Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 3: You are undoubtedly a wizard
When the charge is ambiguous and can be interpreted either positively or negatively, the key point of the judgment becomes whether Roger Virgil as a person and the precedent passed against him will cause harm to the wizarding community.

At this point, Dumbledore's choice was to give trust to the child, while also believing in his own vision and ability.

The court began to adjourn, and a figure slowly walked up to Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore, you're going to have some troubles."

The old man wearing the Wizengamot wizard uniform, who looked not much younger than the 100-year-old Dumbledore, stood there and spoke in a deep tone.

"Well, I'm ready." Dumbledore knew what his old friend, whom he had known for many years, was talking about.

In fact, the MACUSA didn't care much about Roger Virgil's case. The interests of the MACUSA were not completely consistent with those of the United States. It only wanted to find an opportunity to do something. In Dumbledore's eyes, it was easy to deal with.

The trouble is in the Middle East. Roger lied during the war that he was a religious prophet. This was one of his crimes, but... he really is a prophet!
There are even some people in the Middle Eastern magic world who really believe that Roger is the legendary religious prophet!
Although wizards seem to be out of touch with the Muggle world, the boundaries of wizarding power are divided according to the national borders of Muggles, and every year a considerable number of Muggles become little wizards as a result of magical rebellions when they were children.

Some pure-blood wizard families are even nobles canonized by Muggle countries.

Even with the international law of secrecy, the boundary between the wizarding world and the Muggle world is not that strong.

In this situation where most countries in the world are religious, a considerable number of wizards are also influenced by religion. Some of them are because their Muggle parents' family education is biased towards the various churches, and some of them are hostile to the church because of their wizard family education and they know about the "witch hunt" in the past.

On the other hand, in the Middle East, there are people on both sides who believe that Roger is really the "prophet", so some people want to help him, while others want to kill him.

The reason why this case was moved to the UK for trial was partly because Roger was born in the UK, and partly because there was fierce infighting in the Middle East over this matter, and no one could convince anyone else, so the case was moved here.

Now, at the final trial of the Wizengamot, Dumbledore remained silent and with a vote of 30:20, Roger Virgil was found not guilty and released in court, but the matter is far from over.

The old wizard had known Dumbledore for many years and he knew Dumbledore's character. He understood that this soft-hearted yet paranoid old headmaster, since he had saved Roger, would definitely protect him to the end.

There will probably be some minor friction between the British wizarding community and the Middle Eastern wizarding community.

After hearing what Dumbledore said, the old wizard said nothing more, just nodded and left.

Now that Dumbledore was prepared, there was nothing to worry about.

After all, he is the headmaster of Hogwarts, the cradle of all wizards in Britain, the chief wizard of the Wizengamot, the president of the International Confederation of Wizards, and the greatest wizard in Britain this century!
He believed that his old friend could solve all the difficulties in the world!

now.

Standing at a cross street in London, behind him is one of the entrances to the Ministry of Magic headquarters disguised as a telephone booth.

Roger had a strong sense of unreality.

He was already prepared to be sentenced to Azkaban, to survive the torture of the Dementors, to use all means to gain some magical knowledge from the prisoners, to lie dormant for seven years, and to wait for Voldemort to resurrect and liberate the Death Eaters in Azkaban, so that he could take the opportunity to escape from prison.

...He has not read the novel of "Harry Potter", and has only seen the movie "Order of the Phoenix". He felt that the style of the later movies was too different from the earlier ones, so he did not watch them. He only occasionally saw some clips on some short video platforms.

But since Death Eaters appeared later, that means Voldemort should have granted amnesty to the world, right?
Roger didn't know, but in life, one should always give oneself some hope.

But I didn't expect that when you think there is no way out, you will find a way out.

I am actually innocent? !
"How is it? Do you feel relaxed?" A soft voice sounded from beside him.

Roger looked back and saw Dumbledore standing beside him.

He was still wearing the uniform of the Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot, as if he had not had time to change, but his expression did not show any of the majesty he had in the courtroom. Instead, he looked as kind and amiable as a grandfather next door.

