Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

"Roger, why are humans always at war? Can't they resolve conflicts through other means?"

As their journey progressed, Harry was once again forced to confront it.

War!

Humans killing humans, wizards killing humans, humans killing wizards, wizards killing wizards—massacre, massacre, this land of conflict, the cruel scenes that played out, even more so than in Germany.

Through constantly tracing history, Harry had deeply realized that battle and conflict were the main themes of history, and peace was often just a fleeting illusion.

Not to mention far away, within 1 meter of himself, there was a firsthand witness to a brutal war.

Even himself, he had been at the center of a wizarding war.

"Hmm—" Roger pondered for a moment. The question was simple, but also complex.

He needed to think about how to explain it to Harry.

"Two reasons, I guess. You've seen the history of Germany, and you've seen Germany's invasion of Greece. The answer lies within."

"Back then, the German economy had collapsed. The surrounding countries, let alone helping, it was already considered morally high-minded if they didn't kick them when they were down. In that situation, if they wanted to turn the tables, they had to use extraordinary means."

"While Germany's invasion of Greece was a different situation. Perhaps they had other means of solving the problem, but none were as simple and quick as invasion."

Speaking of which, Roger thought of a more vivid example: "If we compare the world to Hogwarts, each interest group is like a student."

"If a student is always bullied, and no teacher helps him uphold justice, and the conflict accumulates to the extreme, extreme events will definitely occur."

"And if a powerful sixth-year student takes a fancy to a first-year student's toy, if there are no teachers or parents to control him, then he will definitely feel that directly snatching it is the quickest method, anyway, the first-year student can't beat him."

Simply put, some conflicts can only be resolved by a war of life and death, and some... the backward will be beaten.

Harry nodded after listening. He understood the meaning, but he couldn't accept it. "Roger—I hate war."

Wooden sticks and guns are things that boys like when they are young.

Holding a straight wooden stick and imagining himself as a wandering swordsman, or holding a toy gun and imagining that one day he would become a hero, many people have had this experience.

But when he really saw the war, the former fantasies all vanished.

There is no glory here, only guarding the family behind you, charging while crying, wielding butcher knives for greed, being escorted to the battlefield by so-called faith—no matter what the reason, in the end, only the broken corpses of the same kind are left.

"This world is like Hogwarts, each interest group is like a student—then if someone can become a teacher, wouldn't everything change?" Harry thought along Roger's line of thought.

"It's difficult. Teachers are also biased. Think about you and Professor Snape." Roger didn't care much about this.

War is inevitable. Even if there is no war between humans, there will always be—

"It's too early for you to think about this kind of problem. Even if you figure something out, you don't have the ability to change it. You might as well study magic hard, and in the future, find some like-minded people to see if you can do something."

Although Roger was not optimistic about Harry, he did not deny him.

He can pursue 'eternal life,' something that is almost impossible.

Why can't others pursue 'peace'?

Peace sounds easier than eternal life. "Learn magic, like-minded people—?"

Speaking of like-minded people, Harry couldn't help but recall what he had seen in the Time-Turner Charm, those who hoped that Germany could be revived, risking their lives for it, and those who stood against them, the group with red will.

Add myself?

Huh?

Harry suddenly froze.

Like-minded?

In this world, is there anyone more like-minded with 'oneself' than 'oneself'?!

In the past, Harry was unable to trust another version of himself from another timeline, which led to his Time Magic path encountering...

But now, Harry seemed to suddenly understand something.

Yes, people's hearts are fickle. Harry knew very well that he sometimes acted a bit out of line, so he couldn't achieve absolute trust in himself.

But Harry believed that no matter what timeline he was from, the desire to save his parents would not change!

He was willing to risk his life to pull them back from the river of time.

In other matters, Harry might not be able to trust himself, but this matter was different.

He would not even use this as an excuse to deceive, he would not tarnish the love for his family in his heart.

"I understand," Harry murmured.

He knew how to gain the trust of his past self.

Use a common aspiration that would never be betrayed!

Before achieving the ultimate goal, he could trust all versions of himself from all timelines with confidence.

Although he didn't have Roger's sense of crisis, at this moment, Harry understood how his path should go.

On the tenth day of arriving in Greece, Nicolaos felt that the child named Harry Potter seemed to have changed in some way.

But he didn't ask much. He knew his position. He wouldn't be nosy about things he shouldn't ask.

Greece is one of the important birthplaces of ancient wizards. Some powerful wizards have lived here. He has always been very curious about the true past of those wizards.

If he annoyed these two big shots who could trace the past with a few words, Nicolaos would really regret it for the rest of his life.

"Mr. Nicolaos, let's go see the ancient wizards today."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" Remembering always brings a response. Nicolaos had waited so long, and finally heard these words.

The former residences of those ancient wizards are not places that anyone can go to. Even if Nicolaos is the Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, he has to say hello to the department in charge of this aspect.

—Only a small part of these residences are open to wizard tourists for visits, and most of them are actually under the strict control of the Greek Ministry of Magic.

This is not only for profit considerations, but also for safety concerns.

In that era when the magic system was not yet perfect, those ancient wizards were very wild. Similar to Azkaban's large-scale experimental field, Greece also had similar ones.

Although it wasn't so exaggerated that it created monsters like Dementors, the degree of danger was not small, at least to the extent that people couldn't just break into it.

While Nicolaos went to make arrangements, Roger also slightly recalled his trip in the past few days.

In these few days, Harry had new ideas about how his path of time and space should go. Roger felt that his current path had a bit of a 'grand aspiration to establish the Way' flavor.

Whether it can be achieved, Roger is still observing.

On his side, he also has new plans for the future development of three-dimensional magic.

However, not everything in the journey is good. Roger also has some regrets.

"I thought I could see the Zodiac Twelve Palaces—it's really not there."

Speaking of the initial impression of Greece, many people can't do without that stroke from "Saint Seiya" in their childhood.

Roger thought that this magical world might have something similar.

As a result, under the Parthenon Temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, there are indeed some buildings, but they are not the residences of the Gold Saints, nor are there wizarding magic spaces, only the dilapidated temples of other gods.

Roger even questioned Nicolaos about this, but he said that the Greek wizarding world really didn't have that kind of organization guarding the goddess.

".- Speaking of which, the Second Magic doesn't necessarily have to be the Arcanist's set, giving the Greek region a special edition of Little Universe seems not impossible."

But thinking carefully, the Little Universe seems to be particularly idealistic. If you want to do it, the difficulty is probably extremely high.

Before Roger could think of a result, Nicolaos had already returned.

"Roger, let's go, the application has been approved." He shook the permit in his hand.

From Nicolaos's sunny expression, it could be seen that he was obviously very much looking forward to this exploration of the secrets of ancient wizards.
