"First and foremost, I want you to keep my half-breed identity a secret. ”

Elena cocked her index finger and looked at Dumbledore solemnly, her tone extremely serious.

As for the specific origin of wizards, it is too ancient to be verified. The concept of magic has been around since the beginning of human activity, but it is not clear when humans began to try to learn and master this supernatural power.

Ignoring the mystical Oriental legends, the earliest record of magic in history is roughly 2600 BC with the pharaohs of Egypt and their magicians. If you don't consider ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon, the oldest record in the wizarding world, that is, the Ollivander family claimed to have started making wands in 382 BC.

Although Elena has always been particularly skeptical of this, because it always reminds her of the old shops that were all over the streets and alleys in her previous life, which were often claimed to be thousands of years old.

The non-magical world in Europe did not begin to document signs of magic until 4 BC, after the coming of Jesus. As for the British region, it was not until around 500 A.D. that the first legendary wizard who can be traced back - Merlin.

But in any case, many years before the establishment of human civilization, those magical creatures already existed. To be precise, if a human wizard is also reduced to a kind of magical creature, in fact, the magic power of humans is not too strong.

You know, house-elves such as can manipulate strong magic without a wand, and they are relatively weak among magical beasts. Once a human wizard is separated from the "magic amplifier" of the wand, his strength will be greatly reduced, and the core of the wand will invariably come from a part of the body of the magical beast.

It turns out that most half-blood wizards are indeed much more powerful than normal wizards, for example, Hagrid's incredible magic resistance and strange powers come from his giant mother, and Fleur's superb magical talent is also very much related to her beautiful grandmother.

However, humanity's attitude towards half-blood wizards (in this case, half-magical creatures) has always been awkward: fear, rejection, distrust, and vague envy...... It can be seen from the original book that both Fleur and Hagrid are excluded from the young wizards of the same age.

Elena didn't want to be pointed at every day when she went to school like a zoo animal—that kind of treatment could be enjoyed by the great "boy who never died" alone.

"I'd rather not eat if that's not guaranteed...... Hmm......" The silver-haired little Lori seemed to bite her tongue by accident, let out a whimper, and said vaguely, "I'd rather never learn magic...... I won't come to this place to go to school. ”

"On that note, I can assure you that no one in the school will know your identity except for me and Professor McGonagall. Actually, before that, there were many students like you at Hogwarts, so you don't have to worry. ”

Dumbledore nodded, and agreed without hesitation.

He had expected the girl to make some strange and harsh demands. Hiding the identity of the mixed-race girl, even if Elena didn't mention it, he would take the initiative to remind her not to reveal her bloodline.

In fact, if it weren't for Elena's constant desire to dissociate herself from the wizarding world, Dumbledore hadn't even intended to tell Elena about the half-breed baby in the first place.

"And what? I remember you said 'some,' right?"

Dumbledore smiled lightly, compared to Riddle, who was more thoughtful than ten years ago, it was obvious that Elena was more simple and simple. Aside from being a little willful, Elena actually prefers to share her emotions and thoughts with others, and as for the greedy nature of children, Dumbledore doesn't matter at all.

"In addition to that, there is a simple little request that may be a little more troublesome. But if it's Professor Dumbledore, you're just a gesture. ”

Elena blinked, gestured with her left thumb and forefinger, and raised a second finger with her right hand.

"If I can, I hope to be able to go to the United States as an exchange student in the fourth or fifth grade at the latest. ”

"Hmm...... Going to the U.S. as an exchange student?"

Dumbledore had a thoughtful look in his eyes, shook his eyebrows slightly, and said slowly after a few seconds of silence.

"Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? This can be a bit difficult, and generally speaking, there are very few exchange students between magic schools......

"No, I'm not talking about a school of magic. ”

Elena shook her head and smiled, "I'm talking about Harvard University, a Muggle-founded school. As far as I know, the Ministry of Magic has always had close ties with the non-magical world in Britain. If it were Professor Dumbledore's request, the British Prime Minister would have agreed. ”

"A Muggle school?!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Dumbledore's blue eyes, and he frowned and looked at the little girl in front of him in confusion, as if trying to confirm from the look on her face that it was just a joke.

Elena restrained her smile, raised her head, met Dumbledore's gaze, and replied with extra seriousness.

