The last time they entered the Headmaster's office, it was during the night tour of the restricted area on the fourth floor, and several of them were fished by Dumbledore to enforce the law.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and when he comes back again, William actually has the illusion that things are not human and strange, as if they are in another world.

No way, the scene in the Quidditch arena is really terrifying!

Under the gaze of the basilisk, at least dozens of young wizards died.

Dying one is a great deal, and dozens of people have died in a row...... Merlin, this is not a teaching accident, but an indiscriminate school attack that shocked the wizarding world.

Free Britain, dead every day?

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

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

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

The person who does this kind of thing is too mad and inhumane, don't let William catch him, otherwise he will have to die.

What puzzled William the most was that Harry was also dead.

He didn't die in the arena, but was picked up from the castle by Snape, with an unhealthy golden ......

Wait a minute...... Golden? William remembers that in the story described by Nicol, the Boss swallowed the Philosopher's Stone and had the ability to turn stones into gold......

Harry couldn't have swallowed the Philosopher's Stone, right?

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

William looked up and looked back at the long table.

On the table, there was a long sword. It was Dumbledore's sword that killed the basilisk, which William took back to his office.

On the hilt of the long sword, a dazzling egg-sized ruby is inlayed, and a row of characters are carved on the sword body in ancient scripts.

He had studied the ancient magic script on his own and recognized the meaning of the typeography.

- 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, "This is an artifact, 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, ah, how glamorous I was a thousand years ago, and now I have patches all over my body." The Sorting Hat is not happy.

William's funny tone of the hat made William feel better, and he said calmly, "I won't break it, just this morning, Dumbledore was still holding this sword, sparks and lightning all the way, and hacked down the basilisk, not to mention Dora Wind." “

"That's right," the hat yard laughed, "Then you can't touch it." ”

"Gryffindor's sword, forged by a goblin, has unusual characteristics."

"What features?" William wondered.

"The best feature of this sword is that it can absorb what strengthens it." The Sorting Hat explained.

"Since Dumbledore stabbed the basilisk to death with his sword, the blade of the sword has been soaked in the basilisk's venom, and it will absorb this venom as well.

If you are carefully cut, you will probably die quickly. ”

William raised an eyebrow, which was a remarkable feature.

"If you cast Avada Death on this sword, will this sword also absorb the properties of the Death Curse?"

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

"Then I'll give it a try sometime."

William said, pulling another bottle of potion out of his pocket.

"This is an antidote mixed with large-mouthed flowers.

In the first class of our semester, Professor Sprou said that even the venom of many rare snakes and venoms can be unraveled.

The basilisk is no exception, so even if I cut it, I won't be poisoned. ”

"Looks like you're not a good learner." The Sorting Hat said happily, "So it's wise for me to assign you to Ravenclaw." ”

"You dare to mention the Sorting House!"

The Sorting Hat quickly changed the subject and asked, "William, did you steal the big-mouthed flower?"

I remember one time at the beginning of the school year, Sprout said that a lot of herbs were missing from the greenhouse. ”

"Medicine can be taken indiscriminately, but words cannot be said indiscriminately." William rolled his eyes, "Professor Sprout also asked me to prepare a potion to expel the assassins, how could I do it?"

The Bigmouth Fruit is just a fair deal for me to her. ”

William picked up the sword and asked, "You just said that this is the sword of Gryffindor?"

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

"It's just a lie to the elves, or they'll keep asking for Gryffindor's sword!" The Sorting Hat said disdainfully, "You know what those goblins are. ”

William nodded.

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

The purchaser should return the original to the manufacturer after death.

Legnack I was a fairy king during Godric Gryffindor's time, and he was commissioned by Gryffindor to forge this sword.

The elves believed that the sword belonged to Legnak I, not Hogwarts, and was one of the triggers for the Goblin Rebellion.

The Goblin Rebellion is arguably an important chapter in the history of magic.

The rebellion lasted intermittently for almost two centuries, first in 1612 near the village of Hogsmeade.

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

The history of magic says - beer hall riots!

It was within those two hundred years that the Gryffindor sword was lost.

The Sorting Hat smirked, "How could it be lost." This sword has been kept in the principal's office, and it is said to be lost to the outside world......"

William felt for the sword, eager to ask if the Sorting Hat knew where the Ravenclaw crown was.

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

Dumbledore walked in tiredly, he sat down in his chair, his hands crossed, as if thinking about something.

"How's it going, Professor?" William asked hurriedly.

He had been locked up in the office for a day and had no idea what was going on outside.

"Oops, forty-five students died." Dumbledore said sadly.

The portraits of the principals in the office immediately panicked, and many of the principals left the frame to confirm the news.

William was silent for a moment, then asked, "What about Harry?" ”

Harry was also dead, and Professor Snape found him in the exclusion zone on the fourth floor.

He must have swallowed the Philosopher's Stone during the battle with Voldemort. ”

"Voldemort didn't go? Did he stay at Hogwarts after Quirrell's death? William was surprised.

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded heavily, "I expected that, but I didn't expect him to attract my attention by releasing a basilisk!" ”

Willian asked again: "Why did Harry go to the box, I remember he was watching the game?" ”

"Not only Harry, but Weasley and Hermione are gone." Dumbledore stared at William, "But the two of them...... None of them died. ”

William wanted to ask something, and Dumbledore waved his hand.

"William, I already know the general process of the whole thing, but I can't tell you...... You know, is the Ravenclaw ring still there? ”

William removes the ring from his neck.

"What should I do? Is it just that? “

The first time loop, William brought it at random, and he wasn't 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 irreparable.

Dumbledore said seriously:

"I can only guess...... The descendants of Ravenclaw, when they have a strong desire, can enter the cycle with a bronze ring until they have enough ability to fulfill their wishes. ”

William thought for a moment, "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 definitely not come true."

If you have this kind of thought, after wearing the ring, I am afraid that you will only be trapped in the loop forever...... Until death. ”

William was terrified, he never thought that there was a possibility of being trapped in a time loop forever.

"So what do I need to do?"

Dumbledore grabbed William's hand, blue pupils, and looked him in the eye.

"William, investigate the whole incident and save all the students, including Harry...... Be sure to do it, you are the only hope! ”

William nodded lightly and unfastened the chain from the ring.

Dumbledore closed his eyes tiredly, his voice echoing through the office.

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