Chapter 378 The Real and False Dumbledore (Part 1) (Please Vote for Me!)

"Well, now that we're talking about owls, there are some things that I may need to explain a little bit more."

Dumbledore suddenly coughed slightly, interrupting Elena's words.

"First I need to apologize to you, Mr. Lovegood."

Glancing at Xenophilius Lovegood in front of him, Dumbledore nodded and said slightly apologetically.

"It is true that it is a pleasure to see you again at Hogwarts after graduation. However, I do not hope that you have to return to Hogwarts for some unpleasant reason. Here. I have to admit that due to some of my negligence, in the past half month, you may have suffered some..."

As he spoke, Dumbledore glanced at Elena beside him, as if looking for an appropriate adjective.

After a slight pause for a few seconds, Dumbledore continued with a strange expression.

"Some, um... not so friendly hints or threats. So, I have to state in advance that I have never given Miss Elena Kaslana any authority to exercise the rights of the Hogwarts Principal on my behalf. If If I need to communicate with you about anything, I will definitely write to you personally instead of letting someone else write it for me."

After finishing speaking, the old man showed a hint of helpless exhaustion on his face and sighed involuntarily.

Dumbledore had to admit that, just like Elena Kaslana's usual behavior, many of the troublesome little Veela's mixed-blood behaviors were difficult to restrain and punish using conventional procedures.

After all, strictly speaking, she was just an owl messenger who forcibly detained others.

Judging from the results, she neither asked for money, nor did she do any substantial bad things. She just wanted to publish a "History of Magic" document that she compiled and summarized - this is like a non-magical world. , kidnapped the pet dog of the editor-in-chief of Nature magazine and demanded that an SCI-level paper be published.

Let alone defining it as a crime of kidnapping, even if you want to label it as a crime of extortion, it is relatively difficult.

silence.

The expression on Xenophilius's face was slightly stunned, and his eyes quickly wandered back and forth between Dumbledore and Elena.

During this time, he never expected that Albus Dumbledore would take the initiative to apologize to him.

Especially judging from the current situation, it seems that this is just a prank by a first-year girl at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore can completely shirk the responsibility.

"I've read about The Quibbler, which you founded. It's a very interesting publication."

Dumbledore smiled slightly and continued gently, with a particularly sincere tone.

"Although I have certain reservations about some of its contents. But the unique perspective on issues expressed in this publication is what I appreciate very much - as a publication that was founded less than ten years ago I think this is a great achievement for a young publication.”

What a deceitful old guy, he can even say things that go against his will.

Elena curled her lips. This old potato was indeed an old devil with a lot of acting talent. With such a skilled chicken soup tone and demeanor, if she hadn't paid the deposit in advance, she almost thought she was the real Dumbledore next to her. .

If she remembered correctly, not long ago, Grindelwald unceremoniously defined "The Quibbler" as a collection of funny stories full of nonsense, with no other purpose than to make people laugh. value.

But obviously, the simple Mr. Lovegood obviously listened to "Dumbledore's" evaluation.

"Professor? Thank you." Xenophilius' lips trembled and he said softly.

"We will discuss this magazine and the Magic Era in detail later. As for now..."

Dumbledore suppressed his smile, turned his head to look at Elena, and said calmly.

"I remember what I said before, Miss Kaslana. At Hogwarts, threats, blackmail, kidnapping, and deception are not allowed or recognized. Although you can avoid the rules and laws, It doesn't mean... In short, I hope you can apologize to Mr. Lovegood and get their understanding as you promised before."

This old potato is too involved in the drama, right?

Elena's mouth twitched, and she looked at the serious "Albus Dumbledore" with an expression as if she was constipated. There is no doubt that Gellert Grindelwald, the old devil with a bad personality, is taking advantage of the opportunity again. Taking advantage of her.

"Ahem, it's getting late, why don't we go to the castle first..."

Elena kicked the "fake Dumbledore" calmly, gave the old wizard a deep look with a warning look, an awkward yet polite smile on her face, and whispered to the "actor" Pay attention to the time flow.

The longer the four of them stay at the gate of Hogwarts Castle, the greater the possibility of gangs and accidents.

Whether it was a student who happened to open the window and looked down, or Filch who happened to be passing by, they were all uncertain factors that could cause the plan to abort - and the most critical thing was that the first period was almost here.

"Apologise first, Miss Kaslana."

Dumbledore looked at Elena unmoved, his blue eyes showing no trace of joking.

"I know, maybe for you, this is not a big mistake. But in Hogwarts, mistakes are mistakes, no matter how big or small. And don't forget, this is your own promise before."

"..."

Elena frowned, glanced at Grindelwald, who was addicted to "role playing", and then looked at the Lovegood family in front of her, curling her lips helplessly - write this down in advance, later Say it again.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lovegood."

Elena turned around, looked at Xenophilius Lovegood, and said dejectedly.

"I'm very sorry that I lied to you in my previous correspondence. I hope you can forgive me for these childish behaviors. In fact, at the beginning, I just hoped to have a more equal communication with you. In addition, Thank you so much for allowing my article to appear in the magazine.”

Now that she has decided to admit her mistake and apologize, Elena is too lazy to play any more scheming and clichés. She has already reached this point, and it is not a shame to admit her mistakes openly.

"Nothing, your article is very interesting." Xenophilius waved his hand and said with a smile.

Then, Elena turned her face sideways, looked at Luna Wings Lovegood in front of her, and said seriously.

"Miss Lovegood, I'm sorry for causing you so much worry these days. I will send your little owl to you in a moment. If you still feel uneasy, I can hand over my reserve owl. I’ll give it to you and lock it up in your house for half a month as atonement and compensation.”

"Huh? No, no need, it's so fierce..."

Luna was stunned for a moment, recalling the little owl, subconsciously twirling her fingers, sticking out her tongue and whispering.

"Ferocious?" Elena blinked and asked a little strangely, "Well, what happened before?"
