Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 110 Grindelwald's Rise

Knockturn Alley, which is full of dark magic items, is adjacent to Diagon Alley, the center of the British wizarding trade. It is only a few steps away, but it has been able to operate under the nose of the Ministry of Magic. I am afraid that Peeves will not believe that there is no trick here.

After entering Knockturn Alley with Roger, Harry found that it was not as exaggerated as Professor Snape described, but it was indeed not a good place.

Smugglers from all over the world, dark wizards who have been corrupted by black magic and have mental problems, buyers who cover their heads and sneak to buy contraband, and...

"Hey, kids~Are you lost?" A bald wizard with a face full of flesh and a skinny witch in a black robe stopped Roger and his companion one after another.

"Do you want us to help you find the way home?" Although the words were polite, the expressions of the two did not seem to contain any kindness.

"I'm not lost. I'm just looking for a place where I can exchange Galleons for pounds and euros. Could you please show me the way... Ms. Taylor?" The light in Knockturn Alley was a little dim. When Roger raised his head and looked at her, she could see Roger's face clearly.

When her name was called out, she was stunned for a moment, and after another second she felt that Roger seemed very familiar.

Another two seconds passed, and she froze, not even noticing the bald-headed accomplice's look of "Are you an acquaintance?"

She now wanted only to turn around and run, but she didn't dare.

"Can't you?"

"...Of course, it's my honor to lead the way for you." The witch said with difficulty in her hoarse voice squeezed out from between her teeth.

At this time, the bald wizard also realized that something was wrong. Although he could only see the back from his angle, he knew that the witch had the same reaction when she accidentally offended someone she could not afford to offend.

He didn't run away. Losing his composure in the face of a strong man would only make things worse.

"Then let's go." Roger's ability to divine the past was not very strong, but he could still find out the general past of a person who was much weaker than himself. When he was in school, Roger warned him by digging up Draco Malfoy's dark history as a child.

He took a look and verified it twice. The witch in front of him had only done petty theft and extortion, and had never committed murder for money, not even robbing a store, so he didn't care too much.

As I said, the enforcement intensity for different crimes is different, and those who walk on the edge of the law dare not break any law.

The witch walked forward with weak legs.

There were quite a few people in Knockturn Alley, and as they went deeper into Knockturn Alley, more and more people noticed this strange combination.

"That is……"

"Oh my God, Merlin's beard." If we had met the prophet and the savior somewhere else, I'm afraid everyone would have surrounded him, shaken his hands, asked for his autograph, etc.

But this is Knockturn Alley, the black market for illegal transactions.

And Roger is still working at the Ministry of Magic.

For a moment, everyone was trying to avoid it as much as possible, and they all ran away, just like when they encountered the Aurors coming to investigate and raid!
No, this is scarier than Aurors. At least Aurors can't see through your past and future.

Roger ignored those who were fleeing with guilty consciences. His past divination was far from being as powerful as that of predicting everyone in front of him in an instant. It would take several seconds to prepare for just one person, and it was not 100% accurate.

He just continued to follow the skinny witch.

In places like the black market, there are generally two trading modes. One is that complete strangers meet and make a one-time transaction.

The other is that the store has been in business for a long time, and without an acquaintance to introduce, it is difficult to get the real good goods from the merchant, and you can only buy some superficial odds and ends.

…Dark magic items are inherently dangerous. If they cause serious casualties, the shop may be in trouble, but the temple cannot, so they usually only do business with people they know.

Before Voldemort appeared again, it was still the era of Dumbledore, and everyone was very restrained.

"You want to exchange so much?" The black market currency exchange businessman was a little surprised.

"Why, it's not possible?" After Roger's alchemy was completed, he still had a lot of money in his hands. In order to avoid the trouble of doing this frequently in the future, he wanted to exchange more at a time.

Only a small part of the money will be spent on traveling, and he plans to invest the rest in some Muggle industries to make more money.

The businessman stared at Roger for a few seconds, then turned to look at the skinny witch who brought Roger and the other man here. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you the best discount."

On the one hand, he did not dare to offend this prophet who was surrounded by all kinds of horror legends, worked in the Ministry of Magic, and was said to have a good relationship with Dumbledore.

