Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

Roger's current path in magic is, strictly speaking, just beginning.

Although he has learned a lot through Professor McGonagall's books.

It's like an ordinary person understanding the concept of advanced mathematics, which doesn't mean they can do it. They still have to start with 1+1=2, 2x2=4.

Roger's crisis prediction allows him to quickly convert the knowledge he has mastered into various practical techniques once he has fully learned an 'algorithm'.

But it cannot speed up his learning process.

The reason he learns many spells quickly is purely because he is talented, not because of his predictive abilities.

What Roger's predictive ability brings is the accelerated ability to invent and research in the fields related to the human body and self, not the accelerated ability to learn the basics, and even less the ability to conjure up a technology out of thin air.

When looking up at the starry sky, one must also be grounded.

Like his magical research, after deciding not to let Harry interfere and to solve the matter of the Philosopher's Stone himself, Roger's plan was to take it one step at a time.

If they can talk, then talk nicely. If they can't talk nicely, then talk with knives and guns. If knives and guns don't work, then use the ultimate solution.

…Although the current Voldemort is just a remnant soul, he is not considered strong in terms of strength, but even a broken ship has three pounds of nails. If he has any trump cards, it would be bad if any professor or student gets hurt.

The troll incident quickly came to an end.

A low-intelligence magical creature can be quickly dealt with by the professors once its location is confirmed.

Professor Quirrell, who was stunned by Roger's words and confirmed that the Philosopher's Stone was on Roger, did not cause any trouble like in the original timeline.

Instead, he came to the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, near a tapestry with paintings on it, at midnight when everything seemed to have calmed down.

"Professor, you're not going to report me for violating school rules by wandering around at night, are you?" Roger, who had been waiting here for a long time, looked at Professor Quirrell, who had finally arrived, and said jokingly.

At this moment, Professor Quirrell completely lacked the timid appearance he usually had in class, even afraid to make eye contact with students.

Instead, his face was full of gloom, and his eyes were cold.

"You asked me to come here not to talk about these boring things, right?" Quirrell's mouth didn't move at all, and another deep voice came from behind his head.

Roger had whispered his identity in the Great Hall and arranged to meet him here tonight, which is why he appeared here.

Voldemort is in a very bad mood right now.

He thought that this Seer could not predict him, or did not intend to interfere and wanted to live and let live.

But he didn't expect that he would draw firewood from under the cauldron and wait for him here!

"Okay, it seems you're not interested in chatting, so let's get straight to the point. Can you give me this face and continue our previous topic?" Roger said with a smile.

"Why should I?" Voldemort said concisely.

Voldemort wasn't that powerful from the beginning. In his path to growth, he had also pretended to be friendly with others.

But why should I give in now?

You, an 11-year-old little Seer who doesn't know much magic, want me, Voldemort, to retreat?

What a joke!

Roger didn't answer directly, but said, "Actually, I'm doing this for your own good."

"You were never going to get this Philosopher's Stone anyway, so why waste your energy?"

"…Prediction?" Voldemort heard Roger's implication.

Then he chuckled dismissively: "I am the one who controls destiny. Stop trying to fool me with riddles."

Voldemort is someone who believes in the existence of fate. This can be seen from the number of his Horcruxes and Harry's situation.

But Voldemort has never been someone who submits to fate!

He studies arithmancy and divination because he wants to control fate, use the power of fate, and achieve greater accomplishments.

It's not that the savior must be Harry Potter, but that Voldemort chose Harry Potter, and that's why he became the savior!

…It's funny, the more people who can see fate clearly, the more they want to perform an act of conquering nature, even if they usually use the power of fate to profit.

The Seer says he can't get the Philosopher's Stone? Voldemort doesn't believe it.

"Control destiny?" Roger recalled Voldemort's original fate, which, like a certain figure in Greek mythology, led to his own demise, and shook his head helplessly.

"It seems I can't convince you with words alone."

"Let's play a little game." As he spoke, Roger took the final step he hadn't taken before and pushed open the door that had appeared on the wall at some point.

The Room of Requirement appears after walking past this wall three times.

