"She's my daughter, but I've failed her....but I'm sorry, Helga, and we don't have anything else to do about Helena—otherwise I'm bound to be in a time where completely unknown variables are going to happen......" Alan explained the reason to Helga Hufflepuff in as much detail as possible, "I know that a word of thank you can't offset your care for their mother and daughter...... But that's all I can say about it now. ”

Hufflepuff was silent for a while, and then her expression softened, she sat down in a chair in the principal's office, and looked up at Allen, "You must not be here because I sent you an invitation letter, right?"

"Helga, we also need to make a staff of identity modeled after the Nether era, and I will use it for the task I need to complete the next time I convert...... But we lack some raw materials, so we hope to get your support......" Instead of being pretentious, Alan told Hufflepuff the purpose of his trip straightforwardly, and then added after a pause, "Rowena wants you to understand her, and if possible, I expect you to join the study of the Nether Scrolls." Helga, I can't stay forever this time...... Although my intentions are selfish, I personally want you to spend more time with Rowena...... That's the way we can repay you a little bit now. ”

"When have you been so polite when you took something from me, write a letter and I'll send it to you if you want anything. Hufflepuff sighed, she found that she couldn't stop the two fellows who were obsessed with research—and there was no reason to stop them, and simply expressed her full support, "But I won't be involved with you, Rowena was able to stay alive because he made a bet with that dangerous devil to earn divine blood, and I don't plan to let you risk making another bet with a devil archduke - whether he can get this kind of thing again is another matter." Not to mention the philosopher's stone, the philosopher's stone is full of sin in itself, and it does not guarantee true eternal life. I'm sorry, Alan, I didn't mean to do that, if you come from Hogwarts a thousand years later, and it's still the world's number one magic academy, it can already show that my hard work has not been in vain, and my greatest wish in this life has been fulfilled......"

"Helga, I understand, thank you for your continued support of us. Alan didn't try to persuade him again, the other party's history records that he died in the 11th century, but Hufflepuff was clearly not a Ravenclaw, and she couldn't fake her death and leave everything else behind......

"Alan, but ...... I do have a request. A hint of embarrassment and pleading appeared on Hufflepuff's kind face.

"As long as I can do it, I will not refuse. Alan replied seriously, if he could repay some favors, at least it would make him feel more comfortable.

"Did Rowena tell you anything about Godric Gryffindor?" asked Helga tentatively.

As soon as Alan nodded, he heard Helga use a somewhat complaining tone again: "It's all for Rowena, he is now inspired by the blood curse inherited by his family, and he has to turn into a giant squid in the black lake, and only a small amount of time a day can return to human form and wander around the castle." Helga glanced at Alan, who was a little unaccustomed to the current role reversal, and whispered with a look on her face, "Godric didn't know about the time turner, he always thought that you abandoned Rowena and caused her to change her temperament, and he also thought that Helena's death made the selfish raven angry, so he was bent on dueling with the irresponsible man he saw as causing their death...... Alan, I personally hope that you can duel him once and end his only wish now, before he has fully become a giant squid - he has been less and less time to turn back into a human recently, and his mind is beginning to be a little blurry about who is his true identity, in fact, I suspect that if it weren't for this obsession, he probably wouldn't want to turn back into a wizard after Rowena's fake death......"

"Thank you, Helga. Whoever you are friends with is a very lucky thing, and I am more than willing to duel him. Alan stood up and solemnly bowed to Hufflepuff with a wizarding salute, "Although there are some misunderstandings, in fact, I am very grateful to him for his selfless help to Ravenclaw over the years. ”

"It's nothing Alan, there's no need to ...... like this," Hufflepuff hurriedly replied, and she continued to add in a pleading tone, "I hope you can duel him again with enough certainty, I know that Godric, who has been stagnant for many years, is no match for you after studying the Nether Scrolls, but I still hope that you will be strong enough to control your power in a duel and be sure that you will not hurt his life before dueling him - I hope that the lion will probably know your distress if he sees your current appearance... ...”

Alan nodded solemnly again, "I think I've been able to do it, Helga, I promise it's going to be so...... That's what Rowena and I owe him ......"

"By the way, you won the championship of eating two-headed cow balls in my tavern at Carnival back then, and I haven't given you your prize yet," Hufflepuff said to Allen, "I also built a secret room in the Forbidden Forest, and they gave me an Axis Stone found in the ruins of Nethrel when they ventured before, and it is useless for me to keep it, so I will give it to you." ”

"Uh...... For my timeline, I actually think I already got it when I completed your Chamber of Secrets challenge...... Helga, just keep it inside, I think you understand what I mean......" Alan looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect the fried cow to be with him......

"So I'll have to leave you with a challenge......" Helga nodded thoughtfully.

The two talked for a while, and tentatively agreed that no one else would be present in the duel except for Allen and Godric and Hufflepuff—Ravenclaw would see if she wanted to tell Gryffindor about the fake death. Starting tonight, Hufflepuff will take advantage of the giant squid's transformation back into a red-haired wizard and wandering around the academy to inform them of Alan's arrival, agree on a match time, and finally inform Ravenclaw of them in a letter.

Seeing that the matter was almost discussed, Alan drank the little wine left in the glass, and asked Hufflepuff for a bottle of ink and quills, listing the list of materials he and Ravenclaw would need to make magical artifacts in the future—after saying goodbye to Hufflepuff, Allen, who was carrying a few puddings and dinner prepared by the other party, stepped into a shadow behind a desk in the headmaster's office due to the lighting, and teleported back to Ravenclaw's secret research room from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where illusions were forbidden.
