Chapter 179: Chapter 176 - Conspiracies and Secrets (6)

Asterion sat elegantly with a cup of tea, enjoying the quiet of Dumbledore's office. Across from him, Morgan was adorably devouring a cookie.

Apparently, cookies had become her favorite food, so much so that the girl used her power of omnipotence to endlessly create cookies with different flavors.

When Asterion said the most diverse flavors, she really meant the most diverse, including cookies that tasted like chicken or even octopus. The flavors were so disgusting that Asterion thought of wiping out all chickens and octopuses from the face of the earth.

Dumbledore looked away from Morgan, glared at the boy and spoke in a slightly irritated tone.

"You look relaxed as the world slowly burns, Lord Black."

"I suffer an attempt on my precious life and you blame the victim, the world is becoming madder and madder." Asterion responded to Dumbledore's words with a calm tone, a smile playing on his lips.

"Humph!" Dumbledore couldn't help but snort coldly when he heard his reply, he knew very well that what had happened in Slovakia was pure nonsense and information control by House Black. Ordinary, naive wizards might believe the nonsense written in the newspapers, but powerful wizards and powerful families might actually know what had happened.

"But I have to say, keeping Rita Skeeter alive finally paid off, the woman knows how to whip up the masses. She's a good tool; when you die, I'll have her write a book about your life, Dumbledore. Everyone will love getting to know the real Albus Dumbledore." Asterion commented, bringing the cup to his lips, his smile not fading for a minute. He was obviously in a very good mood.

Hearing his words, even with over a hundred years of experience, Dumbledore couldn't control his features. His lips twitched unnaturally as the lines on his face tightened.

Dumbledore was sure that when he died, Rita Skeeter would indeed besmirch his name with the most vile and filthy words that mankind had created in ten thousand years of existence.

Dumbledore had to agree with Asterion that the woman had a great talent for writing, a talent that unfortunately tended toward evil, especially in Asterion's hands.

"Do you know how many letters have arrived on my desk since yesterday?" Dumbledore asked angrily, leaning back in his chair and stroking his own forehead. He had never seen such a pile of letters before!

For the first time in his life, Dumbledore wanted to pull out his wand and set fire to that hideous pile of paper.

"Just stick to the script, Dumbledore. They'll calm down, nobody really wants a third wizarding world war." Asterion smiled sarcastically and replied calmly. Not at all worried about his actions on foreign soil.

There have been two Wizarding World Wars, all at important times in the Gregorian calendar.

In the year 476, the First Magical World War took place. At that time, when the Witch Gods still existed, a devastating war took place between human and inhuman forces.

The reason for the war was simple: magical resources, which obviously weren't infinite.

The consequences of this war were obvious: the center of Western magical civilization - Rome - had fallen because of its great arrogance.

A civilization protected by witch gods collapsed like a sand castle, Rome burned as never before.

Of course, the side of the magical beings also suffered losses from which they could never recover. The Elder Dragons were practically extinct in this battle, these winged beings were considered the gods of all magical races.

In the end, what remained of the Elder Dragons were dragons with low IQs and almost no talent compared to their parents.

The Second Magical World War took place in 1453, and once again human and magical forces clashed.

But this time, the war was caused by rapid human expansionism. The magical creatures that had once populated the world were gradually being swept away by an indomitable and unstoppable river - humanity.

Hunted for the precious magical properties that their bodies carried, the magical beings once again started another magical world war, and the world collapsed into a myriad of wars that once again devastated the continent.

The result of the war was even more tragic, almost all intelligent magical races either became extinct, fled, were enslaved or signed a non-aggression pact with humanity.

Veela, goblins, house elves and centaurs were a good example of the aftermath of the Second World War.

Even if Asterion had made such a mess of things this time, the Third Wizarding World War wouldn't have happened. Speaking of the Wizarding World War, instead of being a battle between two factions like the previous two, the Wizarding World War III would be fought between humanity.

Of course, if Asterion had done what was done in France or Germany, the consequences wouldn't just be cards, but a declaration of war that would lead to World War III.

However, no one wants a war of that magnitude; the modern world is not the same as it was in centuries past. Such a war, no matter how hard they try to hide it, would eventually be discovered by Muggles, leading to something even more terrifying. The existence of cursed spirits is known to all of humanity.

