Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

"Is this your Ministry of Magic?"

Not only Harry, but even Roger was stunned.

Similar to his visit to Germany, Roger contacted the Greek Ministry of Magic in advance to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

However, the situation of the Greek Ministry of Magic is completely different from that of the German Ministry.

If the German Ministry of Magic is a modern political institution with a relatively complete structure, then the Greek Ministry of Magic can only be described as a makeshift team.

Roger had read many books by ancient Greek wizards, and before he truly set foot on this land, he had never imagined that the wizarding world here would be like this.

The world of wizards was familiar and unfamiliar to Roger. Familiar because he had read a lot of knowledge in books, and unfamiliar because people wouldn't write everything in books.

Subjectivity and prejudice are mixed in the pages, making it difficult to distinguish. At least the situation in the German wizarding world was somewhat different from what Roger had expected.

In many books, Germany is a place where dark wizards run rampant.

But after really arriving, Roger found that in this era when the Cold War had already ended, everyone's impression of it still remained in the Second World War period.

And here in Greece, this feeling is even stronger.

"Times have changed."

A sturdy Greek man with skin tanned bronze said with a hearty smile.

Every year from June to September is the peak tourist season in Greece. Not only do Muggles like to come, but many wizards also come here to 'seek their roots'.

It is also common to feel disappointed upon arriving here because of the huge gap between Greece and one's impression of Greece.

Nikolaos, the Director of Foreign Affairs of the Greek Ministry of Magic, was already used to this.

"Alright, come in, let's register first."

Facing the greeting from Nikolaos, the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs, Roger and Harry looked at each other and then followed his pace.

They walked into the Tower of the Winds near the ancient Roman market.

The Tower of the Winds is a building where the ancient Greeks observed the weather. The outer walls here are engraved with many wind gods in charge of different wind directions. It sounds grand, but it is actually not big, not even half as tall as a seven-story residential building.

It also looks relatively dilapidated from the outside. It has become a tourist attraction for Muggles, and the entrance to the Greek Ministry of Magic is in a corner inside.

After passing through the magic door and stepping into it, there was no scene like in the Peach Blossom Spring, where the exterior is simple but the interior is a different world.

It's... pretty simple.

If it were someone who had never seen magic, they might find it novel.

But after seeing the huge golden rune dome, orderly layout, and elevator passages of the British Ministry of Magic, the clever combination of magic and modern culture, and the simple yet grand hall of the German Ministry of Magic, and then looking at the Greek Ministry of Magic—

If you have to make an analogy, it's a simplified version of Hogwarts Castle.

It has the mystery of magic, but it's not quite up to par as a national political center.

"The earliest wizards in Greece have almost all run away. The wizards living in Greece now are all latecomers. Do you know about the Greece in Muggle history?"

On the way to the registration office, Minister Nikolaos continued the previous topic.

"I know a little bit."

Roger said humbly.

Realizing the difference between the knowledge gained from books and the real world, he would not speak too definitively.

"Then you should know that the ancient Greece in people's general impression is the period from around 600 to 340 BC."

Roger nodded. That was also around the time of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the East. The wand maker he was currently using, Mr. Ollivander, and his family also started making wands around this time.

"At that time, ancient Greek civilization was relatively prosperous compared to other regions. The rise of Muggle philosophy,

From the ideological level, it promoted the development of magic. Some magic systems of later generations already had some prototypes at that time."

International?

Teachers are very closely connected. The royal families of many countries often have inextricable links with wizards."

"Or rather, countries without wizard participation in their composition have been swallowed up by countries with wizards."

Nikolaos continued immediately.

Roger had learned about this. The magic of wizards is simply overwhelmingly powerful to Muggles, but as long as there is a wizard willing to be a traitor...

"There are also conflicts between wizards, and in that era when magic skills had not yet become a mature system, 'wild wizards' had many opportunities to use their strength to smash bricks."

Simply put, if one side has wizards and the other doesn't, then the side with wizards will win. And if both sides have wizards, then who has the stronger wizards is no longer the decisive factor in victory or defeat.

Which side has stronger Muggle troops is the key on the battlefield.

"Ancient Rome, Byzantium, Ottoman, Greece was destroyed by foreign races time and time again. Now it's not so easy to find a Greek whose ancestors haven't intermarried."

Those powerful wizards had already run to other parts of Europe. Who would be willing to risk dying at the hands of Muggle armies and coexist with this weak land."

Speaking of this, Nikolaos, who always had a hearty smile on his face, rarely showed some grief.

Wizard individuals have far greater power than Muggles, but from ancient times to the present, Muggles have been the main theme of this world.

When Muggles launch wars, wizards must also avoid their edge.

Following Nikolaos' sigh, the group arrived at the registration office.

"Huh? That person, seems to be from Ravenclaw—"

There were quite a few people queuing in front of the registration office. Roger and Harry even saw one or two little wizards being led by their parents, who looked very familiar.

As mentioned before, June to September is the peak tourist season in Greece, and there are many wizards who come here. This is somewhat different from Germany.

On the one hand, Germany has a bad reputation, with many dark wizards and such. On the other hand, the two Germanys have just unified,

In the eyes of many people, it is now relatively turbulent there, not a good place to travel.

"Let's go, come this way."

Nikolaos called out.

He did not let Roger and Harry queue up with ordinary wizard tourists. For special guests, they have special places to entertain them.

—The Ministry of Magic identity that the Board of Governors worked out for Roger is very convenient in many places.

When he travels abroad, he is not only a Hogwarts first-year wizard, but also represents some of the face of the British Ministry of Magic.

Just like the German Ministry of Magic had to send Charlotte, an employee of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, to accompany him throughout the whole process.

The Greek Ministry of Magic also has to show something, otherwise it would be too rude diplomatically.

After all, if Roger rounds things up, he is almost equivalent to the top leader in charge of an industry, like the Minister of Railways.

And if the virtual reality industry really becomes popular, then the significance represented by Roger's position will be even more terrifying.

Britain is now

The Greek Ministry of Magic, which is considered a small force, even had the Minister personally come to greet him.

In fact, the so-called registration is just for the Greek Ministry of Magic to popularize some local laws and taboos for foreign tourists,

And to attach a trace monitoring their spellcasting records to the tourist's wand. The wizarding world also has a concept of national borders. In one place, one must abide by the laws of that place.

Unlike Germany, as a country with a thriving tourism industry, the relevant measures here are very sound. Because many wizards come to admire the relics of ancient wizards, in order to avoid some reckless guys from causing damage to the ruins and former residences, many measures are necessary.

And during Nikolaos' reception, Roger also told him directly about his 'Time Phantom Shuttle Charm'.

"... You mean, you can use magic to freely view images of the past?!"

"Not freely, images from tens of millions of years ago are beyond my capabilities."

Roger explained.

Roger adopted a different strategy here than he did at the German Ministry of Magic.

The German Ministry of Magic has a bit too much dark history. If Roger said directly that he was coming to 'see your browser history', they might directly refuse him entry.

Greece is different, so it's better to be upfront from the beginning.

In Roger's expectation, Greece shouldn't have an excessive reaction in this regard.

But to Roger's surprise.

The Greek Ministry of Magic's reaction was huge.

But it was in another direction!

"Respected Seer, please, you must, agree to my accompaniment. This is my life's request! I know all the places with wonderful history. No one understands Greece better than me!"

Nikolaos held Roger's hand tightly, unwilling to let go for a long time,

—Ah, this?
