Regarding the layout of Elena and Grindelwald in the Soviet Union, Dumbledore was not involved much.

A small part of this is due to economic planning, which is indeed not the area of the old wizard's expertise, and the more he understands the knowledge of the Muggle financial market, the more Dumbledore feels that this aspect is complicated and esoteric, and it is better to leave it to the experts to deal with.

Of course, it is more considered because in the entire "Rise of Destiny" plan, the main executors are the former saints, as the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the hero who defeated the Dark Lord Grindelwald, and the patron saint of the wizarding world, it is indeed inconvenient to show up and be involved too deeply.

However, although he did not participate much, Dumbledore still kept an eye on the movements of the two in his own way.

Sure enough, some time ago, during his routine inspection, Dumbledore found that a large amount of money in the underground vault was unknown, and after some careful inquiry, he only knew that it was finally delivered to the Ukrainian Muggle government.

Combined with the frequent outings of Elena and Grindelwald since the Christmas holidays, as well as the increasingly busy correspondence responses...... If Dumbledore hadn't noticed a change in the situation, he would have been sold by the Dark Lord.

"Elena, don't blame Gail...... He's never been good at lying to me. ”

Dumbledore glanced at Grindelwald's white-haired balls from time to time, shook his head, and said gently.

"And you don't have to hide it from me, although Hogwarts has never been very generous, but that wealth was originally an unplanned windfall. If it's for the benefit of others, wizards or Muggles—maybe the School Board cares, but to me it's incredibly valuable as long as it doesn't affect Hogwarts. ”

As long as it doesn't affect ...... Hogwarts?

Elena raised her eyebrows imperceptibly, and the afterglow swept over Grindelwald's face on the side, and the original Dark Lord's expression did not change at all, and obviously did not feel that there was anything wrong with Dumbledore's answer.

The wizarding world, after all, is still superior......

Even Albus Dumbledore has a priority in mind...... Magical disasters are handled by wizards, and natural and man-made disasters in the non-magical world are the Muggles' own business - if you are willing to help, it is an extremely precious good?

In this way, there may be some factors in the follow-up treatment of Chernobyl.

"So, Professor Dumbledore, do you have any plans?"

Elena lowered her eyes and asked in a casual whisper as she sorted out the parchment paper in her hand.

Just like Dumbledore and Grindelwald, who have developed their worldview over the years, perhaps in a few decades, Elena will gradually become a full-fledged wizard, just like Harry and Hermione in the future.

However, before that, as a time-traveler, she had been in contact with the wizarding world for less than four months, and what occupied most of Elena's memory was the three views shaped from the perspective of a Muggle.

Judging by the results, it seems that everything does not have much of an impact.

But Elena knew in her heart that in some subtle and more essential places, she was different from the two old men—perhaps sooner or later, the two sides would go to the opposite side of each other because of this gap in the cornerstone.

"There are some ideas, but they need to be discussed with Mr. Newt Scamander. ”

Unaware of the girl's hidden thoughts, Dumbledore said gently, "The land around Hogwarts is limited after all, and the size of the vegetable garden is already the limit of today's vegetable garden, and it will be a little unseemly to expand it further - if my idea is feasible, it will not only solve the problem of some food production, but also solve the transportation problem by the way." ”

"What do you mean...... Stretch Without a Trace?"

(Details can be found in the reply "Happy New Year")

Elena nodded thoughtfully.

Before the previous life traveled, the first part of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" had just been released, and Newt Scamander's magical suitcase left a deep impression on people, but the seemingly ordinary suitcase was like a space magic weapon in Xianxia. In fact, the Extension Charm is not an exceptionally rare form of magic.

Most wizards' suitcases cast this spell, such as Hogwarts school suitcases and wizarding suitcases sold in Diagon Alley, which come standard with capacity boosts or extensions, and cost anywhere from five to hundreds of gallons.

These spells not only increase the internal dimensions of the object while keeping the external dimensions the same, but they also make the item lighter.

However, an existence similar to Newt Scamander's suitcase is still quite rare———— not only does it provide an exclusive habitat for each magical animal, but each land also has its own natural environment and celestial climate, which is not something that a simple Traceless Stretching Charm can do.

"That's right, though, the casting of spells is strictly regulated, and I'll submit a complete application to the International Magical Association after that, indicating the scope of application, the size and model, and the source of the land for the interior space......"

"Land...... Source?" Elena looked up curiously, "Aren't those spaces magically conjured?"

"Yes, it's not right. ”

Dumbledore shook his head and whispered.

"Let me explain briefly, Professor McGonagall must have told you that magic doesn't create things out of thin air. The Traceless Stretch Charm expands only the size of a fixed space, the equivalent of blowing a balloon a little bigger—but the land, the lake, the wind, the rain, the sun...... In fact, it still comes from the natural environment around us. So, do you understand a little bit?"

Elena thought for a few seconds and nodded slowly.

In other words, the essence of the space stretching spell is actually a form of folding the existing space...... It's not so much about adding new areas, it's actually about cutting and pasting the exterior space...... However, this may require a broader view of spatial change...... Rather than a single area of change ......"

“？？？”

The smile on Dumbledore's face stiffened slightly, as if he hadn't heard Erin's words, and continued with an unchanged expression.

"In short, there is a great deal of magic involved, not only in charms, but also in Transfiguration, alchemy, and even some in herbology and astronomy...... It's not something that a school student can accomplish anymore......"

"Therefore, this matter will be left to me and Albus for the time being, you can give yourself a vacation and rest first. ”

Grindelwald grinned, raised his arm around Dumbledore's shoulder, and said with a smile.

"And as far as we know, Elena, you haven't even had time to unwrap the Christmas presents your friends have given you......, are you?

"Well, it's been a busy day these days, and I really haven't had time to open Christmas presents. But ......"

Elena nodded, a hint of suspicion flashing in her blue eyes, and asked softly.

"Why, you two old men who can't get into the girls' dormitory, know the state of those piles of gifts I put next to my bed?"

Grindelwald: !!

Dumbledore:!!!
