Chapter 49: Dumbledore and Grindelwald (Part 3)

"Leave this planet?" Upon hearing Daniel's so-called plan, Dumbledore and Grindelwald were completely dumbfounded.

Indeed, this was Daniel's plan: simple yet incredibly bold. Even the two top figures of the wizarding world didn't know what to say.

"This is just the ultimate plan. In fact, this era is the best and last chance for the wizarding world to integrate with the Muggle world," Daniel continued to bluff.

In a crisis, human potential is limitless, much like how Iron Man created a miniature arc reactor and the first Mark armor in a cave. Now, trying to avoid conflict with Dumbledore, Daniel had thought of several ways to address the wizarding world's current situation.

Leaving the planet would be difficult for the wizarding world but not impossible for Daniel. In a few years, obtaining a spaceship wouldn't be a big deal for him. At worst, he could provide Dumbledore with one or several.

"Why do you think that?" Grindelwald asked sternly.

"Because I've seen a glimpse of the future," Daniel said calmly. "If this opportunity is missed, there will be a war between the two sides, and there will be no victor. This war will destroy this planet."

The idea of the planet being destroyed was a lie, but ruining humanity's living environment was true.

In the wizarding world, there are wizards who can prophesy. Daniel wasn't afraid of being exposed because he did know some future events. With his resilient soul, even Dumbledore's Legilimency wouldn't work on him, let alone others.

Grindelwald was probably a seer himself, as his actions were driven by visions of the future.

"You should be aware of the Muggles' ultimate weapons. Once war breaks out, regardless of which side loses, the final result will be the activation of these ultimate weapons, leading to mutual destruction. We must prevent this."

The saying "barefoot people are not afraid of those who wear shoes" rings true here. Nations prohibit smaller countries from possessing nuclear weapons for a reason, especially those that produce terrorists who don't care about humanity's interests or survival.

"Tell us your plan," Grindelwald said, not asking about the future Daniel had seen.

"It starts with the current state of the wizarding world." After a long pause to organize his thoughts, Daniel began speaking.

Fortunately, he was familiar with the Harry Potter world; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to fool these two top figures of the wizarding world.

This world was different from Marvel. The number of sorcerers in Kamar-Taj was very small, so they could remain hidden. Even when exposed, it didn't matter much, given the diverse power systems in the Marvel universe. Aliens, gods, and sorcerers were all part of the mix.

In Harry's world, wizards were numerous enough to form their own society, making it impossible to hide everyone.

In fact, the governments of the Muggle world were aware of the wizarding world. The Auror profession was established to cooperate with Muggle governments, primarily targeting rogue wizards.

There were plenty of dark wizards in this world, given the number of magical schools and their isolationist tendencies. Many with magical talent had to rely on self-study.

In this regard, Hogwarts was quite open-minded, even with its Slytherin house.

Other schools were worse than Hogwarts.

Even in the so-called land of the free, the USA, there had only been slight improvements in recent years. There, discrimination against Muggles was even worse than in England, where they were called "No-Majs."

Before any reforms, American wizards couldn't befriend or marry No-Majs, a restriction not found in England.

Had Daniel not encountered Dumbledore initially, he might have become a dark wizard, relying on self-study through various magical books since he was too old to enroll in a school.

Finding a teacher wouldn't have been difficult for Daniel, especially considering a certain individual who was currently a rat.

"Basically, it's a plan to advance or retreat. The worst-case scenario is leaving the planet, ensuring the wizarding world's survival and the preservation of the planet," Daniel concluded.

His knowledge from past discussions and debates about magic versus technology was finally useful.

Talking about these things with others might be futile, but it resonated with Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

"Of course, I don't have the ability to implement this plan."

"What do you think?" Grindelwald asked after a long silence. Even with his wisdom, he needed time to process everything Daniel had said.

"This..." Dumbledore hesitated. The plan would require careful consideration even from him.

"Are you still hesitating? Do you really want to wait for another war?"

"I will contact others to discuss this matter," Dumbledore finally decided. "Since you proposed this plan, come to Hogwarts and be a teacher."

"What?" Daniel was stunned.

"You will teach Muggle Studies, sharing your knowledge of the Muggle world with our students," Dumbledore explained.

Daniel's plan's first step was to educate current wizards about the Muggle world. Compared to adults, students were more open to changing their views.

"Agreed," Grindelwald nodded.

"Alright," Daniel agreed, given the circumstances. Dumbledore was right; to teach wizards about the Muggle world, no one else was better suited than him.

Muggle Studies was a subject both the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts had, but it was mostly a formality, with wizards, including those from Muggle-born families, not taking it seriously.

"The position might attract Voldemort's attention. I'm not sure what the current timeline is, but it doesn't matter. If Voldemort does come, it's his bad luck."

Only because it was Dumbledore did Daniel refrain from using force. If it were Voldemort, he would have launched a missile without hesitation. Even if it didn't kill Voldemort, Daniel could escape.

"Hogwarts... Although I'm not going as a student, it doesn't matter." As Dumbledore and Grindelwald left to discuss matters, Daniel became excited. Coming to the Harry Potter world and not visiting Hogwarts would be a waste.

Being at Hogwarts would offer more opportunities to learn magic than being a wild or dark wizard, especially in the fields of herbology and potions, where Hogwarts excelled.

As for what Dumbledore and Grindelwald were discussing, Daniel could guess: whether he could be trusted. As top figures in the wizarding world, they couldn't trust him easily. However, his words aligned with their desires, leading to the current outcome.
