Chapter 817 Time Rejection

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

Kyle's heart skipped a beat.

He thought Victor wanted to continue discussing alchemy with him, but he didn't 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 ones 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 did he know.

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 schedule. 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?"

"Uh, 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 together."

Listening to 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 invited by Dumbledore and told the truth, the professor should be trustworthy, but Kyle did not completely let down his guard.

"I don't know what you just said."

"Didn't he come to you to ask for a time turner?" Professor Victor was stunned for a moment.

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

If one more person knew that Dumbledore was absent, the matter would be more likely to 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 doesn't seem to be very bright in other aspects, so there is a high possibility of letting him know.

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

"How do you say that?" 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, "I have to admit, he knows Dumbledore better."

"Then what's your bet?" Kyle asked curiously.

“Admission 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 popped open 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 without those 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 Kangna saw some of the things in this, he might 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 textbooks 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 explain it in detail?" Kyle asked solemnly.

"It's time repulsion." Victor explained: "Under normal circumstances, if the person using the time converter does not make any mistakes, he will definitely be able to return to the correct timeline, that is, the time he decided to return to in the past.

When a person disappears, he also comes back when he returns to the past, so that a perfect connection can be achieved, ensuring that this person can always exist in the current time."

"What do you mean by time repulsion?"

"It means 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 five in the morning at eight o'clock in the morning, then he will return to eight o'clock again after three hours and complete the handover with himself.

"But if he is repulsed by time, then there will be no eight o'clock in his world, and it can only be 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 7:59, or it may go back to 5 o'clock again..."

"Of course, you don't have to care about these." He waved his hand and said, "Fortunately, Nico discovered it early, and Albus has not taken action yet. As long as you go to him and slightly repair the magic runes in the time converter, and with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, there will be no problem at all."

"He has gone back." Kyle sighed.

"That's good... Wait, who did you say went back?"

"Professor Dumbledore." Kyle smiled bitterly: "He has used the time converter."

"Then you said he didn't..."

"Sorry." Kyle said, "We can remain calm now, basically because the Death Eaters are afraid of Professor Dumbledore. Some things are less likely to be exposed if one person knows it."

The classroom fell into a depressing silence.

"Okay, I can understand your thoughts. "Victor's voice was a little dry, "It's a pity, I was just feeling lucky that Albus didn't use the time turner too early, but I didn't expect..."

"Sorry." Kyle said again.

"It's okay, in fact you did a good job." Victor shook his head, "Hiding Albus's whereabouts is indeed the best choice for you."

"So Professor Dumbledore, is he really unable to 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 used the time turner at that time."

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

"Will Dumbledore be in danger?"

"It's just a time loop, he may suffer a little, but it's not dangerous." Victor said, "With Albus's current strength, no one can hurt him in the past hundred years."

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

Dumbledore is fine, but they may not be.

He can't always use the Polyjuice Potion to pretend to be Dumbledore, and Voldemort doesn't have that much patience. One day, when he thinks the time is right, he will attack Hogwarts.

When that time comes, what should they do...

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

Kyle just felt annoyed.

"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.

"What method."

"Let a person go back to the past 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, it will be very simple, isn't it. "

Kyle did not answer.

Is Victor right?

In a sense, it is definitely right. It is not difficult to bring Dumbledore back. The difficulty lies in how to get the person who can show him the way.

"We don't have another time converter that can go back a hundred years ago." Kyle sat there dejectedly.

It took a long time to repair the time converter that Dumbledore used. If he made another one, it would probably take even longer. By the time that thing was made, Voldemort would have led the Death Eaters to capture Hogwarts.

The classroom fell silent again.

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

"Jafar, I give you three minutes, come to my office immediately."

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

...

Three minutes later, a hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

"Professor Victor. "The boy who had mocked Kyle before pushed the door open fearfully. He looked at Professor Victor, then at Kyle, and felt terrible.

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

"Put this aside for now." Victor looked at him seriously, "Let me 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... and other people really did it..."

"Is there an envelope in there?" Victor asked again.

"Envelope?" Gaffar said hesitantly, "I, I don't know, I've been busy copying the textbook... I haven't had time to read it yet."

"Then go find it!" Victor said solemnly.

Jafar 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 and wrote 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, Jaafar came back panting, 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."

Jafar turned pale.

"Professor...I, I didn't mean to..."

"If you did it on purpose, it's not as simple as just copying a book."

Jafar 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: "Because I have to compile 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 hadn't been around for so long?"

"Because you have a good relationship?" Kyle replied quietly.

"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.

"Bangdang..."

Kyle stood up abruptly, 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 until he gave it to Dumbledore a month ago.

This is the time-turner that Nicolas Flamel repaired.

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

"But...why is it here?" Kyle asked.

“This is what I don’t understand,” 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 fixed.

"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."

"Little 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 have to write textbooks recently and don’t have the time, so I just threw it aside.

"I didn't pay attention at the time, but now I think it was probably thrown into the students' failed homework."

"Then he was picked up by that student?"

"That's right. Because alchemy materials are expensive, they all have the habit of studying failed products. This can 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 guilty.

"Fortunately, I asked a little more. This should be the original time turner."

"Yeah." Kyle nodded.

Fortunately, he asked more, otherwise if Victor continued to misunderstand and thought that Dumbledore had not gone back, then this thing would be thrown away.

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