Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity
#44 - Prophet: Surprised? Unexpected?
Unaware of the Minister of Magic's misunderstanding, Roger went to Hogsmeade to meet Luna after Fudge and his companion left.
Roger came with Hagrid, while Luna was with her father... As parents, how could they let a 10-year-old come alone?
After meeting, Roger directly and concisely explained the situation and instructed Luna on precautions and confidentiality.
Luna didn't object to Roger's instructions; children are sometimes more sensitive to the outside world than adults, especially children with high inspiration like Luna.
She could probably tell that Roger's words were all out of kindness.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" After saying everything that needed to be said, Roger was about to leave, but he suddenly noticed that Luna's gaze was a little strange.
"You're very strange."
Luna didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the anomaly in her eyes: "You are surrounded by many, many Nargles, but they don't dare to get close to you at all... I've never seen that before."
If she were to use something Luna was familiar with as an analogy, it would be like a rain-repelling charm her mother developed before.
Heavy raindrops poured down from the sky, but they all automatically deviated three meters away from her.
"Really?" Roger was a little surprised but didn't delve into it.
He was currently focused on technical iteration and didn't have extra energy to spare.
So, although he was curious about what these Nargles, invisible to ordinary people, actually were, he didn't chat with Luna about them much.
...By the time he's in his second year next year, his path to immortality should be almost complete. By then, Luna will be at the age to enter Hogwarts, so we'll talk about it then.
Not anxious about this matter, Roger bid farewell to Luna under her curious gaze.
On the way back to Hogwarts, Hagrid, who came with Roger, looked at him: "Roger, what about my experiment? Should we still do it?"
The experiment was initially agreed upon by both of them. Now that this incident has occurred, Hagrid doesn't know what to do next.
Roger thought for a moment and said, "Let's continue, but the direction of the experiment needs to be adjusted."
"The direction of miniaturizing magical creatures remains unchanged, but we don't need to consider connecting it with a wizard's mind."
"In this magical world, the mind shouldn't be an area to be casually touched. I'll think of a way to use nerve-related technology to connect it with people's minds."
"Don't touch magical creatures with mind-related abilities."
Roger's adjustment changed not only the research direction but also the application direction.
In the past, Roger didn't know if his path to immortality could be completed before he died, but now, after obtaining the improvement, this worry no longer exists.
Therefore, it's time to consider other application directions.
"In short, let's do it first. Remember to synchronize information with me every week."
Nothing happened along the way.
After the two returned to Hogwarts, they went their separate ways. Roger, who had missed a morning of class, returned just in time for lunch.
Strictly speaking, it was even a little late; many students had already finished eating.
And before Roger could settle down with his plate, Harry, who had been waiting all morning to find Roger, eagerly came over.
"Have you thought about it?" Roger forked a fried sausage from his plate and then asked.
"Yeah." Harry didn't think there was anything to hesitate about.
"To fulfill your wish, you need very strong wizarding power. I will select books and training methods that will allow you to gain better strength growth based on the magic you are suited for."
Hogwarts' student cultivation method can be described as laissez-faire. Only those students who are enterprising and can enter the club through self-study or pure talent will receive the most exquisite cultivation... This is actually very normal. Magic is a miracle of the mind. If you don't even have the desire to approach magic, then even if others want to help you, they are likely to fail.
It's better to let them go, let the students self-screen, and then concentrate resources to cultivate elites.
And now, Roger will skip those so-called tests and directly tailor a growth plan for Harry.
"But before that, I have three things to tell you."
"What things?" Harry was a little nervous.
Although he was often praised as a savior after entering the wizarding world, his slightly sensitive heart, due to his childhood experiences, couldn't help but tense up when others looked at him with a serious expression.
Moreover, Roger's will was related to whether he could revive his parents.
In Harry's eyes at this moment, Roger was simply the most majestic person in the world.
Roger held up one finger and said, "First, I have my own purpose in helping you."
"I am helping you because I need a talented person to help me research space-time related knowledge. All of this is not free."
Roger is an upright person. He doesn't think there's anything to hide about using others. It's more in line with his heart to say it out in the open.
Harry nodded without saying anything.
No one will help you for no reason. Harry had learned this lesson in the first 11 years of his life. He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In fact, he was relieved when Roger said this.
Because Roger had helped him so much, he finally had a chance to repay Roger.
In Roger's eyes, nerve modification surgery and using Harry's connections to get to know Hagrid are the same, but in Harry's eyes, he just led the way and received such a great benefit... making him feel a little uneasy.
There's also the matter with Ron. Ron is Harry's best friend. After the last incident with Hermione, he became more cheerful and rarely complained about his classmates. Harry also remembered this.
"Second, the research on space-time is a very dangerous thing, not only for you. Once an accident occurs, it may affect many people. So, for safety's sake, I will use some means that may slightly invade your privacy. I hope you can understand."
After consideration, Roger intends to use means similar to the Ministry of Magic's 'Trace' to detect magical activity within a certain range around Harry and add other countermeasures to prevent accidents.
"Of course, I can."
Although the child who longs for parental love hopes to revive his family, he definitely doesn't want to hurt other people's families because of this.
Harry is not such a selfish person.
"The last point." Roger, who had already finished his lunch and emptied his plate, stood up.
"Your current motivation all comes from the illusory love that the Mirror of Erised brings you."
"With just this little bit of mental motivation, I'm afraid it's not enough for you to go too far on the path of space-time magic."
"So..."
"I want you to meet your parents, to understand them better, to turn illusory love into reality, and then decide whether to set off."
Roger said with a smile.
"Let's go."
Harry didn't know how Roger would let him see his parents and understand them better.
He could only follow Roger's footsteps with anticipation and trepidation.
And then...
"Professor Snape! Harry wants to know about his mother, Lily Evans, when she was in school. Can you do me a favor?" Roger knocked on the head of Slytherin's office, entered and asked.
As he spoke, Roger took out the portable Pensieve he had made.
...My mother's affairs, why ask Snape, that annoying guy? Harry, following behind Roger, looked at Roger with confusion in his eyes.
Seemingly sensing Harry's gaze, Roger turned back and explained, "Because she and Professor Snape were very good friends when they were in school."
After explaining, Roger turned to look at Snape again: "Right, Professor Snape?"
