Hogwarts: The Greatest Wizard - Chapter 296
c296 294 The past cannot be changed
Feeney took out the time turner in his pocket and was ecstatic. His goal was achieved. The time turner was finally in his hands.
The commotion he has caused in the Department of Mysteries is too great and he cannot stay here any longer.
Feeney looked around and tried to apparate away directly.
However, it is obviously not possible. This place is affected by time. Every time he is about to leave, he will come back here.
So he could only walk back to the room and the hall on his own feet, find the door leading to the corridor when he came from, open it, walk out, and then disapparate and leave here.
This series of actions is very simple to say, but extremely troublesome to actually do. Feeney needs to open each door, determine what it looks like inside, then mark it, and then open the next door until he finds what he is looking for. Doors, you know, there are a total of twelve doors here. Apart from the four doors that were determined before, there are eight more that need to be determined.
After some operations, Finny left the Ministry of Magic and returned to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.
Although this trip to the Ministry of Magic was more complicated, nothing else happened and everything went smoothly.
Feeney returned to No. 12 Grimmauld Place and went directly to his room to rest.
He was indeed a little tired this night, especially because the door was a little too tense for him.
Early the next morning, after Feeney got up, he immediately picked up the time turner and started turning it to prepare to go back in time and save Lisa again.
But this time there was no response from the time converter.
“how so!”
Finny was so shocked that he couldn’t help but let out an angry roar.
He could clearly feel the traces of magic on this time converter. In other words, there was no possibility that he took the wrong time brick or took a broken time brick.
However, this time converter is not working at this time.
Is it because I am in a past state where I used a time turner?
Feeney suddenly realized that he was not in the twenty rooms that belonged to him at this time, but in the past that he had returned to using another time turner.
It seems that time turners cannot be used as matryoshka dolls. After using one to go back to the past, there is no way to use another to go back to an earlier past.
Feeney sighed, very disappointed, but it was just disappointing.
Even if he can’t go back now, it doesn’t matter. When time reaches the point where he used the time turner, he will be back to his own time point. At that time, he will be able to use the time turner.
After thinking about it, Feeny refined a bottle of powerful water of life and death in the specially designed potion room. It was actually a timed dormancy potion, invented by Hufflepuff when she was bored, allowing her to use sleep. spend that long time,
Feeney planned to use it at this time, but he didn’t need to sleep for that long, half a month was enough.
“Egg roll,”
Feeney sighed and called out the name of another house elf. He knew very well that at this time, Puff was dealing with a series of matters related to the revenge war for him, and he had no time to deal with matters on this side.
So finding another house elf is your best option.
“Master, egg rolls are at your service.”
A house elf who looked very similar to Puff but had obvious masculine characteristics appeared next to Feeney, bowed to him and said respectfully,
Feeney nodded and said,
“Puff should have told you all the places I frequent, right?”
Finny asked. According to Puff’s habits and the communication between house elves,
Puff should tell the house elves of the Black family where he usually travels, so that Feeny can call any of them if necessary.
Sure enough, Omelet nodded and admitted,
“Yes, Puff has told Egg Wan all the places where the young master frequents. Does the young master want Egg Wan to send the young master somewhere? Wan Wan is very happy to serve the young master.”
Feeney nodded when he heard this, took out his wand and pointed it at the desk in the room. A piece of paper with words written in Shelao accent appeared in his hand and said,
“Send me the door to the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts,”
Egg Roll nodded, took Feeney’s arm and reached the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle with a snap of his fingers.
Feeney didn’t waste any time and walked back and forth in front of the carpet three times before entering his own bedroom in the Room of Requirement.
After coming to the bookshelf and finding the “Encyclopedia of Toadstools”, he put the note inside and also deliberately left some traces in the bedroom that only he could detect.
“Okay, Omelet, take me to Slytherin’s secret room, which is under the castle. You should know where it is, right?”
Egg Roll nodded,
“Danwan knows, Dianwan will send the young master over right now.”
Saying that, he still took Finny back to Slytherin’s secret room as before.
Feeney came to Slytherin’s office, placed the time turner in his arms on the table, and he himself entered the room where the books were once placed.
Wrinkling his eyebrows, Feeney said to the egg roll,
“Get a bed here,”
Egg Roll nodded,
“Dan Juan understands, Dian Juan will do it now.”
It was very fast and completed all of Feeney’s orders in less than two minutes.
“Okay, you can go back to your house in Grimmauld Place,”
After Feeney saw that everything was done, he said to the egg roll,
The egg roll disappeared here.
After Finny cast a spell on the door of this room, he took the enhanced life and death water in his hand, or it would be more appropriate to say it was a dormancy potion.
When he woke up again, Feeney was very keenly aware of the sound of someone walking by in Slytherin’s office outside the door. It seemed that he had seen the note and came here to find a time turner.
After a while, Feeney felt like he had gone back to the past, opened the door and walked out.
But he found that the time turner on the table had also disappeared.
“This is wrong!”
Feeney was shocked;
“When I returned to the past, I didn’t have a time turner on my body, and there isn’t one here either, but I did get a time turner from the Ministry of Magic.”
Suddenly, Feeney realized another thing, that is, how did he go back to the past?
Although his behavior is forming a closed loop now, where is the beginning of this closed loop?
Where did the time-turner that allowed me to go back in time come from? I can’t think that before this time, I got this time turner from the Ministry of Magic and let myself go back to the past.
But how did that self go back to the past?
Another self?
