371 Curtains and Curtains, Time Turner, The Final Experiment

371 Curtains and Curtains, Time Turner, The Final Experiment

The three of them were still a little confused when they left the Three Broomsticks Bar - Lucius actually successfully cast the Patronus Charm?

How can this be?

Real dark wizards do not have the ability to summon a Patronus. They will only be eaten by the conjured maggots - for example, the dark wizard Larch Dean, who backfired when he tried to use the Patronus spell and died in the conjured maggots. In maggots.

But Lucius Malfoy didn't fail?

As early as after the Acromantula incident, several people assumed that he was already a dark wizard - because at that time, Lucius showed not only a negative personality, he even wanted to kill an innocent life - also That's Ted.

"This is impossible!" After standing still on the street for a long time, Snape clenched his fists and said, "Lucius can't really summon the Patronus!"

"But even if he can deceive Ted, can he still deceive Principal Dumbledore?" Lily asked doubtfully: "The principal must be able to tell whether his patronus is real or fake."

Karan didn't speak, but he suddenly thought of something - after becoming a Death Eater, Snape could also summon the Patronus, but that was because his love for Lily changed him and did not allow him to completely change himself. Corruption——What could be the reason for Lucius?

Love for Narcissa?

But Narcissa has graduated, and few people have no way of knowing where she is now or what she is doing...

"Forget it, let's get busy with other things first." Karan finally said, "We can't waste the whole day on Lucius."

So they went to Gobstone's shop next. Even though Mrs. Prince kept saying that Snape didn't need to come back, she still took out a lot of snacks and snacks that had been bought in advance for Lily and Callan. Later, Steve and Greg Spader also came with him - Steve couldn't move as soon as he saw the dazzling array of Gobstone games on the shelves, while Gaspard was staring at Callan intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes clearly saying: Jump jump pot jump jump pot jump jump pot.

"It's so bright!"

Lily covered her eyes, then she came to her senses and angrily covered one side of Guspard's glasses, and Snape tacitly covered the other side.

"OK OK."

Karan stood up helplessly: "Let's go to my house first."

Gaspard's glasses finally stopped flashing.

The two returned to Karan's home together. Under the watchful eye of Gaspard, Karan lifted up the floor of the living room under the carpet, revealing a tightly locked box.After casting several unlocking spells, the box was finally opened. Inside was the jumping cauldron wrapped in the Deathly Hallows invisibility cloak.

"Remember to be careful when doing research." Karan warned.

Gaspard turned his head, lowered his head and smiled: "Don't worry."

Although they felt that the smile on Gaspard's face was not right, Callan and Snape had long given up on continuing to study the jumping cauldron through potions. They agreed that perhaps alchemy would be more effective.

After getting the jumping cauldron, Gaspard couldn't wait to return to Hogwarts through the secret passage. Kallan didn't know exactly how he planned to study the jumping cauldron, but Kalan soon lost his mind to continue caring about this matter. .

In a week's time, it will be the first full moon since school started.

Remus was troubled by the location of his transformation, especially after the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the second week, and he couldn't help but find Kahlan.

"Is that really the Room of Requirement?"

At the corner of the corridor, Remus asked in a low voice: "Is this where I will transform tomorrow?"

Karan stared at Lucius's back thoughtfully, and then gradually came back to his senses after he disappeared.

"Don't worry." Karan turned around and comforted: "The Room of Requirement will change according to the user's requirements. The principal will not let you stay in that kind of room. By the way, Principal Dumbledore has said when to let you stay in that room." Are you ready to transform?"

After learning the agreed time, Karan returned to the dormitory. Steve ran away unknown where. There was only one magic tent standing in the corner in the entire dormitory - this was Gespard's alchemy tent. After the jumping cauldron, Gaspard spent all his free time studying the jumping cauldron and rarely came out of the magic tent.

Karan sat on the sofa. He stared at the magic tent for a while, but there was no sound from inside.

"Gespard?" he called tentatively.

There was still no movement in the magic tent.

