"I see. I see what you're thinking. ”

Glancing over the parchment strewn across the bed with numbers and charts, Dumbledore rubbed his forehead a little tiredly and let out a heartfelt sigh.

"Is this the arithmetic divination that Muggles have studied?"

After understanding Elena's plans, the old wizard's face suddenly had a hint of respect, not only for Elena, but also for people in the other world who explored the realm of the gods like wizards.

Just now, Elena woke up for the first time to fully explain the irresistible deduction of the collapse of the ruble and the inherent lack of the Soviet constitution, and the way Hogwarts used the rules to rationally grab huge fortunes in the midst of this.

Apparently only in the Slytherin dormitory on the lower level of Hogwarts Castle, the girl's mind seems to be above the dome, and she whimsically kneades and combines all kinds of seemingly unrelated information.

From the British Isles to the American continent across the ocean, from the calm of 1945 to the dark tide of 1991, from the cogs of precision, they are intertwined like delicate cogs, and they are as determined as prophecies as the great changes that are about to take place—nay, even more terrible than prophecy, as powerless as if a god on top of heaven were moving chess pieces.

From the moment the Golden Galleon was transported into Hogwarts Castle, they didn't need to do anything more. Unlike any previous plans and schemes, this is an event that starts directly with the results, and only needs to wait quietly for time to be liquidated for the follow-up.

"Divination? No, we call it science. Or rather, scientific deduction. ”

Elena shook her head slightly, her voice a little hoarse, and the light in her eyes was exceptionally bright.

The most essential difference between the wizarding world and the non-magical world is not the level of economic system or technological power, but the difference between the two social thinking. There may be an artificial barrier between magic and non-magic, but science and magic were not opposites in the first place.

Ordinary people have a narrower vision than wizards from the beginning, but that doesn't stop them from knowing the world.

Science is the way humans in the non-magical world perceive the world. All the magic that seems incredible is just unexplainable by today's level of technology.

In Elena's view, as long as you can observe, you can study, as long as you can study, you can influence, as long as you can influence, you can dominate and control—no matter what the world, this is a universal basic law.

"But have you ever thought that whether it's science or arithmetic, there will always be accidents, and if they fail? What do you think about the worst-case scenario?"

Dumbledore reached out and carefully put away the manuscript paper scattered on the girl's bed, asking one last question.

This is also the point he is most puzzled about: according to the oath, once Elena does this, it is equivalent to putting Hogwarts in a crisis, and before the final result comes, it will trigger the warning of the unbreakable oath to a certain extent anyway.

"Worst-case scenario? Then just hand over the castle to the elves and find a way to borrow another amount...... From the very beginning, the elves were unable to destroy or damage Hogwarts. ”

Elena stretched and replied nonchalantly.

The girl patted the soft bed under her, lifted the quilt and stepped out of bed, walked to the mirror in front of the window, and said softly in a relaxed tone while arranging her hair.

"Professor Dumbledore, I ask you, when exactly did Hogwarts disappear and the castle no longer belongs to us? Is it because of the changes in the knowledge that we impart? Was it the Ministry of Magic or some other organization that forced the installation of a headmaster or a teacher? Of course not! ”

Elena turned around, her little white toes playfully tugging at the thick and warm wool carpet, her lake-blue eyes looking at the magical lake bottom scenery outside the lounge, and said with a gentle smile.

"Even if Hogwarts were destroyed by the war, the entire castle would be razed to the ground, the Forbidden Forest would no longer exist, and the Great Lake would dry up and turn into a pit. As long as there are enough financial and human resources, Hogwarts can continue to pass on knowledge. Even if the wizarding world disappears, Hogwarts will never disappear as long as human civilization still exists. ”

"Besides, if we really can't afford to pay back, the goblins are the ones who are most anxious. In order to prevent this loan from becoming a bad debt, they will do whatever it takes to help Hogwarts continue in the long term - mortgaging Hogwarts to obtain a loan is never a means, not an end. ”

Elena winked playfully and said with a smug expression.

"Well, Professor Dumbledore, don't you feel like I'm amazing! There's a Muggle word you can learn about, it's called lying to win, and it's a good way to describe the current situation. ”

The silver-haired little Lori happily raised her fingers and shook them, revealing a pair of cute little tiger teeth, and her delicate little face seemed to be full of expressions of "Come and praise me! Come and praise me!".

