The lead-gray sky is covered with dark clouds, and after autumn, the light rain brings a hint of coolness.

Several people didn't have umbrellas, and let the silky light rain fall on them.

After a while, my hair was covered with tiny droplets.

They bowed their heads and mourned for a moment in front of the tombstone, then took a deep look and turned to leave.

The dead are gone, and what the living have to do is to continue on the path they have not yet taken.

"Let's go, I'm feeling terrible right now, and I really want a drink."

Sirius's forehead was dotted with tiny droplets, and his face was pale, and the jagged stubble grew savagely on his lips, looking decadent and lonely.

"Have a drink? Good idea, Sirius, it's a great thing to have a drink on this weather. ”

Dumbledore stretched out his hand, and Zhang Xiao put his hand on it.

Phantom shifting, it's such a handy magic, I really want to learn it

With a crackling sound, the ancient cemetery became empty again, and a griquill-like drizzle rushed to fill the empty space.

Contentedly occupy the entire cemetery.

The old mansion of the Black family has completely changed, and Zhang Xiao's elves have faithfully completed their mission.

The floor became brighter, and the whole room was filled with magic candles, which emitted light comparable to light bulbs, illuminating the whole room.

The moldy wallpaper on the walls had been replaced with new ones, the portraits had been wiped clean and clean though they could not move, and many Muggle paintings had been found in the Black family's warehouse.

So these purebloods are high-sounding on the surface, but in fact the body is more honest than the other.

Just like two years ago, Zhang Chengdao said that he would open up trade exchanges between the East and the West.

Good fellows, decaying purebloods aside, the active purebloods all have companies, maybe of different sizes, but they allow them to enjoy a good Muggle life.

As for the "Wizarding Secrecy Law" - please, if the secret is leaked, it is called a violation of the Secrecy Law, and if the secret is not leaked, it is a waste of paper.

As long as there is no leak, the Ministry of Magic will be cross-examined, and the purebloods will naturally be able to handle it.

Maybe you'll need some trivial help from magic in the operation, but who knows?

Sirius was stunned for a moment when the entire old mansion had changed, and then came to the living room on the second floor.

The roaring fireplace quickly filled the living room with warmth.

"Kreacher, go get some wine."

Sirius tossed herself into the soft armchair, stared at the roaring fireplace, and whispered.

What had happened in the cave had made Kreacher's attitude much better, and instead of cursing Sirius in a low voice, he had become somewhat silent.

Around his neck was Regulus's pendant box, the contents of which they had already read, and Sirius had only become so decadent after reading the note.

It bent down to give Sirius a deep bow and vanished, and when it reappeared, it had a large tray in its hand, with the mead Dumbledore wanted and Sirius' whiskey.

and non-alcoholic butterbeer, which is for Zhang Xiao.

"Ah, it's nice to be around the fireplace and have a hot mead in this weather."

Dumbledore raised his glass and gestured, smiling with enjoyment.

Sirius replied that Sirius looked up and drank a small half glass of pure whiskey with ice.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiao still asked:

"Sirius, what's next for you? Harry will soon be in school. ”

Sirius shook his head with a wry smile and said confusedly:

"I don't know."

Dumbledore rested his elbows on the armrests, his slender fingers tapping the walls of the cup rhythmically, and whispered:

"Sirius, I think Zhang's advice is very good, you should have your own life.

Harry grew up fast, he's a great little wizard and will soon have a life of his own, you know what I mean. ”

Sirius, of course, knew that Harry would soon be in love, married, and have children of his own, and that he would not be able to live with him all the time.

Maybe this time will be longer, but people will be different.

"You're the only one left in the Black family, Sirius."

"But I don't like the Black family, look at the elf heads on the walls, look at the ridiculous things they do, I-"

"Sirius, it's not the family that determines what a person becomes, it's the people who decide the family, right?

