It was already night when Cyrus returned from the caves under the Pavilion of Knowledge.

Hogwarts was quiet, and the scenery here had not changed much in a thousand years. The outline of the castle was not much different from Tom Riddle's memory and when Cyrus took a night tour with Ginny a few years ago.

Looking at the branches of the trees swaying in the wind at night still reminds people of the bird-shaped man-eating monster.

At this time, most of the students in the castle had already gone to bed. When Cyrus walked out of the library alone, he ran into Filch. The moment this sloppy Squib saw Cyrus, his face was obviously full of surprise and fear, and Mrs. Norris even arched her back and made a shrill sound.

Apparently, they still haven't gotten over the attack a few years ago.

Fortunately, Filch at least didn't lose his mind. He greeted them respectfully and left as if he was escaping.

In fact, Cyrus still felt a little sorry for the attack a few years ago. In fact, he liked cats very much. He now kept a group of Magda civets in his moving suitcase. Perhaps Mrs. Norris would like them.

He thought.

At this moment, a soft light suddenly came from the end of the dark corridor, as if the silver moon reached out and pushed open the window, letting her clothes in.

Cyrus turned his head and found a silver phoenix landing in front of him.

This is Dumbledore's Patronus.

"Come to the astronomical observatory. I have something to discuss with you."

It brought a message from Dumbledore.

Coincidentally, Cyrus also wanted to talk about the Knowledge Pavilion.

Hogwarts has several towers, two of which became dormitories for Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, the third became the dormitory for owls, and the fourth tower was used as a divination classroom...

The four towers are located at the four corners of the castle.

However, there is a central tower, which is the highest and is therefore used as an astrology classroom for students.

But at this time, even the astrology class has ended.

When Cyrus arrived here, he happened to see Dumbledore standing at the bay window of the tower. Beside him were many circular stargazing facilities and the Goblet of Fire that was flashing with a faint blue flame.

Under the glow of the Goblet of Fire, Dumbledore's back looked a little dim.

"It's been so long, and you haven't put away the Goblet of Fire yet?" asked Cyrus.

The tower is where the Goblet of Fire is hidden during the Tournament.

According to common thinking, Voldemort might think that the Goblet of Fire must be placed in the headmaster's office, but in fact it is not the case. Of course, the result is that Voldemort neither arrived at the headmaster's office nor came here.

He died in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, the place where he first confirmed his identity and bloodline.

In short, the arrogant Dark Lord didn't even see the shadow of the Goblet of Fire in the end.

"It won't hurt to put it here," said Dumbledore.

He turned around, looking away from the starry night sky, and said, "As I recall, none of us actually found the location of the Goblet of Fire, right? That game had no result."

Strictly speaking, it was indeed a match without a result. After Voldemort's death, the match was naturally terminated. Everyone was celebrating the death of the Dark Lord, so who would care about an insignificant match? Moreover, Cyrus, who had eliminated Voldemort, did not need the proof of the Goblet of Fire.

He is the uncrowned king! "I will officially step down as the president of the International Confederation of Wizards in two months. I think Babajid will temporarily handle the affairs of the International Confederation of Wizards on my behalf before the next president is elected." Dumbledore said.

"Let's talk about this later. I have something more important to tell you." Cyrus shook his head slightly, "It's about the Seeking Knowledge Pavilion."

"Have you found any clues?" asked Dumbledore.

Of course he knew what had happened in the Pavilion of Knowledge during this period, but since it was related to ancient magic, he did not intervene and instead left it to Cyrus.

Dumbledore looked at Cyrus. He felt that Cyrus' expression was very serious at the moment. Obviously, what happened was very serious.

"Voldemort's body is gone."

Dumbledore's heart seemed to skip a beat.

In the Chamber of Secrets, Cyrus burned Voldemort's body, but in fact, he had another body that did not disappear - that was the body he created with his father's bones, the flesh of his servants and Harry's blood.

After being defeated by Cyrus in the underground cave of the Pavilion of Knowledge, he was buried here by collapsed rocks.

But now, the body disappeared.

"Is it Voldemort again?" Dumbledore felt as if his back seemed to become heavier, his shoulders pressed down, and exhaustion made him breathless.

Voldemort, how many times will he be destroyed before he gives up? But Cyrus shook his head.

"If it really is Voldemort, then there is no need to worry, but I don't think so."

Until the resurrection in the Department of Mysteries, Voldemort had already done everything he could, and even if he was still alive, that was it. Cyrus even felt that the poor guy didn't deserve to be looked at seriously.

The problem now is that the possibility that Voldemort is the culprit behind all this is almost zero.

Although Voldemort has experienced a time travel, he does not have the ability to see through the power of time. The magic power possessed by the mysterious old man may be close to that of a god.

"We still don't know what that person's purpose is, but it's clear that we still have a powerful enemy waiting." Cyrus said rationally, "and the power he possesses will far exceed that of Voldemort."

But in fact he was not too worried.

Judging from everything that person has shown so far, he is just a character who hides his head and shows his tail. Maybe he is very strong, but at most he is just an enhanced version of Voldemort.

Dumbledore nodded as well.

Now they don't have much intelligence, so they can only go with the flow.

He returned to the previous topic.

"Now more and more wizards have seen your power. You are like a blazing torch, like the sun. They will worship you and follow in your footsteps. This means that everything you do will become an example, and every decision you make must be cautious." Dumbledore said with the tone of a veteran.

He was preaching, but it was also speaking from experience.

Even though Dumbledore is often attacked by some people now, especially many people always think that he has dementia, but when he was young, countless people trusted him, and even now, many people trust him more than they trust themselves.

The members of the Order of the Phoenix are the best example of this.

"The key is whether you believe in Dumbledore." This is what Lupin said to Harry in the original book.

