Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 323 The four giants, a dialogue spanning a thousand years

Kyle took a tour of the secret room.

Not only did Riddle disappear, there were no traces left by the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse on the pillar on the left.

 Everything that happened before was like an extremely real dream.

 But the pain in his thigh and the diary in his hand clearly told Kyle...this was all true.

Kyle walked around and finally looked up at the statue of Slytherin.

Although I don’t know what happened, I’d better destroy the diary first...if the basilisk is still in it.

 “Talk to me…”

Kyle read the snake language, but the mouth of the statue did not open as before. Instead, the snake-shaped statues on the pillars moved.

They came alive... and swam down the pillar like real snakes, gathering around Kyle.

This familiar scene made Kyle feel bad.

 Confirmed, he was dreaming!

I guess it was because I was too gentle just now, so I didn’t wake up.

Kyle gritted his teeth and was about to pinch himself again...but a deep voice suddenly came from above the secret room.

 “Okay, what do you want to say.”

 “Who!” Kyle raised his head suddenly.

At the same time, with the sound of sound, the living snake statues began to connect with each other, and soon formed a huge circular arch.

A layer of water-like transparent drapery, like soap bubbles, gradually emerged and filled the arch.

After the curtain shook a few times, a middle-aged wizard wearing a green robe appeared.

He looked at Kyle and asked expressionlessly: "Didn't you just want to talk to me?"

 "You...I..." Kyle opened his mouth, but was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

 He thought of a name, but the idea was ridiculous.

"Salazar, I think you should be more proactive. The kid doesn't know what's going on."

At this time, a second person appeared in the arch, a fat witch... She looked exactly like the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff in the common room.

 “I must be dreaming!” Kyle muttered quietly.

"You didn't, I assure you." A wizard in a red cloak said with a smile. He was also the third person who appeared in the arch.

 Behind him followed a witch with a cold face.

 Four people, gathered.

It took Kyle a long time to calm down. He scratched his hair and said, "No, this is impossible..."

"I guess you must know who we are." The wizard in the cloak said with a smile.

 He also pushed the pointed hat on his head with his hand, as if to give Kyle a hint.

 “Yes…and I’m convincing myself of the unbelievable.”

Kyle looked at the four people in the arch, "In fact, from my understanding, you should have been from more than a thousand years ago...I mean, how could I possibly see you."

  “Because of time.”

Salazar Slytherin said calmly: "You awakened the basilisk, but failed to make it fall back to sleep. Because of the lack of a specific password, the basilisk instinctively destroyed the special time turner in the statue. "

 He took out a golden pocket watch from his pocket.

“There are two of them, one in the future and one in the past. If the future is damaged, then it will have some connection with the past.”

Kyle nodded in understanding.

What this probably means is that when he first summoned the basilisk, Salazar Slytherin a thousand years ago already knew about it.

Kyle has never even heard of this bizarre method, let alone seeing it.

 This is already a prediction of the future.

"But you...why didn't you show up at that time?" "Because he couldn't do it."

Gryffindor laughed loudly and said: "His move was originally to prevent me, fearing that I would stew his precious basilisk. Unexpectedly, by some strange combination of circumstances, he discovered you a thousand years later."

The time span is too long, and the connection between converters alone is simply not enough to support our direct dialogue with you...

 Unless you have also changed time to make yourself less "stable".

I think you must have been particularly obsessed with using the time turner during a certain period of time..."

Kyle said nothing.

  No wonder he always felt that something was wrong before, but now he has figured it all out.

He didn’t care about those certificates at all, but he chose twelve courses uncharacteristically... and applied for a time turner twice...

"It's you!" Kyle suddenly said: "Then those voices I heard back then..."

“It’s just a minor side effect,” Gryffindor said. “Salazar originally thought you wanted to use the basilisk to do something bad, so the method was a little rough.

But the main thing is Rowena. She wanted to see how far you could go, so she used a very interesting magic... let's call it a confusion spell. It used the stone statue in the castle as a medium to let you subconsciously hide the snake from other people. Strange things. "

 Rowena Ravenclaw glanced at him with an indifferent expression, but did not refute.

 For a moment, Kyle felt that his mind was extremely clear, and all the previous doubts were solved.

 No wonder he felt inexplicably hesitant every time he wanted to tell Dumbledore about the Basilisk. He didn't expect that it was also related to the Big Four.

After learning the truth, Kyle had a lot of questions to ask, but at this moment, the curtain suddenly flashed, and the appearance of the Big Four became much blurred.

"We don't have much time." Helga Hufflepuff stepped forward and pushed Gryffindor away.

"Listen to me kid, I know you have a lot of problems, but they don't matter anymore. What you need to do now is to find a way to get time back on the right track, otherwise you are likely to be trapped in a time loop forever. ."

 “Here’s a word of advice, boy,” said Gryffindor: “Never touch the Time-Turner, it will make you lose the protection of time.”

"As compensation, I will help you smooth out the impact of the time turner this time." Slytherin glanced at him lightly, "You can also take away the basilisk. The password to put it to sleep is... sleep forever and wait. Glory tomorrow.”

 “Your Occlumency is terrible.” Rowena Ravenclaw spoke for the first time.

Her voice was very calm, "This technique is not as simple as you think. Don't slack off. When you find yourself stalling, wear my crown."

As soon as Ravenclaw finished speaking, the scene in the arch turned into a thick mosaic, and then disappeared completely.

 The snakes that formed the arch crawled back onto the pillars, and the secret room became peaceful again.

Kyle stood there and let out a long breath.

 He actually met the four giants of Hogwarts a thousand years ago, and even talked to them face to face.

It's not scientific...but it's magic.

Kyle wanted to dwell on the bizarre experience just now, but he quickly thought of what Hufflepuff said.

 From what she meant, it seemed that she was not in the original time, and it was very likely that she would be trapped here forever.

Kyle did not hesitate and immediately ran out of the secret room.

There was no Professor McGonagall or Harry outside the secret room... Kyle ran all the way to the end and returned to the castle through the pipe.

There were voices and laughter echoing everywhere. In Kyle's impression, this kind of lively situation had not happened for a long time.

 He followed the corridor and soon found two students walking together.

"Hello." Kyle stepped forward and said hello.

"Oh, I know you, Kyle of Hufflepuff." One of them said with a smile: "Hello, I am Terry Butt of Ravenclaw."

“Sally-Anne Pokes,” said another. “We are both second years in Ravenclaw.”

“It’s an honor to meet you.” Kyle responded: “May I ask, where are you going now?”

“Of course we’re going to the Halloween dinner.”

The student from Terry Boot said, "I heard that Principal Dumbledore invited a skeleton dance troupe. This year's Halloween dinner will be very exciting!"
