บท 22: A Choice Between Worlds
In silence, in the abandoned classroom, the setting sun was reflected through the clouds from the window, and the sudden orange glow spilled over most of the classroom, covering the girl with silver hair next to the grand piano.
Elena sat on the leather stool of the sofa, with her eyes lowered, dedicating herself to spoonful after spoonful of lemon ice cream in the cup, as if the meaning of the whole world was in her palm.
Dumbledore looked at the little girl with silver hair turned into a cat and shook his head with an ironic smile. He did not expect the warning brought by Professor McGonagall to work.
The old wizard raised his wand in his right hand and skillfully flexed it. He moved the wooden table and the stool at the back of the classroom to the front, dusted it magically, and stood up and sat down.
"Hello, Elena, let me introduce myself again. I am Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
Elena nodded slightly, indicating she was listening to Dumbledore's words, and quietly mocked, but fortunately, she did not take it seriously according to the chocolate frog character card, otherwise she would really have to reconsider the average intelligence quotient of the magical world.
Dumbledore cleared his throat and looked at Elena sincerely and continued.
"About the magical world and Hogwarts, I believe I do not need to explain it further. This time I invite Miss Elena to visit our school. The main goal is to send you an invitation to return."
"Oh..."
A metal spoon in Elena's hand hit the porcelain plate, making a clear sound, her long eyelashes moved slightly, and she muttered resentfully.
"The original linguistic habits of the magical world are not the same as those of the non-magical world. Usually, we refer to this behavior as drug kidnapping."
What worried her the most was not being fascinated by Hogwarts, but... the food they used to lure her, it was the boiled fish she caught herself!
Dumbledore's gentle smile couldn't help but tense, and he coughed slightly, pretending not to hear the girl's condemnation, and continued as usual.
"Cough, we all know you are not an ordinary person. Over time, you must also realize the unexpected situations that occasionally occur in your normal life."
Magical rebellion did not occur just once. Most young wizards could not control and effectively use the magic accumulated in their bodies due to the lack of systematic guidance. They could only vent through emotional means and unconsciously discard magic.
But compared to most children, in Dumbledore's opinion, Elena has clearly understood her differences and skillfully integrated into life, you know, magical messengers were not easily hunted down by Muggles.
"You have extraordinary magical talents, and at Hogwarts, you can maximize your abilities and teach you how to use and control magic. It's not about the hidden power in your body..."
"I know." Elena set down the cup and saucer in her hand and suddenly interrupted. "But I also have the right to choose to be an ordinary person. Frankly, Professor Dumbledore, do you really believe Muggles lead a happy life?"
"Although it is not as convenient, but perhaps because you know less, perhaps you will be happier? So are you willing to enter Ho..."
Dumbledore frowned in doubt, not understanding why the girl suddenly asked such a question. After thinking it over, he responded with some uncertainty.
"No, you are mistaken."
Without waiting for Dumbledore to finish his speech, the little silver-haired loli sat up straight, crossed her legs, balanced on her tiptoes, and wagged her index finger mischievously, saying meaningfully: "You can't even imagine the happiness of Muggles."
From the details of the original work, the luxuries and entertainment methods of the magical world are almost scarce to an unimaginable level. Whether it is the design, taste, and quality of clothing accessories, it is an outdated and antique domestic style from medieval Europe.
As for transportation, the two prime presences of the world, whether it's the series of illuminated wheels or the yet-to-be-launched fire crossbows, effectively stand in front of luxury sports car brands like Bugatti Veyron and Silbe. Value is not too essential.
In terms of food, 1 kilogram of truffles known as the "king of the world's treasures" is valued at 4000 euros; a small jar of Iranian Almas caviar is priced at 25,000 US dollars; and the Densuk black-skinned watermelon made in Japan is the finest in the world. Black-skinned watermelons, on average, can be sold for $6,000... In Elena's opinion, if people in the magical world want to enjoy this, there is no feasible way other than taking advantage.
"... In summary, no matter what you think, being an ordinary person is much happier than being a wizard. So why do I have to be a sorcerer and accept the jurisdiction of your magical world?"
