The future seen by a Seer and the future seen by a prophet are different.
Destiny is a real force in this world, and those who accidentally glimpse a corner of it don't know how to control or resist this force.
When they see destiny, they don't transcend it; on the contrary, by coming into too deep contact with destiny, they give the force of destiny an outlet for 'venting,' making everything 'fated.'
But Seers are beings on another level.
Besides being able to flip through destiny more freely, Seers themselves are crystallizations of the force of destiny. They are like supermassive celestial bodies in the universe, possessing immense 'gravity' that can distort everything around them.
Destiny is inconstant and changeable in the eyes of a Seer; a tiny action of their own could cause events to flow into another timeline.
Therefore, even with the ability to predict the future, Seers rarely use it often.
Witnessing too many possibilities of uncertain futures might instead bring confusion to the Seer.
But…
"Roger, you're watching, right?" Grindelwald tucked a strand of slightly messy white hair behind his ear and gazed up at the sky.
The above describes the usual situation. Once a Seer encounters a special circumstance, they will definitely use their abilities to glance at the future.
Harry Potter has had an anomaly; that young Seer couldn't help but use his prophetic abilities to observe the past and future.
Grindelwald was restricted and couldn't openly transmit information to Roger.
But Seers have their own methods.
As long as the young Seer sees him leading Voldemort to the Ministry of Magic, he will naturally understand what he wants to convey.
...
After disembarking from the Hogwarts Express, Luna and Roger temporarily parted ways.
According to the enrollment process, first-year young wizards, following the actions of Slytherin, Gryffindor, and the others when Hogwarts was founded, are retracing the path walked once by the four founders of Hogwarts.
Last year, when Roger first enrolled, he knew little about the wizarding world and simply followed Hagrid's steps leisurely.
But looking at it again this year, Roger suddenly felt that this might not just be a formality.
In the wizarding world, rituals are everywhere, and this imitation of great wizards...
With some thought, Roger, along with other older young wizards, took a different path from the first-year young wizards towards the Hogwarts Great Hall.
As in previous years, Hogwarts was holding the Sorting Ceremony and the Welcoming Feast on this day.
Unlike the quiet procession of the first-years who didn't know each other, the crowd here had already started chattering and catching up before they even reached their destination.
For the children, not seeing each other for over two months felt like a very long time, and they had endless stories to tell.
"Roger, did you see Harry? I couldn't find him." A slightly flustered voice sounded from beside Roger.
Turning his head, he saw Ron Weasley, and beside him were George and Fred, the Weasley twins.
"Don't worry about Harry; he was delayed by something. He should arrive tomorrow." After observing Harry's past using divination, Roger also used Voldemort as a stepping stone to briefly observe Harry's future, confirming that he would be fine.
However, there was a problem.
According to the current trajectory, Harry missed the train after escaping the time loop.
He wanted to follow the Hogwarts Express tracks to the school, but he failed.
He couldn't pass through Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.
Harry then attempted to force it open with magic, and his spell attracted the attention of the guards on the other side of the platform.
They couldn't let Harry's actions go unchecked, even if he was Harry Potter.
If Harry were to go near Hogwarts along the tracks, it would be negligence on the part of the guards.
But they had a solution.
As long as they shifted the responsibility to the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry would then send someone to contact Dumbledore.
Not holding a position means not meddling in its affairs; the guards felt their actions were not problematic.
But they didn't know one thing: nowadays… Voldemort was also at the Ministry of Magic! "You'll see Harry in tomorrow's class," Roger said, thinking of the dramatic scene where Harry saw Voldemort at the Ministry of Magic.
Although it wasn't dangerous, Roger still didn't want it to happen because it would shift Harry's focus from magic to worrying about Voldemort's affairs.
This was not a good thing.
Therefore, before even arriving at Hogwarts, Roger had already contacted Dumbledore through Dream Shadow, asking him to send someone to intercept the situation before it happened.
Preventing Harry from having another face-to-face encounter with Voldemort.
Roger did have his own people within the Ministry of Magic, but this was Hogwarts' business after all, so it was better to let the Headmaster handle it.
