Chapter 291 Do You Still Want It Now?
In the early morning two days later, Ivan was enjoying breakfast early in the large exhibition hall. What made him a little confused was that the first elective class was about to start, but the time converter he had been longing for had not yet been delivered to him. inside.
It wasn't until after breakfast that Gryffindor's prefect Percy suddenly came over and told Ivan with a strange expression that Dumbledore asked him to go to the principal's office.
Ivan frowned slightly, what was Dumbledore doing with him at this time? Ivan suddenly had a hunch that getting the time turner might not be as easy as he thought.
With this thought, Ivan got up and walked towards the principal's office. After saying the password Percy told him, he followed the spiral staircase and entered the principal's office.
The principal's room looked no different from before. The circular room looked very spacious. There was a long table in the center with some letters scattered on it. Dumbledore was sitting on a chair, looking through the letters. One letter.
When the portraits hanging on the wall saw Ivan coming in, they all looked over and looked at him curiously. Fox, who was sleeping on a branch, also opened his eyes.
"Good morning, Professor Dumbledore!" Ivan said politely, and then asked tentatively. "What are you looking for for me?"
Dumbledore seemed to be focused on this letter, and he didn't notice Ivan coming in until he spoke.
Dumbledore turned the letter over and placed it on the table, then took a class schedule from the side, turned it over, and placed it in front of Ivan's eyes.
"Minerva handed in your course schedule here last night. I'm a little surprised. You seem to be planning to choose all the courses? Can you tell me why you want to do this?"
"There is no harm in learning one more course, right? Besides, I think there must be a reason for the courses chosen to be taught at Hogwarts!" Ivan said eloquently.
Dumbledore's expression was a little helpless, "I'm glad to see you are so enthusiastic about learning, but I want to remind you that everyone's time is limited, and the class times of many courses conflict with each other. I hope You can learn how to choose!"
"This is not something that cannot be solved, is it? When Professor McGonagall asked us to choose courses, she did not tell me that I could not choose all the courses." Ivan interrupted Dumbledore and continued seriously.
“You can’t stop a student’s thirst for knowledge!”
Dumbledore was not talking, his slender fingers slowly moved together, and his blue eyes under the half-moon glasses looked at Ivan.
The latter did not give in. The time turner was something Ivan must get this school year. It was the core of all plans. He would never give up on it no matter what.
Ivan also understood that Dumbledore didn't seem to want to get this thing.
The two sides faced off for a while, with Ivan trying hard to maintain the Occlumency technique.
But Ivan didn't feel any trace of his brain being invaded during the process. I don't know whether it was because Dumbledore's level of legilimens was too high and he couldn't sense it, or because the other party didn't use legilimens.
Dumbledore was silent for a while before finally speaking. "Of course, no principal would stop a student from pursuing knowledge."
Ivan slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He was very worried about Dumbledore's strong refusal. In that case, he would have no chance to get the time turner again.
Immediately afterwards, Ivan saw Dumbledore open the drawer and take out a long, thin gold chain. Under the chain, there was a sparkling timer hanging.
Ivan's eyes were immediately attracted, and he knew that it was what he had always longed to get.
"What is that, professor?" Ivan suppressed his excitement and asked in a calm tone.
"The time turner can allow people to go back in time!" Dumbledore said meaningfully.
"A very powerful ability, isn't it?" Dumbledore suddenly asked.
Ivan nodded, reversing time and space is an extremely powerful ability no matter where he is.
He can even think of hundreds of ways to use the time turner to make money, and he is always invincible in battle.
If you calculate it properly, you can put countless of yourself at the same time point and create an Ivan Hals army!
Of course, for Ivan, the most important thing is that the time turner can allow him to go back to a time when nothing happened, and then reverse the results of Asia's attack!
Perhaps seeing some of Ivan's thoughts, Dumbledore reminded him. "But if you use it with the idea of changing the past, you won't get anything!"
The hope ignited in Ivan's heart was like a bucket of cold water being poured on him.
Dumbledore crossed his arms, stared at Ivan with his blue eyes, and continued.
"I hope you can understand that the time turner's capabilities are limited and extremely dangerous, otherwise the Ministry of Magic would not shelve it!"
"One of the most impressive stories I know of is someone who tried to change the past."
"That man tried every means to obtain an extremely powerful time turner, and went back to a year ago to prevent something that made him extremely sad - his wife died in a conflict!"
At this point, Dumbledore paused.
"Then what?" Ivan asked with a frown.
"Then the man successfully returned to a year ago and waited at the place where his wife died. He waited until a drunkard tried to follow his wife. The two had a fight. The drunkard cast a wide range of explosive magic in anger."
"His wife was killed like that, right?" Ivan guessed what would happen next.
Dumbledore nodded and told Ivan that the man returned to the original point in time and told some people about the incident.
He regretted it immensely and told everyone that he would make full preparations and use the time turner to go back a second time, even further back in time, to kill the drunkard in advance!
"He also failed the second time?" Ivan was very surprised. As long as he had the first experience, logically there should be no more problems.
"He's missing!" Dumbledore's answer was beyond Ivan's expectations. He said without stopping and speaking very fast.
"But more than half a year later, someone found his body in a place, as well as a damaged time turner. After some people's identification, the man had been dead for almost two years when he was found, and no one knew he was back. What have you experienced in the past?"
"Some people speculate that when he was looking for the drunkard, he encountered someone who was killed. Some people also suspected that after his second failure, he kept using the time turner, but failed again and again, and finally collapsed. Destroyed the time turner, then committed suicide!"
After finishing speaking, Dumbledore looked at Ivan expressionlessly, his blue eyes seemed to be saying.
Do you still want it now?
