Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 6 Professor Lao Mai also wants to play the resurrection match
Roger's idea is actually very simple. He just thinks the world is wonderful. As an "audience" and "performer", he is unwilling to leave before he has seen and experienced enough.

A person's life is limited, and the time when one is most creative, has the ability to learn, and has the most energy is only a few years. For many outstanding scientists, their most important scientific research results were created in their youth.

Roger would never waste those precious seven years at Hogwarts.

So he chose to make it clear.

Roger didn't see any particular risk in doing so.

The pursuit of immortality is an idea that most people have had.

This is not a taboo in the wizarding world.

There may not be many people like Nicolas Flamel who has lived for more than 600 years and is still alive today.

But there are many people who use their powerful magical abilities to extend their lifespan to one or two hundred years.

For example, the former headmaster of Hogwarts, Armando Dippet, took the position of headmaster when he was about 200 years old.

What is truly taboo is achieving immortality through black magic.

For example, a Horcrux requires cruel means to make.

The reality was just as Roger expected. Professor McGonagall had no special opinion on Roger's pursuit of immortality. She was concerned about another point.

"...Roger, the continuation of life can be traced, but resuscitation is an absolute taboo that cannot be touched." Professor McGonagall said to Roger seriously with a serious and slightly sad face.

[Give the wizard unlimited time and magic, maybe... the wizard can gain the ability to reverse everything, eliminate all regrets, and obtain all desires. ]

This sentence touched Professor McGonagall a little.

It also made her worry whether Roger was going to touch the real taboo in the wizarding world - resurrection of the dead!
It was normal for Professor McGonagall to think so.

Because she knew that Roger had lost too much and witnessed too much death on the battlefields in the Middle East.

Professor McGonagall helped organize the funeral of Roger's parents in this body.

Looking at Professor McGonagall's expression, Roger knew that she was thinking the wrong thing.

But he did not refute, but continued: "Resurrection is impossible, I know this very well. But, what is death?"

"In ancient times, death was considered when the heart stopped beating. In modern medicine, brain death is considered complete death. For wizards, death is considered when the soul dissipates."

“The definition of death changes with the advancement of technology and the change in people’s understanding of the world and their ability to intervene.”

"Perhaps one day, as long as there is still a trace of a person in history, and there is still someone who remembers him, he will not be considered dead. The wizard may be able to pull the person he wants to save out of the long river of time."

If Professor McGonagall was only slightly touched just now, she was really shocked at this moment, and she couldn't help but stop walking.

Because Roger's topic touched upon something more taboo than resurrection.

Reversal of time and space!

Roger noticed Professor McGonagall's increasingly fierce look and chuckled. "Professor, don't look at me like that. I value my life very much and won't do anything that's extremely risky."

"What I want to say is that as long as people live long enough, they can slowly wait for the continuous development of civilization. In the future, there will always be one or even many people who will do anything to save themselves from their regrets. All I have to do is plant trees and flowers, and then quietly watch the flowers bloom and fade. When the peaches and plums have grown into shade, I can pick up a few fallen fruits."

It's like a modern person who doesn't know how to make a mobile phone goes back to ancient times and gains the ability to live forever. As long as he spreads the concept of mobile phones and some ideas of modern science, after three to five hundred years, maybe people will be able to play with mobile phones. If a few hundred years is not enough, a thousand years will definitely be enough.

In this process, he doesn't even need to take the initiative to do too much, as there will always be smart people who will do it.

Roger plants some ideas upstream of the timeline and harvests them downstream, naturally. That's all there is to it, without any need for too many fancy things.

All he has to do is preserve the results of each technological advancement and prevent them from being lost in history so that people keep reinventing the wheel.

People always say that a thousand years is too long, and that in order to live up to one's youth, one must seize the day. That is because ordinary people can only seize the day, but for those who are immortal, time is another concept.

...Of course, these are all things in the future, and Roger doesn't know if he will ever be able to live forever.

It is clear that learning magic is not easy, as most of the graduates from Hogwarts will not engage in jobs deeply related to magic. At most, they will learn some spells to become wand-wielding 'magic technicians' and 'magic armed personnel'. Only a very small number of people can continue on the path of magic research.

The conversation with Professor McGonagall was just a casual chat after the topic of life planning was developed.

For him now, the most important thing is to learn magic first.

Unfortunately, after leaving the Middle East and being a prisoner in Britain for some time, Roger forgot one thing.

Roger thought that he was just like the boys who played keyboard skills at night after the lights were turned off in the boys' dormitory. He was just walking on the street and had nothing to do, so it was okay to chat a few words.

But in Minerva McGonagall's eyes, it was not the case at all!

Minerva McGonagall had never forgotten that Roger was a prophet.

He is different from the Riddler, Sybill Trelawney, the Divination Professor at Hogwarts, but is closer to Gellert Grindelwald, the man who almost changed the wizarding world, a powerful prophet who can accurately predict the future!
A joke? Nonsense?
Minerva Magg was more inclined to wonder if this young prophet had really predicted something?

Will the future really be born?
A magic trick that can save people from the river of time?
With many regrets in her heart, Minerva McGonagall, who had just wanted to warn Roger about the taboos and dangers of reversing time and space, could not help but lose her focus.

It's no wonder Minerva McGonagall thought so. Whether it's the soul or time and space, they are both high-end fields in magic and are definitely not accessible to a little wizard who can't even cast a single spell.

As long as there is a soul, one is not dead, and it also vaguely involves the secret of the dark magic of Horcruxes.

How did Roger know this? Is there any other answer besides the prophet?
Time passed quietly as the two chatted.

When Professor McGonagall came to her senses, the two were already standing at the door of the Leaky Cauldron.

Roger stood beside her, his eyes full of desire for the magical world.

Wands, spell books, and all kinds of knowledge about the wizarding world, all he had dreamed of was right behind the Leaky Cauldron.

That is Diagon Alley, the largest wizarding trade center in Britain.

And when the two of them stepped over the threshold of the bar, the bustling bar, which was originally crowded with many drinkers, suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop!
