Chapter 529: Charles Wentworth's Rise (I)

The document revealed everything Charles did after arriving on this timeline during the Marauder Era. Lily, James, Potter, and Snape were only in the fifth year, and Voldemort was rampaging worldwide, gathering followers.

After arriving at this timeline, Charles had many things to do, the first of which was to learn magic. Due to Edward's contract, he forgot everything he learned from the Empire, including basic knowledge about Wandcraft Magic.

So, Charles's first order of business was to get his hands on books. However, he had no money, including muggle dollars for exchange. So, he removed the shackles of morality, stole money from some muggles, exchanged them for Galleons at Gringotts, and bought the first and second-year books from Hogwarts.

With his ability [24-Hour Call Back], it did not take him long to master all the magic theory knowledge and basic spells. However, he knew it was not enough; he needed a deeper understanding of magic for his plans to succeed.

So, Charles secretly stole all the books in Flourish and Blotts. After all, he was a Tier 1 Arcanist, and most wizards were only Tier 0 Apprentices. Furthermore, Charles was a mage, not a wizard, making using Wandless Magic easier.

After getting the knowledge he desired, Charles had a basic plan for his future. The first problem he needed to solve was that he was not a wizard, and his body could not produce mana. He tried to recreate the Meditation Method of the Empire; however, that is something Hermione spent years creating while having access to countless knowledge and resources, so he failed miserably.

Charles realized the best way to fix his problem was to inject a bloodline into his body, turning into a wizard. He at first rejected the idea of injecting a magical bloodline into his body, knowing there would be danger.

So, Charles began to study magic, focusing more on bloodline theory. He sneaked into Hogwarts and copied their library; the task was easier since Dumbledore was busy fighting Voldemort with his Order of Phoenix.

Charles also raided the library of other magical schools across the world and the library of many ancient families.

"This guy unknowingly walked the same path as me," commented Edward after reading to this part. He never revealed this news to the public, so it's impossible for Charles to know what he did and copy it.

'However, I still did it better.'

Charles did not think magical knowledge would be in the muggle world, so he ignored places like the Vatican–Edward did not. Moreover, many of the wild theories muggles had about magic, witchcraft, and rituals inspired him, so he wanted these books.

After acquiring all these books, Charles had a basic foundation to change his bloodline. But magic research takes time–unless you're a unique genius like Edward. However, his talent only allowed him to learn knowledge faster. Although it did help for him to receive his research result 24 hours in the future, it was still not enough since he could not use his ability many times.

Additionally, he could foresee that his strength won't increase much in a long time. So, Charles used the greatest lesson he learned from the Empire–use the power of many to help him ascend to a higher level.

He used the Imperius Curse and other black magic to control people and countless muggle scientists across the world. He then revealed the existence of magic to them, along with giving them access to his library.

He had only one objective–to use these people's help to advance his magical research. His approach was successful, and Charles's bloodline injection research made progress after experimenting on plenty of dark wizards and even muggles death rows.

However, three years had passed, and the research was far from finished. Furthermore, Lily and James had graduated from Hogwarts, while Snape became a Death Eater. He knew it wouldn't be long before these two died.

His plan was to save Lily Potter and slowly plan how to lure her into becoming his wife. Furthermore, he wanted to use Voldemort's death to become famous in the Wizard World and secretly gather power.

As such, Charles decided to take risks. He directly injected the bloodline into his body. As for the consequences of death? He did not care because he could return to 24 hours into the past.

In the end, after hundreds of attempts, failures, and deaths, he successfully injected the blood of the basilisk inside his body, becoming a wizard. Charles' first step had succeeded; his body could now produce mana.

However, he had to face another challenge–the Bloodline Limit or the three Limiters. Since his mana had already reached Tier 1, it could be considered he had broken the first limiter. However, he still needed ways to break the second and third limiter, reaching Tier 3.

Luckily, Edward did not completely wipe out his memories and knew information like he needed different methods to break the limiters, and each method needed to be better than the former.

Charles knew the easiest method he could get his hands on would be to inject a second bloodline. However, he researched this method for the second limiter while searching for another method.

