Chapter 359 A New Storm Has Arisen

"Is the latest issue of 'Singing Opposition' the one we discussed before?"

Hermione leaned forward with curiosity. Previous worries and dissatisfactions were momentarily left behind. Compared to her appetite, she truly cared more about this process of witnessing the birth of knowledge.

"Yes, in addition to the introduction I authored, there are several other articles featuring both of your names as the first and second authors. It's quite a laborious effort."

Elena nodded, opened the articles section in "Singing Opposition," and smiled before handing it over to Hermione and Hannah.

After all, in terms of workload, Hermione, as the calculation master, is responsible for the collection and processing of the primary raw data.

Hannah is accountable for all the manual transcription and extraction tasks. In comparison, Elena's major contribution is primarily providing ideas and directions, hence she only signs as the corresponding author.

To explain to Shenofirius Lovegood who the corresponding author, the first author, and the second author are, Elena wrote almost half a parchment, which was almost irritating enough to throw directly. A chubby, flat-headed chicken added a bit of blood, in addition to a few feathers, as a direct threat.

"Corresponding author, Teresa Apocalis?"

Hermione carefully glanced at the lead author of the journal, then looked at Elena puzzled.

"The pseudonym I took was Mr. Otto's idea."

Elena glanced at the "grandfather" who was still eating and drinking in the faculty seat, and responded very calmly.

"After all, it is an important project to reorganize the magical era. If we all use real names, subsequent exposure is too easily prone to be questioned and criticized due to the magical world's prejudice against age, coupled with the long-standing disdain in the world of authors. The chain, a clear critical target, is likely to render all our efforts ignored."

Another reason is that over time, Elena Caslana's name is likely to become increasingly exposed, and once it is implicated with Grindelwald and Pabellón Guling, it will inevitably attract the attention of the entire magical world.

At that point, it is likely to impact the things they are currently doing, including the purpose and the meaning that can also be overinterpreted by individuals with hidden motives, as if it is about whitewashing Grindelwald's dark history or deliberately provoking disputes and the like.

"Well, don't you think so? Elena, have you thought more thoroughly about it?"

Hermione nodded, apparently not understanding. After all, she was still just an eleven-year-old witch. She didn't know much about these adult worlds, especially when it came to chains of criticism and disdain. Dark terminology.

But Hermione's intuition told her that everything Elena was doing was not malicious towards her, and that was enough.

"That's fine, don't you have your name? Obviously..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as your signature is on it, it's enough."

Elena waved her hand disdainfully, smoothing the messy hair on Little Castor's forehead, silently looking into Hermione's bright brown eyes and softly whispering.

People have to learn to be content and reserved, and the honor of the author of the history of magic will be given to Hermione and Hannah. Future titles about her are already dazzling enough, and it doesn't make much sense to have more labels.

"Elena..." Hermione inexplicably panicked as she looked at the blue eyes of the nearby lake.

Before Hermione could rephrase the language, Hannah Abbott suddenly looked and glanced at the half of the letter in Elena's hand and curiously said.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Lovegood's handwriting is beautiful, as if it were written by a girl."

"Eh?!"

Elena's face changed slightly, she quickly nodded and naturally said following Hannah's words.

"Yes, I find it a little strange too. But Mr. Lovegood is the editor-in-chief of 'Singing Contrary' journal, so no matter what text he writes, it won't be too strange. Those little stories he publishes in the journal are already quite bizarre."

Silly, this is a sign of lies and guilt.

Hannah looked over Elena's head, squinting significantly, and resignedly pursed her lips.

"Oh, I see."

Clearly, this white-haired bun must be trying to hide something.

But what exactly is he doing, this needs to be analyzed by Hermione later, for now...

Hannah looked at Hermione Granger, who had been beguiled by Elena's sweet words. She shook her head resignedly. She had been forcefully fed with durian and cilantro cake, sweet shells, no wonder her allies had temporarily lost their combat capabilities.

"Of course." Elena added again somewhat guiltily.

Even though they are all girls, it can't be guaranteed that Hannah and Hermione won't feel jealous. Before the lovely Luna appears in Hogwarts Castle, she should avoid exposing her little abacus to be safe.

"But..."

Hermione carefully observed the content of the magazine, and a concern creased her face.

"Magical era, the lost temporal coordinate of wizards... the historical truth deliberately concealed by authorities... who is trying to make our descendants forget magic... the seven wizards lost in the Muggle era..."

"Will these claims be too blunt and absurd? I mean, neither the Ministry of Magic nor the wizarding community will readily accept the content of this journal. Especially, especially, it's still so... funny..."

Hermione hesitated, trying to find a less adjective adjective.

Taking advantage of this moment, she quickly read the other articles in this issue of "Singing Contrary," all of which were absurd stories, such as in which part of humans has actually been replaced by a magical animal like a dove; for example, a witch claimed to have a spatial channel in her body that would never be excreted; for example, the elves of Pabellón Guling formed a secret army to attempt to attack Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic...

"Perhaps everything is true, Hermione, don't you know?"

Elena blinked and took "Singing Contrast" from Hermione's hand, deliberately or inadvertently flipping it over, she gave it a pretend look and said intentionally.

"There are always individuals in this world who seem out of tune with the entire world, but they have mastered the fragmented truth that others do not know, but the price is often being out of tune... and I, um, we, need these kinds of people."

"As for the recognition of conventional society, this is really a simple matter."

Elena paused for a few seconds, rolled the magazine in her hand, and touched her chin, a hint of mockery appearing at the corner of her mouth.

People are always superstitious about authority, but they do not know that authority will always yield to power. At this moment, the old turnip and the old potato are the most powerful forces in the world today.

Phew! I'm so good, I've changed three today!
