Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Dumbledore and Grindelwald (Part 1)

"I thought I could choose the world freely, but it turns out it's all just a matter of luck." Upon truly entering the dimensional space, Daniel Davis understood why dimensional space exploration is considered extremely dangerous.

The concept of a multiverse and infinite universes is not wrong, but most of these worlds are void. Finding a space with life in such a vast number of dimensions depends largely on luck.

"Finally found one." After an unknown amount of time spent in the dimensional space, evading countless dangers, Daniel finally discovered a world with life ahead.

Sizzling.

It was as if he had returned to his early days at Kamar-Taj, learning magic with only sparks flickering in his hands. To open a portal to the world ahead, he would need more time.

"Now I understand why Dormammu had to be summoned to appear on Earth." The barrier of the dimensional space is extremely solid. Theoretically, jumping from one universe to another is very difficult.

Especially for large creatures, breaking through this barrier is nearly impossible. In contrast, smaller creatures can more easily penetrate this barrier, much like the dimensional monster the Guardians of the Galaxy fought at the beginning of the second movie.

"I wonder what kind of world it will be." After finally opening the portal, Daniel immediately crossed over.

"Ah!" As soon as he stepped through, he felt himself falling rapidly.

"Damn." Looking at his position, about a hundred meters above the ground, Daniel cursed inwardly and quickly thought of using a portal to land safely. However, the spell for the portal didn't work. Luckily, he reacted quickly, activating his Ant-Man suit to shrink himself.

Bang.

Around twenty meters from the ground, he felt as if he had hit an invisible barrier, bouncing off it repeatedly before finally landing. Dizzy and disoriented, he recovered and removed his helmet, looking confused at the dark, somewhat dilapidated castle on the nearby hill.

"This is a protective shield." Pressing his hand against the invisible barrier, Daniel was astonished by the pressure he felt.

"Young man, this is not a place you should be." A voice, both unfamiliar and aged, startled him. Turning to the source, he saw a tall, thin old man with long silver hair and a long beard, dressed in a peculiar white robe and holding a strange wooden wand.

"Who are you?" After a moment of silence, Daniel drew a Desert Eagle from his Ant-Man suit before speaking.

"Expelliarmus." The old man pointed his wand at Daniel, and a powerful force disarmed him, causing him to drop his gun.

"I am Dumbledore," the old man finally said.

"Expelliarmus, Dumbledore... is this the Harry Potter world? And that's a wand." The name Dumbledore stunned Daniel.

"Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts?" After a long pause, Daniel asked.

"This is not a place you should be," Dumbledore said, staring into Daniel's eyes. His wand pointed at Daniel, seemingly ready to cast a spell.

Realizing the situation, Daniel quickly formed a seal with his hands, summoning a golden magic shield two meters in diameter in front of him.

Unable to use portals and facing Dumbledore, Daniel had no intention of hiding his strength.

"Wait, I don't know what this place is. I came here by accident," he said from behind the shield, pulling out another Desert Eagle.

"This is not a place you can come to by accident." Dumbledore's frown deepened as he examined the golden shield, recognizing it as a form of magic unfamiliar to him.

As headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore was highly knowledgeable about magic, but this was something entirely new.

"I made a mistake during a teleportation, and I ended up here."

"I believe you, but this place cannot be exposed. I need to use a Memory Charm on you, just to make you forget about this place." Dumbledore's eyes bore into Daniel's as he spoke.

"Sorry, but I won't accept any memory-related magic," Daniel said, taking out a box and placing a miniature missile on the ground, restoring it to its original size.

"I know I'm not your match, but I'm not without means. You know what this is, right?" He said, cursing his luck internally.

This Harry Potter world was perfect for him, offering magical knowledge that complemented Kamar-Taj's system. While the attack magic might not be powerful, it was certainly fascinating.

But facing Dumbledore right off the bat was unexpected.

"I know, a Muggle weapon, banned by the Ministry of Magic." As someone dedicated to maintaining peace between the magical and non-magical worlds, Dumbledore recognized the weapon.

"I promise not to reveal anything about this place. Let's both just walk away."

"Is that weapon really so powerful that it frightens you?" Another old voice spoke from the side.

Turning, Daniel saw an elderly man with a pale complexion and tattered clothing but an air of dignity, appearing on the other side of the barrier.

"It's a weapon comparable to a large-scale spell," Dumbledore explained to the old man.

"Muggles can now create such terrible weapons. One day, the Muggles you protect will destroy the wizarding world," the old man said, his face darkening.

His words left Dumbledore silent.

"Come in and talk. By the way, I am Grindelwald," the old man said, turning his gaze to Daniel.

"Damn." Grindelwald's self-introduction made Daniel step back.

Now he understood why Dumbledore wanted to erase his memory. This was where Grindelwald, the dark wizard, was imprisoned. Dumbledore didn't want this place's location to be revealed.

Just as Voldemort had Death Eaters, Grindelwald had followers. If this place were exposed, Grindelwald's followers would surely come.

If it were Voldemort, Dumbledore might simply kill him. But Grindelwald was his lover, so he couldn't kill him.

"Alright." After a moment of silence, Daniel agreed to Grindelwald's proposal. With Dumbledore present and no portal available, there was no escape.

Kamar-Taj's teleportation magic has a flaw: in a different world, the dimensional space must be re-established before it can be used.


Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Dumbledore and Grindelwald (Part 2)

Nurmengard was the castle Daniel had seen earlier; it was also Grindelwald's prison, built during his uprising as a gathering place for his followers.

