Unifying the Power of the Pure-Bloods

Xiwen looked at Dumbledore's ambiguous smile with a puzzled expression.

As Young Wizard Xiwen was indeed sorted into Slytherin, but Soul Body, he had never undergone the Sorting Ceremony. Therefore, it was quite strange for Dumbledore to say such things to Xiwen, who was Soul Body.

"No, I'm not mistaken, Strange, or rather, Xiwen?" Dumbledore chuckled and shook his head, staring into Xiwen's eyes.

Xiwen's eyes widened suddenly as he looked at Dumbledore in disbelief.

"You know, in your first Transfiguration after arriving at Hogwarts, the way you forcibly shaped a matchstick when you first started learning Transformation was something no ordinary person could do. This represents immense mental strength, and it also means that you possess a mental level far exceeding that of the average wizard. This is extremely unusual for an eleven-year-old wizard."

Before Xiwen could reply, Dumbledore began to speak on his own.

"Furthermore, I have never seen an heir from an extremely Pure-blood family like Rozier's so knowledgeable about Muggle. Combined with the previous point, I became extremely curious about you at that time."

"Forgive me, Xiwen, my first thought was Legilimency. I didn't intend to pry into your other memories; I just wanted to see how you learned your knowledge of Muggle knowledge."

"Your mental strength is very strong. Even if you haven't learned Occlumency, it's not easy for anyone to probe the contents of your mind. Even I can only vaguely see a scene when you're emotionally agitated. It's another world that doesn't belong here, and another magic system."

Xiwen listened to Dumbledore's story, his mood gradually calmed down.

"So I was exposed on the very first day? I thought I was hiding it so well." He chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"So when you were in your first year, there was a time when I genuinely believed that you were responsible for destroying the castle's Magic Node," Dumbledore continued. "After all, the timing of your appearance at Hogwarts Castle and your identity as someone from another world were far too suspicious."

"But your subsequent actions completely dispelled my doubts about you. In addition, even a wise woman like the Grey Lady chose to cover for you, which gradually led me to consider bringing you into my plan. Later, as you know, I invited you to help thwart Grindelwald's scheme."

At this point, Dumbledore chuckled softly. "You don't really think I'd send a naive first-year wizard to face Grindelwald, do you?"

"That's really what I thought at the time..." Xiwen's lips twitched as he retorted. "The thing is, you kept coming up with three or four reasons why Grindelwald wouldn't hurt me, and you made them sound so convincing. I actually believed you!"

Dumbledore leaned against the railing, laughing heartily. "While I don't consider myself to have particularly high moral character, involving minors in such a huge danger is simply too much for me."

Xiwen smiled helplessly at him, then asked the next question with curiosity, "Since you know I'm not just a simple underage wizard, why did you use my underage status as an excuse to send me away when we were discussing the strange phenomena in the forests at Flamel's house?"

"You know I'm trying to get rid of you, don't you?" Dumbledore said with a smile. "I just wanted to discuss something with Flamel alone, that's all."

"Alright." Xiwen nodded somewhat speechlessly, then asked the next question. "Since it's been more than two years since you learned my secret, why did you suddenly choose today to expose it?"

Upon hearing this question, Dumbledore glanced up at Xiwen, then looked down at the view below the Main Tower's staircase. Hogwarts Castle remained a haven of joy and laughter amidst the global war, a veritable paradise.

Amidst the relaxed and joyful atmosphere in the distance, Dumbledore sighed softly.

"Because the world's trends leave no room for any secrets." He looked at Xiwen and said deeply. "You asked me today why I don't become a leader of the Wizarding World, why I let this despicable minister continue to pollute the Ministry of Magic's environment. I've thought about this question carefully, and I feel it's time to have a frank discussion."

Xiwen looked into Dumbledore's deep eyes, his expression gradually became serious.

"Strange, I actually had a plan for the Minister for Magic's problem," Dumbledore. "In a few days, the current Minister, Hector Fawley, will be impeached by Wizengamot for his disastrous handling of the World War and disqualified from serving as Minister for Magic of the England."

"The next minister will be Leonard Spencer- Morn, the current Head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation. He is an official who rose through the ranks, has excellent personal ethics, and is quite capable, making him very suitable to lead the Ministry of Magic of England in facing the impending calamity."

"So... you were the one who orchestrated the change of Minister for Magic?" Xiwen asked, somewhat shocked.

"Not really," Dumbledore chuckled. "I'm just using my current global prestige to add weight to Fawley's downfall." "Besides the Ministry of Magic in England, the president of the International Confederation of Wizards and the headmaster of Hogwarts are both very suitable leaders in the face of the impending catastrophe; neither of them would be incompetent!"

"Therefore, there is no need to worry about the future of the Wizarding World; everything will move in a positive direction!" Dumbledore declared passionately.

Xiwen nodded gently, and the confusion and melancholy in his heart dissipated in an instant.

"But besides the Ministry of Magic, the International Confederation of Wizards, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, there is another force that has not been fully united," Dumbledore continued. "That is the power accumulated by the Pure-blood families, Xiwen."

"The Pure-blood families in the Wizarding World often have a high opinion of themselves and are unwilling to be ruled by others. In addition, they value profit and Pure-blood honor, so it is very difficult for anyone to completely unify them. What's worse, they also have a lot of resources and economic strength, which no one can ignore. You should know these things better than I do."

"I've listened to so much of you without realizing it. So what do you want me to do this time?" Xiwen interrupted Dumbledore and asked directly.

"I need you to unite the power of the Pure-blood families, Xiwen." Dumbledore straightened his back from the Seventh Floor railing and earnestly said to Xiwen. "Only someone like you, with ancient blood flowing in your veins but not as corrupt in spirit as those old nobles, is the most suitable leader to command the power of the Pure-blood families!"

"Xiwen, isn't it about time you showed the world your ambitions as Slytherin?"
