Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

From the end of 1991 to the beginning of 1992, after more than ten days, Dumbledore finally decided to ask Roger that question.

Normally, Dumbledore was not an indecisive person. On the contrary, he possessed a decisiveness that was difficult for ordinary people to match in many matters.

But this time was different.

Just like Grindelwald would refuse to share future information because he couldn't bear to see Dumbledore fall into the abyss.

In Dumbledore's heart, Grindelwald also held significant weight.

His next question was likely to have a great impact on Grindelwald's future destiny, and it might also have a significant impact on the entire world.

This was almost as important as the global nuclear war button and the life and death of a loved one, so he had to be cautious.

"Regarding Grindelwald, I probably don't need to introduce him much, right?"

"No need."

Roger shook his head. He had heard some information about Grindelwald in his previous life, and he had also investigated some in this life, so he could be considered to have some understanding of him.

Seeing that he didn't need to recount the past, Dumbledore didn't beat around the bush and directly conveyed Grindelwald's words to Roger.

"Do I want to let him out?" Hearing this question, Roger was stunned for a moment.

Because he knew Grindelwald's identity as a Seer, the first thing Roger thought about was not whether to answer 'yes' or 'no'.

Instead, he wondered if the question itself was some kind of 'Seer riddle' or something similar.

After the thought circled in his mind a few times, and he couldn't see any hidden meaning in it, Roger then answered with his true thoughts: "This is Grindelwald's own business, why ask me?

As long as he doesn't become my enemy, I usually don't interfere in other people's business."

Back in the Middle East, although his impersonation of a Seer was the cause, the 'believers' did protect him when he was still weak, and he risked his life to stay with them when he could have escaped, in order to repay them.

He finished the entire Gulf War.

As for Grindelwald, he had nothing to do with him, and Roger didn't care what choices he made.

His relationship with Dumbledore?

There's a saying that goes, my friend's friend is not necessarily my friend.

As for the potential impact of Grindelwald's release, Roger never feared the unknown. He would adapt to the situation as it came.

If he was afraid of the unknown, he wouldn't have let Harry embark on the path of Time Magic, shattering his original destiny with his own hands.

"Is that so... I understand."

Roger's answer was not unexpected by Dumbledore.

Roger was a person who basically didn't hide himself. Everyone at Hogwarts who paid attention to Roger understood his temperament.

The key point of this question was not how Roger answered, but the fact that Roger 'answered'.

Looking at Roger's candid eyes, Dumbledore, who originally wanted to turn around and take another trip to Austria to see Grindelwald, suddenly had a thought.

"Speaking of which, when I last saw Grindelwald, he told me some things about the future."

"Oh? What future?" Roger asked with interest.

Besides his sense of crisis, Roger could also predict other futures, but his level was only at the half-baked level of Professor Sybill Trelawney, so he usually didn't use it.

"He said, don't let Voldemort get the diary."

"Do you know what diary it is?" Dumbledore asked seemingly casually.

"Diary, huh..."

In an instant, Roger roughly understood the cause and effect.

"It should be Voldemort's first Horcrux."

The moment Roger's voice fell, Dumbledore's hand couldn't help but clench slightly.

Level is something that is brought out by comparison.

Having experienced a riddle once, Dumbledore had a deeper understanding of how valuable a Seer who didn't speak in riddles was!

After answering, Roger asked back: "Headmaster Dumbledore, what do you think? Do you want to stop Voldemort?"

"What would be the consequences if Voldemort obtained the first Horcrux?" Dumbledore didn't directly answer Roger's question, but asked another question.

Since there was a Seer in front of him who answered every question, Dumbledore naturally wanted to know more information.

Instead of making decisions in a daze.

When there was a choice, of course, he had to choose the optimal path.

"I don't know what might happen in the future. The future is not absolutely destined, and I won't make a judgment."

"However, Voldemort's mind is now severely eroded by Dark Magic, and he is very prone to extremes and emotional choices, like a drunkard."

"Voldemort told me that in order to avoid mental decay, he used Horcruxes to inscribe his mental state.

If he obtains the first Horcrux... then what we will face in the future may not be a half-mad Voldemort, but the original Tom Riddle in your memory."

Roger recited Voldemort's real name before he became Voldemort.

If his three-dimensional theory was published, Roger believed that Tom during his Tom Riddle years could definitely go further on this path than Voldemort during his Voldemort years.

He just didn't know if Voldemort would choose that.

After all, just like the current you and the 17-year-old you are both you.

But would you be willing to give up your current consciousness and let the 17-year-old you dominate everything?

This was destined to be a difficult choice.

Whether 'I' is me, this classic Ship of Theseus problem, is not so easy to answer.

"I see."

Although Dumbledore knew about Horcruxes, with his personality, he obviously wouldn't delve into this path.

He knew far less about the details of Voldemort's Horcruxes than Roger did.

After getting the answer he wanted, Dumbledore pondered for a moment, and then said, "I want to stop him, are you willing to help me, Roger?"

Dumbledore respected Roger's wishes and didn't force Roger to help.

If he wasn't willing, Dumbledore would find a way himself.

"It's not impossible, but I only know that the diary Horcrux should be in Lucius Malfoy's hands. As for where he hid it, whether he's willing to hand it over..."

Before Roger could finish speaking, Dumbledore interrupted him, "Knowing who has it is enough."

How could Dumbledore choose to let a young wizard follow him to do dirty work?

Even if Roger's image in his eyes was no longer closely associated with the word 'child', he was still a child after all.

What Dumbledore wanted was only Roger's intelligence support.

Roger had killed many people, but Dumbledore could see that he was a person who didn't like violent conflicts.

In battle, he usually chose to show his strength as much as possible, making the other party give up the idea of fighting, ending the battle without fighting.

Roger rarely chose to take action to show off, unless he encountered people like Slytherin and Gryffindor, who wouldn't be afraid unless you beat them hard.

"Are you going to find Lucius now?" Roger asked Dumbledore, who turned around to leave after speaking.

"Yes."

"Take me with you. With me there, Lucius should understand what to do."

Although Roger, who had already begun to research the path to 'immortality', was somewhat curious about Voldemort's mind inscription technology, he also knew that Dumbledore wouldn't let him touch the Horcrux.

So Roger wasn't going for the diary Horcrux, but purely to help out.

The greatest wizard of this century in Britain, bringing a powerful Seer, to ask you if you're hiding stolen goods... Lucius Malfoy shouldn't be stupid enough to want to resist or lie, right?
