Chapter 19: An Unbreakable Oath (Ask for Recommendations)
Elena looked down at the hard candy in her palm, the square hard candy had a light orange sheen similar to amber, and it smelled like a lot of caramel had been added as the main ingredient, and the girl licked her lips - it looked like a sweet kind......
No, no, she's angry right now!
The silver-haired little Lori shook her head suddenly, and came back to her senses, if it weren't for the fact that the candy had been opened, she would even want to throw away the candy in her hand directly.
Is this really coaxing her like a kindergarten child?!
At that moment, she felt another gentle tapping on the top of her head, and heard Dumbledore's very serious voice in her ears.
"Of all the young wizards I've ever met, your powerful magical potential is as bright as the sun in the sky. But too powerful a talent is sometimes not entirely a good thing, and without the right guidance, it may even eat back at your body and turn you into a terrible inhuman being......"
At this, Dumbledore frowned in annoyance, and he pondered how to explain her current physical condition to the girl.
After all, at present, Elena's control of magic power is much better than he imagined.
Dumbledore didn't want to create an alarmist sense for the girl by describing too many terrible consequences.
β...... Obscurial, I know. β
To Dumbledore's surprise, Elena nodded knowingly and replied dryly.
As a fan of the Harry Potter series of movies, she had also watched the first part of the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" before crossing over, and she was particularly impressed by the silent man named Credence, after all, there are not too many existences that can single-handedly face the strongest dark wizard in history, Grindelwald.
Young wizards suppress their magical powers in order to escape their doom, but due to a lack of guidance, they do not learn to harness and control their powers, resulting in a parasite, the dark magical power "Obscurus".
Once the wizard is subjected to great emotional fluctuations, the silence in the body will explode, and the silence will turn into a black and disembodied black mist, which is extremely destructive.
However, in the documentary record of wizarding history, there is no case of the Silent being able to live past 10 years of age, except for Credence the Silent One.
And Elena is now exactly ten years old.
Elena subconsciously clenched the hard candy in her hand and continued a little nervously.
"I've always had the ability to use it on the sly, though, until I heard from the owl, I had always called it a [Seductive Humanoid]. Professor Dumbledore, do you mean, I'm going to be like that?"
The mixed-race little Meiwa bit her lip vigorously and said a little unwillingly.
"That is, if I refuse to join Hogwarts......"
If she guessed correctly, this should be Dumbledore's killer plan to get her into school - join to get treatment or resign herself to fate.
Dumbledore shook his head, raised his hand to stop the girl's words, and said.
"Even if you don't join Hogwarts, I'll teach you how to control magic. Human life is not a bargaining chip that can be traded. β
"However, other than that, Hogwarts and the wizarding world will not provide you with any shelter or intellectual help. β
Dumbledore continued in a coherent manner, "Also, if you threaten the peace of the non-magical world or the wizarding world, I will not interfere with the reasonable behavior of the Ministry of Magic. β
β......β
Elena took a deep look at the old man crouching in front of her, known as the patron saint of the wizarding world, her lips moved, and she forcibly swallowed back the "thank you" that was about to blurt out.
Turning her head away from Dumbledore's gaze, the silver-haired little Lori kicked the thick carpet fur and muttered, "It's as if if if I joined Hogwarts and got into trouble, you'd help me take the blame." β
Back...... Wok?
A flash of helplessness flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, and he noticed a problem that always arose when communicating with Elena - too many strange Muggle words.
Even though he could hear every word, he couldn't understand exactly what the girl was trying to say.
You know, as a young man, one of the virtues that Dumbledore always prided himself on was that he was always able to understand the minds of most people (including all kinds of intelligent magical creatures) very accurately.
Perhaps, as many people outside the world rumored, he is really old and is beginning to be unable to keep up with the thinking of young people.
Dumbledore shook his head, put the thoughts in his mind away, looked into Elena's eyes, and said in a serious tone of extreme firmness.
"In fact, what I'm going to say next is: if you become my student, I'm willing to do everything I can to protect you, imparting all the magic knowledge I know until you grow into a witch on your own. β
"Guardian of magical knowledge...... All of them?"
