I Have a Big Problem with My Hogwarts

Lynn frowned, thinking about what Dumbledore had just said.

"Then what if a professor or other little wizard sees two of the same little wizards in different classes when the Muggle Studies class and the Conservation of Magical Creatures class are together?"

Dumbledore looked at him solemnly.

"That's what you want to avoid. The time switch can take you to the past where you want to go, but it can't take you back. To get back to the point in time when you turned the switch, you just You must avoid all dangers by yourself, from the history you went back to has been hidden until this time to reappear."

"What if someone finds out that there are two me in the same timeline?" Lynn looked at Dumbledore heavily.

"That means the known history has been changed, and something terrible will happen to you." Dumbledore said calmly.

Lynn didn't hear any intimidation in his tone, he seemed to be stating a straightforward truth.

"What terrible thing?"

"No one knows what it is except those who have experienced it. I can only warn you Lynn, time can't be played with, because you can't tell whether you are playing with time or time is playing with you."

Lynn was silent for a long time, he was not frightened by Dumbledore's words, but was thinking about the known history.

"I can only go back to see who opened the secret room and let go of the basilisk, but I can't stop him, right?"

"This is what I also emphasized with you. The secret room was opened, and the basilisk was released. It has become a definite history. You, me, and the person who released the basilisk all know the history. , then this known history cannot be changed, if you see who let go of the basilisk you can remember his face, but you must not stop him."

Lynn looked at the jumping fire in the fireplace and mused.

"If, Professor, I mean if... the basilisk that disappeared from the Chamber of Secrets, what if I went back in time and killed it? And now, in Hogwarts, there is actually another me. Hiding in a hidden place, the me who came back from the future, waiting for the moment I use the time converter, he will appear to complete this time replacement."

The warm orange fire filled the entire principal's room, and Lynn's words brought a strange atmosphere here.

Dumbledore was silent for a few seconds, then said slowly: "Why isn't this possible? If you have been guarding in the secret room, no one has come in and done this thing until you first discovered the basilisk in the secret room was missing for a few hours. , then the person who opens the secret room and takes away the basilisk can only be you."

Lynn folded his hands and looked forward with lost eyes. He was thinking about whether the person who opened the secret room and took away the basilisk was himself. If it was himself, why did he do it? The basilisk was taken away again?

He couldn't think of an answer, an answer that could only come from his own experience.

The silence in the headmaster's room continued for a while, and then Dumbledore said with a sigh.

"Whatever the truth of the matter, we can't guess anything here right now, I'll find out tonight, and you're going through a three-week time-travel. Until then we'll talk Take it easy, you know where you came to the office to find me when I wasn't there?"

Lynn looked at Dumbledore's smiling eyes suspiciously, and shook his head blankly.

"What I'm doing is about you." He took out a piece of parchment from the drawer of his desk, "You're in third grade this year, Lynn, and third-year students are allowed to visit Hogsmeade on weekends. Relax, but we'll need your parent's signed off before that."

Lynn looked at Dumbledore in confusion. He had no parents now. Who else could he get this consent form to sign?

wrong! He does have a parent alive, and the only one!

He took the consent form from Dumbledore, looked at the name of the last signatory, and his hand holding the parchment trembled slightly.

Gellert Grindelwald

"You went to my uncle?" Lynn said in disbelief.

Dumbledore had some nostalgia in his eyes, he smiled and nodded: "Yes, I went to Austria some time ago, in addition to visiting him specifically, I also asked him for his opinion and asked him to help you in your The consent form was signed."

Looking at the unattractive, even a little ugly signature, Lynn stirred up waves that could not be calmed down for a long time.

He has only heard this name from others. Saints, Dumbledore, and the wizards of the Su kingdom all have high evaluations of his only relative, whether praised or degraded. He and his bloodline are similar, but this time is the closest between them.

Dumbledore made a special trip to Nurmengard and asked him to sign the consent form!

"He knows I'm at Hogwarts?" Lynn asked in a dry voice.

"Even if he never came out of there, there are very few things in this world that he doesn't know, he is a born prophet." Dumbledore said softly, "I talked to him a lot about you, he was just in Listen, he didn't say anything about you, but I can see he's happy with you."

Lynn silently looked at the consent form in his hand, and thanked Dumbledore: "Thank you Professor."

"Don't thank me, I just want to catch up with him, and he asked me to bring you a word."

Lynn looked up at Dumbledore, who looked directly into his eyes, conveying the words of the old man now imprisoned in Austria.

"The most deadly dangers are often the ones you ignore the most until they are exposed."

Lynn was stunned after hearing this. He pondered what his great-uncle said to him and what he was referring to.

Dumbledore didn't interrupt Lynn's thinking. After he waited quietly for ten minutes, Lynn shook his head. Maybe it was the wrong time. He didn't guess the meaning of the metaphor in this sentence.

"Professor, we can start now."

Dumbledore put the time-turner on the desk: "Are you ready?"

Lynn held the converter in his hand, and the cold hand relieved the slight tension in his heart.

"certainly."

"When are you going to go back?"

"Three weeks ago, on the day of the opening dinner."

"Turn the pointer on the time converter back, and the time will go back one hour after one turn. It is now 10:15 p.m. on September 21st. You need to go back to 7:00 p.m. on September 1st. Rewinding the time by 483 hours and 15 minutes means turning the hands back 483 times plus a quarter.”

Lynn held the converter and looked at Dumbledore: "Am I starting here now?"

"Yes, you start in the headmaster's room, and I will go out. When the time goes back, you can't have anyone else by your side." Dumbledore stood up from his chair, and finally solemnly told Lynn, "Be sure to Remember the current time, at 10:16 on September 21st, I will wait for you outside the principal's room, no matter what you have experienced in the past three weeks, you must return to the principal's room at this time."

Lynn took a deep breath and nodded calmly.

"Professor I'll be back."

Before walking out of the headmaster's room, Dumbledore left his last words of blessing: "Good luck, Lynn."

Lynn stood in the principal's room, holding the converter with his left hand, and the index finger of his right hand began to wave the pointer back slightly.

The moment the pointer was turning, a loud noise like a thunderstorm suddenly came from his ear!

Happy Lantern Festival!
