Chapter 102 Entering the Time Loop Again

The last time they entered the principal's office, when they were on a night tour in the restricted area on the fourth floor, a few of them were caught by Dumbledore to enforce the law.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and when he came back again, William actually had the illusion that things were right and wrong, as if they were separated from each other.

No way, the scene of the Quidditch match was really terrifying!

Under the basilisk's gaze, at least dozens of little wizards died.

One death is a big event, dozens of deaths in a row... Merlin, this is not a teaching accident, but an indiscriminate campus attack that shocked the magic world.

Free Britain, dead every day?

Sometimes, William felt that he was not traveling through the magical world, but the world of Conan.

Otherwise, there really is a Sherlock Holmes in this world.

If this matter is not resolved, the thousand-year-old school of Hogwarts is estimated to be destroyed!

People who do this kind of thing are too crazy and inhuman. Don't let William catch them, or they will kill him.

What puzzled William the most was that Harry had also died.

He didn't die in the arena, but was carried out of the castle by Snape, showing an unhealthy golden color all over his body...

wait...gold? William remembered that in the story described by Nicole, the boss swallowed the Philosopher's Stone and had the ability to turn a stone into gold...

Didn't Harry swallow the Philosopher's Stone?

Could it be that he went to the restricted area on the fourth floor? !

William raised his head and put his eyes on the long table again.

On the table, there is a long sword. This is Dumbledore's sword to kill the basilisk, brought back to the office by William.

On the hilt of the long sword, a dazzling egg-sized ruby ​​is inlaid, and a row of characters is carved with ancient rune on the sword.

He had taught himself ancient rune, and recognized the meaning of the typography.

- Godric Gryffindor!

William touched the words on the sword with his hand, and he could feel a strange power inside.

"I advise you to be careful, William."

At this moment, 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, if you break it, can you afford it?"

"You are not also a cultural relic, you are touched by everyone every year."

"So, how polished I was a thousand years ago, and now I have patches all over my body." The Sorting Hat wasn't 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 holding this sword, sparks and lightning all the way, and killed the basilisk, not to mention Dora. It's windy."

"That's it," said the hat-sharing courtyard with a smile, "then you can't even touch it."

"Gryffindor's sword is made by goblins and has unusual characteristics."

"What characteristics?" 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 with the sword, and the blade is soaked with the basilisk's venom, it will absorb this venom as well.

If you are cut carefully, you will probably die very quickly. "

William raised his eyebrows, which was a remarkable feature.

"If you cast Avadasa Life on this sword, will this sword also absorb the characteristics of the Death Curse?"

"Well... I don't know, no one has ever been so boring." The Sorting Hat pouted.

"Then I'll try it sometime."

William said, and took out another bottle of medicine from his pocket.

"This is mixed with the fruit of the big mouth flower,

Boiled antidote.

In our first class this semester, Professor Sprawl said that even many rare snake venoms and venomous horned beasts can be unraveled.

Basilisks are no exception, so even if I get cut, I won't be poisoned to death. "

"It looks like you've learned well," said the Sorting Hat happily. "So it's wise for me to put you in Ravenclaw."

"How dare you mention the branch!"

The Sorting Hat quickly changed the subject and asked, "William, did you steal the Big Mouth Flower?

I remember there was a time when school started and Sprout said the greenhouse was missing a lot of herbs. "

"You can take medicine indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." William rolled his eyes: "Professor Sprout also asked me to prepare a potion to expel the thorns, how could I do it?

Big mouth flower fruit is just a fair deal between me and her. "

William picked up the sword and asked again: "You just said, this is Gryffindor's sword?

I remember in "A History of Hogwarts" that Gryffindor's sword was lost during the Goblin Rebellion, right? "

"This is just to deceive those goblins, otherwise they will keep asking for Gryffindor's sword!" The Sorting Hat disdainfully said: "You know what those goblins are."

William nodded.

In goblin values, the rightful owner of an item is always its maker, not its subsequent purchaser.

The purchaser should return the original to the maker upon death.

Raignac I was a goblin king in the time of Godric Gryffindor, and this sword was commissioned by Gryffindor.

The goblins all believed that the sword belonged to Legnac I, not Hogwarts, which was one of the important fuses that later caused the goblin rebellion.

Goblin Rebellion can be said to be an important chapter in the history of magic.

The rebellion lasted on and off for almost two centuries, beginning in 1612 near the village of Hogsmeade.

At that time, the goblins led the stormtroopers and used the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic, the head of the Wizarding Council, to stage a coup d'etat during a banquet in a Hogsmeade beer hall.

Magical History - Beer Hall Riot!

That is, within those two hundred years, Gryffindor's sword was lost.

The Sorting Hat smiled proudly: "How could it be lost. This sword has been kept in the principal's office, and it is said that it has been lost..."

William touched the sword and wanted to ask the Sorting Hat if it knew where Ravenclaw's crown was.

Just then, the door to the principal's office was opened.

Dumbledore came in wearily, and he sat down in his chair, his hands folded, as if thinking about something.

"Professor, how is the situation?" William asked hastily.

He's been locked in the office for a day and doesn't know what's going on outside.

"Very bad, forty-five 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, "Where's Harry?"

"Harry was dead too, 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 at Hogwarts after Quirrell died?" William asked in surprise.

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded heavily, "I expected this, but I didn't expect him to draw my attention by releasing the basilisk!"

William asked again: "Why did Harry go to the penalty area, I remember he was watching the game?"

"It wasn't just Harry, Weasley and Hermione went too." Dumbledore stared at William, "but neither of them... died."

What else did 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 removed the ring from his neck.

"What should I do? Just take it like this?"

For the first time loop, William took it at random. He was not sure if taking it like this again would trigger the second loop.

If it can't 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 desire, wear a bronze ring, and they can enter the cycle until they have the ability to fulfill their desires."

William thought about it. "So I need to catch Voldemort?"

Dumbledore shook his head and said solemnly: "William, Voldemort's state is very special now, you can't catch him, this wish will never come true.

If there is such a thought, after wearing the ring, I am afraid that it will only be trapped in the loop forever...until death. "

William was horrified, he never thought of the possibility of being trapped in a time loop forever.

"Then what do I need to do?"

Dumbledore grabbed William's hand and looked into his eyes with blue pupils.

"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 undid the chain from the ring.

Dumbledore closed his eyes wearily, his voice echoing in the office.

"William, I also want to remind you that saving people is very important, but don't forget, a greater goal."
