Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

Hearing Grindelwald's words, Sebastian didn't deny it, but calmly nodded.

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

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

"I just couldn't stand your shrinking and timid appearance before. If you had been so generous earlier, I might have been willing to come out and help you."

Narrow-minded?

Heh—

You were quite generous back then, with followers all over the wizarding world, but what was the use?

Dumbledore still suppressed you forcefully.

Sebastian curled his lips almost imperceptibly.

If I were as flamboyant as you, I would have been regarded as your successor by Dumbledore before I could even build a team.

You must know that Dumbledore, who has experienced two wizarding wars, is at his most sensitive.

Before I can beat him, I must boil the frog in warm water and slowly dispel his doubts.

Now that the time is ripe, I don't even need to mention it, and Old Dumbledore himself is willing to help me.

You were able to be called out by Old Dumbledore entirely because of me, and now you're complaining about me.

"Everyone has their own method," Sebastian smiled, "Muggles have a very classic saying: 'Whether it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can catch mice, it's a good cat.'"

"If I had carried out reforms drastically from the beginning, as you said, Headmaster Dumbledore would definitely have guarded against me like a thief."

Hearing this, Dumbledore's old face turned red.

Why bring me into the conversation?

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

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

"You keep mentioning Muggles in your words, what, do you admire Muggles so much?"

"Admire?" Sebastian said meaningfully, "Not just admire, but also revere."

"They are developing too fast, faster than we can imagine."

"Actually, I am very unwilling," Sebastian's tone was a bit sighing.

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

"We started studying astronomy long ago, but until now, there are no footprints of us wizards in space."

"What we are ahead of Muggles is being gradually caught up and surpassed by them. Mr. Grindelwald, tell me, how can I not admire them?"

That's right, wizards are being surpassed by Muggles, and I have never denied this.

Moreover, Sebastian didn't say everything, especially the development of Muggles in terms of war.

Back in the Père Lachaise Cemetery, I showed my followers the steel torrent of Muggles. Decades have passed, and their weapons have become even more advanced.

"Sebastian," Grindelwald's tone became serious, "Since you revere Muggles, why do you still want to break the Statute of Secrecy?"

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

"It is protection, but it is also a shackle," Sebastian said firmly, looking directly into Grindelwald's eyes.

"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 against our magic;"

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

In Sebastian's eyes, the Statute of Secrecy in the wizarding world is a bit similar to the closed-door policy he learned in his previous life.

At that time, the government was immersed in the dream of the Celestial Empire, and regarded everyone as younger brothers.

It was not until the great powers opened the country with their strong ships and cannons, and constantly ceded land and paid compensation, that they slowly woke up from their dreams.

Sebastian, who has experienced the pain firsthand, naturally does not want to see wizards immersed in their own world, completely unaware of the vastness of the world.

"So," Sebastian's voice was steady and powerful, "I choose to actively break the Statute of Secrecy and let all wizards open their eyes to see the world."

"Go fight! Go grab! While we still have the advantage, establish our wizard's transcendent position."

"After all, actively seeing the world and being forced to look at the world after the Muggles open the door to the wizarding world are two completely different perspectives."

"Oh," Grindelwald asked expressionlessly, "What if it fails?"

Fail?

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

Hearing this, Grindelwald laughed heartily.

"Haha, that's nice to hear. I'm very glad you have such awareness. If you want to be a flag bearer, you must have the domineering spirit to risk 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 also the common wish of Albus and me."

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 not take advantage of the good sunshine and go for a walk in the new Hogsmeade, and then chat while walking."

Sebastian gladly agreed to the other party's invitation, stood up and walked out of the school with the two old men.

In order to prevent a sensation, Sebastian and Dumbledore both disguised themselves using human transfiguration, and Grindelwald also turned back into the middle-aged man he was.

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

"Sebastian, in the past two days, I also took a stroll around this new Hogsmeade."

"I have to say, this new city, which integrates 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 a particularly interesting place. Several supermarkets specializing in Muggle products have been opened in this new city, and the bosses behind them are all you."

"Most of the things sold in these supermarkets are food, clothing, and some basic living tools. Although they use our wizarding currency, they can be described as good quality and low price."

"According to my understanding, from the opening to the present, the prices of these items have been slowly decreasing."

"I am very curious, are you planning to be a philanthropist?"
