Chapter 12 Three Small Requirements (Revised)
"First and most important point, I hope you can keep it confidential about my identity as a mixed-race teva."
Elena raised her index finger and looked at Dumbledore seriously, with an extremely serious tone.
The specific origin of wizards is too ancient to be verified now. The concept of magic has been developed since human activities, but when did humans start to try to learn and master this supernatural power?
If you don’t consider the mysterious Eastern legend, then the earliest magic record in history is roughly the Egyptian Pharaoh and their magicians in 2600 BC. If you don’t consider ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon, the most ancient record in the magic world is that the Ollivander family began to make magic wands in 382 BC.
Although Elena has always been particularly suspicious of this, it always reminds her of the old shops that were spread all over the streets and alleys in her previous life that were often known as the thousand-year-old ancestors.
The European non-magical world really began to record signs of magic, and the document was formed until the fourth BC, after Jesus came to life. As for the British region, it was not until around 500 AD that the first legendary wizard that could be traced back to the text - Merlin.
But no matter what, many years before the establishment of human civilization, those magical creatures had already existed. To be precise, if human wizards were also attributed to a magical creature, human magic power was actually not too powerful.
You should know that domestic elves can control strong magic power without a magic wand, and they are relatively weak among magic animals. Once human wizards leave the "magic amplifier" of magic wand, their strength will be greatly reduced, and the core of the wand comes from a part of the body of magic animals without exception.
Facts have proved that most mixed-race wizards are indeed much stronger than normal wizards. For example, Hagrid's incredible magic resistance and strange power come from his giant mother, and Furong's superb magical talent also has a very important connection with her Veva grandma.
However, humans' attitudes towards mixed-race wizards (here specifically refers to semi-magical creatures) have always been in a relatively embarrassing state: fear, rejection, distrust, and a vague envy... From the original work, we can see that whether it is Furong or Haigrid, they are all excluded from the alien among the young wizards of the same age.
Elena doesn't want to be treated like an animal in the zoo every day when she goes to school - with such treatment, she can just enjoy the great "boy who survives the disaster" alone.
"If this is not guaranteed, I would rather not eat it... um..." The silver-haired little luoli seemed to bite her tongue accidentally, and whimpered, saying vaguely, "I would rather never learn magic than come to this place to study."
"About this, I can assure you that no one in the school will know your identity except Professor McGonagall and me. In fact, before that, there were many students like you in Hogwarts, so you don't have to worry."
Dumbledore nodded and agreed without hesitation.
He originally thought that the girl would make some strange and harsh demands. He would take the initiative to remind her not to expose her bloodline even if Elena did not mention it.
In fact, if it weren't for Elena's constant desire to separate herself from the magic world, Dumbledore didn't even intend to tell Elena about these things about the mixed-race Feva at the beginning.
"What else? I remember you were talking about 'some' right?"
Dumbledore smiled relaxedly. Compared to Riddle, who was more thoughtful more than ten years ago, Elena was obviously simpler and simpler. In addition to being a little more willful, Elena was actually more willing to share her emotions and thoughts with others. As for the little greedy nature of a child, it seemed to be insignificant in Dumbledore.
"In addition, there is a simple request that may be a little troublesome. But if it is Professor Dumbledore, it is just a small task."
Elena blinked, gestured with her left thumb and index finger, and raised her second finger with her right hand and said.
"If possible, I hope to go to the United States as a public exchange student at the latest in the fourth to fifth grades."
"Well... are you going to the United States as an exchange student?"
Dumbledore's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he shook his eyebrows slightly, and then said slowly after pondering for a few seconds.
"Is the Ifamoni Magic School? This may be difficult. Generally speaking, there are few cases of exchange students between magic schools..."
"No, I'm not talking about magic schools."
Elena shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm talking about Harvard University, a school founded by Muggles. As far as I know, the Ministry of Magic has always had close ties with the British non-magic world. If it were Professor Dumbledore's request, the British Prime Minister would agree."
“A Muggle school?!”
A hint of surprise flashed in Dumbledore's blue eyes, and he frowned and looked at the little girl in front of him in confusion, as if he wanted to confirm from the expression on her face that it was just a joke.
Elena calmed down her smile, raised her head, looked at Dumbledore's gaze, and replied with an extra seriousness.
