Chinese students at Hogwarts

The leaden sky was covered with dark clouds. After autumn, the light rain brought a hint of coolness.

Several people did not hold umbrellas, letting the light rain fall on them.

After a while, the hair was covered with tiny water droplets.

They lowered their heads and mourned in front of the tombstone for a while, then took a deep look and turned to leave.

The dead are gone, and what the living have to do is continue on the road they have not yet completed.

"Come on, I feel very bad now and I really want a drink."

The tips of Sirius' hair in front of his forehead were dotted with small water droplets. His face was pale, and jagged stubble grew wildly around his lips. He looked decadent and lonely.

"A drink? What a good idea, Sirius. It's a very nice thing to have a drink in this weather."

Dumbledore stretched out his hand, and Zhang Xiao put his hand on it.

Disapparation is such a convenient magic. I really want to learn it.

With the crackling sound, the ancient cemetery became empty again, and the silvery drizzle rushed to fill the empty space.

Contentedly occupying the entire cemetery.

The old house of the Black family has completely changed, and Zhang Xiao's elves have faithfully completed their mission.

The floor became brighter, and there were many more magic candles in the whole room. These candles emitted light comparable to light bulbs, illuminating the whole room brightly.

All the moldy and rotten wallpapers on the walls were replaced with new ones. Although the portraits could not be moved, they were polished as clean as new. Many Muggle oil paintings were actually found in the Black family's warehouse.

So these purebloods may sound grandiose on the surface, but in fact they are more honest than the other.

Just like two years ago, Zhang Chengdao said that he would open up trade exchanges between the East and the West.

Good guy, let’s not mention the declining purebloods for now. Those active purebloods all have companies. The size of the company may vary, but it allows them to enjoy a sufficiently comfortable Muggle life.

As for the "Wizard's Statute of Secrecy" - please, if the secret is leaked, it is a breach of the Statute of Secrecy. If the secret is not leaked, it is a waste of paper.

As long as there are no leaks or questioning from the Ministry of Magic, the purebloods will naturally be able to handle it.

Maybe a little help from magic will be needed in the operation, but who knows?

The whole old house had changed so much that Sirius was stunned for a moment, and then he came to the living room on the second floor.

A roaring fireplace soon filled the living room with warmth.

"Kreacher, go get some wine."

Sirius threw himself into the soft armchair, stared at the roaring fireplace, and whispered.

What happened in the cave before made Kreacher's attitude much better. He no longer cursed Sirius in a low voice, but became a little silent.

Regulus's pendant hung around his neck. They had already read the contents inside, and Sirius only became so decadent after reading the note.

It bent down and bowed deeply to Sirius, then disappeared. When it reappeared, there was already a large tray in its hand, with the mead Dumbledore wanted and Sirius' whiskey on it. .

And non-alcoholic butter beer, this is for Zhang Xiao.

"Ah, in this weather, it would be nice to sit around the fireplace and drink a glass of warm mead."

Dumbledore raised his cup to signal and smiled with enjoyment.

The answer was that Sirius raised his head and drank half a glass of straight whiskey with ice cubes.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiao still asked:

"Sirius, what are your plans next? Harry will be going to school soon."

Sirius smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said confusedly:

"I have no idea."

Dumbledore rested his elbows on the armrests, tapped the wall of the cup rhythmically with his long fingers, and said softly:

"Sirius, I think Zhang's advice was very good. It's time for you to live your own life.

Harry is growing up very quickly. He is an outstanding little wizard and will have a life of his own soon, you know what I mean. "

Of course Sirius understood that Harry would soon fall in love, get married, and have children of his own, and it would be impossible for him to live with him forever.

Maybe this time will be longer, but people are different after all.

"You are the only one left in the Black family, Sirius."

"But I don't like the Black family. Look at the heads of those elves on the wall and the ridiculous things they do. I-"

"Sirius, it's not the family that decides what a person becomes, it's the people that decide the family, right?

