The office suddenly fell silent.
Dumbledore smashed the memory in the pot with his wand, Tywin sank, and the pot turned opaque silver-white again.
The silver light in the Pensieve illuminated Dumbledore's face. After a moment of silence, he sighed.
"William, it's not a sin to like, even if the two are of the same gender.
However, when we mention this kind of disapproved feeling, we should be cautious and cautious, and we should not jump to conclusions lightly. "
William felt a little awkward talking about this kind of thing with Dumbledore in the office, but it was understandable, after all, corrupt countries had their own national conditions.
Fortunately, the principal quickly said: "From my experience and observation, Professor Tywin does have a special feeling for James.
That kind of feeling started when James rescued Tywin. "
"Then the one who just used the compound decoction to become Professor Snape, isn't that Professor Tywin?"
"I think it's him."
"But how is that possible, I mean, Professor Tywin was talking to you at that time?
Is one of them fake? "
"Both are him, William."
"How is it possible, how can he appear in two places at the same time?"
"Okay, William." Dumbledore leaned back on the chair and interrupted his questioning. "I can't reveal more, otherwise it will affect your time here."
"What do you mean, Professor?"
"At this point, I was supposed to be at the Ministry of Magic, but since you appeared in front of me this morning, things have changed, and that's why I'm here." Dumbledore stared at William's eyes.
"Before our topic starts, I have to ask you a question."
"What's the problem, Professor?"
"William, how many times is this your cycle?"
Dumbledore's eyes sharpened.
Suddenly, revelation flooded William's body like a wave, and he vaguely knew why he was here.
That hunch is getting stronger.
William was clutching the ring tightly, his knuckles turning white, and he didn't even notice it.
"William?" Dumbledore cried. "You look pale? Are you all right?"
William subconsciously wanted to rotate the ring, but the ring didn't move, and he woke up from his contemplation.
Dumbledore leaned forward slightly, his broken nose was about to touch William's face, and those blue eyes stared at William.
"It seems that my words have inspired you?"
"Yes, Professor," William said, "there is some speculation."
"Oh," Dumbledore was interested and smiled, "Tell me about it."
"I, have I entered some kind of... time loop?"
William returned to the day of April 20th again. It wasn't his own imagination, he didn't get the kind of prediction about the future that Death had come, and it wasn't because he traveled back... but he was caught in a time loop.
In addition to Dumbledore's reminder, the main thing that William was able to realize so quickly was that he remembered the few movies he had seen in his previous life.
"Groundhog Day", "Terrorist Cruise", "Edge of Tomorrow", "Happy Death Day", "Unexpected Space"... William can think of more than a dozen of them just from memories.
"Groundhog Day" is about Phil every time he wakes up in the morning, it's the same day: it's always February 2, Groundhog Day.
And what happened that day, like a videotape being played over and over again, happened beside Phil.
There will always be the same people, the same things will happen: wake up to the same radio broadcast every day, someone will strike up a conversation with him, an old lady will chat with him and ask him about breakfast and the weather, meet a beggar and an old friend who sells insurance on the road, Reporting program...
In "Doctor Who", in order to save Clara, the Doctor was trapped in the confessional clock for 4.5 billion years, and spent one day repeatedly.
Either way, they are undoubtedly caught in a time loop, just like the environment William is in now.
Of course, whether it is really what he thinks depends on tomorrow, is it April 20th!
Dumbledore motioned William to raise his right hand. Under the soft light, the ring looked simple, elegant and mysterious.
"William, you guessed right, you are indeed in a special cycle, and your time is still stuck, and even will continue to stop today."
William frowned and said, "However, this is not the same as what Professor Binns said.
He said that the Ravenclaw Bronze Ring is a magical item that can travel to any time. "
Dumbledore shook his head and said, "When I was a teacher, I reminded my students more than once that those real histories were circulated together with many unbelievable legends."
"A widely accepted rumor may not stand the test, like this ring."
"Professor, can you explain this ring?"
Dumbledore stood up and walked outside the window. William and him stood side by side, looking at the Hogwarts landscape.
The silver moon is like a hook,
The night was dark.
Like a picture scroll.
This painting has been quietly presented for thousands of years.
Dumbledore was silent for a long time, and sighed, "I really can't get tired of watching it, William, do you know what the Hogwarts school was originally used for?"
"Cultivating wizards~www.mtlnovel.com~passing knowledge?"
"Well... not accurate, this goal exists only for a greater goal."
"A greater goal?"
Dumbledore looked straight at William.
"Simply put, the Big Four established Hogwarts just to study some secret knowledge—they built this school to recruit outstanding wizards and let these few elites know, study, protect and pass on this secret knowledge. "
"What exactly is secret knowledge?" William's breath was slightly short.
"For thousands of years, people have called it prehistoric mystery. It is said that the magic power is boundless and has infinite power, which can create everything and destroy everything..."
"Does that kind of thing really exist, Professor?" William felt like he was listening to a fairy tale.
Dumbledore smiled and said: "Doesn't it exist? Children, those tarot card prophecies, the "Book of Changes" that the East can reveal the past and the future, the magic stone that can last forever in Nico's hands... These are all the scales and half claws of prehistoric meanings. ."
"So, Professor Dumbledore," William said quickly, thought for a moment, and asked, "Do you think that the prehistoric mystery refers to all the knowledge accumulated in history? That is to say, all the magic in existence is the prehistoric mystery?"
"No." Dumbledore shook his head and said solemnly: "Prehistoric mystery and modern and modern magic are strictly distinguished. It exists in a very special form."
"Have you seen it?" William doubted.
"Of course I have seen it. Not only have I seen it, but it has also been used by someone. That powerful force once defeated the Dark Lord, and now it continues to protect someone."
Dumbledore said, staring straight at the night sky.