Just to imagine the fear of seven billion people all at once, perhaps the most powerful cursed spirit in the world could be born, and a cursed spirit of that magnitude would not be so easy to exorcise.

But Asterion looked at Morgan and smiled softly as he stroked her hair. With Morgan, he wasn't as worried about the existence of the wizarding world being revealed, and thus the truth about the Cursed Spirit.

Dumbledore noticed the affection and kindness in Asterion's eyes and looked at the Cursed Spirit eating cookies. He couldn't help but think of an absurd possibility.

Wasn't Asterion in love with his own Cursed Spirit?

Even with more than a hundred years of experience, he never thought that his mind would ever be capable of such an absurd idea.

"Even if it's impossible for Asterion to fall in love with a Cursed Spirit, I must still prepare Asterion's marriage to Daphne as quickly as possible." Dumbledore thought as he looked carefully at Asterion. He had always believed that a gentleman would not stand under a falling bridge. He'd better prepare himself and prevent something so absurd from happening.

"Even if they don't want a third world war, they can still force sessions against England. A lot of people were unhappy with you attack in Europe." Dumbledore commented, sipping his tea with lemon drops.

"That really is a problem... but one that's easy to solve. Tell them I can exorcise a Special Grade Cursed Spirit for free for any country nearby." Asterion spoke calmly, smiling elegantly.

His words made Dumbledore narrow his eyes and look at Asterion a little more cautiously. Asterion's suggestion was very good indeed. Inviting a Special Grade Wizard wasn't cheap at all, and besides, exorcism work was practically tailor-made for House Black.

Not only would they earn money, but they would also get another cursed spirit, so there was no downside, and even if Asterion worked for free, he would still get a Special Grade cursed spirit!

What's more, his reputation would spread even further around the world, earning him the goodwill of many witches and wizards around the world.

Asterion's proposal killed two ducks with one shot. This made Dumbledore more cautious with the fourteen-year-old. Arcturus had taught the boy well.

Chapter 180: Chapter 177 - Conspiracies and Secrets (7)

Still in Dumbledore's office, Asterion looked curiously at the beautiful red and gold bird on the perch.

A phoenix.

Unlike the Elder Dragons, which were extinct, the Phoenix and the Unicorns were still alive and well. Although the two races were not as intelligent as the Elder Dragons, they were not to be underestimated.

Both races had their own unique magic that no other race in the world possessed, with the Phoenix being able to pass through any Anti-Apparition spell and its immortality. The unicorn could sense if someone was pure or not and could run away as fast as the wind.

The Phoenix, called Fawkes, looked at Asterion and then at Morgan, its wariness of the girl most obvious. The bird showed a very human fear in its feathered face.

This caused Dumbledore to narrow his eyes in thought; although he knew that the cursed spirit in the form of a girl was not normal, he hadn't expected even one of the purest creatures on the planet to show fear and caution.

Feeling someone tugging at his clothes, Asterion looked to the side and saw Morgan pointing at the Phoenix and then at his own mouth, his big red eyes looking at him with a look of expectation.

The intention was obvious, to eat Fawkes.

How could Asterion not understand what Morgan was trying to say?

Looking at the girl who looked at him expectantly, Asterion replied in a soft tone. "No, you can't turn Fawkes into cookies and eat him."

Morgan gave him a slightly angry look and ate the cookie in her hand with ferocious bites, her eyes occasionally glancing at the red and gold bird.

Dumbledore couldn't help but twitch his lips at the sight of the two of them interacting. Turn Fawkes into a cookie and eat him? What a greedy, cursed mind!

Dumbledore cleared his throat loudly and spoke calmly, adjusting his glasses that were sliding down his nose. "I suppose you want to know the result of the interrogation."

Asterion nodded and waited silently for his words.

"Patricia cooperated as you said and talked about some secret R-bases in England and some in other countries, as well as some information about hierarchy and history." Dumbledore said with a dissatisfied look on his face. "Unfortunately that was all, the R organization is very cautious even with its high ranking members."

Asterion wasn't surprised, this was an organization that was still alive after a millennium, not a secret club of college friends. If it were that easy to find, it would have been destroyed long ago.

"And Pilgrim?" Asterion asked, narrowing his eyes. He had handed the man over to Dumbledore the day before, he must have already known the result of the torture.

