Chapter 366 "Voice"

The world will hear it... Sean subconsciously shut his mouth.

He had just asked a question about Grindelwald's age, but Dumbledore said that the world would hear it...

And Sean immediately remembered that when the whole world changed, it was when he discovered that Grindelwald's age was wrong - and Grindelwald himself also discovered this!

The most important thing is that Grindelwald himself doesn't seem to know this...

Sean had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and in the end he could only look at Dumbledore, hoping that the other party could give him an answer.

"Sean," Dumbledore began, "you should know Eloise Mintab?"

Sean nodded, of course he knew Héloïse Mintab, the silent person who went back five centuries.

Dumbledore continued: "I think you should also know..." He gestured and pointed to a decorative hourglass in the office.

"Time-" Sean was about to speak in confusion, but immediately paused.

"can not say?"

Dumbledore nodded: "The world is very sensitive now. It is best not to mention this key prop and your teacher."

As he spoke, he picked up the hourglass: "When you use the hourglass to go back, normally, you have to stay in that past until now. In this case, you can usually go back for up to five hours, as long as you don't do anything extraordinary. , after five hours, this trip will be considered a perfect one."

Sean heard the meaning of his words, frowned and said: "Eloise Mintab, she obviously cannot survive for five centuries. Although in subsequent examinations by the Ministry of Magic, her body has recovered after returning to the present. She is as old as after five centuries, but she did come back after staying for five days. This means that if you go back to...well, a very distant past, besides spending time, there is a way to come back, right?"

Dumbledore nodded: "Yes, magic. With special magic and a little luck, you can come back. However, the traces of time cannot be erased..."

Just when Dumbledore finished saying these words, the whole world shook again, as if a sleeping dragon was about to wake up.

However, Dumbledore just smiled helplessly: "You see, he is so sensitive."

"Because...there are traces that cannot be erased?" Sean asked hesitantly.

"Yes," Dumbledore looked into the distance meaningfully, "the traces cannot be erased."

Sean was lost in thought. Now, it is obvious that Grindelwald has definitely gone back to the past, and judging from the performance of the age test ball, he has not returned to the present after going back to the past...

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the world is so sensitive.

Dumbledore seemed to have guessed what Sean was thinking. He smiled slightly: "The world has been listening to everyone's voices from the soul, but it is only listening..."

He turned to look at Sean: "I know you must have accumulated a lot of doubts now, but I'm sorry, I can't answer your questions..."

After hearing Dumbledore's words, Sean fell silent.

He raised his head slightly and saw the dozen pensieves in front of him and the huge silver catkins floating above.

A huge memory, the kind of memory that requires a dozen pensieves to decipher—this kind of memory may very well be a person's entire life.

Sean had seen such a sentence in the manuscript of the pensieve maker master - this individual personally erased the path he had taken in this world in order to make the world forget his existence.

Dumbledore has obviously been interpreting these memories...Grindelwald is obviously confused about his situation...

Sean raised his head suddenly and looked at that huge memory in shock.

"Is this...is this his? Professor?"

Dumbledore said nothing, but his silence said it all.

Sean turned his head, licked his dry lips, and asked tentatively: "So, Professor, it's not just because of an unbreakable vow, but also because of this memory, right?"

Dumbledore remained silent, but the world answered for him.

Just when Sean mentioned "this memory", that heart palpitating feeling flashed past again.

An extremely bold guess popped up in Sean's mind!

However, before he could think further, Dumbledore spoke first: "Sean, I know that you have always been very smart - I have hesitated for a long time whether to, um, let you discover something."

"However, this decision still has to be made by you... Do you remember what I told you about some of the key points of the prophecy? I told you at the time that the more people who know, the more likely the prophecy will come true, and people like me will A kind of wizard - although it is not modest to say this, a powerful wizard like me is more deeply entangled with the world, so my will and my thoughts will affect whether the prophecy occurs or not to a certain extent."

"And now, regarding the time -" the world shook again, Dumbledore waited for a while and then continued, "the same reason is true."

Sean was stunned for a moment and reacted immediately.

Therefore, Dumbledore will be so cautious. The time disturbance of the world, like the prophecy, will be more affected by the more powerful wizard, and his "voice" will be greater.

Therefore, even if Dumbledore knew the truth, he could not reveal it, because once he revealed it, the world would suddenly hear a huge noise.

But now, Dumbledore is letting me decide...

Because... I have [arrogance] in my body, so essentially, I also have a huge "voice" in this world. In other words, if I follow Dumbledore's guidance and find out the truth of the whole thing myself, the world will be disturbed.

After thinking about all this, Sean looked up at the other party, considered for a while and said: "The more truths I see, the greater the movement in the world, right?"

Dumbledore said nothing, but showed an appreciative smile in his eyes.

Sean thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "If you come to me, it proves that maybe only I can do this...Then I want to know what will happen if I find what you want me to find. What kind of impact?”

Dumbledore's tone also became serious, and he said solemnly: "It will have an impact, but it will be within an acceptable range."

"Then what will be the impact if I don't do it?" Sean continued to ask.

Dumbledore shook his head: "I can't give you an accurate answer. Maybe it won't have any impact, or maybe the key to the whole thing will fall on you."

"If possible, I don't want to leave this matter to you. It's not that I don't trust you, but I think you shouldn't bear too much. This is a problem that old men should solve."

Sean raised his eyebrows: "Professor, if you say that, I really don't care."

Dumbledore suddenly laughed: "Sean, you really haven't changed at all..."

Sean glanced at his mouth. Old men just like to say weird things.

