Chapter 40
Snape was a little distracted by what Peter had just said, and nodded his head to let Peter leave.
When Peter closed the office door and left, the Potions office fell silent, only the burning wood in the fireplace, making a crackling sound.
Dumbledore then wore a dark purple robe covered with silver stars and appeared in shape! He wore half-moon glasses and long silver hair scattered behind him. Coming to the silent Snape, he pulled out a sum of candy, “Severus, would you like to try the Duke of Honey’s latest cockroach pile?” ”
“No, I don’t eat this!” With a defiant face, Snape pushed open the box of cockroaches.
Then he looked up and looked directly at Dumbledore, “Is what Peter York said true?” The wizarding world hid itself to hide from Muggles? ”
Dumbledore retracted the cockroach pile with a pity face, picked up a cockroach sweet that was bouncing around alive, and put it in his mouth. In Snape’s disgusted gaze, he chewed up with satisfaction. Then he said slowly, “Mr. York, what you say may be exaggerated, but in general it is no different from the facts. ”
Snape couldn’t believe it, he didn’t expect it to be true! His throat was a little dry and he asked, “Then why hasn’t anyone said it for so many years, and didn’t the Ministry of Magic see this situation?” ”
Dumbledore stopped the cockroach pile in his hand, sighed inexplicably, and said, “In fact, someone foresaw this future a long time ago, so that person actively wanted to change this situation, and even I was once attracted to his ambitions!” But because of his radical theory, I parted ways with him and eventually went against him! ”
Since the fall of the man, the wizarding world has been evasive of this theory, especially the Ministry of Magic, which strictly prohibits the spread of this Muggle threat theory! They were afraid that this theory would lead to conflict and contradiction, causing the long-peaceful magical world to fall into the chaos of war again! ”
Dumbledore sat down in the chair peter had concocted and let out a comfortable sigh, “Mr. York, always surprised me, I didn’t expect his transfiguration talent to be so good, I think Professor McGonagall would be very happy.” ”
“When people get old, their bodies are very fragile. After standing for so long, my old bones were almost falling apart! ”
Snape was a little suspicious of the man he was talking about, and couldn’t help but ask, “Is it the Dark Wizard Grindelwald you are talking about?” After all, apart from Voldemort, the only one who could match Dumbledore was Grindelwald, who had been defeated by himself.
When Grindelwald was wreaking havoc in Europe and the United States, Grindelwald’s power did not touch England due to Dumbledore’s presence and the complicated relationship between the two men. So the wizards of England, although they knew the name of the first generation of dark devils, knew very little about him.
Hearing snape’s name, Dumbledore’s eyes were obscured by glasses, fluctuating slightly. He nodded, “That’s right, you weren’t born in that era, so you don’t know how appealing Grindelwald’s theory really is, and wizards all over the world aspire to that kind of life!” And he was very charismatic, and many people threw themselves into his ranks and formed the Witch Party! ”
“It’s just that his theory is too radical, and he wants to enslave Muggles through war and make wizards masters!” This makes some people unacceptable, and the Ministry of Magic cannot accept the existence of such a person who is above the Ministry of Magic! ”
“So the wizarding world has ushered in the biggest war in the wizarding world in history!” Even the Muggle world was triggered by World War II! Many people died in the meantime, and it was not until I made a duel request to Grindelwald and imprisoned him in Numengard that the war was terminated! ”
“But some wizards, influenced by this, began to pay attention to the disparity in power between wizards and Muggles, and they were not willing to accept such a fact!” Dumbledore’s eyes looked at Snape, “So when they saw another Dark Lord’s proposal to exterminate Muggles, they joined him!” I want to struggle one last time! ”
Hearing this, Snape’s originally calm face, somewhat awkwardly avoiding Dumbledore’s gaze, spat out a few words with difficulty, “Mysterious man! ”
Dumbledore nodded, “But these people are disappointed, Voldemort is indeed powerful, but he has always considered himself, and he does not have lofty ambitions like Grindelwald, nor does he care about the future of wizards!” Voldemort believed only in himself, and he didn’t want to enslave Muggles like those pure-blood families, but to enslave everyone, including his wizards! ”
Hearing the word slavery, Snape unconsciously touched his arm, where there was a mark that could not be removed! There was a time when he was honored by this mark, but now it was a shackle that could never be taken off!
Dumbledore noticed his condition, his voice slightly gentler, “Severus, it is never a shame to get lost!” Even I was once attracted to Grindelwald’s theory and almost went astray, but I was lucky enough to stop halfway! ”
“Whether a person is good or bad is never judged by where he comes from, but by what path he chooses and what he does!”
Dumbledore touched the upholstered chair under his ass and sighed, “Peter, this child, he reminds me of Grindelwald, just as gifted!” Just as far-sighted! And he is still so young, there is still room for growth! If cultivated well, it will be the future of the wizarding world! ”
“So Severus, I need you to guide him well, you are his dean, and he is not afraid of you, we can’t let this child go astray, otherwise it will be a disaster for the wizarding world!”