"Yes, as I've said before, the non-magical world has a lot of potential, so someone has to know and learn about it. It seems to me that in the next decade or so, it will most likely be the place where non-magical knowledge will emerge the most. ”

This is also the compromise that the girl finally came up with after thinking about it again. After all, according to the future plot timeline, since the fourth grade Goblet of Fire, it is obvious that Britain has become a place that is not very stable, and she is not interested in fighting some schizophrenic noseless monster to the death.

At the same time, since 1995, the Muggle world can be said to have officially ushered in the great wave of the Internet age, and almost all the Internet companies that have swept the world have risen in this decade. This is also the largest capital reshuffle in the modern history of human civilization, the opening of the virtual world and the existence of the information explosion, so that the word civilization has truly begun to break away from the shackles of geography and nationality.

Dumbledore did not speak, falling into a strange silence before he spoke, breaking the silence.

"Is it very important?"

"Very important! It's about the future coexistence of our magical and non-magical worlds, and this may be the last wave of chances for the two sides to be equal, or even for the wizarding world to be in an absolute advantage. ”

Now that she understood the connection between herself and the wizarding world, Elena, who was born to be a half-magical creature, naturally began to use the word "we" - after all, if the wizarding world was completely exposed after a dozen years, she didn't want to be a poor outlier in hiding.

"I see, I need to think a little more about that. It's too early for the fourth grade......"

Dumbledore had always had this idea of learning about the Muggle world, but in doing so, it was equivalent to betting on a wizard's magical potential in exchange for some unknown knowledge.

"What if I could finish most of Hogwarts ahead of schedule? ”

Seeing that Dumbledore seemed to be a little loose, the silver-haired little Lori's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stood up and said. Originally, she just said it with the mentality of giving it a try this time, and she had even thought about the long-term combat preparation of going to the principal's office every day to drink tea and chat after entering the school.

Glancing at Elena, who was full of confidence, Dumbledore couldn't help but smile dumbly, reached out and rubbed the girl's long silver hair on the top of her head, and shook his head with a smile.

"Hogwarts classes aren't as easy as you think. Well, if you can get the first grade in the whole school in all subjects every year, I'll help you go to Fudge, well, the Minister of Magic, to discuss the matter. ”

Professor Dumbledore, you're not the kind of person to break your word. ”

Elena reached out her little hand and pressed Dumbledore's right hand that was rubbing it above her head, her eyes narrowing into a thin line with pleasure. Dumbledore didn't know anything about the power of the occult overlords from the East, you must know that every student who can pass the [College Entrance Examination] copy of the Purgatory difficulty is at least comparable to the existence of "Miss Jack-of-all-trades" Hermione Granger.

Not to mention......

From an angle that Dumbledore couldn't see, a hint of cunning flashed in the eyes of the silver-haired little Lori.

Not to mention being the first in the school every year, if her conjecture is true, she can even become the No.1 in the entire history of Hogwarts forever.

"That's all there is to it, right? As an older person, I can't remember too many requests. ”

After these conversations, Dumbledore's relationship with Elena became noticeably closer. The old man knocked on the head of the silver-haired little Lori lightly, and said in a half-joking tone.

"If I had to say, there's one more point. Well, think of it as compensation for kidnapping me to Hogwarts. But it's about Professor McGonagall. ”

Elena bit her finger and tilted her little head to think about it.

"What? If it involves Professor McGonagall, I can't guarantee it. Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and replied with his hands spread.

"It's very simple...... When I read the admission roster, can I put my name (Alina· Kaslana) is number one?"

Although she seemed to use a casual and cute tone, Elena was actually extremely nervous, and her eyes looked carefully at Dumbledore's expression.

There are all kinds of science fiction speculations about the crossing and the change of the worldline in the past life, and even in the Harry Potter series of stories, there will be props such as time regressors that may cause paradoxes.

And this time, it was Elena's small attempt to change the known world line, and she wanted to see if the legendary world inertia restraint really existed, and whether the so-called [Iron-Beaten Hannah Abbott] would really change because of her existence.

"That's all? That's fine. ”

Dumbledore waited for a few seconds, and when he realized that Elena had no intention of continuing, he couldn't help but ask in surprise. It wasn't a decent request to him.

"Well, that's all. The silver-haired little Lori smiled and nodded—as long as it could be confirmed that there was no so-called world restraint, it would be enough.

It seems to be getting more and more interesting.
