Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 719
"My skills are now many times more refined than before," Tierra said with some pride.

“These days are truly…” Dumbledore smiled helplessly. “Where did you get so much amazing magic? You must show it to me someday.”

"Sixth row, fourteenth floor, in the library's restricted section. Go get it yourself if you want," Tiera replied. "The R'lyeh Tabernacle - Abridged Version."

"Okay, now let's talk about why you did this."

“Of course, for the safety of all wizards,” Tierra said. “Although I think my plan is perfectly set up, you must know that nothing in this world is 100% certain, especially when it involves two groups.”

“So I always have to leave some insurance measures,” Tierra continued to explain. “And pushing the British Isles away from the European continent is one of my insurance measures.”

“Muggles aren’t like us; they don’t have the Floo Network or the Apparition Charm. Their spread must go through physical means,” Tierra said. “If our plan doesn’t execute perfectly, or if something goes wrong during its execution…”

“The British Isles will be our last bastion,” Tierra said. “With the UK as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, other countries will not use nuclear weapons against us, and the British government will not allow troops from any country other than the United States to land on its territory. In fact, if we offer enough incentives, the UK will withstand the pressure, and we will only be facing the UK. If the situation is ideal, we can even form a defensive alliance with the British government.”

"In that situation, it's better to have an ally among the five permanent members of the UN Security Council than to face the entire Muggle world alone."

“And even if things get really bad, what if Britain refuses to surrender—" Tierra chuckled, “Of course, that’s almost impossible.”

“The British Isles, isolated overseas, are easy to defend and difficult to attack, which can buy our wizarding society a great deal of time to react and negotiate,” Tierra said. “There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. As long as we are willing to give enough, we can always move them.”

"You even have a backup plan?" Dumbledore asked.

“Headmaster, what we are doing is determining the fate of two worlds and two societies. It’s not child’s play, it’s not something you can just start over tomorrow if you fail today,” Tierra said. “Of course, I hope my backup plan will never be needed. We’d better proceed with the exchange and integration between the wizarding world and the Muggle world in a peaceful manner.”

“So I’m just pushing it forward at a very, very slow pace, so that the Muggle world won’t be able to detect the change,” Tierra explained. “I believe that with my abilities, I can control the extent and speed of this change so that the plan won’t have too much of an impact on either world.”

“Very good, very good.” Dumbledore looked at Tyella gently, then sighed and said, “Alas, sometimes I feel that you and Gellert are so similar, yet so different.”

“Of course, we’re not the same kind of people,” Tierra said with a smile.

His smile was hidden in the shadows of the candlelight, obscuring its true nature.
