Chapter 425: Thoughts and Holidays (Ask for Subscription!Ask for Monthly Pass!)

Facts have proved that there is indeed a talent for such a thing as recognizing the way.

At least Luna Lovegood is obviously more than a little better than Elena in this regard.

After passing through the familiar staircases and corridors, in a few minutes, Elena and Luna were already in front of the grand staircase on the sixth floor of the castle that led to the Ravenclaw common room.

"Here we are, Sister Elena. Luna stopped, turned around and said calmly.

"Oh, that's so close...... I always thought I would have to walk for a long time. ”

Elena looked up at the stairs in front of her and sighed, the embarrassment on the white-haired danzi's face had long since disappeared, and it turned into a broken jar and a broken look of indifference Anyway, it is not a big deal to lose face in front of her own little wings.

Thanks to the interesting trivia of "Chickens and Rabbits in the Same Cage" published in "New Singing and Contrarian Tunes", the Ravenclaw common room finally arrived once, and the poor figure sleeping in a sky blue sleeping bag was finally no longer in the corridor on the sixth floor this morning.

Up the grand staircase is a small semicircular platform, directly opposite which is an old, shiny wooden plank with an eagle-shaped bronze knocker on which the young wizards of Ravenclaw usually answer questions.

However, the place where Elena and Luna are going to watch the sunrise is not the common room of Ravenclaw College.

Extending to the right from the platform directly in front of the Bronze Eagle Ring is a small terrace that protrudes outward.

The terrace is decorated with blue and bronze silks, and verdant vines wrap around the edge of the terrace to weave a safety fence, and there is a thin net of thicker branches below to prevent students from accidentally falling.

Standing on the small terrace of this castle and looking out, you can clearly see the beautiful scenery outside Hogwarts Castle.

On the Quidditch field, where flags are held high and flutter in the morning breeze, golden goalposts look like they look like they are in the thin mist. The blue water of the lake is surging gently and lazily, as if taking a nap, and with the white clouds floating leisurely in the blue sky, it is a comfortable scene.

Farther away, you can see the lush greenery of the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest, with tall trees topped with patches of green, obscuring curious eyes and making them look a little mysterious...... It spreads outward along the green of the Forbidden Forest, eventually connecting to the outline of a distant hill.

A gentle breeze blows, the morning sun slowly rises from the horizon at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and the golden sunlight shines through the morning mist onto Hogwarts Castle, falling on the faces, hair, and bodies of Elena and Luna, creating a beautiful still scene.

After the two quietly looked at the early morning scenery for a while, Elena turned her head slightly, looked at the little fairy full of ethereal aura beside her, thought about it and took the initiative to break the silence and asked.

"Homesick, Luna?"

"One thing, after all, if Dad was home alone, he might not have eaten breakfast on time. ”

Luna nodded, staring at the lake in the distance without focus, and replied softly, "Although I arrived at Hogwarts a year earlier than he expected, Dad should be able to adjust quickly." I'm just worried about whether my dad can be busy alone after the revision of "Singing and Singing......"

The expression on Elena's face froze, and she couldn't wait to swallow back what she had just said, knowing that she was not the culprit who prompted Luna to enroll in school early and the revision of "Singing Contrarian".

"But these days, I've figured it out!"

Luna stretched out her finger and curiously touched the flower bones on the vines on the terrace, and said in a brisk tone, "I'm going to come to Hogwarts sooner or later anyway, and I'll graduate a year earlier if I start school a year earlier...... What's more, now I can help my dad with more work pressure than before. ”

After a slight pause, Luna turned her head and looked at Elena with her misty silver-gray eyes.

"And what about you, Sister Elena, you also have something on your mind, right?"

Although Elena hid this very well, even Dumbledore and Grindelwald did not notice the faint worry that the girl had always had, but she still couldn't stand a player like Luna, who was completely intuitive.

When you are undecided, you should first be inspired and then follow your feelings, which is the tradition of the Lovegood family.

"Well, there were. ”

Facing Luna's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, Elena hesitated for a moment, nodded and acknowledged.

"If nothing else, this may be the last comfort period for wizards, and in less than a decade, the social model of the entire human world will change dramatically. Under the inevitable torrent of civilization, the role and influence that individuals can play will become less and less. ”

Elena wasn't talking in obscurity, maybe the old turnip and the old potato could understand some of her feelings, but she wasn't sure how much Luna Lovegood could understand at this point.

For Elena, what really makes her anxious is not the challenges that have been spoiled by Aunt Rowling.

But those that happened after the end of the Harry Potter seven-part series, the future direction of the wizarding world that was not written in the original book, and the most important part After entering the era of information explosion, the network information system covering the whole world will soon rewrite the entire world pattern.

You know, as the traditional wizarding family fears, as the number of Muggle-born/Muggle-born wizards in the wizarding world gradually increases, once the barrier between the two worlds is broken, the situation will definitely not be the ideal "wizarding camp vs. Muggle camp".

In any case, if family, love, social ethics, and even wealth and power continue to progress at the current rate of development in the wizarding world, when that day really comes, there will not be a few wizards who choose to stand on the non-magical side and become "heroes" who enjoy the support of more people.

And at that time, the future of Hogwarts will be completely controlled by other people's thoughts.

There was a brief silence between the two of them again, and it was only after a long time that Luna spoke softly in her characteristic trance voice, in a tone that seemed to be singing.

"I don't really understand, but that's for later, and we still have a lot of time now, right? and...... According to Sister Elena, at least for now, the amount of energy that everyone can exert is quite huge. ”

"That's right. Elena nodded, at this point in time, the wizard obviously still had a certain advantage.

