"So Professor Dumbledore, he really can't come back now?" Kyle asked.
"When did he leave?"
"Over a month ago," Kyle said, "Did you hear about what happened in Godric's Hollow? He was the one who used the Time-Turner during that time."
"I haven't heard of it." Victor shook his head, "But if it's a month, I'm afraid he is really rejected by time."
"Will Dumbledore be in danger?"
"It's just a time loop. It might be painful, but it won't be dangerous." Victor said, "With Albus' current strength, no one can hurt him in the next hundred years."
"That's good." Kyle felt a little relieved, but only a little.
Dumbledore was fine, but the same could not be said for them.
He couldn't use the Polyjuice Potion to impersonate Dumbledore forever, and Voldemort didn't have that much patience. One day, when he felt the time was right, he would take action against Hogwarts.
When that time comes, what should they do...
The Polyjuice Potion can make him look like Dumbledore, but it can't give him Dumbledore's strength.
Kyle just felt a little upset.
"Is there any way to bring him back?" he asked tentatively.
“Yes, and it’s very simple.”
Kyle raised his head suddenly. Victor's answer really caught him off guard.
"any solution."
"Let a person go back to the past and bring him back." Victor said, "It's like a person who is running and unknowingly deviates from the original route. At this time, all we need is someone to remind him or bring him back. Isn't it simple?"
Kyle didn't answer.
Is Victor right?
In a sense, it is definitely right. It is not that difficult to bring Dumbledore back. The difficulty lies in how the person who can help him show the way can get there.
"We don't have another time turner that can go back a hundred years." Kyle sat there dejectedly.
The time-turner that Dumbledore used took a long time to repair. It would probably take even longer to make a new one. By the time that thing was made, Voldemort would probably have already led his Death Eaters to capture Hogwarts.
The classroom fell silent again.
"Hey, wait a minute." At this moment, Victor seemed to suddenly think of something. He stood up quickly, rummaged around on the table, then walked to a mirror and said:
"Jafar, I give you three minutes to come to my office immediately."
A few lines of words appeared in the mirror and then disappeared in a ripple.
……
Three minutes later, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.
"Professor Victor." The boy who had mocked Kyle before pushed the door open timidly. He looked at Professor Victor, then at Kyle, and he felt sick all over.
"I'm sorry, professor, I... I haven't finished copying yet, please give me a little more time..."
"Put this aside for now." Victor looked at him seriously, "Let me ask you, did you take away the discarded items in the classroom this morning?"
“Yes, it’s me.” The boy looked even more frightened. “Professor, I just…want to see where everyone made mistakes…others really did the same…”
"Is there an envelope in there?" Victor asked again.
"Envelope?" Jafar stammered. "I, I don't know. I was busy copying the textbook... I haven't had time to look at it yet."
"Then go find it!" Victor said in a deep voice.
Jafar ran away as if he was escaping.
"Professor...what's that envelope?"
"We'll talk about this later. Keep quiet now." Victor sat there, writing something quickly on a piece of parchment.
Although Kyle was curious, he didn't dare to disturb him at this time.
About five minutes later, Jafar came back panting, holding an envelope commonly seen in owl post offices.
"Professor...is this what you are talking about?" After running back and forth three times, he put the things on the table, breathing heavily.
"Yes, that's it." Victor looked up and took a look. "Take the professor's things without permission and copy them a hundred times."
Jafar turned pale.
"Professor... I, I didn't mean to..."
"If you did it on purpose, it would be more than just copying a book."
Jafar ran over in a hurry and left with heavy steps. If he was given another chance, he would never come to provoke the Englishman in the afternoon... No, he would not even come to the alchemy classroom.
After he walked away, Victor closed the classroom again.
He opened the envelope and said to himself, "Because I have to write new teaching materials, I haven't paid attention to the outside world for a long time.
"But do you know why I suddenly noticed that Albus hasn't appeared for a long time?"
"Because you have a good relationship?" Kyle replied in a low voice.
