Chapter 201 Entering the time loop again
The last time they entered the principal's office was during the night tour of the restricted area on the fourth floor, when they were caught by Dumbledore to enforce the law.
Half a year passed in a blink of an eye, and when he came back again, William actually had the illusion that things were different, as if they were in another world.
There's no way, the scene at the Quidditch arena was really appalling!
Under the gaze of the basilisk, at least dozens of little wizards died.
One death is a big deal, and dozens of them died in a row... Merlin, this is not a teaching accident, but an indiscriminate school attack that shocked the magic world.
Free Britain, dead people every day?
Sometimes, William felt that what he crossed was not the magical world, but the Conan world.
Otherwise, there really is a Sherlock Holmes in this world.
If this matter is not resolved, Hogwarts, a thousand-year-old school, will probably be destroyed!
People who do this kind of thing are too insane and inhumane. Don't let William catch him, or you will have to fuck him to death.
What puzzled William the most was that Harry died too.
He didn't die on the field, but was carried out of the castle by Snape, his whole body showing an unhealthy golden color...
Wait... gold?William remembered that in the story described by Nico, the boss swallowed the Philosopher's Stone and had the ability to turn stones into gold...
Couldn't Harry have swallowed the Philosopher's Stone?
Could it be that he went to the restricted area on the fourth floor? !
William raised his head and set his eyes on the long table again.
On the table, there is a long sword.This is the sword that Dumbledore used to kill the basilisk and was brought back to the office by William.
The hilt of the long sword is inlaid with dazzling rubies the size of eggs, and a row of characters are engraved with ancient magic script on the body of the sword.
He had learned the ancient magic script by himself, and recognized the meaning of the typography.
— Godric Gryffindor!
William touched the writing on the sword with his hand, and he could feel a strange power inside.
"I advise you to be careful, William."
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.
William looked at the sorting hat on the shelf and asked, "What's wrong?"
The Sorting Hat grinned and said, "This is a cultural relic, Gryffindor's sword, you broke it, can you afford it?"
"Aren't you also a cultural relic, you are touched by everyone every year."
"So, how glamorous I was a thousand years ago, and now I have patches all over my body." The Sorting Hat was not happy.
The funny tone of the hat made William feel better. He said calmly, "I won't break it. Just in the morning, Dumbledore was still holding this sword, sparks and lightning all the way, hacking the basilisk to death, don't mention Dora It's windy."
"That's it," said the Sorting Hat Academy with a smile, "Then you can't even touch it."
"Gryffindor's sword is forged by goblins and possesses unusual characteristics."
"What characteristic?" William asked curiously.
"The biggest feature of this sword is that it can absorb things that can strengthen it." The Sorting Hat explained.
"Since Dumbledore stabbed the basilisk to death with the sword, the blade has been soaked with the basilisk's venom, and it will absorb the venom.
If you get cut carefully, you'll probably die pretty quickly. "
William raised his eyebrows, which is a remarkable characteristic.
"If you cast Avada Kedavra on this sword, will this sword also absorb the characteristics of the Death Curse?"
"Hmm... I don't know, no one has ever been so boring." The Sorting Hat pouted.
"Then I'll try it sometime."
As William spoke, he took out another bottle of potion from his pocket.
"This is an antidote mixed with the fruit of the Big Mouth Flower.
In our first class this semester, Professor Splow said that even many rare snake venoms and venomous horned beasts can be detoxified.
The basilisk is no exception, so even if I get cut, I won't be poisoned to death. "
"It seems that you have studied well." The sorting hat said happily, "So it is wise for me to sort you into Ravenclaw."
"You still dare to mention the matter of the branch!"
The Sorting Hat quickly changed the subject and asked, "William, did you steal the Big Mouth Flower?
I remember a while back in school when Sprout said that the greenhouse had lost quite a few herbs. "
"You can take medicine indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." William rolled his eyes: "Professor Sprout also asked me to make a potion to expel thorns, how could I do it?