Luck was on his side, so he soon found the answer in all his knowledge. Knowledge about the limiters was known to certain ancient families–including Dumbledore, as he once suggested to Edward to walk this road instead of experimenting with bloodline, and the first and original method was only basic training of mana. After repeated training, it's possible to break the limit; the only downside to this method is that it takes time–which Charles did not lack.

So, after a few years of practice, Charles broke the second limiter and reached Tier 2. In this world, he was now on par with Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and only Voldemort was stronger than him, but only by a small margin.

(AN: Remember, Voldemort was also Tier 2, but his mana was 60 times that of an ordinary wizard instead of the normal 50 of normal Tier 2.)

Once his strength reached a certain level, Charles began to appear in the Wizarding World, leading a battle against Voldemort. Dumbledore was suspicious of him, so he invited him to the Order of Phoenix to keep watch on him, but that's exactly what Charles wanted; he had a legitimate reason to get close to everybody–especially Lily and James.

Then, on the night of Voldemort's death, he ensured he was at the Potter's house. Charles ensured he was in the bathroom when Voldemort arrived and killed James.

Then, he arrived and fought against Voldemort, losing but saving his life. Finally, Lily cast the Spell of Love, and Voldemort died by the rebound of his spell. Charles used an already prepared dark magic to save Lily's life by injecting life force into her body and also preventing her soul from entering the Afterlife.

In the end, things went as he wanted. James died, Voldemort died, and Lily and Harry were saved. Only a handful of people doubted him, but there was no proof.

After this event, Lily and Charles could be considered the savior of the Wizarding World. Then, Charles began to enact his plan. During a solemn meeting of the Order of Phoenix, he had a "mental breakdown." talking about how the Wizarding World has not changed for so many years, resulting in the birth of people like Voldemort and the death of innocent people like James.

He declared changes needed to happen, and many people chastised him, saying his thinking was similar to Grindelwald and even Voldemort. Charles apologized, and people forgave him, thinking he could not accept what happened to James and this war.

However, Charles's objective was achieved–creating a reason why he changed so much in the future while also laying a seed in certain people's minds.

Then, he proceeded to the next step.


Chapter 530: Charles Wentworth's Rise (II)

After Voldemort's death, Charles began his rise to power. However, he did not walk a path similar to Voldemort and Grindelwald, blatantly gathering followers to do his bidding. No, he followed a more official path.

He ran for the Minister of Magic in the British Wizarding World. With his strength and status as a hero who participated in Voldemort's downfall, his reputation was at an all-time high.

Dumbledore was suspicious of Charles–especially since he came out of nowhere; the identity he created for him was suspicious, but there was never enough evidence to show his true colors. 

As a result, Dumbledore did not grant him his full support, but he did not condone him, remaining neutral.

Charles' campaign slogan involved radical change for the Wizard World. He talked only about innovation, improvement, and a better future for all wizardkind–no matter the blood.

Most factions in Britain supported Charles. The mixed-blood and muggle-born wizards saw hope for a better life in the wizard world, while the pureblood worshiped Charles's strength and his promise of power.

As for Dumbledore? Although he felt many of Charles' ideas were too radical, he also agreed with many of them. So, he still remained neutral. In the end, Lily supports Charles, and as the savior of the wizarding world, she has much power and influence.

Charles became the minister and was even voted the most popular Minister in the history of Britain.

After taking office, Charles began to deliver on his promises. His first order of business was to modify the state of education in the British Magical World. He created a more rigorous curriculum that focused on establishing a great foundation for all future wizards.

Certain classes, like Alchemy, that were not mandatory, became so. He found a real teacher of Divination and taught children basic knowledge on the subject. He searched for people with real talent for the craft and developed their ability.

He innovated the Muggle Study Class and taught wizards what it's truly like to live in the Muggle World. Charles wanted to prepare for the eventual integration between wizards and muggles.

He created government-funded research programs to encourage wizards to innovate and create; the Ministry of Magic would greatly compensate anyone who innovated magic and created new spells, potions, or magical artifacts.

Charles secretly went to influence Arthur Weasely to modify his flying car. Afterward, Charles was not punished according to the Misuse of Muggle Artifact Office. Instead, he publicly awarded him for his innovative mind and even granted him plenty of wealth.

