Chapter 362: There's Nothing to Worry About (Thanks to the Alliance Leader of "Cool Watermelon")
Needless to say, Dumbledore was still quite influential in the wizarding world.
His unfathomable magical attainments, his status as the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and his glorious history of defeating two generations of Dark Lords in a row have made Dumbledore almost reach the pinnacle of what a person can achieve in society.
The fame, fortune, wealth, and sex that most people pursue have almost no attraction for Dumbledore.
Therefore, according to Elena's original idea, she did not want Dumbledore to participate in the compilation of "Age of Magic", she just wanted Dumbledore to express his position in public a little, and casually support and affirm the work they have done, so that she can increase the influence of some magazines in a fake way.
After all, Dumbledore's attitude still carries a lot of weight in the wizarding world, and Elena is also very aware that the things she has done are also in line with the old wizard's lifelong philosophy to some extent, although there may be some exaggeration and other purposes, but in fact, if the "Age of Magic" is really established, it is not a bad thing for the wizarding world.
Dumbledore's attitude was a pure surprise, who knew that this salted fish headmaster, who didn't do anything every day, would suddenly become interested in Elena, the "Hogwarts calendar" that was obviously forcibly concocted.
However, since Dumbledore offered to participate in the process of compiling the history of magic, it was naturally a good thing. Not to mention the rows of portraits of the previous headmasters in the Hogwarts Headmaster's office, even if it is only Dumbledore himself, it is a living fossil throughout the history of modern magic.
As the saying goes, she, Hermione, and Hannah alone can only be counted as one person, and if you want to truly compile a new era of magic with no loopholes and logical rigor, you still need some respected wizarding authorities to participate in the process - and now, this lie seems to have a fifty percent hope that it can be turned into a true one.
Sure enough, it's still a good name......
Elena felt a little that if the name "Pieves Calendar" had been chosen, Dumbledore might not have taken the initiative to join the revision and supplementation work as he did now.
In fact, what Elena didn't know was that the older people were, the more interested they were in reorganizing history, and if it weren't for the fact that there were so many secrets that he couldn't tell others, Dumbledore would have wanted to write a memoir - even so, Dumbledore managed to find a meditation basin to record and review his memories at any time.
"Albus, this doesn't look like your style. ”
Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore and grinned, "I have the impression that you have always been as far away as you can in the face of such troublesome things. ”
"It's not the same. These children are still too young. ”
Dumbledore shook his head, glanced at the magazine in his hand, and looked up at Elena in front of him and asked.
"If I'm right, the next few articles signed by Miss Granger and Miss Abbott should have been summarized and sorted out by you in combination with the books in the school library, right?"
"Hmm. Elena nodded.
"We compared the records of many books in the library, and selected the most reliable historical materials for this initial collation and compilation - there should be no errors or omissions. ”
As one of the most knowledgeable wizards in the wizarding world today, Dumbledore lived in Hogwarts Castle for almost his entire life, and was no less than a moving humanoid magical library, and the three of them also had some stilted excerpts and rewrites of documents that could not hide from the old wizard's eyes.
"A clever approach, but just based on the literature in the library, it is still a bit one-sided. ”
Dumbledore nodded appreciatively, then his face turned grim and he said solemnly.
"You know, even the most basic spell books will inevitably be differentiated by the author's personal factors, and this is especially true of purely historical records. If there is any deviation in the historical record in the future due to this reason, we old guys are responsible, and you need some more professional and objective guidance......"
Extraordinarily ...... More professional, objective guidance?!
Elena's heart jumped and she looked at Dumbledore in confusion.
"So, Professor Dumbledore, you mean ......"
"Professor Binns," Dumbledore said in an irrefutable tone, "I think your ideas are very constructive, and I will do my best to help you clear up and remove the doubts and reproaches that may arise in the wizarding world." At the same time, I will personally communicate with Professor Binns about organizing historical documents, so that he can help you in his spare time......"
"Wait, wait!"
The little hair on Elena's head suddenly stirred, and she quickly interrupted.
"Professor Binns is so old, might we not be able to trouble him?"
"It doesn't matter, since it's a job related to the history of magic, Professor Binns won't refuse. ”
"However, the job is low-level, tedious and boring......"
"The ghosts of Hogwarts don't get tired, and Professor Binns is no exception. ”
"But ......"
"Okay, that's it for now. Rest assured, aside from class time, as long as you're in Hogwarts Castle, Professor Binns can participate in your process of organizing the new Wizarding Era at any time and from any place, even if it's twelve o'clock at midnight - the specifics are completely up to you, and the degree of freedom is still high. ”
Dumbledore raised his palm, interrupting Elena's continued struggle, both in tone and in the way he looked, making it clear that there was no further discussion in this matter.
After being reminded by Elena, Dumbledore suddenly realized something he had been ignoring before.
In Hogwarts Castle, there seems to be a special professor who can give him the task of teaching Elena with more peace of mind - the ghost professor in charge of the history of magic, Professor Binns.
It has to be said that these days have proved that whether it is the strict Professor McGonagall, the cold Professor Snape, the enthusiastic Professor Sprout, the gracious Professor Flitwick, or the capable Mrs. Hooch, all faculty members will be affected to a certain extent when facing Elena.
But if it's an emotional, tireless ghost professor like Professor Binns, it's different.
As long as Elena is still a mortal in the flesh, then she will definitely be at a disadvantage to a certain extent - she has never found a good opportunity before, but the idea of the girl wanting to revise the history of magic is undoubtedly a golden opportunity.
Finally, I found a "person" who could watch this little guy.
A smile unconsciously appeared on Dumbledore's face, he felt that the big stone that had been pressing on his heart for the past few days had finally moved, and his heart was more relaxed than ever - similar to a pure literary and historical discipline like the history of magic, no matter how much Elena did things, it would eventually need to be passed on with the help of adult wizards like him and Grindelwald, and what could there be to worry about when it was just printed on paper?