On the other hand, although the witch was trembling with fear, she was not hurt. It seemed that the prophet was a man who was willing to abide by the rules and not abandon the donkey after it had done its work, so he did the business.

"...I want to be a good person." After Roger left with two full boxes of money, Witch Taylor thought about retiring.

"Me too." The bald wizard's heart was still beating faster than when he had just finished running 3 kilometers.

If you walk too much on the night road, who knows what you will encounter. Goodbye, Knockturn Alley.

There were quite a few people when they came, but it was quiet when they left.

"Did you feel it? What I said before." Walking in the dark alley with almost no pedestrians, Roger looked at Harry beside him.

"The relationship between the outside world and you will change as you change." Harry murmured in a low voice about the conversation between them not long ago.

"This is just the beginning. One day you will also face this situation, being admired and feared by everyone. People will admire you to the point of madness, and fear you to the point of not even daring to look at you."

"There will even be people who hate you for some inexplicable reasons. As long as you keep getting stronger, one day you will experience it all." Roger gave Harry some psychological preparation.

The three-dimensional method has not been made public yet, but it is estimated that it will not take too long, maybe three or two years, or maybe even shorter. When Roger's power breaks through to the next level, he will start formal action.

The world order will be very different by then.

Time waits for no one, and Roger hopes that Harry can mature quickly and not be blinded by the tide of the times. This is one of the main reasons why he wants to take Harry with him on this trip.

People's wisdom and concepts will change according to their knowledge and experience.

Roger wanted Harry to experience more things that he had never experienced before.

Roger could have guessed without any prediction that with the change of fate, many opportunities for refinement in his destiny would pass Harry by.

Just like Hermione had experienced.

After that one time, Roger thought it would be a good idea to give Harry some tips on this.

"You should be aware that the societies of Muggles and wizards will become closer and closer over time. This is the trend of the times."

"Not only the wizarding world, the Muggle world will be like this one day in the future." Roger gave the second shot of prevention.

Harry lowered his head and remained silent, as if thinking about something.

"...Where is our next stop?" Harry instinctively resisted this topic related to world changes.

In the eyes of young teenagers, growth is what they look forward to, but change is what they hate.

For Harry, who has a close friend, a mentor, a partner, and whose relationship with his family has also undergone new changes, now is his best time.

Except for the position reserved for his parents, he didn't want to change anything else. He wanted all relationships to remain solid in the present.

The child just hasn't grown up, not that he doesn't know how to grow up. He knows that when everyone grows up, they will have their own careers and they will no longer be able to play together carefree.

Just like Professor Snape who always has a sad face, and Professor McGonagall who is worried about the children's mischief, how long has it been since they let down their guard and laughed heartily with their friends?

"Go to Germany." Roger knew that too much is as bad as too little, so he didn't continue the topic.

People will never learn something even if they are taught a thousand times, but they will learn it once through practice. Rather than talking about reason, Roger prefers to speak with reality.

"Germany was one of the epicentres of World War II and is now undergoing drastic social changes."

The privileges of the four occupying powers were abolished and East and West Germany were reunited two years ago. But reunification is not the end, it is just the beginning.

The conflict is happening in Germany today.

"At the same time, Grindelwald was in that area when he rose to power during World War II."

"There should be a lot of residual effects left there."

At this point, Roger's eyes became far-reaching: "Whether from the perspective of wizards or Muggles, this place before and after social change is worth a visit."

Roger wants to use the three-dimensional method to practice with the power of all living beings. This is also a kind of change. He believes that the trip to Germany may bring him some gains.

Of course, time on the road cannot be wasted.

"Speaking of which, Harry, it seems that you learned the Time Cinema spell quite well. Let me teach you a new time magic."

"Huh?" Roger changed the subject so suddenly that Harry didn't react for a moment.

"I named it 'Time Travel'. I think traveling would be half as fun if you don't learn this spell!"

Roger believes that if traveling is just about observing the present, it would be too boring. When visiting places of interest and historical sites, one must of course delve into history and experience it for oneself!

That's what's interesting.