Elena raised an eyebrow and repeated, she didn't think Dumbledore would be so confused that she couldn't tell the difference between the words "protection" and "protection", and she wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that all that Dumbledore was talking about was only O.W.L and N.E.W.T.
"Yes, you deserve it all. Dumbledore smiled calmly.
"But...... Professor, at what cost?"
Elena said leisurely that she didn't think that she had any domineering aura in her previous life, which could make Dumbledore suddenly believe in her unreservedly, especially after Dumbledore had witnessed more than one Dark Lord growing up.
"There is no cost, just a pledge to promise that you will never start a war between the non-magical world and the magical world, and when the two worlds come together, stand up and steer everything in the direction of peace. Always defend the interests of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the wizarding world. β
Dumbledore replied smoothly without thinking, and it was clear that this was not his impromptu remarks, as if he had been prepared for a long time, just waiting for Elena to appear.
Ever since the promising Tom Riddle went off the rails to become Voldemort more than a decade ago, Dumbledore has been reflecting on the fact that talented young wizards are often more susceptible to the temptation of power, and at this time, if there is a mental line of defense to help them hold the line, maybe everything will end differently.
"Professor Dumbledore, I think you may be overestimating me. β
Elena smiled a little awkwardly, she had no interest in becoming the patron saint or savior of the wizarding world, her only interest was to be able to eat and drink happily, and then wait until the fourth grade to hide in the United States to watch the growth of those immature Internet bigwigs.
"But it could also be an underestimate...... Elena, you don't know how much potential you have. Dumbledore blinked slyly, not giving Elena any idea of luck.
(β―Β°β‘Β°)β―οΈ΅β»ββ»
It's completely impossible to communicate, and the topic has come around and back.
After a few seconds of silence, the silver-haired little Lori rolled her eyes and suddenly found a loophole in Dumbledore's words.
"And it doesn't make sense. A wizard as powerful as you may have all sorts of ways to get me to keep the vows I made, there are no rules that can bind your promises. What if Raippi doesn't teach me magic after that, or doesn't protect me anymore. β
"Unilateral oaths, however whitewashed, are an unequal treaty, and I don't want to sign any slave contract. β
Under the disparity of strength, all promises cannot be established - agreements can only happen in the case of reciprocity.
In Elena's opinion, as long as there is still a huge power gap between the two sides, then Dumbledore's idea is just an unsecured fantasy that depends entirely on his own credibility.
Dumbledore smiled slightly, and said lightly, "Of course, all oaths should be two-way, have you ever heard of an ancient magic called the unbreakable oath?" [Note 1 click to view]
For this magic that was used in the fandom circle in her previous life, almost all the marriage declarations of wizards, Elena naturally did not need Dumbledore's additional explanation, if Dumbledore was willing to make this idealistic oath that was close to the effect of the law, naturally there would be no more problems.
"But," Elena shrugged, "the unbreakable oath also needs a Bonder, who has the magic and qualifications to bind you, who are already at the top of the entire wizarding world......"
Dumbledore didn't answer directly, he gently picked up the wand that was placed beside him, his slender fingers rubbing the wood grain on the wand, and suddenly asked a strange question.
"You know what that sign next to the piano is, right? I don't think if it was just a normal pattern, you'd go back and forth several times in a conversation. β
Elena's pupils shrank slightly, and she suddenly remembered that there was indeed another powerful wizard in this world who could compete with Dumbledore.
"You can't be serious, can you?"
"Looks like I don't need to explain anything else. Dumbledore nodded happily, "Actually, he might be more excited to see you than I am." After all, in a sense, there are still a lot of similarities between you and his ideas. β
Grunt~
The silver-haired little Lori swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and finally understood why Dumbledore's attitude towards her was so strange, and it turned out that she was being regarded as the new Dark Lord seedling for a long time?!
"Actually, there should be some misunderstanding in this, Professor Dumbledore, you can explain ...... me," Elena said weakly, raising her little paws.
"Time is running out, let's go, and remember not to scare poor Fawkes again. β
Dumbledore grabbed Elena's small hand with one hand, and tightly grasped the phoenix's long golden tail with the other, and said clearly, "Please, Fawkes, take us to the Tower of Newmengard." β
"Wait, you don't want to think about it anymore ......"
With a burst of flames, the two disappeared into the principal's office.
