Chapter 167: Time Passed
Seeing Dumbledore, Harry and Hermione were stunned for a moment, and at the same time spoke anxiously.
"Professor, Blake was wronged, we saw Peter Pettigrew!"
"He's Ron's mouse, and in the foyer, he tells everything!"
"Peter Pettigrew took control of Ron, he framed Professor Lupin last night and is still preparing today"
"Peter Pettigrew is dead, and he was killed by those eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest"
Dumbledore raised his hand to stop Harry and Hermione's gushing explanations, his light blue eyes scrutinizing Evan through his semicircular glasses.
"I already know what you are saying, and now I beg you not to interrupt me, for time is running out, Cornelius and the Aurors have arrived at Hogwarts, and they may arrive at the castle at any time!" Dumbledore said calmly, "Actually, you have behaved very well tonight, but we have no evidence to prove that Blake is innocent, and the words of the four twelve- and thirteen-year-old wizards will not convince anyone except your words." ”
"But Peter Pettigrew"
"Twelve years ago, an entire street of witnesses swore that they had seen Sirius Black kill Peter Pettigrew. And I myself have provided evidence to the Ministry of Magic that Sirius is the Potters' secret keeper. ”
"Peter Pettigrew wasn't dead, Professor!, we can attest to that, his body is still in the Forbidden Forest, in the territory of those eight-eyed spiders. ”
"It's too late, Aven!By the time we find Peter's body, it'll be too late!" Dumbledore turned to Aven, "We don't have time, the Dementors have already made a request, and the Ministry of Magic has agreed, to carry out the final execution of Blake directly." ”
"But"
"Without Peter Pettigrew, we wouldn't have been able to overturn Sirius's verdict, and we wouldn't have stopped the Dementors, and no one would have believed Blake. ”
"But you trust us. ”
"Yes, I believe you. Dumbledore said calmly, "But I don't have the power to order anyone else to see the truth, or overthrow the Ministry of Magic!"
Hearing this, Harry and Hermione's faces suddenly turned pale.
Harry, in particular, stared at Dumbledore's serious face and felt as if the ground was falling apart beneath his feet.
He had become accustomed to the idea that Dumbledore would be able to solve any problem.
Just now, when he heard Evan say that Peter Pettigrew was dead, he had expected Dumbledore to come up with a solution to the problem out of thin air, but no last hope was lost!
Evan didn't speak, looking at Dumbledore with a calm face, he knew that the other party would definitely have a way to make amends, otherwise he wouldn't have been showing up all the time tonight.
"Actually, it's not like we don't have a chance, what we need now is," Dumbledore glanced at Evan and said slowly, "more time!"
"More time?!" Harry repeated, his expression confused, not knowing what Dumbledore meant.
It occurred to Evan that it was Hermione's time turner.
I see, no wonder he always felt weird tonight, history had been changed from the moment Harry and Hermione burst into Professor Lupin's office, and he had met Harry and Hermione from the future in a normal flow of time.
Evan was suddenly confused, he couldn't figure out how the time turner worked. If they had changed history in time travel, the time and space before the trip would have been lost, and the trip had a fallacy, a contradiction between history and time.
If they had captured Peter Pettigrew and saved Blake before that, then they wouldn't have to use a time turner to go back in time in the future, and if they hadn't gone back in time, they wouldn't have been able to change history.
Evan shook his head, he felt like he was in a strange circle.
Now was not the time to think about it, he was going to include the time turner in his magical studies, but he didn't see any books in the library, so he had to ask the Brett Bookstore to collect them first and see if they could help him find them.
As Evan thought about these things, Hermione's eyes widened, and she clearly understood what Dumbledore meant, and said in surprise, "Oh, Professor"
"Now, pay attention!" Dumbledore's voice was low, but very clear, "Miss Granger, you know the law, and you know what is dangerous. You must promise not to be seen, especially not by yourselves, never!"
Hermione nodded, nervously touching the necklace on her chest.
Before Harry could figure out how things were going, Dumbledore had already turned around and turned around when he reached the door.
"I'm locking you here, it's twelve o'clock in the morning!" Dumbledore looked at his broken watch, "Miss Granger, just turn it six times, good luck with you!"
"Good luck?!" Harry repeated with a confused expression as he saw that Dumbledore had closed the door behind him, and he said in surprise, "Turn it six times?!What is he talking about, what should we do?"
He saw that Evan and Hermione had gotten out of their hospital bed, Hermione fumbling around the collar of her robe, pulling a long, fine gold chain from underneath it.
"Aven, Hermione, what are you doing?" said Harry, confused.
"We'll explain to you later, come here now. Hermione said eagerly.
"Hurry up, we have to hurry!" Evan urged.
He saw Hermione's nervous little face, and subconsciously held her cold little hand.
Hermione turned and smiled at Aven.
Hearing the urging of the two men, Harry hurried over.
He saw Hermione pull the chain out completely, and a small shiny gold timer hung from underneath it.
"Here!" Hermione asked, panting, wrapping the chain around Evan and Harry's necks, "are you ready?"
Evan nodded, and Harry was completely confused, and he hurriedly asked, "Wait, what the hell are we going to do?"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Hermione turn the timer six times.
In the next second, the dark ward was gone!
Harry felt like he was flying, flying fast, flying backwards. Blurred clouds and shapes passed in front of me, and something was pounding in my ears.
He wanted to scream, but he couldn't hear himself, and then he felt the solid ground under his feet, and everything was focused again, and he stood next to Evan and Hermione, in the antechamber where no one was around, bright sunlight shining through the open front door to the floor.
Harry looked at the familiar scene around him in amazement, he didn't understand, why it was still midnight just now, and now it's daylight again, what did Hermione and Evan do?!
"What's going on, where is this?" Harry quickly turned his head to look at Evan and Hermione.
"In the past!" replied softly, "This is the time in the past!" (To be continued.) )
