"Sort of!" Dumbledore closed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

The more he came into contact with Ivan, the more Dumbledore felt that Ivan was different from Tom Riddle!

Although they both share an attachment and thirst for power, Ivan knows what love is... What is camaraderie! And Tom never figured it out...

So in comparison, Ivan is more like his younger self, ambitious and thoughtful... There are some bottom lines!

It was precisely because he saw his own shadow in Ivan that Dumbledore paid more attention to Ivan, not wanting him to be like himself, and waking up after doing something irreparable.

Having great power is not always a good thing, especially when it is so strong that no one else is able to stand up to you, and such people usually become arrogant, feel superior to others, and have the ability to control everything...

So it's important to learn to restrain your power so that you can make sure it's being used in the right place, not causing damage...

Thinking of this, Dumbledore sighed, he didn't realize it until after Ariana's death, it was undoubtedly a painful and profound lesson...

"But Hals is much better than I was then!" Dumbledore then spoke again, saying that even his younger self could not afford to remember the Elder Wand, a deathly holy weapon.

"I agree with that!" Nick Lemay on the side nodded in agreement.

Dumbledore was speechless.

"So you're a little too wide, Albus!" Nick Lemay smiled and continued.

"I told you at the beginning that we are already old, we only need to do our part, and the rest will be handled by the young people, don't you think it's good now? Even if the mysterious man is resurrected, there will be Hals to deal with him in the future..."

"Perhaps." Dumbledore said noncommittally.

He didn't think so, it turned out that the gap between the wizards of the wizarding world was too severe.

Whether it was Grindelwald decades ago, or Voldemort on the rise, how could he rest assured that the entire European wizarding world could not find a wizard to fight against them except himself?

If he could, he just wanted to be his headmaster at Hogwarts quietly, but unfortunately the burden on his body was too heavy for him to be idle...

Nick Lemay could see that Dumbledore did not approve of his words, but Nick did not say much persuasion, people like them have long been ingrained in their minds, and they cannot be easily changed with a few words.

"When are you going to bring him to me?" Nick Lemay said instead.

"We'd better wait... I think it's a little too early! Dumbledore hesitated and persuaded. Those alchemy knowledge is too dangerous, especially when it comes to the Philosopher's Stone! You should know what the consequences are of letting a mentally incomplete and growing child grasp this..."

"I can teach him step by step, starting with the simplest!"

Nick Lemay disagreed with Dumbledore's statement, but he still felt the old headmaster's insistence, and finally had to reluctantly compromise.

"Okay, I can wait, but you need to know that I'm running out of time... You'd better as soon as possible! ”

Nick Lemay would love to meet the little wizard Dumbledore with such a legendary experience in person, but with his current physical condition, it is not easy to go out.

What's more, there is still Voldemort in the outside world who covets the Philosopher's Stone.

Now the Philosopher's Stone has been completely destroyed by them, but the problem is that Voldemort may not want to believe it!

"I know, it won't be long!" Dumbledore reassured, then turned his gaze back to the broken time-turner on the table.

"By the way, what about this time turner? Can you fix it? ”

"Of course, no problem! But recently I've been working on something very interesting, and I don't have time to fix this for the time being, so you can get it again later! Nick Lemay waved his hand in disinterest.

Dumbledore nodded, put down the time turner, summoned the phoenix, and left the alchemy hut...

......

At the same time, in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall was scolding the two young wizards in front of him angrily with a straight face.

"Mr. Hals, Miss Granger, I think Headmaster Dumbledore should have warned you that the power of the time turner needs to be used with caution!"

"I'm sorry, Professor! I've been figuring out how to improve a potion these days, and I'm in such a hurry that I accidentally overused it and broke it... Thankfully, Professor Dumbledore told me he had a friend who could fix it! Ivan said apologetically.

Professor McGonagall was relieved to hear that the broken time-turner could be repaired, and then complained.

"How can you think that? Hals? There is a limit to what can be used for study and research! You're still young now, and you still have time in the future, so there's no need to be in such a hurry...."

McGonagall wouldn't believe it if someone told her that she had broken a time-turner because she was studying too aggressively, but Hermione was different from Ivan.

The little witch usually behaves very well and is very well-behaved, and Ivan has a strength far beyond her peers, especially in the attainment of transfiguration, which is much stronger than some adult wizards, and she must have practiced hard in private on weekdays...

What's more, Ivan came up with his research results - an improved version of the compound potion, which greatly increased the duration of the potion compared to the original, and the effect became more stable.

Of course, this is far less shocking than the wolf poison potion developed by Ivan last year, but it is already quite a good research result.

Professor McGonagall was also a little distressed when she thought of this, and asked seriously about the physical condition of Ivan and Hermione, how hard it must have been to use a time turner to damage!

If it weren't for frequent and intense use in a short period of time, the time converter would not be so easily damaged.

Ivan and Hermione quickly shook their heads, indicating that they were in good physical condition and had taken care to rest while using the time turner.

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt that the matter could not be left as it was, so she spoke sternly.

"Gryffindor has been deducted fifty points for your actions! I hope you will remember this lesson! ”

"But Professor, now Gryffindor has no points to deduct—" Hermione replied weakly.

Professor McGonagall looked at the two men in surprise.

"Our house points have already been deducted by Professor Dumbledore!" Ivan explained indifferently, anyway, if you have too much debt, you can still deduct a negative number?

Professor McGonagall took Ivan's expression in her eyes and guessed what was on his mind, and raised an eyebrow at the two of them.

"Then I'll keep the fifty points for the next time!"
