Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 27 The Turn of Fate

Magic is a complex subject. It is extremely difficult for most people to reach a high level in one branch. To innovate and develop in multiple directions is something that only a very small number of truly strong people are qualified to do.

Although Professor McGonagall is very strong, she is not that strong.

As for alchemy, Professor McGonagall could only say "yes", but she didn't get very far in this field as she focused her main energy on Transfiguration.

Even when I learned alchemy, it was only to explore more possibilities of Transfiguration and to try to create alchemical items directly through Transfiguration.

After the failed exploration with little gain, she did not continue to delve deeper into the path of alchemy.

But even so, it is enough to teach Roger, a layman, the basics.

Professor McGonagall taught Roger alchemy, but she actually had her own ideas.

She could see that Roger was a very stubborn person. Although the kid was willing to listen to advice, as long as he thought it was the right thing to do, no one could stop him from moving forward. Even if there was a life-threatening situation ahead, he would not look back.

Minerva McGonagall had not forgotten their conversation in front of the Leaky Cauldron.

Reverse time and space, and gain redemption from the long river of time... Life is long, who doesn't have some regrets?

Whether from a teacher's perspective or from a personal perspective, Professor McGonagall hopes that Roger can live well.

So she wanted to guide Roger into a new path. Using external objects for experiments would be much more tolerant and safer than working on her own body.

Of course, learning alchemy is not something that can be done overnight; it has to be done slowly.

After agreeing with Roger that he would take some time to teach him alchemy privately, the two left the vice-headmaster's office and headed for the spacious courtyard of Hogwarts Castle.

Madam Rolanda Hooch's flying lessons are about to begin.

After walking for a while, when Roger and Professor McGonagall arrived, most of the students were already there.

The school spirit of Hogwarts advocates teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. Ordinary students take ordinary courses, and motivated students study on their own in the library, and then join the clubs organized by teachers to take small classes. You go to the Ministry of Magic, and I go to the Ministry of Magic. Everyone has a bright future.

Secondly, the school advocates unity and competition. After the students are divided into four major colleges, it does not mean that they have no intersection at all. On the contrary, in order to have more interactions between them, the school's courses are generally studied together by two random colleges.

For example, in this class the lion is with the snake, and in the next class the lion is with the eagle.

Today happened to be a common class for Slytherin and Gryffindor. They were divided into two lines according to their houses, and they winked at each other intentionally or unintentionally.

This could be considered as a daily "communication" between the two rival colleges, but when they saw Roger coming, both the little lions of Gryffindor and the little snakes of Slytherin couldn't help but twitch their faces, and the atmosphere gradually calmed down.

Draco Malfoy, who had originally been at odds with Harry Potter because Harry Potter had totally ignored his respect and rejected his advances on the train, thus hurting his self-esteem, retracted his glare at Harry and looked down at his magic broom.

Ever since he and Harry had a big fight after a class last time and were "punished" by Roger, he didn't want to offend Roger anymore.

…Shouldn’t a prophet only be able to predict the future? How can he also see into the past and expose other people’s dark history? How despicable!

Roger pretended not to notice the atmosphere between the two sides and started communicating with Madam Hooch together with Professor McGonagall.

Rolanda Hooch, who was calm and conservative, obviously had some objections to Harry, a new student, becoming a seeker for the school team, but she frowned but did not explicitly object.

After all, on one side was the vice-principal and a prophet, and on the other side was the 'savior' of the British wizarding world, and she was a teacher of the 'flying water course' which did not involve high magical skills. Even if she wanted to interrupt...

I understand everything I understand.

.

.

Things went very smoothly. Harry's flying talent was already very high, and combined with the physical talent that Roger had transformed for him, Harry became terrifyingly strong.

Now, as long as he gets a little training to gain some experience, he will be fully qualified to be a regular player in the World Quidditch League. At this level, playing in the Hogwarts school competition is like a second-tier member of the national team playing in amateur competitions.

After Harry performed in front of the two professors according to Roger's instructions, even Madam Hooch, who loved Quidditch and hated privileges and bad rules forced on people, was completely speechless.

In fact, contrary to her slight disgust just now, her eyes were almost shining when she looked at Harry.

"Great, what a great talent!" Rolanda Hooch even began to imagine Harry winning the Quidditch World Cup in the future.

Professor McGonagall was also very satisfied. It seemed that she didn't have to hide from Snape this year.

Roger is even more looking forward to what interesting scenes will appear in Quidditch this year.

Looking at the expressions of several people, Harry, who had just performed several difficult moves, knew that he was safe this time.

Just when the four people present were in a good mood, an accident happened.

"I said, I don't need you to teach me!" Ron, who had fallen to the ground and was covered in grass debris, got up.

