Chapter 9: The Time Traveler
In the small, broken Ollivanders wand shop, thousands of wands are stacked in small strips of cardboard boxes.
Behind the rows of shelves, young Ollivanders was talking to a mysterious woman.
"The chronological order is disrupted!"
"It is clear that the history of the whole world has gone backwards, about twenty-four years!"
"The beginning of the 10-year turmoil in China is recorded as 1976, which is recorded in history, but now the UK is in 1942!"
"What does this mean?"
Ollivanders was a little confused, time was too incomprehensible for ordinary people.
This shows that there has been a major change in the world line, which is why this phenomenon of time regression that affects the entire world has occurred! Except for some extremely special places, all the kingdoms, unified, instantaneous, regressed! ”
Sounds like the effect of a time converter.
Ollivanders is also a family of wands that has been around for thousands of years, dating back to the time of the Elder Warlocks, so it is natural that he knows these secrets, such as the great alchemical creation of the Time Converter
"It's not the same as a time turner!"
The mysterious woman seemed to see what Ollivander was thinking.
"A time turner can only rewind time within a certain range and re-engage the holder, but it is inherently impossible to change anything that has happened."
"Anyone who tries to make some changes will be punished in the confinement of the world line. To put it simply, it is to be dragged down by various coincidences, so that it cannot change the past; Severely, they will face their past selves and be killed or killed by the past, leading to an endless loop...... Eventually, when the power of the time turner becomes unsustainable, that guy will completely disappear from the world and be replaced by another person, who will not be remembered. ”
"But this time is different, this time it's a massive time rollback, it's too widespread, and it's far-reaching...... History has changed since then! ”
The woman sighed.
"Everything I have experienced has changed as a result, and as history changes further, my existence will gradually weaken until the magic of time can no longer shelter me."
"Then I'll be gone."
Ollivander interrupted her next sentence.
"However, as we all know, time travel is expressly forbidden by the Ministry of Magic! No one is allowed to illegally possess a time turner, and it is even more taboo to study time magic in private! ”
He drew a metal wand, but didn't raise it, just pointed it at the ground.
"Please give me an explanation, a plausible explanation, about who you are, and what you came to me for...... Time traveler. ”
"If you can't make it clear, then please get out of here, or I'll send you back to your time!"
The magic of the Time Turner will always envelop the time traveler, leaving them stranded in the current time and space.
It's a protection.
When the magic begins to wane, the Time Turner will tell the traveler to return to their original point in time.
These are the rules that were added from the very beginning of the creation of this miraculous alchemical creation.
However, once this protection is forcibly broken, the traveler will be directly exposed here, which will attract the rejection of the current time and space, and be "kicked out" without protection, as for the result...... No one knows.
"Your concerns are understandable."
"But, I'm the Minister of Magic, Hermione Granger."
The mysterious woman looked to be only twenty-five or sixteen years old, but she was amazingly imposing, and she was obviously a professional elite who had been calling the shots for a long time.
She gives people a sense of competence, wisdom, and a well-read scholar.
The golden hair is coiled high, and with the red and yellow court dress, it looks noble and generous.
"According to current research, the maximum travel time is five hours, provided that there is no serious damage to the time traveler and the time itself. Time Shift spells are very unstable and rely on containers for storage.
"We can already encapsulate the Hour Reversal Spell into an enchanted hourglass that wizards can wear around their necks and spin around in a few hours."
"Wizards who have tried to reverse the situation for too long have suffered serious injuries."
"For many years, people didn't understand why the wizards who reversed a longer span of time didn't come back alive."
All experiments were banned since 1899, when Eloise Mintumble was trapped for five days in 1402. When we recovered her, we found that her body had aged five centuries after returning, suffering irreparable damage, and died shortly after in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. To make matters worse, the lives of the people she met during the five days she returned had their lives disrupted, and the course of their lives had been immeasurably altered – at least twenty-five of their descendants had disappeared in modern times and had never been born. ”
Finally, in Ms. Mimtumble's dying days, worrying signs emerged that breaking the rules of time had also interfered with time itself. Tuesday after she returned to modern times lasted two and a half days, and Thursday was only four hours short. The Ministry of Magic has been in trouble to fix these insanities, and since then, the strictest regulations and penalties have been enacted for the study of time travel. ”
"These are the words of Professor Saul Croaker of the Department of Mysteries, a member of the Silent Clan, a master of magical theory who has devoted his life to the study of the magic of time."
"It wasn't until after 1899 that the laws restricting time travel came into effect, and the earliest time travelers, reliably documented, even date back to the ninth century AD, the great wizard Merlin."
Merlin was one of the first students in Hogwarts history, was assigned to Slytherin House and became one of the greatest wizards of all time, founding the Order of Sir Merlin, dedicated to the cause of Muggle equality, and later King Arthur's assistant and advisor, as well as court mage. Hogwarts was founded around the 10th century AD. The legend of King Arthur is a matter of the 6th century AD. ”
"From this, we know for sure that Merlin was born after the establishment of Hogwarts, traveled back in time to the sixth century, and stayed there for a considerable period of time, leaving behind many stories."
Hearing this shocking revelation, Ollivander exclaimed:
"It turns out Merlin is a time traveler, no wonder ·······"
The reason why many things go undiscovered is that no one has looked into them.
Merlin's secret has always been there, but no one thought about it until it was revealed.
"Wait, does this have anything to do with my question? You haven't proven your identity yet, answer my question! Answer my question head-on! ”
As soon as Ollivander, who reacted, wanted to raise his wand, he saw a little red light flash in front of him, and subconsciously used the most familiar talisman charm.
"Faint!" "Except for your weapons!"
The powerful Stun Charm pierced the talisman spell, knocking him unconscious, knocking him to the shelves behind him, and then being overwhelmed by the cardboard box containing his wand.
The disarming charm struck him immediately, and the wand flew to Hermione's outstretched left hand, where she caught it steadily.
"I'm sorry, but I had to do it too····· Forget it! ”
Wizards are very sensitive to spells, and it is difficult to say how long the effects of the Stuna Charm last.
In order to prevent long nights and dreams, Hermione, who claimed to be the Minister of Magic, modified Ollivanders' memories during this time, adding a memory that had already been made up.
"I'm sorry I hid it from you just now, but I have to make sure that history is not tampered with."