See, even the oldest and most stubborn Black family still has characters like Andomida, Alphard, you and Regulus. ”

Dumbledore said meaningfully, his half-moon lenses reflecting the fire in the fireplace, which in Zhang Xiao's opinion was a 'flash of wisdom'.

It is not the family that determines the person, but the person who determines the family.

Sirius leaned forward and held the glass in his hand, Now that I'm the only one left in Black, I can decide where the Black family goes?

"I'm thinking, I'm thinking—"

Zhang Xiao put down the cup and asked politely:

"Professor Dumbledore, there are some things in the old mansion that have been permanently pasted under the spell, and the elves can't do anything, can you please do me a favor?"

Dumbledore immediately understood what Zhang Xiao meant, and he said happily:

"Of course."

Leaving a private space for Sirius to think, the old and the young slowly descended to the first floor, where the escalator finally stopped crunching and was replaced by a very strong thud.

"Professor, what are you going to do with this pendant?"

"Zhang, your grandfather once told me that he could take a fragment of Voldemort's soul—oh, something that should be called 'spirit' out of it—without damaging the original thing.

I think maybe we can wait for us to find a little more, and ask your grandfather to cast that magic spell and keep these precious things. ”

Grandpa still communicated with the principal like this?

This coincides with my own thinking, and it is indeed a pity to destroy a few things of the founder like this, whether it can be kept or retained.

But even if it's a grandfather, I'm afraid I can't imagine that there is a talent like Voldemort who has been directly split seven times

The elf head on the wall has been removed.

All that remains is the 'mad portrait' of Mrs. Black.

"Oh, is this the portrait?" Dumbledore looked at the portrait carefully for a moment, and with great interest, he used his wand to draw down the gap between the portrait and the wall:

"Excellent permanent paste charm, but that's not what makes it impossible for you to take it off - look here."

Dumbledore suddenly tapped the wall skin with his wand, Zhang Xiao leaned over, frowned and looked at it for a while, and asked uncertainly:

"Professor, what is this?"

"Super glue - made with a kind of magical animal snot, the effect is very good, it can be called a universal glue, but the production is limited, the price is expensive, and it is very rare in the market."

ZHANG Xiao:.

It's outrageous, in order to take down this portrait before, he also tried it himself, which made him almost doubt his life at that time.

Even if it's a permanent spell, why stop yourself? I'm even in full swing!

So you play yin? Ostensibly a permanent paste spell, but in fact super glue?

It's so firmly glued, it can't be that the entire back of the portrait is covered over?

"This glue is very good at resisting spells, and almost all means can't do anything with it, but there is one thing that works wonders - and that is the saliva of that magical animal."

Dumbledore made a slight gesture:

"It only takes a little bit to get rid of the whole glue, which is amazing."

All things are born and restrained by each other, normal and normal.

Because of the rarity of these fantastic creatures, Dumbledore's office happened to have some stock, and he decided to send Sirius some when he got back to school.

"Professor, there's another thing I'm very curious about."

Taking advantage of the opportunity now, Zhang Xiao suddenly remembered one thing:

"Time Turner, can you really go back in time?"

"Oh? Zhang: Do you already know the props that the school has prepared for you? ”

Dumbledore smiled ho-ho, clearly in a good mood.

Props?

Zhang Xiao keenly grasped this keyword, generally speaking, things that can reverse time can be called rare treasures even in high martial arts.

Now use a prop to describe the time converter.

In fact, he has always been very interested in the time converter, even if there are many limitations, but if it is operated well, this thing must be an artifact.

If nothing else, every day he would meditate on the answers to the questions I needed to know, and write them on a blank sheet of paper on the table in front of him.

Theoretically, you can really get an answer right away.

There are a bunch of bugs about whether the time turner satisfies Novikov's principle of self-consistency, or the so-called parallel intersection.

Even many people are complaining that this thing is too rebellious, and Aunt Luo destroyed it all overnight.

The most important thing is that this thing is actually for the little wizard!

This is also the point that makes Zhang Xiao doubt the most, because one thing, as long as it is valuable, will never be the turn of a little wizard, even if it is an excellent little wizard.