Look, even the oldest and most stubborn Black family still has characters like Andromeda, Alphard, you and Regulus. "

Dumbledore said meaningfully. The firelight in the fireplace was reflected in his half-moon lenses. In Zhang Xiao's opinion, that was the 'flash of wisdom'.

It's not the family that decides the person, it's the person that decides the family.

Sirius leaned forward, holding the wine glass in his hand. Now that I am the only one left in Black, I can decide the direction of the Black family?

"I'm thinking, thinking--"

Zhang Xiao put down his cup and asked politely:

"Professor Dumbledore, some things in the old house have been cast with permanent sticking spells. The elves have nothing to do. Can you help me?"

Dumbledore immediately understood what Zhang Xiao meant, and he said happily:

"certainly."

The old man and the young man left a private space for Sirius to think, and slowly went down to the first floor. The escalator here finally stopped creaking and was replaced by a very solid thumping sound.

"Professor, what are you going to do with this pendant?"

"Zhang, your grandfather once told me that he could extract the fragments of Voldemort's soul - oh, it should be called 'po' - without damaging the original thing.

I think maybe we can wait until we find more and ask your grandfather to use that magical spell to keep these precious things. "

Grandpa has ever communicated with the principal like this?

This coincides with my own thinking. It would be a pity to destroy a few things belonging to the founder like this. I should keep them if I can.

But even grandpa probably wouldn't have thought that someone like Voldemort would be split seven times.

The elf head on the wall has been removed.

What remains is the 'Mad Portrait' of old Mrs Black.

"Oh, is it this portrait?" Dumbledore looked at the portrait carefully for a while, and used his wand to trace down the gap between the portrait and the wall with great interest:

"Excellent permanent sticking spell, but that's not why you can't take it off - look here."

Dumbledore suddenly tapped the wall with his wand. Zhang Xiao leaned over, frowned and looked at it for a while, and asked uncertainly:

"Professor, what is this?"

"Strong glue - made from the snot of a magical animal. The effect is very good. It can be called a universal glue. However, the production is limited and the price is expensive. It is very rare on the market."

Zhang Xiao:.

It was outrageous. He had tried to take off the portrait before, which almost made him doubt his life.

Even if it's a permanent sticking spell, why should it stop me? I even turned on all states!

So you were playing dirty? What appears to be a permanent sticking spell, but is actually super glue?

It's so firmly glued, it's probably the entire back of the portrait.

"This glue has a very good resistance to magic spells. Almost all methods can't defeat it, but there is one thing that has a miraculous effect - the saliva of that magical animal."

Dumbledore made a little gesture:

"It only takes a little bit to remove the entire glue, which is amazing."

All things are interdependent, that's normal.

Because this kind of magical animal is very rare, but Dumbledore happened to have some in stock in his office, and he decided to send some to Sirius when he returned to school.

"Professor, there is another thing I am very curious about."

Taking advantage of the opportunity now, Zhang Xiao suddenly remembered something:

"Can a time turner really go back in time?"

"Oh? Zhang, you already know the props the school has prepared for you?"

Dumbledore smiled, obviously in a good mood.

Props?

Zhang Xiao grasped this key word keenly. Generally speaking, anything that can reverse time can be regarded as a rare treasure even in high martial arts.

Now use props to describe the time converter.

In fact, he has always been very interested in time turners. Even though it has many limitations, if it operates well, this thing must be an artifact.

Apart from anything else, he just silently recited the answers to the questions I needed to know every day and wrote them down on a piece of white paper on the table in front of him.

In theory, you can really get the answer immediately.

No matter how you think about whether the time converter satisfies Novikov's self-consistency principle or is a so-called parallel intersection, there are a lot of bugs.

Many people even complained that this thing was too outrageous, and Aunt Luo completely destroyed it overnight.

The most important thing is that this thing is actually for little wizards!

This is also the point that makes Zhang Xiao suspicious the most, because as long as something is valuable, it will never be the turn of a little wizard, even an outstanding little wizard.

