Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity
#65 - The legacy of war
"Roger, come on, let's go have a snowball fight with Slytherin! We need a pro!"
December 25th, Christmas Day.
The first semester was over, and most of the students and teachers had already returned to their respective homes according to past holiday customs to reunite with their families, not to return until the beginning of January when the holidays ended.
Of course, there were also some people who chose to stay at school for various reasons.
These students who stayed at school also had their own entertainment activities, which were very festive.
"No, I haven't finished my work yet." Roger, sitting at the long table in the Gryffindor common room, looked up at the classmate who called him and responded.
"Oh." Hearing Roger say this, the Gryffindor classmate didn't pester him.
This semester's contact had made many people understand what kind of person Roger was.
There were no lies or excuses in his mouth. If he said he was busy, he really had serious business to do.
After that classmate left, Roger continued to lower his head, picking up his pen and writing and drawing in his notebook.
Although Roger had the ability to use magic 'Transfiguration Creation', just like when he shared the internal space-time research report of the Department of Mysteries with Harry.
But magic will eventually dissipate one day, so it still needs to be written out little by little to be preserved for a long time.
"Roger, what are you writing?" Hermione, who was passing by with a book in her arms, curiously leaned her head over.
In her impression, since Roger had absolute memory ability and no longer took notes, she hadn't seen him writing much anymore.
"Some theoretical materials that I have researched. The headmaster said he would also like to take a look, and I would also like to discuss with him how feasible this theory is." As he said this, Roger's thoughts returned to last night.
After expressing his willingness to let Dumbledore see the information on the path of magic, Dumbledore did not continue to talk about Roger's magic.
Instead, he changed the subject and talked about the Middle East, telling Roger about the results of the matter there.
This time, Dumbledore's Middle East 'Great Expedition' had a very strange ending.
On the one hand, those Middle Eastern wizards who had been making a lot of noise before, when they saw that Dumbledore had really descended on the Middle East, all looked like 'Are you playing for real?' and became silent.
Without Dumbledore even needing to knock them down, they instantly gave in.
But on the other hand, some other wizards who had not been speaking out much before jumped out and confronted Dumbledore.
These wizards were composed of two groups of people. The first group was purely dissatisfied with Dumbledore's actions.
"Yes, our wizards here have done something wrong, but isn't what you are doing even more wrong?"
In the eyes of these wizards, although those Middle Eastern wizards were making noise, they did not launch large-scale military actions, let alone terrorist attacks. As a result, you, Dumbledore, came to suppress them so forcefully.
We only played 'a pair of 9s', and you directly 'Royal Flush'. I launched public opinion and border harassment, at most adding a bit of blocking your export of magical materials, and you directly deployed nuclear bombs to suppress the border. Isn't that a bit unethical?
Do you think we Middle Eastern wizards are scared?
Well, they just felt uncomfortable being slapped in the face.
This part was easy to talk about. Dumbledore, as the president of the International Confederation of Wizards, also had some diplomatic skills, so it was not too much trouble to solve.
The key was the other group of people.
Roger initially intervened in the Muggle war in the Middle East in the name of a religious prophet, and did a great job, even affecting the direction of the war to some extent.
Afterwards, Roger was arrested and tried in Britain.
The United States opened a new Middle East order.
A large number of Middle Eastern civilians rescued by Roger returned to life after the war... On the surface, that's how it was.
But this matter didn't end so simply!
The wizarding world has the International Statute of Secrecy, magic cannot appear in front of Muggles, revealing the existence of magic to most Muggles.
You Britain can pat your butt and acquit Roger.
But what about us?
Too many civilians know about the 'Prophet'!
Although they don't know that it is magic, the birth of a prophet with 'miracles' is almost a household name in some areas!
It's easy in Europe and America.
The American Magical Congress, in conjunction with the chaebols, used public opinion weapons to confuse the public.
In Europe and America, no one has really seen the Prophet. Under the impact of a large amount of garbage information, they are skeptical of the truth.
They thought it was just a battlefield fantasy story.
And here in the Middle East, many people were personally saved by the Prophet!
Word of mouth, one to ten, ten to a hundred.
When the number reaches a terrifying number of tens of millions, memory erasure is impossible.
The real upper echelons of the five major ruffians of the Muggle society cannot allow the wizarding community to intervene in the spiritual will of so many people before things become irreversible.
Loyal to the country, loyal to the people, loyal to faith... Not all wizards wear the same pants as those so-called pure-blood wizards. The upper echelons of various countries have some Muggle-faction wizards that they can mobilize.
Wizards cannot act arbitrarily and do whatever they want. Wizards and Muggles are not clearly separated, but you are in me and I am in you.
Even within the Middle Eastern wizards, there have always been people who stood on the side of the Prophet, and their attitude was even more strange... All forces were intertwined and deadlocked.
Thus, the 'semi-publicization of transcendent power' in some parts of the Middle East became a historical legacy of the Gulf War.
It was okay if Dumbledore didn't come, but once he came, many people wanted Dumbledore to 'uphold justice'!
"I heard that you presided over the acquittal of the great Prophet? Then this pot... cough cough, I mean, this important task is entrusted to you!"
This involves the issue of the International Statute of Secrecy, which is the conservative consensus of most wizards around the world.
Hundreds of years ago, the signing of the Statute of Secrecy changed the global wizarding social structure, and the Ministries of Magic and Magical Congresses of various countries were established as a result.
And today, hundreds of years later, whether the Statute of Secrecy should be resolutely enforced, where the scope of the Statute of Secrecy should be defined, and what to do when the past enforcement methods of the Statute of Secrecy conflict with the will of the top five philanthropists of Blue Star... are all troublesome matters.
Dumbledore was also very troubled when dealing with this kind of thing.
This was the main reason why Dumbledore had been staying in the Middle East for the past two months. Even this time, he was able to temporarily 'escape' back to rest for a while by borrowing Snape's letter for help.
In response, Roger thought about it after the conversation with Dumbledore last night and thought that perhaps this matter was not that difficult to handle.
"Discussing with the headmaster?" Hermione looked at Roger, who was thinking about things while copying, and leaned her head slightly to take a look.
Change, intervention, life-level leap, dimension, time and space, the self of the mind, the collective unconscious of mankind...
Hermione knew every word when they were separated, but when they were put together...
What the hell is this?!
Hermione slowly moved her gaze away and took a deep breath.
Hermione was interested in knowledge and respected knowledge, but learning was more of a weapon for Hermione. She used this weapon to protect herself and establish her position.
She actually wanted to go out and play, but when she saw Roger studying, she always felt a sense of guilt.
The person who is stronger than you is even more hardworking than you. How could she be embarrassed to rest?
But now, this sense of guilt has disappeared.
The person who works harder than you is not necessarily human.
You're competing with someone who could sit down and discuss Dao with Headmaster Dumbledore in the first grade?
Snowball fight with Slytherin? I'll go join in the fun too.
