Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 266 Tom: The Rotten Secrecy Act

Some remarks left several people speechless.

They had no way to prove Tom's words.

Even, their hearts could not help but believe what Tom said.

Has it always been this way?

The advent of secrecy laws was probably a good thing at the time.

But the secrecy law that has been maintained for hundreds of years, with a little panic, hatred and conspiracy, has become a product of the old era that must be discarded.

Tom saw it very clearly.

Harry and Ron thought about it, and Hermione thought about it on a deeper level.

Because of the law of secrecy, the concept of pure blood supremacy has grown stronger.

The concept that was disdainful at the time has evolved into the belief that the pure-blood family deeply respects today.

Is this really right?

But the answer, no one can tell them.

They can only find and experience it by themselves.

Only when they see, hear, and understand it can they confirm it after careful consideration.

As for now, Tom had only planted a seed deep in their hearts.

Waiting quietly for the day when the seed germinates.

Because of this, Tom didn't continue talking.

He believed that they would understand later.

Then because I understand, because I understand, because I have experienced it.

They will be like-minded with themselves and walk on a great path together.

Secrecy laws cannot be overturned swiftly.

You have to take it step by step, slowly.

First cut off the remnants of the old era surrounding it, and then apply strong medicine to welcome the arrival of the new era.

But after overturning the secrecy law, what should the wizarding community do is another very important issue.

He didn't want the old witch hunt to happen again, causing an irreparable tragedy.

In that case, wouldn't it be contrary to his original intention!

However, overturning the secrecy law is something he must do in the future.

Before doing that, what Tom needs is a chaotic magical world, a magical world that has no time for him to care about, not an iron barrel-like magical world.

Someone has to step up and be the bad guy.

Who is more suitable for this villain than himself?

After Voldemort was resurrected, the waters in the wizarding world were muddy.

Many thoughts came to Tom's mind.

After he has won over a large number of friends, and then removes Voldemort, then the resistance he will face will be much smaller.

Britain has Harry here, and he will help him defeat Voldemort when the time comes.

Then with his huge reputation of defeating Voldemort and saving other wizards from fire and water, it shouldn't be a problem.

On the German side, Karkaroff will help him nibble away the pure-blood diehards of Durmstrang step by step, and promote his concept of equality of wizards and wizards under the sun, which should not be a problem.

Bear... the wizarding world over there is already in chaos.

I have to take some time to go there and call the wizard there again, it shouldn't be a problem.

The magic world of Gallic Rooster... is surrounded by powerful magic worlds on both sides, so it shouldn't be a problem for the army to overwhelm the land.

Thinking about it this way, he, who holds half of the public opinion in the magic world, should be able to easily achieve his goal.

But only if Voldemort had to be resurrected first to muddy the waters.

Then he was defeated by Harry and died in front of everyone.

Only in this way, and only in this way, will his plan have a great chance of success.

As for why he didn't appear in front of Voldemort in person and defeat Voldemort in front of everyone.

That was naturally because he would inevitably be exposed by that guy after he appeared in front of Voldemort many times.

Especially if he wants to kill him.

As himself, doesn't he know himself?
The dead should not be disgusting.

Tom thought.

"Harry, you should take advantage of your vacation to go out and see more."

"And you too, the magic world is big, but the magic world is also small, we have fallen behind for too long."

He patted Harry on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"But don't we still have Dumbledore?"

Hermione murmured subconsciously.

What she thought was.

If the law of secrecy is really wrong, what does Professor Dumbledore think of it?

It can't be said that Professor Dumbledore helped maintain the law of secrecy because it was harmful.

"Hermione, you should understand one thing."

"what?"

Look at the expression in Tom's eyes, the serious and touching eyes.

"Professor Dumbledore is old."

That short sentence made a few people instantly think of Professor Dumbledore's current age.

He is over 100 years old, how long will it be before he dies?
After having such an idea, there was an uproar in their hearts.

Yeah, Professor Dumbledore is getting old.

"Besides, how do you know that Professor Dumbledore never wanted to overturn the secrecy law?"

Seeing them pondering, Tom detonated another bomb without hesitation.

As a witness all the way from that era.

Tom is well aware of the relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

They had a common philosophy.

That sentence, for the greater good.

And, what they once wanted to do together.

Overturn the laws of secrecy, and let all wizards stand in the sun.

It's just that Tom now feels that Grindelwald's ideas at that time were very radical.

He wants to make the wizard the master of this world.

Eliminate most muggles and make wizards the top of the bunch.

Except that overturning secrecy laws is their common goal.

The ideas between the two cannot be combined.

Tom's idea is very simple, making wizards a special group in the Muggle world.

It's like being a Muggle scientist.

Those who study the truth.

Isn’t magic an alternative truth?

Tom, with such an idea in mind, naturally knew that his ideological path ran counter to Grindelwald's.

The two are different, but the resistance they face is basically the same.

Tom, however, felt better off himself.

There is another self who can muddy the water in the magic world for him and attract everyone's attention.

And he can develop under the sun, waiting for the day when he will come to the bright side.

"How...how is this possible? How could Professor Dumbledore have such an idea? He has always been maintaining the wizarding world."

It was still Hermione who spoke, with her own doubts in her whisper.

Harry looked at Tom, and something in him believed what he was saying.

It just feels a little unlikely.

"That's a very likely thing, Hermione."

"Professor Dumbledore was friends with Grindelwald when he was young, but the two went against each other later on. Otherwise, who will be the winner at the beginning, is it really not certain?"

Grindelwald, this is a familiar name to Hermione.

Not just to Hermione, Ron and Harry knew the name.

One of the most important things they had seen in Professor Dumbledore's life on that card was...

Defeated the Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald in 1945.
