Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Dumbledore and Grindelwald (End)

"Grab my arm," said Grindelwald to Daniel Davis outside the protective shield of Nurmengard Castle after Dumbledore had left.

"Apparition?" Daniel immediately grabbed Grindelwald's left arm.

Who knows what Grindelwald and Dumbledore had discussed, but when they reappeared before Daniel, Grindelwald had a wand in his hand. With a wand, this prison could no longer hold him.

In the world of Harry Potter, having a wand versus not having one makes an immense difference—far greater than the difference between an ordinary person with or without a gun.

Upon grabbing Grindelwald's arm, Daniel felt as if he was spinning through space. When he reappeared, he was on a very old-looking street. The people on the street were mostly dressed in black robes, and a sign told him this place was Diagon Alley.

Outside Nurmengard Castle, shortly after Daniel and Grindelwald had left, a golden portal silently opened. A figure in yellow robes stepped out, revealing a bald head when the hood was lifted. It was the Ancient One, who had also arrived in this world.

Daniel would never have imagined such a thing.

Gringotts, the wizarding bank.

After bringing Daniel to Diagon Alley, Grindelwald headed straight to Gringotts. Upon presenting his credentials, the goblin staff became very respectful.

"Vault 444." After navigating the complex underground tunnels, Grindelwald and Daniel arrived at this vault. Grindelwald took a large amount of gold coins from it—gold Galleons.

"A Non-Traceable Extension Charm, huh?" Daniel guessed the situation immediately upon seeing a small bag hold so many coins.

This charm was something Daniel was very eager to learn. The most impressive example he remembered was Newt Scamander's suitcase—it was simply amazing.

"Is there anything you want to buy?" Grindelwald asked with a smile after they left Gringotts.

"A wand," Daniel replied after some thought.

In the world of Harry Potter, wizards are entirely dependent on their innate talent. You are either born a wizard or not; there's no way for ordinary people to become wizards.

Judging by Dumbledore and Grindelwald's attitudes, Daniel was certainly a wizard, not a Muggle.

Whether he was born that way or it was because he practiced the magic of Kamar-Taj, Daniel wasn't sure. He tended to believe it was due to his Kamar-Taj training.

Although Kamar-Taj sorcerers engage in physical combat with weapons, the principles of Kamar-Taj magic are incredibly high-level, almost divine, which is something the Harry Potter world, with its innate talent dependency, can't compare to.

Ollivanders, a historic wand shop, supplies most of the wands used in England.

Daniel was curious why people in this world didn't buy spare wands.

"He needs a wand," Grindelwald said directly upon entering the shop.

Hearing Grindelwald, Ollivander carefully examined Daniel before selecting a wand from the many boxes and handing it to him.

"This is ebony wood with a core of dragon heartstring from the Orient. Try it out."

Bang.

As soon as Daniel grasped the wand and gave it a wave, an invisible shockwave burst from its tip.

Magic doesn't always require incantations. Attacks like the one Daniel just performed are common in wizard duels, where there is no time for chanting spells. Using such attacks to buy time for spellcasting is a common tactic.

In other words, this kind of attack can be considered a magic power impact, which, being pure magic, usually has weaker power.

Next, they visited Flourish and Blotts. Daniel purchased all seven years' worth of Hogwarts textbooks and several books on wizarding history and notable figures.

Though his requests were unusual, the store still sold them to him, likely because of Grindelwald.

The two then Apparated directly to King's Cross Station.

Though curious about Diagon Alley, Daniel figured he could explore it later. For now, he needed to show Grindelwald some results from his plan.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald weren't fools; they were among the smartest people in this world. Though Daniel's story had many holes, the plan's potential made them overlook these flaws.

Just as Grindelwald said nothing when Daniel bought a wand and all the magic books.

These items were quite expensive—his wand cost six Galleons, one less than Harry Potter's.

This amount seemed small but was actually quite costly. Most people in this world only have one wand for life, probably due to the expense.

Look at Ron, who had to tie his broken wand back together, causing spells to backfire.

Not to mention the cost of those magic books, which were several times more expensive than the wand.

After leaving King's Cross Station, Daniel led Grindelwald around. Wizards generally knew little about the Muggle world, especially Grindelwald, who had been imprisoned for decades. Even with occasional updates from Dumbledore, they were focused on the wizarding world.

"First, we need to exchange money." Daniel had brought a lot of gold bars, which can be considered a universal currency across multiverses. The reason gold is used, probably, is due to its unique properties.

Gold isn't just currency; it's also a raw material.

Thanks to the teachings of Ada, Daniel knew how to handle the money exchange smoothly.

"The technology level of this world is too low," Daniel remarked after buying a house in London and investigating the world's technology. He was disappointed, even though he had tried to keep his expectations low.

"Magic has suppressed technological development," he realized.

"Looks like I wasn't lying to Coulson," Daniel laughed as he looked through the books on magical history.

Famous scientists like Newton and Einstein were all wizards, and even the development of the atomic bomb had a major wizarding influence.

After learning the basics of magic, Daniel understood why this was. Though this world's wizards rely heavily on innate talent, they still follow a principle: the smarter you are, the more likely you are to become a wizard.

Talking with Grindelwald about his and Dumbledore's past, Daniel suddenly thought of the striking similarities between Grindelwald and Dumbledore's relationship and the rivalry between Red Skull and Captain America.

In this world's WWII, Grindelwald was essentially the Red Skull.

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Hogwarts (Part 1)

"So, this is magic. Wingardium Leviosa." Daniel Davis set the magic book aside on the table and picked up the wand with his right hand, gently reciting the incantation. As he moved the wand, the feather on the table floated up and drifted around as he directed it.

