According to Nicol Lemay, even after a hundred years, the time turner now being released by the Department of Mysteries is still not a complete version.

The energy of time is too mysterious for wizards to fully grasp from ancient times to the present.

If the energy of time is misused without a full understanding, the most likely thing that will happen is to completely collapse the timeline like the silent man of the late nineteenth century, Eloence Mintoubre, and she herself dies in the river of time.

For this reason, the Ministry of Magic had to impose various restrictions on the use of the time-turner, so as to ensure that the timeline would not have such a major accident as it had in the past.

However, the Department of Mysteries is reluctant to abandon the huge treasure of time energy, and wants to continue to advance the research of time energy.

As a result, they need more time travel samples for deduction.

It was precisely because of this need that the Silent Man of the Department of Mysteries came up with a way to increase the number of research samples through the Little Wizard.

The young wizards who excelled in learning were guaranteed by the Hogwarts professors and the Headmaster to be good students who were willing to follow the rules and obey the school's arrangements, and were able to ensure that they used the time-turner to the maximum extent possible within the strict rules.

Of course, it is not enough to rely on the consciousness of the young wizards and the guarantee of the professors.

The Ministry of Magic has added a second layer of insurance to this: a one-hour reversal charm is applied to the Time Turner to increase stability when used. The number of times you turn the hourglass placed on the time turner corresponds to the number of hours the wizard has gone back in time, and each time you turn it, you can go back by an hour.

The time turner can be rotated up to five times, which means that it can go back up to five hours.

Five hours is the maximum amount of time that the Department of Mysteries Time Room can recur to ensure a stable timeline.

It has been calculated that in a five-hour period, the timeline's self-compensating ability can restore the vast majority of changed events and make those events logically self-consistent.

In addition, because the young wizards are not yet fully developed, the magic power in their bodies usually does not grow to the peak naturally, and driving these wizards to return to time can save a lot of time and energy.

So giving the little wizards access to the time converter is a great idea!

But the silent people could not have imagined that there would be such an unreasonable professor at Hogwarts who would actually cheat the time turner from his own students......

Dracula leaned back on the bookshelf in his office, chuckling and playing with the timer, then stretched out his slender index finger and casually tossed the hourglass in the metal ring of the timer's locket five times.

The next moment, although he was still quietly leaning on the bookshelf, without the slightest movement, he felt that he was flying backwards extremely fast.

Dracula's eyes swept across all sorts of cloud-like shapes; At the same time, there seemed to be something knocking in his ears, and he was even a little annoyed by the knocking.

So he blocked out some of his senses, then turned his head to look out the window.

Dracula could vaguely see the blue sky outside the window changing like a fast-forwarding movie, and countless magnificent clouds fluttering rapidly. ….

Gradually, the sun hanging high in the sky receded silently, gradually setting at the end of the Black Lagoon in the distance, obscured by the low hills of the Scottish Highlands, and finally leaving only a circle of golden flashes.

The bright sky gradually darkened, and Xingdou quietly pushed away the white clouds, occupying the sky that should have been shining in the sun.

After a long time, the clouds and mist in front of me disappeared, and the tapping sound in my ears stopped.

Dracula grabbed the time-turner in his left hand and pushed open the office door with his right hand to the hallway to look out at Hogwarts in the distance.

At dawn, a golden light pierced the curtain of stars at the end of the black lake, quietly illuminating the darkest hour of the day.

It was still dark, and this was the time of day when Dracula admired it the most.

There is no dazzling sunlight, nor does it belong to the eternal darkness, and between light and darkness reach a maximum

Good balance.

Dracula, who belonged to this time period, should be standing on the shore of the Black Lake by now, enjoying the games of the giant squid in the lake and the little wizards who played all night in the Slytherin common room......

Dracula happily slipped the time-turner into his pocket, then jumped directly over the railing of the hallway, ready to fly to the Black Lake to surprise his past self.

However, in the process of jumping, Dracula suddenly saw the black and red cloak flying behind him, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought......

If you meet your past self in your representative clothes, won't you be instantly recognized?

It is a trivial matter to go against the image of the hooded man he saw before, and Dracula doesn't care about such a complicated and difficult thing as the law of time; But if you let your past self find out in advance that it is your future self who shuttles back to fight with you, then things will be a big deal.

Dracula understands that with his own acuity, as long as he lets his past self discover the slightest clue, then he will immediately understand the truth of the matter "with a clear heart".

In this way, he will be able to guess all kinds of magic that he will use and guard against it.

Even if the idea of wanting to fight with yourself will not change, but if you let your past self know that the attacker is your own identity, then this kind of sneak attack will immediately become much less fun.

Not only that, but Dracula has already finished a fight and has a prescient advantage over his own moves in the past.

If he lets his past self discover the truth of the matter, then he will definitely change his strategy to deal with the enemy. Pull a hair and move the whole body, so that the advantage of foresight is very likely to be gone.

Without the advantage of foresight, combined with the inability to use the signature magic that revealed himself, and the inability to use the eerie wood wand that was already in his hands, Dracula really could lose to his past self in this disadvantage.

This is something he can't accept at all.

It's too shameless to lose to your past self!

Dracula glanced up at the sky, saw the golden light at the end of the black lake in the distance slowly moving upward, and knew that there was not much time left for dawn, and he couldn't help but feel some urgency in his heart.

He summoned a round of Darkmoon and teleported to the Lady Morkin clothing store in Diagon Alley, where he prepared to pick out a set of clothes that would hide his identity. ….

The chubby Mrs. Morkin, as always dedicated, got up early in the morning and came to the store, humming a song while arranging the various wizard costumes in the store, looking very relaxed.

The next moment, Dracula, dressed in black and red, suddenly appeared in the store, startling her.

