Perhaps in most families in the European wizarding world, this name represents the history of modern magic.
But for the British gentlemen and ladies living on the other side of the English Channel, Gellert Grindelwald? The Dark Lord?
Sorry, I'm really not familiar with it.
In the eyes of most British wizards, this is just a little monster that Dumbledore defeated.
In fact, a long time ago, Elena specially arranged for Gringotts' risk control specialists to conduct background checks.
Just as Elena expected, Hermione, Hannah, and Luna were related to Grindelwald for three generations.
Hermione was born as a Muggle, and her parents were famous doctors in London; although Hannah's family was one of the twenty-eight holy tribes, most of the British purebloods did not participate in Grindelwald's camp at the time; Luna's side was safer
Well, the Lovegoods are both deadbeats and moderately sociophobic.
Judging from the reactions of the three little witches, Gringotts' risk control specialists have saved their bonuses this quarter.
"I seem to have seen this name in a book..."
Hermione frowned slightly and searched for the name in her memory, "He seems... to be a very powerful dark wizard? Everyone recognized him as the most dangerous dark wizard before Voldemort. He started a war in the European wizarding world, and it is said that many people died.
He was finally defeated by Professor Dumbledore himself."
"Well, that's roughly the case, but there are still big differences between grandpa and Tom Riddle——"
Elena curled her lips and said with a look of disgust.
If it weren't for the fact that the number "two" was not so pleasant, she would even have planned to expel Voldemort from his "darkness".
"He is your...grandfather?! Aren't you an orphan?!"
"Well, don't you know about the grandpa I just met not long ago?"
"..."
After explaining casually, Elena pointed to "The Quibbler" on the table.
"...I mean, the pen name I use when reviewing manuscripts and publishing articles."
In that magazine, at least two or three manuscripts in each issue had "Theresa Apokalis" written in the "corresponding author" column.
Regarding the origin of this pen name, Hermione had already asked once before, but she was fooled by Elena at that time, and now there are not so many surprises in the direct showdown - the Apocalis family adopted Elena during the summer
This thing is not a secret among girls.
"Elena Grindelwald is a terrible name, but Gellert Kaslana is just about the same."
Elena glanced at Hermione who was hesitant to speak, anticipated Little Beaver's question in advance, and answered quickly.
"I didn't lie this time. He wasn't my grandfather before the summer vacation. As for the previous ones, it was mostly the old guy who took the initiative to become relatives. Both the surname and the first name were all chosen by me. If you have
If you are interested, I can help you get some new identities——"
"Eh? New identity?" Hannah interjected curiously.
"Well, for example, Hannah Apokalis, or Hermione Kaslana, Luna Zaicek..."
"Zaicek? Sister Elena, you don't seem to have mentioned it in your previous stories -"
Luna tilted her head and reminded her seriously.
As for her new identity and pen name, Luna didn't really care.
After all, in order to create an atmosphere where "The Quibbler" was prosperous and enthusiastic about submissions, Mr. Lovegood would put on his vest and write articles from time to time. If Luna remembered correctly, her father had changed at least a hundred articles so far.
I have more than 40 pen names.
"Well, yes, the Fairy Queen of Gringotts Wizarding Bank - Bronya Zaicek."
Elena replied without thinking, a flash of lightning-like inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind.
She suddenly thought of how to avoid the fate of "three equal portions of dumplings". Isn't this a good way now:
The three identities correspond to Hermione, Hannah, and Luna.
And what’s even more perfect is that this can also divide the areas that each of them will be responsible for in the future. As the acting CEO of each of her identities, she can manage the increasingly large and complex Demon King’s industry, and unite when necessary to become a counterweight to Carrot.
, the capital of potato power.
Gringotts, Destiny Group, Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic...
The things involved in these three areas were too sensitive, and she really didn't feel comfortable leaving them to others.
However, if it's Hermione and the others, it doesn't matter - this is her core direct team.
In just a few moments, she analyzed and planned everything in a clear and logical manner.
"so--"
Elena gently clapped her palms, turned her head, and suggested for the second time with an expectant look on her face.
"Shall we go take a shower? Is there anything we can talk about while taking a shower? What should I say, you may not understand the complexity of all this."
"Is it more complicated than all the courses at Hogwarts combined?"
"Well... in a sense, it's roughly equivalent to the difference between copying the history of magic once and copying it ten thousand times..."
Hermione raised her eyebrows, nodded thoughtfully, and turned her face to look at Luna.
"What do you think?"
"Sister Elena is very honest today. I don't think she has bad intentions."
"……good."
Hermione looked around the room, untied her robe and put it beside the bed, and began to disarm the security equipment.
"But we agreed that this is the last time. You are not allowed to go too far alone. I also want to see the scenery you want to see."
"That may take a long, long time..."
"how long?"
"At least--"
Elena's eyelids trembled slightly as she looked around at the gorgeous medieval-looking decorations.
"Well, at least thirty years, right? Maybe even longer..."
Christmas 1992 would not arrive for another two weeks.
We were still a month away from the first World Wide Web browser available on personal computers.
The legendary "browser war" will take another three years, and after that the era of "information explosion" will begin.
But before that, Hogwarts entered the "Magic-Scientific Research" competition in advance. According to the research progress reported by the "Hogwarts Research Institute", the first one will be the latest in the month after Christmas.
The computer developed by Taiwan Wizard can be assembled.
Just as the ancients thousands of years ago couldn't understand electromagnetism, today's wizards have a hard time understanding what happens.
"We. Here. All over the world."
Elena pointed around and whispered calmly and firmly.
"Hogwarts, magical knowledge, the Ministry of Magic, our food, clothing, housing and transportation, our gaze on the deep sea and the starry sky... Whether it is the magical world or the non-magical world, all living habits, all understanding of the world,
Everything will usher in subversive changes - the world will not change, but it will usher in a new era. The charming scenery is enough to allow us to see the end of time..."
"Sounds good?"
Hermione threw down her stockings, stood up and walked to the bathroom.
"Anyway, we still have a lot of time. Didn't you say we should chat while washing up? Your Highness the Demon King."
As a little witch who had just entered the magical world for more than a year, Hermione never expected to understand everything.
From beginning to end, she just didn't want to be left too far behind by the world, that's all.
Maybe Elena still hides many secrets, but at least from now on, they have a way to understand the pursuit bit by bit, instead of rowing in vain and confused on the lake like they did in the past, trying their best to chase Sasha
Moon shadow on the lake.
but……
Hermione Kaslana?
"Miss Know-It-All" blinked.
It's so ugly. She doesn't want such a weird fake identity.
