Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 254: What the Prophet Grindelwald Foresaw



Gellert Grindelwald stared at Dudley for a long time, then sighed and shook his head slowly.

"Son, what's your name?"

Grindelwald did not immediately refute his statement, which was beyond Dudley's expectations. He originally thought that Grindelwald's radical attitude towards Muggles would be that he would advocate that wizards are superior to others.

Dudley hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it, he felt that there was no need to hide his identity in front of Grindelwald.

"My name is Dudley Dursley."

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows and said with interest: "You said you went to school at Hogwarts...so you are a British wizard, right? But I don't seem to have heard of the surname Dursley. ..."

"I was born into a Muggle family, and my aunt is a witch."

"Oh I got it."

Grindelwald noticed Dudley's gaze, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said slowly in a weak voice: "Don't get me wrong, I don't have any opinions on Muggle-born wizards, although I don't know how people outside describe me now. , but I’m not a purist.”

Dudley narrowed his eyes. Grindelwald's straightforward confession was beyond his expectation.

Grindelwald turned his head, looked out the iron window at the sky where lightning and thunder were thundering, and said softly with great emotion:

"A young wizard from a Muggle family actually possesses such powerful magic. In any case, the lineage theory is undoubtedly a cliché that has been proven wrong, but -"

Grindelwald changed the topic and turned to look at Dudley with complicated eyes.

"Dudley, does this make you too siding with the Muggles?"

"I don't agree - or I don't completely agree with your point of view. Even if there is an all-out war with Muggles, wizards still have ways to win."

Dudley was shocked, not because Grindelwald denied his point of view, but because it seemed from Grindelwald's words that he just didn't fully agree, which meant that he had accepted the possibility of Muggles defeating wizards. .

Dudley originally thought that Grindelwald's attitude toward Muggles was contempt and hatred, but looking at it this way, Grindelwald was a more complicated character than he imagined.

As if he had read Dudley's thoughts, Grindelwald's mouth corners raised slightly, then he sighed and said slowly.

"Don't be surprised, Dudley Dursley. It's not that I know nothing about Muggles' technological progress and weapon power. On the contrary, I foresee that Muggles have mastered so many terrible things that they can't control with their stupidity. After using the weapon, he impatiently tried to stop it all, and ended up in this end."

Grindelwald's few words changed Dudley's view of him drastically. Dudley also remembered that Grindelwald was a prophet, so in the Fantastic Beasts series, he also foresaw the obscurity of New York. Then he came to New York under a pseudonym.

In this way, Dudley's doubts about Grindelwald's various unreasonable operations back then were also solved.

Back then, after Grindelwald obtained the Elder Wand, he had almost overwhelming power in the magical world. He even established Nurmengard and gathered an army of his own. There was no doubt that he had established his own branch and established The embryonic form of political power.

According to Dudley, the normal approach should be for Grindelwald to first enhance his reputation, hide his true purpose, obtain the support of the International Union of Wizards, and then gradually expand his influence and bring all of Europe under his control. .

By that time, Grindelwald will be the leader of the world's wizards, so he can naturally vigorously promote his ideas. It is not impossible to even use his influence among wizards to directly amend the Wizarding Secrecy Act at the International Federation of Wizards. .

Albus Dumbledore, on the other hand, did not actively fight against Grindelwald due to his blood alliance and past relationships. As long as Grindelwald maintained his superficial image and promoted his plan by boiling frogs in warm water, Dumbledore would have nothing to do with it. Doubts only turn a blind eye to his actions.

However, Grindelwald gave up his steady approach and suddenly became reckless and radical. He allowed his subordinates to cause a large number of terrorist attacks in Europe, and even took the initiative to risk his own life and come to New York alone, just to obtain peace and hemp. The weapon of melon fighting is silent.

This approach undoubtedly pushed the International Federation of Wizards and Dumbledore to a dead end, and they were forced to react to Grindelwald's behavior - as a result, because Grindelwald did not consolidate his foundation , resulting in that once he was defeated by Dumbledore, his unformed regime immediately dispersed, and even his base of Nurmengard became his own prison.

But this is also very strange. In the original work, Dumbledore once said in front of Fudge that he could easily escape from Azkaban, and Azkaban is considered the strongest prison in the world. So from Newmont? The difficulty of Gad's prison break is definitely much lower than that of Azkaban.

Judging from the fact that Grindelwald is a powerful wizard equal to Dumbledore, even if he lost the Elder Wand, Grindelwald should have countless ways to escape from Nurmengard.However, Grindelwald has remained obedient in his prison for so many years. This is certainly not just because of the intimidation of Dumbledore in England.

Originally, Dudley had always had doubts about these issues, but now that he was sure that Grindelwald was a prophet and had predicted Muggle weapons, he finally understood Grindelwald's thoughts.

The answer is Muggle World War II, or nuclear weapons to be precise.

If Grindelwald, as a prophet, foresaw the power of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he must have understood that this was a killing weapon more terrifying than any curse. Once this weapon was abused, the wizards on this planet would undoubtedly Buried with Muggles.

Therefore, in order to prevent the birth of nuclear weapons, Grindelwald was forced to impatiently implement his plan when he was still in his infancy, trying to unify the wizarding world and prevent the development of nuclear weapons by bringing Muggles under his control. Birth.

If you think about it carefully, although Grindelwald had been violating wizarding laws and caused a large number of terrorist attacks in the Muggle world in Europe, he attempted to declare war on the Muggle government and killed countless innocent people.

But the Muggle regime at that time was the German state. From this point of view, although he was undoubtedly a butcher with many crimes, his imaginary enemy was also an equally bad regime.

The reason why Grindelwald became disheartened after being defeated and stopped trying to escape from prison was also found.After all, he probably already knew the news about the dropping of the atomic bomb when he was in Nurmengard. Knowing that everything was irreversible, Grindelwald naturally lost the will to make a comeback.

Everything can already be explained.
