Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

"A very ingenious structure." After examining it, Nicolas Flamel stroked his chin with interest, but his hand froze slightly as soon as he touched his face.

He had subconsciously wanted to stroke his beard, but all he touched was the smooth skin of a child.

After being turned back into a child, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

After a moment of stiffness, Nicolas Flamel continued, "Indeed, you only need to say 'Open' in Parseltongue to open this door, and there are no other hidden dangers."

The sky was dim, and today's classes were over. Roger, Dumbledore, Nicolas Flamel, McGonagall, and Snape gathered in the girls' bathroom.

Myrtle, the ghost who originally lived here, didn't dare to breathe when she saw these people and shrank into a corner.

But she didn't leave, and instead silently watched the movements here.

Hearing Nicolas Flamel's conclusion, Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh softly, he remembered the incident decades ago that led to Myrtle's death.

It was such a close distance, but he hadn't noticed the trickery back then.

But there was no way around it, Hogwarts itself was a magical castle, and its entirety was full of all sorts of strange magical alchemical structures.

Secret passages and hidden rooms, there were dozens if not hundreds inside Hogwarts. Adjusting them rashly could very likely damage the overall structure of Hogwarts.

Even if Dumbledore had Headmaster privileges, he wouldn't know exactly how many secrets there were in Hogwarts. He didn't have a God's-eye view, how could he have thought of such an outrageous answer.

- Because many secret passages weren't there from the founding of the school, but were added later by generations of teachers and students themselves, so naturally they were outside the control of the Headmaster's privileges.

And it was precisely this behavior of everyone adding things at will that made the current magical structure of Hogwarts like a mountain of code under a programmer's keyboard. If you modify it casually, even fixing a bug could make the entire program difficult to run.

"Since there are no problems, let's start taking action. Everyone is aware of the danger of the Basilisk, so Dumbledore and I will go down, and please professors, stay here and guard," Roger said.

Checking the entrance to the Chamber was to be on the safe side.

Unlike that Basilisk, Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets had a lot of value, even from a historical point of view.

If possible, everyone didn't want to destroy it.

As soon as Roger finished speaking, everyone present nodded in agreement.

The two Heads of House naturally didn't need to be told. After more than a year of getting along, they understood Roger's abilities. A Seer couldn't possibly encounter danger in this kind of situation.

Nicolas Flamel didn't know much about Roger, but from the increasingly terrifying magical abilities he saw from Dumbledore, he had already gleaned some understanding of Roger's boundaries.

So he didn't think there was anything wrong with letting Roger go down.

【Open (Parseltongue)】

Seeing that no one had any questions, Dumbledore said the password to open the door in Parseltongue.

The sink began to change after he said the password.

The faucet emitted a dazzling white light and began to rotate rapidly, then the sink also started to move.

The hexagonal sink began to split, and the six sinks moved in six different directions. The top cover also floated into the air, revealing a bottomless, huge pipe cave.

After the door to the Chamber of Secrets opened, Roger and Dumbledore exchanged a look.

The next moment...

Flames and light rose from their bodies!

【Dimensional Magic · Transfiguration · Ring Person】

Roger's body transformed into a nuclear fusion plasma state.

【Dimensional Magic · Nirvana Fire】

The warm and gentle flames also began to wrap around Dumbledore's body, making him seem like he had transformed into a fire-bathing phoenix.

Then the two of them turned into a stream of light and entered the Chamber of Secrets.

With their magical strength, of course they wouldn't slide all the way down, making themselves covered in dust.

On the contrary, they even had to be careful when passing through the secret passage not to let the magic on their bodies damage the passage.

"As expected, Voldemort isn't a good person." After entering the Chamber of Secrets, Roger surveyed everything around him.

Stone pillars coiled by giant snakes were dazzling, the emeralds embedded in the snakes' eyes shone with a strange color, and the smell was damp and unpleasant. It really didn't look like a good place to be.

Roger had a certain sensitivity to knowledge, and he immediately found the place where Slytherin's books were stored, but there were only empty bookshelves there. Obviously, Slytherin's legacy had been completely transferred away by Voldemort.

While Roger was lamenting "Why is Voldemort so bad," not even leaving him a single page.

Dumbledore was focused on the Basilisk curled up in the corner of the Chamber of Secrets. Learning Parseltongue allowed one to communicate with the Basilisk, but communicating with it didn't mean you could command it.

Parseltongue could be learned after birth, it wasn't something exclusive to the Slytherin line.

Controlling the Basilisk was something that only the 'Heir of Slytherin' could do. As one of the founders of Hogwarts, how could Slytherin leave such a big flaw in his legacy.