The more Feeney thought about it, the more confused he became. This was wrong.
According to the current closed loop, a time converter appeared during this process that should not have appeared.
It’s as if someone caused this time closed loop and didn’t want to let himself master the time converter.
But, who can do this?
Feeney was very confused, but had no clue.
And his mood at this time was also very complicated, because without the time turner, he would have no way to go back in time to save Lisa.
“Bah!”
At this time, Feeney suddenly heard a bright cry in the Slytherin chamber.
He didn’t care about thinking and ran out in a hurry. He didn’t forget that Sparky was sleeping in the secret room at this time. If he was woken up by this cry, it would be very troublesome for Finny to let him sleep again. something,
As a result, when I walked out, I saw Dumbledore’s Phoenix Fox hovering in the sky above the secret room.
“Fox?”
It seemed that Dumbledore knew about his behavior and wanted to call him over.
Feeney stretched out his right arm, and sure enough, Fox flew over, grabbed his arm, and led Feeney to Dumbledore’s office in a burst of fire.
“Professor, are you looking for me?”
Finny sat down on the chair in front of Dumbledore without ceremony.
Dumbledore didn’t pay attention to Feeney’s rude behavior. Anyway, Feeney behaved like this every time he came to his office. He was used to it.
In response to Feeney’s question, Dumbledore nodded and said,
“Oh, yes, that’s right. Don’t worry. Do you want black tea or coffee?”
Feeney frowned. Dumbledore had some objections to him because of his previous revenge on the Parkinson family. Why would he ask himself this now?
“Just black tea.”
Compared to coffee, Feeney still prefers black tea.
“Well, it’s better to have some pastries. I always feel uncomfortable eating black tea without desserts.”
Dumbledore smiled and nodded in agreement,
“I think so too. Would you like some cockroach pile? The latest cockroach pile produced by your sugar factory tastes great.”
Feeney waved his hand. He was more interested in tasting the new flavor of Cockroach than others. How should I put it? It’s hard to explain.
If Dumbledore hadn’t thought it was good, he wouldn’t have allowed it to be produced. However, even now, there is only one production line for cockroach piles. After all, Dumbledore may be the only one in the entire wizarding world who likes this kind of candy. Well, counting myself, I’m at least one and a half people.
After taking a few sips of black tea, Feeney put down the cup and looked at Dumbledore.
“Professor, can you tell me now what you are looking for?”
Dumbledore nodded, took out the Elder Wand and passed it through the air.
A burst of smoke appeared from the tip of the wand, and then a picture formed above the two people.
Feeney took a quick look and was immediately shocked.
That was Ravenclaw’s Chamber of Secrets. Although the entrance to this secret room was the Room of Requirement, whether or not there was anyone inside did not affect the use of the Room of Requirement. That’s why Finny never discovered that there were many of his own existences in that secret room. ,
Yes, the people in this picture are all Feeney himself,
“This,,,,,,is this a time turner?”
Dumbledore nodded and said in a deep voice,
“Yes, it’s just as you thought. After the incident at Parkinson’s Manor, I went to the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic to check it out. The time turner was not missing,”
Feeney frowned. Dumbledore’s action obviously judged Feeney’s intention to go back to the past to save Lisa, but why was there no lack of it?
Dumbledore continued,
“But just now, a former colleague of mine in the Department of Mysteries sent me a message that a time turner suddenly disappeared,”
Feeney was stunned, so the one he used at the beginning was really the one he got in the Ministry of Magic.
Dumbledore continued,
“That’s when I realized something was abnormal. After checking through the center of Hogwarts, I finally saw such a scene in the secret room left by Ms. Ravenclaw, and the number of people inside was still increasing. Increase.”
Feeney was stunned. It would be surprising if the number of people continued to increase. In fact, he had been using the time turner to go back to the past and failed to save Lisa. Then he continued to use it after passing the time node, continued to fail, and continued to wait. ,,,
“I,,,, am stuck in a time loop?”
Feeney was a little hesitant. Why didn’t he feel it?
Dumbledore shook his head and said,
“It’s not that, after my judgment, this situation should be because you made a decision that affects time, which has an impact on reality,”
Hearing this, Feeney’s face became more puzzled.
Dumbledore continued,
“There should be some kind of magical creature’s bloodline in your bloodline that can directly affect time, otherwise it would not directly have such an impact on reality. Of course, you cannot do this by yourself, but, unfortunately, You also know that there is a time-turner in the Ministry of Magic, and you actually obtained one there in the past.”
Dumbledore looked very solemn when he said this.
“Finney, after many experiments, you should know that what happened in the past cannot be changed, right? No matter how many times you go back to the past, Lisa will still die and Sirius will still be in a coma.”
As he spoke, he pointed at Feeney himself, who was still increasing in the picture.
Feeney frowned and said,
“Professor, how can I be sure without giving it a try?”
When Dumbledore heard this, he sighed, took out a time turner from the table and handed it to Finny.
“Then go ahead.”
Finny took the time turner and turned it, disappearing from the spot.
“Bang, bang, bang,”
At the same time, there was a knock on the office door. Dumbledore waved his wand, the office door was pushed open, and it was Feeny who walked in.
“Is it confirmed this time?”
Dumbledore asked,
He knew very well that the person who came in from the door was the newly awakened Feeny who had just used the time turner in front of him to go back to the past, and then fell asleep in the Ravenclaw chamber.
Feeney nodded with an unusual expression and said,
“I still failed,”
