But soon, he will understand that he has a real opponent who won't fight with death and destruction but with cunning and diplomacy. Tom tried it before, and the headmaster thwarted him at every turn. But this time, he has me, and a few important families to support his agenda, thanks to it. It won't be an easy win, but this time, the battle for our world will go in his favour. If it doesn't, we won't have a world to protect anymore in two generations tops. If the muggles discover us, it will be annihilation. That's simply not an option."
