Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 817 Time Exclusion

Albus Dumbledore, did he go back a hundred years ago...

Kyle's heart skipped a beat.

 He thought that Victor wanted to continue discussing alchemy with him, but he did not expect that this was what he wanted to say.

 But how did he know?

Kyle was certain that on the day Dumbledore left Godric's Hollow, they were the only two people present. Even Bathilda was upstairs and had no idea what was going on downstairs.

　　Not to mention that Professor Victor is far away in France, how on earth does he know this?

Kyle squeezed the wand in his hand tighter, but on the surface it was calm and calm, and his expression did not change at all, "You should ask Professor McGonagall how I could know Professor Dumbledore's itinerary. Woolen cloth?"

 “You don’t know?” Victor frowned.

"Of course I don't know, I just graduated." Kyle said, "And going back a hundred years ago is a bit exaggerated. The existing time turner cannot do this."

"It's not the current one, it's a time turner from a thousand years ago." Victor rubbed his forehead, "Strange, Nico clearly said that he gave that thing to you... Did I remember it wrong?"

 “Um, wait a minute…”

Kyle blinked, "Professor Victor, do you know about the time turner?"

"Of course I know. Albus came to me a long time ago and asked me to help repair something... that is the time turner."

Victor said, "The magic formula that made that thing work again was something Nico and I tried out together."

Hearing what he said, Kyle vaguely remembered that Dumbledore had indeed said before that he would invite the most famous alchemy master to repair the time turner.

 It seems that in addition to Nicolas Flamel, Professor Victor is also one of them.

Thinking of this, Kyle also breathed a sigh of relief.

 Being able to be invited by Dumbledore and told the truth, this professor should be trustworthy, but Kyle did not completely relax his vigilance.

“I don’t know what you just said.”

“Didn’t he come to you and ask for a time turner?” Professor Victor was stunned for a moment.

"No." Kyle shook his head and chose to continue hiding it.

The more people knew about Dumbledore's absence, the more likely it was that the matter would be exposed. In the current situation, Kyle did not dare to take risks, even if the other party's current identity was credible.

 He ​​didn't even tell Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Weasley that they had to be ranked higher in terms of trustworthiness.

In addition, this professor also looks a bit...well, how should I put it, except for alchemy, he is not very bright in other aspects, and there is a high possibility of letting things slip.

"Oh." Professor Victor nodded, "Well, I didn't expect him to persist until now. I made a bet with Nico before, guessing when he would go to Ariana."

"How do you say it?" Kyle's eyes lit up and he asked with interest.

“I guess less than half a year, but Nico thinks it will be longer, at least a year later.”

Professor Victor rubbed his forehead and said, "I have to admit that he knows Dumbledore better."

 “Then what’s your bet?” Kyle asked curiously.

 “Entrance to Paris Fashion Week.”

 “What?” Kyle rubbed his ears, thinking he heard wrongly.

"It's a Muggle activity." Victor thought Kyle didn't know, so he explained: "The relationship between the French Ministry of Magic and Muggle leaders is pretty good, and many people in the Ministry of Magic are my students. So every once in a while, I get some weird stuff.”

Victor moved his fingers, and a drawer next to him opened automatically. It was full of various small items, leaflets, souvenirs, etc., and the most numerous of them were tickets.

Kyle took a general look and saw that there were various types of tickets for football, fashion week, underwear shows, music festivals, racing...all types of tickets were available.

"I'm not interested in these and have never been there," Victor said, "but Nico likes them very much. He is very interested in everything about Muggles and always finds excuses to get tickets from me every day.

"Of course, even if there are no excuses, if he wants it, I will definitely give it to him."

Victor picked a few tickets from those tickets and handed the others to Kyle, "Take them if you like them."

 “Ah, no need.” Kyle waved his hand repeatedly.

If Connor saw some of the things in this, he would probably be transported back to England by an owl.

"Professor Victor." Kyle changed the subject: "Why did you think Professor Dumbledore went back to the past?"

"Because he hasn't appeared for a long time, and there is no news." Victor said, "Other than going back a hundred years ago, I can't think of any other reason why he disappeared for such a long time."

"But now it seems that I guessed wrong." He continued: "Maybe I have been busy writing new teaching materials recently and haven't paid much attention to his situation. You don't need to care, just pretend that I didn't say anything. "

 “But this way, I feel relieved.”

