't stand up to a player like Luna who relied entirely on intuition.
When in doubt, first get inspired and then follow your feelings - this is the tradition of the Lovegood family.
"Well, it did happen before."
Facing Luna's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Elena hesitated, nodded and admitted.
"If nothing else happens, this may be the last comfortable period for wizards. In less than ten years, the social model of the entire human world will undergo earth-shaking changes. Under the inevitable torrent of that civilization, individuals will
The role and influence it can exert will become increasingly smaller.”
What Elena said was not too obscure. Maybe Old Carrot and Old Potato could understand some of her feelings, but she was not sure how much Luna Lovegood could understand at this time.
For Elena, what really makes her anxious are not the challenges that have been spoiled by Aunt Rowling.
It is about the future direction of the magical world that took place after the completion of the seven-part Harry Potter series and was not written in the original work. It is also the most important part - after entering the era of the information explosion, the network information system covering the world will
Soon the entire world will be rewritten.
You know, just as traditional wizard families are worried, as the number of wizards with Muggle origins/wizards with Muggle ancestry gradually expands in the wizarding world, once the barrier between the two worlds is opened, then the situation will
It will definitely not be the ideal "wizard camp VS Muggle camp".
In any case, if family affection, love, social ethics, and even wealth and power continue to develop at the current pace of development of the magic world, when that day comes, those who choose to stand on the non-magic side will enjoy the support of more people.
There are definitely not a few wizards who are "heroes".
And at that time, the direction of Hogwarts will be completely controlled by other people's thoughts.
There was a brief silence between the two again, until a long time later, Luna spoke lightly in her unique trance-like voice, as if singing.
"Although I don't quite understand, that's for the future. We still have a lot of time now, right? And...according to you, Sister Elena, at least for now, the energy that everyone can exert is quite huge.
Bar."
"That's right." Elena nodded. At this point in time, the wizard obviously still had a certain advantage.
In fact, until the end of the Cold War, the entire knowledge system of the human world was still clearly divided into two parts. This situation is like Hogwarts and Ilvermorny today.
Perhaps in some basic contents, the two are similar, but the differences and gaps between the two become more and more obvious as you go up to the upper level - language, symbols, gestures, ways of thinking, research purposes... This difference will even be reflected in any
An unexpected little place, and it continues until one day one party is eaten by the other.
Therefore, in this case, it will be relatively easy for the magical world to interfere and influence the non-magical world.
Just like today's Ministry of Magic, it can still communicate directly with the British Prime Minister, convey some important matters that happen in the wizarding world, and seek some necessary cooperation. Of course, in most cases, it is limited to helping keep secrets.
However, with the gradual changes in electronic technology and social function systems, the network-like information flow structure will make these seemingly simple tasks complicated - even if you are the prime minister of a country, you need to explain many strange things to the security department.
The problem.
For example, why do you have a private meeting with a stranger in the middle of the night, or why is there a gap in the electronic surveillance, or why is there a security guard with a flawed political review around you...
But at the tail end of the Cold War, where the bear has not yet fallen, it is relatively easy to exert influence on the non-magical world. If it doesn't work, you can also resort to the forgetting spell "loading" and start over. This is for wizards
There is no psychological burden.
"Isn't that good enough? Sister Elena, what are you still worried about?" On the terrace of the Hogwarts tower shrouded in the morning light, Luna Lovegood's voice was like the fog surrounding the castle.
, passed over lightly.
"My mother once told me that dwelling on the past that cannot be changed or worrying about the future that has not yet happened is the most stupid thing - it has no meaning other than increasing worries and wasting time.
Understanding what you are doing now and what you are going to do, and persisting without hesitation, is the truly wise approach."
"Wisdom and responsibility are not the same thing."
Elena shook her head slightly, frowned subconsciously, and turned to look at Luna, "Mom? Mrs. Lovegood?"
Pandora Lovegood, the mother of the little angel Luna, if Elena remembers correctly, this witch who only existed in written memories died when Luna was nine years old - and this year, Luna
Just turned ten years old...
