Hogwarts: I am Voldemort
Chapter 35 Dumbledore’s Conjecture
"The Headmaster agrees, Percy, just wait for the owl."
Voldemort smiled and said, "Come to my office tonight, I need to give you a meeting."
"Thank you very much, Professor, what time do I need to arrive?"
"Eight o'clock, the meeting won't last long." After Voldemort finished speaking, he waved for him to go to eat.
After Percy left, he got a piece of pumpkin soup and a piece of meat pie, and started eating while reading.
[The Origin of Magic], he read this book because he wanted to explore the origin of magic - I think every outsider has this idea.
Unfortunately, the book does not give a clear answer. According to what is said in the book, the specific origin of magic has never been found in history.
There are many contents in the book, which are speculations about the missing origin of magic. Some of the more convincing ones are generally remembered by Voldemort:
The first theory: magic originated before the advent of writing, which makes the origin of magic unrecorded.
The second theory is that the long-term family inheritance and master-disciple inheritance system allows the origin of magic to disappear in the long river of history with the demise of each family and faction.
The third theory: The history of witch hunting in the Middle Ages caused a big gap in the entire wizarding world. Wizards did not dare to hide these prohibited items, resulting in a gap in the history of wizards.
The fourth theory: During the years when the origin of magic was spread throughout the world, people did not feel that it needed to be recorded, and when everyone wanted to find the answer, the answer had been buried in the long river of history.
In addition, there are many conspiracy theories, such as the conspiracy of pure-blood families and the Ministry of Magic being at work, but these unreliable claims are only briefly mentioned in the book.
Voldemort didn't feel which statement was more correct. He didn't bother to explore the question because it seemed to him meaningless.
On the contrary, the speculation about the origin of magic is what he really wants to know, and most of the content in this book is related to this:
The first guess: bloodline theory.
Bloodline creates wizards. Purebloods rarely have squibs, and the children of Muggle wizards have a high probability of not having magical talents. It can be seen that wizards originate from bloodline.
The second guess: the theory of destiny.
Squibs also exist among purebloods, and Muggles can also give birth to children with magical talents. This shows that it is destiny that gives children magical talents.
The third guess: variation theory.
Wizards are mutated humans, and this mutation can be inherited through blood. This can well explain the wizards among Muggles and the squibs among pure blood, because both of them have mutated.
The fourth guess: the theory of creation by predecessors.
Wizards have many special bloodlines, such as Disguise Magus, Blood Curse, Veela Physique, etc. Perhaps their predecessors stole the blood of magical creatures and obtained their abilities.
The fifth guess: the theory of magical creatures.
Wizards do not belong to humans, but are magical creatures that are different from humans. In the long process of mating and evolution, they finally took the form of humans.
The sixth guess: the theory of the god of magic.
There is an invisible god of magic who controls everything from behind and decides who is a human and who is a wizard.
In addition to these, there are many speculations later, some of which seem reasonable, but many more are absurd and uninhibited.
And all these speculations have been supported by evidence in the book, and at the same time, loopholes have also been found.
For example, the theory of creation by predecessors, according to this theory, wizards are artificially created, and humans become wizards through methods such as eating, applying externally, and injecting the blood of magical creatures.
There is a powerful rebuttal to this conjecture:
Gentlemen who make such conjectures, may I ask where the magical creatures come from?
A simple rhetorical question directly made this conjecture shaky. Here are some examples of wizards' rebuttals, but none of them make sense.
Voldemort was also lost in these conjectures, as if all of them made sense, but none of them could explain everything clearly.
"Page 236, look what Dumbledore wrote..."
Voldemort murmured in his heart and turned the book to page 236.
Sure enough, there was a lot of dense text on the side of this page - because he had skimmed through it before, he skipped a lot of content, so he didn't notice this handwritten mark.
He first looked at the main content of this page:
Does He really exist?
If so, how does He make decisions?
Some people speculate that He may decide the fate of the children by throwing a sieve. Let us not discuss the authenticity of this conjecture.
If He really exists - let's assume this for now - then while He is the God of magic, will He also be the God of Muggles?
This is a bold guess, but if so, then vampires, werewolves, Veela, goblins... too many races may all have the same god.
So, does He really have life?
This large paragraph of text was circled and pointed to one side by an arrow. Below it was Dumbledore's annotation. Voldemort couldn't wait to look at it:
Does He really have life?
A mind-blowing question. This is the most surprising sentence I have read in ten years, and it also gave me the most enlightenment.
For a long time, I have focused on the research on the origin of magic and have explored countless ideas, but none of the answers satisfied me.
Until this sentence appeared, I couldn't help but think, what if the God of Magic is not a living body, but an origin of magic?
Like magic, it's magical and elusive.
We can assume that it has several properties:
Bloodline characteristics: Bloodline is passed down from generation to generation, but there is a certain chance of breaking.
Random characteristic: Blessed immediately on a person, such as a Muggle child.
Hidden Characteristics: Many Squibs showed magical talent as children, but as adults, they can no longer use magic, but perhaps the talent is still there, but it is just hidden.
We could come up with more features for it, which would be enough to satisfy any speculation, but the same problem bothers me:
Does it really exist?
I don't know, but I want to try, to find this inanimate source of magic.
Here, I write down the ideas I am looking for so that viewers can continue to explore along this path or other paths.
I will choose a magic that I am most familiar with and magical enough, and try to find the root of magic in the magic.
We always pick fruit from the tree, not from the reflection below.
Hopefully this is a direction in the right direction, although I don't have much hope for it anymore, I'm too old.
Latecomers, please continue to explore the mysteries of magic, this place is very beautiful.
The text ends here, and there is no signature behind it. If Dumbledore hadn't mentioned that this was a passage he wrote, Voldemort wouldn't even pay much attention to it.
But when he read this paragraph carefully, his heart became uncontrollably excited.
"The source of magic hidden in magic is very similar to the cosmological constant proposed by Einstein. This may be a great guess, but no matter what, you will know after trying it..."
Voldemort was so excited that he made three meatloaves in a row, which was far more heavy than usual, but only in this way could he calm down the excitement in his heart.
As for action…
At nine o'clock, he needed to go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the second floor to teach Ravenclaw in his sixth or seventh year. This was his first class after joining Hogwarts.
He couldn't find a reason for taking leave, not even one.
