Summary of Chapter: "Tver's Responsibility"

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Tver defends his top-down reform approach, arguing that governments, including Muggle ones, are more capable of controlling public opinion in the internet age.
• He reveals he has already leaked magic to a select group of wealthy Muggles, not to the general public.
• Tver proposes a plan: instead of maintaining absolute secrecy from all Muggles, the wizarding world should deliberately cultivate relationships with influential Muggle politicians and elites. This would make it easier to control the masses and prevent large-scale exposure of magic.
• Babajide is initially shocked but becomes intrigued. He suggests a more cautious alternative: only communicate with politicians in advance of potential exposure incidents.
• Tver rejects this as too slow and reactive, warning that future conflicts (after Dumbledore and his teacher are gone) would leave the wizarding world vulnerable.

• Babajide then asks about Voldemort's resurrection; Tver deflects by referring to Dumbledore's account.