Since it was the summer holidays at Hogwarts, Daniel hadn't immediately gone to start his position as the Muggle Studies teacher. Instead, he stayed in London to study magic through the books.

With Grindelwald, a wizard of Dark Lord caliber, nearby and his exceptional memory, Daniel's magic skills improved rapidly.

In just a few days, he had nearly completed the first-year Hogwarts curriculum, focusing primarily on charms, excluding subjects like Potions and Herbology.

Daniel's rapid progress was mainly due to his background as a Kamar-Taj sorcerer.

In the Harry Potter world, casting spells seems to require no visible magic circles, but they are indeed necessary, though unlike the visible ones used by Kamar-Taj sorcerers.

One significant challenge in learning these spells is shaping the magic, a concept Daniel had already mastered at Kamar-Taj.

All spells are essentially about shaping magic. Different spells involve different forms of shaping.

Focus, determination, and composure.

These three elements crucial for learning Apparition apply to all forms of magic.

For example, when using the Levitation Charm, you must believe you can make the object fly. If you don't think you can do it, the spell won't succeed.

The same goes for unlocking charms.

"This is what a true sorcerer looks like," Daniel remarked, casting the Aguamenti charm to conjure water into a cup, from which he took a sip.

Compared to Kamar-Taj sorcerers, who engage in close combat with weapons, the wizards in the Harry Potter world seemed more like traditional sorcerers.

Over this period, Daniel only learned a few spells: Levitation Charm, Unlocking Charm, Aguamenti, Scouring Charm, and Reparo.

For someone as lazy as Daniel, Scouring Charm and Reparo were practically divine abilities.

The reason he learned only these spells was that he primarily focused on dimensional magic. Restoring his ability to use portals and mirror dimension spells in this world was crucial for his survival.

While attuning to this world's dimensional space, Daniel realized that once he established a connection, his Kamar-Taj magic would become even stronger.

Dimensional magic truly requires crossing dimensions to become more powerful.

Moreover, establishing a connection with this world's dimensional space was an essential step for learning Apparition. Without this, he couldn't master Apparition.

Every world has its own rules, and so do the surrounding dimensional spaces.

Another reason was that he hadn't dedicated all his time to learning magic. With Grindelwald occasionally offering guidance and not questioning his plans, Daniel couldn't ignore the plan he had mentioned earlier.

Initially, Daniel's plan was a means to escape from Dumbledore and Grindelwald, but after days of investigation in London, he realized it might actually be possible to accomplish.

As he had previously said, worst case, he could build a spaceship and leave the planet.

Investigating the Muggle world was essential for his plan, and familiarizing Grindelwald with it was also necessary. So, over these days, Daniel took Grindelwald to various places in London.

They visited television stations, cinemas, schools, factories, and even witnessed some of the world's weapon capabilities.

The biggest issue with wizards is their reluctance to understand the Muggle world, even top wizards like Grindelwald.

"Who would have thought the Muggle world could understand magic like this," Grindelwald commented, conjuring a cup of water himself.

"Everything follows its own rules. Magic is just a way of mastering these rules earlier than ordinary people. As long as the Muggle world persists, they will eventually uncover everything." Daniel explained that the Aguamenti charm seemingly conjures water but actually manipulates hydrogen and oxygen in the air to create water.

Daniel had also visited university labs, buying top-tier equipment for this world, though it was outdated compared to what he usually carried. His advanced equipment wasn't suitable for public use.

Using these devices, Daniel demonstrated water synthesis to Grindelwald. Compared to magic, this method was cumbersome, but it showcased the power of technology to Grindelwald.

Most magical phenomena were hard to explain with technology, though Marvel's advanced science could account for a large portion.

For example, the Undetectable Extension Charm could be explained using Pym Particles.

Even partial explanations left Grindelwald astounded.

"Your first step is this." Grindelwald handed Daniel a newspaper, one that Daniel had recently purchased. Along with the newspaper, he had acquired a telephone company and a film company.

"Fear stems from the unknown. Once you unveil this layer of mystery, everything becomes clear." If this world developed to the level of his original world, even revealing magical schools like Hogwarts wouldn't cause much chaos.

People would rather believe they are Muggles than deny the existence of magic.

Fans even organized Quidditch matches. Though lacking the magical charm, these matches still drew interest.

Daniel intended to replicate these ideas. He had purchased a newspaper to publish magical-themed stories and hired novelists in London to write romance stories between wizards and Muggles.

Writing Harry Potter novels in the Harry Potter world.

Making Harry Potter movies in the Harry Potter world.

The thought made Daniel chuckle every time.

He genuinely considered this plan. After dealing with Voldemort, he might produce films with real wizards, making the special effects truly magical.

"Now, it's up to you to withstand the pressure from the wizarding world and give me the space to develop. This transformation will take at least ten years."

The wizarding world's Memory Charms were a significant obstacle. Large-scale Memory Charms, like Newt's in New York, could nullify all his efforts.

For Daniel, now armed with a wand and spells, the rest of the Harry Potter saga was optional. He could return to the Marvel world and continue learning at his own pace.

But that would be too dull.

In the Marvel world, Daniel had to keep a low profile due to the numerous powerful beings. However, in this world, once he established a connection with the dimensional space, few could threaten him.

Voldemort might be powerful, but Daniel didn't need to match his magic. A missile strike would suffice.

Even without missiles, a Gatling gun would do.

With the Undetectable Extension Charm, the ammunition problem was solved, making it feasible to wield a Gatling gun with endless ammo.

Given this, Daniel wanted to see if his plan could truly transform the world, finding great satisfaction in such an accomplishment.
