Chapter 292: Time Turner [Happy New Year!]
Chapter 292: Time Turner [Happy New Year!]
Ivan fell silent. The story Dumbledore told him filled him with a sense of fear!
This meant that one and a half years ago, when the protagonist of the story was still alive, his body and the Time Turner had already been there.
"Playing with time is extremely dangerous! No sane wizard should entertain such thoughts!" Seeing that Ivan seemed to understand, Dumbledore continued.
However, Ivan did not give up on the idea of obtaining the Time Turner as Dumbledore had hoped. No matter how dangerous it might be, Ivan was willing to give it a try.
Moreover, he quickly found a loophole in Dumbledore's words, regaining his confidence, he countered.
"But I don't think the Time Turner is as bad as you say, isn't that right? Otherwise, the Ministry of Magic wouldn't have entrusted it to a student!"
Ivan pointed to the Time Turner on the table. Its presence there meant that the Ministry of Magic had approved his use of it.
"You are always smarter than I imagine, Hals!" Dumbledore said, sounding both admiring and resigned.
"Yes, to a certain extent, it is controllable. If we use it cautiously and understand some of its principles, that is why we applied for a Time Turner!"
"To obtain it, your head of house, Professor Mcgonagall, wrote a letter to the Ministry of Magic, telling them that you are a model student and guaranteeing that you will never use it for anything other than your studies..."
"Throughout the history of Hogwarts, such an exception is rare!" Dumbledore explained to Ivan.
Few students in their third year would make such a choice, let alone one that would make the head of the house extremely confident. Meeting both these criteria was necessary for the Ministry of Magic to issue a Time Turner.
Ivan nodded, his eyes fixed on the golden Time Turner. He was wondering how long Dumbledore would keep talking before giving it to him.
"Professor, Divination class is about to start", Ivan tried to remind him.
"Don't rush, Hals. Hermione hasn't arrived yet", Dumbledore said slowly.

At that moment, the door to the headmaster's office opened, and the brown-haired young witch walked in.
Hermione glanced curiously at Ivan, surprised to see him there, then turned to Dumbledore and asked.
"Professor Dumbledore, Professor Mcgonagall said you wanted to see me?"
"Yes, I called you here because of your course selection", Dumbledore nodded.
"I'm sorry, Professor! Did I choose too many courses? I just wanted to learn more. If it has caused you any trouble..."
Hermione apologized, but Dumbledore interrupted her.
"No, Miss Granger, that's not what I meant! No teacher would refuse a student's thirst for knowledge!"
"We have a way to give you a bit more time, allowing you to attend all your classes simultaneously!" Dumbledore said with a smile.
Hermione was a bit confused. Could time be made to last longer?
She had already looked at the course schedule and noticed that today, three classes were scheduled at the same time. Unless she could create a Duplicate, she would inevitably miss two of them.
Hermione had already prepared to study on her own in private, or to rotate between the three classes.
Dumbledore did not hide anything and explained the function and usage of the Time Turner to Hermione in detail.
"Go back in time?" Hermione's eyes widened, her face full of surprise.
She never expected that this device, which looked like a timer, could actually reverse time and space.
"Professor, is there only one Time Turner?" Ivan couldn't help but interject, noticing that Dumbledore seemed to intend for him and Hermione to share the same Time Turner.
But there should be more of these in the Ministry of Magic.
"Yes, the Ministry of Magic has only approved one. They believe that too many Time Turners would increase the risk of losing control. However, you can use it together", Dumbledore nodded and continued.
"Also, I hope you can supervise each other, and it's best not to go back too far in time. Use it only when necessary."
Dumbledore then explained the various restrictions and taboos of the Time Turner, such as not interacting too much with others after going back in time, especially not being seen by your past self.
Hermione tried her best to remember all of this.
Ivan, on the other hand, was a bit disappointed. He had hoped to have his own Time Turner so he could have more time to study the improvement of the Polyjuice Potion.
After explaining all the taboos, Dumbledore suddenly spoke up. "This Time Turner will be kept by Miss Granger!"
Hermione hadn't expected Dumbledore to entrust her with such an important item and was momentarily at a loss. She could tell that Ivan seemed very eager to get the Time Turner.
"Professor Dumbledore, perhaps it should be with Ivan?" Hermione glanced at Ivan, noticing his unhappy expression, and suggested.
"Miss Granger, I am entrusting you with the Time Turner to ensure that its power is not misused. I trust you will not refuse Mr. Hals's legitimate requests, right?" Dumbledore shook his head.
Hermione hesitated for a moment before picking up the Time Turner from the desk and hanging it around her neck.
The two of them left the headmaster's office and walked toward the Divination classroom.
Ivan remained silent. Dumbledore's attitude had exceeded his expectations, and he even suspected that the headmaster might have guessed something.
But that shouldn't be the case!
Ivan frowned. He had sealed the news of Aisha's attack and her uncertain fate, partly out of concern that if too many people knew, it would affect his ability to obtain the Time Turner.
The Ministry of Magic would not allow anyone to attempt to change the past!
Moreover, few people paid attention to what happened in Knockturn Alley. Where did Dumbledore get his information, and how much did he know?
Sirius Black was a fugitive and would not contact Dumbledore voluntarily.
Unless...
Ivan suddenly remembered the letters in the headmaster's office. During the summer, he had met one of Dumbledore's close friends, the director of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, Bohan.
Was it him?
