Sorcerer Supreme at Hogwarts (English Versión)

"------------------

If you notice a slight change in Dumbledore's style, it's because I had to seek a bit of help. I wanted this Dumbledore to sound as manipulative and tactical as possible"I couldn't afford to waste this opportunity. And honestly, it turned out amazing to me. I even started to feel anger towards him myself.

"------------

"We came as soon as we heard," said Lupin, confused by his friend's disdain. "Is everyone alright? Where's the enemy?" asked Lupin, looking at everyone present.

Meanwhile, behind him, Mad-Eye Moody quickly entered, prepared to fight, and looked distrustfully at those he didn't know inside the house.

"Who are they?" he asked quickly.

"It doesn't matter who they are, they helped us defeat Voldemort," said Lily, glaring at Moody.

Hearing that, everyone was shocked.

"Voldemort? Where is he?" asked Moody quickly.

"I left him covered on the side," replied Hagrid as he stood up and showed them the spot where he left the covered corpse.

Moody, upon seeing it, quickly crouched down to check while using all kinds of analysis spells.

"It's true..." he said, surprised.

Then everyone heard one last Apparition sound, so they quickly drew their wands, but realized it was Dumbledore.

"Sorry, I arrived as quickly as possible," said Dumbledore as he looked at everyone present. Then he saw James and Lily standing not far away, and his eyes showed surprise, but it was fleeting. He quickly approached them with a worried expression.

"It's great that you're safe," he said, showing a happiness that the Potter family perceived as fake.

Sirius was about to say something biting, but Petunia stopped him. Dumbledore noticed the couple's movements, so he quickly looked at Sirius.

"It seems my warning was quite timely. Were you able to drive away the enemy?" he said confidently.

"No. The enemy was killed. And quite easily, it seems," said Moody, interrupting.

Dumbledore turned to look at him and then saw Voldemort's corpse at Moody's feet.

"That is... Tom," he said, now unable to hide his surprise, but he quickly regained his composure. "I would have preferred to capture him alive so he could serve his sentence in Azkaban. But you did the best you could," he said, shaking his head with a bit of regret. "It's alright if you explain how you did it," he said while staring directly into James's eyes.

"Wow, Legilimency even in front of everyone here? How shameless," said Wanda, looking at Dumbledore with mockery.

Everyone heard that and was surprised, looking at Dumbledore with confusion.

"Sorry, I don't know what you mean, young lady," Dumbledore replied quickly, in a calm tone, though his eyes betrayed a slight flash of alertness.

"Oh, sure, must be her imagination... Although I'd say she's not the only one who noticed," said Tony sarcastically while his siblings looked at Dumbledore with mockery and interest.

"It seems imagination has been working overtime today. But I assure you, there's nothing out of the ordinary," Dumbledore said quickly, while the Potter family moved closer to the young people Dumbledore had never seen before.

"Who do you think you are to speak to Dumbledore like that? I've never seen you before, and as far as I know, you have no right whatsoever to question him without presenting your credentials first," Moody growled, his magical eye spinning rapidly as it scanned the newcomers. "This is no place for provocateurs or loudmouths without foundation," he said with contempt.

Then everyone saw how, suddenly, Moody was hit by a spell square in the chest, sending him flying several meters before crashing down and writhing in pain as he tried to get up.

Quickly, all those who arrived late drew their wands and pointed them at Natasha, who had launched that spell so fast that even Dumbledore hadn't seen it coming.

"Hey, I wanted to do that. He still owes me for dealing with the Aurors," said Stephen while snapping his fingers, making everyone's wands fly away effortlessly.

Dumbledore quickly went on high alert and was about to draw his wand with caution, looking at the young people with great wariness.

When he reached into his cloak, he realized his wand was not where it was supposed to be.

"Looking for this?" said Loki, waving the wand mockingly in his hands.