"Don't worry?" Kyle asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal." Victor said slowly: "Just a week ago, Nico noticed that the magic formula we used to drive the time converter was not perfect, and it might cause the user's time to change. confusion.

 “In other words, he came back, but he didn’t come back.”

“Can you tell me more specifically?” Kyle asked solemnly.

“It’s time repulsion.” Victor explained: “Under normal circumstances, if a person uses the time turner without making any mistakes, he will definitely be able to return to the correct timeline, which is the time he decides to go back to the past.

 When a person disappears, he also comes back from the past. This can achieve a perfect connection and ensure that this person can always exist in the current time. "

 “Then what do you mean by time exclusion just now?”

“It’s just that he can’t come back.” Victor didn’t seem to be good at explaining this kind of thing. He thought for a while before continuing:

“For example, if a person uses a time converter to return to 5 o’clock in the morning at eight o’clock in the morning, he will return to eight o’clock after three hours and complete the handover with himself.

“But if he is excluded by time, then his world will no longer have eight o’clock, but can only reach seven fifty-nine at most, or even earlier.”

 “If that’s the case, what will happen to that person?” Kyle asked nervously.

 “I don’t know.” Victor shook his head. "It may stop at seven fifty-nine, or it may go back to five o'clock again..."

"Of course, you don't have to worry about these." He waved his hand and said: "Fortunately, Nico found it early and Albus hasn't taken action yet. As long as you go to him and repair the magic text in the time turner, Coupled with the assistance of the magic stone, there will be no problem at all. "

 “He has gone back.” Kyle sighed.

"That's good...wait a minute, who did you say went back?"

"Professor Dumbledore." Kyle said with a wry smile: "He has already used the time turner."

 “Then you just said he didn’t…”

"Sorry." Kyle said, "We can remain calm now basically because the Death Eaters are afraid of Professor Dumbledore. If one less person knows something, there is less chance of being exposed."

The classroom fell into an oppressive silence.

"Okay, I can understand your thinking." Victor's voice was dry, "Unfortunately, I was just glad that Albus didn't use the time turner too early, but I didn't expect..."

 “Sorry,” Kyle said again.

"It doesn't matter, in fact you did a good job." Victor shook his head, "Concealing Albus's whereabouts is indeed the best choice for you."

"So Professor Dumbledore, is it true that he can't come back now?" Kyle asked.

 “When did he leave?”

"More than a month ago," Kyle said, "Have you heard about what happened in Godric's Hollow? He was the time turner used at that time."

"I haven't heard of it." Victor shook his head, "But if it's a month, I'm afraid he is really repelled by time."

 “Is Dumbledore in danger?”

"It's just a time loop. You may suffer a little, but you won't be in danger." Victor said, "With Albus's current strength, no one can hurt him in the past hundred years."

"That's good." Kyle felt a little relieved, but only a little.

Dumbledore is fine, but they are not. He can't pretend to be Dumbledore with Polyjuice Potion forever, and Voldemort doesn't have that much patience. One day, when he feels the time is right, he will take action against Hogwarts.

 What should they do when that time comes...

Polyjuice Potion can make him look like Dumbledore, but it can't give him Dumbledore's strength.

Kyle felt a sense of boredom in his heart.

"Is there any way to bring him back?" he asked tentatively.

  “Yes, and it’s very simple.”

Kyle raised his head suddenly. Victor's answer really surprised him.

"any solution."

"Let a person go back in time and bring him back." Victor said, "It's like a person who is running and unknowingly deviates from the original route. At this time, as long as someone goes over to remind him, or bring him back That’s it, isn’t it?”

Kyle didn't answer.

Is Victor right?

 In a sense, it must be right. It is really not that difficult to bring Dumbledore back. The difficulty lies in how the person who helps him get there can get there.

“We don’t have a second time turner that can go back a hundred years.” Kyle sat there slumped.

The time turner used by Dumbledore took a long time to repair. It would take even longer to make a new one. By the time that thing is made, Voldemort may have already captured Hogwarts with his Death Eaters. .

 The classroom fell into silence again.