So these days, she has been deliberately avoiding this question, fearing that she might accidentally poke little Luna's wound.
But what Elena didn't expect was that Luna Lovegood accidentally mentioned her mother, which made her not know how to answer the conversation. After all, in this situation, she seemed to have nothing to say.
Very appropriate.
"To be precise...it was what my mother said before she was alive!"
Suddenly coming back to her senses, Luna's bright eyes dimmed and she said sadly.
"Mom is a powerful witch and has invented many interesting spells. However, there was a problem with one of her spells last summer. Before Dad and I could react..."
"Sorry." Elena said softly.
"It's okay, Sister Elena! Although it was... really cruel at the time."
Luna shook her head slightly, raised her head and looked at Elena with her misty, slightly protruding eyes.
"Although sometimes I still feel bad about it, but fortunately, I still have my father. And it doesn't mean that my mother has completely disappeared from this world, right?"
"What I want to say is, although I don't understand what Sister Elena is worried about, you are definitely not alone. Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Otto, Mr. Filch, Hermione, Hannah, and I
...Even if there are really troublesome and difficult problems in the future, we can help you."
"Uh-maybe..." Elena said with some uncertainty.
When the two sides' ideas conflicted, she doubted her ability to convince the two old men.
Especially, when the continuation of Hogwarts no longer becomes the fetter that binds the common interests of both parties, then what else can be used to restrain Elena, who is no longer an ordinary girl.
"It's not maybe, it's definitely."
Luna turned around. She was obviously a few months younger than Elena. The serious expression on her face made her look like Bai Mao Tuanzi's sister. She said seriously in an extremely determined tone.
.
"Believe in the friends around you, maybe they can't do anything earth-shattering, but they will make up many ordinary, almost negligible but essential details - this is the welcome message of your Hufflepuff House, I think
This sentence makes sense. Have you ever felt that you have thought too much about things that you shouldn’t worry about, and now you are obviously fine?"
This stupid wing obviously doesn't understand anything.
Elena shook her head in amusement, and was about to retort a few words when her eyes touched Luna's serious eyes, and the words that were about to slip to her lips suddenly swallowed, and the two of them looked at each other in silence like two fat chickens fighting each other.
With.
Luna had a stubborn and calm smile on her face, even though she had no idea that what Elena was carrying would affect hundreds of millions of people, billions of people, and even two worlds in the next few months.
important plans.
However, facing Luna's erroneous questioning, Elena didn't know what to say or what to think. Maybe... she should give herself a little holiday and give Hogwarts a break.
Take a vacation?
Thinking about it carefully, it has only been more than three weeks since school started, and she has already taken on too many big things.
Then for the next week, I will temporarily focus on school and "The New Quibbler". Without her stirring up trouble, Hogwarts will probably calm down for the time being and return to that kind of stability.
During class time.
"Well, okay... Then, I won't think about it so much for now. From this week on, I will concentrate on being an ordinary first-year student who studies hard, cooks well, and writes well to make up for the changes. Hogwarts
The chef and the editor-in-chief of the magazine are ready."
At the end, even Elena couldn't help but secretly stick out her tongue - unknowingly, had the list of titles and jobs that she couldn't let go of become so long?
Elena stood up and stretched comfortably against the golden morning glow.
After Luna's enlightenment, the heavy anxiety that originally weighed on Elena's heart seemed to have been relieved a lot.
"Let's go, Luna! It's almost time. I should go to the kitchen to supervise them to complete today's breakfast."
I took one last look at the sparkling lake outside the castle. Several plump big herrings just jumped out of the lake, which seemed to indicate a future full of hope and vitality... Well, I suddenly felt a little hungry.

Guacridine, Chapter 1~
It’s still a big chapter of 4,000 words~ Guacri, Fat Chicken has actually persisted for 11 days, incredible!
Hmm, it's really different when you have motivation. A major decision will be announced in a few days (although many fat chickens in the group may already know it.)
