Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 42: Nipping the World-Class Crisis in the Bud

Hagrid can be a little confused sometimes, but he always knows right from wrong.

When he realized that the magical creatures he bred could potentially cause a world-class disaster, although he was reluctant, he still agreed to Roger's request.

Seeing this, Roger nodded, but did not start killing the Demon of Fear immediately. Instead, he bound the Demon of Fear bred by Hagrid with a spell, and at the same time cast magic to block the large area around it.

Then he left the cottage next to the Forbidden Forest and walked straight towards Hogwarts Castle.

Back at Hogwarts, Roger came to the Divination classroom.

Divination is an elective course for third-year students, and he did not take it as a first-year student.

"Professor Trelawney, could you please come out for a moment?"

The moment she saw Roger, Trelawney couldn't help but shudder.

After all, it would be very difficult for her, a lame fortune teller who makes a living by relying on the half-crippled talent inherited from her prophet ancestors and whose fortune telling is sometimes accurate and sometimes not, to stand up straight when she meets a truly powerful prophet.

Roger was not familiar with Professor Sybill Trelawney, who taught this course. When he suddenly showed up, Trelawney thought that this true prophet was going to destroy her job.

Fortunately, Roger quickly told her his purpose, which made her feel relieved.

Roger has a letter left by Dumbledore. This letter is not only a keepsake, but also a magical item. It can mobilize a lot of resources in Hogwarts, which is equivalent to half of the principal's authority.

Roger asked Sybill Trelawnine to temporarily stop teaching and called in students she believed to have some real divination ability.

Professor Sybill Trelawnian is usually crazy and spends most of her time in class doing "psychological divination"... It's the same trick played by fake Taoist priests in fortune-telling stalls on the street. Nine out of ten sentences are false, but she does have the ability to tell fortunes.

Harry and the Dark Lord's prophecy were her work.

She could naturally tell which students actually had the ability to divine.

With the principal's token, Roger quickly gathered a team of fortune tellers.

In divination, it is much easier to predict what has already happened than to predict what may happen in the future.

Roger called these people over to prevent any possible omissions and to ensure that all the demons of fear in the world were wiped out!
Although Roger is a prophet, his main ability is concentrated on crisis premonition. It cannot be said that he is completely incapable of predicting other aspects, but he cannot reach the level of a "prophet".

Therefore, it is safer to verify and check with multiple parties.

There is nothing much to say about the disinfection process, it is done in seconds with just one spell.

A demon of fear that has not fully grown is not that difficult to deal with.

Just like any bird of prey, it is vulnerable when it is still an egg.

But everything did not end with the completion of the disinfection.

After a screening more exaggerated than that in a biosafety level 4 laboratory, Roger asked Hagrid to find the little girl named Luna who could see harassment flies.

On the other hand, returning to Hogwarts again, he went straight to find Professor McGonagall, the person he was most familiar with and who also had the highest position in the school.

"Contact the Ministry of Magic?" Professor McGonagall's eyes widened.

"Yes, I need to speak directly to Minister of Magic Fudge and the head of the Department of Mysteries." Roger said seriously.

"But given my status, my words are insignificant. I hope you can convey what I want to say to them."

What Roger had to do next was simple. He had to inform the Ministry of Magic and the Department of Mysteries about the existence of the species of the Demon of Terror and the possible harm it could cause.

Although the Department of Mysteries is nominally a subordinate agency of the British Ministry of Magic, in fact, the Department of Mysteries was established earlier than the Ministry of Magic. Even the Minister of Magic sometimes cannot completely interfere in all the internal affairs of the Department of Mysteries.

This department, which studies the most cutting-edge fields of wizard civilization, such as time, death, soul, and the universe, has a certain degree of independence, so it is best to talk to both sides. Of course, in order to avoid some legal troubles and other troubles, Roger would not blindly reveal all the information.

He would suggest that the Ministry of Magic keep the existence of the Demon of Fear in a sealed archive with magic similar to the Fidelius Charm, just like some of the Department of Mysteries' internal research that has never been made public, and create targeted contingency plans.

As for the Demon of Terror, he would only say that it was the offspring of a Boggart and another magical creature, but he would not say that the other magical creature was a harassment fly, and other details.

Anyway, as long as the Ministry of Magic strengthens its control over Boggarts, the Harassment Flies will naturally not be able to clap... If Hagrid hadn't used special means, these two creatures would have no connection in nature.

As for Luna, he will deal with it later. Not only will he control the information, but he will also release some false information to prevent Luna from encountering unnecessary trouble.

...Lies are different from strategic fraud. Although Roger hates lies, he is not so stubborn.

"Why?" Professor McGonagall was puzzled.

Since the matter has been settled by Roger, it doesn't matter if it is not reported to the Ministry of Magic, right?

Protecting one's relatives is also a certain custom in this small and flat wizarding society... Sometimes people will not easily take things to a higher level unless things become difficult to handle.

Roger, knowing what Professor McGonagall meant, replied: "Covering up the problem is not the best way to solve it."

If Hagrid can create the Demon of Fear, so can others. Roger doesn't believe that in the future countless years of human civilization, only Luna will be able to see the "Disturbance Fly".

Not only in the future, maybe some ancient wizards can also see it, but it has become another name in the mouths of ancient wizards... Maybe, the Harassment Fly is the inner demon in the mouths of some people in the East?

What if there is someone in the future who happens to meet the conditions of Hagrid and Luna, and the demon of fear appears again and spreads quietly?
"Since we are aware of the possibility of a crisis, we must solve it. We cannot let the present generation realize the existence of a problem or cause trouble but ignore it, allowing all the dangers to ferment quietly until it is out of control and then be thrown to future generations to take over, right?"

Therefore, it would be better for the Department of Mysteries to come up with a relevant plan.

"If you do this, you might get yourself into trouble..."

"I know." Roger interrupted Professor McGonagall's exhortation.

At the beginning of the battlefield in the Middle East, Roger had the opportunity to leave, but he did not leave. He chose to keep his promise and play the whole game.

Back then in the Wizengamot, it might have been safer to let a lawyer defend him, but Roger didn't want to hand over his life and death to someone he couldn't trust, so even though he knew the outcome might not be good, he still defended himself and chose his own destiny.

Roger actually said from the beginning that he was a person who was afraid of death, and he never denied it.

But... for Roger, 'self-will' is also a part of life.

Doing things that violate your bottom line and growing into someone you hate is equivalent to death in Roger's eyes!
I am no longer myself, what is the point of existing?
So, Roger will always fight and never do anything he thinks is wrong.

Professor McGonagall looked at Roger's calm eyes, nodded, and stood up to contact the Ministry of Magic and the Department of Mysteries through Hogwarts channels.

After the professor left, Roger suddenly rubbed his forehead while waiting for both parties to arrive.

He suddenly remembered something.

I provided the ideas and some of the technology, which allowed Hagrid to accidentally create this magical creature with great catastrophic potential. If this kind of thing can happen once, it is definitely possible that it will happen a second time.

It seems that you should not be too casual about outsourcing your own path to others.

"Harry..." Roger frowned slightly when he thought of Harry who might come to find him.

In a sense, Harry is the protagonist of a certain destiny.

If Harry really started practicing time and space magic, and something went wrong, Roger didn't think the trouble he could cause would be less than that of Hagrid.

"We need some insurance measures."
