Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 25: Reason for being sorted into Gryffindor?

As soon as he entered the room, Roger noticed the sadness that had not yet disappeared from Professor McGonagall's eyes.

"Professor, what happened? Is there anything I can help with?" Roger asked enthusiastically.

Although he came here to see Professor McGonagall to do something, he was not anxious. After all, he had been arrested by the Ministry of Magic before and knew the nature of the Ministry of Magic.

Although there is no complete corruption there, it is also filled with serious bureaucracy like in "Yes, Prime Minister"... In other words, the essence of most departments is to represent the interests of various powerful wizards and families within the Ministry of Magic. They have little influence and it is impossible to get things done without wrangling.

In 1689, around the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the International Statute of Secrecy was signed, and wizards have since divided their forces based on Muggle borders.

Each region is led by several strong local forces (such as the Wizarding Council and the Department of Mysteries in the UK), and everyone has established an organization similar to the Ministry of Magic to manage wizards in the country.

However, the wizards and forces that originally monopolized various magical resources and knowledge would not voluntarily give up their resources and knowledge and be managed by the Ministry of Magic.

Some small forces were crushed by the trend of the times, and what they possessed became various magic books that are now openly sold, while those that were powerful and irreplaceable could only be recruited.

Just like in some countries where the water and electricity supply is monopolized by a certain family, there are countless politicians in the government who have political donations from the family, and there is no way to do anything about them. The only option is to create a special position for these families.

It might not be an easy task for him to obtain the spatial magic Traceless Extension Charm and gain the right to use it to a certain extent. Even if Professor McGonagall is willing to help him, it would probably take several months for approval from various departments involved.

Since he is not in a hurry and Professor McGonagall is in trouble, Roger will definitely give Professor McGonagall's troubles a higher priority.

Professor McGonagall was not only his first guide in the wizarding world, but also helped him a lot in all aspects. It is no exaggeration to say that she helped him avoid many years of detours.

Roger was naturally very concerned about her difficulties.

Roger never lets anyone who has helped him suffer any loss.

"It's not a big deal." Seeing Roger's serious look, Professor McGonagall waved her hand slightly.

"About Quidditch...ah." Professor McGonagall showed a hint of embarrassment on her face.

Quidditch is a popular sport unique to wizards and is the only sport with large-scale competitions within Hogwarts.

It is similar to football or basketball, where the 'players' score points by getting the ball into the goal, and the team with the higher score wins.

However, Quidditch is a game played by wizards on flying broomsticks in the sky, and the ball has the ability to fly on its own... It is said to be a sport that evolved from wizards' magical aerial battles.

In the intramural competition at Hogwarts, each of the four major colleges sent a representative team to compete. Last year, Gryffindor was beaten badly by Slytherin. Minerva McGonagall, the head of Gryffindor, did not dare to meet Snape, the head of Slytherin, for several weeks.

Snape was indeed good at using sarcastic and venomous tongue, and she didn't want to get into trouble with him.

Hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Roger's eyes.

As soon as Professor McGonagall gave the first words, Roger knew what was going on. To be honest, it was partly his fault.

Since the start of the school year, although I have devoted most of my energy to study and magic experiments, I have also done other things.

For example, if a classmate asks me a question he or she doesn’t know how to answer, I will answer it when I have time, so that I can review what I have learned and learn new things.

When classmates caused accidents in class, Roger would help the teacher clean up the mess.

When Gryffindor and its old rival Slytherin students had conflicts, he would try to be a peacemaker. We were all classmates, and Roger didn't want to see bullying happening in front of him.

...Although, whether it was Gryffindor students or Slytherin students, they all felt a chill in their spines at Roger's extremely rough "peacemaking" methods, and not many people were grateful to Roger.

Under Roger's 'intimidation', whenever he was present, Slytherin and Gryffindor always behaved very restrainedly, so...

During the flying class, the conflict between Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter did not happen at all. Everyone was attending the class in an orderly manner and no one dared to get angry.

Harry did not have the opportunity to show his powerful flying talent in front of everyone and McGonagall... Flying is a very dangerous thing, and the flying teacher, Ms. Hooch, would not let students try dangerous moves without permission.

This has led to the fact that to this day, Professor McGonagall is still worried about the Gryffindor Quidditch team's lack of a new strong seeker after the team's previous seeker, Charlie Weasley, graduated and left.

Seeker is the most critical player position in Quidditch. There is no time limit for Quidditch games. The game ends when the Seeker catches the Golden Snitch. If the Golden Snitch cannot be caught, the game can theoretically continue until the end of time.

At this point, Roger asked, "Is it about finding a golfer?"

"Correct."

"Then let Harry go and give it a try. Although it is a bit unusual for a first-year to be a seeker, Headmaster Dumbledore will agree."

"...Can it be done?" Professor McGonagall had never heard that Harry had such talent.

"Trust me, he's fine." Roger nodded his eyes.

Professor McGonagall understood, the prophet's prophecy!

It makes sense that as a powerful prophet, he could see at a glance what he was struggling with and offer a solution.

Seeing Professor McGonagall nod, Roger raised a smile.

Harry Potter had inherited his father's talent, and was extremely strong in Quidditch. Not long ago, he had optimized his entire nervous system. At this moment, Harry's athletic talent seemed to have been enhanced to +15 by an enhancement machine.

In this Quidditch match, Harry Potter, who has unique skills, fighting spirit and patience, will surely bring endless surprises to all his opponents!

"Come to think of it, there will be a flying class soon. Professor, you can go and take a test then. You will be satisfied with Harry's ability." Although he said that, Roger felt that Harry still had to show his ability. Otherwise, if he suddenly joined the team and failed to convince others, it would be bad if conflicts arose among the team members because of it.

You know, a lot of deeper hatreds often start from very small things.

Harry had helped him before, so Roger naturally had to eliminate some possible risks for him.

Professor McGonagall's worries came to an end, and Roger began to talk about the real purpose of his visit.

"Performing magical transformation on your own brain?!" After Roger explained his general purpose, Professor McGonagall's eyes widened with a look of 'are you crazy'.

What is the concept of performing magical transformation on the brain? It's just like a Muggle who taught himself a few medical books and then performed a craniotomy on himself. It's as outrageous as connecting the human brain directly with a machine!
She seemed to understand a little bit why Roger, a boy who was either reading books every day, was sorted into Gryffindor!
No matter how brave the other Gryffindors are, they are just mischievous and can only play pranks on teachers at best.

And you really dare to risk your life!
