Chapter 219: Showdown, no more pretense (3rd update)

There was once a wizard named Eloise Mintab, who was a silent person in the Department of Mysteries. She used a time-turner to go back to the past in an experiment, but died because the time exceeded a few hours.

In the experiment of returning to the past, Eloise was trapped in 1402 for five days.

When she finally returned to the present, her body age suddenly increased by five centuries for some reason, causing irreparable damage to her body, and eventually died of old age in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

Her travels changed the life trajectories of all the people she met in the past, and at least twenty-five descendants disappeared from the present and became "never born".

In addition, there are some worrying signs that the time in the past has also been disturbed. The Tuesday after she returned to the present lasted for two and a half days, and Thursday only lasted for four hours.

And even if the time-turner is used normally, the time itself will pass.

Just like Hermione has been using the time-turner to increase her study time so that she can study all subjects at the same time, which almost led to a collapse in the end.

On the surface, you have studied for eight hours, but in fact, you have studied for more than ten hours using the time converter. Your body has experienced more than ten hours and will be tired from studying for more than ten hours.

If you use it for a long time, others have one year, but you have two years, so your age has increased by one year more than others.

So if you use it for learning, it does improve efficiency, but it only overdraws future time in advance.

Because the time converter is too dangerous, the corresponding spell hour reversal spell for making the time converter has also been sealed by the Ministry of Magic and cannot be learned through normal channels.

All the time converters that have been made are sealed in the time hall of the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.

Because the time converter is special, the Ministry of Magic has formulated hundreds of laws around the time converter. Unless it is applied for under special circumstances, it will generally not be approved for use.

George is of course very excited about time magic and time converters, and time magic is also a magic he must learn.

Because time magic is one of the most advanced magics in any world.

Even if the time laws of different worlds are different, and even if you learn time magic, you cannot change the established facts, it is still very good to use it to improve learning efficiency.

Anyway, he has lived forever, so he doesn't care about overdrawing the future time in advance. His future time is infinite.

Of course, it is easy to apply for a time converter, but it is not so easy to learn and master the sealed hour reversal spell.

"It seems that it is time to show some real strength."

After separating from Professor McGonagall and Hermione on the eighth floor, George followed Snape to the principal's office.

In the office, Dumbledore was looking at a book about knitting skills published by Muggles.

"Sit down first."

Seeing Snape bring George in, he put down the book and motioned for the two to sit down first.

"Principal, the Ministry of Magic secretly let the Dementors search the train, and George was wrong to kill him by mistake."

Snape sat down and spoke first.

Students of his own college should protect themselves, especially George is his last disciple.

Regardless of whether Dumbledore wants to blame George or not, it is always right to make a few excuses first.

"It seems that entering Slytherin is a wise choice."

George sighed in his heart when he saw Snape's complete support for him as soon as he opened his mouth.

Of the four deans of the college, Snape may not be the most ethical teacher, the most fair and just, but he is definitely the most protective of his children.

This is also one of the reasons why he has not exposed that Scabbers is Pettigrew.

Sirius is innocent and righteous, but Sirius has nothing to do with him.

On the contrary, it is a fact that Sirius and Harry's father bullied Snape when they were in school.

Snape must have been wrong, and he probably said a lot of things he shouldn't have said.

But who made Snape his dean, and always supported him and took good care of him, so he naturally favored Snape.

So, he did not plan to clear Sirius's grievances early, so he let him suffer a little more, just to make Snape happy.

Let it go to the end, as long as he didn't let Pettigrew go and let Pettigrew help Voldemort resurrect.

"Severus, I don't mean to blame George. He did a good job in killing the Dementors to protect his classmates.

I just want to see the magic he used to kill the Dementors."

Dumbledore explained with a smile.

When he heard from Fudge that George killed a Dementor with magic, he was quite surprised.

Because even he couldn't kill a dark creature like Dementors directly.

Or in other words, at this stage in the wizarding world, there is no way to kill Dementors directly, not even the Killing Curse.

The Dementors and the Ministry of Magic are in a cooperative relationship. The Dementors help the Ministry of Magic guard Azkaban, and the Ministry of Magic allows the Dementors to suck the happiness of the prisoners in Azkaban openly.

As for why the Dementors dare not suck everywhere at will?

Because although wizards can't kill Dementors, they can use the Patronus Charm to drive them to a certain place and imprison them.

For example, a box made with the Traceless Extension Charm, plus some sealing spells.

In this way, the Dementors can only stay in the box until they gradually dissipate due to a long period of lack of food.

"I heard that this is a new magic you created yourself?"

At this time, Snape also turned his head to look at George. He was also curious.

Among all the students in Hogwarts, George was definitely a genius among geniuses. At the end of the first grade, he already had a magical knowledge reserve close to that of a seventh-grade wizard.

He was also very good at magic duels and created a special flying magic.

Even when he was in the fifth grade, he was not able to create his own new magic until he was in the fifth grade.

But to be honest, with his understanding of George's magic level, he was still very surprised that George could create new magic.

Because he felt that George's current level was not enough to support the creation of new magic.

However, magic creation is inherently accidental, and it is often due to luck, not entirely relying on strength.

"Actually. Not entirely."

George looked at Snape and Dumbledore, and after a few seconds of pause, he slowly replied.

He was ready to show his cards and stop pretending.

Originally, he was going to say that he created a new magic that could kill Dementors based on the Patronus Charm. Anyway, he had indeed learned the Patronus Charm from Amy and could show it immediately.

But after thinking about it carefully on the train, he felt that there were too many loopholes in saying it this way.

Given Dumbledore and Snape's intelligence and understanding of magic, they probably wouldn't believe it.
