Hogwarts: I am the White Lord

Hearing Grindelwald's words, Sebastian did not deny it, but nodded calmly.

"That's right, boy!" Grindelwald praised approvingly.

"You were just too petty before. If you had shown your absolute strength from the beginning and promoted your political ideas to everyone, your team would definitely be much larger than it is now."

"I just can't stand the way you were shrinking back before. If you had been so forthcoming earlier, maybe I would have been willing to help you a long time ago."

Being petty?

hehe--

You were quite generous at first, and had followers all over the wizarding world, but what's the use of that?

Dumbledore still suppressed you forcefully.

Sebastian curled his lips slightly.

If I were as flamboyant as you, Dumbledore would have regarded me as your successor before I could even form a team.

You know, Dumbledore, who had experienced two wizarding wars, was in a sensitive period.

If you can't defeat him, you have to boil the frog in warm water and slowly eliminate his doubts.

Now that the time is ripe, even without me asking, Lao Deng is willing to help me.

The fact that you were called out by Old Deng was all thanks to me, but now you look down on me.

"Everyone has his own way," Sebastian smiled. "There's a classic Muggle saying: It doesn't matter if the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat."

"If I were to carry out drastic reforms right from the start as you said, Headmaster Dumbledore would definitely be on guard against me like a thief."

Hearing this, Dumbledore blushed.

We were talking fine, why are you bringing me into this?

At first, because of Sebastian's background, I was a little more wary, but that's all in the past.

Hearing Sebastian's words, Grindelwald smiled and shook his head.

"You keep talking about Muggles. Why do you admire Muggles so much?"

"Respect?" Sebastian said meaningfully, "Not just respect, but also awe."

"They are developing so fast, so fast that it is beyond our imagination."

"Actually, I'm very unwilling to accept this." Sebastian's tone was a little sad.

"We invented the two-way mirror a long time ago, but until now, 99% of wizards still use the slow communication method of owls to transmit messages."

"We started studying astronomy a long time ago, but until now, there are still no traces of our wizards in space."

"We are ahead of the Muggles, but are being caught up and overtaken by them little by little. Mr. Grindelwald, can I not admire them?"

That’s right, wizards are being overtaken by Muggles, and I have never denied that.

Besides, Sebastian hadn't told the whole story, especially about the Muggles' developments in warfare.

Back then in the Paris cemetery, I showed my followers the Muggles' steel torrent. Decades have passed, and their weapons have become more advanced.

"Sebastian," Grindelwald's tone became serious, "If you are so afraid of Muggles, why do you want to break the Statute of Secrecy?"

"According to you, the Statute of Secrecy is actually protecting us wizards, isn't it?"

"It's protection, but it's also restraint." Sebastian looked directly into Grindelwald's eyes and said firmly.

"The Muggle world has been developing rapidly, while the wizarding world has been stagnant."

“I am really worried that one day, Muggle scientists will be able to invent an instrument that can actively detect the existence of magic;

I am worried that one day, Muggles will use science to deconstruct our magic model and develop weapons and armor to target our magic;

I am worried that one day, the Muggles will use the instruments they invented to directly open the door to the wizarding world, pull out the wizards one by one like rats, and then drag them to the laboratory for dissection and research. "

In Sebastian's eyes, the secrecy law of the wizarding world is actually somewhat similar to the policy of isolation that he learned in his previous life.

The government at that time was immersed in the dream of being the Celestial Empire, and everyone was considered its little brother.

It was not until the country's doors were opened by the powerful ships and guns of the great powers and the country was forced to cede territory and pay compensation that it slowly woke up from the dream.

Sebastian, who had experienced the pain deeply, naturally did not want to see wizards immersed in their own world and had no idea how big the world was.

"So," Sebastian said in a steady and powerful voice, "I choose to take the initiative to break the Statute of Secrecy and let all wizards open their eyes to the world."

"Go fight! Go grab! While we still have the advantage, go and establish our wizards' superior status."

"After all, actively going out to see the world and having the door to the wizarding world opened by Muggles and then seeing the world in our heads are two completely different perspectives."

"Oh," Grindelwald asked expressionlessly, "and what if it fails?"

failure?

Sebastian smiled self-deprecatingly: "Then I don't know, because I must have died on the road of resistance."

Hearing this, Grindelwald laughed heartily.

"Haha, that sounds good. I'm glad you have such awareness. If you want to be a flag bearer, you must be willing to sacrifice everything."

"Don't worry, I will never let you fight alone. Albus and I will help you."

"After all, making the wizarding world better and better is the common wish of Albus and I."

Grindelwald happily picked up the Coke on the table and took a sip, then stood up gracefully and extended an invitation.

"Let's not just sit here and chat. Why don't we go to the new town of Hogsmeade while the sun is shining and talk while we walk."

Sebastian readily accepted the invitation, stood up and walked out of the school with the two old men.

In order to avoid causing a sensation, Sebastian and Dumbledore both used Transfiguration to disguise themselves, and Grindelwald also turned back into the appearance of a middle-aged man.

During the holidays, there were no sightseeing buses outside the school, so the three of them simply walked and chatted along the road leading to Hogsmeade.

"Sebastian, I've also been touring the new city of Hogsmeade over the past two days."

"I have to say, this new city that incorporates your political and development ideas is very interesting, and the wizards are very happy here."

Grindelwald changed the subject and said, "Among them, I found something particularly interesting. There are several supermarkets specializing in Muggle supplies in this new city, and you are the boss behind them all."

"Most of the products sold in these supermarkets are food, clothing, and some basic living tools. Although they use our wizard currency, they are of good quality and low price."

"From what I understand, the prices of these items have been slowly decreasing since the opening."

"I'm curious, are you planning to be a philanthropist?"