"It seems we've started off on the wrong foot," said Dumbledore with a serene but firm tone. "We must remember that force and intimidation will never be the path to a true solution. Now," he continued, observing calmly the one holding his wand, "I would appreciate it if you returned it, as a gesture of goodwill. There's no need to turn this into something more serious than it already is."

"Are you talking to one of Grindelwald's children? Do you think he's afraid of your threats?" said Wanda as she looked at Dumbledore as if he were an idiot.

Upon hearing that last name, Dumbledore was quickly taken aback as he stared intently at Loki.

"I can see you've fought hard to get here. Your actions don't stem from hatred, but from a desire to change something you consider unjust. But this is not the way," Dumbledore said quickly.

"Fought to get here? We simply appeared in the neighborhood and broke some Muggle laws, and before we knew it, we were sitting with his family," Wanda said, pointing at Sirius, who was glaring angrily at Dumbledore.

"What matters is how we choose to act from this moment on. Sit down and talk with us, because even in chaos, there can be understanding," Dumbledore continued, trying to deescalate the emotions.

"How can you speak of empathy and doing what's right, Albus? Explain to me why the warning note for Sirius arrived when it was already too late. Why did you tell James to expect important visitors, and that visitor turned out to be Voldemort? What did you expect us to do against him? Because so far, the Order of the Phoenix arrived almost an hour later. What would have happened if my son and nephew had died? That's why," Lily said furiously, staring at Dumbledore while the other members of the Order listened to that with surprise.

Since they had just received the news, they had traveled quickly in concern and arrived as fast as possible. But now Lily was saying everything had happened an hour ago.

"Lily, I understand your anger, and I will not deny that the circumstances turned out terribly unfortunate. However, my decision to send the warning when I did was not out of negligence, but because there were external factors beyond my control at the time. As for the visit, I could never have predicted that Voldemort would act so swiftly, using tactics that even exceeded our most pessimistic predictions. James knew the danger was near, and I trusted he understood the precautions he needed to take. The Order's delayed arrival was not ideal, I acknowledge that, but it was a maneuver to protect multiple fronts. Difficult decisions are not always fair, but they are made with the hope of minimizing harm on a broader scale," Dumbledore said, explaining his point of view, causing some members of the Order to believe him and begin preparing to fight against Dumbledore's enemies.

"He's better than you," Tony whispered to Loki, referring to how manipulative that old man was in front of them.

"So, since you claim to be so committed to protecting the wizarding world, I will take on the responsibility you clearly haven't fully embraced. I will destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes. Let someone with determination take care of this matter once and for all," Stephen said as he used his portals to make the Horcruxes scattered across the world appear. Something his siblings had seen him do before.

This greatly surprised Dumbledore, as it was the first time he had seen such magic. Then he saw how a sword of light appeared in the young man's hand, and he began destroying each of the five Horcruxes there were. There was even one that was taking the form of Voldemort's soul after his death; that's where it ended.

When he reached this last one, Dumbledore, who had been watching the whole time maintaining his façade of calmness, finally spoke.

"Consider what you're doing. The prophecy will not be fulfilled if we eradicate every fragment of his soul without purpose. Voldemort must be defeated by the one the prophecy points to, or we risk altering destiny in unpredictable ways. Destroying the Horcrux might seem like the right act, but... is it truly the path that ensures the end of his threat?" he said with a hint of urgency in his voice, giving a warning.

"Which prophecy are you talking about exactly? The one that says Harry has to die in the end? If that's your brilliant plan, it seems your version of protecting the wizarding world is crueler than any of ours," Stephen said while keeping the glowing sword in his hand and, without a second thought, stabbed right into the heart of whatever was forming.

With that, the last Horcrux began to shriek in pain as black smoke emerged from it and then started turning to ashes.

"Then it will be you. If destiny no longer has a Voldemort, the balance requires a new focus. Accept your role, because the wizarding world demands it," Dumbledore said quickly, looking at Stephen with anger. Then he began using magic without his wand.