"Indeed, this feeling of freedom is fascinating," Roger said truthfully.

"Mr. Dumbledore, I am deeply grateful for your kindness. I will always remember everything you have done for me." Roger looked up at the tall old man, who was over 1.8 meters tall, with a serious expression.

If the Dumbledore in front of him was really the Dumbledore that Roger knew from the movies, it would be reasonable for him to lend a helping hand given his personality, but Roger never took other people's help for granted.

He will always remember this kindness.

Looking at Roger's serious expression, Dumbledore just raised the corner of his mouth and raised his hand to gently rub Roger's silky golden hair twice: "You are only 11 years old, still a child. Don't always be so serious as an adult. You are free now, you are safe now. If possible, I hope you can live a life like other children, like a child, smile more." Roger lowered his head and remained silent.

Like a child...?

After experiencing so many life and death experiences, he not only felt like a child, but he even felt a little out of touch with the normal people around him.

Seeing Roger's look, Dumbledore paused, then withdrew his hand and did not continue talking further, but changed the subject.

"Now, Roger, what are your plans for the future?"

Just like what the old Wizengamot wizard thought, since Dumbledore chose to save Roger, he would choose to save him to the end, instead of dragging him out of prison and throwing him into the crowded street and leaving him alone.

Although Britain is a peaceful country, it is not so peaceful that a child can run around the streets all day without worry. There are homeless people, illegal immigrants, gangs, illegal wizards, magical creatures... There are always some unstable factors that make people worry.

"First, let's try to contact my mother's family. My father is an orphan, and the only people I can contact are my mother's family. My mother's business is mainly in Kuwait. With the destroyed industry and the penalty for not completing the orders, the company is probably going bankrupt."

"If I choose to inherit, I will mostly inherit debts. I have lived in Kuwait since I was 7 years old and have had no contact with my relatives here for almost 4 years. I don't know what their attitude towards me is now."

When talking about how he went from being a wealthy Roman noble to being a penniless kneeling soldier, Roger's tone remained calm.

In his opinion, there is really nothing to worry about, and his most valuable wealth is the knowledge in his mind.

Knowing the direction of the future world, he has plenty of opportunities to make money.

not to mention……

"But even if they don't welcome me, they won't ignore my mother's affairs. I brought back some money from Kuwait. It's not much, but it's enough to take care of her funeral affairs."

"As a minor, it is very inconvenient to handle these matters. I need their help. After I finish handling my parents' funeral, I will focus all my energy on one thing."

"What is it?" Looking at Roger's thoughtful expression, Dumbledore sighed inwardly. It seemed that it would be a long way to go to let this child live a life like other children.

"Confirm whether I am a wizard or not."

"If so, I will find an opportunity to learn magic."

Yes, now that it has been confirmed that this is a magical world, the most important thing is of course to learn magic!
Rather than money.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment: "Hmm?"

Roger knew what Dumbledore was wondering about, so he explained: "Although you all say that I have committed many magical crimes, I am actually not sure whether I really know magic or whether I am really a wizard."

"According to the information I learned from the detention center and others, the normal magic riot of a young wizard is very short-lived, which is not the case with me. Moreover, apart from being able to sense crises related to myself, I don't have any other abilities."

"So sometimes I wonder if my 'ability' is really magic? I've heard that there are other creatures with special abilities in the world, such as ghosts, centaurs, vampires, trolls..."

Speaking of this, Roger's expression became somewhat uncertain.

After going through so much, he has long understood the importance of power, and he also knows what he really desires.

It would be a heavy blow to Roger if he missed the power of magic.

"You are just thinking too much, kid." Dumbledore shook his head with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Since the Ministry of Magic has charged you with these crimes, they must have irrefutable evidence."

As he spoke, Dumbledore took out a white envelope and put it into Roger's hand.

Then he said: "Those little wizards who were born in Britain and have lived in Britain for a period of time, their names will appear on the admission list of Hogwarts School of Magic through the power of magic."

"Here is your Hogwarts admission letter."

"Roger, there is no doubt that you are a wizard!"
