"I accidentally broke it, Professor Dumbledore won't expel me for it, will he?" Hearing that even Ivan couldn't think of a way, Hermione was completely devastated.

Hermione was about to cry at the thought that she would have to pay a large sum of gold Galleons to the Ministry of Magic after she was expelled, and maybe even Professor McGonagall, who would vouch for her...

"Don't worry, it won't!" Ivan hurriedly comforted him, and then spoke again.

"Besides, if they want to punish me, they will punish me! This has nothing to do with you... You're trying to help me overuse the time converter, and I'll explain it to them when the time comes! ”

Now that he knew that the time turner was broken due to the system, Ivan certainly wouldn't let Hermione, the unwitting little witch, take on the responsibility.

However, Hermione didn't appreciate it, and glared at Ivan angrily, she felt that since the time turner was broken in her own hands, she was very responsible!

Soon, Hermione's anger turned into worry again, and she pursed her lips and asked in a fearful voice. "We've broken something so important, we're not going to be caught in Azkaban by the Ministry of Magic, are we?"

"How is that possible?" Ivan shook his head, pretending to be relaxed and continued.

"It's a big deal to compensate some gold Galleons, and you don't know that I earned thousands of Galleons from Lockhart last year, which should be enough to pay out!"

"And I'm a Merlin Medalist, and I'm a minor wizard, so the Ministry of Magic won't do anything to us."

Having said that, Ivan has no bottom in his heart.

You must know that the method of making the time turner seems to have been lost, which means that each time turner is extremely precious, and he doesn't know how much it is worth if there is one less bad one, and he doesn't know if the gold galleons he saved are enough...

However, the Ministry of Magic could not have captured two underage wizards in Azkaban for a time turner, and Ivan was able to confirm this.

"Anyway, let's go to the Headmaster's office now and ask Professor Dumbledore." Ivan said helplessly.

If he could, Ivan didn't want to meet Dumbledore, after all, he had a lot of secrets, and there was always some uneasiness in meeting this master of Soul Extraction.

But the time turner thing can't be left alone, they still have classes to go to tomorrow.

If they miss several classes in a row, there will definitely be professors who will report their absences to Dumbledore, so they can't hide it at all, and it's better to honestly admit their mistakes.

In that case, maybe his confession of mistake was sincere, and Dumbledore would not be held accountable?

Of course, Hermione has no opinion, and looking for Professor Dumbledore can be said to be the only option now!

On the way to the headmaster's office, Ivan did not forget to tell Hermione that when the time came, he remembered to bite her death and said that it was because the two of them loved learning too much, so they used the time turner too often, which eventually caused the time turner to be damaged.

After all, using a time turner to go back in time is not a trivial matter, and he will definitely be held accountable by the Ministry of Magic and interrogated about what he did in the past.

Maybe the people at the Ministry of Magic will think of the attack on the Burginbock store, conduct an in-depth investigation, and then fire him or arrest him in Azkaban...

"But when we say that, will the people of the Ministry of Magic really believe it? What if they use a truth teller on us? Hermione was skeptical, and said she loved learning too much.... She couldn't say it anyway.

"Don't worry, the Ministry of Magic won't use truth spitting potions, and we're not criminals, well... In fact, even if they are prisoners, they will not use it easily! So if we show something better than our peers, we can convince them to believe it! Ivan explained.

In fact, Ivan has always found some of the practices of the Ministry of Magic fascinating, such as the fact that the Truth Potion is a complete weapon of interrogation, but the Ministry of Magic rarely uses it.

Just like in the last Wizarding War, when a large number of Death Eaters only had to insist that they were controlled by the Imperius Curse, the Ministry of Magic had no intention of using Truth Potion from beginning to end.

The same was true when Voldemort returned, a few drops of the Truth Elixir could tell if what Harry said was true, and Fudge and the Ministry of Magic just didn't need it!

Although there may be some political factors in this, such as the fact that many of the Death Eaters who escaped sanctions were illustrious, and the pure-blood wizards who were imprisoned were die-hard loyalists who died on their own.

Another example is that Fudge wants to pretend to be an ostrich to whitewash the peace, and he doesn't want to believe the fact that Voldemort has returned, but it is still obvious that the truth potion cannot be used at will.

Since he didn't have to drink the truth potion, Ivan certainly didn't worry about his words being exposed, the method of making the time converter had been lost for hundreds of years, and no one in the Ministry of Magic should be able to see how the time converter was used before it was damaged.

With his sixth-level alchemy level, he could only roughly judge that this time turner was damaged due to overuse, and how it was used excessively could not be detected at all, let alone those in the Ministry of Magic...

On the way to the principal's office, Ivan and Hermione colluded in a confession, and by the time they reached the door, he had made up the lie perfectly.

Considering that Hermione was not good at lying, Ivan told her not to speak casually after entering, and the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore left it to him to deal with.

After making all preparations, when they arrived in front of the principal's office, the two of them were dumbfounded, stunned in front of the huge stone beast guarding the gate.

"It's over, we haven't had time to ask what the password is for the principal's office?" Ivan patted his head, he tried to make up a reason, but forgot to ask a professor about the password.

"Zizi honey candy?"

"Toffee's finger cake?"

"Cockroach pile?"

......

Ivan tried at the huge stone beasts one by one, and when it came to the cockroach pile, the stone beasts shook violently, and slowly spun upwards with a dull sound, and finally revealed the staircase hidden behind it.

"Ivan, how did you guess?" Hermione looked at Ivan in surprise.

"I've been to the Headmaster's office a few times before, and I've noticed that Professor Dumbledore usually uses some of his favorite sweets and drinks as a password, so I gave it a try, and it seems that my luck is good!" Ivan explained with a smile, and strode in.

Hermione suddenly realized, and then she was a little annoyed, how could she not think of this before...
