Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 35 Unbreakable Vow
Strictly speaking, Roger's current magical journey has just begun.

Although he learned a lot through Professor McGonagall's book.

但就像普通人明白了高等数学大概是什么概念，也不等于会了，还是得从1+1=2，2x2=4开始学起。

Roger's premonition of crisis allows him to fully learn an "algorithm" and quickly transform the knowledge he has mastered into various practical technologies.

But it cannot speed up his learning process.

He learned a lot of magic quickly purely because of his natural talent, not because of his prophetic ability.

What the predictive ability brings to Roger is the ability to accelerate invention and research and development in areas related to the human body and self, rather than the ability to accelerate basic learning, and it certainly cannot create a technology out of nothing.

When you look up at the stars, you must also keep your feet on the ground.

Just like his own magical research, after deciding not to let Harry interfere and to solve the problem of the Philosopher's Stone by himself, Roger also thought of taking it step by step.

If we can talk, then talk nicely. If we can't talk nicely, then talk with swords and guns. If neither swords nor guns work, then use the final solution.

…Although Voldemort is only a remnant soul now, and is not very strong in terms of strength, a rotten boat still has three pounds of nails. If he has any killer moves, it would be bad if he hurts any professor or student.

The matter of the troll came to an end soon.

A low-intelligence magical creature, the professor can quickly deal with it as long as he confirms where it is.

Professor Quirrell, who was stunned by Roger's words and confirmed that the Philosopher's Stone was in Roger's body, did not make any trouble as his original fate had expected.

Instead, at midnight when everything seemed to have calmed down, he came to an embroidered tapestry on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle.

"Professor, you're not going to report me for violating school rules by going out at night, are you?" Roger, who had been waiting here for a long time, looked at Professor Quirrell who had finally arrived and said in a joking tone.

At this moment, Professor Quirrell was not at all the timid look he usually had when teaching, and he didn't even dare to look his students in the eye.

Instead, his face was full of gloom and his eyes were cold.

"You asked me here not to talk nonsense, did you?" Quirrell's mouth didn't move at all, and another low voice came from behind his head.

At that time in the auditorium, Roger whispered his identity and agreed that they would meet here tonight, so he appeared here.

Voldemort is in a bad mood now.

He originally thought that this prophet could not predict his own future, or did not intend to meddle in his affairs and wanted to keep out of his way.

But unexpectedly, he actually cut off the source of the problem and was waiting here!
"Okay, it seems that you are not interested in small talk, so let's get straight to the point. Let's continue with the previous topic, can you give me this face?" Roger said with a smile.

“Why?” Voldemort asked succinctly.

Voldemort was not so powerful at the beginning, and he had to flatter others during his growth.

But why should I give in now?
You are an 11-year-old little prophet who doesn't know much about magic. You want me, Voldemort, to retreat three feet with just one sentence?
joke!

Roger did not answer directly, but said: "I am actually doing this for your own good."

"You can't get the Philosopher's Stone anyway, so why waste your energy on it?"

"...prophecy?" Voldemort understood the hidden meaning in Roger's words.

Then he sneered and chuckled: "I am the one who controls my destiny. Don't try to trick me with your riddle tricks."

Voldemort was a man who believed in the existence of fate, which was evident from the number of his Horcruxes and Harry's story.

But Voldemort has never been a man who submits to fate!
He studied arithmetic and divination in order to control his fate and use the power of fate to achieve greater success.

It’s not that the savior must be Harry Potter, but that Voldemort chose Harry Potter, so he became the savior!

...It's interesting to say that the more people can see their fate clearly, the more they want to show that man can conquer nature, even if they usually use the power of fate to make a profit.

The prophet said that he could not obtain the Philosopher's Stone? Voldemort did not believe it.

"Control destiny?" Roger recalled Voldemort's original fate. Just like someone in Greek mythology, he created his own destruction. He shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that I can't convince you with just words."

"How about this, let's play a little game." Roger took the last step that he had been reluctant to take and pushed open the door that appeared on the wall at some point.

The Room of Requirement will appear after you walk through this wall three times.

