Regarding Elena and Grindelwald's layout in the Soviet Union, Dumbledore did not participate much.
A small part of the reason is economic planning, which is indeed not an area that the old wizard is good at. The more he understands the knowledge of the Muggle financial market, the more Dumbledore feels that this aspect is complicated and profound, and it is better to leave it to the experts.
response.
Of course, more consideration is due to the fact that in the entire "Destiny Rising" plan, the main executors are former saints. As the principals of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the heroes who defeated the Dark Lord Grindelwald,
It is indeed inconvenient for the patron saint of the magic world to show up and be too involved.
However, although he did not participate much, Dumbledore still used his own way to keep an eye on the two people's movements.
As expected, Dumbledore discovered during a routine inspection some time ago that a large sum of money in the underground vault was unaccounted for. After careful questioning, he only found out that it was ultimately delivered to the Muggle government of Ukraine.
Combined with the frequent outings of Elena and Grindelwald since the Christmas vacation, as well as the increasingly busy correspondence... If Dumbledore hadn't noticed that the situation had changed, he would have been taken over by the old and the young.
On behalf of the Dark Lord, they teamed up and sold it.
"Elena, don't blame Gale...he has never been good at lying to me."
Dumbledore glanced at the white-haired dumpling who glanced at Grindelwald from time to time, shook his head and said gently.
"And you don't have to hide this from me. Although Hogwarts has never been very wealthy, that wealth was originally unplanned and unexpected income. If it is used to save others, whether they are wizards or Muggles,
No matter what, maybe the school board will care about this, but in my opinion, as long as it does not affect Hogwarts, these kindnesses are extremely valuable."
As long as it doesn't affect...Hogwarts?
Elena raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, and glanced at Grindelwald's face from the side. The expression of the first-generation Dark Lord did not change at all, and she obviously did not think there was anything wrong with Dumbledore's answer.
at.
In the magical world, one is still superior after all...
Even Albus Dumbledore has a priority in his heart... Disasters caused by magic are handled by wizards. Natural and man-made disasters in the non-magical world are the Muggles' own business. If you are willing to help, then
Is it the extremely precious kind of kindness?
From this point of view, there may be some factors in this regard involved in the follow-up treatment of Chernobyl.
"So, Professor Dumbledore, what are your plans?"
Elena lowered her eyes and asked softly and casually while arranging the parchment paper at hand.
Just like Dumbledore and Grindelwald's worldview that has gradually formed over the long years, perhaps in a few decades, Elena will gradually become a mature wizard, just like Harry and Hermione in the future.
That way.
However, before that, as a time traveler, she had been exposed to the magical world for less than four months in total. Most of Elena's memory was shaped from the perspective of a Muggle.
Three Views.
Judging from the results, it seems that everything does not have much impact.
But Elena knew in her heart that in some subtle and more essential ways, she was different from the two old men. Maybe one day, sooner or later, the two sides would turn against each other because of this gap in foundation.
"I have some ideas, but I still need to discuss them with Mr. Newt Scamander."
Not aware of the girl's hidden thoughts, Dumbledore said gently, "The land around Hogwarts is limited after all. The size of the vegetable garden today has reached its limit. If it expands any further, it will be unsightly. If my idea is feasible,
If this is done, it will not only solve part of the problem of grain production, but also solve the transportation problem."
"You mean...the Traceless Stretching Spell?"
(Reply "Happy New Year" for details)
Elena nodded thoughtfully.
Before the past life time travel, the first part of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" had just been released. Newt Scamander's magical suitcase left a deep impression on people. The seemingly ordinary suitcase was like a space magic weapon in Xian Xia.
Same. In fact, the "Extension Spell" is not a particularly rare magic.
Most wizards' suitcases will cast this spell, such as Hogwarts school suitcases. Wizard suitcases sold in Diagon Alley are equipped with capacity increase or extension functions as standard, and the price ranges from five galleons to hundreds of galleons.
wait.
These spells not only increase the internal dimensions of an object while keeping the external dimensions the same, but they also make the item lighter.
However, existence similar to Newt Scamander's suitcase is still quite rare. It not only provides an exclusive habitat for each magical animal, but also has its own independent natural environment and
As for the celestial climate, this is not something that a simple traceless stretching spell can do.
"That's right! However, the release of magic spells in this area is subject to strict regulations. I will submit a complete application to the International Magic Association later, indicating the scope of application, specifications and models, and the source of land for the internal space..."
"The land...source?" Elena raised her head curiously, "Aren't those spaces created by magic?"
"Yes, and also wrong."
Dumbledore shook his head and said softly.
"Then let me explain briefly. Professor McGonagall should have told you that magic cannot create things out of thin air. What the Seamless Stretching Spell does is only expand the size of a fixed space, which is equivalent to blowing up a balloon, but within it
The land, lakes, wind, rain, sunlight...actually come from the surrounding natural environment where we live. So, do you understand?"
Elena thought for a few seconds and nodded slowly.
"In other words, the essence of the Space Expansion Spell is actually a form of folding the existing space... Rather than adding a new area, it is actually cutting and pasting the external space... It's just that this
Perhaps we need to look at spatial changes from a more macro perspective...rather than changes in a single region..."
"???"
The smile on Dumbledore's face froze slightly, as if he didn't hear what you said, Eileen, and continued without changing his expression.
"In short, it involves extremely advanced magical knowledge, which is not just about magic, but also includes transfiguration, alchemy, and even some herbalism and astronomy... It is no longer something that students can complete...
…”
"Therefore, just leave this matter to me and Albus for the time being. You can give yourself a break first."
Grindelwald grinned, put his arm around Dumbledore's shoulders, and said with a smile.
"And as far as we know, Elena, you haven't even had time to open the Christmas gifts that your friends gave you, right? That's not okay..."
"Well, I've been very busy these days, and I really haven't had time to open Christmas gifts. But..."
Elena nodded, a trace of suspicion flashed in her lake-blue eyes, and she asked softly.
"Why do you two old men who can't enter the girls' dormitory know the state of the pile of gifts I put next to my bed?"
