Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

“This is the day when wizards celebrate in the streets of Britain.” Daily Prophet Halloween special.

"Minister Millicent Bagno, we are investigators from the International Confederation of Wizards stationed in the UK." The two wizards showed their credentials to Minister Bagno in the Ministry of Magic. "Today there were a large number of violations of the international confidentiality laws in the UK. incident, you need to explain the situation to the International Federation of Wizards."

"Oh, of course, that's what I'm planning to do." Bagno glanced at their IDs, then nodded, "Please follow me, I'm going to address all the wizards in Britain now."

The two investigators looked at each other, and then the older one nodded, "Okay, Secretary Bagno."

They walked to the square at the entrance of the Magic Department. There were already many people waiting there. The surroundings were covered with spells to prevent Muggles from approaching, so they could gather in the square with confidence.

Bagnot walked to the steps. She looked at the people at the bottom of the steps and cast an amplifying spell on herself.

"Now, I have something to announce about this Wizarding War."

Everyone fell silent and turned to look at Bagno on the steps.

"First of all, on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, I declare that Death Eaters will be classified as the most dangerous criminals. I authorize the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to use all means to arrest them..."

The speech lasted for a long time, making everyone in the square feel sleepy. The young investigator couldn't help it anymore, "Minister. You haven't explained your violation of the International Secrecy Law to the International Confederation of Wizards until now."

Bagno looked back, smiled and said, "I was about to say that."

She turned to look at the wizards in the square, who were also curious about the Ministry of Magic's official view on their celebrations.

Bagno exclaimed: "As for the celebrations during the Halloween season, all I can say is that I firmly defend everyone's right to have a good time."

The wizards in the square cheered and celebrated.

Bagno turned back to look at the two investigators, "I will personally explain the whole story to the International Federation of Wizards later. I think you two can go back and convey my words to the Federation now."

The two of them looked at each other, but they had no choice but to give up on the matter and wait for the officials above to argue.

"Stephen, look at this." In the Ravenclaw common room, Rowan spread a copy of the Daily Prophet on the table.

Stephen leaned over and took a look. It read that Frank Longbottom and his wife were attacked by four Death Eaters while celebrating last night. They tortured them with the Cruciatus Curse and caused both of them to go insane.

"How could this happen?" Stephen looked at the message above in shock. He was a little confused. He had obviously warned Dumbledore.

"Stephen, what's wrong?" Rowan looked curiously at Stephen, who was staring at the newspaper motionless.

"No, it's nothing." Stephen came back to his senses, "I have to go out."

"Okay." Rowan didn't pay too much attention and continued to read the newspaper.

As Stephen walked out of the common room, he had to think about what had happened.

He walked alone in the corridor, and the light of the setting sun shone into the corridor. He walked to a window and looked out the window at the students who were preparing to set off fireworks at night.

"If Dumbledore went to check on the Longbottom family and warned them, why did they still go out?" Stephen found it strange. It stands to reason that the Longbottom family would not take risks easily at this time.

"Unless they are collectively dizzy and think that the mysterious man's disappearance means they are safe." The sunset outside the window slowly set, and the students on the lawn were ready to start lighting fireworks to celebrate the first Halloween after the Wizarding War.

Stephen left the corridor, but not long before he saw Fox.

"Fox" Stephen looked at the phoenix in front of him, "Did Principal Dumbledore ask you to come?"

Fox nodded slightly, then put his paws on Stephen's shoulders, and twisted his body to arrive at the principal's office.

"There is coffee on the table." Dumbledore looked at Stephen with a smile, and gestured to the cup on the table with his hand.

"Thank you, Headmaster." Dumbledore was obviously prepared, even the chair was ready.

Stephen walked to the desk, picked up the coffee, and sat on the chair.

"I guess you're curious as to why I called you here today."

"Yes, Principal." Stephen nodded.

"I received a letter last night." Dumbledore had a kind smile in his eyes, but Stephen just looked at each other and put his eyes on the coffee in his hand.

"So you called me here to tell me the contents of the letter."

"No, of course not." Dumbledore waved his hand, picked up a pile of cockroaches and put it into his mouth. Stephen felt that no matter how many times he had seen it, this scene was very impactful.

"I called you here just to confirm one thing, and now it's certain."

"What's the matter?" Stephen felt strange, even though he hadn't started talking about anything yet.

"A very important thing." Dumbledore smiled, looking into Stephen's eyes, "about you, about the Longbottom family, and about Harry Potter."

"The Boy Who Lived"

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded, "I remember you mentioned him last time."

Stephen thought of what he had let slip last time, and he felt that it was better not to act stupid on this matter, "It seems like this."

"This letter was also written by you." Dumbledore still smiled, his tone full of kindness, as if he had always been like that.

"Yes." Stephen nodded.

Dumbledore got the answer, and he nodded, "I don't know how you knew it. I don't think I need to ask about it. Some things are destined to happen. I think you just changed it. The way it happens."

"Form" Stephen was a little puzzled.

"Time turner." Dumbledore looked at Stephen's chest, "But the one you have seems a little unusual."

Stephen took out his pocket watch from the lining of his robe, "Is this it?"

"Yes." Dumbledore stood up and walked to Stephen, but he did not pick up the pocket watch, but just glanced at it. Then he walked back to his seat and sat with his hands on the desk.

"When I first started school, I felt a special magic about you. I think it was the pocket watch in your hand."

"So you think it's a time-turner"

Dumbledore didn't care that Stephen knew about the time turner. He shook his head slightly, "Maybe not, because it doesn't have the same ability as other time turners."

Stephen looked at the pocket watch in his hand. What Jacob left for him was always full of mystery.

"I think it may be an item used to correct time." Dumbledore thought for a moment and said, "An alchemical item with powerful magic."