Karan couldn't sit still - the only thing that could resist the jumping cauldron was the Deathly Hallows Invisibility Cloak, and it was difficult for him not to worry about what might be wrong with the invisibility cloak.

So Karan stood up from the sofa. He reached out and pushed the tent curtain, but it didn't open - this was the protective magic of the magic tent at work.

"what's up?"

Gaspard finally came out, but only his head was exposed. His hands pulled the door curtain tightly, and even his body was not exposed.

"Um..." Karan stared at him with strange eyes for a while: "I want to ask you how is the research progress of Tiao Tiao Cao? There is also a magic potion to cure werewolves -"

"It went very well." Gaspard replied immediately, as if he was worried that Karan would not believe it. He also added: "Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, the research results will be available. The powders you collected before are very useful. Coupled with the jumping cauldron, new discoveries will soon be made.”

This is one of the few pieces of good news in recent times. Although the wolfsbane potion could not be developed at once, it is always good to gain something.

Gaspard quickly returned to the tent. Although Karan felt a little strange, he still didn't bother him - Karan couldn't help much in terms of alchemy, let alone he had more important things to do. Go get ready.

The next day, after the last Potions class, Karan secretly came to the eighth floor of the castle, and then he sent a message using magic gold coins. Not long after, a door appeared on the blank wall in front of him. .

The pale Remus opened the door carefully, and Karan walked in in a flash.

"You're right." After closing the door, Remus said thankfully: "The room I transformed into is indeed different from the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom."

Karan looked around carefully. This time, the changes in the Room of Requirement were somewhat similar to that of the Shrieking Shack, with the same comfortable layout.

Karan walked to a chair and sat down. He took out a sandwich from his schoolbag and handed it over: "Did the principal bring you here?"

Remus took the sandwich but didn't eat it. The approaching full moon made him lose his appetite. He nodded and said: "The Disillusionment Curse, the principal used the Disillusionment Curse on me and himself, so that no one could see us coming here. .”

This was something that Callan and Remus had discussed long ago - first let Remus be led to the Room of Requirement, and then let Callan sneak over to cast the Restoration Charm on Remus.

Although transforming in the castle seems a bit dangerous, werewolves are inherently different and will lose all their sanity after transforming - this means that Remus can't even open the door, and the Room of Requirement is inherently special, and No one could have imagined the opening password - a room similar to the Shrieking Shack.

Time passed little by little while chatting. This time, Remus did not refuse to drink the hypnotic drug that Karan had prepared in advance. After he lay on the bed and fell asleep, Karan pulled up a chair and sat opposite him. Aim the elder wand at Remus' body.

Not long after, the full moon gradually rose, and Remus' body began to change little by little. His clothes turned into hair, his head lengthened, and his hands turned into claws——

"Veriz!"

Karan immediately recited the spell. When the spell hit Remus' body, the moonlight scene appeared again in front of Karan's eyes. The Forbidden One stood not far in front of him, watching. The specific appearance is unclear, but the other person's arm is slowly raising in an attempt to contact Karan.

A feeling of madness and confusion hit Karan - this was much more serious than the weak influence of the Horcrux. Karan only glanced at the Forbidden One in the moonlight, and then immediately retracted his mind and focused on the spell to restore human form. above.

Finally, the moonlight dissipated, and the Taboo dispersed like smoke. The werewolf in front of him turned into Remus again, and Karan sat on the chair and silently recovered his strength.

The effects of the hypnotic were still there, and Remus did not wake up.

Karan had no intention of waking up Remus now. Instead, he helped Remus up and used wandless magic to easily lead him to the door of the Room of Requirement, then opened the door and walked out.

The dim corridor was silent, with not a single human figure. The moonlight shone quietly through the window. Karan placed Remus's body in the corner of the wall and took out Steve's prepared body from his pocket. The invisibility cloak covered Remus' body.

Then he faced the blank wall again and said silently in his heart.

"I need an empty, quiet classroom."

"I need an empty, quiet classroom."