For the next ten years, Charles's effort not only allowed Britain to recover from the years of war but it also created a prosperous wizarding world. During this time, Charles had done many things, including fusing with a second bloodline and reaching Tier 3.

Despite his strength, Charles did not eliminate Dumbledore, not that he did not want to. However, out of fear of him, Dumbledore walked the same path he did with Edward; he found a way to use his phoenix to reach Tier 3.

Dumbledore reached Tier 3 before him, making Charles more weary than the latter and also more cautious. In the end, he decided not directly to confront the old man. However, it's also a fact that the headmaster's existence was a pain to his future plan.

So, he decided to use an indirect method of eliminating him. He secretly released the information that Voldemort had made Horcrux. As expected, Dumbledore began to search for them and came upon the Gaunt's family.

Like in the books and movie, Dumbledore could not resist putting the ring on, resulting in him being cursed. Charles had also secretly augmented the curse, ensuring the old man had no chance of surviving. After that, he only needed to kidnap Grindelwald, who was the only remaining person who could affect his plans.

Dumbledore did not survive more than a month. The only thing the headmaster could do before his death was destroy the Elder Wand, but Charles did not care. Although he felt the wand was powerful, he knew it was not impossible to create a better one in the future.

So, in February 1990, Dumbledore died, and Charles's ambition had no one to stop him.

His next step was the International Confederation of Wizards. He rallied all the Ministers or governing bodies of the different wizarding worlds, convincing them to create a unified Magic Council that rules the entire magical world.

The process was both easy and difficult. The easy part was that Charles had already infiltrated the Ministry of Magic of most countries in the world; many of the current Ministers of Magics were his people, and he spent ten years ensuring they were in that position.

Through money and the assassination of political opponents, he succeeded in his actions. So, when he offered the plan, most of the upper echelons of society agreed. However, the backlash was from the population with different nationalities and a sense of belonging.

This was the trouble, but Charles was patient. He used the Magic Council to replicate his success in Britain. He improved the lives of wizards, brought development and civilizations to them, and increased the overall productivity and happiness of the magical communities across the world.

This process took him another ten years, but by the year 2000, Charles' prestige and power were enough that there would be only little trouble if he called for the establishment of the Magic Empire. Now, he only needed it for the correct time.

Charles' next step was on the muggle side. Unfortunately, that's when his trouble began. He did not focus much on the Muggle World but still used its power. Over the years, he has been secretly controlling scientists, politicians, and the rich and wealthy. However, Charles did not know his existence was already known by certain people–including his ambitions.

There is a special group of muggles who have been aware of wizards and guarding against them. Edward had to deal with them, but Charles's situation was worse since these people spent more than 20 years waiting and preparing.

So, when Charles focused his fangs on the Muggle World, a war broke out between the two sides.

The war lasted for five years. The Muggles had secretly cultivated many Muggle-born wizards to be on their side, and with the use of magitech similar to Arthur Weasley's flying car, the war was devastating.

Countless muggles and wizards died. Unfortunately, the wizard population paled in comparison to wizards, so the final result was more devastating to them. The only good thing about this war was Charles had a good enough reason to establish the Magic Empire.

With a common enemy, such a process was easy. Unfortunately, Charles did not want the wizard to become the enemy of muggles. He knew their population was too small, and in the future, wizards would also be the main source of wizards.

In the end, Charles won the war after successfully reaching Tier 4 and ruling the entire planet. More than 15 years have passed since the war, and the hatred between wizards and muggles has not abated.

On the contrary, wizards have become the highest class of society, creating a strict social hierarchy.

"If Charles doesn't fix this problem, it's only a matter of time before there is another war," commented Edward. According to the file, Charles has been trying to fix this issue.

The Mage Path created by Hermione showed no signs of appearing in this world, so he focused on Bloodline. He created ways to infuse muggles with magical animal bloodlines. Sadly, the success rate is abysmal.

Edward shook his head and focused on something else. The last note from the agent was that Charles, the Magic Emperor, was about to conduct a dangerous experiment using the Time Room from the Ministry of Magic. The agent wanted to check it out, but it seems he never returned.

"It seems that I have to see Charles," muttered Edward with a dangerous light in his eyes.
