Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort - Chapter 252

c252 A world without Muggles

It was already night when Cyrus returned from the underground cave of Qiuzhi Pavilion.

Hogwarts is very quiet, and the scene here has not changed much in a thousand years. The outline of the castle was no different from Tom Riddle’s memory, or from Cyrus’s night tour with Ginny’s help years ago.

Looking at the branches of the trees moving with the wind in the night, it still reminds people of the bird-shaped man-eater.

At this point, most of the students in the castle were already asleep. When Cyrus walked out of the library alone, he bumped into Filch. The moment this slovenly squib saw Cyrus, his face was obviously full of surprise and fear, and Mrs. Norris even arched her back and made a shrill voice.

Obviously, they still haven’t let go of the attack a few years ago.

Fortunately, Filch at least didn’t get dizzy. He said hello respectfully and left as if running away.

In fact, Cyrus is still a little sorry for the attack a few years ago. In fact, he also likes cats. He now has a group of Magdalene civets in his mobile suitcase. Maybe Mrs. Norris Will love them.

he thought.

At this time, a burst of soft light suddenly came from the end of the dark corridor, like a silver moon reaching out and pushing open the window, sending her clothes in.

Cyrus turned around and saw a silver phoenix landing in front of him.

This is Dumbledore’s patronus.

“Come to the astrology station, I have something to talk to you about.”

It brought a message from Dumbledore.

It just so happened that Cyrus also wanted to talk about the Knowledge Pavilion.

Hogwarts has several towers, two of which have become the dormitories of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, the third has become the dormitory of the owls, and the fourth tower has been used as a divination classroom…

These four towers are located at the four corners of the castle.

But there is also a central tower, which is the highest and is therefore used as an astrology classroom for students.

But at this time, even the astrology class is over.

When Cyrus arrived, he happened to see Dumbledore standing at the bay window of the tower. Next to him were many ring-shaped stargazing facilities and the Goblet of Fire with faint blue flames. .

Under the light of the Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore’s back looked a little dim.

“It’s been so long and you still haven’t put away the Goblet of Fire?” Cyrus asked.

The tower is where the Goblet of Fire is hidden in the Contest.

According to common thinking, Voldemort might think that the Goblet of Fire must be placed in the principal’s office, but in fact this is not the case. Of course, the result was that Voldemort neither reached the Headmaster’s Office nor came here.

He died in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, where he first confirmed his identity and bloodline.

In short, the arrogant Dark Lord did not even see the shadow of the Goblet of Fire in the end.

“There’s nothing wrong with putting it here,” said Dumbledore.

He turned around, withdrew his gaze from the starry night sky, and said: “I remember, none of us really found the location of the Goblet of Fire, right? There was no result in that game.”

Strictly speaking, it was indeed a fruitless game. After Voldemort’s death, the competition was naturally terminated. With everyone celebrating the Dark Lord’s death, who cares about an insignificant match?

What’s more, Cyrus, who destroyed Voldemort, didn’t need proof from the Goblet of Fire.

He is the uncrowned king!

“I will officially step down as president of the International Confederation of Wizards in two months. I think Babajide will temporarily handle the affairs of the International Confederation of Wizards on my behalf until the next president is elected.” Deng Bullido said.

“Let’s talk about this later. I have more important things to tell you.” Cyrus shook his head slightly, “It’s about the Knowledge Pavilion.”

“Did you find the clue?” Dumbledore asked.

Of course he knew what happened in the Qiuzhi Pavilion during this period, but since it was related to ancient magic, he did not interfere and left some things to Cyrus.

Dumbledore looked at Cyrus. He felt that Cyrus’s expression was very serious at this moment. It was obvious that what happened was not trivial.

“Voldemort’s body is missing.”

Dumbledore’s heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.

In the Chamber of Secrets, Cyrus burned Voldemort’s body, but in fact, he had another body that did not disappear – a body he refined with his father’s bones, servants’ flesh, and Harry’s blood.

After being defeated by Cyrus in the underground cave of Qiuzhi Pavilion, he was buried here by the collapsed rock.