"That's good, that's good," Ron Weasley said, relieved upon hearing Roger's words.
The wizarding world was not a peaceful place. Even setting aside Voldemort, Death Eaters, and the like, there were quite a few dark wizards and various dangerous magical accidents.
The Daily Prophet and The Quibbler, among other newspapers, almost every issue had news about magical accidents and near-misses. Some were minor incidents like turning one's own chest into a backside, but others were major events where even bodies couldn't be found.
At such a crucial moment as enrollment, not seeing Harry's figure naturally made Ron worried.
He had already searched the crowd three times.
It wasn't until Roger's words completely dispelled its doubts.
Roger was a Seer, so his words were naturally trustworthy.
With Harry's matter settled, the Weasley twins by the side had other things to discuss with Roger.
"About the virtual world..."
"...We failed." Both of them looked somewhat dejected.
Shortly after Roger developed the virtual reality world last semester, this technology had greatly piqued George and Fred's interest.
Roger felt that these two were indeed talented, so he specially gave them a key to the virtual world's Creation Mode.
When they left school at the end of the semester, the two had said their 'new world' was almost ready and they would write to invite Roger to visit.
Unfortunately...
Just as the two were about to explain in detail the problems they encountered with virtual reality, the queue ahead stopped. They had arrived at the Hogwarts Great Hall.
After some thought, the Weasley twins decided against asking Roger for precise technical details in such a noisy environment.
They would find a quiet place to discuss it in a few days.
Entering the Great Hall, the young wizards took their seats one after another. The ceiling still showed the same mystical magical projection, and Dumbledore and the professors waited ahead.
The Sorting Ceremony was about to begin.
But unlike last year's grand spectacle, this year the young wizards were still eager to see what new students would join their respective houses, but they weren't as nervous.
"Roger, which house do you think that girl who was in our carriage on the train will go to?" Neville asked, sitting next to Roger.
Upon hearing this, Hermione, sitting across the long table, also cast her gaze over.
Luna had never had a good impression of Hermione, but it wasn't because Hermione had done anything wrong.
It was just that Luna's overly sensitive senses had detected the 'danger' after Hermione had made a mistake with the Second Magic.
It was like knowing your neighbor had previously lived in a mental institution – it would naturally affect your perception.
Hermione, on the other hand, wasn't particularly fond of Luna either, but the reason was different.
Hermione found that her way of perceiving the world was almost the opposite of Luna's, and the two naturally wouldn't get along.
It was like people who believed in the heroic historical view versus the people's historical view, or those leaning left versus right, sitting together would always cause some friction.
Roger, hearing the question, thought for a moment and recalled the past, confirming that he hadn't yet had too much of a personality influence on Luna before replying, "Ravenclaw or Gryffindor."
"Both are possible, but I think Ravenclaw might be a higher probability."
Hogwarts' Sorting wasn't like detecting spiritual roots in cultivation. The student's personal wishes played a significant role.
And human will is fickle. Without using prophecy or divination, Roger couldn't give a 100% correct answer.
.
.
.
"Hufflepuff!" the Sorting Hat sang, looking dirty and worn.
The first young wizard to be sorted walked towards the Hufflepuff table.
In the world of cultivation, you were assigned to a corresponding peak based on your spiritual roots.
Hogwarts' Sorting was a different situation.
As the Sorting Hat had told Roger last year, the standards for sorting weren't that high.
It wasn't necessary to have the courage to face ten thousand enemies; daring to catch cockroaches and spiders with bare hands could also be considered.
Being brave and forthright, calm and knowledgeable, eager for achievement, kind and simple... people couldn't be completely devoid of these traits.
And people are complex. Most people aren't suited for only one house. In such cases, the student's wishes become very important.
For example, Roger was most suited for Slytherin, followed by Gryffindor, and then Ravenclaw. But at the time, Roger didn't want to go to Slytherin, so the Sorting Hat sent him to Gryffindor.
Therefore, Roger couldn't be sure which house Luna would definitely go to.
If Luna wanted to come to Gryffindor, given her later courage to participate in the war against Voldemort, it wasn't impossible for her to come.
