"Both?"

"You wanna take over the world?"

"Well, it sounds bad when you say it like that!"

"I'm pretty sure you phrased it like that."

"Yeah but I didn't say it like that."

Anthony rolls his eyes.

"I wanna solve all problems ever for everyone," he explains.

"Oh. Ambitious."

"That's what I thought!" says Anthony. "Plus it's probably one of the least – evil? – reasons to take over the world, so that's nice."

"Well the other reasons don't even make any sense."

"I mean, if you just want a bunch of power, it makes sense you'd want to own the world."

"But why would you want that? Power's only good if you're gonna use it for something."

Anthony shrugs. "Some people like it for the sake of telling people what to do, or something?"

"Like I said, other reasons that don't make sense."

Shrug. "They might well think 'helping people' is a reason that doesn't make sense."

"Yeah but they're wrong, that's what governments are for."

"For helping people? … Yeah, I guess?"

"What else would they be for?"

(Willow continues watching the conversation in fascination. The frog has long since been consumed.)

"I mean, it might just be to make people think there's, y'know, the government looking over things, but yeah, probably they help people, most of the time?"

"Well it was invented in the first place because people aren't good at coordinating."

"Yeah," he shrugs.

"So I'm gonna be the master coordinator slash king of the world and fix every problem ever. Starting with how Slytherins hate muggleborns."

"They do? Why?"

"It's… it's more stuck-up traditionalist purebloods? Who hate muggleborns? Which kinda… is a lot of the Slytherins, yeah."
