Chapter 220： Time travel (thanks to Rudder Master Commoner_Europe)

Lynn frowned, thinking about what Dumbledore had just said.

"Then what if a professor or another little wizard sees two same little wizards in different classes when the Muggle study class and the magical animal protection class are together?"

Dumbledore looked at him solemnly.

"What you want to avoid is this situation. The time converter can take you to the past you want to go, but it can't bring you back. If you want to go back to the point in time when you turned the converter, you just You must avoid all dangers yourself, from the history you went back to hiding until this time it reappears."

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

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

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

"What terrible thing?"

"No one knows what it is except for those who have experienced it. I can only warn you Lynn that time cannot 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 surprised by Dumbledore's words, but was thinking about things in known history.

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

"This is what I also emphasized with you. The secret room was opened and the basilisk was released. This has become a certain history. You, me, and the person who released the basilisk knows 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 leaping fire in the fireplace, thoughtfully.

"If, Professor, I mean if... the basilisk that disappeared in the secret room now was killed by me who went back in time? And now, in Hogwarts, there is actually another me. Hidden in a secret place, the me who came back from the future, waiting for the moment I use the time converter now, he will appear to complete this time takeover."

The warm orange flame filled the principal's room, and Lynn's words brought a weird atmosphere to it.

Dumbledore was silent for a few seconds, and slowly said, "Why is this impossible? If you have been in the secret room, no one has come in and did this until the first few hours before you discovered the basilisk missing in the secret room. , Then the one who opened the secret room and took away the basilisk can only be you."

Lynn folded his hands and looked forward blankly. He was thinking whether the person who opened the secret room and took the basilisk was himself. If it was his own, then why did he do this? The basilisk was taken again?

He can't think of an answer, this answer can only be obtained by experiencing it personally.

The silence in the principal's room lasted for a while, and then Dumbledore sighed and said.

"Regardless of the truth of the matter, we can't guess what is going on here. I will know the result tonight, and you will have to go through a three-week time travel. Before that, we still talk about it. Relax, do you know that you came to the office to find me before I went there when I was away?"

Lynn looked at Dumbledore with a puzzled smile, and shook his head blankly.

"What I'm going to do is related to you." He took out a piece of parchment from the drawer of the desk. "You are in the third grade of Lynn this year, and the third grade students are allowed to go to Hogsmeade on weekends. Relax, but before that we still need to get your parent's consent to sign."

Lynn looked at Dumbledore in a puzzled way. He has no parents at all now. Who else can he call to sign if he takes out this consent form...

Not right! He does have a parent surviving, and he is the only one!

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

Gellert Grindelwald

"You went to find my...uncle?" Lynn said incredulously.

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 consulted his opinions and asked him to help you. The consent form was signed."

Lynn looked at the unsightly, and even a little ugly signature, causing a long-lasting wave in his heart.

He has only heard about this name. The saints, Dumbledore, and the wizards of the Soviet kingdom all have a very high evaluation of his only relative, either praise or derogation. Although the name is heard every day, he also knows He and his bloodline are close, but the closest between them is this time.

Dumbledore went to Newmondgard specially and asked him to sign the consent form!

"He...knows I'm at Hogwarts?" Lynn asked dryly.

"Even if he never came out there, there are few things in this world that he doesn't know. He is a natural prophet." Dumbledore said softly, "I talked to him a lot about you, he was just talking about Listen, although I haven't said anything to you, I can see that he is very satisfied with you."

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

"Don't thank me, I just want to talk to him about the past, and he asked me to bring you a word."

Lynn raised his head and looked at Dumbledore. Dumbledore looked at him directly, conveying the words of the old man who is now imprisoned in Austria.

"The deadliest danger is often the one you ignore the most before being exposed."

Lynn was stunned after listening. He pondered what his uncle said to him, thinking about 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 metaphorical meaning of this sentence.

"Professor, we can start now."

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

Lynn held the converter in his hand The cold touch eased the slight tension in his heart.

"certainly."

"When are you going back?"

"Three weeks ago, that is the day of the school dinner."

"Turn the pointer on the time converter back and forth, and the time will go back one hour after one turn. It is now 10:15 PM on September 21st, and you need to go back to 7 PM on September 1st. To rewind the time by 483 hours and 15 minutes is to turn the hands back 483 times and add a quarter of a turn."

Lynn held the converter and looked at Dumbledore: "Should I start here now?"

"Yes, you start in the principal's room. I will go out. When time goes backwards, there can be no other people by your side." Dumbledore got up from his chair, and finally solemnly told Lynn, "You must 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 these three weeks, you must return to the principal's room at this time."

Lynn took a deep breath and nodded calmly.

"Professor I will be back."

Before leaving the principal’s room, Dumbledore left his last 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 move the pointer back gently.

The moment the pointer was turning, there was a loud noise like thunder in his ear!