In fact, until the end of the Cold War, the entire human world's knowledge system was still clearly divided into two sections, just like Hogwarts and Ilvermorny today.

Perhaps in some basic contents, the two are similar, but the higher the two levels, the more obvious the differences and estrangement between the two sides: language, symbols, gestures, ways of thinking, and research purposes...... This distinction can even manifest itself in any unexpected small place, and continue until one day is eaten by the other.

Therefore, in this case, it will be relatively easy for the wizarding world to interfere and influence the non-magical world.

It's like the Ministry of Magic today can still communicate directly with the British Prime Minister to convey some important matters that happen in the wizarding world, and seek some necessary cooperation, of course, in most cases only to help keep secrets.

However, with the gradual change of electronic technology and social functions, the structure of information flow will make these seemingly simple tasks complicated, and even the prime minister of a country will need to explain many strange problems to the security services.

For example, why a private meeting with a stranger in the middle of the night, or why there is a gap in electronic surveillance, or why there is a security guard with flawed political audits......

But now that the tail of the Cold War has not fallen, it is relatively easy to exert influence on the non-magical world, and if it is not possible, it is possible to sacrifice the Oblivion Charm "Read the Files" and start over, which is not a psychological burden for wizards.

"Isn't that good, Sister Elena, what are you worried about?" Luna Lovegood's voice fluttered through the morning light on the terrace of the Hogwarts Tower, like the fog around the castle.

"My mom used to tell me that whether it's dwelling on an unchangeable past or worrying about a future that hasn't happened yet, it's the most stupid thing to do, except to add to your worries and waste your time. Knowing what you're doing now and what you're going to do, and not hesitatingly sticking to it, is the real wisdom to do. ”

"Wisdom and responsibility, it's not the same thing. ”

Elena shook her head slightly, frowned subconsciously, and turned her head to look at Luna, "Mom, Lady Lovegood?"

Pandora Lovegood, the mother of Luna's little angel, if Elena remembers correctly, the witch who only exists in written memories died when Luna was nine years old, and this year, Luna has just turned ten......

So these days, she has been deliberately avoiding this question, afraid of accidentally poking little Luna's wound.

However, what Elena didn't expect was that Luna Lovegood accidentally took the initiative to mention her mother, which made her suddenly unsure of how to answer, after all, it seemed that it was not appropriate to say anything in this situation.

"To be precise...... Mom said it when she died!"

Suddenly coming back to her senses, Luna's bright eyes darkened, and she said with some sadness.

"Mom, she's a great witch and has invented a lot of interesting spells, but last summer she had a problem with one of her spells, and before Dad and I could react, she ......"

"I'm sorry. Elena whispered.

"It's okay, Sister Elena, though it did ...... It's really brutal. ”

Luna shook her head slightly, looking up at Elena with those foggy, slightly protruding eyes.

"Sometimes I still feel bad about it, but luckily, I still have my dad. And that doesn't mean Mom is completely gone from this world, does it?"

"I want to say that while I don't understand what you're worried about, Sister Elena, you're definitely not alone, Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Otto, Mr. Filch, Hermione, Hannah, and me...... Even if there are really troublesome problems in the future, we can help you. ”

"Well, maybe......" said Elena, somewhat uncertain.

When the two ideas clashed, she doubted her ability to convince the two old men.

In particular, when the continuation of Hogwarts is no longer a bond that binds the common interests of both parties, then what can be used to restrain Elena, who is no longer an ordinary girl.

"Not perhaps, but definitely. ”

Luna's whole body turned around, obviously a few months younger than Elena, but the serious expression on her face at this time looked like the sister of the white-haired ball, and she said seriously in an extremely determined tone.

"Trust your friends around you, they may not be able to do anything earth-shattering, but they will make up a lot of mundane, almost negligible but essential details This is your welcome message from Hufflepuff House, and I think it makes a lot of sense. Do you feel that you've thought too much about things you shouldn't be worried about, and now it's already good?"

This stupid wing, obviously doesn't understand anything.

Elena shook her head amusefully, and was about to retort a few words, when her eyes touched Luna's serious eyes, and the words that were about to slide to her lips suddenly swallowed, and the two looked at each other in silence like two vindictive fat chickens.

Luna had a stubborn smile on her face, even if she didn't know that what Elena was carrying was an important plan that would affect hundreds of millions, billions, and even two worlds in the next few months.

However, in the face of Luna's questioning that the donkey's head is not in the horse's mouth, Elena didn't know what to say or how to think. Maybe...... Should she give herself a little time off, and also a day off at Hogwarts?

Thinking about it carefully, it has only been more than three weeks since the start of school, and she has already tossed too many big things.

Then for the next week, I will focus on the school and "New Singers" for the time being, without her troubles, Hogwarts will definitely calm down for a while and return to that kind of peaceful class time.

"Hmm, okay...... Well, I'm not going to think about it that much yet. From this week onwards, concentrate on studying hard and cooking well. The average first-year student, the Hogwarts chef and the editor-in-chief of the magazine are ready. ”

In the end, even Elena herself involuntarily stuck out her tongue secretly, and before she knew it, the titles and jobs she couldn't put down turned out to be such a long list?

Elena stood up and stretched comfortably in the golden sunrise.

After Luna's enlightenment, the heavy anxiety that was originally pressing on Elena's heart seemed to be alleviated a lot.

"Let's go, Luna, it's almost time, I should go to the kitchen to oversee them finish their breakfast for the day. ”

One last glance at the sparkling lake outside the castle, where several large fat herring fish jumped from the surface of the lake, as if to herald a hopeful and energetic future...... Well, I'm a little hungry all of a sudden.

boom
