Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 29 Dumbledore's Great Expedition (bushi)

Roger Virgil was the man Dumbledore saved from the Wizengamot.

Dumbledore's silence at the time was seen by many members of the Wizengamot as a statement.

Strictly speaking, this action of his is risky.

After all, Roger has a lot on his shoulders. Not only are he guilty of many crimes, but to some extent, he also faces diplomatic risks.

But Dumbledore still chose to help.

However, Dumbledore is not the kind of despicable person who I feel pity for and then does whatever he wants, and finally makes innocent people pay for his actions.

After Roger was declared not guilty, Dumbledore kept an eye on all of Roger's actions to prevent himself from accidentally releasing a disaster.

From what happened in the Middle East, we can see that Roger Virgil is a man who dares to think and act. If such a person does evil, the disaster will be too great!
Fortunately, Roger did not betray Dumbledore's trust.

Professor McGonagall's feedback to herself was that this child would become a pillar of society in the future.

After he entered school, his various actions made Dumbledore feel much more relieved.

...Although it was a bit outrageous to see some Slytherin and Gryffindor students using their iron fists to suppress their classmates to quell the dispute after a group fight.

But when someone comes to him for help or he sees injustice happening right before his eyes, he really helps.

The incident between Hermione and Ron was not the first time that Roger lent a helping hand to his classmates, nor would it be the last. After gaining more trust from Dumbledore, he decided to give the little prophet more responsibilities.

Of course, that was if Roger was willing to accept it. If he wasn't willing, Dumbledore wouldn't force him.

After all, Roger Virgil's situation is different from Harry Potter's. Harry carries the prophecy chosen by Voldemort, and his future will definitely not be stable. Training him is necessary if the child wants to survive.

Roger didn't have any karmic enemies, so if he didn't want to, Dumbledore would make other arrangements for the Philosopher's Stone.

Roger is a man who speaks his mind. Apart from the true details of the prophetic ability that concerns his own life, he always speaks his mind on many issues.

He didn't beat around the bush with Dumbledore and asked directly why he thought of giving the Philosopher's Stone to him for safekeeping.

"Because I have to go on a long trip for business recently, what I want to do is a little troublesome, and it is not suitable for me to take the Philosopher's Stone with me, so I thought of you." Dumbledore said with a kind smile on his face.

Dumbledore didn't see any problem with the fact that Roger didn't ask what the Philosopher's Stone was or why it was in his hands.

Roger is a prophet. It is normal for a prophet to know some information that others don’t know.

As a former close friend of Grindelwald, he knew too well the inexplicable intelligence capabilities of powerful prophets.

"Going away, where are you going?" Roger frowned slightly.

In the original destiny, Dumbledore also "left school" for a period of time, but he was "tricked" out by Professor Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, and wrote a letter pretending to be from the Ministry of Magic. It was near the end of the semester and it was still early.

strangeness……

Soon, Roger's doubts were resolved.

"A trip to the Middle East." Dumbledore still remembered that Roger was a child who hated lies.

Besides, it was a bit of an exaggeration to act as a riddler in front of a prophet, so I just told the truth.

"Is it what I thought?" Roger narrowed his eyes.

"Yeah." Dumbledore could understand Roger's eyes and nodded in affirmation.

Dumbledore has never been a person who likes to leave the mess to others to deal with. He always plans everything and makes everything the best arrangement.

Not everyone likes his approach, but he really does all kinds of actions with the original intention of "making everyone better". This trip to the Middle East is also the same. He saved Roger himself, which caused a little reaction there. Dumbledore did not mean to let the British wizarding world be a shield. He wanted to go to the Middle East in person to "talk some sense".

"I have to be on guard against Quirrell?"

"Yes." Dumbledore knew that his choice was absolutely correct.

The little prophet already knows everything without having to speak it himself.

No matter who you entrust the Philosopher's Stone to, there is a possibility that unexpected situations will occur, but not the prophet. The prophet can predict the future and everything is under his watch!

"If you encounter any problems, you can seek help from a trustworthy professor. I will give you a handwritten letter from me as a token of trust." Knowing that the little prophet has not grown up yet, Dumbledore also arranged backup for him.

As he spoke, Dumbledore took out a red lens and a letter.

"...Did you know that Quirrell has a part of Voldemort's soul in him?" Looking at the Philosopher's Stone in front of him, Roger thought for a moment and then said.

"Ah?" Dumbledore was stunned.

Roger looked at Dumbledore's expression, which was a little shocked but not surprised, and at this moment he solved another puzzle.

It seems that Dumbledore did not know from the beginning that the other party was Voldemort.

... Quirrell, a professor of Muggle studies who was still teaching Muggles last year, certainly could not break into the vault of Gringotts. Dumbledore should have had relevant suspicions since then.

Judging from the original trajectory of fate, it was probably after Voldemort sucked the blood of the unicorn to prolong his own life that Dumbledore confirmed that the person behind Quirrell was Voldemort.

There are not many wizards who have such strength, whose lives are in danger, and who cannot seek help from themselves through legal means.

I also thought of what Dumbledore said to Harry on his sickbed at the end of the semester: "Everything is as I planned," and all the things that were originally destined...

So one of your actions often has multiple purposes and more than one set of plans, and you can adjust them at any time according to changes?
Seeing that Dumbledore was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, then hesitated and slowly withdrew his hands holding the Philosopher's Stone and the letter, Roger guessed what he was worried about based on his understanding of Dumbledore.

"Okay, give it to me. I'm just telling you so that you don't make a wrong judgment due to lack of information." As he spoke, Roger reached out and took the Philosopher's Stone and the letter from Dumbledore.

"You..." Dumbledore was obviously still hesitating.

After all, that was Voldemort!

"It'll be okay." Roger tapped his eyes, the meaning of which was self-evident.

The prophet predicted, steady!

Although Roger's prophecies cannot be as good as Grindelwald's, he can foresee all crises related to himself. If someone is plotting against him and can harm him, Roger will be able to sense it.

Although the feeling is not so clear, it is just a vague premonition.

But there is only one strong man in Hogwarts who wants to attack me. There is no fog of war on my side, and I can use Dumbledore's letter to call for help. How can I not win?

"But."

Roger interrupted him: "You can't always help me, I have to help you too, right?"

The issues in the Middle East have never been resolved. Religious prophets are definitely not a small problem in the Middle East. During this period of peace and quiet, Dumbledore was there to protect me from the wind and rain.

No ill will was allowed to appear before Roger.

Roger doesn't have the habit of asking others to pay for him blindly. He will naturally do anything he can to help without hesitation!

"Well, then let's talk about other things about the Philosopher's Stone." Seeing Roger's insistence, Dumbledore didn't say anything more, but told Roger the second purpose of his visit.
