Chapter Summaries

Tierra argued that magical ability might be tied to genetics and that identifying Muggles with latent magical potential could help increase the wizarding population. He warned that the wizarding world’s tiny population left it vulnerable to Muggle military power.

• Tierra said the lack of progress in Magical Embryo Development research supported the possibility that ordinary Wizarding World substances had little effect on magical births among Muggles.
• Tierra explained that he had joined the Human Genome Project to investigate genetic links between Muggles and wizards and hoped to identify SNP loci associated with magical ability.
• Tierra described plans to attract Muggles with latent wizard genes to Britain using immigration incentives, housing, and financial support for mothers and children.
• Tierra said his research and Muggle Magical Transformation Plans served the goal of increasing the wizarding population.
• Tierra compared two million wizards with 5.7 billion Muggles and argued that even killing ten Muggles per wizard would not make victory possible.
• Tierra said defeat would begin before the last wizarding bloodline vanished, as casualties, broken unity, population loss, and shattered settlements weakened the wizarding world.

Tierra defended his plans to expand the wizarding population and build a wizarding empire in the British Isles, while accusing the assembled leaders of obstructing him. Irina Smirnova asked where the other wizards stood in his eyes, leaving the meeting awaiting his answer.

• The wizards considered Tierra's proposal to increase births and select Muggle populations for potential wizarding genes, but worried about its assumptions and moral costs.
• Vinda Rosier affirmed her faith in Tierra, and he rebuked her for believing words could save those bent on destruction.
• Tierra described his policies of expanding Hogwarts, rewarding wizarding families for having children, recruiting immigrants, and settling abandoned villages to build an empire of over one hundred million wizards.
• Tierra accused most people in the room, except Arthur Weasley and Vinda Rosier, of secretly resisting or delaying his orders.
• Irina Smirnova apologized for misunderstandings and asked what place Tierra believed most wizards held in his heart.

Tierra explained to Irina Smirnova that he aimed to build a stable, thriving magical society rather than rule for its own sake. He described wizards as a new direction in Muggle evolution, leaving their relationship to ordinary humans unresolved.

• Tierra reminded Irina Smirnova of their all-night conversation in North Sea Prison.
• Tierra's regime had expanded across Britain and absorbed territories and wizarding populations from Germany, Austria, and Russia.
• Tierra's policies had increased the registered wizard population under his rule from twelve thousand to sixty thousand without causing shortages or serious crime.
• Tierra told Irina Smirnova that he considered everyone, including himself, human.
• Tierra explained that wizards were human but not the same as Muggles, calling them a new direction in Muggle evolution.

Tierra explained evolution to Irina Smirnova, Balázs Locke Hoffmannde, and the conference room, arguing that wizards were a more evolved form of humanity than Muggles. He ended by studying the listeners’ reactions.

• Irina Smirnova, Balázs Locke Hoffmannde, and the others struggled to understand the concept of evolution.
• Tierra defined evolution as inherited changes across generations and explained how those changes could produce wizards and Squibs among Muggles and wizards.
• Tierra compared wizards’ magical survival skills with Muggles’ reliance on tools and physical effort.
• Tierra argued that wizards were innately superior to Muggles and represented humanity’s direction of evolution.
• Tierra paused and observed the reactions of everyone in the conference room.

Tierra told the assembled wizards he wanted to lead humanity and other intelligent life-forms toward a new path of evolution and eventually beyond the Milky Way. The wizards questioned the scale and practicality of his vision, and an old wizard asked him to explain the plan further.

• Tierra dismissed ruling the Wizarding World as too limited and said he wanted to guide intelligent life beyond the Milky Way.
• The wizards struggled to understand Tierra’s vision, since they were accustomed to power struggles with Muggles and among themselves.
• Tierra urged the wizards to overcome fear, explore new technologies, and cooperate across boundaries to advance humanity.
• The wizards fell silent and began reconsidering Tierra’s proposal.
• An old wizard acknowledged the plan’s difficulty and asked Tierra for more information and evidence.

Tierra explained that he wanted to unite wizards and Muggles in a Global Human Alliance rather than enslave Muggles. He left the gathered wizards questioning how to win Muggle support without simply eliminating opponents.

• Tierra asked the wizards how wizarding society should interact with the Muggle World, but most of them could not answer.
• Irina Smirnova cautiously suggested that Tierra's ideals differed from what they had understood.
• Tierra described his plan to establish a Global Human Alliance that included wizards and Muggles.
• Tierra said they should win over Muggles who supported wizards or remained neutral and reduce hostility among those who opposed them.
• Vianney Weaver proposed identifying and eliminating Muggle opposition, and Tierra rejected the idea as simplistic.

Tierra explained that the Muggle Magical Transformation Plan aimed to weaken anti-wizard hostility by giving Muggles and their descendants a chance to become wizards. He promised to lead the experiments and compensate participating wizards, though he could not guarantee their interests would never be harmed.

