v2 Chapter 102： Enter the time loop again

The last time they entered the principal's office, when they were on a night tour in the restricted area on the fourth floor, a few of them were caught by Dumbledore to enforce the law.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and when he came back again, William actually had the illusion that things were right and wrong, and it seemed like a different world.

No way, that scene in the Quidditch match was really terrifying!

Under the basilisk's gaze, at least dozens of little wizards died.

One death is an extraordinary event, dozens of deaths in a row... Merlin, this is not a teaching accident, but an indiscriminate campus attack that shocked the magic world.

Free Britain, dead every day?

Sometimes, William felt that he was not traveling through the world of magic, but the world of Conan.

Or else there really is a Sherlock Holmes in this world.

If this matter is not resolved, the thousand-year-old school of Hogwarts is estimated to be destroyed!

People who do this kind of thing are too insane and inhumane. Don't let William catch them, or they'll have to kill him.

What puzzled William the most was that Harry actually died.

He didn't die on the field, but was carried out of the castle by Snape, showing an unhealthy golden color all over his body...

Wait...gold? William remembered that in the story described by Nicole, the boss swallowed the Philosopher's Stone and had the ability to turn a stone into gold...

Harry didn't swallow the Philosopher's Stone, did he?

Could it be that he went to the restricted area on the fourth floor? !

William raised his head, his eyes resting on the long table again.

On the table, there is a long sword. This is Dumbledore's sword to kill the basilisk, brought back to the office by William.

On the hilt of the long sword, a dazzling egg-sized ruby ​​is inlaid, and a row of characters is carved with ancient rune on the sword.

He had taught himself the ancient rune, and recognized the meaning of the typeface.

- Godric Gryffindor!

William touched the words on the sword with his hand, and he could feel a strange power inside.

"I advise you to be careful, William."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

William looked at the sorting hat on the shelf and asked, "What's wrong?"

The Sorting Hat grinned and said, "This is a cultural relic, Gryffindor's sword, if you break it, can you afford it?"

"You are not also a cultural relic, you are touched by everyone every year."

"So ah, how shiny I was a thousand years ago, and now I have patches all over my body." The Sorting Hat wasn't happy.

The funny tone of the hat made William feel better, he said calmly, "I won't break it, just in the morning, Dumbledore was holding this sword, sparks and lightning all the way, and killed the basilisk, not to mention Dora. It's windy."

"That's it," said the hat-sharing court with a smile, "then you can't even touch it."

"Gryffindor's sword is forged by goblins and has unusual characteristics."

"What characteristics?" William asked curiously.

"The biggest feature of this sword is that it can absorb things that can strengthen it." The Sorting Hat explained.

"Since Dumbledore stabbed the basilisk to death with the sword, the basilisk's venom has been soaked on the blade, and it will also absorb this venom.

If you are cut carefully, you will probably die soon. "

William raised his eyebrows, which was a remarkable feature.

"If you cast Avadasa Life on this sword, will this sword also absorb the characteristics of the Death Curse?"

"Well... I don't know, no one has ever been so boring." The Sorting Hat pouted.

"Then I'll try it sometime."

William said, and took out another bottle of medicine from his pocket.

"This is an antidote that has been brewed with the fruit of the big mouth flower.

In our first class of this semester, Professor Sprawl said that even many rare snake venoms and poisonous horns can be solved.

The basilisk is no exception, so even if I get cut, I won't be poisoned to death. "

"It looks like you did a good job." The Sorting Hat said happily, "So it's wise for me to assign you to Ravenclaw."

"How dare you talk about the branch!"

The Sorting Hat hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "William, did you steal the Big Mouth Flower?

I remember there was a time when school started, and Sprout said that a lot of herbs were missing from the greenhouse. "

"You can take medicine indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." William rolled his eyes: "Professor Sprout also asked me to prepare a potion to drive out the stingers, how could I do it?

The big mouth flower fruit is just a fair deal between me and her. "

William picked up the sword and asked again, "You just said, this is Gryffindor's sword?

I remember that in "A History of Hogwarts", Gryffindor's sword was lost during the Goblin Rebellion, right? "

"This is just to deceive those fairies, otherwise they will keep asking for Gryffindor's sword!" The Sorting Hat disdainfully said, "You know what those fairies are."

William nodded.

In Goblin's values, the legal owner of an item is always its maker, not the subsequent buyer.

The purchaser should return the original to the maker after death.

Raignac I was a goblin king in the time of Godric Gryffindor, and this sword was commissioned by Gryffindor.

The goblins all believed that this sword belonged to Legnac I, not Hogwarts, which was one of the important fuses that led to the goblin rebellion.

The Goblin Rebellion can be said to be an important chapter in the history of magic.

The rebellion lasted on and off for almost two centuries, beginning in 1612 near the village of Hogsmeade.

At that time, the goblins led the stormtroopers and used the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic, the president of the Wizarding Council, to stage a coup d'etat while holding a banquet in a beer hall in Hogsmeade.

Magical History - Beer Hall Riot!

That is, within those two hundred years, Gryffindor's sword was lost.

The Sorting Hat smiled proudly and said, "How could it be lost. This sword has been kept in the principal's office, and is said to be lost..."

William touched the sword and wanted to ask the Sorting Hat if it knew where Ravenclaw's crown was.

At this moment, the door of the principal's office was opened.

Dumbledore walked in tiredly, he sat down on the chair, crossed his hands, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Professor, how is the situation?" William asked hurriedly.

He was locked in the office for a day, and he didn't know what was going on outside.

"Very bad, forty-five students died." Dumbledore said sadly.

The portraits of the principals in the office immediately panicked, and many principals left the frame to confirm the news.

William was silent for a moment, then asked, "Where's Harry?"

"Harry was dead too, and Professor Snape found him in the restricted area on the fourth floor.

He should have swallowed the Philosopher's Stone during the battle with Voldemort. "

"Voldemort didn't leave? He stayed at Hogwarts after Quirrell died?" William asked in surprise.

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded heavily, "I expected this, but I didn't expect him to attract my attention by releasing the Basilisk!"

William asked again: "Why did Harry go to the penalty area, I remember he was watching the game?"

"It wasn't just Harry, Weasley and Hermione went too." Dumbledore stared at William, "but neither of them... died."

What else did William want to ask, Dumbledore waved his hand.

"William, I already know the general process of the whole thing, but I can't tell you... You know, is Ravenclaw's ring still there?"

William took the ring off his neckwhat should I do? Just take it like this? "

For the first time loop, William took it at random. He was not sure if taking it like this again would trigger the second loop.

If it can't be triggered, tomorrow will come on time, and everything today will be irreversible.

Dumbledore said seriously:

"I can only guess... the descendants of Ravenclaw, when they have a strong desire, wear a bronze ring, and they can enter the cycle until they have the ability to fulfill their desires."

William thought for a while: "So I need to catch Voldemort?"

Dumbledore shook his head and said solemnly, "William, Voldemort is in a very special state now, you can't catch him, this wish will never come true.

If there is such a thought, after wearing the ring, I am afraid that it will only be trapped in the loop forever...until death. "

William was horrified. He never thought that there was a possibility of being trapped in a time loop forever.

"Then what do I need to do?"

Dumbledore grabbed William's hand and looked into his eyes with blue pupils.

"William, investigate the whole incident and save all the students including Harry... You must do it, you are the only hope!"

William nodded lightly and undid the chain on the ring.

Dumbledore closed his eyes wearily, his voice echoing in the office.

"William, I also want to remind you that saving people is very important, but don't forget the greater goal."
