Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Albus Dumbledore, has he gone back a hundred years?

Kyle's heart skipped a beat.

He thought Victor wanted to continue discussing alchemy with him, but he didn't expect that what he wanted to talk about was this matter.

But how did he know?

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

Not to mention that Professor Victor was far away in France, so how did he know?

Kyle clenched the wand in his hand more tightly, but on the surface he remained calm and his expression did not change. "You should ask Professor McGonagall about this. How can I know Professor Dumbledore's schedule?"

"You don't know?" Victor frowned.

"Of course I don't know. I just graduated." Kyle said, "And going back a hundred years, isn't that a bit too exaggerated? The existing time converter can't do that."

"It's not from now, it's a time converter from a thousand years ago." Victor rubbed his forehead, "Strange, Nico clearly said that he gave it 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 approached me a long time ago and asked me to help him repair something... the time-turner."

Victor said, "The magic formula that made that thing work again was discovered by Nico and I together."

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

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

Thinking of this, Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.

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

"I am not aware of what you just said."

"Didn't he come to you to ask for the time converter?" Professor Victor was stunned.

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

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

He hadn't even told Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Weasley that they were far more trustworthy.

Besides, this professor seemed a bit... well, how should I put it, it seemed that he was not very good at anything other than alchemy, so there was a high possibility that he might let something slip.

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

"What do you mean?" Kyle's eyes lit up and he asked with interest.

"I guess less than half a year, but Nico thinks it will take longer, at least a year."

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

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

“Entrance to Paris Fashion Week.”

"What?" Kyle rubbed his ears, thinking he had heard it wrong.

"It's a Muggle activity." Victor thought Kyle didn't know, so he explained, "The French Ministry of Magic has a good relationship with Muggle leaders, and many people in the Ministry of Magic are my students, so every once in a while, I always receive some strange things."

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

Kyle took a quick look and saw tickets for all kinds of things, including football, fashion week, lingerie shows, music festivals, car races...

"I'm not interested in these and have never been there," Victor said, "but Nico loves them. He's very interested in everything Muggle and he always finds excuses to get tickets from me.

"Of course, even without those excuses, if he wants it, I will definitely give it to him."

Victor picked a few tickets from the ones he had bought and handed the others to Kyle. "Take them if you like."

"Ah, no thanks." Kyle waved his hands.

If Connor saw some of these things, he would probably be shipped back to England by owl.

"Professor Victor." Kyle changed the subject and said, "Why did you feel that Professor Dumbledore had returned to the past?"

"Because he hasn't appeared for a long time, and there is no news." Victor said, "Except going back a hundred years, I can't think of any other reason that could make him disappear for such a long time."

"But now it seems that I guessed wrong." He continued: "Maybe I was busy writing new textbooks recently and didn't pay much attention to his situation. You don't have to worry about it. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"But now I feel relieved."

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

"Oh, it's nothing serious." 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 confusion in the user's time.

"In other words, he came back, but he didn't come back."

"Can you tell me more about it?" 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, which is the time he decided to return to in the past.

When a person disappears, he who has returned to the past also comes back, so that a perfect connection can be achieved, ensuring that this person can always exist in the present time. "

"So what do you mean by time repulsion?"

"He just 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 go back to five in the morning at eight in the morning, then he will return to eight in the morning three hours later and complete the handover with himself.

"But if he is excluded by time, then there will no longer be eight o'clock in his world. The best time is only seven fifty-nine, 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 might stop at 7:59, or it might go back to 5 o'clock..."

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

"He's gone back." Kyle sighed.

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

"Professor Dumbledore." Kyle smiled bitterly, "He has already used the Time Turner."

"So you just said he didn't..."

"I'm sorry." Kyle said, "We can remain calm now, basically because the Death Eaters are afraid of Professor Dumbledore. The fewer people who know something, the less likely it is to be exposed."

The classroom fell into a depressing silence.

"Okay, I understand your thoughts." Victor's voice was a little dry. "Unfortunately, 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 doesn't matter. 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, he really can't come back now?" Kyle asked.

"When did he leave?"

"Over a month ago," Kyle said, "Did you hear about what happened in Godric's Hollow? He was the one who used the Time-Turner during that time."

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

"Will Dumbledore be in danger?"

"It's just a time loop. It might be painful, but it won't be dangerous." Victor said, "With Albus' current strength, no one can hurt him in the next hundred years."

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

Dumbledore was fine, but the same could not be said for them.

He couldn't use the Polyjuice Potion to impersonate Dumbledore forever, and Voldemort didn't have that much patience. One day, when he felt the time was right, he would take action against Hogwarts.

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

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

Kyle just felt a little upset.

"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 caught him off guard.

"any solution."

"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, all we need is someone to remind him or bring him back. Isn't it simple?"

Kyle didn't answer.

Is Victor right?

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

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

The time-turner that Dumbledore used took a long time to repair. It would probably take even longer to make a new one. By the time that thing was made, Voldemort would probably have already led his Death Eaters to capture Hogwarts.

The classroom fell silent again.

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

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

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

……

Three minutes later, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.

"Professor Victor." The boy who had mocked Kyle before pushed the door open timidly. He looked at Professor Victor, then at Kyle, and he felt sick all over.

"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 made mistakes…others really did the same…”

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

"Envelope?" Jafar stammered. "I, I don't know. I was busy copying the textbook... I haven't had time to look at it yet."

"Then go find it!" Victor said in a deep voice.

Jafar ran away as if he was escaping.

"Professor...what's 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, Jafar came back panting, holding an envelope commonly seen in owl post offices.

"Professor...is this what you are talking about?" After running back and forth three times, he put the things on the table, breathing heavily.

"Yes, that's it." Victor looked up and took a look. "Take the professor's things without permission and copy them a hundred times."

Jafar turned pale.

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

"If you did it on purpose, it would be more than 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 write new teaching materials, I haven't paid attention to the outside world for a long time.

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

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

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

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

"Bangdang..."

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

"Time-Turner!"

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

This is the Time-Turner that Nicolas Flamel repaired.

But now it is broken again, with cracks all over the surface, and the originally dazzling gold color has become dull.

"But...how come it's here?" Kyle asked.

"This is something I don't understand either," Victor said. "When I received this thing, I thought it was from Nico, so I contacted him right away.

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

"So I concluded that this was a joke Nico played on me..."

"Don't look at me like that." Victor explained, "He often does this. He takes something he has already completed and gives it to me, then reassembles it using a completely different magic formula. This is a little game between us."

"Mini game?" Kyle curled 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 me." Victor said coldly, and Kyle immediately shut up.

“But I had to compile teaching materials recently and didn’t have the time, so I just threw it aside.

"I didn't notice it at the time, but now I think it was thrown into the students' failed assignments."

"And then it was picked up by that student?"

"That's right. Since alchemical materials are expensive, they all have the habit of researching failed products to avoid waste to the greatest extent." Victor said.

"I had forgotten all about it until I met you, and I asked Olympe about Albus at dinner.

"I felt something was wrong at the time, so I called you over."

Looking at his gaze, Kyle felt a little guilty.

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

"Yeah." Kyle nodded.

Fortunately, he asked one more question, otherwise if Victor continued to misunderstand and thought that Dumbledore had not returned, then who knows where this thing would be thrown.

If you want to find it then, it may not be that easy.