Dumbledore may be selfless, but others will not, whether in the wizarding world, the Daomen, or even the ordinary world.

Because it's human nature.

It's like a supercomputer being completely handed over to a good high school student.

Highlight an outrageous.

The only reason it could be put in the hands of a young wizard was that it didn't serve as much as it was supposed to do, and it had little value to the big guys.

"Zhang, we usually don't tell students about these things, but if it's you, I think we can relax the conditions appropriately."

Dumbledore was overjoyed to find two chairs in the foyer, and he beckoned to pull them over.

After thinking carefully for a while, he said slowly:

"First of all, we must clarify the concept that time is irreversible, and of course I don't know if there is a great being in the entire universe who can reverse time.

But at least wizards can't. ”

So what's the deal with the time turner?

Zhang Xiao looked at him suspiciously, quietly waiting for the following.

"Ah, I have a brilliant analogy in mind." Dumbledore slapped suddenly: "Although Professor Lockhart has caused us a lot of trouble.

But he also did good things, like Professor Lockhart's narration, that got me interested in Muggle films.

I'll tell you quietly, I've watched a lot of movies in my free time this summer, and I personally like Chaplin very much - oh, a little off topic.

Zhang, let's make a hypothesis. ”

Dumbledore didn't know when he picked up his wand, and with a flick of it, an old-fashioned hand-cranked player appeared in front of them.

It's the kind that's similar to a projector, where a light source shines on the negative and reflects it on the wall.

Zhang Xiao also twisted her body to find a more comfortable position.

"Zhang, let's say our world is film, and our life is watching movies.

The past is what you have seen, and the future is unknown.

We may be able to rewind and watch the past life somehow, but just by watching, you can't change the plot that has already been played.

All we can change is the future.

Do you understand when I say that? ”

Understand! Of course I understand, Zhang Xiao has automatically brought the things in front of her into her previous life to watch the drama, and the website has settings, so you can only pull back but can't fast forward.

What about the time converter?

"Zhang, do you know what prophecy is?"

Dumbledore took off his eyes, and his azure eyes stared directly at the frowning young man in front of him.

He is different from the others, usually always gentle and elegant, with a faint smile, and seems to be able to get along with anyone.

Those brown eyes occasionally have a surprising glow.

In the face of a crisis, the raised eyebrows are like two long knives, as if they want to cut everything to pieces.

This is the most outstanding young man he has ever seen, even if he has counted a long life, he may have seen many excellent young people.

But no one can compare to this teenager.

The fullness of his life is enviable, even enviable.

If there is really a so-called God, then God must be eccentric, and he stuffs all the beauty of the world into Zhang.

The young man's eyebrows twitched, as if he understood something, and then with questions:

"The prophecy may have been a barrage of spoilers — ah no, a glimpse of the future script?"

Dumbledore ignored the strange thing in front of him and nodded slightly:

That's pretty much what it means, and in fact the prophecy is that someone stands in this moment, occasionally looking into a corner of the future.

So let's talk about the time converter. ”

Dumbledore cocked up a finger.

"To put it simply, the time converter doesn't take you back in time, it just creates 'another you' in sync.

When you bring a time converter or will use it in the future, you are marked in this movie.

It activates the 'other you' during the period you 'use', the 'you' with the memories of the period you 'used'.

In fact, you and 'you' are living in sync.

When the 'use' is over, the 'your' memories will merge with you, creating the illusion that you are back in the past.

That's it. Time Converter. ”

Zhang Xiao was dumbfounded, and her heart was like 10,000 horses galloping across the grassland.

It's magical! It's so idealistic!

Zhang Xiao was shocked.

1. Commuter pass 2. Recommended ticket

I've been thinking about the time converter for a few years, and I feel that there are bugs everywhere, and I chose a setting that I think can explain most of the situations.

But there will definitely be bugs, so you can only weaken the time converter as much as possible.
