Chapter 290: Do You Still Want It Now?
Two days later, in the early morning, Ivan was enjoying breakfast in the large exhibition hall, and to his confusion, the first elective was about to begin, but the time turner he had been thinking about had not been delivered to him.
It wasn't until after breakfast that Percy, the prefect of Gryffindor, suddenly came over and told Ivan with a strange look that Dumbledore had asked him to go to the Headmaster's office.
Ivan's brow furrowed slightly, what was Dumbledore looking for him at this time? Ivan suddenly had a hunch that getting the time turner might not be as easy as he thought.
With this in mind, Ivan got up and walked towards the headmaster's office, and after saying the command Percy had told him, he made his way up the spiral staircase into the headmaster's office.
The Headmaster's room looked the same as before, the circular room was very spacious, with a long table in the center with a few letters scattered around, and Dumbledore was sitting in a chair, flipping through one of them.
The portraits hanging on the wall saw Ivan come in, and they all looked at him and looked at him curiously, and Fawkes, who was resting on a branch and pretending to sleep, also opened his eyes.
"Good morning, Professor Dumbledore!" Ivan spoke politely, and then asked tentatively. "Is there something you're looking for me?"
Dumbledore's mind seemed to be on the letter, and it wasn't until Ivan opened his mouth that he noticed him coming in.
Dumbledore flipped the letter over and placed it on the table, then took a timetable from the side and flipped it over and placed it in front of Ivan's eyes.
"Minerva handed in your class schedule here last night, and I'm a little surprised, you seem to be planning to choose all the courses? Can you tell me why you're doing this? ”
"It doesn't hurt to take an extra course, does it? Besides, I think there must be a reason why Hogwarts has chosen to teach these courses! Ivan said eloquently.
Dumbledore's expression was a little helpless, "I'm glad to see that you're so keen on learning, but I want to remind you that everyone's time is limited, and many classes have conflicting schedules... I hope you learn how to choose! ”
"It's not something that can't be solved, is it? When Professor McGonagall asked us to take classes, she didn't tell me that I couldn't choose all of them. Ivan interrupted Dumbledore and continued very seriously.
"You can't stop a student's thirst for knowledge!"
Dumbledore was not speaking, his slender fingers slowly intertwined, and the blue eyes under the half-moon glasses looked at Ivan.
The latter did not back down, the time turner was something Ivan had to get this school year, it was the core of all plans, and he couldn't give up anything.
Ivan also understood that Dumbledore didn't seem to want to get his hands on it...
The two sides confronted each other for a while, and Ivan kept trying to maintain the Occlumency.
But Ivan didn't feel any traces of brain invasion halfway, I don't know if Dumbledore's level of dementorship was too high, he couldn't perceive it, or the other party didn't use dementoring...
Dumbledore was silent for a moment before speaking. "Of course, no principal would stop a student's pursuit of knowledge."
Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried that Dumbledore's strong refusal would give him no chance of getting the time-turner.
Immediately after that, Ivan saw Dumbledore open the drawer and take out a slender gold chain from inside, and under the chain, a glittering timer hung from it.
Ivan's gaze was immediately drawn to it, and he knew that it was what he had been longing for.
"What's that, Professor?" Ivan resisted his excitement and asked in a calm tone.
"A time turner, something that allows you to go back in time, or something that can witness the future!" Dumbledore said meaningfully.
"Powerful power, isn't it?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.
Ivan nodded, reversing time and space is an incomparably powerful ability no matter where it is.
He can even think of hundreds of ways to profit from the time turner, and he is invincible in battle.
If you calculate it properly, you can completely put countless of yourself at the same time node to create an Ivan Hals legion!
Of course, the most important thing for Ivan is that the time turner can take him back to a time when nothing happened, and then reverse the outcome of Althea's attack!
Perhaps sensing some of Ivan's thoughts, Dumbledore reminded. "But if you use it with the idea of changing the past, you won't get anything!"
The hope that ignited in Ivan's heart was like being poured a basin of cold water,
Dumbledore crossed his hands, his blue eyes fixed on Ivan, and continued.
"I hope you understand that the time turner's abilities are also limited, and extremely dangerous, otherwise the Ministry of Magic wouldn't have shelved it!"
"Of all the impressive stories I know, there are people who have tried to change the past..."
"That man managed to get a powerful time-turner, and went back to a year ago to try to stop something that had left him so sad - that his wife had died in a conflict!"
At this, Dumbledore paused.
"And then?" Ivan asked, frowning.
"Then the man managed to go back to the year before, waited at the place where his wife died, and waited for a drunkard who tried to follow his wife, and the two fought, and the drunkard, in his rage, cast a wide range of blasting magic..."
"His wife was killed like that, right?" Ivan guessed the follow-up.
Dumbledore nodded, and informed Ivan that the person had returned to the original point in time and told some people about it.
He regrets it immensely, and tells everyone that he will be fully prepared to use the time turner to go back a second time, even longer ago, and kill the drunk in advance!
"He failed the second time?" Ivan was very strange, as long as he had the first experience, it stands to reason that there should be no more problems.
"He's missing!" Dumbledore's answer was beyond Ivan's expectations, and he spoke without stopping, speaking at a very fast pace.
"But more than half a year later, his body was found in one place, along with a broken time switch. The man had been dead for almost two years when he was found, and no one knew what he had been through. ”
"Some speculate that he was looking for the drunkard and encountered someone who had been killed. Some people also suspect that after his second failure, he kept using the time converter, but failed again and again, and finally destroyed the time converter in a mental breakdown, and then committed suicide! ”
After saying that, Dumbledore looked at Ivan with a blank expression, and his blue eyes seemed to say.
Do you still want it now?