"Yes, as I said before, the non-magical world has extremely great potential, so someone must understand and learn all this. In my opinion, there is a very likely place where the most knowledge of the non-magical world will emerge in the next decade."
This is also the compromise that the girl finally came up with after thinking about it over and over again. After all, according to the future plot timeline, since the fourth grade Goblet of Fire, the UK has obviously become a place of uncertainty. She is not interested in fighting a schizophrenic monster to death.
At the same time, since 1995, the Muggle World can be said to have officially ushered in a big wave of the Internet era, and almost all Internet companies sweeping the world have risen in this decade. This is also the largest capital reshuffle in the modern history of human civilization, the opening of the virtual world and the existence of the information explosion, which has made the word civilization truly begin to break away from the constraints of region and nationality.
Dumbledore didn't say anything, fell into a strange silence, and after a long time, he spoke and broke the tranquility.
“Is it very important?”
"It's very important! It's about the future coexistence between our magical world and the non-magic world. This may be the last wave of the two sides being equal, and even the magical world can be at an absolute advantage."
Since she understood the connection between herself and the magic world, Elena, who was born to be half a magical creature, naturally began to use the word "we" - after all, if the magic world is completely exposed in more than ten years, she would not want to become a pitiful alien who hides from all over the world.
"I understand, I need to think about this. It's too early to say that in the fourth grade..."
Dumbledore has always had this idea about learning the Muggle world, but in this way, it is equivalent to using the magic potential of a wizard as a bet to exchange for some unknown knowledge.
"What if I could finish most of Hogwarts' courses ahead of schedule? Actually, I'm very smart."
Seeing Dumbledore seemingly loose, the silver-haired little luoli lit up and stood up hurriedly and said. Originally, she was just talking about it with a try-and-see attitude this time, and she had even planned to prepare for a long-term battle to go to the principal's office to have tea and chat every day after entering school.
After looking at the confident Elena, Dumbledore couldn't help but laugh, stretched out his hand and rubbed the girl's long silver hair on her head, and said with a smile and shook her head.
"The course at Hogwarts is not as easy as you think. This way, if you can get the first place in the school in all subjects every year, I will help you find Fudge, well, the Minister of Magic to discuss this matter."
"A word is decided! Professor Dumbledore, you are not the kind of person who breaks your promise, right?"
Elena stretched out her little hand and pressed Dumbledore's right hand that was rubbing over her head, and her eyes were almost narrowed into a thin line. Dumbledore knew nothing about the mysterious academic power from the East. You must know that every student who can pass the difficulty of purgatory is at least comparable to the existence of "Miss All-Time" Hermione Granger.
not to mention……
At the angle that Dumbledore could not see, a trace of cunning flashed in the silver-haired little luoli's eyes.
Not to mention the number one in the school every year, if her guess is true, she can even become the eternal NO.1 in the history of Hogwarts.
"It's just these two points? As an older person, I can't remember too many requests."
After several conversations, Dumbledore's relationship with Elena became significantly closer. The old man knocked on the forehead of the silver-haired little luoli and said in a half-joking tone.
"If you have to say something, there is actually another thing. Well, just treat it as compensation for kidnapping me to Hogwarts. It's just about Professor McGonagall."
Elena bit her finger, tilted her little head and said.
"What's the matter? If Professor McGonagall is involved, I can't help you." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and spread his hands and replied.
"It's very simple... Is it possible to rank my name (Alina Kaslana) first when I was studying for the enrollment roster?"
Although he seemed to be in a careless and cute tone, Elena was actually very nervous inside, and her eyes were carefully looking at Dumbledore's expression.
There are many science fiction speculations about the changes in time travel and the world line in the past life. Even in the Harry Potter series, there are props such as time tracers that may cause paradoxes.
And this time, Elena's small attempt to change the known world line. She wanted to see if the legendary world inertial binding force really exists, and whether the so-called "Iron-killed Hannah Aibo" will really change because of her existence.
"Just that's it? That's fine."
Dumbledore waited for a few seconds and found that Elena had no intention of continuing to say it, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise. This request was not a decent request to him.
"Well, that's all." The silver-haired little luoli smiled and nodded - as long as it is possible to confirm that there is no so-called world binding force.
Everything seemed to be getting more and more interesting.
