Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

“Roger, what do you want to do?” Dumbledore saw a hint of something ominous in Roger's expression.

Roger casually shook his head: “It's nothing, I just feel that when the wheels of the times start turning,

there will always be some discordant notes, but that doesn't mean anything.”

“The progress of history will never be stagnant because of this.”

Whether in the past or now, in any region of the world, the emergence of a major new thing will definitely cause opposition.

Just like the birth of the loom, and the increasingly powerful AI, everyone knows that this thing is a symbol of progress,

and can enable civilization to develop better.

But the problem is, human civilization becoming stronger does not mean that one can live better.

There are also quite a few people like tinkers and oil vendors who are abandoned by the times.

Those who spend most of their lives honing a skill, with a casual remark, will have their entire industry denied and lose their means of livelihood. They will definitely want to find a way to resist.

This is just about making money.

But for some people in the Ministry of Magic, virtual reality technology is a matter of life and death!

This is a political struggle that kills without bloodshed!

“I understand their unease, but I will not show mercy to those who are determined to be my enemy,” Roger said.

Just like in the Middle East, those USA soldiers, not all of them are necessarily stained with sin, but when they point their guns at you, there is no point in saying anything else.

Roger is now the director of the Virtual Reality Technology Management Office, a big title, but virtual reality technology is currently only used within Hogwarts.

Although it has attracted some attention, it is not particularly noticed under Roger's low profile.

Everyone's energy is still more focused on Roger himself.

But it's different after Voldemort sneaks into the Ministry of Magic.

With Voldemort's knowledge, coupled with his contract with Grindelwald, he can see the endless potential of virtual reality at a glance, and this potential may be realized quickly.

Voldemort is already crazy enough to play with time magic for his dreams.

How could he let Roger grow arbitrarily.

The people behind Roger in the Ministry of Magic are Dumbledore and a group of pure-bloods headed by the Board of Governors.

This is a considerable force.

But as mentioned before, the Ministry of Magic is an institution established after the International Statute of Secrecy hundreds of years ago, where various families and wizarding factions work together.

Dumbledore is not the only one in charge.

As long as Voldemort passes some information to the hands of those who “need” it, someone will naturally choose to block Roger's industrial expansion.

Just as Voldemort will not let Roger grow stronger, they will not let their political enemies expand arbitrarily.

They can accept being at a disadvantage, but they absolutely cannot accept a complete defeat!

“Roger, don't mess around.” Dumbledore's frown deepened.

Roger then indicated that Dumbledore was overthinking: “Don't worry, I will ‘observe etiquette before resorting to force’.”

The situation is a bit different from the Middle East battlefield. Those people in the Ministry of Magic lack the ability to truly threaten him.

So Roger will make them recognize the situation and give them a chance, and if they refuse to ‘join if they can't beat him’, Roger's real action will begin.

— Roger believes that no one should be so narrow-minded, right?

The next day, the Gryffindor common room.

“What's in the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin?” Although Harry refused to accompany Roger yesterday in order not to hold him back, it would be fake to say he wasn't curious.

After all, that was Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts!

For Harry, the Hogwarts acceptance letter was the most important turning point in his life, and he had a special feeling for everything about Hogwarts.

“Just like what I told you before, there's only the Basilisk, and everything else has been emptied by Slytherin's ‘heir’.” As he said that, Roger pointed his finger at Harry's forehead.

Harry subconsciously touched the strangely shaped scar on his head and instantly understood.

“Okay, let's not talk about this, are you going to continue to participate in Quidditch this year?” Seeing that Harry's mood was visibly low because Voldemort was mentioned, Roger changed the subject.

Although he felt that only a little over a week had passed, Harry had just been trapped in a time loop by Voldemort for about half a year.

He is now somewhat “allergic” to Voldemort.

“Of course, I will continue to participate.” Harry replied without any hesitation.

After Roger's transformation, Harry's current athletic ability has reached the world's top level, and there is no problem in participating in world-class Quidditch competitions.

To dominate a Hogwarts school sports event is like a professional player bullying an amateur.

Honestly, the current Hogwarts Quidditch is difficult to bring Harry any athletic fun.

Perhaps only the world-class arena can make him feel challenged.

But this does not mean that the game is meaningless to Harry.