"I need an empty, quiet classroom."

A door appeared on the wall again. Karan didn't hesitate, he opened the door and walked in.

A cold feeling of despair hit Karan, and the torches on the wall were burning. Karan looked around and confirmed in his heart that this was the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, where they learned the Patronus Charm.

The password was told to Karan by Pandora - [an empty and quiet classroom].It was precisely because of this password that Karan felt something was wrong and decided to come here secretly tonight.

Because this password is so ordinary - so ordinary that it is not even [a classroom dedicated to practicing the Patronus Charm].

Where did the sense of despair that filled the classroom come from?

Karan originally thought this was a change provided by the Room of Requirement itself, but now it seems that it is no longer the case.

He raised the wand in his hand and walked warily towards the only thing that was wrong - the black curtain at the back of the classroom.

Even without any breeze blowing, the curtains were fluttering gently.

It's like there's something behind it.

When Karan walked about five meters in front of the curtain, he stopped silently. He controlled a wooden board on the wooden box to float up, and carefully opened the curtain. The wand in his hand was still pointed in the direction of the curtain.

The curtains were pushed aside by the boards, revealing what was covered up.

The black witch robe, gray body, about three meters tall, looked like a rotting corpse, constantly exuding cold air and deeper despair.

It turned out to be a dementor!

There is a Dementor hidden behind the curtain!

Karan held the wand tighter, and he almost couldn't hold back and cast the Patronus Charm, but fortunately, he discovered in time that something was wrong with the dementor's state - the other party seemed to have fallen into a coma, or was in a deep sleep. He just stayed motionless and did not attack Karan.

Karan shifted his gaze to the lifted curtain. He stared at it for a while and suddenly frowned - if it was really this curtain that trapped the dementors...

Inexplicably, he felt that this curtain was somewhat like the arched curtains of the Department of Mysteries - perhaps this was the only way to truly trap the dementors in the classroom without harming any students.

But the one who could do this would definitely not be Lucius Malfoy, a student who had just graduated one year ago.

Dumbledore!

It can only be Dumbledore who has the Elder Wand!

It was he who trapped the dementors here, and it was he who created this black curtain - because the other owner of the Elder Wand - Antioch, had also personally entered behind the curtain, and with his other two Brothers together.

Callan didn't know whether Principal Dumbledore had imitated Antioch's behavior, but he definitely studied Antioch's experience with the Elder Wand and learned about the special features of the arch bridge's curtains, so he copied it to Inside the Room of Requirement.

Although he gradually understood all this, Karan's heart became increasingly heavy.

He didn't understand what Headmaster Dumbledore's purpose was in imprisoning the dementor - but now there was a non-being in the Room of Requirement, and one of the former founders had done something similar.

The non-being in the ruins of the Forbidden Lake, and Salazar Slytherin.

Plus the thief Dobby shows up before school starts...

Callan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he thought of a ridiculous but extremely terrifying possibility - the person who sent Dobby was Lucius Malfoy. This may also be one of the conditions for Principal Dumbledore to recruit Lucius. And his purpose is exactly the jumping cauldron - a magical item from the dark ages, a mysterious thing that can transform non-existence.

Principal Dumbledore may be imitating Slytherin’s behavior!

The wooden board fell on the box, and the curtain fell, hiding the Dementor again.

Callan ran out of the classroom quickly. He summoned the room where Remus had transformed again. After placing the sleeping Remus on the bed, he put on Steve's invisibility cloak without looking back. Run to the dormitory.

If the jumping cauldron is really Principal Dumbledore's purpose - Callan knows that he is powerless to stop it, but he still has a way!

Hide the jumping cauldron forever instead of taking it to Hogwarts and delivering it to Principal Dumbledore in person!

That is something that the school motivator is willing to forget the memories of the entrants to prevent - no matter what is behind the stone door on the third floor of the giant snake statue, Karan can temporarily put aside all curiosity, just to stop Dumbledore The principal makes the same mistake again!

