I grew up in an orphanage,” Elena said. “It might seem like I understand the Muggle world, but I only know the bottom layers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bottom layers?” Ron paused noticeably. “I thought you were some noble family’s young lady.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, the centuries-old white-haired Kaslana family,” she smiled bitterly. “But it only exists in Donald’s stories—there’s no such family in reality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doesn’t exist?” Zhang Qiu said skeptically. “My master also mentioned this: Apocalis representing the Bishop, Saniyat representing the Saintess, and Kaslana representing the Knight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Order of Destiny, right?” Elena visibly stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, exactly. I originally thought it was just a bedtime story, but then I realized no novel or tale ever mentions these names,” Zhang Qiu mused. “But if Donald also told this story, and the details are astonishingly similar...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That suggests it might be real,” Harry said. “Perhaps the Order of Destiny once existed—a hidden, ancient secret. Your master and Donald just happened to stumble upon it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry thought even deeper: if the Order of Destiny truly existed but all traces of it were erased, perhaps it had once been an organization that rebelled against Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But that makes no sense,” Ron said. “I mean, it’s too strange—I can’t imagine your master and Donald having anything in common.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hard to say. I heard my master used to act just as strangely as Donald did when he was young,” Zhang Qiu adjusted her posture. “It was only after he picked up my master’s junior on a rainy day that he became much more restrained.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your master’s junior—uh, if I understand correctly, he and your master studied under the same teacher, one after the other?” Harry said. “That’s how I interpret the term ‘master’s junior.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, not like that. One day he picked up a vagrant and discovered he was a genius,” Zhang Qiu said. “He felt it was too much pressure to take such a brilliant person as his own disciple, so he took him on as his master’s disciple instead, calling him ‘junior.’ That’s the whole story.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s funny—I was picked up by Donald too,” Elena blinked. “After first year, I wanted to visit the orphanage again, but it had already been torn down. It was raining that day, and I couldn’t understand why the place I’d spent so many years calling home had vanished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I met Donald. He let me stay in his empty apartment and encouraged me to study hard, to treat the magical world as my homeland,” Elena’s voice softened as she whispered: “Wherever you go, Ilfamoni waits beside the moon; wherever you are, Ilfamoni is still home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s strange—my master recited the same poem,” Zhang Qiu frowned deeper. “But he didn’t say Ilfamoni—he said IruShil.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there a possibility,” Harry said, “that they both independently uncovered some ancient secret, something unknown to the world, and that’s why they said so many similar things?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what do they have in common?” Ron nearly scratched his head raw. “Donald and Xuan Jun are almost from completely different eras.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divination—they both seem skilled at divination,” Harry reminded him. “Remember second year? He knew almost everything that was about to happen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then it must be fate,” Zhang Qiu’s expression eased slightly. “Perhaps they both, through studying divination, discovered hidden truths in the river of destiny. From their behavior, it might even have been a lost civilization.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too mysterious—I can’t even imagine it,” Elena said. “So the Kaslana family might have actually existed—and perhaps once formed the backbone of some lost civilization.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And this civilization...” Harry glanced around, lowering his voice, “might have vanished because it fought against gods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This,” Ron took a deep breath, “are we really sure we should be discussing such intense topics at our age?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What else should we do? Grow up, lose our dreams, and rot slowly in the magical world?” Elena sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel like you’re hinting at something,” Harry deliberately scratched his head, feigning curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hermione always stops me, but I really can’t hold back anymore,” she said. “The ancient Dracul family, proudly ruling the magical world, sneering at everything Muggle-related.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take this,” she lifted her skirt, revealing her garter straps. “This afternoon, Fleur specifically taught me the ‘Invisible Garter Charm.’ The way she spoke—it was disgusting, acting like she was so superior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Magic has enriched our lives, true, but solving every problem with magic is just pretentious,” Zhang Qiu offered a balanced opinion. “Of course, I believe the magical world needs reform—my master’s junior is proposing industrialized alchemical products to replace certain spells.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For example, alchemical stockings—long or short, thick or thin—all just within the scope of Transfiguration,” she continued. “When you can adjust the denier of your socks at will, all those stupid ancient spells can be thrown straight into the trash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, girls’ talk,” Ron stood up. “Come on, Harry, let’s go get some fresh air.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think Donald, like Xuan Jun, learned about some lost civilization through divination?” Ron asked as soon as they stepped outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m only guessing. If you’re interested, maybe you should study Divination?” Harry clearly had no interest in this—or rather, he was wary, afraid to probe too deeply into areas that might touch Death. To most people, this would be an exciting adventure, but for a Peverell descendant, it was a lesson paid for in ancestral blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s get serious,” Ron sighed. “Elena seems weird, but I don’t feel anything for her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By ‘weird,’ you mean she might have developed feelings for you?” Harry asked. “Not just an illusion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe. Then it’s simple,” Ron bit his lip, staring at the dark forest ahead. “But I think I like Hermione.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not entirely surprising,” Harry said, unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ivy is nice too, but I feel she’s just like Elena,” Ron’s expression was pained. “I can’t find the words—it’s just that, sure, they’re both beautiful, but... it doesn’t click.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry suddenly realized what Ron was missing: sincerity. Ivy was only close to Ron because Harry wanted them to get along—perhaps she saw it as a political alliance. Elena, without doubt, was likely following Donald’s orders, deliberately flirting with Ron to divert his attention from Hermione.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Hermione truly treated Ron as a friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right,” Harry whispered. “Don’t care what others think—if you like her, you should boldly ask her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, I’m a little regretful,” Ron said, “but when Hermione was desperate to solve the dance partner problem, I really wanted to help her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You and Zhang Qiu had just started dating—I couldn’t let you ask Elena,” Ron said. “But if no one asked Elena, how could Hermione ever feel like going to the ball?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wish I hadn’t agreed to that,” Harry sighed too. “The problem’s still Fleur. You should’ve let Fleur and Elena sort it out themselves—you could’ve just said plainly you were asking Hermione, and that would’ve turned down Krum.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Cedric clearly looked forward to dancing with Fleur, and you heard it too—Elena doing the man’s part? She just wanted to annoy Fleur as much as possible under Hermione’s watch,” Ron groaned. “Either way, I missed it. The Yule Ball in fourth year—I’ll remember this dance forever because I missed it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the mysterious Kaslana family really existed,” Harry said, “then it’s simple—you just keep dating Elena as a polite Anglo-American magical political alliance, nothing more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s probably what Renata truly thought too,” Harry sighed. “She doesn’t like Krum at all, but for the headmaster’s sake, she’s forcing herself to date him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What even is love?” Ron sighed along. “I feel like something’s crawling on me—or maybe I’m crawling myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t use such abstract terms,” Harry comforted him. “Elena’s pretty too, isn’t she? Like Cedric said, as long as you leave behind a good memory, that’s enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, what’s going on with you two?” Cedric stepped out just then, holding a wine glass, his face flushed. “A beautiful dance partner inside chatting warmly, and two grown boys outside sighing like beggars?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard something astonishing—I need to talk about it,” Cedric leaned against the railing, reeking of alcohol. “Fleur might be cheating in the tournament.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1381,"2026-06-21T04:54:29.094Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","20710b8fc1463288efdcb27be6d6bcd4d6e64c8b11729ace9694d5f33e139c70","wizard-war-at-hogwarts-chapter-211","wizard-war-at-hogwarts-chapter-209",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-war-at-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