Dumbledore may be selfless, but others will not. This is the same whether it is placed in the wizarding world, the Taoist world, or even the ordinary world.

Because this is human nature.

It's like a supercomputer is completely given to an outstanding high school student.

Highlight an outrageous one.

The only reason why it can be handed over to the little wizard is that it has no imagined effect and has no value to the big shot.

"Zhang, we usually don't tell students these things, but if it's you, I think the conditions can be relaxed appropriately."

Dumbledore was delighted to find two chairs in the foyer. He waved and pulled the chairs over.

After thinking carefully for a while, he slowly said:

"First of all, we need to clarify a concept. Time is irreversible. Of course, I don't know if there is a great being in the entire universe who can reverse time.

But at least not wizards. "

So what happened to the time turner?

Zhang Xiao looked at him doubtfully and waited quietly for the next step.

"Ah, I thought of a wonderful metaphor." Dumbledore suddenly clapped his hands: "Although Professor Lockhart has brought us a lot of trouble.

But he also did good things. For example, it was Professor Lockhart's narration that got me interested in Muggle movies.

Let me tell you quietly, I watched a lot of movies during my free time this summer. I personally like Chaplin very much - oh, I'm a bit off topic.

Zhang, let us make a hypothesis. "

Dumbledore didn't know when he picked up his wand and waved it gently, and an old-fashioned hand-cranked player appeared in front of them.

It's the kind that's similar to a projector, using a light source to illuminate the film and reflect it on the wall.

Zhang Xiao also twisted his body to find a more comfortable position.

“Zhang, suppose our world is film and our life is watching movies.

The past is what you have seen, and the future is unknown.

We may be able to go back and watch the past life in some way, but it's just watching, you can't change the plot that has been played.

All we can change is the future.

Do you understand what I say? "

Understand! Of course I understand, Zhang Xiao has automatically brought what is in front of him to the past life to watch the drama. The website has settings that can only pull back but not fast forward.

What about the time turner?

"Zhang, do you know what a prophecy is?"

Dumbledore took off his eyes and looked directly at the young man in front of him who was frowning and thinking with his blue eyes.

He is different from others. He is always gentle and has a slight smile. It seems that everyone can get along with him.

Those brown eyes occasionally had a surprising sparkle.

When faced with a crisis, those raised eyebrows are like two long knives, as if they want to chop everything into pieces.

This is the most outstanding young man he has ever seen. Even in his long life, he may have seen many outstanding young people.

But no one can compare with this boy.

His perfect life is enviable and even enviable.

If there really is a so-called God, then God must be partial. He gave Zhang all the good things in the world.

The young man's eyebrows twitched, as if he wanted to understand something, and he also had questions:

"Perhaps the prophecy was a glimpse of a spoiler barrage - ah, no, a glimpse of the future script?"

Dumbledore ignored the strange things in front of him and nodded slightly:

"That's pretty much what it means. In fact, prophecy is when someone stands at this moment and occasionally sees a glimpse of the future.

So let’s talk about the time turner. "

Dumbledore raised a finger.

“To put it simply, the time turner doesn’t take you back in time, it just creates ‘another you’ simultaneously.

When you wear a time turner or use a time turner in the future, you are marked in this movie.

It will activate the 'other you' during the period of your 'use', the 'you' who has the memory of the period of your 'use'.

In fact, you and 'you' are living in sync.

When the 'use' is over, 'your' memory will merge with you, creating the illusion that you have returned to the past.

This is the time converter. "

Zhang Xiao was dumbfounded, feeling as if ten thousand horses were galloping across the grassland.

This is so fucking magical! Too idealistic!

Zhang Xiao was shocked.

1. Monthly ticket 2. Recommended ticket

I have been thinking about the time converter for several years, and I feel that it is full of bugs. I chose a setting that I think can explain most situations.

But there will definitely still be bugs, so we can only try to weaken the time converter as much as possible.
