Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 167 Dumbledore is not omnipotent
To Professor McGonagall, Roger is now almost like her successor.

She naturally didn't want Roger to take any risks.

But Roger's character is strong-willed at best, and stubborn to death at worst.

Unless he can come up with a better solution, he won't change his mind.

But Professor McGonagall thought about it for a long time and still couldn't think of a better way.

The most traditional method is spiritual practice, but it can only delay the aging process of the soul.

Using the power of time magic to permanently stagnate his own mental state might be a way out, but that would completely deprive Roger of the possibility of "moving forward".

Becoming a being similar to the 'Alaya Will', coexisting with countless life forms and constantly renewing the mind... But that would inevitably make Roger's self no longer pure.

It is completely impossible to keep the mind active by regularly clearing memories. Memory is an important part of a person.

It's like that classic question.

'Which emotion is the most important?'

The answer is that every emotion is important, they are all an integral part of being human, and without them, humans wouldn’t be human.

Perhaps there really is a better way to achieve Roger's vision of eternal soul.

But just as Roger couldn't think of it, Professor McGonagall was also powerless. Human thinking has its limits.

It is difficult for people to think about things they have never known.

"You're just going to leave him like that?!"

In the headmaster's office of Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall, who had just returned from the Ministry of Magic, stared at Dumbledore's old face with a serious expression.

As Roger's magical power grew stronger, Professor McGonagall could no longer keep up with Roger, and now Dumbledore was following up on all Roger's magical matters.

It was impossible that Dumbledore knew everything about what Roger was going to do, but he never told him, nor did he stop Roger from doing those extremely risky things.

To Professor McGonagall, this was simply too wrong!

"Minerva, I have my own considerations." Dumbledore said to Professor Minerva McGonagall with a helpless look on his face.

"Whatever your considerations are, they are not a reason for you to do nothing when a child is in danger," said Professor McGonagall dissatisfiedly.

"...Let's not talk about the child. You know Roger's temper."

"Even if I try to persuade him, it will be useless and may even have the opposite effect."

"As for helping Roger perfect the plan from a magical perspective, that's meaningless."

Professor McGonagall's expression turned into a confused one, a 'do you know what you're talking about' look.

Dumbledore did not keep the secret, but expressed his understanding: "Roger will continue to move forward until he reaches the end of eternal life."

"And because of his insecure personality, he will not care about the risks involved and boldly use high-risk plans as long as there is a certain possibility of success."

"Even if I can help him once, there will always be a time when I can't help him."

Strictly speaking, Dumbledore had helped Roger a lot during their joint research on magic.

And this time when the soul remains young, it is precisely the time when it is of no help.

"Minerva, I would be confused too."

Although Nicolas Flamel is also a close friend of Dumbledore, he has always been an image closer to an "elder and senior" to Dumbledore.

In front of him, there were some things that Dumbledore couldn't say freely.

But Minerva McGonagall was different. Their friendship was softer, and Dumbledore could reveal more of his feelings.

"After you can't keep up with Roger, choose to let go and leave Roger to me."

"What about me? What should I do when I can't keep up with the radical pace?"

Roger's path can actually be roughly described in one sentence.

High risk high reward!

Given Dumbledore's character and identity, he couldn't be as 'crazy' as Roger.

In the advancement of magic, it can be said that it is inevitable that conservatism cannot keep up with radicalism.

"I have difficulty giving him any advice on more and more issues." Finally, Dumbledore could only bring out what Nicolas Flamel once said to him: "Go and believe in him, believe in Roger."

In Dumbledore's life, he experienced too many things where good intentions turned out to be bad.

So he knows.

Concern leads to chaos.

Sometimes, what you think is helping you may actually be causing more trouble.

In the eye contact with Dumbledore, McGonagall understood Dumbledore's thoughts.

He left with a sigh and turned away.

In his youth, Dumbledore's personality was actually quite radical.

But after experiencing various hardships in life, Dumbledore began to become conservative.

Deep down in his heart he longed for change, but the wisdom gained from his experience told him that maintaining stability might be the better option for most people.

In this stubbornness, Dumbledore finally chose to start.

He chose to trust in the future chosen by the prophet.

Perhaps, he will bring a different and better world than Grindelwald.

The Ministry of Magic's affairs were dealt with simply, and the mines buried around Voldemort will probably take some time to explode.

The development of a new second brain, like a new magic wand, takes a long time and cannot be rushed.

Hermione's affairs have also been arranged...

After returning from the Ministry of Magic, Roger planned his schedule one by one according to his memory.

The research on harassment flies with Luna was scheduled for the weekend, so what I should do next today is...

Just as Roger was thinking, an unexpected person came to him.

Hagrid!

"Have you come up with any new results in your experiments with magical creatures?" Roger asked puzzledly as he looked at Hagrid who came to him.

As the warden of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, Hagrid has a lot to do every day. Under normal circumstances, he rarely comes to see him.

“That’s not the case. There is a little bit of a breakthrough, but that’s not why I came to you.” The tall and strong half-giant shook his head.

"I want to ask you something."

Looking at Hagrid's awkward expression as if he didn't know how to start the conversation, and recalling what had happened recently, Roger instantly understood what he was here to ask.

"Dumbledore told you?"

"...Yes." Hagrid nodded. What he wanted to ask was about the basilisk and the Chamber of Secrets.

The Chamber of Secrets and the Basilisk once caused Hagrid to be wrongly charged with manslaughter.

Ostensibly, Hagrid was deprived of the right to own a wand.

A wizard without a wand is like a Muggle without his limbs.

The matter of casting spells is secondary, the main issue is the crime.

Hagrid wanted to ask the little prophet if he could overturn the verdict.

Of course Hagrid believed in Dumbledore, but with the prophet around, he subconsciously wanted double insurance.

If the prophet who could see the future said it was certain, then Hagrid would be completely relieved.

"You don't have to worry about overturning the verdict. Just trust Dumbledore."

"What is this breakthrough you just mentioned?" Roger looked at Hagrid with a vigilant look.

It wasn't because of anything else, but mainly because Hagrid had given him so many big tasks to do.

Roger couldn't help but be alert.

Just like Dumbledore was worried about Roger and was always afraid that Roger would make a big news, Roger was the same with Hagrid!