But Dumbledore also knew, as Grindelwald said, that everyone has their own thoughts.

Some people are against breaking the Statute of Secrecy, some people want to use tough measures against Muggles...

These conflicts are not going away and could even turn into wars.

"What are you worried about?" Cyrus asked with a smile, "Are you worried there will be a conflict?"

But Dumbledore shook his head.

"We all know that conflict is inevitable. Wizards have been suppressed for too long, and Muggles are even less willing to see a group similar to them suddenly appear and dominate them." He is very rational, especially Dumbledore does not have naive illusions about some things. Just like he never thought that there would be no sacrifices in the fight against Voldemort.

He was always willing to prepare for the worst.

Muggles don't have the power of wizards, but they are better at change and better at war than wizards.

They are like lions that have ruled the entire grassland, but now a group of rare tigers have suddenly appeared out of nowhere and want to occupy their place. Even if the world is very vast, lions and tigers probably will not give in to each other.

Conflict is inevitable, and Dumbledore knows that better than anyone.

And he knew better that for wizards, it was far more advantageous to break the Statute of Secrecy than to be discovered by Muggles.

"In that case, what questions do you have?" Cyrus asked.

"The key is, which side are you on?" Dumbledore stared into Cyrus' eyes, as if he wanted to see through Cyrus's heart through those golden-red eyes.

"You have emerged from the arrogant soul of Voldemort, but you do not share his ego," said Dumbledore.

He could clearly feel that Cyrus had no aversion or contempt for Muggles in his heart, and he could also feel Cyrus's closeness to Muggles. He even felt that Cyrus actually valued the wisdom of Muggles.

So far, Cyrus has treated all lives almost equally, even goblins - he openly hates those things, but disgust is just one aspect, Cyrus does not think that any life is superior to others.

The strong prey on the weak, that's just the law of nature.

"You are so powerful that even Grindelwald and I combined may not be able to match you. We all know that as long as you are determined, no resistance will be your opponent," said Dumbledore.

"So, I want to know whose side you're on?"

There is nothing Cyrus can't accomplish as long as he wants to do it.

So it is very important whether Cyrus is more inclined towards wizards or Muggles.

Cyrus had not expected Dumbledore to ask this question, but the answer was simple.

"Why should I stand on either side?" he asked. "I am like a scale that can balance the weight of both ends."

"You will find this difficult." Dumbledore said meaningfully, "There is no absolute justice in this world. You will always have some bias. Especially now that you represent wizards, so many wizards are willing to follow you. They regard you as their leader, but you will inevitably be influenced by them."

He continued: "When two different populations collide with each other, one of them is bound to suffer."

Actually, Dumbledore was referring to Muggles.

So far, most Muggles know nothing about wizards. They think they are the only masters of the world. Once wizards appear in their world, they will probably be hostile immediately. They will not allow things that originally belong to them to be divided. What about wizards? Most wizards' arrogance will make them despise and look down on Muggles.

They do not think that Muggles are equal to them. In fact, most people still think that the Statute of Secrecy is to protect Muggles.

Cyrus understood this principle.

"I'm already preparing to solve this problem." He said with a smile. Dumbledore nodded immediately, with curiosity in his eyes. He looked at Cyrus calmly, waiting to listen to Cyrus' plan.

"For wizards, the most important thing we should eliminate is the prejudice of most people against Muggles. I want to let them know that Muggles just don't have magical abilities, not that they don't lack talent and wisdom. People like Mr. Weasley understand the abilities of Muggles best, right?" said Cyrus.

Dumbledore nodded.

Arthur Weasley was a famous Muggle-savvy.

"Unfortunately, due to the Statute of Secrecy, even he knows very little about the Muggle world. If they really get to know Muggles, it is not difficult to find out how much wisdom those people who cannot use magic have inspired in order to live their lives as they wish." Cyrus said, "I think the Muggle Studies courses for wizards should be updated."

He laughed. "Lucius has been doing these things in the United States for some time. He has taken control of the entire North American wizard economy and has been vigorously researching Muggle science and technology."

Breaking down prejudices, this is what Cyrus wants to do in the wizarding world.

Dumbledore nodded in approval.

So Cyrus continued: "And Muggles should be prepared for the existence of wizards in advance."

“It’s not easy.”

"I think it's the opposite," Sellers said. "Times have changed for Dumbledore, and the Muggles' thinking is changing too. They will be more tolerant, and the world will become more diverse."

"As for the Statute of Secrecy, we don't need to break it forcefully. Instead, we should slowly show them the wizarding world."

"So what are you going to do?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"Didn't I tell you that I found a capable assistant not long ago?" Cyrus raised his eyebrows, "Gilderoy Lockhart."

Dumbledore looked surprised.

"I remember him asking for trouble and forgetting most things."

"When I went to treat Neville's parents, I cured him as well. Although he doesn't have any special abilities, fortunately he has a good mind. He will present the things in the wizarding world to the Muggles in the form of stories." Cyrus said playfully, "What do you think of... "Unspeakable Love, Dumbledore and Grindelwald"? "

"I'm afraid it's not that good..." Dumbledore felt like he was having a myocardial infarction.

Cyrus laughed. "Don't worry. I have already made an agreement with Harry that Gilderoy will write a Harry Potter book. It will be popular all over the world. Everyone will know the existence of magic and yearn to receive letters from Hogwarts."

Dumbledore had never thought that there was such a way. The scene described by Cyrus reminded him of Lily Potter's sister, a girl named Petunia Evans.

"Muggles never refer to people without magical abilities, but to people who don't believe in magic, right?" Cyrus said softly.

He walked to the side of the Goblet of Fire, and the cold light of the flame shone into his eyes, like stars twinkling.

"If everyone believed in magic, there would be no Muggles in the world!"
