Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

The car engine roared, traffic flowed on the road, and some scorching summer wind blew into the car from the gaps in the windows, but magic prevented the three people inside from feeling any discomfort.

The plane tickets were already booked for this afternoon's flight.

This brief encounter was finally coming to the moment of parting.

"Roger."

"Hmm?"

In this final moment, Charlotte suddenly had a question she wanted to ask: "Do you think Germany's future will get better and better?"

During this time traveling with the two of them, what Harry witnessed, she also witnessed. The young Harry faced the cruelty of this world for the first time, and had more thoughts about life and death.

As an adult within the Ministry of Magic's system, Charlotte was more concerned with the rise and fall of regimes and the prosperity and decline of countries.

Having witnessed too many dark moments in history, she had a deeper understanding of the idea that "history is a spiral." She worried that the suffering that had happened to the German people in the past would be repeated in the future.

This was normal. After all, the world had been turbulent in the past two years, with various wars. Even one of the two superpowers had collapsed. In a turbulent era, in a turbulent country, it was inevitable to have such unease in one's heart.

Although the time they spent together was relatively short, Charlotte still understood Roger's personality a little bit due to his unreserved nature. He was a very straightforward person who would say whatever he had to say directly.

Charlotte wanted to know what the future world looked like in the eyes of this seer.

And Roger's answer was as straightforward as ever: "Don't know."

"... Ah?" Charlotte didn't react for a moment.

She had thought that Roger might refuse to answer, and she had also thought that the answer might be something she didn't want to accept, but she had never thought of this.

After experiencing the events at the Ministry of Magic and the many things she had seen and heard during the journey, Roger, in her eyes, was basically as unfathomable as the legendary Grindelwald.

Didn't know?

She didn't understand.

Roger and Harry were sitting in the back seat of the car. They couldn't see Charlotte's expression, but they could hear some of her thoughts from her tone.

"Actually, outsiders always have some misunderstandings about seers."

"Although we have the ability to observe the future, it doesn't mean that we can keep a close eye on everything that happens in the future, almost omnisciently." Even Roger's almost rule-breaking crisis prediction could only be triggered when Roger was about to encounter a crisis.

"If seers were really that powerful, Grindelwald would probably have conquered the world long ago, instead of encountering setbacks several times and finally losing to Dumbledore."

"Normally speaking, what we see is just a possibility of the future, it's 'something that might happen,' not something that will definitely happen."

The future has deviated from the moment it is observed. In the eyes of people who don't understand the path of destiny, prophecy is an almost immutable destiny, because what they observe is only a point in the future.

Sometimes, it even happens that their observation leads the future to develop in the direction of that point, which is absurd.

But in the eyes of powerful seers who have more control over destiny, destiny is not like this.

Otherwise, Grindelwald wouldn't have come out to cause trouble. If everything was destined, what would be the point of all the fuss?

I can now use the power of prophecy to observe what developments Germany will have in the future, but what I see is, at best, what might happen in Germany in the future based on "this moment."

"During this period, if I, Grindelwald, or other people who can strongly interfere with fate make major changes in our behavior, then the future will be biased towards another direction - so predicting this is meaningless."

When the future can be greatly changed, observing the distant future will only disturb people's minds, making them unable to see the road ahead, and blindly indulging in the illusion of possibilities.

To give an inappropriate example, a couple suddenly chatted about how they should spend the 1 million they would save in the future, and the more they talked, the more explosive it became, and the two of them argued fiercely for this...- If you treat a certain possibility of the future as a given fact to plan out-of-line things.

"However, if you are curious about this, I do have an idea that might give you some reference."

In fact, Roger, in some ways, is just like Harry, somewhat specialized in certain areas.

After all, after thousands of years of development, the magic system has become quite complex, and even if Roger has a second brain as an aid, it is impossible to be comprehensive.

At least, dark magic, magical zoology, and potion making are not Roger's strengths.

Of course, Roger's so-called unspecialized refers to comparing it with his own specialized fields, as well as comparing it with those masters who are good at these fields.

He often communicates with Voldemort, Snape, and Hagrid.

He is no longer on the same level as ordinary students.

"Why come here?" Charlotte asked, glancing at the watch on her wrist. 12 noon, there was still time to catch the plane.