"Hahahahahaha..." Draco looked at the long red and swollen mark on Ron's face caused by the stick of the flying broom, and laughed out loud.

The Malfoy family, who valued blood honor, had always been unhappy with the Weasley family, who were considered the "shame of the pure-blooded saints". Seeing Ron embarrassed, they were naturally very happy. "I..." Hermione Granger frowned and wanted to say something.

Ron saw that Hermione wanted to talk, and even ignored Draco who was laughing at him. His blood pressure soared, and he glared at Hermione with a red face: "I say! I've had enough of you! I've had enough of your high-handed and nosy attitude! No wonder you have no friends!"

He almost shouted these words.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hermione's eyes suddenly turned red, her breathing became rapid, and she opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out.

Hermione Granger is a little wizard from a Muggle family. Her family has nothing to do with magic. A letter of admission sent her to this strange world.

She was curious about the world of magic, but also terrified of this strange land where she had no relatives.

In response, she chose to study and equip herself with knowledge, but she "stumbled" just as she took the first step towards school.

She ran into Roger.

She discovered that the skills in the books that only a few elite wizards could master, things that she herself couldn't even figure out how to get started with, were things that truly talented wizards could easily master as children.

Her confidence was shaken, and it was not until she officially started studying at Hogwarts and discovered that Roger was just an exception and most of the young wizards were not even as good as her that she regained it.

But even so, the feeling of powerlessness after the blow still did not completely dissipate. The little wizards from the surrounding wizard families were familiar with each other before entering school, but she was the only one who was excluded from various circles, which made her feel more lonely and uneasy.

She longed for friends, longed to be recognized by others, and wanted to get rid of the invisible discrimination brought about by her different background.

So, how can you get these?

Hermione Granger thought the answer was simple: Roger Virgil!

He was born a Muggle like himself, but he easily gained everyone's recognition. Although most people were a little afraid of him because of Roger's way of doing things, those who had been helped by him also sincerely believed that Roger was trustworthy and respectable.

"If you feel desperate and at a loss, why not try going to Roger?" Such words began to circulate among the students.

Hermione envied Roger, so she decided to imitate him.

Roger doesn't care what others think of him and is a maverick, while Hermione uses disguised arrogance to make herself different.

Roger never slowed down his study, and Hermione also spent every day in the library studying without sleep or food.

When others seek reasonable help from him, Roger will basically help if he can. Hermione uses her advantage of knowing a lot of knowledge to point out the mistakes others make in learning magic as much as possible and give correct guidance.

She shares the knowledge she considers most valuable for free, hoping that others can feel her heart.

Apart from suppressing classmates with an iron fist and forcing the students of the four major colleges to "maintain superficial friendship in her presence", which was something that there was really no way to imitate, Hermione had tried her best to replicate all of Roger's actions in her own way.

But Hermione did not have a good ending. Loneliness still lingered around her and people stayed away from her.

And today, it is even more...

Ron was a different case. He was born into a family with many children. As a younger brother, he had a low status in the family and was not taken seriously. His entire childhood was filled with various unhappiness.

He wanted to be a powerful wizard, a man like the Quidditch captain who, in his impression, was the center of attention, majestic, and respected.

But after he entered Hogwarts, he found that his talents were not enough to support his ideas, and the speed at which he learned various knowledge seemed mediocre.

So he started to play badly, playing wizard chess every day, doing the minimum required to complete his homework, complaining, and always muttering about the little things in life.

And today, his only good friend, Harry, seemed to be becoming the person he had always dreamed of becoming.

Ron was happy for his friend, but a feeling of sadness and bitterness still came over him.

He looked at his broom, a fire burning silently in his eyes.

"Try it, try it, maybe I have the same talent as Harry?" a voice in my heart kept saying.

He began to try to do some non-curricular flying moves at a low altitude of two meters above the ground, which he had seen on the news, the flying moves of Quidditch players.

Hermione noticed Ron's rash behavior and tried to stop him, but Ron didn't listen to her at all.

So she began to point out some problems Ron had during flying to prevent him from making mistakes and causing accidents.

But flying is something that requires concentration, and the shame of having his mistakes pointed out, coupled with Draco's half-smile on the side, made the 11-year-old boy feel even more embarrassed.

In his agitated mood, he lost control of the broom and hit him in the face, causing him to fall to the ground.

...When they were studying magic in other classes before, Ron was upset with Hermione because she was "meddling", but he endured it because Harry told him not to speak ill of others.

This time he was being 'meddled' again, and all the new and old grudges erupted together, leading to what just happened.

Noticing the quarrel between students, Professor McGonagall wanted to go over and stop it, but Roger reached out to stop her.

"Let me do it, Professor."
