Chapter 366: We Won’t Be Captured by the Ministry of Magic and Put Into Azkaban, Right?

"I accidentally broke it. Professor Dumbledore won't fire me for this, right?" Hermione collapsed completely when she heard that even Ivan couldn't think of a way.

Hermione almost burst into tears when she thought that after she was expelled, she would have to compensate the Ministry of Magic with a large sum of gold galleons, and might also implicate Professor McGonagall, who had vouched for her.

"Don't worry, it won't happen!" Ivan quickly comforted him, and then said again.

"Besides, if they want to punish me, they should punish me! This matter has nothing to do with you, but you overused the time turner just to help me. I will explain this to them when the time comes!"

Now that he understood that the time turner was damaged due to system reasons, Ivan certainly would not let Hermione, an unsuspecting little witch, bear this responsibility.

However, Hermione didn't appreciate it very much and glared at Ivan angrily. She felt that since the time turner was broken in her own hands, she had a great responsibility!

But soon, Hermione's anger turned into worry again. She pursed her lips and asked in fear. "If we break something so important, we won't be caught by the Ministry of Magic and thrown into Azkaban, right?"

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

"At the most, it's just a compensation of some gold galleons. You don't know that I made thousands of galleons from Lockhart last year, which should be enough to compensate!"

"Besides, I am a recipient of the Order of Merlin and a minor wizard. The Ministry of Magic will not do anything to us."

Even though he said this, Ivan didn't have any confidence in his heart.

You must know that the method of making a time turner seems to have been lost, which means that every time turner is extremely precious. Every one is broken and one is missing. He has no idea how much it is worth. He doesn't know the gold galleons he has saved. Is it enough

However, it is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to capture two underage wizards and send them to Azkaban because of a time turner. Ivan can still confirm this.

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

If possible, Ivan doesn't really want to see Dumbledore. After all, he has many secrets, and he always feels a little uneasy when meeting this master of Legilimency.

But the time-turner thing can't be left alone. They still have classes to attend tomorrow.

If they missed several classes in a row, a professor would definitely report their absence to Dumbledore, so they couldn't hide it at all. It was better to honestly admit their mistakes.

In that case, maybe he was sincere in admitting his mistake and Dumbledore wouldn't pursue it?

Of course Hermione has no objection. Finding Professor Dumbledore can be said to be the only option now!

On the way to the principal's office, Ivan did not forget to tell Hermione that it was because they both loved studying so much that they used the time turner too frequently, which eventually led to the time turner being damaged. .

After all, using a time turner to go back in time without permission is no small matter. The Ministry of Magic will definitely hold him accountable and question him about what he did when he went back to the past.

Maybe people from the Ministry of Magic will think of the attack on Borgin Bock's store, conduct an in-depth investigation, and then expel him or take him to Azkaban.

"But will the people from the Ministry of Magic really believe us when we say this? What if they use Veritaserum on us?" Hermione was very doubtful, and saying that she loved learning too much was too much. Anyway, she was saying Not exported.

"Don't worry, the Ministry of Magic will not use Veritaserum indiscriminately. We are not prisoners. In fact, even if we are prisoners, they will not use it easily! So if we show that we are stronger than our peers, we can convince them!" Ivan He opened his mouth to explain.

In fact, Ivan has always found some of the practices of the Ministry of Magic fascinating. For example, Veritaserum is a powerful tool for interrogation, but the Ministry of Magic rarely uses it.

Just like during the last wizarding war, a large number of Death Eaters could successfully escape guilt by insisting that they were controlled by the Imperius Curse. The Ministry of Magic had no intention of using Veritaserum from the beginning to the end.

The same was true when Voldemort returned. A few drops of Veritaserum could tell the truth of what Harry said, but Fudge and the Ministry of Magic didn't use it!

Although there may be some political factors involved, for example, many Death Eaters who have escaped sanctions have prominent backgrounds, and the imprisoned pure-blood wizards are diehards who seek their own death.

Another example is that Fudge wants to pretend to be ostrich and whitewash peace, and is not willing to believe the fact that Voldemort has returned. However, it is obvious that Veritaserum cannot be used casually.

Since there is no need to drink truth serum, Ivan certainly does not worry about his words being revealed. The method of making a time turner has been lost for hundreds of years. No one in the Ministry of Magic should be able to see the specific use of this time turner before it was damaged. .

With his sixth-level alchemy level, he could only roughly judge that the time turner was damaged due to overuse. The specific details of how it was overused and how far back it went could not be detected at all, let alone the Ministry of Magic. those people

On the way to the principal's office, Ivan colluded with Hermione to make a confession, and by the time they arrived at the door, he had made up a perfect lie.

Considering that Hermione was not good at lying, Ivan asked her not to speak casually after entering. He would just leave the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore to deal with it.

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

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

"Sizzling honey candy?"

"Toffee finger cakes?"

"Pile of cockroaches?"

Ivan tried the huge stone beasts one by one. When he came to the pile of cockroaches, the stone beast shook violently and slowly rotated upwards while making a dull sound. Finally, the stairs hidden behind it were was revealed.

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

"I have been to the principal's office several times before and found that Professor Dumbledore usually uses some of his favorite candies and drinks as passwords, so I gave it a try. It seems that I have good luck!" Ivan explained with a smile. , and then strode in.

Hermione suddenly realized it, and then she felt a little annoyed. Why hadn't she thought of this before?