Could it be that... Principal Dumbledore was really influenced by the Forbidden One?

Antioch learned about Slytherin's experiment and passed his will to Principal Dumbledore through the Elder Wand? !

No matter how you think about it, this is very consistent with Linfred’s horrific experiments that Antioch conducted in his later years!

Perhaps Antioch's ambitions include more than just the Elder Wand and blood magic.

And non-being!

Karan suddenly pushed open the door of the dormitory, put away the invisibility cloak again, and walked quickly to the magic tent.

"Gespard!"

He shouted: "Come out, Gespard!"

The magic tent was silent, and Karan couldn't be sure whether he was conducting experiments in those special rooms, or whether he had accidentally let the jumping cauldron be snatched away...

When Karan thought of this possibility, he couldn't wait any longer. He took out the elder wand without any scruples and pointed it at the curtain of the magic tent.

"I hope you know how to fix the magic tent."

He murmured in a low voice, set up soundproof protective spells around him in advance, and then shouted loudly: "Thunderbolt explosion!"

The spell hit the curtain, and a violent explosion sounded immediately, and a hole was opened in the fragile fabric and protective magic.

Karan waved his hands twice to cover up the smoke. He was about to rush into the tent, but was suddenly stopped by two dazzling lights.

"What are you crazy about?!"

Gaspard walked out with a livid face, holding a bottle of discolored powder in his hand. It seemed to be the progress that Gaspard had mentioned, but he had no intention of explaining its use at this time. He kept shining his lighted glasses hard on Karan!

"Stop making trouble!" Karan shouted, covering his eyes: "Is the jumping pot still there with you?"

Gaspard paused suddenly, his glasses flickering like a lightbulb that was about to run out of power.

"Of course it's here with me." He stood straight at the door of the ruined tent without moving away: "I was just doing experiments."

Callan felt bad when he saw him like this, and coupled with his suspicions about Principal Dumbledore, this even made Callan begin to doubt the authenticity of Gaspard's identity - maybe he was a certain person. Thief in disguise!

"Let me in!" Karan frowned and said.

Gaspar remained motionless, and his glasses began to flash again: "Wait a minute."

Karan's brows furrowed even more, and he pointed the wand at Gaspard without hesitation: "Get out of the way!"

Gaspard's glasses finally stopped flashing. He stared at the tip of Callan's wand for a few seconds, then silently stepped aside.

"What are you crazy about?" He also frowned and said, "Are you so dissatisfied with "Karan's Observation Diary"?"

Karan didn't say anything. He cautiously grabbed Gaspard's wand, asked him to stand aside, and then immediately walked into the magic tent.

The layout here has not changed much. There are alchemy props all around. At the same time, the sharp-eyed Karan immediately discovered that the door of the compartment numbered [7] was slightly opened with a gap - this is the place where the most dangerous magic items are studied. , just right for studying the dangerous existence of jumping pot.

He glanced back at Gespard, and then walked toward the alchemy room warily. The door opened automatically under the urging of wandless magic.

After seeing the scene inside the door clearly, Karan's eyes suddenly widened.

"If I had known, I would have been here in 15 minutes."

Another Gospert appeared in front of Karan. He was covering the Deathly Hallows Invisibility Cloak on the jumping cauldron. Then he turned to look at Karan and silently pushed up his glasses.

"I don't know if I can stop you from destroying the magic tent if I go back now."

An unexpected situation occurred. Karan looked at the Gaspard in front of him, and then looked at the Gaspard at the door. The two Gaspards were also staring at him silently, and then the two glasses started to work at the same time. Flashes of light.

"Stop!"

Karan said angrily and full of absurdity: "You - you - is this a time turner? You have the nerve to call me a madman?!"

Gaspard, who was standing at the door, came over. He took back his wand and said at the same time: "I didn't expect you even knew about the time turner?"

Gaspard in the alchemy room pushed up his glasses: "I knew you were not simple."

Then the two glasses started to light up again, and the two Gaspards also showed weird smiles.

