บท 6: The Interview (5)
"How is that possible? If the muggles won the war, they would kill all of us wizards!" exclaimed one of the portraits.
"No, you are wrong. After winning the war, the muggles will become curious about us, they would lust and envy our powers. Although this war would have proven that science and technology are no worse or even better than magic, their desires to become special or unique will get the best of them.
"As such, they will study wizards thoroughly. For a long period of time, I imagine that wizards will become nothing but experimental subjects, little lab rats in a laboratory. The muggles will try to find the source of the power of our magical powers.
"I believe that they will succeed. It may take him some time, but they will eventually succeed. After that, they will want to grant such power to muggles. And I also believe that they will succeed in that endeavor.
"Then, a brand new group of wizards will rise from muggle society. Let's call them Neo Muggle Wizards. These individuals will start to combine magic with technology, thus creating a brand new magical civilization. And with the large population of muggles, even if only 1% of them can actually turn into Neo Muggle Wizard, the number of wizards then will still be exponentially more than the current time.
"After that, the Neo Muggle Wizards--with their advanced thinking from science and technology--will also explore the universe and countless dimensions, thus creating a prosperous age or civilization of wizards."
"Preposterous! Absurd! The very notion of your words is ludicrous!" yelled Phineas Black, who seemed very agitated. All the other portraits had similar ideas as him, but they tried to remain calm.
"Calm down, Phineas," said Dumbledore--who was not as calmed as he appeared on the surface. "This is just a hypothetical future. There is no need to become so riled up."
Phineas Black then looked at Edward with a fierce look, then closed his eyes and shut off his senses. Or at the very least, it appeared to be doing so.
As for Dumbledore, he was a little shaken as this was the second time in his life that a powerful wizard warned him of the future danger of the Wizarding World.
His old friend had tried to use radical methods to deal with the problem, while the one in front of him seemed rather indifferent.
"Edward, you mentioned that this was one of the reasons that you gave up your ambitions, what is the other reason?"
Edward pondered for a few seconds before answering.
"It was because of my parents. After their deaths, I came to a realization: Voldemort did not kill them, but the Wizard World did. Voldemort is a result of all the things wrong with our society.
"Whether it is the wanton discrimination or racism of those pureblood theorists, the social inequality between muggle-born wizards, half-bloods and purebloods, the backwards mindset of wizards for millennia, or the superiority complex of most wizards towards other races--both magical and non-magical. All these problems resulted in the creation of Voldemort, thus leading to the death of my parents. In my mind, the Dark Lord was not the only person that killed them, but the wizarding world.
"Why would I lead this kind of people to create such a prosperous civilization? Are they worthy?"
The room became quiet again. Many of the portraits had a complex look on their faces as they looked at Edward, and they sighed to themselves.
As for Dumbledore, he also sighed before saying. "I'm sorry Edward about your parents, however, I do not think you should judge the entire wizard world because of a minority few. There are plenty of good-hearted people in the wizarding world willing to do good things. A perfect example is your parents. When Voldemort was in power, they rose to the occasion and fought for what is right."
"You may be right, professor. But do not forget that the 'minority few' that you talked about are actually the ones with all the power and influence in the wizarding world."
The room once again entered a brief period of silence.
As a matter of fact, Edward did not tell the whole truth. One of the main reasons that he did continue with his ambitions was because he realized that he did not really need the help of the wizarding world to accomplish his goals/
With his talent and relentless pursuit of magic, he strongly believes that he will one day discover the way to travel through dimensions and other universes. After that, his journey through the sea of stars and dimensions will begin.
He will pursue the path of magic until he becomes one of the most powerful wizards in countless dimensions and universes. His legend will spread throughout many realities, and he will be able to control his own fate.
And the first step of his grand plan will begin after he acquires the Philosopher's Stone. This is one of the reasons that he decided to come to teach at Hogwarts.
"Well Mr Bones, let's get back to the interview. So, for what reason you decided to come to teach here at Hogwarts."
"I have had many great memories in this castle. In many ways, it is a second home to me, so I thought of coming back. Furthermore, I have been lusting after the books in the Restricted Area, unfortunately, you always prevented me from entering there."
Dumbledore just smiled before asking a few other questions for the interview, then Edward left.
Dumbledore was left alone in the room with his thoughts, then Phineas Black said, "What a scary guy!"
"What do you mean?" asked one of the portraits.
"I do not believe for once that a person who can come up with such a goal and ideal to just give up like that. In most likelihood, he discovered a way to accomplish these things on his own," replied Phineas with a sneer on his face.
Then, the portrait of Dilys Derwent asked, "So, what are you going to do, Dumbledore? Are you going to hire him?"
บท 7: Material
After Edward left the headmaster's room, he used the Floo Network to return to a house he has in Hogsmeade. He did not want to go home yet as he knew that his aunt would reprimand him.
However, he also knew that his arrival would be in the headline of the Daily Prophet tomorrow morning, telling all wizards of his return. In this world, Edward is almost as famous as Harry Potter himself.