In this aspect, Grindelwald was far superior to Voldemort, who didn't even have a base of his own and had to borrow the Malfoy Manor for Death Eater meetings.

"Am I lucky or unlucky?" Daniel muttered to himself as Dumbledore and Grindelwald went upstairs, seemingly to discuss something.

Although Dumbledore was not in front of him at the moment, Daniel had no intention of escaping. Nurmengard was surrounded by a protective barrier, and without spatial transmission, there was no way he could outrun Dumbledore.

Daniel wasn't too worried about his safety. Dumbledore generally wasn't one to kill indiscriminately; his greatest fear was the Memory Charm.

Before long, Dumbledore and Grindelwald came down and positioned themselves on either side of Daniel, forming a triangle.

"Can you tell us your origin?" Grindelwald was the first to speak.

"I am from the East. A spatial teleportation error brought me here," Daniel explained, crafting a plausible story. He couldn't reveal that he came from another world, at least not now. Given his Eastern appearance, pretending to be Chinese was plausible, though it wouldn't withstand thorough investigation. However, claiming to be from the East was different.

Wizards had very little interaction with the outside world. While Hogwarts was renowned worldwide, it was still just a magical school in England. It couldn't possibly know every detail about Eastern magical communities.

Anyone else would likely be exposed immediately by Dumbledore's Legilimency, but Daniel wasn't afraid of it. The magic system of Kamar-Taj was particularly effective against such abilities.

"You should know that wizards are not allowed to use Muggle items arbitrarily," Dumbledore said.

"I know, but I believe this rule is completely irrational. It might have been fine a century ago, but now, this rule will eventually lead to the downfall of the wizarding world."

Daniel knew the core of the disagreement between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, so he tailored his argument accordingly. Under no circumstances could he allow Dumbledore to use a Memory Charm on him, or he might end up living an ordinary life in this world forever.

In theory, with his current strength, a typical Memory Charm shouldn't work on him. Even if it did, he would quickly regain his memories, but Dumbledore was different.

"I think you know that the wizarding world's living space is shrinking, and with the continuous advancement of technology, the likelihood of exposure is increasing. Only by understanding Muggle items can we better protect the wizarding world."

Daniel's words made Grindelwald nod in appreciation.

"This will lead to a war between wizards and Muggles," Dumbledore retorted, opposing Grindelwald's agreement. This was the core of their historical conflict.

"Hasn't this war already happened once? Both sides barely survived the last time, but if it happens again, we might not be so lucky."

Before Dumbledore could respond, Daniel continued, "Don't say you're trying to avoid this war. The current actions of the wizarding world are just escapism. The wizarding world has been avoiding this for a millennium. How much longer can it hide? A hundred years? Two hundred? One day, the wizarding world will no longer be able to remain hidden, and then the war will begin."

"You see more clearly than a child. If we had joined forces back then, we could have changed everything," Grindelwald said excitedly.

"That would have resulted in many deaths. Too many people died back then."

"That would still be better than the complete extinction of the wizarding world."

Both Dumbledore and Grindelwald fell silent. As two of the wizarding world's greatest minds, their beliefs were not easily swayed. It was precisely because of this that they had dueled.

"I believe everything will improve in the future," Dumbledore said after a long pause, raising his wand again.

"Improve? That's a laughable notion. You said that to me years ago. Now tell me, what has changed?" Grindelwald stepped between Daniel and Dumbledore as Daniel retreated a few steps.

"Over the years, the only thing that has changed is the Muggles' weapons."

"The wizarding world does not interact with the Muggle world, yet you expect both sides to have friendly exchanges in the future. Isn't that absurd? If you truly want change, you should gradually reveal the wizarding world to Muggles, letting them know about the magical world instead of using Memory Charms whenever something happens."

"When the East and West first made contact, what was the catalyst? War. Although many died, at least now they can communicate as equals. How can Muggles and wizards communicate if the Muggles don't even know about the wizarding world?"

Daniel's words left Dumbledore in doubt. In terms of magical knowledge, Dumbledore far surpassed Daniel. But in terms of ideology, Daniel was ahead.

He had studied Chinese historical texts and philosophies extensively, albeit initially out of interest in the historical drama "The Qin Empire."

Though these were just grand principles, in this world, they were fresh ideas.

Both Grindelwald and Dumbledore sought to change the wizarding world. As two of the few wizards with top-tier intelligence, they saw further than most.

To most wizards, the idea that Muggles could harm them was laughable. They were content with their superiority, even with international wizarding laws in place to protect Muggles. The term "Muggle" itself reflected a sense of superiority, as it was used even in legal contexts.

They had forgotten the wars between wizards and Muggles in the Middle Ages and the First and Second World Wars.

The reasons for the World Wars in this world originated from the wizarding world.

Grindelwald, being radical, wanted to take control of the entire world, making the exposure of the wizarding world irrelevant.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore, being an idealist, clashed with him, leading to their confrontation.

It was an extraordinary coincidence that the two most powerful wizards, both homosexuals, met. Such odds were incredibly rare, yet they happened. It was fate's twist.

Compared to Grindelwald, the dark lord, Voldemort was merely a powerful terrorist.

"Wait, I think you've misunderstood my point." Seeing Dumbledore still ready to act, Daniel hurriedly said, "My solution to the wizarding and Muggle worlds' problems is different from what you think."
