Chapter Nineteen The Unbreakable Oath
Elena looked down at the hard candies that were disassembled in the palm of her palm. The square hard candies showed a light orange luster similar to amber. It smelled like a lot of caramel was added as the main ingredients. The girl licked her lips - it looked very sweet...
No, right, she is angry now!
The silver-haired little luoli suddenly shook her head and came to her senses. If it weren't for the candy that had been opened, she would even want to throw away the candy in her hand.
Is this really treating her as a kindergarten child?!
Just then, she felt a light pat on her head again and heard Dumbledore's extremely serious voice coming from her ears.
"Among all the little wizards I have ever seen, your powerful magic potential is as dazzling as the sun in the sky. But being too powerful is sometimes not a good thing. If you lack the right guidance, it may even backfire your body and turn you into a terrible non-human existence..."
Speaking of this, Dumbledore frowned with some distress, thinking about how to explain her current physical condition to the girl.
After all, for now, Elena's control over magic is much better than he thought.
Dumbledore didn't want to create an alarmist feeling for the girl by describing too many terrible consequences.
“…Obscurial, I know.”
To Dumbledore's surprise, Elena nodded in a clear way and replied dryly.
As a fan of the Harry Potter movie series, before traveling through time, she had watched the first movie "Where is Fantastic Beasts". She was particularly impressed by the silent man named Credence. After all, there were not many people who could fight Grindelwald, the strongest dark wizard in history, one-on-one.
In order to escape the bad luck, young wizards will suppress their magical power, but due to lack of guidance, they did not learn to control and control their power, so they derived the parasite - the dark magical power "Obscurus".
Once the wizard is subjected to great emotional fluctuations, the silence in his body will explode, and the silencer will turn into a black fog without entity, with extremely powerful destructive power.
However, in the documentary records of wizard history, there is no case that the silent person can live beyond 10 years old except the silent person Credence.
And Elena is now just ten years old.
Elena subconsciously clenched the hard candy in her hand and continued nervously.
"But I have always had the ability to use it secretly, although I always called it [Celebrity Humanoid] before I received a letter from the owl. Professor Dumbledore, do you mean, will I become that way?"
The mixed-race Little Feva bit her lip hard and said unwillingly.
“That is, if I refuse to join Hogwarts…”
If she was not mistaken, this should be Dumbledore's killer weapon to get her into school - joining for treatment or leaving her to fate.
Dumbledore shook his head, raised his hand to stop the girl's words, and said seriously.
"Even if you don't join Hogwarts, I will still teach you how to control magic. Human life is not a bargaining chip that can be traded."
"But, other than that, Hogwarts and the magic world will not provide you with any protection and intellectual help."
Dumbledore continued clearly, "And when you threaten the peace of the non-magical world or the magical world, I will not cause any interference or advice on the reasonable behavior of the Ministry of Magic."
“…”
Elena looked deeply at the old man who was squatting in front of her, known as the guardian of the magic world, and her lips moved and forced the "thank you" that was about to blurt out.
Turning his head away from Dumbledore's sight, the silver-haired little luoli kicked the thick carpet fur and muttered in a low voice, "It seems that if I join Hogwarts and you will take the blame for me after the trouble."
Take the blame?
A trace of helplessness flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, and he discovered another problem that always occurred in his communication with Elena - too many strange Muggle words.
Even if he could hear every word clearly, he could not accurately understand the meaning of the girl.
You should know that one of the advantages that Dumbledore had always been proud of when he was young was that he was always able to understand the ideas of most people (also including various intelligent magical creatures).
Perhaps, just as many people rumored outside, he was really old and began to lose track of the thinking of young people.
Dumbledore shook his head, put the thoughts in his mind away, and looked at Elena's eyes and said seriously in an extremely firm tone.
"In fact, what I want to say next is: If you become my student, I am willing to do my best to protect you and teach you all the magic knowledge I know without reservation until you grow into a witch who can stand alone."
"Guardian? Magical Knowledge...all?"
Elena raised her eyebrows and repeated it. She didn't think Dumbledore was so confused that she couldn't tell the difference between the two words "protection" and "guardian", and she wouldn't naively feel that everything Dumbledore said about only includes O.W.L (Ordinary Wizard Level Examination) and N.E.W.T (Advanced Wizard Level Examination).
