Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

#82 - One is born extraordinary, the other is divine

Ordinary people fear the consequences, but Bodhisattvas fear the cause.

In the eyes of those who can truly see the future, the world appears completely different.

The movement of a small stone, the condition of a horseshoe, or a missing step in the production of a baseball can all cause the timeline to shift into a different form.

When completely confined within Nurmengard Castle, even if Grindelwald could see more, it was meaningless; he had no ability to interfere.

But from the moment Dumbledore stepped into Nurmengard, everything changed.

Like Archimedes with his fulcrum, he had obtained the lever that could move the Earth.

However, Dumbledore hesitated about breaking the cage, and Grindelwald harbored similar feelings in his heart.

The future was muddied by Roger's interference, and all he saw were numerous possibilities that had not yet converged. Grindelwald didn't know what consequences would arise if he truly went out.

Unlike Roger, who had no attachments, Grindelwald had something he wanted to protect, cherished emotions; he was a person with weaknesses, and he feared the unknown.

Therefore, Grindelwald played a game with Dumbledore.

‘Don't let Voldemort get the diary.’

If Dumbledore went to find that little seer without hesitation, it would prove that Dumbledore's trust in Roger had reached a certain level, and at the same time, he was very eager to get answers from him in various senses.

This meant that Dumbledore believed in him, but didn't need him.

Grindelwald knew Roger's style of doing things very well; he would definitely answer Dumbledore's doubts, and Lucius couldn't possibly resist Dumbledore with Roger's help.

Voldemort would therefore miss his diary.

And if Dumbledore hesitated and didn't immediately go to find Roger, it would mean that Dumbledore was wary of Roger in his heart, and in various senses, he was also uneasy about him; he, like himself, feared the unknown.

This meant that Dumbledore didn't believe in him, but needed him.

Then…

The future would become like it is now.

Voldemort might not have the courage to let the young self in the diary devour the current self.

But Voldemort would communicate with the self in the diary, and his style and methods would be influenced by the diary.

Facing a terrifying seer, Voldemort, unwilling to give up struggling, would likely choose a method that was safer than facing Roger directly, which is…

“Hahahaha…” In the empty Nurmengard Castle, Grindelwald laughed softly to himself.

After a long while, a sigh: “It turns out that after getting old, one's personality really changes.”

It was unknown whether this sentence was about Dumbledore or himself. Grindelwald had given his answer.

And Dumbledore responded with silence.

He left Nurmengard without saying anything, without releasing Grindelwald, nor doing anything to him, as if leaving everything to fate.

Seemingly saying nothing, Dumbledore's actions had already given the answer.

Entrusting the future of a seer to fate?

What an interesting joke.

“What's wrong? In a bad mood?”

In the Headmaster's office, Roger was originally chatting with the magical portraits of the previous Headmasters, exchanging views on magic. Seeing Dumbledore return, he turned to look at him.

Then, he keenly noticed the abnormality in Dumbledore's emotions.

“It's nothing, it's just that I don't know if I've done something wrong.” After experiencing the Horcrux diary incident, Dumbledore became less secretive in front of Roger and more candid.

Without Dumbledore saying it, Roger could guess.

After all, he went to find Grindelwald one moment and returned with a long face the next.

What else could it be?

Roger looked at him and thought for a moment, then said: “Headmaster Dumbledore, have you ever heard this saying?”

“All disadvantages and failures stem from the inadequacy of the person involved—from a Muggle's point of view, this statement is very problematic, because a person's ability has an upper limit, and there are too many things they can't do.”

“But wizards are different.”

Roger picked up the book "Three-Dimensional Theory" on the desk and placed it in front of Dumbledore.

“We have infinite possibilities.”

‘If you feel lost and conflicted, then become stronger.’

‘Power will never abandon you; power can allow you to avoid all sadness and shatter all pain.’

Reversing life and death, reversing time, manipulating thoughts, the wizarding world really has a ‘regret potion.’

Looking at Roger's smiling face, Dumbledore sighed softly and took the book from Roger's hand.

He still couldn't let go, but he really had nothing else he could do.

“Let's continue our magical research.” Seeing Dumbledore regain some composure, Roger said.