"You...... Who are you? Beat...... Robbery?" Lady Morkin shuddered and raised her wand and pointed it at Dracula.

Then, she saw Dracula's long silver hair and handsome and bevelous face.

Her face immediately relaxed, and even became a little rosy, "Ah, this gentleman, I guess you must not be a bad person."

She lowered her wand and quietly looked at Dracula out of the corner of her eye.

"Well, hurry up, get me a hooded cloak that I can wear now." Time was ticking, Dracula said in a race against time.

"Ah, are you in a hurry?" Lady Morkin asked with some surprise, "If you want me to say, you have to wear custom-made wizarding robes to wear the most handsome clothes like yours...... It's sure to look good in whatever you're wearing."

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get a set of clothes that fit me, and use it urgently." Dracula interrupted Madame Morkin's flattery, irritating, and quickly ordered, "Preferably the kind that covers the whole body so that no one else will recognize me."

"Uh...... Huh?" Mrs. Morkin's eyes widened.

She's starting to get a little scared again.

Who is it that wants to hide his image? Could it be that this is a dark wizard who is about to go out and commit murder? Will he kill himself for the sake of secrecy after he gets the clothes?

It's no wonder that Madame Morkin is timid, a man in black

Appeared in her shop before dawn, and as soon as she came in, she asked for a dress that could cover her whole body and make others unrecognizable, and she couldn't wait for a moment, who wouldn't be afraid?

Of course, if that person is handsome, it might make the fear lessen a little bit......

"What are you doing here, hurry up and find it." Impatiently, Dracula pulled out a large bag of gold galleons from the pocket where the Traceless Stretching Charm had been cast, and threw it at the counter of Lady Morkin's clothing store, "That's enough, right?"

"Enough is enough!" When Madame Morkin saw the weight of the bag of gold galleons, she immediately smiled, "This money is almost enough to buy all the clothes in our family!"

"Then go ahead and remember my request!" Dracula said coldly.

"Okay!" Mrs. Morkin nodded, and went to find clothes for Dracula.

As for whether this is a dark wizard who is about to commit murder?

No kidding! Such a handsome man, he is still so rich, why is it bad to do, why do you have to do bad things?

Driven by her ability to make money, Lady Morkin acted very quickly.

In less than two minutes, she magically pulled out a gorgeous red wizard's cloak from the warehouse, embroidered with intricate patterns, and a large hood behind it, which was completely able to hide her face.

In addition to the cape, Madame Morkin also provided Dracula with matching gloves, shoes, a mask, and an inner lining to keep Dracula's skin exposed. ….

Satisfied, Dracula changed into a gorgeous red cloak in the fitting room, put on a mask and gloves, and stood in front of the fitting mirror to take a look.

Sure enough, he saw the hooded man before and appeared in front of him again.

"Honorable guest, your temperament is matched by this outfit, you are simply the leader of the wizarding world!" The fitting mirror said flatteringly.

The mirrors of the wizarding world are like this, and they always like to talk to the people who look in the mirror and point out their image problems.

Clothing stores are different, where mirrors prefer to praise people and urge them to pay their bills.

Dracula glanced at the fitting mirror, and he didn't know how he could see his temperament and appearance in this mirror when he was wrapped so tightly......

Ignoring the boring fitting mirror and Mrs. Morkin waiting outside to talk to him again, Dracula walked straight out of Mrs. Morkin's clothing store and left Diagon Alley with a round of Dark Moon.

Then, he picked up a random branch of a pine tree on the high ground where Hogwarts was located, and stuffed a hair of his own into it as a shortened wand.

Dracula didn't want to use a wand in the first place, but making this abbreviated version of the wand didn't work well.

But wizards throughout the wizarding world are more accustomed to fighting with wands, and there may not be many wizards like Dracula who can cast spells without a wand at a higher level than wands.

If he put down his wand and didn't use it, just casting spells without a wand would reach the top level of the Great Wizard level, then Dracula in the past would have realized the problem without thinking about it.

Luckily, Dracula had gained a lot of wand-making experience by studying Ron's ash wand that fired spells upside down, so the improvised wand wasn't completely unusable......

The starlight slowly faded, and the golden light at the end of the black lake gradually filled the entire horizon.

Before the end of dawn, Dracula, dressed in a gorgeous red cloak, finally caught up with this duel between his future and his past self.

With his thickly gloved hand, he waved the wand in his hand that was too ordinary to be ordinary—

A crimson blade of light shot at the silver-haired figure who was watching the scenery by the lake.

I have to admit that there really was a trace of murderous intent in his heart.

Dracula wants to try to see how his current self will be affected if he really kills his past self......

However, the figure by the lake was alert at the moment when the killing intent emerged, and suddenly turned sideways to dodge the attack.

The end of the blade grazed his dangerously

The throat swept by, and flew into the water without the slightest stagnation, and the lake was split in half in an instant, and the dividing line drawn by the air on the surface of the lake did not disperse for a long time.

On the dividing line, many swimming fish are cut into two sections, and the cut surface is as smooth as a mirror.

"How many years...... "The figure by the lake turned his palm and looked at the slender and slender fingertips, his eyes a little dazed.

[In view of the general environment, his pale fingertips were stained with a drop of bright red blood, and that drop of blood seemed to be exuding a strange luster.

"I haven't experienced what it's like to be hurt in years." He gently licked the blood off his fingertips, revealing the two side teeth on the side of his mouth.

"Then I want to know, who are you?"

Dracula didn't speak, just stood quietly in place.

He was worried that as soon as he opened his mouth, even if he changed his voice, his experience from ancient times to the present day had created his unique way of using words and language habits, which would easily be discovered by his past self.

So, Dracula proved his intentions with his actions -

He slowly raised the wand in his hand that was too ordinary to be ordinary.