Later that night, Edward placed a hood himself, then Apparated to a deserted mountain, waiting for someone. A few hours later, it was not one person that showed up, but ten of them; all of them surrounded him.
Edward calmly took out his wand; it was 14 inches long made of Oak Wood with a sphinx core. With a wave of his wand, an invisible sword cut the closest person to him in half. This was Snape's Sectumsempra Spell.
All the other people were shocked by the sudden death of their companion. Then, all of them chant different incarnations, throwing more than 9 spells towards Edwards. However, he just waved his hand, then a semi-transparent shield appeared in front of him, blocking all the spells. Some of them were bounced back to the group.
However, the majority of them managed to use the Protego Charm to protect themselves, while the others moved out the way to dodge. Unfortunately for those who dodged, they were separated from the group.
Edward took advantage of this situation. He turned into a cloaking shadow and disappeared from the spot and reappeared behind one of the separated groups. A red light appeared from his white hand, making it look like a lightsaber.
With a swing of his wand, he cut the two people in front of him into two sections, leaving burn marks on their torso. Edward looked satisfied at this spell that he created because he was a Star Wars fan in his past life.
While Edward was a little distracted, someone used the Avada Kedavra Curse on him, thus a green light rushed towards him. However, he moved his body aside and dodged the attack.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the ground turned into metal spikes that turned the person that used the Unforgivable Curse into swish cheese.
At this point, Edward had already killed four people, which made the remaining six very nervous. One person decided to use Apparition to leave this place. However, with another wave of Edward's wand, a powerful pulling force appeared and intervened in this guy's apparition.
As a result, his head was separated from his body. Then, Edward tapped his hand in the air, following which, a strange vibration was released from his wand and blended in the void.
Then, the remaining five people discovered that it was impossible to Apparate and leave here. This was another invented spell of Edward after studying the Ant-Apparition Enchantment in Hogwarts' Castle.
The five people--knowing that they were not a match for this single hooded wizard--decided to band together. Then, they all said in unison, "Protego."
A large shield appeared by combining the power of all five of them. Edward frowned for a little after seeing this, then he said. "Bombarda Maxima."
Then, a powerful explosion was sent from his wand. The shield of these five wizards only lasted a few seconds, before it was blown to pieces along with them. Afterward, all that was left of these people were broken pieces of their bodies along with massive amounts of blood.
"Roberti, I know you are here, so show yourself," suddenly said Edward while looking in a certain direction. Following this, another hooded wizard appeared in the direction he was looking for.
"Edward Bones, my friend, it is nice to hear from you again."
"Roberti, if you do not give me an explanation, I can assure you that you will end up the same way as those wizards."
"My friend, you cannot blame me for being cautious. You have not contacted me for more than two years, then I suddenly received your letter."
Edward sneered at these words. He knew how these dark wizards think and behave. If you show them any form of weakness, they will not hesitate to betray and devour you whole.
"You know that this is not enough to convince me."
"How about doubling the material, however, you do not need to pay extra. Consider it my way of apologizing," replied Roberti.
"Fine."
Roberti then sighed in relief. Despite his calm façade, he was extremely terrified inside. He spent so many years and resources training these ten wizards to the level of Aurors. Adding on top of their proficiency in dark magic, they were more than enough to take on more than 15 ordinary wizards.
However, they were all annihilated in just a few minutes, and effortlessly at that.
After making sure that Edward accepted his proposition, Roberti waved his hand and ten people appeared on the ground. However, these people were chained and also incapacitated.
Edward walked to one of these people and pointed his wand at his head, "Reveal Yourself."
Then the person's head started to turn into a wolf, but before he could fully transform, he stopped. Then, he checked the remaining nine.
"All of them are werewolves that have committed many crimes and atrocities. You should be satisfied, right?"
"No problem," replied Edward calmly. "Then, can you remove your anti-Apparition spell?"
So, Edward waved his hand to do so. As he watched Roberti disappear in front of him, he thought to himself, 'It's time to get rid of Roberti. He is starting to become a liability.'
After thinking that, Edward took a bag from his cloak, and with a wave of his wand, all the werewolves were sent inside. This bag was enchanted with an Extension Charm.
Then, he placed his wand inside the mouth of the bag, "Accio Roberti's hair." Then, a black string of hair appeared in his hand.
Following this, Edward started chanting in a weird language while doing a strange dance. Then, he took out a white powder and blew it on the string of hair. A black shadowy like smoke appeared on the hair, then it disappeared.
This was a powerful voodoo curse that Edward learned when he one day accidentally teleported to Haiti in one of his magical experiments.
It required strict preparations beforehand and a ceremony to take effect. He had anticipated that Roberti might cause him trouble in the future, so be prepared for the worse.
Tomorrow morning, Roberti will be found with a look of horror on his face with his heart missing from his body.
After that, Edward used his wand again, then a powerful acid appeared, dissolving all the bodies and the blood clean, not leaving a single trace. Then with another wave of his wand, he used another spell to prevent anyone from recreating the scene that appeared here.
After finishing all of this, he apparated home.
