Chapter 341 Of Course!
Perhaps, from the perspective of Zacharys Smith, Ron Weasley, and Draco Malfoy, the first Quidditch training tomorrow is of great importance.
From the excited expressions of these boys, there is no doubt that more than one person will suffer from insomnia tonight. Their dreams may all be filled with images of flying and winning.
But for Elena, all of this is simply a trivial episode.
In fact, it is not as important as urging Draco Malfoy to write to his family and inform his father about the establishment of the new Quidditch team at Hogwarts.
Of course, otherwise...
According to Elena's suggestion, the letter will also mention the school's current outdated reserve of flying broomsticks, as well as the news that the youngest son of the Weasley family and a certain boy who had died in the disaster were also selected for this team.
Considering the degree of consent Lucius Malfoy has with his children and the decent manner he has maintained for a long time, Elena believes that this hint should be sufficient.
As for the time after this dinner, how the old Malfoy managed to acquire a new Firebolt for his son, that is beyond Elena's consideration.
After all, she now has more important things to attend to.
...
Hufflepuff common room.
Dinner time had ended, the girls had already returned to the common room, changed into their respective pajamas, and the three of them huddled on Elena's bed to discuss matters.
Of course, Hermione was wearing the same light pink robe as Elena.
"Hermione, based on your normal reading habits, how long would it take you to read such a thick book?"
Elena held up a large book nearly twice as thick as "A History of Magic" and placed it on Hermione's knee, asking eagerly.
If the image is not clear enough, then in the non-magical world, it's roughly a large reference book like the Oxford Dictionary. From the perspective of the book's title page, it seems that few people have borrowed it.
"'Secrets of Middle-Aged Wizards'? It's hard to say, primarily it depends on whether the content is interesting, if I am too slow and bored to read it, and also the number of illustrations and the size of the text in the book."
Hermione whispered the name on the cover of the book, flipped through the large book in front of her, and quickly scanned it up and down, then thought and confidently said.
"This book is estimated to take about a week to half a month, what about it?"
Indeed, she is a legendary walking human encyclopedia. This reading speed is quite good.
After receiving Hermione's response, Elena's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded. Instead of immediately responding to Hermione's questions, she continued to inquire.
"So, how much can you remember after reading this book... I mean, if the time span is about half a year, how many impressions can you retain from this book?"
"How much do you remember?"
Hermione furrowed her brow, and a moment of thought passed through her brown eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, I only heard her say in an uncertain tone.
"It is definitely impossible to say that I remember everything, but at least I can recall about half, of course, if I can give some clues, I know where to find these contents in the book. But..."
Hermione tilted her head quite cutely, looked up, and gazed at Elena sitting huddled on the quilt. The confusion on her face deepened, and she inexplicably asked.
"But... does it have anything to do with the magical era you are about to talk about and the presentation of the magazine?"
"Of course."
Elena nodded solemnly, lifted her finger, and said seriously.
"Wanting to trace historical texts buried in the dust of time, beyond the solid knowledge of common people, this is the most basic entry barrier. If you want to join the rewriting of the magical era, this is one of your most unique specialties."
"Rewriting the magical era? What's that?"
Hermione straightened involuntarily, her eyes full of intense curiosity.
"In short, it depends on us to recalibrate a truly reliable chronology and coordinates of the magical world's first year based on the history of magic."
Elena lowered her voice a bit, imitating the inscrutable tone of Father Benítez whenever he recited prayers, and her young and delicate face seemed to be enveloped in a mysterious light.
"From that point on, history will no longer be constructed with the illusion of mystery. All documents will record that the past, present, and future will trace back to a reliable timeline, and we are the writers and determiners of the magical world's time in the future."
Gulp ~
Hermione involuntarily swallowed and nervously nodded.
Hannah, who was sitting next to her, had a dignified look in her eyes, and adoration shone in her eyes; the little iron-willed girl who had undergone brainwashing, in the face of the dual reduction attack of this cunning girl and the diligent student, almost had no resistance.
"However, before everything begins, I need to confirm with you again."
Elena slowly raised her finger, speaking hurriedly.
"This is a path destined to be rough and difficult. You will need to read many historical texts. They may have errors, may not be entirely true, or may include many deductive elements... But one thing, when put together, they can illuminate the historical truth behind the mist."
"And what you need to do is that when we mention a certain point in time, you can quickly and accurately find all related events and temporal nodes, and turn it into the magical time we need."
In this magical world without computers, it is undoubtedly very difficult to establish an indexing system from scratch. Even if one were to start now, immediately importing a computer from the United States. With the lack of basic data input and the support of advanced algorithms, the help it can provide is extremely limited.
You should know that Elena can only provide two or three manuscripts for "Contrary Chants", and the rest can only be copied or invented by you, although if you use some web scripts, most can still be elegantly written, but then there will be no tracking influence.
But fortunately, Hermione Granger has the potential to temporarily serve as Elena's exclusive personal computing Ji during this special period, helping her to outline a realistic and reliable framework of magical chronicles.
The only difficulty is how to paint a vision ambitious enough for Hermione to voluntarily evolve into a computing Ji, actively contribute her own wisdom, and engage in this process, and even contribute her... haha, (ˉ﹃ˉ?)?
Elena held Hermione's hands with indifference, lightly pressed the cover of the thick headline book that she could not see at all, and solemnly said in a solemn tone.
"The only question is… are you really mentally prepared? Miss Hermione Granger, are you willing to join this difficult challenge? Will you use your own wisdom to rewrite the history of the magical world? Whether it be poverty or wealth, whether the environment is good or bad, health or illness, success or failure, from this moment to the end of time?"
I have to admit that, compared to Elena, Hermione, who is under twelve, is still too young.
Not to mention, at this moment Elena even inspired her Meiwa bloodline to the fullest.
Following Elena's voice, Hermione unconsciously clung to her.
Raising her head, little Lori Hermione stared into Elena's blue eyes, and nodded firmly, expressing the promise symbolizing her commitment.
"I am willing."