• Tierra asked whether Muggles hated wizards because of religious indoctrination or because they lacked magic.
• Doniel Klosterman suggested using the Imperius Curse, but Tierra said that approach suited only stubborn Muggle elites.
• Irina Smirnova realized the transformation plan was also meant to divide Muggles who hated wizards, and Tierra praised her insight.
• Doniel warned that Muggles had once imprisoned wizards and experimented on them to obtain magical abilities.
• Tierra promised to lead the plan and share his knowledge with participating researchers and organizations.
• Tierra told Irina Smirnova he could not guarantee the experiments would not harm wizarding interests, but promised sufficient compensation for every sacrifice.

Tierra explained how he planned to bring the Muggle Magical Transformation Plan into public view without causing widespread panic. He intended to present wizards as a group with unusual genetic mutations through research connected to the Human Genome Project.

• Irina Smirnova asked whether the plan would still involve sacrifices, and Tierra said they had to take the first step despite the risks.
• Irina considered using small-scale experiments and publicizing results to show Muggles that wizards were friendly.
• Tierra warned Irina that she needed to understand Muggle history and explained that a sudden appearance by wizards would cause panic.
• Tierra said he had intervened in the Human Genome Project and was gathering wizards in the United Kingdom.
• Tierra planned to publish at least ten papers claiming that genetic mutations among people in the British Isles granted magical abilities, gradually introducing wizarding society to Muggles.

Tierra proposed presenting magical ability as a regional mutation to encourage Muggle acceptance and gradually integrate wizards and Muggles. He outlined plans for economic and political alliances, but Simon Salinas voiced conservative doubts about whether the strategy could work.

• Tierra proposed describing wizard abilities as a random regional mutation and supporting scholars who promoted the idea.
• Tierra explained that the theory could attract Muggle allies, boost the United Kingdom’s economy, and help wizards secure ties with the United Kingdom, the United States, and France.
• Tierra described using those alliances either to confront Muggles or to strengthen wizarding society, while saying he preferred gradual, peaceful integration.
• Tierra noticed that some listeners still opposed integration because they clung to their old family status.
• Simon Salinas, speaking for the conservatives, said they doubted the plan’s feasibility.

Tierra reassured the wizards gathered in the conference room about his plan to merge the magical and Muggle worlds, using Magical Tricks to calm their doubts. Vinda Rosier continued the meeting as the group turned to refining the technology and limiting its harms.

• Tierra explained that the plan was feasible but still required research, technical improvements, and lower costs.
• Tierra promised a more equal and peaceful merging of the magical and Muggle worlds, urging the wizards to work together.
• Tierra used Magical Tricks to soothe the conference room, leaving Simon Salinas unable to identify the source of his lingering displeasure.
• Vinda Rosier took over the discussion and called for work on making the technology and plan more feasible while reducing negative effects.

Arthur Weasley challenged Tierra’s plan for contact between wizards and Muggles, questioning whether it treated Muggles as objects and how it would protect them. Tierra explained that the plan aimed for equal cooperation, but Arthur raised concerns about wizards who hated Muggles.

• Arthur Weasley stood up and objected to discussing Muggles as though they were objects.
• Tierra welcomed Arthur’s challenge and explained that the plan aimed to bridge the divide between Muggles and wizards through mutual exchange.
• Tierra argued that Muggle society’s collective strength made unprepared contact dangerous for the loosely organized wizarding world.
• Tierra said the plan would create safer, more trusting communication so both societies could develop together.
• Arthur asked how the plan would prevent wizards, including those who hated Muggles, from harming them.

Tierra discussed safeguards for Muggles and invited Arthur Weasley to help oversee the plan. He revealed that he had already promoted wizarding culture to Muggles through a bestselling series of books attributed to Gilderoy Lockhart.

• Tierra outlined oversight measures intended to prevent researchers from harming Muggles and asked Arthur Weasley to join the oversight team.
• Arthur Weasley suggested publicizing wizarding culture to Muggles and establishing rules to protect their rights.
• Tierra produced five Harry Potter books and said he had written them about his Hogwarts experiences and basic magical knowledge.
• Tierra said the books had sold over sixteen million pounds' worth in the United Kingdom and that film and television companies had sought adaptation rights.

Tierra explained his plan to introduce Muggles to magical culture while guiding them to respect its limits, and outlined the strength and research meant to support it. He asked the conference attendees to commit to the plan or withdraw, leaving them silent as they considered their choices.

• Simon Salinas questioned whether the publicity might make Muggles obsess over magic and threaten wizarding safety.
• Tierra said educating Muggles about their limitations was part of the plan and pointed to wizarding forces and technology as its backing.
• Tierra revealed that he and Horace Slughorn had developed a promising procedure for creating the Philosopher's Stone and Elixir of Life.
• Tierra said he had invested Harry Potter series proceeds and gold borrowed from Gringotts in a biological company, where young talents from attendees' families could study magic and Muggle technology.

Irina Smirnova provided preliminary statistics for Belarus, and Tierra prepared to use the leaders’ interest in funding to ensure the relocation work got done.

