Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 356 Seventh Grade

"Have you decided on names for them yet? Duir?"

Seeing the happy family, Galadriel and Elrond smiled and asked questions.

Dui and Alwen exchanged a glance, and then Dui solemnly and sincerely said to Elrond, "Lord Elrond, Alwen and I have discussed the names of the two children before, and we would like to ask you to name them!"

Hearing Dui's words, Elrond was very pleased and did not refuse their request.

He looked at his grandchildren with tenderness and love, and after a moment's thought, he decided, "How about we name the boy Elthir and the girl Elroth?"

"Elseth, guardian of the elves? Ellos, flower of the elves?" Dui understood the meaning behind the names given by Elrond.

These two names follow the naming conventions of the Elrond family, with El (meaning elf) at the beginning and Thir (meaning guardian) in Quenya, signifying "guardian of the elven bloodline".

The word "roth" in Elloth means "flower" in Sindarin, signifying "flower of fairies" and symbolizing beauty and preciousness like a flower.

Dui and Alwen liked the two names, and so the names of the two children were decided.

They then used Dui's name as the last name, naming their eldest son Elses Duiel and their daughter Ellos Duiel.

The birth of the two children made the Valley very lively, and the happy Elrond held a grand celebration banquet in the Valley.

Elves have long lifespans and long gestation periods, so their reproduction rate is nowhere near that of humans.

Hogwarts may have admitted a large number of elves in the last two years, but in reality, it's the result of decades of accumulation.

After all, elves grow very slowly. One year of an elf's life is equivalent to 12 years of a human's life, and that's just the growth stage. The years that follow are even longer.

So even after all the elf children have been admitted in the next few years, it might be several years or even a decade or more before we can admit a single elf.

Therefore, the birth of the two "half-elves" was welcomed by all the elves in the valley, who sent them their blessings and gifts.

There are small statues carved from pure wood, garlands woven from beautiful leaves and flowers, amulets made with elven magic, or collected from dew that is tinged with starlight, and exquisite handicrafts such as delicate jewelry, small necklaces made of silver and gold, as well as various gemstones, diamonds, and jewels.

The gifts given to Elses and Ellos differed; Ellos's gifts were more focused on the various exquisite and beautiful items for girls, while Elses's gifts included small bows and arrows and daggers from male elves.

Elrond gifted Elros an elven dagger that originally belonged to his twin brother, Elros, as Elros's future personal weapon.

He also gave one of his wife Celebrian's jewelry necklaces to his granddaughter Ellos.

Celeborn and Galadriel, who were each other's great-grandparents, gifted Elseth and Elros a longbow made from mammillennia core and a mammillennia crown, respectively.

After giving gifts, the two little ones suddenly became rich.

Dui and Alwen stayed in the Valley for more than two months. Finally, as Hogwarts was nearing the end of the semester, they bid farewell to everyone and returned to Windrise to recuperate.

Then a grand banquet was held in the castle for the two children, and the birth of the heir was announced to the outside world, especially to the people in the territory.

The attendees were mainly professors and students from the school, as well as old friends like Bilbo. Everyone looked at the two beautiful little elves with great curiosity and affection.

Elses and Ellos were loved by all the students. Even the introverted and reserved elves would come up to them and give them their favorite gifts.

Elses and Ellos were very intelligent; they could speak and even start trying to walk just three months after they were born.

Facing Dui, she would always sweetly call him "Daddy," comforting Dui's overflowing paternal love. Alvin had only recently given birth, but she refused Dui's suggestion that she continue to rest, insisting on teaching her students the history of magic.

Dui, the school principal who had nothing to do, took on the responsibility of caring for the two children.

So the students and professors at the school often saw their principal, holding a child in each arm, appearing in every corner of the castle.

During the meal, the principal sat in the gold chair in the middle of the professors' seats, while Elses and Ellos sat in baby chairs on his left and right.

The elderly father, Dui, kept feeding the children, neglecting even the food in front of him.

The sight left the students wide-eyed, feeling utterly disillusioned.

Their lord, who once subdued dragons and killed trolls, orcs, and other dark creatures, has now become a stay-at-home dad!

As time went by, Elses and Ellos grew rapidly, not only becoming able to speak, walk, and dance, but also developing their minds faster than ordinary human children.

Under the tutelage of Dui and Alwen, he not only quickly mastered the languages ​​of humans and elves, but also took the initiative to ask to attend classes with the students and learn magical knowledge.

Time flew by, and it was now 2967.

The first batch of students who enrolled in school have now entered seventh grade and are nearing graduation.

The school has more than 500 students from first grade to seventh grade.

With so many students living in the castle at the start of the semester, the castle is very lively.

In addition to the original professors, some new professors have been added in recent years. For example, starting from the third year, classes on protecting magical creatures, divination, ancient runes, and alchemy have been added.

In the lesson on protecting magical creatures, Dui invited Beon, the skin-changing man.

Beorn can not only transform into a giant bear, but also communicate with animals, making him the perfect candidate to teach the class on protecting magical creatures.

In ancient times, such as Niven, Dui invited the Elf Prince Legolas.

When Legolas was learning magic from Dui, he dabbled in runes and became interested in them, studying and researching them in depth. Teaching students runes was no problem for him at all.

As for divination, Dui himself possessed a talent for it, but this skill was unpredictable and impossible to control, so Dui didn't study divination much.

As for the instructor of divination, Duy, on Elrond's recommendation, hired Gillyne, Aragorn's mother.

Gillynn's mother, Ivorwen, was a renowned prophet in Middle-earth. She foretold that Gillynn and Arason's union would bring hope to the declining Dúnedan, but she also foretold Arason's death and that Aragorn would become king.

While Gillian is not as famous as her mother Ivory, she also possesses prophetic abilities and can serve as the Divination professor at Hogwarts.

To this end, Dui even gave all the divination books he had obtained from previous sign-ins to Gillian for study.

Finally, there is the Alchemy class, which is only offered in the sixth and seventh years, and requires excellent grades in runes to be eligible to take the Alchemy class.

This course is taught by Dui himself, with two sessions a week, and the number of students is small, so it doesn't take up much of Dui's time and energy.

So Dui treated it as a pastime and tried to train a few alchemists.
