Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

And Minister for Magic Fudge's in-depth questioning of this matter is definitely not just to satisfy his own curiosity.

Whether the problem lies with Dumbledore or with the virtual reality technology, one fact remains unchanged.

That is, with the full release of virtual reality technology as a starting point, the world is about to enter a new era, just like the Muggle society's industrial revolution.

Now that Fudge has risen to the position of Minister for Magic, he certainly doesn't want to be left behind in the corners of history because he can't keep up with the times.

Having tasted the sweetness of the cloud, who would be willing to fall back into the mud?

He doesn't know whether Dumbledore and Roger's plans, whatever they are, will succeed, but his deeply bound political stance with Dumbledore dictates that Fudge can only follow Dumbledore down this path.

Since his position has already determined the direction, then he might as well go deeper.

His question, at this moment, is more inclined to be a signal.

A signal of "I am willing to form a closer alliance with you."

Roger stared into Fudge's eyes, and could only see a serious look in them.

Then he chuckled and said, "Dumbledore is fine, nothing happened to him. Virtual reality does have some other things behind it, but you don't need to think too much. Its true role will soon be revealed, and you will know it then."

"Mr. Fudge, you just need to do your job well."

"You have done well in the past, and I believe that in the future, and for a long time to come, you will continue to do well."

While speaking, Roger seemed to be looking at Fudge, and also seemed to be looking at something else behind Fudge.

Roger doesn't like being a riddle-maker, but some people are too straightforward, and they tend to overthink.

If you carelessly send him an empty lunch box, he might even take drastic actions because of it.

So, for people like Fudge, in order to avoid certain misunderstandings, he has to follow the direction of the crisis premonition and circle around with him.

"—I understand," Fudge nodded, seemingly understanding.

This means he's willing to accept me, but doesn't quite trust me?

Fudge pondered for a moment, and then he understood.

That's right.

After all, he doesn't have much value to them. He can only sit firmly in the position of Minister for Magic now because he has Dumbledore's endorsement.

The major events of the past year have kept Fudge overwhelmed, especially the case of the break-in at the Department of Mysteries, which has not been resolved to this day. Bearing such a political stain, various things have left him no time to consolidate his power.

And since he hasn't submitted any "pledge of allegiance," even if he's willing to defect, would they be willing to trust him?

. — . It's difficult.

This in itself is a positive attitude.

So, what he needs to do next is to gain trust. It's difficult, but it still needs to be done.

The things in life that are truly valuable are never easy.

Roger didn't talk to Fudge for too long.

After giving Fudge the answer he wanted, Roger said goodbye to him.

Roger came to the Ministry of Magic not only to hold a press conference, but also for a purpose, which was to confirm whether Grindelwald had the same "harassment annihilation layer" phenomenon as himself.

And this point, Roger doesn't need to confirm by meeting him.

Roger is always surrounded by a massive amount of harassment rainbows. As long as he confirms whether there are any other 'hollows' besides himself in the coverage area of the harassment rainbows, that's enough.

And obviously, this kind of hollow does not exist.

Roger already knew the answer.

The phenomenon on his body is not because he is a Seer.

Then—

A new confusion arose in Roger's heart.

He wanted to return to the Middle East, the place where it all began.

Perhaps there would be a different answer there.

But there were really too many things in front of him, and Roger really couldn't find the time.

Soon, the virtual reality device will be publicly sold to the entire British wizarding world. In order to avoid some unexpected situations, Roger will definitely have to keep an eye on it himself. At this time, it is impossible for him to leave the UK.

In the end, Roger could only sigh lightly, Apparate away from the Ministry of Magic, and return to the village near Hogwarts.

Hogsmeade Village.

There are many secret passages in Hogwarts that lead to the wizarding village of Hogsmeade.

Hogwarts students in their third year and above can leave Hogwarts on weekends with the consent of their guardians to play here, but obviously not all students can get consent, and they also have their own 'methods'.

That is, these secret passages.

Although Apparition is prohibited within Hogwarts, the Floo Network is not prohibited.

The reason why Roger didn't directly use the Floo Network of the Ministry of Magic to go back was naturally because he had something to do in Hogsmeade Village.

"Is this the place..." Looking at the villa in front of him, Roger muttered to himself.

Then, he took out his wand and cast the Time-Turner Charm, intercepting past images from the River of Time.

This is Professor McGonagall's house, or rather, her former home.

But since that funeral, she has basically never come back.

In the process of learning magic, Roger owed Professor McGonagall a lot of favors, and if he had the opportunity, he would definitely think about repaying them.

In the past, his strength was not enough to do anything.

But as Harry's time magic becomes more and more in-depth, his own strength will also, with the spread of virtual reality,

Enter a new stage.

Everything should be prepared.

After collecting the intercepted Time-Turner images, Roger found the secret passage from Hogsmeade Village to Hogwarts and returned to Hogwarts.

And this time it was afternoon.

According to the previous agreement, after Roger returned to Hogwarts, he walked towards the Forbidden Forest.

Luna had been waiting for Roger for a long time in a small experimental field that Hagrid had planned for them near the Forbidden Forest.

Although because of some of the things Roger did last semester, Luna did not suffer the bullying from Ravenclaw students in her original fate, but her personality, which was a bit strange even from a wizard's point of view, still prevented her from making any friends.

Even though Roger said that she could be free to move around when he went to the Ministry of Magic, she didn't go anywhere else.

Instead, she observed magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest while waiting for Roger's return.