Fortunately, Roger had anticipated that things might not go so smoothly, so he had other preparations.

"I heard that Mr. Voldemort is someone who likes to study fate, but in your life, you seem to have never been enemies with a true Seer, have you?"

In the years when Voldemort rose to power, Grindelwald had already been imprisoned by Dumbledore.

And apart from Grindelwald, the wizards in the wizarding world today can only be said to have some predictive abilities. Calling them Seers, let alone powerful Seers, is far from the mark.

"Don't you feel a little regret?"

After the door was pushed open, the Room of Requirement was a vast and empty place, like the Hogwarts Quidditch match venue.

Sensing the scene inside the door, Voldemort roughly guessed what Roger was going to do, and a hint of interest appeared on his lips under the turban: "What game do you want to play?"

"Compared to Professor Quirrell, how much do you think is the difference in strength between us?"

Voldemort thought for a moment: "Your potential is very high, but it hasn't been realized yet. Based on my usual observation of you, you probably know no more than 30 spells, and most of them are not proficient. You should only be very good at Transfiguration, Levitation Charms, and those self-developed magic."

"You should have mastered Transfiguration to the level of direct combat, which is quite rare. Your mental strength is also good, but… you should have no experience fighting wizards."

"As for Quirrell, although he is a waste, he barely meets the level of an ordinary Hogwarts teacher. If you fight head-on, I think it's about 70-30. Quirrell 70, you 30," Voldemort said truthfully.

Hearing Voldemort say this, Roger nodded without refuting: "Okay, then let me announce the rules of the game."

"The rules are very simple and can be explained in a few words."

"If Professor Quirrell defeats me in a head-on magical duel, the Philosopher's Stone is yours, and I can even bet my arm. The battle is not a one-game win, nor a best of three, but from this moment until the end of the school year, Professor Quirrell will have a chance to challenge me once a week."

"As long as he wins any one game, you win."

"The restriction is that you can guide him with words or help him improve his strength by teaching him magical knowledge, but you cannot directly interfere in the battle. You also cannot try to obtain the Philosopher's Stone by any other means before my game with you ends."

"Of course, I will not use any power other than my own to influence the battle, such as asking other professors to intervene in the battle."

"How about it?" Roger looked calm and composed.

Voldemort roughly calculated that from now until the end of the school year in June, once a week would be about 34 challenge opportunities, and he could also provide off-site guidance.

34 battles, winning just one is a win.

"Heh heh heh, interesting, I agree." Voldemort didn't believe that his judgment would be wrong. Even if Roger's strength deviated from his estimation, it wouldn't be too much.

So Voldemort understood the real 'mystery' of Roger's game with him.

This little Seer wants to show him how a Seer plays with fate!

To make him understand that it is impossible for him to get the Philosopher's Stone from his hands.

Good, since he wants to play, then Voldemort naturally wouldn't dare not accept the challenge!

It just so happens that Voldemort is also curious about what form the power of fate will take in the hands of a Seer.

Overthrow the table and snatch it now? Voldemort doesn't think that a Seer who dares to come here wouldn't prepare a backup plan.

"Then, it's a deal." Roger extended his right hand, making a gesture to shake hands.

The seemingly friendly action made Professor Quirrell unable to help but shrink his pupils.

【Spell - Unbreakable Vow!】

Once an agreement is reached, if it is not completed as required, it will be backfired by the spell and die!

Quirrell carefully recalled the 'conditions' just now, and after confirming that there were no traps, he shook Roger's hand with a slight tremor.

"Two?" Roger's tone was slightly doubtful.

After a few seconds of silence, Voldemort manipulated Quirrell's other hand and shook it as well.

The three parties determined the content of the vow.

The spell was cast!

At this point, Roger showed a satisfied smile.

Now there is no need to worry about unexpected changes that could cause other students and professors to be injured.

Roger abandoned the original path of fate because he didn't want Harry's heart to be traumatized.

But he also didn't want his choices to cause harm to other innocent people.

Therefore.

It's enough for me to bear all the things alone!