"No, our relationship is limited to academic exchanges, which is not that good." Victor shook his head. "The reason I pay attention to him is because I received this."
He opened the envelope and took out a...gold pocket watch.
"Bangdang..."
Kyle stood up suddenly, knocking over the chair behind him.
"Time-Turner!"
Of course he knew what it was, as he had it in his possession for a long time before giving it to Dumbledore a month ago.
This is the Time-Turner that Nicolas Flamel repaired.
But now it is broken again, with cracks all over the surface, and the originally dazzling gold color has become dull.
"But...how come it's here?" Kyle asked.
"This is something I don't understand either," Victor said. "When I received this thing, I thought it was from Nico, so I contacted him right away.
"But he told me that the Time-Turner had been given to you, and I had the impression that it had been repaired.
"So I concluded that this was a joke Nico played on me..."
"Don't look at me like that." Victor explained, "He often does this. He takes something he has already completed and gives it to me, then reassembles it using a completely different magic formula. This is a little game between us."
"Mini game?" Kyle curled his lips.
Although magic formulas are ever-changing, it is almost impossible to use two completely different formulas to achieve the same effect.
"Don't interrupt, just listen to me." Victor said coldly, and Kyle immediately shut up.
“But I had to compile teaching materials recently and didn’t have the time, so I just threw it aside.
"I didn't notice it at the time, but now I think it was thrown into the students' failed assignments."
"And then it was picked up by that student?"
"That's right. Since alchemical materials are expensive, they all have the habit of researching failed products to avoid waste to the greatest extent." Victor said.
"I had forgotten all about it until I met you, and I asked Olympe about Albus at dinner.
"I felt something was wrong at the time, so I called you over."
Looking at his gaze, Kyle felt a little guilty.
"Fortunately I asked a little more. This should be the original time turner."
"Yeah." Kyle nodded.
Fortunately, he asked one more question, otherwise if Victor continued to misunderstand and thought that Dumbledore had not returned, then who knows where this thing would be thrown.
If you want to find it then, it may not be that easy.

Chapter 818 Methods and Rent
In the alchemy classroom, Kyle stared at the time converter on the table in a daze.
This was incredible. The time-turner that was supposed to have been taken away by Dumbledore suddenly came back and was sent to Professor Victor in Beauxbatons.
To be honest, Kyle came to Beauxbatons on a whim, a decision he made after arriving in France.
In addition to Beauxbatons, he might also go to other famous places, such as the city of Bordeaux and the Magic Opera House that was highly recommended by Cedric.
Nico was also a frequent visitor there, but he still preferred Muggle opera... He believed that Muggles were more ambitious and creative, and wizards were relatively inferior in this respect.
In addition to the opera house, France also has the Red Hat Magic Tricks Company, wine bars popular among troubadours and traveling wizards...all of which are likely to become Kyle's destination.
The reason why he chose to come to Beauxbatons was entirely because of what he saw in the store and the influence of Fleur.
In other words, it only took a few hours from the time he made the decision to the time he set off.
If he had made another choice, or had not come to France, would he never have seen this time turner again?
After all, Victor had just said that the envelope was mixed in with a bunch of failed products. If Kyle hadn't told the truth in time, he might not have remembered it...
Kyle didn't know how Beauxbatons would deal with the failed alchemical products in the end, but it would definitely not be properly arranged somewhere, and it would probably be solved with a cleansing spell.
"Who sent this thing?" Kyle asked again.
"If I had known, I would have told you the first time." Victor spread the envelope on the table.
There was nothing on it except Victor's name and address.
"Anyway, this thing has solved our biggest problem at the moment."
Victor didn't care where this thing came from. He put the pocket watch in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully.
"It's completely rotten, like a grape that has been squeezed dry of juice..."
"Will it still work?" Kyle asked nervously.
"It's always possible to fix it," Victor said. "The only problem is that it's a bit troublesome and you have to be patient."
