Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

The owls of the wizarding world are not ordinary animals; they are closer to magical creatures. They possess higher intelligence, accurately identify different people, overcome harsh environments, and serve as messengers.

They are also the most common means of external communication within Hogwarts. During mealtimes, owls fly into the Great Hall and drop off items mailed to Hogwarts.

---- Thanks to magic, no messy things will fall from the owls along with the items, landing in everyone's bowls.

Owls deliver not only personal mail but also academic journals and newspapers ordered by the school library and professors.

And today, all these newspapers reported the same news on their front pages.

A moving magical photograph showed the ruins of a shattered castle.

That was Nurmengard Castle, Gellert Grindelwald's prison!

Facing the attention of the crowd, Dumbledore appeared calm and collected, showing no particular reaction.

He clearly already knew the news.

On the other side, Roger didn't have Dumbledore's news channels and, like the other students, had just learned of this.

But he didn't care.

Just like he said before, Grindelwald's affairs had nothing to do with him.

"Let's eat," Dumbledore said casually, breaking the silence in the Great Hall, as students and professors waited for him to say something.

As Dumbledore's words fell, the students and professors, who had been disturbed by the shocking news as if 'He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named had been resurrected,' miraculously calmed down.

Dumbledore's long-standing image of greatness and his calm demeanor inspired everyone.

After the brief shock, they also came to their senses.

They had Dumbledore on their side! He had defeated Grindelwald once, and he could certainly defeat him again!

No big deal.

However, while the students of Hogwarts thought it was no big deal, other European countries outside of Britain, which had suffered greatly from Grindelwald's actions, thought the problem was huge!

You have Dumbledore, what about us?

"Headmaster Dumbledore, were you referring to this matter when you said 'I don't know if I did the right thing' last time?" Roger asked Dumbledore about the recent events in his office.

He might not care about Grindelwald, but he cared about Dumbledore.

"Yes," Albus Dumbledore's expression was somewhat melancholy, unlike when he was in the Great Hall.

"Will you be held accountable by the international community?" Roger's focus remained on Dumbledore.

Dumbledore thought for a moment and replied, "There should be some inquiries."

After all, he was the last person on record to have contact with Grindelwald.

Grindelwald had escaped from prison less than two months after their meeting, so someone would definitely investigate.

"How did he escape? You didn't release him yourself, did you?" Roger pressed, hearing Dumbledore's words.

Dumbledore wasn't clear on the details, but he knew, "No, it's likely Voldemort."

"Voldemort?" Roger was stunned.

Voldemort rescuing Grindelwald?

That wasn't in the original timeline, was it?

Has the deviation of fate become so great?

Dumbledore didn't hide anything from Roger and immediately explained Grindelwald's scheme.

"I see," Roger nodded.

In that case, his intuition was right. Grindelwald's words were indeed a 'seer's riddle,' but it wasn't meant for him.

Knowing that Grindelwald wasn't released by Dumbledore himself, Roger was relieved.

As long as there was this fig leaf, Dumbledore should be fine.

As for Grindelwald and Voldemort joining forces, would it cause any earth-shattering events...

Roger recalled their personalities and styles of doing things. Honestly, these two wouldn't cooperate sincerely, and it would be good if they didn't stab each other in the back!

Roger's intuition was usually quite accurate.

Voldemort, who had been hammered by the little seer to the point of almost having PTSD, couldn't possibly not be wary of another seer!

After reading the book "Discordant Whispers of Fate," Voldemort believed that only one seer could counter another seer.

But what Voldemort wanted was a helper who could assist him in fighting strong enemies, not releasing another living father!

After taking down the garrison near Nurmengard Castle, Voldemort entered the castle and began negotiations with Grindelwald.

The negotiations went smoothly, but Voldemort felt awkward.

Because Grindelwald seemed to have known he was coming long ago and had prepared everything.

It made Voldemort feel like he was being led by the nose.

The current situation was that he needed Grindelwald, not the other way around. Grindelwald didn't seem to care about escaping or even about life and death. He didn't have any leverage over Grindelwald; on the contrary,

Grindelwald had figured out his bottom line.

It was terrible!

"It feels so good to have magic again," Grindelwald stroked his new wand, a smile on his face.

Opposite him, Voldemort didn't meet his gaze but subconsciously averted his eyes.

As one of the exchange conditions of the deal, Grindelwald made an Unbreakable Vow to no longer observe Voldemort's future, but Voldemort always felt that those eyes had seen through everything about him—a disgusting feeling.

Voldemort hated seers!

"What are you planning to do next? Restore your body?" With a gentle wave of his wand, a drizzle began to fall under the influence of the weather charm.

"No," Voldemort shook his head.

He needed a body, but the need wasn't so urgent.

Now that Grindelwald was by his side, the restoration of his power could be temporarily relegated to second place.

Moreover, Voldemort didn't want to just casually find a body.

After suffering a significant loss in Hogwarts, in Harry's body, Voldemort believed that he had to deal with the magic of love that was so targeted at him.

Otherwise, even if he regained his power, it wouldn't be of much use.

With Harry, protected by love, working in concert, he wouldn't have any chance of winning.

He already had some ideas about this, and it would depend on when he had the opportunity in the future.

"I'm going to eliminate one of my weaknesses first."

Compared to the power that could be restored with many opportunities, safety in life was more important.

"The Department of Mysteries?" Grindelwald asked, recalling a glimpse he had seen in some timelines.

"I really should have added a clause to erase your knowledge of my future," Voldemort said unhappily.

The next day, the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic was attacked by an unknown powerful figure.

A large amount of information was lost, and all the Time-Turners stored within the department were plundered!

--- Although it was said to be an unknown figure, the number of people in the entire magical world who could attack the Department of Mysteries was limited.

After all, it was one of the cutting-edge departments at the forefront of global magical research, and the wizarding staff within were not simple people. Only the world's top wizards had the ability to attack the Department of Mysteries.

Combined with the recent major events, everyone knew who the culprit was.

For a time, almost all relevant personnel turned their attention to Hogwarts!
