Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

"Speaking of which, everyone has grown a bit taller. It's only been less than 3 months," Roger said.

Passing through Platform 9 3/4, Roger looked around. As always, it was just like the last time he came.

Children lined up to board the train, and parents surrounded the Hogwarts Express, reluctant to part.

Wizards are no different from Muggles except for their ability to connect with magic. They are no different from Muggles in terms of emotions. When they are about to part with their children, they will also be sad—at least most people are.

Lamenting the passage of time and the growth of the children, Roger also casually adjusted his body structure, making himself a few centimeters taller.

—Now Roger's body is no longer very human. If Roger doesn't manually adjust it,

even after millions of years, Roger would still look like an 11-year-old child.

But Roger wouldn't do that. He has no interest in being an ageless celestial being.

Gradually adjusting his 'age and physique' and feeling the changes in the flow of time is a kind of experiential cultivation in Roger's eyes.

Roger's adjustment was very subtle, only changing in height, with no change in appearance. Unless they were very familiar, it would be difficult to notice.

Roger and Hermione quietly lined up.

During this time, Roger was thinking about problems, while Hermione hadn't fully recovered from the effects of Apparition and didn't want to talk much.

Distance is also a factor that affects the senses when using Apparition. When the distance is too far, the uncomfortable feeling will intensify.

Thanks to the 'Cognitive Invisibility Cloak' made by Roger, Roger and Hermione boarded the train smoothly without experiencing any extra twists and turns.

"Roger."

A familiar voice sounded.

Like the last time he took the train, the Hogwarts Express carriages were always full.

Unless you are a prefect and have a seat reserved for you, it is impossible to occupy a carriage alone. Some little wizards without seats will always have to squeeze in with you.

Roger arrived a little earlier, just to avoid knocking on doors carriage by carriage. He still had to share a carriage with others.

"It's been a few months, Neville."

"How have you been recently?" Roger asked with a smile, opening the carriage door.

Because this is the case every year, there is an unwritten understanding among the students of Hogwarts: after boarding the train, everyone will find acquaintances to share a seat to avoid chaos.

"I'm fine. Thanks to the Christmas present you sent me, I didn't lose Trevor this summer," Neville said in a rare humorous tone, holding up the transparent box containing the toad in his right hand.

It was evident that he was very happy.

Last Christmas, Roger gave some of his failed 'alchemy experiments' and byproducts as Christmas gifts to some familiar classmates.

Roger gave Neville a bracelet.

That thing was similar to a Remembrall. When Neville recently forgot something, it would vibrate and emit a slight current as a reminder.

But it had a new function compared to the traditional wizarding Remembrall: it would automatically project the things Neville had forgotten into Neville's mind in the form of images and text.

This prevented him from knowing that he had recently forgotten something, but kept getting shocked because he couldn't remember what he had forgotten.

—This thing was a testing tool made by Roger when he developed the 'Second Brain' to test whether the absolute memory ability of the Second Brain had loopholes.

After the Second Brain was completed, this testing tool was useless, so he gave it to Neville, who might be able to use it because of his childhood.

"It seems you like it very much. Its expected lifespan is not very long. When I have time at school, I'll help you upgrade it a bit," Roger said as he let Neville into the carriage.

Neville is a forgetful person. He might forget something he just learned in the blink of an eye.

Roger had many ways to solve his forgetfulness problem, but none of them were suitable.

The root of Neville's problem is that he was frequently subjected to Memory Charms when he was young. If he cured him, his memories of witnessing his parents being tortured to madness by Death Eaters in his childhood would also be revived.

Helping people remember is nothing, but deleting or modifying other people's memories is something Roger is unwilling to do. Then the problem will be even more troublesome.

It's better to maintain the status quo.

In Roger's view, when three-dimensional magic becomes popular in the future and wizards begin to become much stronger, Neville's mentally deranged parents may not be impossible to save.

At that time, it may be the best time for Neville to face everything in the past and reconcile with his heart.

After entering the carriage, Neville politely greeted Hermione next to him.

And soon after, another familiar figure appeared in front of the carriage door, but unfortunately it was not Harry.

"Is there still a seat here?" A little girl with empty eyes dragged a luggage that was half her height and knocked on the carriage door.

Luna didn't have any other acquaintances inside Hogwarts, so naturally she came to find Roger.

Roger certainly wouldn't turn a child away.

Harry?

Doesn't he still have Ron? He can squeeze in with the Weasley family.

After that, there were no other waves, but Roger's furrowed brow did not relax.

After entering the train, he released his perception magic, but he never felt Harry board the train.

—Could something really have happened?

In order to consider the safety of time magic research, Roger, after seeking Harry's consent, placed something similar to a trace on him. Judging from the sensation it gave him, Harry's life was not in danger.

The diary Horcrux has been taken away by Voldemort, and the chain of cause and effect has been broken.

Logically speaking, the Malfoy family's house-elf Dobby should no longer have any contact with Harry.

Even if something did happen, Harry, who had learned magic from him for more than half a year, shouldn't be unable to deal with a house-elf.

Then what exactly is it?

Rolling black smoke, sharp whistles, and the clanging sound of train tracks colliding, the Hogwarts Express started towards Hogwarts.

After thinking about it, Roger, who still didn't see Harry coming, decided to divine it.

Although he is a seer, Roger's divination ability is not very good. All his skill points are on crisis perception.

But even if it's inaccurate, it doesn't matter. At least there's a result, which can give him some direction and inspiration.

Thinking of this, Roger bought a bottle of drink when the trolley selling snacks passed by, unscrewed it, and casually poured some onto the small table on the train.

Then he began to observe the trajectory of the water stains.

Well, for people with real prophetic abilities, divination is so casual.

Those messy rituals, incense, spells, and magic circles are all used by people with insufficient abilities to amplify their power. For seers, they are not necessary at all.

"... I see."

After observing for a while, Roger felt relieved.

This matter may not be a bad thing for Harry.

The overall trend is 'auspicious'.

But his arrival at school will definitely be delayed.

But it doesn't matter.

For ordinary people, this kind of violation of school rules will definitely be severely punished.

But Harry is different.

Even if we put aside the fact that he is now an important figure at Hogwarts, he is also the 'Savior' of the British wizarding world.

People who know the inside story understand that defeating Voldemort was the credit of his mother Lily, but that's not how things are calculated in terms of sentiment.

Too many people were ruined by Voldemort, and these people remember this favor. They may not have any voice usually, but they will definitely not let Harry be expelled for this reason.

Not to mention others, at least Snape would never agree.

"However, I was still negligent. I didn't notice such an obvious loophole before."

After seeing what happened to Harry, Roger was even more determined to develop the 'multithreaded thinking' function of the Second Brain.

Multithreaded thinking may not make his thoughts without loopholes, but being stronger is always good.