Fortunately, Roger had anticipated that everything might not go so smoothly, so he had other preparations.

"I heard that Mr. Voldemort is a person who likes to study fate, but it seems that you have never been an enemy of a true prophet in your life?"

During the years when Voldemort was rising, Grindelwald had already been imprisoned by Dumbledore. Apart from Grindelwald, the wizards in the wizarding world today can only be said to have certain predictive abilities, but they are far from being prophets or even powerful prophets.

"Don't you feel a little regretful?"

After the door was opened, the Room of Requirement turned out to be a spacious and huge place, like the scene of a Hogwarts Quidditch match.

Sensing the scene inside the door, Voldemort probably guessed what Roger was going to do, and the corners of his mouth under his turban raised an arc of interest: "What game do you want to play?"

"How much do you think the difference in strength is between me and Professor Quirrell?"

Voldemort thought for a moment and said, "You have great potential, but it has not yet been realized. From my usual observation of you, you know no more than 30 spells, and you are not proficient in most of them. You should only be very good at Transfiguration, Levitation, and those magics you have developed yourself."

"You should have mastered the Transfiguration spell to a level that allows you to fight directly, which is quite rare. Your mental strength is also good, but... you probably have no experience fighting wizards."

"As for Quirrell, although he is a waste, he is barely up to the level of an ordinary Hogwarts wizard. If you fight head-on, I think it will be about 70-30. Quirrell seven, you three." Voldemort said truthfully.

Hearing Voldemort say this, Roger did not refute but nodded: "Okay, then I will announce the rules of the game."

“The rules are very simple and can be explained in a few words.”

"Professor Quirrell, if you can defeat me in a head-on magical duel, I will give you the Philosopher's Stone, and I will also lend you one of my arms. The battle will not be decided in one round, nor in a best-of-three round. Instead, from now on until the end of this school year, Professor Quirrell will have a chance to challenge me every week."

"As long as he wins any game, you win."

"The restrictions are that you can use verbal guidance or teach him magical knowledge to help him improve his strength, but you cannot directly intervene in the battle. You also cannot use any other means to try to obtain the Philosopher's Stone before the game with me is over."

"Of course, I will not use powers other than my own to influence the battle, such as asking other professors to intervene in the battle."

"How is it?" Roger said calmly.

Voldemort made a rough calculation and found that from now until the end of the school year in June, there would be about 6 challenge opportunities per week, and he could also provide off-field guidance.

In 34 battles, as long as we get 1 win, we win.

"Haha, that's interesting. I agree." Voldemort didn't believe that his judgment would be wrong. Even if Roger's strength was different from what he expected, it would not be too different.

So Voldemort understood the real 'answer' to the game between Roger and himself.

This little prophet wanted to see for himself how a prophet plays with fate!

Make yourself understand that it is impossible to get the Philosopher's Stone from him.

Well, since he wants to play, Voldemort will naturally not be afraid to accept the challenge!

It just so happened that Voldemort was also somewhat curious about how the power of destiny would manifest itself in the hands of the prophet.

Overturn the table and rob at this moment? Voldemort didn't think that a prophet would dare to come without a backup plan.

"Then it's a deal." Roger stretched out his right hand and made a gesture for a handshake.

This seemingly friendly gesture made Professor Quirrell's pupils shrink.

[Magic spell - unbreakable oath! ]

Once an agreement is reached, if it is not completed as required, the curse will backfire and kill you!

Quirrell carefully thought over the "conditions" just now, and after making sure there were no traps, he held Roger's hand with a trembling arm.

"You two?" Roger asked with a slightly puzzled tone.

After a few seconds of silence, Voldemort manipulated Quirrell's other hand to clasp it.

The three parties determined the content of the oath.

The curse is done!

At this point, Roger smiled with satisfaction.

Now there is no need to worry about unexpected events that might cause other students and professors to get hurt.

Roger abandoned his original destiny because he didn't want Harry to be traumatized.

But he also didn't want other innocent people to get hurt because of his choice.

and so.

It is enough to handle all the things by yourself!