Otherwise, she would have to go through the Ministry of Magic's diplomatic application process, use the international Floo Network, or change flights.

"Because it's more convenient here." Roger said with a smile, stepping on the ruins under his feet.

After a long time, the three reunited here again, the place where Harry first cast the large-scale Time Illusion Shuttle Charm.

The Berlin Wall!

Last time it was Harry who waved his wand here, and this time, it was Roger who drew his wand.

He raised his wand to the sky and gently 'stirred'.

It was as if there was an invisible magic cauldron hanging upside down in the air.

While stirring the wand, Roger began to say: "The strength of a country does not completely lie in the so-called GDP, how many warships and cannons there are, and whether the people can be fed, or rather, these are all part of the country's strength, but the country's power is not only composed of them."

"Extremely high economic development may end up only enriching the pockets of a few hundred people. No matter how many guns and cannons there are on paper, if the army is unwilling to fight, it doesn't mean much. And people's hearts are greedy, and no matter how well people live, there will always be people who are dissatisfied and resentful."

"What truly measures the strength of a country and a nation is actually just a few words: organizational power."

If we use Roger's three-dimensional theory, it is the amount of higher-order medium dimensions.

"Don't look at the data on paper, look at how much funds you can actually mobilize, how many weapons, how many people are of one heart with you, what is the overall sum of the strength of these people, add and multiply according to their respective weight values, as long as the final total value can be among the best, it is enough to gain a foothold in this world."

There are many battlefield cases in history where the few defeated the many, excluding the special circumstances of favorable timing and terrain, and battles where meteorites fell from the sky.

There is only one reason why this kind of victory can be established: many people do not necessarily have the same heart, and ancient armies that collapsed when the battle damage ratio reached 20% were simply everywhere.

If in ancient times, someone could divide ten thousand people into ten thousand routes and still fight to the death, that would be a very terrifying force.

The bald man's war was also the same. In the early days, everyone was of one heart and worked hard, moving from one victory to another. But when faced with confrontation with many major powers, a cruel tug-of-war arrived, and the enemy's propaganda offensive followed, and the hearts of the people...- · · · Scattered.

In addition, a few key mistakes in decision-making, he who ascended the throne because of the people's hearts, also completely died with hatred because he lost the people's hearts.

"Look."

At some point, Roger stopped moving his wand and pointed his finger at Harry on the side.

Charlotte subconsciously turned her head and suddenly felt that Harry was very strange at this moment, and she didn't like him no matter how she looked at him.

"This is— — —" ·

Charlotte frowned, she didn't feel like she had been hit by any magic.

Why?

"Physical walls are easy to break, but the walls between hearts are different," Roger said, snapping his fingers.

In the air between Charlotte and Harry, a semi-transparent, dark brown thing that looked a bit like a funhouse mirror gradually appeared.

Wizards' disgust for themselves and the world will produce Obscurials, and the negative emotions of all living beings will also produce many dark magic creatures.

Roger, who had communicated with Hagrid and knew a little about magical creatures, combined his Alaya magic.

He performed some catalysis with magic power.

The Berlin Wall, this wall once physically separated a nation, a country, dividing them into two. Even after the wall was demolished, the mutual rejection in their hearts still existed, and even spread to decades later without seeing the end.

This location, the ruins that have not been completely cleared, have special significance in mystical ritual studies after being superimposed on each other.

[Dimensional Magic · Ideation Creation!]

East Germany, West Germany, the cracks in the hearts of countless people were materialized under Roger's wand.

The thoughts became Roger's medium dimension. When countless thoughts converged into the nodes of this ritual, a new life was born.

"A dark magic creature— — — Hmm, let's call it 'Prejudice Lens Monster'." Roger said casually.

Saying that, Roger picked up a fist-sized piece of broken brick on the ground, gently rubbed it at his fingertips, and the Transfiguration Charm turned it into a furnace.

It looked a bit like an incense burner.

Then, with a light tap of his wand, Roger used alchemy to solidify a quite powerful space magic Trace Extension Charm and a little bit of virtual reality.