"It's a surprisingly genius idea indeed. I don't have any doubts about this anymore, and we'll do our best to match your ideas in the future. ”

Dumbledore clapped softly, nodded approvingly, and whispered with a smile, "Next, I think there are other small issues to discuss......

The old wizard glanced at Elena, whose tail was about to reach the sky, and his voice became more and more kind.

"—Regarding the removal of Hogwarts title deeds from the Headmaster's office without permission, and the signing of important contracts under the guise of being authorized by the Headmaster. ”

"Huh?!"

Elena's little face full of happiness stiffened slightly, and an uncombed silver hair on the top of her head suddenly bounced, why did the atmosphere seem to be something wrong?

"By the way, what time is it, I haven't sent a letter to Papa Benitez to say he's safe, he must be in a hurry. ”

The silver-haired little Lori hammered her palm anxiously, stepped on her small leather shoes, and ran to the door of the Slytherin common room as she muttered loudly to herself.

Looking at Elena, who suddenly became flustered, a smile appeared in Dumbledore's eyes, and he slowly pulled out his wand from his long sleeve and gently pointed it forward.

(→‿→)つ—☆......【Tongtong Petrochemical】

Elena felt stiff, and before she could fall to the ground, she flew into the air and landed on the soft bed in the dormitory.

"Professor Dumbledore, you actually cast a spell on a child who has not gone to school! I must report you to the Ministry of Magic! You are such a powerful wizard, you actually torture a child with magic, what is your conscience?!"

Sensing the approaching danger, the silver-haired little Lori, who was petrified all over, denounced loudly, and let out a purring sound like a kitten, she had a sense of foreboding.

"I'm sorry, please be considerate of an old man with leg problems cheating a little. Next, I won't cast any more spells. ”

In Elena's afterglow, the silver-haired and long-bearded Dumbledore put away his wand and slowly walked to her side, smiling and speaking slowly.

According to Mr. Benitez, there is a primitive way of Muggle education that is often more effective in helping bear children like Miss Elena realize their mistakes. ”

As he spoke, Dumbledore rolled up the sleeves of his left and right arms, sat on the edge of the bed, and picked up Elena and placed it across his knees.

"Wait...... Wait......"

Watching Dumbledore roll up his sleeves and raise his arms high, the silver-haired little Lori instantly realized the fate that was coming, and shook her head and struggled hard.

"Help, murder, Dumbledore has become a dark wizard......"

Syllable!

"Ahh

Tuk, tuk, tuk......

At that moment, there was a rhythmic knock on the doors of the dormitory and lounge, and the voice of Burleigh, the house-elf, drifted in from outside.

"Professor Dumbledore, I've brought Mr. Benitez to the door. ”

Before it could finish, the door to the dorm room was slammed open by Benitez.

"Elena, are you alright?" the man rushed in with an anxious face, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the scene in front of him, and asked with some hesitation, "Well, Professor Dumbledore, who are you?"

"Daddy save me, save me!"

Finally waited for the savior, the silver-haired little Lori was so excited that she was about to cry, and the old wizard's skinny palm was super painful!

"I have just learned, Miss Elena, that she mortgaged the school this morning. ”

Dumbledore looked up and explained in a calm tone, as if something unusual had happened.

"Mortgaged the school before school started?!"

Benitez felt his head grow for a while, and he finally knew what the big thing was in Elena's heart.

"I see, now give Elena to me. ”

After a few seconds of silence, Benitez nodded, and before the smile on the girl's face could rise, he added in a deep voice.

"I have a lot of strength, and it's easier for her to remember when I beat her. ”

Hey?!

Elena's eyes widened for a moment, the script shouldn't be like this, she is a hero!

"Wait, I'm all for the good of the school, I haven't embezzled a penny......"

Syllable!

"Let me go, I know my mistake, I promise not to ...... next time"

Syllable!

"Professor Dumbledore, you swore to protect my ......"

Syllable!

"Woo woo, woo woo...... You bully!"

Bang! Bang......

————

It's still a 3,000-word chapter, asking for recommendation votes.

I wanted to fast-forward and get on the train directly, but after thinking about it, I still put it in chapter 41. Because on the one hand, it is necessary to explain the Gringotts-Ruble plan, and in general, as long as the goblins keep their promises, it is only a small profit and not a loss.

On the other hand, bear children must still be educated, even if the result is good, they should be beaten or beaten.

I'm going to eat, and then I'm trying to get one more chapter out today...... Save, save?

The reserve grain actually didn't come to help when watching the play, but it was still eaten.
