Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 409 New Action Plan
July 1994 ended and the summer vacation was half over.

Charles was packing his luggage in his room. Dumbledore stood at the door and asked, "Where are you going?" while reading the paper he had just written.

"Moscow," Charles replied. "I have something very important to do. I may not be able to make it back when school starts."

Dumbledore shook his head and said, "You are very busy."

During the days when Charles finished writing his thesis, he attended the award ceremony of the second Decryption Challenge and the opening ceremony of the Decryption Forum, reported to the leaders of the Ministry of Magic on the preparations for the werewolf antidote testing, went to St. Mungo's Hospital to learn about the preparatory work, had dinner with the Minister of Magic and several other senior officials, and held a high-level meeting at the company yesterday.

After reading the paper, Dumbledore said, "I think this paper is ready for publication."

He was very serious at first, but his eyes went around in circles when he saw the data analysis. Fortunately, the relevant charts were easy to understand, and he finally understood it.

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "It would be better if you leave for a while. The conclusion of this paper has a great impact on some people. I am worried that they will do something bad."

Experimental results show that in the field of potions, Muggle fertilizers can help increase the upper limit of the herbal blue bar and have extremely high economic value.

This is good news for those in the industry, but it is heresy for those who believe in wizard supremacy. These extremists are capable of anything.

So it's a good thing that Charles is away for a while, it can save him from some trouble.

Charles said, "I have also considered this issue. I have mentioned it to the Minister and the Auror Office before. They will pay attention to the security issues of the Dancing Grass Restaurant and Farbottom Castle."

Dumbledore could escape from Hogwarts Castle, but he couldn't. Charles couldn't be found, but his property could be taken.

The defense of the Dancing Grass Restaurant was set up according to the standard of Voldemort eating without paying. We are not afraid of someone causing trouble, but the consequences may not be good, so we have to communicate with the relevant departments.

There is even less to worry about Farbatten Castle, as those young wizards are not the kind of people who keep to themselves. When they hear that someone might come to cause trouble during a meeting, they become more excited than when discussing year-end bonuses.

But Dumbledore still said with some concern: "I am a little worried about your grandfather."

Charles nodded seriously and said seriously: "Then let Grandpa live in Hogwarts Castle."

The old man will be happy, after all, Professor McGonagall also lives in the castle, but it is hard to say whether Peeves and the others will be happy.

Dumbledore thought about it and felt a little embarrassed.

The school has its own rules. It is inappropriate to let outsiders live in the castle. Hagrid has to live in a wooden house next to the Forbidden Forest instead of living in the castle like Madam Pomfrey and other staff members.

Seeing the headmaster like this, Charles could only say, "Forget it, I'll let Grandpa live in Farbottom Castle."

Farbatten Castle is Charles's territory and anyone can live there.

Moreover, there are basically no people on the road from there to Hogsmeade. People usually go through the directional fireplace to the Dancing Grass Restaurant, so if a wizard who is looking for trouble gets into trouble, no one will see it.

This matter was settled. Charles first went to the Owl Post Office in Diagon Alley to send the paper, and then went to the airport to start his journey to the Nobel Prize.

Before the holiday, he was reading a paper on graphene and accidentally saw the name of the big man in a journal. He learned that he was at Moscow University, so he contacted him through the help of Mr. Kodosdoriz's friend.

He brought with him several pieces of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, which was first produced in the UK in the 60s. The old man used his connections to buy a few pieces of it. In addition, he also brought silicon wafers coated with silicon oxide and dozens of rolls of different tapes.

While Charles was drinking kvass, in a private room in the Dancing Grass Restaurant, Bakalova, accompanied by Bill, began a formal interview with Grindelwald.

Grindelwald looked very serious, which made the two young men a little nervous.

"Many people have asked me questions over the decades, and I support many scholars," he asked Bakalova. "I think you already know all the details. What do you want to know?"

Bakalova was a little scared, and tried to calm herself down, saying, "I want to know what you think."

Over the past few decades, the details of historical events have been studied almost thoroughly by "philosophers", but few people have studied the thoughts of the parties involved.

The researchers took it for granted that Grindelwald's thoughts were as he claimed and did not conduct further research.

Bakalova couldn't find a direction for her thesis, so she tried this new field.

Grindelwald did not say anything else, and asked, "Do you want to know what I thought fifty years ago, or what I think of my thoughts fifty years ago now?"

Bakalova was shocked and thought she had found a treasure this time. Decades of reflection obviously had more research value and could be used to write many papers.

She immediately said, "I want to know how you saw yourself fifty years ago."

Grindelwald nodded slightly, leaned back in his chair, looked at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, and said slowly: "I now think that I was stupid fifty years ago."

Bakalova recorded his speech with some excitement. This opening was so explosive that it would definitely make big news in the field of modern history.

Grindelwald continued: "I still believe that my goal was right, but my methods were foolish."

“Times have changed, the world has changed a lot, and in the face of new economic and political structures, the old rule based on violence is bound to fail.”

"We first need to determine one thing: what our purpose is."

"Rule is an imprecise word. What exactly does it mean to rule, and what is the purpose of rule?"

"I think the purpose of ruling is for wizards to control their own destiny and have the power to obtain survival resources."

"What does it take to rule? Resources."

"The ancient rule of force requires military resources. Whoever has the stronger military force will be the ruler."

"Times are different now. Money is the resource that determines ruling power. Whoever has more money can rule the world."

"If a wizard wants to rule the world, he must have great wealth."

"Wizards must move into new areas and new horizons in order to take back what we have lost over the past few hundred years!"

……

Grindelwald spoke incessantly for the next two hours, more like announcing a new course of action than reflecting on his ideas from fifty years ago.

He has now abandoned the backward idea of ​​violent rule and begun to align himself with capitalism, adopting the model of controlling the government through capital to achieve the goal of conquering the world.

After Bakalova and Bill left, Jack appeared in the box and said with a slight frown, "You cast the Imperius Curse on the girl?"

Grindelwald immediately replied: "Don't be nervous, I just hinted that she should publish what I just said."
