A certain Hogwarts esoteric leader

"Grindelwald is a very talented man," Professor Binns said. "I don't think he is an evil person in the strict sense."

"Not an evil person in the strict sense?" Yunieff frowned. He felt that Grindelwald had gone too far.

Attack him, raid the Leaky Cauldron, and kidnap Endless.

Although I saw the scene of Grindelwald treating Endresi last night, if he hadn't kidnapped Endresi, Endresi wouldn't have suffered this torture.

Yunieff clearly distinguishes the cause and effect.

But Professor Binns said: "Yes, although there may be some personal emotions in it, because he is very similar to a person I know, but in terms of motivation, he is just a person who was dazzled by his ideals. .”

He added: "Moreover, his ideals have been basically shattered now, so he locked himself in Nurmengard."

Yunieff couldn't help but ask: "What is his ideal?"

Professor Binns smiled and said, "Overthrow the International Statute of Secrecy and establish a benevolent new global order led by wise and powerful wizards and witches."

"Mercy?" Yunieff had to notice that this word was really inconsistent with his impression.

"Yes, mercy." However, Professor Binns affirmed, "He predicted World War II in the Muggle world. In that prediction, he saw the cruel war of the Muggles, and what was reflected in that war, It’s no longer the childish thing it was before the [-]th century, but a power that’s better than a wizard.”

He looked over and said solemnly: "You may not quite understand and think that Muggles are a weak race, but in fact, Muggles have spread to every corner of the world. But we wizards only occupy a small corner. .”

Yunieff smiled and said, "Professor, I am a Muggle."

Professor Binns couldn't help but look at him several times and said, "That's convenient, otherwise I wouldn't have any way to explain it. After all, I can't cast a spell now."

He continued: "In short, Grindelwald predicted this terrible power. He believed that if Muggles with this terrible power one day realize the existence of the wizarding world, they will inevitably bring disaster to wizards. .”

Yunieff thought about it and felt that Grindelwald's worries may not be unreasonable.

Although wizards are still far superior to Muggles in some technologies, the gap in population base between the two has already determined that technology will definitely develop faster than magic.

You know, there are only more than 40 freshmen at Hogwarts this year. Even if they are all geniuses, there will only be more than 40.

And how many geniuses are there in the Muggle world in a year?

He nodded in agreement.

Professor Binns said: "This prophecy was widely circulated at the time and sparked widespread discussion in the wizarding community."

"At that time, there were two trends of thought that were rampant. The first trend was to further strengthen the Statute of Secrecy and completely isolate the wizarding world from the Muggle world. Generally speaking, the Ministry of Magic in various countries is more inclined to this idea."

"The second trend of thought is to break the Statute of Secrecy and use World War II as an opportunity to establish the dominance of wizards on a global scale. This is Grindelwald's view."

At this point, he instinctively reached for the tea cup on the table, but suddenly stopped, as if realizing that he was a ghost, and sighed.

"Which view would you support?" he asked, tilting his head.

Yunieff thought for a moment and said, "I don't support any of them."

Professor Binns adjusted his glasses and seemed a little surprised. He paused and asked, "Can you tell me the reason?"

Yunieff expressed his thoughts: "Complete closure and isolation do not exist. Muggles will discover wizards sooner or later. It is only a matter of time. However, even so, the wizard group cannot be destroyed. On the contrary, it will be treated as a special Those with abilities will receive preferential treatment. The living standards of wizards will even be improved by several levels."

Professor Binns was speechless. After a while, he said: "Perhaps this is the most normal idea. But at that time, Grindelwald and the Ministry of Magic of various countries did not think about this."

Or rather, I don’t want to think about it.After all, Yunifer thought, this would be equivalent to being accepted by the Muggles.

To put it simply, it is a downgrade.

Thinking of this, he sighed insignificantly.

People will be bound by such illusory things, and he himself will be like this sometimes. Even if he has the idea of ​​lying down in his heart, he still can't do it in practice.

Professor Binns continued: "In short, Grindelwald has attracted a group of supporters with his ideas and charisma. In the eyes of those people, Grindelwald is the patron saint of the wizarding world."

"The patron saint cannot be evil," he said. "But the question is, who are the people he attracts?"

"He attracted radicals. He was a radical himself, and his organization became a radical organization."

"And radicals are often a minority. The vast majority of wizards are still happy to live under the protection of the International Statute of Secrecy."

"Grindelwald saw this too."

He paused, as if waiting for Junifer to ask a question.

Univer was also very considerate: "Did Grindelwald also see this?"

Professor Binns happily wanted to pick up the tea cup, but his fingers passed through the cup again.

He sighed and said: "Grindelwald also saw this, but he still insisted on believing that World War II was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once missed, it would never happen again, so he still launched untimely violent reforms. "

"So, of course, he failed. Although his power was at its peak, countless wizards also lost their peaceful lives because of him. These wizards all became his enemies. In that case, no matter how strong he was, , and there is no spare energy to stir up trouble in the Muggle world."

"In 1945, World War II ended. Grindelwald also lost what he thought was the best opportunity. All that was left in front of him was the internal fighting among wizards."

Professor Binns looked out the window, and it was already dark outside.

He said: "It was also that year that Dumbledore took action and defeated Grindelwald."

Yunieff tasted it carefully and looked at Professor Binns: "What do you mean?"

Professor Binns waved his hand and said, "It's just a personal guess. I have never asked Dumbledore what the specific situation is."

"However, you should probably understand why I say that Grindelwald is not an evil person in the strict sense."

Yunieff nodded.

"So," Professor Binns smiled, "I'm quite surprised that you said it was Grindelwald's people who attacked you."

"Not to mention, his followers back then have dispersed and become very old. Even if there are still some left, there is no reason to attack you."

"I think that even if there are ten Obscuras in front of Grindelwald, he may not be tempted, because for him, the most important thing is not the power, but that his ideal has completely lost its foundation. .”

Yunieff looked at the fire. The fire was burning fiercely and showed no intention of extinguishing.

In fact, he is now even more certain that Grindelwald did everything.

Because Grindelwald really wasn't interested in him, he just used him as bait to lure away the Ministry of Magic.

In addition, the dark wizard who attacked him was an old man, and even the dragon was an old dragon.

The Leaky Cauldron completely collapsed, but no one was injured...

It fits perfectly with Grindelwald's message.

In addition, Endreich is indeed in Nurmengard.

It's Grindelwald, there's no mistake.

But the question is, if Grindelwald is not interested in power, why did he take Endresi away?