"Yes, you deserve it." Dumbledore smiled calmly.
"But... professor, what is the price?"
Elena said leisurely that she didn't think she had any domineering spirit in the YY novels in her previous life, which made Dumbledore suddenly believe her without reservation, especially after Dumbledore witnessed the growth experience of more than one Dark King with his own eyes.
"There is no price, you just need to make an oath: to ensure that you will never start a war between the non-magical world and the magical world, and when the two worlds merge, stand up and guide everything in the direction of peace. Always safeguard the interests of the Hogwarts Magic School and the magical world."
Dumbledore replied smoothly without thinking, and could see that this was not his temporary remark, as if he had already prepared himself and was just waiting for Elena to appear.
Since more than a decade ago, the promising Tom Riddle gradually took the detour and became Voldemort, Dumbledore has been reflecting on this issue. Young wizards with outstanding talents are often more susceptible to the temptation of power. At this time, if there is a spiritual line of defense to help them defend the bottom line, perhaps everything will end differently.
"Professor Dumbledore, I think you may have overestimated me."
Elena smiled awkwardly. She had no interest in becoming the patron saint or savior of the magic world. Her only interest was to be able to eat and drink happily, and then she hid in the United States after the fourth grade to watch the growth of those young Internet giants.
"But it may also be underestimating... Elena, you don't know how great the potential is." Dumbledore blinked slyly, not giving Elena any luck.
(╯°□°)╯︵┻━┻
This is completely impossible to communicate, and the topic has been talked about and then revolved around.
After a few seconds of silence, the silver-haired little luoli turned his eyes and suddenly found a loophole in Dumbledore's words.
"And, this is not reasonable. You are such a powerful wizard. Although there are various ways to make me abide by the oath I made, there are no rules that can bind your promises. What if you don't teach me magic in the future or don't protect me anymore."
"The unilateral oath constraint, no matter how whitewashing it, is actually an unequal treaty. I don't want to sign any slave contract."
With a huge gap in strength, all promises are impossible to be true - agreements will only happen under the same circumstances.
In Elena's view, as long as there is still a huge gap in strength between the two sides, Dumbledore's idea is just an insecurity fantasy that depends entirely on his own credibility.
Dumbledore smiled slightly and said with a relaxed look, "Of course all vows should be two-way. Have you ever heard of an ancient magic called the Unbreakable Vow?" [Note 1 click to view]
For this magic that was almost used in the circle of fandoms in the previous life, which was almost used as all the wizards' marriage declarations, Elena naturally did not need Dumbledore's additional explanation. If Dumbledore was willing to make this idealistic vow that was almost the effect of the law, there would naturally be no problems.
"But," Elena shrugged, "The unbreakable oath also requires a witness (Bonder), who can have the magic and qualifications to restrain you who are already at the top of the entire wizarding world..."
Dumbledore did not answer directly, gently picked up the wand placed beside him, rubbed the wood grain on the wand with slender fingers, and suddenly asked a strange question.
"You actually know what the logo next to the piano just now, right? I don't think if it was just a normal pattern, you would look back and forth several times in a conversation."
Elena's pupils shrank slightly, and she suddenly remembered that there was indeed a powerful wizard in this world who could compete with Dumbledore.
"You're not serious, are you?"
"It seems that I don't need any additional explanation." Dumbledore nodded happily, "Actually, he may be more looking forward to seeing you appear than I do. After all, in a sense, you still have a lot of similarities with his ideas."
Guru~
The silver-haired little luoli swallowed and finally understood why Dumbledore's attitude towards her was so strange. She had been doing it for a long time and found out that she was regarded as the new Dark King Seedling?!
"Actually, there should be any misunderstandings in this, Professor Dumbledore, listen to my explanation..." Elena said weakly with her little paws.
"There's not much time left, let's go, remember not to scare the poor Fox anymore."
Dumbledore grabbed Elena's little hand with one hand, and held the Phoenix's long golden tail tightly with the other hand, and said clearly, "Please, Fox, take us to the Newmongad Tower."
"Wait, you don't think about it anymore..."
With a flame, the two disappeared into the principal's office.