• Irina Smirnova pledged to join Tierra’s plan and urge wizards from Ukraine and Belarus to relocate to the United Kingdom, and Arthur Weasley offered housing.
• The other wizarding family leaders supported the plan, while Simon Salinas agreed to relocate as many people from his region as possible.
• Tierra rejected vague promises and demanded exact population figures, timelines, and resource estimates, offering to meet reasonable requests from wizards asked to leave their homes.
• Irina Smirnova reported that Belarus had about three thousand wizards in two thousand three hundred families, including around three hundred underage wizards.
• Tierra asked how long and how many resources it would take to relocate the Belarusian wizards, suspecting the leaders hoped to profit from the effort.

Tierra assigned Irina Smirnova and the other wizarding leaders to prepare plans for relocating their populations, with funding to be provided after he reviewed their proposals. He left them with a warning to treat relocation as the essential first step toward a new era for wizarding society.

• Tierra told Irina Smirnova that the leaders had one month to count their wizarding populations and submit detailed relocation and compensation plans with resource requests.
• Irina Smirnova and the other wizarding leaders agreed to prepare the report and help ensure the wizards' safety and interests during relocation.

Tierra told Dumbledore that he was secretly moving the British Isles away from continental Europe to give wizards an escape route if the Muggle government rejected them. Dumbledore was stunned to learn Tierra could accomplish this with magic.

• Dumbledore asked Tierra how his talks with Grindelwald's Saints had gone, and Tierra complained about politics.
• Dumbledore praised Tierra's plan and said young people like him would need to carry out the work ahead.
• An earthquake shook Dumbledore's office, and Tierra restored the broken bottles and jars.
• Dumbledore questioned whether the tremor was a natural earthquake, and Tierra admitted he was gradually moving the British Isles away from continental Europe.
• Dumbledore expressed shock that such a spell existed, and Tierra said he had been able to summon a meteorite since his fourth year.

Tierra explained to Dumbledore that separating the British Isles from continental Europe would provide wizards with a defensible refuge and a political safeguard if their plan to integrate the Wizarding and Muggle worlds went wrong. He said he was advancing the change slowly and hoped peaceful cooperation would make the contingency unnecessary.

• Tierra told Dumbledore that he had found his spells in the Restricted Section and named the R'lyeh Text—Abridged Edition.
• Tierra explained that isolating the British Isles would give wizards a final fortress and might let them form an alliance with the British government.
• Tierra said the separation would make the Isles easier to defend and give wizarding society time to react and negotiate.
• Dumbledore asked whether Tierra had prepared a contingency plan, and Tierra said the stakes demanded safeguards while he hoped for peaceful integration.
• Dumbledore remarked that Tierra and Gellert were alike in some ways, and Tierra said they had never been the same kind of people.

Tierra reassured Dumbledore that his actions mattered more than his hidden motives, then asked him to persuade resistant wizarding communities in France, Austria, and Belgium to relocate to the United Kingdom. Dumbledore agreed to try, though he could not promise that Nicolas Flamel would help.

• Dumbledore told Tierra that his unknown intentions had frightened him since Tierra confessed everything two years earlier.
• Tierra argued that he had chosen to reform wizarding society rather than seize power, and urged Dumbledore to judge him by his actions.
• Tierra gave Dumbledore a booklet listing wizarding communities in France, Austria, and Belgium that resisted relocation.
• Tierra asked Dumbledore to visit and persuade those communities to relocate, preferably with Nicolas Flamel's help.
• Dumbledore agreed to try but said Flamel had been dissatisfied with Tierra, who admitted he had sometimes gone too far.

Tierra explained his plans for a more harmonious society and assured Dumbledore that Voldemort could not become a god. Dumbledore agreed to help persuade Professor Nicolas Flamel and others to relocate, while Voldemort’s ambitions remained unchecked for the moment.

• Dumbledore acknowledged that Tierra’s plan involved fewer sacrifices and agreed to speak with Professor Nicolas Flamel and persuade anyone unwilling to relocate.
• Tierra thanked Dumbledore for his sincere assistance and trusted negotiating skills.
• Dumbledore asked why Tierra had allowed Tom Marvolo Riddle to remain at Hogwarts, and Tierra replied that he had already snuck in before Dumbledore’s travels.
• Dumbledore described a young wizard’s rapid rise in the International Magical Federation, and Tierra confirmed that people at the meeting were backing both sides.
• Tierra said Voldemort could try to become a god but would fail because a fragment of his soul was there, and he told Dumbledore he had no special plan.

Tierra and Dumbledore discussed keeping their plan to integrate wizarding society with the Muggle World simple and adaptable. Meanwhile, Voldemort introduced Blyreem to books and magic in the Hogwarts library, where Blyreem felt he had learned a great deal.

• Tierra argued that a simple plan backed by accurate intelligence and prepared alternatives was best, and Dumbledore agreed.
• Tierra told Dumbledore that his divine nature made his thinking difficult to understand, and Dumbledore replied that Tierra had always been hard to fathom.
• Voldemort brought Blyreem to the Hogwarts library, recommended books, and taught him some little-known magic.
• Blyreem thanked Voldemort and studied beside him for several hours, though he began playing with his Wizarding Playing Cards after about fifteen minutes.
