Hogwarts: Where the Pokémon Are

June.

Not long after Xia Lin received the letter, the seventh and fifth grade wizard level exams finally ended.

The weather is getting hotter.

The entire Hogwarts is now completely enveloped in enthusiasm for the upcoming Pokémon Contest!

Some time ago, the students who were preparing for the wizard level exam were frantically practicing battles these days so that they could make up for the time they lost not long ago.

The enthusiasm of the students was almost as high as the hot weather, almost as much as it was time for the Quidditch match.

McGonagall and Flitwick complained more than once that the young wizard could no longer focus on the final review. Even Snape was very dissatisfied with this and his face turned darker than before during class. Harry also suffered a lot of unnecessary disasters.

The United States Ministry of Magic's attempt to intervene in the investigation did not have much impact on the competition. After all, they have not found any evidence yet. Even if they want to put Xia Lin on trial, that will have to wait until the competition is over.

Dumbledore expressed some concerns about this, but he was always partial and promised to defend Xia Lin when the time came.

However, Xia Lin's actions may indeed break the law of confidentiality, which also makes Dumbledore have doubts about his actions.

Once the law of secrecy is broken, it can have a huge impact on the wizarding world. Dumbledore did not look down on Muggles because he was a wizard, because he knew deeply that from the beginning, the law of secrecy was used to protect wizards.

Before the Statute of Secrecy was implemented, in the fifteenth century to be precise, Muggles had carried out many persecutions against wizards.

At that time, although many adult wizards were not afraid of Muggles, and some even enjoyed the feeling of being roasted on the fire, it was different for wizard children.

Little wizards who could not control their magical power well had no power to fight back against Muggles, not to mention that at that time there was no school in the world that taught them how to use magic.

Therefore, even an adult wizard can't say how much magic he knows.

But Muggle witch hunts are carried out by dozens or hundreds of people.

Now, although the overall power of wizards is stronger than before, relatively speaking, the power of Muggles is even stronger!

Thanks to his old lover, Dumbledore still knew something about Muggles' weapons of mass destruction. Once the law of secrecy was breached and conflict broke out again between Muggles and wizards, the blow to the wizards would be devastating. sexual.

Now, the two of them and other professors were standing at the door of the school, preparing to welcome guests from afar. At the same time, taking this opportunity, Dumbledore was also talking to Xia Lin.

"When I was young, I used to hate Muggles very much." His face was calm, and there was no sign of pain or anything else in his eyes. "I guess you already know something about it, but I believe you won't mind me. This long-winded old man looks back on the past."

Xia Lin nodded, so Dumbledore continued. Behind them, the other professors seemed not to hear their conversation. It seemed that Dumbledore had used magic to isolate the voices of the two.

He actually doesn't like to talk about the past with others. This is tantamount to adding salt to his own scars.

"You know my sister, she was once discovered by several Muggle children while she was performing magic, and she was treated cruelly. She became an Obscurial. My father attacked those children in order to avenge her. Muggle children.

"He certainly used the power of magic, for which he was sentenced to Azkaban for violating the Statute of Secrecy.

"But at that time, I didn't hate Muggles too much, until I met Gellert later." He avoided talking about the feelings that he was ashamed to talk about, and continued.

"He is extremely talented, and many things are refreshing to me. Under his influence, I began to hate Muggles. Although I quickly realized this mistake, I have made many plans for Gellert.

"Later, after he and I parted ways, he acted according to the blueprint we set back then, causing huge riots around the world."

"Gellert treats Muggles and wizards as two different species. He attempts to overturn the International Statute of Secrecy and establish a benevolent new global order led by wise and powerful wizards and witches. Of course, in fact, his process is a bit different. Not kind either.”

At this point, Dumbledore sighed.

"A new order led by wizards sounds like it's more beneficial to wizards, and there are still so many people who want to oppose him?" Xia Lin asked curiously.

"This is why he can get the support of so many people - for the greater good." Dumbledore said fondly.

"However, here's the problem - this world has been ruled by Muggles for too long. What will happen if a group of people claiming to be wizards suddenly appear? Not to mention that this group of people is trying to control the discourse. Muggles cannot Accept that such a group of people exists.

"Furthermore, I can honestly say that although Muggles don't know magic, they are much better at war."

Actually, this is true.

For hundreds of years, wizards have been living in isolation in corners of the world, joining groups in twos and threes to stay warm, all they want is peace and freedom from destruction.

What will happen once the law of secrecy is overturned and the wizarding world is completely exposed?

Especially under Grindelwald's radical ideas, the war between Muggles and wizards is inevitable.

"I think we really need to be more careful when contacting Muggles. Once the confidentiality law is broken, we may not be able to bear the consequences," Dumbledore said.

This pretty much represents his position, but Xia Lin actually disagrees with him.

Avoiding Muggles can only be a short-term escape. As Muggle technology becomes more and more advanced, the wizarding world will one day be exposed. At that time, the wizard will have no initiative at all.

But although this is Xia Lin's idea, he actually doesn't plan to worry about it. What does the future of the magic world have to do with him? He didn't care what would happen after so many years.

"Dumbledore, I don't care about the conflict between Muggles and wizards. In fact, I will never let Muggles know that I can do magic."

"Promoting Pokémon and exposing wizards have never been the same thing."

"Pokémon is not equated with the wizarding world. It was me who brought the Pokémon to the magical world. It was not the Pokémon that was exposed from the magical world to Muggles. This is the difference."

Hearing this, Dumbledore just nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, a small black spot appeared in the distant sky.

"It looks like someone has already arrived."

Dumbledore took the initiative to end the conversation.
