As Dumbledore sat in his office, his thoughts were on Voidic.
"He's a very clear danger to the plans. He has very clear knowledge about time travel and whatever 'Parallel dimensions' are. He's presenting dangerous thoughts about the dark arts. If Harry takes these teachings to heart, it's possible that he'll use the Dark Arts himself and be less likely to be under my thumb. Plus, all of the other children are considering his points, If they decided to embrace dark magic, the future of the Wizarding World is in jeopardy! No, Voidic's classes need to be interfered with. But how? Flitwick is out, He's already raptured by voidic like a school child. Pomona is out as well, with Voidic treating the children so well, She's bound to be on his side. Minerva? She's would be neutral between us. Severus? Yes. That sounds good. He's already on my side with Harry, He's treating Harry as downtrodden as possible to lower Harry's magical potential and force him to surround himself with friends. If he can do the same thing with Voidic, treating him as if he's a joke. The Slytherins will turn against him, But what about the Gryffindors?.... Harry. that's the answer. If Harry turns against Voidic, then He'll turn the rest of Gryffindor against him. The Ravenclaws are just after knowledge, they don't have any true loyalties. But Hufflepuff is the tricky one. Voidic is technically a part of their house, and they never turn against one of their own. I'll need to come back to that."
"But There's also the point about the unforgivable being used as Medical spells. How did he know? I specifically destroyed any trace of knowledge about that. I obliviated memories about it. He has only been a part of the wizarding world for a month! There's no way that he found something I overlooked. The only way for that to happen is if he could look into the past. But that's even rarer than Seers. And they aren't compatible with each other. If they were, people with both wouldn't know what the correct date is. Plus, all Seers are unaware that they made any prophecies. But it seems that Voidic is not only aware he can make prophecies, but he can also do it at will! that's the only way that he could possibly know all of the students."
"Then there's all of those different magics that voidic talked about. Sacrificial Magic? I had a feeling that such a thing existed, but there was no proof ever made. And no one was fool enough to attempt it. Plot Magic? More like fool's magic. But if such a thing existed... No. Impossible. Someone being able to harness magic like that would be invincible."
"But how do you explain Ms. Pie?" asked a defiant piece of his brain.
"Yes, that is the question. Even with Voidic's explanation, Ms. Pie still defied all manner of physics. It's like her hair is a black hole that she can put stuff in and out of. More Research is required."
"Voidic obviously knew about Occlumency. He even stated that he used it to protect against the Sorting Hat."
"But the Sorting Hat can get past all Occlumency Shields. No matter how strong. How did he block him out?" Asked the defiant part of his mind again.
"True. True. Voidic mentioned a Mind Palace. Further research is again required."
Dumbledore rubbed his temples to soothe a headache that he felt coming on. He popped a Lemon Drop into his mouth. It's good that he put a mild Calming Draught into them as he made them, or else there could have been countless difficult meetings in here. And Dumbledore would for sure look much older than he is. He's only 122! not 158 like everyone assumed.
"Sympathy. This had never been mentioned in any magical book ever. But it was mentioned in a Muggle book? how is that possible? Then there's this Alar that Voidic promised to teach them. Breaking their minds in half to concentrate on two things at once? This has countless possibilities. It could unlock the wandless potential of every first year to come to Hogwarts! If Voidic truly knew how to do this. He would get his own chocolate frog card! He might even get a seat on the Wizengamot If everyone he taught stood behind him. If Voidic realized this and was teaching them this because of this, Then he could see why the sorting hat would sort him into Slytherin."
"there's also mana. From what Voidic had said, only his brother could use this safely. So he didn't need to worry about this. At least not yet."
"Runes? Nothing to worry about. Babbling had the subject well taught."
"Alchemy? there's no way that it was a coincidence that Voidic mentioned this with the Philosopher's stone in the castle. He needed to move on the protections faster."
"Innate Magic? Only his brother again. But capable of using Lightning without a wand? There's no way that voidic was telling the truth. and even if he was, 'Lightningman' as Voidic called him, would only be able to use it in specific circumstance... Wouldn't he?" Dumbledore gulped slightly, imagining him going up against Lightningman and Voidic at the same time.
"Dream Magic? Whoever this Princess Luna is, she seems to have a solid grip on that. Plus it seems kinda weak. So nothing to worry about there."
"But What about this Void Magic?" Dumbledore raised his right hand to speculate at the now black mark of the Outsider. It came to close to The Dark Mark for Dumbledore's liking. But Voidic said that this was the only way to channel Void Magic. He even branded himself with the mark. or did this 'Outsider' do it to him? He seemed a little sketchy to him. But Voidic said he was most likely mortal or dead now. Giving him the title of 'Master of the Void.'
"The more I get answers about Voidic, the more Questions I have. Who are you Voidic?" Dumbledore held his hand out and attempted to blink as Voidic had described. His students were able to use the power, but himself not being able to? This was an injustice that Dumbledore could not tolerate.
