Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Before Dean could figure out what to do next, Dumbledore asked: "Dean, I think you have other plans?"

"No." Dean immediately denied it subconsciously: "Your arrangement is very appropriate. I completely agree."

"No, you must be thinking that everything has been finalized, and it is useless even if you object." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Dean laughed twice and didn't answer. In fact, he was actually complaining in his heart.

"Dean, I heard that you possess a magical time-space converter?" Dumbledore's sudden attack caught Dean off guard.

"How do you know?" After Dean blurted out, he realized that Dumbledore might be deceiving him.

Sure enough, Dumbledore smiled as expected: "Do you want to use it to change something?"

"No, I didn't. How could it be possible?" Dean denied it three times in a row. He was determined not to admit it.

"Actually, you can." Dumbledore changed the subject and almost broke Dean's waist.

Dean asked in disbelief: "Professor, if I understand correctly, are you suggesting that I should use a space-time converter?"

"I think there is a soul worth saving." Dumbledore looked at Dean with deep meaning.

"You wouldn't say it was Professor Quirrell, right?" Dean boldly guessed.

"I must admit that under your influence, Quirrell's soul has not been completely corrupted. It seems a bit too inhumane to let him be buried with Tom." Dumbledore said.

"Then why did you let me sleep for so long? You could have let me wake up before Quirrell broke through to save his soul." Dean didn't understand why Dumbledore would take this unnecessary step.

"Dean, I've already said that your performance exceeded my expectations. I can't bet on whether you will ruin my plan on impulse." Dumbledore rarely showed a tired look.

"But now you are not afraid that I will change history after using the time and space converter?"

"You won't, Dean. If you changed history, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me now, and our time and space would go in another unpredictable direction. Obviously you are very measured."

Dumbledore's answer is a bit confusing, but Dean's understanding is that Dumbledore first created the established history, and then asked Dean to go back and make some remedial corrections in order to achieve the desired effect.

"Professor, I am very grateful for your trust, but I must say that you are taking a gamble." Dean took out the time and space converter and said.

"Let me think about it, you only need to turn the hands back three days." Dumbledore chuckled. "At that time, I just received an urgent letter from the Ministry of Magic and left Hogwarts. You I have to ensure the safety of the entire school when I am not in school.”

Dean immediately understood Dumbledore's intention. He was going to add an insurance to the savior training plan, at the expense of allowing himself to go back to save Quirrell, and let the "Secret Walker" come forward to ensure the smooth implementation of the entire plan.

This seems to be a win-win strategy that benefits everyone.

Dean was certain that if he went back three days and disobeyed, Dumbledore would definitely have other plans.

Dean thought for a moment, and there seemed to be no reason to refuse. All he needed was to complete the rescue mission, and Dumbledore gave him exactly this opportunity. Although the method was not very comfortable, it must be admitted that Dumbledore had considered everything. .

"I understand what you mean." Dean nodded solemnly towards Dumbledore, "I accept your suggestion."

"That's great. So what are you waiting for?" Dumbledore said cheerfully.

……

After Dean disguised himself as the Mysterious Walker, he turned the pointer on the time-space converter. After a burst of strange light in front of his eyes, Dean found that he was still in front of the principal's office, and the sound of Dumbledore closing the door after he left could be heard in his ears.

"Who are you? Why did you appear suddenly?" Phineas immediately asked alertly.

"Phineas, you should reflect on the consequences of refusing Leonard Xiao's admission." Dean unceremoniously threw a bombshell, disrupting Phineas's thinking, and then walked out. to the principal's office.

At the corner of the corridor, Dumbledore's figure had just disappeared, but Dean ran in the opposite direction, rushing towards the curtain at the end of the corridor.

There was nothing unusual about the room where the Mirror of Erised was, and it seemed that Quirrell hadn't arrived yet.

Dean took out the Marauder's Map and found Quirrell wandering in front of the Room of Requirement.

"Could it be that Quirrell is leaving a mark for the Mysterious Walker?" Seeing that Quirrell had no intention of leaving, Dean couldn't help but feel worried.

The small room behind the curtain was not far from the Room of Requirement. Dean thought for a moment and decided to intercept Quirrell directly.

In front of the tapestry where the troll beat Barnabas silly, Quirrell had just left the mark for his appointment with the Mysterious Walker. When he turned around, he saw the elusive Mysterious Walker standing behind him.

"Mr. Mysterious Walker, you have finally appeared!" Quirrell almost burst into tears as if he had seen a savior.

Dean's sharp eyes discovered that there were several marks for appointments with him left under the tapestry. Unfortunately, he had been asleep during this period, so Quirrell's appointment naturally received no response.

"Let's go in and talk." Dean opened the door to the Room of Requirement and let Quirrell in.

Quirrell knelt down as soon as he entered: "Mr. Mysterious Walker, I made a big mistake!"

"What's going on?" Dean asked.

"After the master's soul left me, I thought there was no danger anymore, so I relaxed my vigilance." Quirrell said with sobs.

"You are too careless!" Dean shook his head, "You should have thought that he would not give up the Philosopher's Stone easily. The reason why I let you go temporarily is because you are too weak and cannot support him until he gets the Philosopher's Stone. As long as the time is right, He can re-possess you at any time."

"I know I was wrong." Quirrell said painfully. "During the days when I was not possessed by my master, my body recovered to a certain extent, which gave me the illusion that I could resist my master and use He can't possess me again..."

Dean gently shook the Mystic Walker's cane, and suddenly understood everything: "It's really stupid. He used the Soul Imperius Curse on you to make you have this illusion. The mark he left on your soul has always been There’s no erasure.”

"When I realized this, it was already too late." Quirrell's face showed an expression of pain, "Almost in one breath, the master regained control of me and did something unforgivable to the unicorn. I sucked the blood of a unicorn..."

"I warned you..."

"I know, but the master who regained control of me was much more powerful than before. Almost as soon as he possessed me, I lost control of my body and could only act as a spectator to what he did." Qi. Luo was almost driven crazy. He clearly remembered the warning from the Mysterious Walker that if he dared to suck the blood of the unicorn, he would not be able to be saved.
