Hogwarts, basement level, an empty classroom.

"So, it was all just an accident?"

Dumbledore took a deep breath, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

The atmosphere in the classroom was harmonious, with Elena and Hannah sitting in their seats and Peeves crouching in an empty seat like an obedient student—though that was the most terrible thing in itself.

Dumbledore rubbed his temples, what he had been fearing for a long time, really happened.

Peeves, who had never disdained to collude with his students, began to sing and harmonize with Elena for the first time ever.

"That's right, the main responsibility lies with me not aiming at the target, I'm very sorry. ”

Elena nodded, her expression cute and serious.

"No, no, no, I was supposed to move the chalk to catch the spell, but unfortunately I missed a lot. ”

Peeves said solemnly, a sly glint in his eyes.

If it weren't for the tragic "wreckage of the battle" he had witnessed just a few minutes earlier, Dumbledore would have almost believed this man's nonsense, but the most important thing now was that he would not take the initiative to ask these two little guys to cause trouble.

"Miss Abbot, tell me...... What the hell just happened?"

Grindelwald crossed his arms, intending to seek a little breakthrough from another onlooker.

"I ...... I ......"

Hannah glanced at the white-haired dumplings beside her with some hesitation, gritted her teeth, and said with a resolute expression, "I'm sorry, Mr. Apokalis. I was so sleepy that I didn't notice anything just now. ”

Dumbledore said calmly and patiently, his characteristic kind look on his face.

"Don't be afraid, we just want to understand the situation and will not punish you. ”

"I'm sorry, Professor. I don't remember anything......"

Hannah lowered her head and whispered, her tone unexpectedly firm.

Once again, the classroom fell into an awkward silence.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald suddenly realized that when they chose to drive the three little ones into the same classroom, even if it was only ten minutes or so, it would be enough for Elena to complete a seamless confession.

After all, strictly speaking, if you look at the school rules alone, there doesn't seem to be a penalty for the young wizard who accidentally hits the castle wall by casting a spell - and judging from the timing, it was not yet curfew time when the two arrived at the scene.

"Alright, you can go. ”

Dumbledore sighed helplessly and whispered to Elena, Hannah, and Peeves.

"Bye-bye, Professor, Elena, good night!"

Peeves whistled loudly, flipped his head in mid-air, took off his hat and waved it at Elena, making a soft snap that quickly dissipated into the air.

Obviously, although it is a thousand-year-old elf, compared to Elena, Peeves is still too simple, and in less than ten minutes, he was fooled by this white-haired ball with a black heart.

"Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Apocalis, good night. ”

Hannah also showed a relieved expression on her face, and hurriedly stood up, pulled the white-haired balls on the side, and quickly escaped from the classroom at a speed that was almost trotting.

"Looks like Hogwarts has two difficult elves since this year?"

Grindelwald turned his head sideways, glanced at Elena's back that was about to disappear from sight, and smiled gloatingly.

As a qualified demon king, knowing all the rules and regulations well, and finding a reasonable balance to dance on the edge of the rules, this is the most basic and difficult point - from the school rules to the laws of the wizarding world, and even the social customs of human civilization, the essential logic is the same.

"It's not too much of a problem, after all, Hogwarts has had two castle wardens since this year. ”

"Wait...... Albus, you wouldn't be naïve enough to think that this would be binding on me, would you?"

Grindelwald let out a disdainful snort, picking his nails for a long time, and looked at Dumbledore rather amusedly.

He had already thought about it, but if anything related to Elena was to sit quietly with the mud or play dead, then the fire would never burn on his own body - after all the things that happened in Newmongaard, Grindelwald's only interest now was to watch how Elena tossed Dumbledore.

"Perhaps......"

Dumbledore glanced meaningfully at Grindelwald, a mysterious smile on his face.

A millennia of confrontation could never be halted by a unilateral truce, and once Grindelwald began to patrol and supervise the students at Hogwarts Castle, a strange entanglement of fate would guide Peeves to focus on the new castlekeeper.

And when Elena joins the fray, it only gets more complicated.

After all, Peeves' power comes from the remnants of all the bear children in Hogwarts' nearly 1,000-year history.

Never before had anyone who could have made Peeves quickly form an alliance after their first contact with him/herself—not even the Weasley twins.

......

On the other side, Hannah and Elena finally made their way through the passage and returned to the Hufflepuff common room.

It's a cozy, round room with a low ceiling, and it's always very reminiscent of a badger setting.

Compared to the bustling Gryffindor common room upstairs, the Hufflepuff badgers are more gentle and reserved, and the whole large circular room is quite plainly furnished, with hanging or placed plants everywhere, and they will writhe and sing and dance when there are many people.

However, it was already after ten o'clock, and there was no sign of other students in the huge common room, except for the warm fireplace, which was still faithfully shining and illuminating the room.

"Elena, you weren't serious, were you?" Hannah asked, turning her head and lowering her voice, "I mean, wouldn't it be too hasty to use Peeves' birthday as the starting point for the Hogwarts calendar, after all, ......"

Hogwarts calendar, this is a name that Elena briefly mentioned in the classroom before.

If there is anything else that qualifies to defeat the Common Era calendar and become a chronological system that is recognized by the entire wizarding world, then the time when Hogwarts was established is definitely a heavyweight.

However, the only thing that bothered Elena and them was that the establishment of Hogwarts was a long and abstract process.

After all, from the establishment of Hogwarts Castle to the establishment of four houses, from the first student to the establishment of the first class, there are countless time nodes in the history of Hogwarts that can be used as a basis, and this time span is even long enough to span two to three years.

The reason why Elena had to go to the library to look up the materials was also to find a way to find a starting point with reliable historical sources to back it up, so that after establishing all this, she would not be picked out by the harsh experts in the history of magic.

In fact, the more terrifying thing is not to be picked on by experts in the history of magic outside the school, but if they accidentally provoke Professor Binns, then all of them, the compilers and revisers, may have to face 7*24 hours of education from a conscientious professor of the history of magic.

However, when Elena saw Peeves, she suddenly remembered a conversation with Dumbledore in the Slytherin common room a long time ago, and the problem that had been bothering her was solved in an instant - there was absolutely no problem with using Peeves' birthday as the starting point of the Wizarding Age and the Hogwarts calendar.

Even if Professor Binns is looking for trouble, he is going to talk to Peeves, what does the conversation between the two special ghosts have to do with her Elena?

"Nothing was a problem. In a sense, this is the most accurate and appropriate time. ”

Elena smiled mysteriously, didn't explain much, put the thick historical materials in her hand on the table, and stretched.

"Believe me, anyone who has truly read the text of history and knows Hogwarts will never have any doubts about this calendar. At least I'm sure Professor Dumbledore would support our idea. Anyway, that's it!"

"The first year of the Age of Magic was 998 years ago, in 993 AD. In that year, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the first wizarding school in the wizarding world to open to the whole society, was officially established. ”

"Now, let's find a way to give it something more mysterious......"

Elena excitedly unfolded the parchment, picked up the quill and dipped it in ink, and her face showed an expression of eagerness.

"For example, the magical number seven ......"
