Hogwarts: The Wizard's Eternal Life

Eleven years ago, Voldemort was in his prime, about to change the order of the British wizarding world and take the first step towards his ambition, when a prophecy emerged.

'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches, born of those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies. The Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will possess power that the Dark Lord knows not... And either one must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives, and the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.'

So, the question arises.

After Professor Trelawney, the Divination professor, made this prophecy, how did it spread and reach Voldemort's ears?

Seeing Voldemort's half-smile, Snape remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "Voldemort, stop playing these pointless games."

"Oh?" Voldemort noticed that neither Harry Potter nor Snape showed any significant reaction to his provocation.

Snape continued expressionlessly, "I have told Harry everything. My crimes will be accounted for when judgment day arrives."

Snape knew he had made many mistakes in his life. In the past, he didn't care. Lily was gone anyway, and he was merely a fallen soul watching over the lingering shadow she left in the world.

It was like a person without parents, family, friends, wife, or children; many things wouldn't matter.

But now, it was different.

Lily might return. How should he conduct himself? Should he continue to evade? The Snape of the past.

Because he dared not face a future without Dark Magic.

Because he dared not challenge the strong as a weakling.

Thus, he lost everything.

...Would he have to lose it all again? Snape had pondered this question many times, but in the end, he found the answer in Harry.

A child of 11 years had the courage to face his past.

What about him?

A ray of light pierced Snape's dark world, dispelling the dust.

Harry was determined to settle the score with Voldemort, but how could Snape risk Lily's only chance of resurrection?

Although there was intel that 'the Seer personally stated Voldemort is currently extremely weak,' ... that was Voldemort!

As someone who was once close to the Dark Lord, Snape understood the terror of that person and would never let his guard down, no matter the time.

So, after making some contingency plans, he declared he would act with Harry.

Undoubtedly, Voldemort knew a great deal about his dark past. If he and Harry appeared before him together, whether before the battle or during it, Voldemort would surely use psychological tactics to do something.

To avoid this, Snape chose... sincerity! "It seems you have truly chosen to stand against me, Severus." Noticing the brilliance in Snape's eyes that shouldn't belong to a Dark Magic practitioner, a flicker of disappointment crossed Voldemort's gaze.

One of his most cherished subordinates had left him forever.

"I stand neither for righteousness nor for evil; I have always stood on my own side."

With that, Snape and Harry drew their wands and pointed them at Voldemort.

Both had their loved ones killed by Voldemort, so they had nothing more to say to him.

...

"When did you return?"

"Just now."

"Is the business in the Middle East over?" The incredibly perceptive Seer had long noticed that Voldemort was slightly different from usual.

Coupled with Harry's prior heads-up, he naturally knew what was about to happen.

But he hadn't expected that while secretly following Voldemort, he would see a familiar tall old man with a white beard also 'secretly peeping.'

"It's not completely over, it's just reached a temporary conclusion. Never mind that, is this your plan?" Dumbledore, hiding nearby with Roger, pointed at the four people who had already begun to fight, acting as Snape's contingency.

"No, it's just that after Harry made his choice, I didn't intend to interfere," Roger replied casually.

Roger's presence here was to fulfill his promise to Dumbledore to properly handle Voldemort's affairs, serving as insurance against any unforeseen circumstances.

Roger's power varied greatly depending on the period. Therefore, his approach to situations also differed.

When he first enrolled, his magical strength, excluding his precognition, was only around that of a senior student. His understanding of the magical world came from books, and he didn't know what lay ahead. Naturally, he didn't want to get involved in the conflicts between pure-blood and Muggle-born factions in Slytherin.

A month after enrolling, he had already reached a level where he could fight Aurors without any enhancements. Thus, he didn't care about Harry's minor issues and casually discussed topics related to eternal life with him.

In the second month of enrollment, on Halloween, Roger had already grown to a level where he could contend with professors without relying on his prophecy, and he began to scheme against Voldemort.

In the third month, the Second Brain technology matured, Roger's strength entered a new phase, and his growth efficiency soared.

And now, in the fourth month, Roger verified with his precognition that he had the ability to suppress the backlash of Voldemort's trump card in his residual soul state. Therefore, he let Harry do as he pleased.

"Harry's current situation is actually very dangerous..." Dumbledore said gravely, gazing ahead.

The four were engaged in a fierce battle. Because his identity was exposed so early, Voldemort was well-prepared. His corruption of Quirrell was much deeper than in the original timeline.

With his contingency activated, Quirrell was instantly controlled by Voldemort. Although it was different from resurrection, the combat power displayed under Voldemort's guidance was quite formidable.

On the other side, Harry Potter stood at the forefront, with Snape providing support from behind.

That's right, Harry was in front.

At this moment, Harry knew many things. After Snape chose to be honest with Harry, Harry also learned about Love's Magic.

Since he could deflect Voldemort's malicious magic, he naturally hadn't considered hiding behind Snape! "I don't think there's anything wrong with this," Roger said.

With Roger and Dumbledore both present, Harry's danger wasn't about fighting Voldemort.

Roger understood that what Dumbledore was saying was actually about Harry Potter's mindset.

Magic is a miracle of the mind and belief.

A strong mind creates powerful magic.

So then... what about a weak mind? What would a mind that constantly despises and doubts itself create? The answer was Dumbledore's eternal pain.

Obscurus.

In Dumbledore's eyes, Harry at this moment had the potential to become an Obscurial!
