When Sebastian woke up, the first thought on his mind was that he had been knocked out again. Still, it had been a long time since it last happened, but it was still disturbing. He had no chance to safe himself. He was weak, too weak to protect himself. Sure, he was stronger, but not enough to fight someone that was very strong or experienced.
"Hello Sebastian. Good to see you alive and well.", Sebastian heard the voice of Professor Krieg, coming somewhere from the right.
With a somewhat hoarse voice, Sebastian asked, "Am I safe?"
"Yes, Nadine was suspicious about your combat instructor and came to me after you were called to him.", Professor Krieg replied, "He is dead. I couldn't procure him without killing him. Dumbledore really gave him a strong spell. Unluckily we cannot fully reach that level yet."
"Urgh.", Sebastian groaned. Dumbledore was behind it? Well, he was fully, absolutely, 100% fucked. "What is going to happen now?", Sebastian asked, anxious about his future.
"We will have to relocate the castle and go through every personal again. But don't worry, Dumbledore only knows that we have someone talented, not who it is. Winfried was able to circumvent that, but he is still guilty.", Theodore Krieg replied.
"Okay, that sounds reasonable.", Sebastian managed to voice before he fell asleep.

-At the same time at a different location
"Hello there.", an old and friendly looking man wearing a purple robe and a green pointed hat said.
"Albus Dumbledore.", another woman wearing a wizarding robe, made for comfort, replied with a French accent.
"What is the reason for you to grace me in my own home at ten in the morning? With your wand in your hand at that. You don't want to punish me with your wand like you did with your ex-boyfriend?", the French woman replied sheepishly, her voice betraying her calm look. Or how would you react if one of the strongest people currently alive stood in front of you in a weird dress, his wand in his hand? Now that she thought about it, that sounded more like a pervert that an absolute combat unit and the leader of a nation.
Dumbledore's face distorted for a second, before returning to normal, while saying, "Believe me, young girl, I wouldn't even need to pull out my wand to make you feel miserable."
"Still the same as before, I see.", the French witch replied, her ability to do magic apparent by the elegant staff that appeared in her hand. "What would your teacher possibly think if he saw you here, Albus. Aren't you a disappointment.", the witch said, insulting Dumbledore. She didn't dare attack first.
"Maybe, if I hadn't killed him before I came here.", Albus replied, stunning the French witch. Smiling lightly, his eyes twinkling, Dumbledore continued, "You see, my girl, your second in command is close to attaining the rune enlightenment and I cannot allow your punny French nation to have two War Wizards. That would topple global balance. But I know that you French were never people to stand strong, right? Six weeks?"
The woman gritted her teeth. True, her companions and the French muggles really weren't a large hindrance to the dark lord Grindelwald, and the dark wizard Hitler. "And you being here doesn't topple the balance? You hypocrite! You and your shitty greater good. Did you taste Grindelwald's ass a few times too often you old wanker?", the woman spat out.
Dumbledore smiled, basking in the woman's insults, further cementing his superiority, and replied, "My girl, do not underestimate me. I have some surprises for the underdeveloped sheep's you call your country's wizards, and all the other magical nations. In one year, there is going to be a small exchange program with personal tutoring of the greatest British minds and our unspeakables. They will simply have no chance but to send their most talented students, not doing so would just leave them behind. I am even going to open the Department of Mysteries for them. We will see, how many of these sheep are going to return to their underdeveloped nations, considering that seven of them try to progress in secret and think I, we, would not know!", Albus finished and began laughing loudly.
True, they weren't the best in everything. Imagine his surprise when he heard the idea of a German talent. A genius. Who would have thought that Physics could be implemented like this! This pulled all the stops for the future of wizardkind, even more so for individuals like him, that weren't limited by an upper limit! Wizards, that could call upon the worlds magic and did not have to rely on their human body!
But to be honest, Albus also became a bit scared because of several different reasons. The first and most forward was, that wizards became more powerful faster. This meant, that a lot could go wrong if they were under any leadership other than him or his inheritor. This just could not happen and therefore, he needed to become stronger again, but he was limited by his body and the earth's magic itself. He had sacrificed some of his power, therefore the magic would not give him the chance to earn it back.
The other reason was also part of what he just thought about. The key word was the 'earth's magic'. Coupled with the muggles fast progress in science, a lot more made sense. A long time ago, magic activated in one point of the earth, which became the first centre of magic. But the earth did not do it by itself, but with the help of an outside influence. A magical meteor! Or maybe it wasn't a meteor at all, but something else? Nonetheless, all life was wiped out and the earth started anew. Many very ancient texts and runes hinted to the existence of magic outside of the earth and these runes were finally comprehensible if you knew about a few things' muggles knew. He couldn't have been the only one that noticed.
There was magic outside of the earth and muggles even theorized life somewhere in the far universe. There could be stronger races, maybe even wizards that destroyed planets with ease! Albus did not know, but this possibility broke something inside of him and he gained irreparable damage to his psyche. All from a mere possibility! Therefore, he hastened his plans and was ready to sacrifice even more to become stronger, to become the ruler, to accomplish the Greater Good!
[A/N: I know it is a bit farfetched, but it is an honest possibility, that I am abusing to explain even more of a change of character for Dumb-Dumb. On a side note, this also opens more possibilities for the future =). But that would be a separate story and will not be mixed before this story is finished! So don't leave me just yet ;) ]
But back to the current situation.
The French woman turned serious and bitterly asked a final question, "So everything has been planed out? I guess, my second in command is your man, right?", the woman began laughing crazily, while Dumbledore smiled, "Yes, Louise Delacour, that's right. Now be a good girl and go to sleep.", Albus said, gripping his wand firmly.
Louise could not believe it! Her own son betrayed her! She began shaking and crying. It made no sense! She had done so much for this country and her son! She decided not to go down without a fight, whatever it took!
Magic permeated the air, but Dumbledore just smile. "You allure cannot affect me, my girl.", he said, smiling, to which Louise snorted.
Louise Delacour stood up, holding her staff like a shield in front of her, but Dumbledore just smiled.
Suddenly, Dumbledore waved his hand, summoning seven green fire phoenix which dispersed. One if them flew towards Louise, who used Gravity Magic to divert the phoenix upwards, towards the ceiling of the room.
She controlled to phoenix to break through floors, upon floors, until the phoenix was outside. With a controlled gravitational distortion, the phoenix burst, destroying the whole building other than the ground they stood on.
Dumbledore, still smiling leisurely began to rise and float upwards, Louise following. If they fought on the ground, the damage they would do would be too disastrous. When they were one hundred and fifty meters above the ground they stopped.
The city Paris was visible behind them as the manor had been at the outskirts of the beautiful city, still bustling full of life, millions of humans, wizards, and muggles, following their daily rhythm, not expecting anything special on this normal day.
Runes began appearing around Louise, runes no other wizard know or was able to use. Their intricate forms holding unfathomable power and knowledge.
Louise closed her eyes and held her staff with both hand in front of her ample chest, while the staff gradually turned to shining silver.
Carefully, she pronounced a spell she had never used before, as its consequences implied the destruction of the surrounding landscape.
"I-", she faltered, not believing she would be in this situation any time in her life.
She began again, while radiating unbelievable, breathtaking, mesmerizing allure, she became the centre of attention, the centre of magic. The magic seemed to falter until she said with her delicate lips:
"I AM THE WORLD"
The words resounded throughout the world. A battle, changing and writing history had begun.