Karan was completely speechless - it was a good thing that Tiao Tiao Cao was safe, but he didn't expect that Gaspard would be so bold!

Gaspard in the normal timeline (the one who had the wand taken away) seemed to see Karan's thoughts. He explained: "Don't worry, I did the experiment when I was at home. As long as the moving area is Fixed within a certain range, the impact can be reduced to a negligible level. And the extra me can also help with alchemy experiments - this is the best assistant, and none of us can refuse."

Gaspard (the one in the alchemy room) 15 minutes ago also spoke up and said: "We all know the rules of time travel - it cannot be discovered by others, especially yourself in a different timeline. But in fact, this is also a matter of time travel. Human, as long as we don’t leave the magic tent and keep the secret, others won’t find anything wrong.”

Karan looked at the two Gaspards with strange eyes - using the time turner just to make experiments more convenient?

This really looks like something Gaspard could do!

"Then what should I do?" Karan then asked, "I saw you two at the same time!"

"Just stay in the magic tent for a while." Gespard himself said: "Until the past me disappears, don't cause any more trouble during this period, and nothing will happen."

Another Gespard continued: "We have to keep this secret from now on and don't let others know. If there is just one additional insider, we can still control it -"

"Gespard, and Karan!"

At this time, the door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Steve walked in with a lot of snacks. He shouted loudly: "Are you all in the dormitory? I just secretly took a lot of snacks from the kitchen." Yes, there is strawberry pudding, as well as fresh strawberries, as well as soda crackers and milk, which are all your favorites——"

His voice gradually became quieter. In front of him was a dusty dormitory, with a big hole in the magic tent. Karan and the two Gaspards were staring at him.

Steve had a confused expression on his face. He took a few steps back, looked at the house number on the door again, and then walked in even more confused.

He placed the snack on the coffee table that was not stained with dust, and stared at the two Gaspards for a while.

"It's over!!"

Steve suddenly grabbed his head and shouted in panic: "I'm going to die - oh no!"

"I'm going to disappear!!!"

"It's over! I'm going to disappear!!!"

There was a famous failed time travel - Héloïse Mintab was a mute in the Department of Mysteries. During the experiment of returning to the past, Héloïse was trapped in 1402 for five days.When she finally returned to the present, her body had aged five centuries and was irreparably damaged, eventually dying at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies.Her travels changed the life trajectories of everyone she met in the past, and at least 25 descendants disappeared from modern times and became "never born."Beyond that, there were some worrying signs that time in the past had also been disrupted: the Tuesday after she returned to the present day lasted a total of two and a half days, while Thursday lasted just four hours.

"Don't shout!" Gespard himself stopped him, but it had no effect at all, until Karan casually cast a spell and sealed Steve's mouth.

"What should we do now?" Karan turned around and asked.

The two Gaspards looked at each other silently.

"It's not like it can't be solved."

"At most, it's just one more person in the magic tent."

Although the method seemed a bit hasty, Karan reluctantly accepted the proposal in front of the two Gespards who swore by it.

All four of them were sitting in the magic tent, eating the snacks brought back by Steve. During this period, Karan finally knew what the bottle of discolored powder was - a potion to cure werewolves, but its effect was not yet clear. After all, no formal experiments have been conducted, and there is no guarantee that wolf disease can be completely cured. After all, the main raw material is Voldemort's blood magic powder.

"Try Remus next time." Karan said and put away the bottle of powder. He then asked: "What about the time turner? Where did you get it?"

Gaspard's answer was simple: "At home. It is estimated that one of my ancestors once worked in the Department of Mysteries and secretly hid a time turner, but I discovered it."

Steve opened his mouth in horror: "This is illegal!"

But when Gaspard himself took out the chain with the strange hourglass, Steve immediately ignored the criticism. He and Karan looked at the hourglass with curiosity. It would glow when it was full. of sand - this is the time-turner.

"It's amazing."

Steve sighed, and Karan nodded silently.

When Karan raised his head again, both Gespards were staring at him closely.