“I want to win the Quidditch championship for Gryffindor for seven years, just like Slytherin won the House Cup for seven years.” Harry had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little distant.

Roger knew that Harry was probably thinking of his parents. His father used to be an excellent Gryffindor Quidditch player.

Distraction from Quidditch will definitely take up some of Harry's time to study magic.

But Roger didn't mean to stop him at all, and didn't even mention it.

Because magic is not something that can be strengthened by pure effort.

Otherwise, Hogwarts' education method would not be club + happy education, but should be the Eastern exam-oriented tactics.

Magic is strengthened by the mind.

Harry's desire is part of his psychological needs. If you stop him, you may not get good results.

It's like the education of Muggle students, you have to study when you should study, and you have to play when you should play, and you have to play well.

Otherwise, the probability of having psychological problems in the future will definitely not be small.

And for wizards, what kind of impact psychological problems can have after being magnified by magic, only God knows.

— At least Voldemort's childhood experience made him unable to get out of his life. He seemed powerful,

but in fact, he has always been trapped in the past.

“Then what about you?”

“Besides magic, what do you have to do this semester?” Roger looked to his side.

At noon, there were quite a few people in the Gryffindor common room, and many Gryffindor little wizards who preferred a quieter environment would pass the time in the common room.

Hermione, who was asked by Roger, was the same.

She put down the 《Dangerous Black Magic Materials》, which was painted with various key points, turned her head and looked up at Roger, and replied seriously, “Read some books about Muggle politics.”

After the experience of the summer vacation, she saw that there were many problems in the wizarding society, but few wizards would pay attention to these problems.

For wizards, the world seems to be like this from birth, and it should be like this.

But Hermione has a different view on this.

She had a mind link with many wizards, but couldn't find the final answer, so she placed her hope in Muggle politics.

Roger scratched his head. He understood Hermione's thoughts, but...

“It's good that you are willing to find a way to solve the problem, but is there a possibility that magic is a better way to solve the problems you encounter than politics?”

In Roger's eyes, all social system chaos is an appearance, and its root is human nature.

Whether it is house elves, the contradiction between Muggle wizards and pure-blood wizards, or even the various problems Hermione has encountered.

Political improvement can only treat the symptoms, only by changing human beings themselves with magic can the root cause be cured.

When Hermione and Roger were conducting wand upgrade research together in Ollivander's wand shop, they often communicated together, even more frequently than when they were at school last year.

So Hermione also knew a little about Roger's thinking when thinking about problems, but she didn't agree with Roger's words.

“You are right. When magic is strong enough to a certain extent, matter is extremely abundant, and human beings become more advanced creatures, my problems will definitely have a new answer.”

“But ah.”

“Roger, you are also a person who is well-read in magic history and Muggle history, you should be clearer than anyone else.”

“When civilization enters the next stage, the problems of the previous stage will basically be answered.”

“But the civilization of the new stage will definitely have the problems of the new stage.” Hermione said, with a different kind of brilliance flashing in her eyes, as if she foresaw the future at this moment like a prophet.

Many problems in the primitive tribal era do not exist in modern civilization, but are there fewer problems in modern civilization?

No, modern civilization will only have more problems than the tribal era.

The more complex the society, the more contradictions there are.

Hermione has reason to believe that even if Roger's three-dimensional magic and second magic power are popularized to every human being on earth, and everyone becomes exceptionally powerful.

When people no longer have to worry about making a living, but have more pursuits.

What awaits will not be a pure land like Utopia.

But is — . A truly meaningful, complete social collapse!

When everyone can survive without relying on others, what reason do people have to live in groups?

Psychological comfort for social animals?

Roger has already given a ‘perfect’ answer to that kind of thing.

【Second Magic Power · Virtual Reality!】

Wouldn't being the creator god in your own world be much more satisfying than having to read people's faces in the real world?

“Listen—· So that's how it is.” Hearing this, Roger finally understood that he hadn't seemed to fully grasp Hermione's thoughts before.

It was because he knew Hermione's original fate that he had some preconceived notions.

Hermione cares about house-elves and other vulnerable groups in the wizarding world.

But she doesn't just care about these things.

What Hermione wants now is a—'Perfect World'!