And now, that Basilisk obviously didn't have any intention of communicating.

It only wanted to escape!

In the wizarding world, many magical creatures had considerable intelligence, and the thinking of some individual creatures was not weaker than that of humans.

The Basilisk wasn't a creature known for its intelligence, but it had lived in Hogwarts for too long.

Hundreds of years had still accumulated some wisdom for it.

Putting aside other things, it at least understood the basic instinct to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.

At this time, the Basilisk's huge and deadly pupils were filled with horror and fear.

It couldn't understand what exactly these two things in front of it were.

Why could they look at it without fear and not die.

In contrast, the Basilisk felt that it was locked by something in the dark.

As long as it dared to move slightly,

A catastrophe would arrive in an instant!

In fact, the answer was very simple.

Although magic didn't make sense, it still had to be logical.

The Basilisk's death gaze hadn't failed, but to work, it first had to meet two conditions: the other party would "die", and the other party was "alive".

Just like in the original timeline, the Basilisk was blinded by the Phoenix.

The Basilisk's death judgment was ineffective against Phoenixes, which were immortal creatures in a sense.

In other words, its death gaze was terrifying, but in reality, its "judgment priority" wasn't high.

With the Nirvana Fire wrapped around him, Dumbledore now possessed the immortality to resist the Basilisk's magic.

And Roger was a different situation.

He switched his medium dimension to Transfiguration, using magic to carry his self-dimension.

At this moment, Roger was closer to a 'magical phenomenon' than a conventional life form. Unless it was a wizard of Voldemort and Dumbledore's level, it would be difficult to affect him now.

When there was a gap in the level of life, even seemingly omnipotent magic would pale in comparison!

Now Roger and Dumbledore were like dragons with magical resistance in myths and legends. Some conventional magic was difficult to harm them.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, are you planning to kill it directly?" Roger shifted his gaze from the empty library and looked at the Basilisk with Dumbledore.

He was just a little emotional, but he didn't really care. With the Time-Turner, even if Voldemort later moved the books away, he could still see the knowledge within.

Roger glanced up and down at the Basilisk that was coiled there and didn't dare to move.

Dumbledore shook his head: "I plan to follow the normal procedure."

The so-called normal procedure was the set of trials by the Ministry of Magic.

He believed that Myrtle's matter needed an explanation, and Hagrid's grievances also needed to be cleared. Although he was indeed wrong to raise high-risk magical creatures back then, that was different from him being wrongly accused.

Because of Roger's series of actions, Fudge didn't dare to prickle in front of Dumbledore at all. Now Dumbledore's influence on the Ministry of Magic could be said to be extremely great. Even if some people wanted to interfere, Dumbledore had ways to shut them up.

"Alright." Saying that, Roger hooked his fingers, and the train-sized Basilisk found itself uncontrollably suspended in mid-air. In desperation, it wanted to bite Roger, but it was meaningless.

Not to mention that Roger wouldn't let it bite him, even if it really did, the moment the Basilisk's fangs pierced Roger's magical isolation layer, the endless light and heat that poured out would instantly vaporize it into ashes.

It was less that Roger was stopping its attack and more that he was stopping its suicide.

After Roger controlled the Basilisk, Dumbledore also stretched out his hand, with Nirvana Fire wrapped around it.

Time seemed to begin to reverse.

Under the scorching heat of the Nirvana Fire, the Basilisk regressed from adulthood to youth, and then regressed to childhood.

Under Roger's gaze, the Basilisk, which was originally like the Hogwarts Express, gradually became the size of an ordinary python.

"A little more insurance is needed." After saying that, Dumbledore lightly tapped the Basilisk's bright yellow, deadly eyes twice.

The flesh and blood pupils turned into crystal clear gems.

At this point, this terrible creature with the highest danger level in the wizarding world was captured in their hands like a toy.

Battle?

With their magical power, dealing with the Basilisk, it might be more appropriate to use the word 'manipulation' than 'battle'.

Harry's worries were purely superfluous. He still lacked an accurate understanding of Roger and Dumbledore's strength.

Then, Dumbledore used Transfiguration for the second time, turning the python-sized Basilisk into a suitcase for easy carrying.

"This should do it." Dumbledore picked up the suitcase.

Seeing that Dumbledore had finished his work, Roger stopped paying attention.

Dealing with the basilisk wasn't his primary purpose for coming to the Chamber of Secrets.

His biggest concern was still the "past."

Roger drew his wand.

He prepared to cast the Time-Turner Illusion Charm, ready to watch what Slytherin had done here in the past!