Adjusting his glasses again, Dumbledore showed an amused smile playing on his lips. "I didn't get much information from the man, he had taken an Unbreakable Vow, a vow taken by all members with Semi-Special and Special degrees."

Asterion's eyes lit up as he listened to the man's words. "Looks like you've got quite a problem on your hands."

Dumbledore laughed at his words and nodded. "This information alone says that the other side has special class wizards."

"That's normal, it's a thousand year old organization. Force was the strongest form of protection in the world." Asterion commented, bringing the goblet to his lips and drinking the entire contents in one go.

"I know all the known Special Grade mages in the world, I have a few suspicions about who they might be, but they're just that, suspicions." Dumbledore placed the cup in the fire and spoke with an amused smile on his lips. He hadn't expected to be able to participate in something so interesting at the end of his life.

"We will have our answer at the Geneva Convention, where all the Special Grade wizards will gather to discuss the new treaty restricting the actions of Special Grade witches and wizards." Asterion spoke, his eyes shining for a moment. This would be the first convention he had ever attended, a meeting with all the Special Grade wizards of the world gathered in one place.

Dumbledore nodded in agreement with the boy's words, he knew that this Geneva Convention would be very interesting, England would be attending with two wizards and one witch of the Special Grade.

Albus Dumbledore, Asterion Black and Rose Potter.

With Rose and Asterion, England became extremely powerful in a short period of less than ten years, surpassing many nations.

"Did he say anything else?" Asterion narrowed his eyes and asked with a calm expression. His eyes looked at Dumbledore with a penetrating gaze.

Dumbledore laughed at the boy's sharp words and replied calmly. "Apart from a few interesting things about me, nothing very relevant to you, Lord Black."

Asterion snorted coldly, not believing a word of what the man in front of him was saying.

"Albus, as arrogant as ever." A male voice was heard above the two wizards.

Dumbledore and Asterion raised their heads to see a portrait of a middle-aged man wearing a very nice suit.

"Ancestor." Asterion greeted the animated portrait of the man with an elegant smile.

Dumbledore just stared amusedly at the image of the former headmaster of Hogwarts.

Looking into Asterion's red eyes, Phineas stroked his beard and looked very pleased. Because of Dumbledore, he already knew the glorious deeds of this descendant of his.

Phineas felt nothing but pride at having another red-eyed bearer in House Black.

"Boy, remember, don't trust that old fox, no Hogwarts headmaster is easy." Even though he was restricted from saying certain things, Phineas still warned his offspring. He didn't want his precious offspring to be betrayed on a dangerous occasion.

"Your words hurt my feelings, Headmaster Black." Dumbledore spoke with a slightly offended tone as he smiled gently.

"Humph!" Phineas just snorted coldly and didn't believe a word of what Dumbledore said; of all the wizards and witches who had held the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts in the course of its thousand years, Albus Dumbledore was by far the strongest and most cunning after Rowena Ravenclaw.

"Thank you for your warning, Great-Great-Grandfather." Asterion smiled teasingly at Dumbledore and thanked his ancestor for his concern. But then again, he had never trusted Dumbledore, the man was far too manipulative to gain his trust.

"Since my business is done, I will take my leave." Asterion said, getting up from his chair and leaving the office, holding Morna's hand.

When the door was closed, Dumbledore looked at the animated portrait of Phineas and spoke in an amused tone. "I thought you were going to tell your precious offspring the secret of Hogwarts."

Phineas seemed offended by Dumbledore's words and replied with all the elegance and arrogance of a Black. "Like all the Headmasters before me, I have taken an oath never to reveal the secrets of Hogwarts. Besides, my dear descendant does not need to know the terrible secret this school hides in its bowels."

"How honorable of you." It was Dumbledore's turn to mock Phineas.

"But I really want to know how, in Merlin's name, this organization called R managed to discover this secret that only the Headmaster of Hogwarts knows." Dumbledore spoke, leaning back in his chair, his face terribly grim, an expression shared by Phineas and all the animated portraits in the office.

"You need to check the seal again, Albus, perhaps the seal is weak and the white thing has woken again." Phineas said with a voice full of dignity.

At the thought that the monster had awakened and was about to break out of the seal, the dead former Headmaster of Hogwarts' face turned pale. It wasn't for nothing that he was afraid, this creature had almost destroyed the entire island of Great Britain!