The Big Mouth Fruit is just a fair deal between me and her. "
William picked up the sword and asked again: "You just said that this is Gryffindor's sword?
I remember that it was recorded in "A Piece of Hogwarts History", that Gryffindor's sword was lost during the goblin rebellion, right? "
"This is just to lie to those goblins, otherwise they will keep asking for Gryffindor's sword!" The Sorting Hat said disdainfully: "You know what those goblins are."
William nodded.
In the values of goblins, the legal owner of an item is always its maker, not the subsequent buyer.
The buyer should return the original to the maker after death.
Regnac I was a goblin king during the time of Godric Gryffindor, and he was entrusted by Gryffindor to cast this sword.
The goblins all believed that this sword belonged to Raignac I, not Hogwarts, which was also one of the important fuses that later caused the goblin rebellion.
The Goblin Rebellion is arguably an important chapter in the history of magic.
The rebellion lasted on and off for almost two centuries, starting as early as 1612 near Hogsmeade.
At that time, the goblins led the stormtroopers and used the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic, the President of the Wizarding Council, to stage a coup when a banquet was held in a beer hall in Hogsmeade.
The History of Magic - Beer Hall Riot!
That is, within those 200 years, the sword of Gryffindor was lost.
The Sorting Hat smiled triumphantly: "How could it be lost? This sword has been kept in the principal's office, and it was reported to the outside world that it was lost..."
William touched the sword and wanted to ask the Sorting Hat if it knew where Ravenclaw's crown was.
At this moment, the door of the principal's office was opened.
Dumbledore walked in wearily. He sat down on a chair, crossed his hands, and seemed to be thinking about something.
"Professor, how is the situation?" William asked hastily.
He has been locked in the office for a day and doesn't know what's going on outside.
"It's terrible, 45 students died." Dumbledore said sadly.
The portraits of the principals in the office immediately panicked, and many principals left the frame to confirm the news.
William was silent for a moment, then asked again, "Where's Harry?"
"Harry was also dead, and Professor Snape found him in the restricted area on the fourth floor.
He should have swallowed the Philosopher's Stone during the battle with Voldemort. "
"Voldemort didn't leave? He stayed in Hogwarts after Quirrell's death?" William asked in surprise.
"Yes," Dumbledore nodded heavily, "I expected this, but I didn't expect him to attract my attention by releasing the basilisk!"
William asked again: "Why did Harry go to the penalty area, I remember he was watching the game?"
"Not only Harry, but also Weasley and Hermione." Dumbledore stared at William, "But neither of them... are dead."
What else would William want to ask, Dumbledore waved his hand.
"William, I already know the general process of the whole thing, but I can't tell you... You know, is Ravenclaw's ring still there?"
William took the ring from his neck.
"What should I do? Just take it like this?"
For the first time loop, William took it on at random, and he wasn't sure if he would trigger the second loop if he took it like this again.
If it cannot be triggered, tomorrow will come on time, and everything today will be irreversible.
Dumbledore said seriously:
"I can only guess...the descendants of Ravenclaw, when they have a strong wish, they can enter the cycle by wearing a bronze ring until they have enough ability to realize their wish."
William thought for a while: "So I need to catch Voldemort?"
Dumbledore shook his head and said seriously: "William, Voldemort's state is very special now, you can't catch him, this wish will never come true.
If he had this kind of thought, after wearing the ring, he would probably only be trapped in the loop forever...until he died. "
William was terrified, he never thought about the possibility of being trapped in the time loop forever.
"Then what do I need to do?"
Dumbledore grabbed William's hand, blue pupils, and looked into his eyes.
"William, investigate the whole incident and save all the students including Harry...you must do it, you are the only hope!"
William nodded slightly and unchained the ring.
Dumbledore closed his eyes wearily, his voice echoing through the office.
"William, I also want to remind you that saving lives is very important, but don't forget about the greater goal."