"You haven't said why you are in such a hurry to come back?" Gaspard asked 15 minutes ago.

"And he also damaged my tent." Gespard's glasses started to flash again.

"It's because of Tiao Tiao Pot." Karan did not hide his purpose: "I want to take Tiao Tiao Pot away and hide it again."

"why?!"

The two Gesparders frowned at the same time - this was not good news for them.

Karan shook his head without explaining, and the Gespads' frown deepened.

After a while, Gespard himself spoke again: "I know. But before that, I have another idea to tell you - this is what I have learned since I learned that jumping in the cauldron can Change thoughts that arise when they are not.”

"Since non-existences can be formulated, can the summons against Baiget and Dementors - the Patronus - also be used?"

Something seemed to be ignited in Callan's mind - if Principal Dumbley was really planning to inherit Slytherin's research, then if Gaspard's method was feasible, would Callan have the ability to counterattack? means of control?

"You can try it!"

He suddenly stood up and said, still holding the half-eaten strawberry bowl in his hand.

"No, I have to give it a try!"

Karan's firm attitude frightened Steve, and Guspard, who was 15 minutes ago, showed regret: "I really want to stay and watch this scene."

"Let's wait and see when we return to your timeline." Gespard himself said: "You and I both understand that the risk of doing this is too great, and we must not cause more trouble during time travel."

In the end, the three of them watched as Guspard disappeared in front of them 15 minutes ago. Steve hesitantly raised a hand: "Would it be too weird to say goodbye to him?"

"At worst, I'll call you when I do the experiment next time." The only remaining one, Gaspard, said nonchalantly, which scared Steve and waved his hands repeatedly, saying that there was no need.

Callan handed the remaining strawberry bowl to Steve, and returned the time turner to Gaspard. He unwrapped the Deathly Hallows Invisibility Cloak, and then placed the jumping cauldron in Gubrasian. above the fire.

"I'm going to start." He said solemnly.

The two stood behind him and nodded in unison.

Steam slowly emerged from the jumping cauldron, and Karan raised the elder wand, repeatedly recalling the moment when he first discovered that he was a wizard.

"Call God Guard!"

A Thestral with spread wings immediately jumped out from the tip of the staff. The moment it appeared, it understood Karan's inner thoughts and rushed into the hot jumping cauldron without hesitation!

It seemed like an instant, and it seemed to last for a long time. Karan suddenly found that he was suddenly unable to move. He could not turn back, but he could also guess that Steve and Gaspard had encountered the same situation as him!

"This is--"

He watched helplessly as the Taboo stood up from the jumping cauldron and slowly raised his arms as if to touch everything around him!

In desperation, Karan cast the only wandless magic he could use - two things passed by him and hit the taboo's arms respectively, in an attempt to delay the other's touch!

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

Karan's eyes suddenly went dark. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was lying on a piece of cold ground, with snowflakes slowly falling from the air.

"What on earth is going on? Why does the patron saint attract the forbidden ones?!"

Karan stood up slowly. He took out his wand vigilantly and looked around - there was a forest nearby. He was staying in the forest, and the season suddenly changed from summer to winter.

"Time travel..."

Karan murmured in a low voice. He had already guessed what he had summoned in desperation - Gaspard's time turner, which had an unknown magical effect on the Forbidden One and brought him to the strange place he is today. .

Perhaps, it is also a strange time.

He patted the snowflakes on his body and saw a figure not far away.

"The things are still there..."

Karan frowned and looked at his pocket. Steve's invisibility cloak was still with him, but he didn't know if Steve was also forced to participate in this time travel.

Without hesitating for too long, Karan put on the invisibility cloak and walked cautiously towards the figure - at least to figure out where he was now.

That's a tent.

Three young men were busy setting up the tent. One of the boys took out two pistols from his pocket and waved them in front of the other boy.

Karan saw the lightning scar on the other party's forehead from a distance, and was shocked when he heard the other party say:

"Ron, I told you so."

"This thing works better than a wand."