Ever since Dumbledore returned from Austria, which was at the end of December 1991, he had already agreed to his invitation, and now the two were working together to make the framework of the Three-Dimensional Theory more substantial.

Transforming it from a system with only bones into something with flesh and blood and a complex system.

However, Dumbledore didn't immediately open the book and start today's work, but asked about another matter: “I heard you have started teaching Harry time magic?”

“Yes.” Because he had already discussed this with him, Roger replied without hesitation.

“He's just starting out, and Harry is a reliable person. He won't mess around with my spells. He won't cause any major trouble.”

,

Time magic is crucial to whether Harry can revive his parents. With Harry's love for his parents, he would never joke about such things.

He would definitely use the magic Roger taught him cautiously.

“To prevent accidents, I also left something like a ‘Trace’ on him. You can rest assured.”

Dumbledore shook his head: “That's not what I'm concerned about.'

Although time magic is dangerous, with a seer watching, Dumbledore wasn't too worried—at least, he wouldn't be too worried before Roger had a problem.

“Roger, you should be able to sense it.”

“You and Harry are different from other wizards.”

Dumbledore's expression was very serious: “This difference is not just in strength and talent, but also in your identities.”

“Seer and Savior, leader, idol—from the moment you stepped into the wizarding world, you have been watched by a large number of people and forces.”

“Your every move is not just your own business; it will also have a profound impact on the people around you.”

In the original destiny, the wizarding world waited for this savior for 11 years, and everyone had high expectations for him, after all, he was the one who ‘defeated Voldemort’ in legend.

Voldemort's rise was accompanied by blood and fire, and too many people were harmed by him and his Death Eaters. The attention these people who had suffered from Voldemort's persecution paid to Harry Potter was unimaginable.

Many people were very certain that Harry Potter would be a 20th-century Merlin.

But this attention dissipated greatly as people discovered that he was just an ordinary, excellent young wizard, not ‘born strong’ like many great wizards in ancient legends, based on his performance at school.

As time went on, people would become more and more disappointed, until they reached the point where no one believed Harry Potter even when he said “Voldemort is really back.”

Harry Potter went from being a savior to a mortal, and then from a mortal to a savior again. This was his original trajectory.

But now it's completely different.

On the Quidditch pitch, Harry broke the Quidditch record since the founding of Hogwarts with amazing skill, winning a crushing victory.

After possessing the powerful courage to face fear, Harry's mental strength grew at an extremely fast rate. In addition, Roger lent him his homemade “inferior version of the wizard system” for a period of time, as well as the practical training he conducted with Snape in preparation for the final battle with Voldemort.

Harry was not inferior to the upperclassmen of Hogwarts in practical combat.

Yesterday, Harry even learned time magic, which only a very few people in the entire wizarding world could use, and at this moment, Harry was only 11 years old and had only been learning magic for about half a year.

This made those who were paying attention to Harry Potter extremely certain.

That's right, this is what the savior they had in mind for 11 years should look like!

And Roger's outrageousness was far above Harry Potter!

One was born extraordinary, and the other was divinely inspired.

At Hogwarts, the students were not very worldly, so the atmosphere was not so strong.

But outside the school.

The call that “Our generation is about to witness an important history that will affect future generations for thousands of years!” had already resounded through the sky.

History is created by the people, and the people are also the driving force behind the progress of history. This sentence is fine in the Muggle world.

But in the wizarding world, where great power belongs to oneself, the strong have the ability to create the history they want on their own!

Although Hogwarts is a boarding school, it does not prohibit the flow of information, and students can write letters home at any time.

“The fact that you taught Harry time magic in public has spread to the outside world.”

‘Really? Then they're quite gossipy.’” Roger hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem.

“The Ministry of Magic has already proposed amending the law, regarding time magic.”

“”—Ah?” Roger didn't react for a moment.

After two seconds, Roger frowned: “Are you serious?”

"I just taught a self-developed spell? This is too outrageous!"

Two first-year, eleven-year-old students exchanging knowledge, and the country wants to adjust the law?

Is that reasonable?

Dumbledore's expression remained serious: "It's true."

Seeing that he didn't mean it as a joke, Roger also became serious: "Can you tell me the whole story?"
