Chapter 643 Preparations Before Leaving
Apparition is not prohibited on the shores of Loch Lomond.
As Elena announced the end of the meeting, and Dumbledore and Grindelwald acquiesced, the figures of wizards, goblins, and house elves in Hogwarts quickly disappeared into shadows. In the chapel.
After waiting quietly for the church to become empty again, Elena turned around and looked at the two old men behind her.
"Hogwarts Legal Department, Wizarding Taxation Office, these are all the external adjustments for the next year."
In the coming time, she does not plan to make too many social-level changes in the magical and non-magical circles. The dividends brought by the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the change of ownership of Gringotts are too rich. She needs time to These harvests digest and settle.
As she had always emphasized before, both the Destiny Consortium and Gringotts should shrink their tentacles slightly and take a moment of silence.
Moreover, according to Elena's previous agreement with Dumbledore, in the next year, she will focus more on school and reduce her presence in the magical and non-magical world as much as possible.
"No problem, just leave these next things to Kurt and the others - if not, Albus and I will be there too."
Grindelwald stood up, nodded with a smile, and turned to look at Dumbledore, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"As for Elena, if I remember correctly, tomorrow you will go to the British Quidditch national team to participate in the summer trial, right? Moreover, you live in the house of a famous magical zoologist in the wizarding world. Home’s home, right?”
Quidditch tryouts? Staying at the home of the famous Master of Fantastic Beasts?
Elena blinked in confusion, and then quickly recalled what Grindelwald said.
Not long after school started last year, Dumbledore promised that if the Hogwarts freshman team she formed won the Quidditch Academy Cup, then she and her players would be able to go to the official Quidditch team during the summer. Opportunity to experience.
Of course, except for the "Boy Who Lived", Harry needs to go back to his uncle's house to refresh his blood protection magic.
At the end of the semester, Dumbledore made another promise to the little wizards.
However, since she had been enjoying family time with "Grandpa" and "Dad" on the shores of Loch Lomond during this period, Elena almost forgot that she also helped the first generation Dark Lord to persecute... um... revenge... um... …Greetings, Mr. Newt Scamander, by the way, arranged for a symbolic two laps around the Quidditch pitch.
After all, Newt Scamander is already an old man over ninety years old at this time.
Adhering to the good tradition of respecting the elderly and the long-standing unity and friendship of Hufflepuff House, Elena actually didn't particularly want to bully this master of magical animal training - besides, in terms of the character attributes of both parties, as a half-blood charming As a child, she may still be restrained by Newt Scamander in a sense.
It's a pity that Dumbledore has already sorted out all the relationships for her in advance.
Ever since he learned that the magical beasts section of "The New Quibbler" was compiled and organized by Elena herself, Newt Scamander has always been particularly interested in this first-year elementary school girl from Hufflepuff House.
After receiving Dumbledore's letter, Newt Scamander agreed without any hesitation.
Therefore, although she was a little uneasy, Elena still had no choice but to choose her fate.
As for how she should face the famous fan of magical animals after arriving in Dorset County in a few days, Elena's plan is to temporarily divide it into three stages and conduct tests one by one to see what the situation is like.
The easiest way is undoubtedly to directly show off the mixed Veela blood. If you can disguise yourself as a cute and harmless magical creature/wizard loli, then no matter what you say or do, you will most likely be forgiven. Bar?
As for the second plan, as a natural science enthusiast in the non-magical world, assisting from the perspective of a magical agricultural reformer, try to have some basic academic discussions with Newt Scamander - according to Elena As far as we know, although Mr. Scamander has a few 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 part of the natural circle, you will inevitably participate in the process of energy circulation. The necessary relationship between prey and predators. As a senior zoologist, Newt Scamander, naturally more Understand this.
Of course, if the first two options fail, she also discovers some necessary knowledge from Newt.
Then Elena doesn't mind showing off her strength a little. Although the identity of the third generation Dark Lord does not have much deterrence yet, the identity of the "granddaughter" of the first generation Dark Lord Grindelwald is completely enough to deter senior Newt.
However, in Elena's previous game simulations, Newt Scamander's silly personality may not necessarily be able to see through her layers of disguise, especially when she is also carrying Luna Love. When Goode and Hannah Abbott were two little cuties, it was impossible for an old wizard who was over ninety years old to pay attention to too many details with his gradually declining energy.
"The teeth, crab legs, crab shells of the Forbidden Forest hairy soft-shell crab... I think about it, in addition to that, there are Mr. Horns that the unicorn gave me before, the Thestral's tail hair, Mr. Hagrid's hair, the giant Strange domestication experiment records..."
Elena clasped her fingers, thoughtfully counting the gifts she wanted to bring over.
There is no doubt that these first-hand research materials and information must be quite tempting to Newt Scamander.
And more importantly, she also needs to use Newt Scamander's experience to find a way to get rid of the big snake that is still sealed deep in Hogwarts Castle before the start of school - killing the basilisk is not What a difficult thing, but if you want to capture it safely without killing it, the difficulty is a bit high.
"Hmm... Speaking of which, maybe we should update our equipment?"
Thinking of the basilisk sleeping in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, Elena subconsciously touched the metal cross pendant hanging on her chest - since the Gryffindor sword made by the goblin craftsmen nearly a thousand years ago can deal with snakes. If the monster caused fatal injuries, it makes no sense that after more than a thousand years, the goblins would be unable to create some higher-level magic weapons.
Even if there is a phenomenon of chronology of forging technology, there must still be a lot of good things in the underground warehouse of the bank.
Thinking about it carefully, as the Goblin Queen of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, she really needs some small weapons for self-protection.