Finally [Dimensional Magic · Divine Declaration]

From a mystical point of view, the dark magic creature Prejudice Lens Monster should not have been born in the first place. Although the people of East and West Germany had prejudices against each other, it was not that serious. It was Roger's magic that led to its proliferation.

Roger, to some extent, can be regarded as its 'father god'.

If for ordinary people, relationships are just relationships.

But for Roger, who could use dimensional magic, once the ‘causal relationship’ was powerful enough to reach the level of ‘I am the root of your existence,’ it could be used as a handle for spellcasting.

“Come.” As Roger uttered a word and gently shook the ‘incense burner,’ the prejudice lens monsters that had been standing between Charlotte and Harry disappeared.

Not just that one, but with Roger's casting point as the center, the exclusionary thoughts of the German people constantly condensed into prejudice lens monsters, which then continuously disappeared into the incense burner in Roger's hands.

Roger lowered his head and saw that those dark magic creatures, who normally should have taken pleasure in teasing others with their own ‘prejudice’ abilities, fell into a deep sleep after entering the large space inside the incense burner.

Their minds had entered the virtual reality set up by Roger, and they were immersed in it.

“Take it. You've worked hard carrying us all over Germany during this time. This is a small return gift.” Roger handed the incense burner to Charlotte.

Charlotte opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Although, with her depth of research into magic, she didn't even understand what had just happened, she had at least seen pigs run even if she hadn't eaten pork. She knew that Roger had just used some very powerful magic.

Was this something she should take?

Seeing her hesitation, Roger explained, “This furnace contains a type of magical creature that is born from the conflicts between people. You see that the lid of this incense burner is half black and half white. If the conflicts between people intensify, the number of magical creatures will increase and then be forcibly absorbed into the incense burner, and the black part will increase accordingly.”

“And if the conflicts between people decrease, the black magic creatures in the incense burner will gradually dwindle in number because they lose the soil for their existence, and the white part will increase.”

“If you see one day that the white is slowly increasing, then this country is moving forward.”

“And if the black gradually becomes more, then this country is beginning to slowly decline.”

Although it initially originated from the mutual exclusion of the German people, once this creature is truly born, as long as the ritual site Roger set up in these ruins is not destroyed, all kinds of conflicts that can generate prejudice may breed prejudice lens monsters.

In other words, under Roger's modification, this incense burner has become a measure of ‘unity.’

Compared to those complex and always somewhat deceptive, easily manipulated data reports, it may be better at reflecting the path this country is on.

Charlotte took the incense burner, stared at it blankly for a while, and then said, “The spread of white doesn't necessarily mean progress.”

She thought of the suicidal corpse burning in the raging fire. When he was around, the people had also been united.

But…

“That depends on how you think about it. From the perspective of the people of the world, he was undoubtedly evil. But the 500,000 mark bread for Germans has completely become history, hasn't it?”

Perhaps due to some historical reasons, the slightly upscale restaurants here all offer free bread with meals. The expensive items are steaks, sausages, mushroom soups, and the like.

“And in the later period of his political career, the black probably spread very quickly… If we had this thing back then.” Roger tapped the incense burner in Charlotte's hand with his finger.

Accompanied by a violent roar, the plane took off and gradually disappeared from Charlotte's sight.

Everything seemed like a dream. If the half-black and half-white furnace wasn't still in her hand, Charlotte would have even suspected whether the experiences of the past half month had really happened.

Recalling the bits and pieces of this time.

The first meeting, the confusion about the two people's travel route, the shock of seeing the Time-Turner Charm for the first time, the mental breakdown of being pressured by her superiors, the twelve-year-old seer who persuaded the Minister of Magic alone, opening the door for him.

Entering history time and time again to witness the truth, even the legendary Grindelwald had been seen several times, and finally, she had received a seemingly extraordinary farewell gift.

“. It feels like I could write a story.”

The name could be 'Traveling with the Seer'?

As soon as this idea popped up, Charlotte shook her head and threw it aside.

She wasn't crazy yet. If she really wrote it, she was afraid she would have to go to prison for crimes such as leaking state secrets.

“I wonder what kind of things those two will encounter in Greece… I really want to go with them.” With a trace of emotion, Charlotte turned around and headed towards the Ministry of Magic.

She should go write a summary report and report on her duties.
