Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 59: True transmission is a single sentence, false transmission is a thousand volumes of books
For high-end wizards who have truly embarked on the path of magic, their own magical path is something they can talk about, but it must be kept highly confidential.

It's like if you ask a successful businessman how he became successful, he can tell you some clichés about hard work and struggle.

The superficial knowledge of success such as the trend of the times, daring to fight and strive hard.

At most, I can talk about my own mental journey along the way.

But they generally don't talk about how to get through the upper-level connections, the tricks of knowing people and using them well, the core secrets of their own products, the paths of customer acquisition channels, how to manage the network of relationships, how to land smoothly after taking off instead of falling to death on the spot, etc.

But for Professor McGonagall, these were things she could talk to Roger about.

She was Roger's guide in the wizarding world. Under her watch, Roger grew from a child who knew no magic except prophecy to where he is today.

A large collection of books that laid the foundation for Roger's theoretical understanding of magic.

She gave it to me.

Roger is best at magic Transfiguration.

She taught it.

The path of alchemy that increased Roger's growth rate by an order of magnitude.

She was the one who introduced Roger to the profession.

Although they are nominally professor and student, strictly speaking, Professor McGonagall can be considered half of Roger's master.

If this were the ancient wizarding era before Hogwarts appeared, this could almost be considered a successor.

So, in response to Roger's questions, Professor McGonagall told him all the details about her magical journey without reservation.

As the saying goes, a good apprentice will starve his master, but Professor McGonagall is not worried about this at all. She knows Roger very well. The better you treat him, the better he will be to you.

"So, when you first chose the path of magic, you didn't struggle too much, but chose Transfiguration naturally?" The knowledge taught by Professor McGonagall was very valuable, and it was the result of her many years of wisdom, but Roger was more concerned about how she embarked on the path.

Although the magic path in this world does not have the uniqueness of one person per job, it does have another limitation.

That is, magic in this world is a very subjective thing. People who perceive the world in different ways cannot simply use each other's cutting-edge knowledge. It requires some transformation.

Roger, who has already decided to go his own way, is unlikely to deviate at this time.

Professor McGonagall thought about what happened and replied, "Transfiguration is what I am best at, so naturally I have never considered other options."

When wizards choose magic, they don't need to have many concerns like Muggles choose their professions. Strictly speaking, almost all magic is a "conceptual level" ability, but it is limited by the wizard's mental strength, knowledge level, and imagination ability, so the power is not "strong" enough.

If you are really talented in a certain area of magic, you can delve deeper into it. Even a seemingly simple "Disarmament" can unleash terrifying power comparable to high-end magic.

To sum up Professor McGonagall's first pot of gold on the road of magic in one sentence, that is it.

Do what you do best!
After discussing this matter in detail with Professor McGonagall, Roger left with a thoughtful look on his face.

His second target was the Head of Slytherin, Professor Snape.

"...Why are you here?" Seeing Roger coming to visit, Snape had a strange expression on his face, a little nervous and a little awkward.

"I have some questions about magic that I would like to ask you, Professor." Roger said with a smile.

In Roger's eyes, Snape was a little special in the magical sense.

In his early years, he followed the path of black magic, and his mind was deeply eroded by emotional magic, almost beyond redemption. His thinking was already somewhat similar to Voldemort, cold, evil, and increasingly extreme. But unlike Voldemort, Voldemort's thinking was anchored in immortality and power. In order to become the eternal superior, he did not hesitate to do all kinds of crazy things and put his life on the gambling table.

Snape's thinking anchor seems to be power, but in fact it is not. When his anchor was almost destroyed by Voldemort, Snape changed from one extreme to another.

His dark magic was no longer sharp, and his magic path changed from negative emotion magic and potions to pure potions.

Roger was very interested in the impact of his change in magical path on himself.

"What's the problem?" Snape suppressed the awkwardness in his heart and asked in a calm tone that was completely different from the disgusted attitude he had when they met last time.

"It's time for me to choose my own magical path. You should understand what I mean. I would like to consult the professor on relevant matters in this regard." Although he was curious about many details about Snape, Roger didn't actually have high expectations.

After all, his relationship with Snape was not that deep, so Roger was content to be able to get some simple and useful information from Snape.

"The path of magic..." Snape stared at Roger.

It didn't surprise Roger that an 11-year-old first-grade student had already started to be exposed to things that many graduates would never be able to touch in their entire lives.

With Snape's channels in the upper echelons of wizarding society, he had also seen some of Roger's files. This was another powerful prophet after Grindelwald, and he had a deep understanding of Roger's fanaticism and determination after meeting him at school.

Magic is a miracle of belief. The more formidable a person's will is, the easier it is to learn magic.

But he didn't expect that Roger, a Gryffindor, would come and ask him such a question as the Head of Slytherin.

At this moment, Snape thought of many things, including Harry, the prophecy, and Lily...

"Ask me, and I'll try to answer."

Roger didn't expect that Snape didn't teach him everything he knew like Professor McGonagall.

But he didn't hide too much, and he gave clear answers to all the questions he asked.

"The path of magic is important, but not complicated." After the two talked for a long time, Snape finally gave Roger a piece of advice.

"The source of magic is our hearts. Magic will come when we long for it."

"Choose the path you love most, devote all you have, and the miracle of magic will come to you." When he said the last sentence, a complex look was reflected in Snape's pupils.

Ever since Lily left, Snape's spiritual world has fallen into darkness and his magic has been greatly affected.

Not only the power of magic, but also the efficiency of learning and researching magic is completely different from before.

In this frustration, Snape gained a deeper understanding of the nature of magic.

After getting new answers from Snape, Roger should normally go and ask Dumbledore.

But it is really inconvenient to contact Dumbledore, although the wizarding world also has some means of long-distance communication.

However, if these methods involve a certain procedure, there is a possibility of leakage of information.

This kind of confidential matter is really not suitable to be discussed other than face to face.

So Roger went to find another person who was very close to him first.

"Voldemort, why did you choose the path of magic you are on now?"