But now, the body is gone.

“Is it Voldemort again?” Dumbledore felt as if his back felt a little heavier, his shoulders pressed down, and exhaustion made him breathless.

Voldemort, how many times will he have to be eliminated before he gives up?

But Cyrus shook his head.

“If it’s really Voldemort, then there’s no need to worry, but I don’t think so.”

By the time he was resurrected in the Department of Mysteries, Voldemort had already used all his methods. Even if he was still alive, that was all. Cyrus even felt that the poor guy didn’t deserve to be looked at by him.

The problem now is that the possibility of Voldemort being the culprit of all this is almost zero.

Although Voldemort experienced time travel, he did not have the ability to see through the power of time. The mysterious old man’s magical power may have been close to that of a god.

“We don’t know what that person’s purpose is yet, but it’s clear that we still have a powerful enemy waiting.” Cyrus said rationally, “and his power will far exceed Voldemort’s.”

But in fact, he was not too worried.

From everything that person has shown so far, he is just a character who hides his head and shows his tail. Maybe he is very strong, but at most he is just an enhanced version of Voldemort.

Dumbledore also nodded.

Now they don’t have much intelligence, so they can only go with the flow.

He went back to the previous topic.

“Now more and more wizards have seen your power. You are like a blazing torch, like the sun. They will worship you and follow your footsteps. This means that everything you do will become a role model. Every decision you make must be cautious.” Dumbledore said in the tone of a person who has experienced it.

He was preaching, but it was indeed a talk of experience.

Don’t look at Dumbledore who is often attacked by some remarks now, especially many people always think that he has dementia. But when he was young, countless people trusted him, and even now, many people trust him more than they trust themselves.

The members of the Order of the Phoenix are the best example.

“The key is whether you trust Dumbledore.” This is what Lupin said to Harry in the original book.

And now, as Cyrus’s reputation continues to grow worldwide, more and more wizards will regard him as a model and use his words and deeds as a code of conduct to constrain or motivate themselves.

But Dumbledore also knows that, as Grindelwald said, everyone will have their own thoughts.

Some people oppose breaking the Statute of Secrecy, and some people want to use tough measures to treat Muggles…

These conflicts will not disappear, and may even turn into wars.

“What are you worried about?” Cyrus asked with a smile, “Are you worried about conflicts?”

But Dumbledore shook his head.

“We all know that conflicts are inevitable. Wizards have been suppressed for too long, and Muggles are even less willing to see a group similar to them suddenly appear, but they want to be above them.” He is very rational, especially Dumbledore does not have naive fantasies about some things. Just like he never thought that there would be no sacrifices in the fight against Voldemort.

He was always willing to prepare for the worst.

Muggles do not have the power of wizards, but they are better at change and war than wizards.

They are like lions, who have already dominated the entire grassland, and now a group of rare tigers have emerged out of thin air to occupy their place. Even if the world is very spacious, lions and tigers will probably not give in to each other.

Conflict is inevitable, and Dumbledore knows this better than anyone else.

And he knows even more that for wizards, it is far more beneficial to actively break the Statute of Secrecy than to be discovered by Muggles.

“In that case, what questions do you have?” Cyrus asked back.

“The key is, which side are you on?” Dumbledore stared into Cyrus’ eyes, as if he wanted to see through Cyrus’s heart through those golden red eyes.

“You have evolved from Voldemort’s arrogant soul, but you don’t think highly of yourself like him.” Dumbledore said.

He could clearly feel that Cyrus had no hatred or contempt for Muggles in his heart, and he could also feel that Cyrus was close to Muggles, and he even felt that Cyrus actually valued the wisdom of Muggles.

So far, Cyrus has treated all lives equally, even goblins – he hates those things without disguising himself, but hatred is one aspect, Cyrus does not think that any life is superior to others.

The strong prey on the weak, that is just the law of nature.

“You are so powerful that even if Grindelwald and I are combined, we may not be able to match you. We all know that as long as you are determined, any resistance will not be your opponent.” Dumbledore said.