He moved his body for a moment, and then sighed helplessly: "You shouldn't make that unbreakable vow... Actually, I guessed it when you just said it."

"Héloïse Mintab, my first stop should be the Department of Mysteries?"

Sean adjusted his collar.

Dumbledore showed a rather amazed look: "Sometimes, I am amazed at your sensitivity, Sean."

"That's because dealing with you requires too many brain cells, so it's become a habit, Professor." Sean shrugged.

"What you said really makes me a little ashamed, kid." Dumbledore looked helpless.

"Then why don't you tell me about your arrangements? You won't let me just rush into the Ministry of Magic, right?" Sean spread his hands, "After the teacher was elected as the chairman, the British Ministry of Magic showed some dissatisfaction. What do you mean - the interior has been infiltrated by that group of people, both human and ghost?"

Dumbledore smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying, but just said: "All wizards will feel the changes in the world just now..."

Sean understood immediately.

The wizards are busy investigating this big movement, whether it is the official organization on the surface or the returnees hiding in the shadows.

Therefore, now is the best opportunity to fish in troubled waters...

However, after noticing this unusual movement, people from the Ministry of Magic should also go to the Department of Mysteries to check relevant information, right?

Sean glanced at Dumbledore, who looked like he didn't have to worry.

He shrugged, and finally decided not to ask more questions and trust the other person.

Sean took one last look at the huge memory floating above the pensieve, and walked towards the spiral staircase that had returned to normal.

He walked down the stairs and paused, then looked back at Dumbledore and asked, "Professor, are you two really broken up?"

Dumbledore's eyes flickered for a moment, and finally he showed an incomprehensible... smile, probably a smile...

"The traces will tell you the answer."

Sean knew that Dumbledore couldn't say it even if he wanted to, so he finally shrugged and left the principal's office.

After Sean left, Dumbledore turned to look at his memory and sighed inaudibly.

On the wall, a portrait of the principal said: "Albus, I have said before that sometimes you should not just think about doing everything by yourself. This change was an accident."

Dumbledore took off his glasses and wiped them, without showing any frustration or disappointment.

"It's the biggest surprise that I can stand here... If it wasn't out of plan, if it wasn't caught off guard, it wouldn't be called an accident..."

The principals looked at each other, and someone sighed and said, "I even thought something big was going to happen today."

Dumbledore smiled and put on his glasses, his wise eyes radiating through the lenses: "His thoughts are very out-of-the-box... but he always knows the priorities... Especially, this was originally done by himself... He doesn't You won’t realize it.”

"Then what happens next? Even if the child can discover the truth of the matter, can he find a solution?"

Dumbledore said solemnly: "It already makes me feel very ashamed to ask him to do these things... Don't forget, he is only in the third year."

The third grade sentence made everyone dumbfounded. Finally, Phineas muttered: "It won't be the case soon..."

…

When Sean walked out of the principal's office and came to the corridor, he immediately looked out the window. The night sky that seemed to have been suppressed before had returned to normal.

However, the castle did not fall into slumber as before. There were lights everywhere, and every little wizard felt something was wrong.

"What a big trouble..." Sean muttered.

He turned his head and saw a petite body standing there in the shadow of the curtain.

"Are you waiting for me?" Sean said to Stephanie.

The girl nodded and said quickly: "This information may be useful to you... When the abnormalities appeared today, Professor Dumbledore found me immediately. He seemed to know that you and I both have permission to the Room of Requirement, and then proposed Let me take him to meet your request.”

"In my opinion, Professor Dumbledore didn't seem to have expected it, and he was in a hurry when he found me. But -" Stephanie pursed her lips, "On the way, he told me that he hoped I don’t want to hold a grudge against Mr. Grindelwald…”

As soon as he heard the name Grindelwald, Sean subconsciously looked at the night sky. Fortunately, the world did not react this time.

It seems that Stephanie knows very little about the whole thing, so even mentioning key players will not be heard by the world.

He looked at the expressionless girl, shrugged and said, "Did you notice it in the first place?"

Stephanie nodded: "I only told him, so..."

Sean sighed and then spread his hands: "I said this, my teacher, he is such a person, he can sacrifice everyone, including himself, for a goal. I don't think he is right, but it is a pity The thing is, he probably won’t change.”

"So -" Sean smiled, "ignore what Professor Dumbledore said. Although he may have just mentioned it out of some kind of psychology, he always ignores one point. His identity makes even a casual sentence Words also carry a lot of weight. It's unfair for him to say this to you and demand something from you. It's up to you to decide whether to hold a grudge or not."

After saying that, Sean waved his hand: "I still have things to do, so you go back to sleep first. Good night."

Then, he disappeared from the spot.

Looking at the place where Sean disappeared, Stephanie's eyes flickered and her expression was inexplicable.

…

"Where are you, the information? Hurry up!"

"Contact with the Muggle Prime Minister is ready..."

"Over there, hurry up, hurry up!"

Late at night, the Ministry of Magic, which should have been empty, was noisy and lively like a market.

No one could ignore this huge change, and all the employees who had been off work were called back to get busy.

"Department of Mysteries." A cold female voice sounded, and the golden gate opened, but no one wanted to go out.

The clerk in the elevator pressed the close button strangely, thinking that he would ask someone from the maintenance department to come and take a look at the elevator, but he did not notice a small black insect walking out.

The insect slipped into a dark corner, and with a very slight sound, a figure suddenly appeared on the spot.

The trajectory flicker works better than I thought... Sean, who changed his appearance, raised his eyebrows and then disappeared into the air.
