Chapter 643: Preparations Before Departure
Apparition is not forbidden on the shores of Loch Lomond.
With Elena's announcement of the end of the meeting, and the acquiescence of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, the wizards, elves, and Hogwarts house-elves quickly vanished into the chapel.
After quietly waiting for the church to become empty again, Elena turned and looked at the two old men behind her.
"Hogwarts Legal, the Wizarding Revenue Bureau, that's all the external adjustments for the year ahead. β
In the coming years, she didn't plan to make too many social-level changes in the wizarding and non-magical worlds, and the dividends brought by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the change of ownership of Gringotts were too rich, and she needed time to digest these gains.
As she had been emphasizing before, both the Destiny Consortium and Gringotts had to shrink their tentacles a little and fall silent.
Moreover, according to Elena's previous agreement with Dumbledore, in the next year, she will focus more on the school, and reduce her presence in the wizarding and non-magical realms as much as possible.
"No problem, just leave the rest to Kurt and themβno matter how bad it is, and me and Albus. β
Grindelwald stood up, smiled and nodded, and turned to look at Dumbledore with a glint of excitement in his eyes.
"As for Elena, if I'm not mistaken, you're going to the English Quidditch National Team tomorrow for a summer tryout, right? Besides, you're staying at the home of a famous magizoologist in the wizarding world, right?"
Quidditch trials? Staying at the home of a famous Master Fantastic Beast?
Elena blinked in confusion, and quickly remembered what Grindelwald had said.
Shortly after school started last year, Dumbledore promised that if her Hogwarts freshman team won the Quidditch House Cup, she and her team would have the opportunity to experience an official Quidditch team during the summer.
Of course, with the exception of the "Boy Who Won't Die", Harry will need to go back to his uncle's house to refresh his bloodline protection magic.
At the end of the semester, Dumbledore made another promise to the young wizards.
It's just that because she has been enjoying family time with "Grandpa" and "Daddy" on the shores of Loch Lomond during this time, Elena almost forgot for a while that she also helped the original Dark Lord persecution...... Not...... Get you back...... Not...... Regards, Mr. Newt Scamander, by the way the arrangement of the symbolic two laps around the Quidditch pitch.
After all, Newt Scamander was already over ninety years old at this time.
In keeping with the good tradition of respecting the elderly, and the long-standing unity and camaraderie of Hufflepuff House, Elena didn't really want to bully the Fantastic Beast Trainer - besides, in terms of the attributes of both characters, as a half-breed girl, she might be restrained by Newt Scamander in a sense.
It's a pity that Dumbledore has already helped her get everything in order in advance.
Ever since learning that the Fantastic Beasts section of The New Singer was compiled by Elena herself, Newt Scamander has been particularly interested in the first-year Hufflepuff girl.
After receiving Dumbledore's letter, Newt Scamander agreed without hesitation.
Therefore, although she was a little uneasy, Elena still had to choose the arrangement of fate.
As for how to deal with the famous fantastic beast fanatic after arriving in Dorset in a few days, Elena's plan is to temporarily divide into three phases and test them in turn to see what the situation is.
The easiest way to do it is undoubtedly to directly showdown the mixed-race Meiwa bloodline, if you can disguise yourself as a cute and harmless magical creature/wizard Lori's dual identity, then no matter what you say or do, you will probably be forgiven, right?
As for the second plan, as a lover of natural sciences in the non-magical world, supplemented by the perspective of a magical agricultural reformer, try to have some basic academic discussions with Newt Scamander - as far as Elena knows, although Mr. Scamander has several friends in the non-magical world, he does not know much about some biochemical knowledge in the non-magical world.
In this world, as long as you are a member of the natural circle, you will inevitably participate in the process of energy circulation, and the necessary relationship between prey and predator, as a senior zoologist, Newt Scamander, naturally understands this better.
Of course, if the first two options fail, she discovers some necessary knowledge from Newt.
Then Elena doesn't mind showing her strength a little, although the identity of the third generation of the Dark Lord does not have much deterrent power for the time being, but the identity of the "granddaughter" of the original Dark Lord Grindelwald is enough to deter Senior Newt.
However, in Elena's previous game simulation, with Newt Scamander's goofy personality, she may not be able to see through her layers of disguise, especially when she is still carrying Luna Lovegood and Hannah Abbott, two cuties, with only an old wizard over 90 years old, it is impossible to pay attention to too many details with her declining energy.
"The teeth, legs, and shells of hairy soft-shell crabs in the Forbidden Forest...... I think about it, in addition to that, there is also the Mr. Horn sent by the unicorn before, the tail hair of Thestrals, the hair of Mr. Hagrid, and the records of the domestication experiment of the troll......"
Elena wrenched her fingers and thoughtfully took stock of the greeting gifts she was going to bring with her.
Undoubtedly, these first-hand research materials and materials must have been quite tempting for Newt Scamander.
What's more, she also needs to use Newt Scamander's experience to find a way to deal with the serpent that is still sealed in the depths of Hogwarts Castle before school starts - killing the basilisk is not very difficult, but if you want to capture it safely without killing it, then it can be a bit difficult.
"Hmm...... Speaking of which, maybe we should update the equipment by the way?"
Thinking of the basilisk sleeping in the Slytherin chamber, Elena subconsciously touched the metal cross pendant hanging from her chest - since the Gryffindor sword created by the elf craftsmen nearly a thousand years ago can cause fatal injuries to the basilisk, then it makes no sense that after more than a thousand years, the elves will not be able to create some higher-level magic weapons.
Even if there is a phenomenon of forging process discontinuity, there must still be a lot of good things in the underground warehouse of the bank.
If you think about it, as the fairy queen of the Gringotts wizarding bank, she really needs a little bit of small weapons to protect herself.