“So, I want to know which side you are on?”

As long as Cyrus wants to do it, there is nothing he can’t accomplish.

So it is very important whether Cyrus is biased towards wizards or Muggles.

Cyrus didn’t expect Dumbledore to ask this question, but the answer is very simple.

“Why should I stand on either side?” he asked, “I am like a scale that can balance the weight of both ends.”

“You will find this difficult.” Dumbledore said meaningfully, “There is no absolute justice in this world, you will always have some bias. Especially now that you represent wizards, so many wizards are willing to follow you, they regard you as the main, but you will inevitably be influenced by them.”

He continued: “When two different populations collide with each other, it is destined that the interests of one party will be harmed.”

In fact, Dumbledore was referring to Muggles.

So far, most Muggles know nothing about wizards. They think they are the only masters of the world. Once wizards appear in their world, they will probably immediately attract hostility. They will not allow things that originally belonged to them to be divided. What about wizards?

The arrogance of most wizards will make them despise and look down on Muggles.

They don’t think that Muggles are creatures that can be on an equal footing with them. In fact, most people still think that the Statute of Secrecy is to protect Muggles.

Cyrus understands this principle.

“I’m already preparing to solve this problem.” He said with a smile. Dumbledore nodded immediately, with curiosity in his eyes. He looked at Cyrus calmly, waiting to listen to Cyrus’ plan.

“For wizards, what we should eliminate most is the prejudice of most people against Muggles. I want to let them know that Muggles just don’t have magical abilities, not that they don’t have talent and wisdom. People like Mr. Weasley understand Muggles’ abilities best, right?” Cyrus said.

Dumbledore nodded.

Arthur Weasley is a famous Muggle expert.

“Unfortunately, due to the Statute of Secrecy, even he knows very little about the Muggle world. If they really understand Muggles, it is not difficult to find out how much wisdom those people who can’t use magic have inspired in order to live as they please.” Cyrus said, “I think the Muggle Studies class for wizards should be updated.”

He laughed: “Lucius has been doing these things in the United States for some time. He has mastered the wizard economy of the entire North America and vigorously studied the science and technology of Muggles.”

Breaking prejudice, this is what Cyrus wants to do in the wizarding world.

Dumbledore nodded in approval.

So Cyrus continued: “And Muggles should be prepared for the existence of wizards in advance.”

“This is not easy.”

“I think it’s just the opposite.” Cyrus said, “Times are different, Dumbledore, and Muggles’ thinking is also changing. They will be more tolerant, and the world will become more and more diverse.”

“For the Statute of Secrecy, we don’t need to pierce it forcefully. Instead, slowly show them the wizarding world.”

“Then how do you plan to do it?” Dumbledore asked curiously.

“Didn’t I tell you that I found a capable assistant not long ago?” Cyrus raised his eyebrows, “Gilderoy Lockhart.”

Dumbledore’s face showed a surprised expression.

“I remember that he asked for trouble and forgot most of the things.”

“When I went to treat Neville’s parents, I also cured him. Although he has no ability, he has a good mind. He will present the things in the magic world to the Muggles in the form of stories.” Cyrus said playfully, “What do you think… “Unspeakable Love, Dumbledore and Grindelwald”? ”

“I think it’s probably not that good…” Dumbledore felt like he was having a myocardial infarction.

Cyrus laughed, “Don’t worry, I have already made an agreement with Harry that Gilderoy will write a book called Harry Potter. It will be popular all over the world, and everyone will know the existence of magic and yearn to receive letters from Hogwarts.”

Dumbledore never thought that there was such a way. The scene described by Cyrus reminded him of Lily Potter’s sister, the girl named Petunia Evans.

“Muggles never refer to those who have no magical abilities, but those who don’t believe in magic, right?” Cyrus said softly.

He walked to the side of the Goblet of Fire, and the cold light of the flame shone into his eyes, like stars twinkling.

“If everyone believes in magic, then there will be no Muggles in this world!”