“Hey, wait a minute.” At this moment, Victor seemed to suddenly think of something. He stood up quickly, first rummaged around on the table, and then walked to a mirror and said:

“Gaffar, I’ll give you three minutes and come to my office immediately.”

A few lines of words appeared in the mirror, and then disappeared in a ripple.

 …

Three minutes later, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

“Professor Victor.” The boy who had mocked Kyle before opened the door fearfully. He looked at Professor Victor and then at Kyle. He felt bad.

"I'm sorry, professor, I...I haven't finished copying it yet, please give me a little more time..."

"Put this aside for now." Victor looked at him seriously, "I ask you, did you take away the discarded items in the classroom this morning?"

"Yes, it's me." The boy looked even more frightened. "Professor, I just...want to see where everyone went wrong...other people also really did it..."

“Is there an envelope in there?” Victor asked again.

“An envelope?” Jafar hesitated, “I, I don’t know, I’ve been busy copying textbooks... I haven’t had time to read them yet.”

 “Then go find it!” Victor said solemnly.

Gaffar ran away as if he was running away.

 “Professor...what is that envelope?”

“We’ll talk about this later, keep quiet now.” Victor sat there, writing something quickly on a piece of parchment.

Although Kyle was curious, he didn't dare to disturb him at this time.

About five minutes later, Ghaffar came back out of breath, holding an envelope common to Owl Post Office in his hand.

"Professor...are you talking about...this?" After running back and forth three times, he gasped for air and put things on the table.

"Yes, that's it." Victor raised his head and glanced, "Take the professor's stuff without permission and copy it a hundred more times."

 Gaffar's face turned pale.

 “Professor…I, I didn’t mean it…”

“If you did it on purpose, it’s not as simple as just copying a book.”

Gaffar ran over in a hurry and left with heavy steps. If he was given another chance, he would never come to provoke the Englishman in the afternoon... No, he would not even come to the alchemy classroom.

 After he walked away, Victor closed the classroom again.

 He opened the envelope and said to himself at the same time: "Because I have to write new teaching materials, I haven't paid attention to the outside situation for a long time recently.

"But do you know why I suddenly noticed that Albus hasn't been around for a long time?"

“Because you have a good relationship?” Kyle replied in a low voice.

"No, our relationship is limited to academic exchanges, not very good." Victor shook his head, "The reason why I pay attention to him is because I received this."

 He opened the envelope and took out a... golden pocket watch.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 institutions

Kyle stood up suddenly, knocking over the chair behind him.

 “Time-turner!”

 Of course he knew what it was. He had it in his hands for a long time before giving it to Dumbledore a month ago.

This is the time-turner that Nicolémere repaired.

 It's just that it's broken again now, with cracks everywhere on the surface, and the originally dazzling golden color has become dull.

 “But...why is it here?” Kyle asked.

“I don’t understand this either.” Victor said, “When I received this thing, I thought it was from Nico and contacted him immediately.

"But he told me that the Time-Turner had been given to you, and that I was under the impression that it had been repaired.

“So I decided that this was a joke Nico played on me…”

"Don't look at me with that look." Victor explained: "He often does this. He takes apart some completed things and gives them to me again, and then reassembles them with completely different magic formulas. This is what we A little game between."

 “Small game?” Kyle twitched his lips.

Although magic formulas are ever-changing, it is almost impossible to use two completely different formulas to achieve the same effect.

“Don’t interrupt, just listen to what I have to say.” Victor said coldly, and Kyle immediately closed his mouth.

“But I had to write a textbook recently and didn’t have the time, so I threw it aside.

“I didn’t pay attention at the time, but now I think it must have been thrown into the students’ failed homework.”

 “Then he was picked up by that student?”

“That’s right, because alchemy materials are expensive, so they all have the habit of studying failed products, so as to avoid waste to the greatest extent.” Victor said.

“I had forgotten about it, but I didn’t remember it until I met you, and asked Olim about Albus during dinner.

“I felt something was wrong at that time, so I called you over.”

 Looking at his eyes, Kyle felt a little guilty.

“Fortunately, I asked more, this should be the original time turner.”

 “Yes.” Kyle nodded.

Fortunately, he asked one more question, otherwise if Victor continued to misunderstand and felt that Dumbledore had not gone back, then this thing would not be thrown to where it would be.

 If you want to find it by then, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy.

 …
