"So, you want to save her too?" Dumbledore felt relieved after finding that no one was paying attention to this side.
"I can only say that I had this thought." Kyle explained: "My logic tells me that it was the best choice for you to come back with me at that time. But I also thought that even if you didn't lose those memories, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to leave without doing anything... After all, this guilt has tormented you for a hundred years."
"Is it so obvious?" Dumbledore couldn't help asking, "I always thought I could hide my emotions very well."
"That's just my guess," Kyle said. "You always like to knit wool socks, which usually symbolize family affection."
"Really?" Dumbledore was silent for a moment. "But I really want to receive a pair of wool socks for Christmas, but no one has ever given them to me... People always like to give me books, and most of them are books I have read."
"Don't worry, this situation will continue for many years." Kyle sighed.
It wasn't just Dumbledore, it was the same for him too. Seventy percent of the Christmas gifts he received were books of various kinds. Kyle felt that in a few years he would be able to open a private library.
"So what is your plan?" Dumbledore took the initiative to change the subject back to "How are we going to save Ariana?"
"It's not difficult to save Ariana. We can just use a Stunning Spell in advance or find an excuse to take her away." Kyle said, "The difficult part is how can we deceive Dumbledore... Of course, I mean the young Dumbledore."
"I know."
"So I decided to use this." Kyle took out a small bottle of potion and a long brown-red hair.
"Polyjuice Potion."
"That's right." Kyle nodded. "Before they come back, you take Ariana away in advance. I will drink the Polyjuice Potion and replace her..."
"No."
As soon as Kyle finished speaking, the idea was rejected by Dumbledore.
"Why?" Kyle asked, "This is the easiest way."
"I have a feeling this method won't work." Dumbledore was silent for a moment before saying, "You should know that I have come back more than once."
Kyle nodded.
"Unlike the previous times, your appearance has allowed some fragments of my lost memories to reappear. I vaguely remember using this method before." Dumbledore said, "Take Ariana away in advance, and then appear here in her guise."
"What was the result?" Kyle asked.
"I don't remember." Dumbledore said painfully, "But I can guess that after Ariana wakes up and finds herself in a strange place, she will definitely collapse emotionally, and the ending will not change at that time."
"Her Obscurus, you mean?"
"That's right." Dumbledore tightly grasped the cup of pumpkin juice. "Emotions are the fuse that caused the silent explosion in her body. Ariana must stay here."
Kyle frowned and said nothing.
He did neglect the problem of the Obscurus. Ariana had been locked up at home, and her world only consisted of her relatives, or to be more precise... Aberforth.
Moreover, even a normal person would panic if he found himself suddenly in an unfamiliar place, let alone the Silent One whose emotions are unstable.
"There is another way, which is more risky." Kyle narrowed his eyes.
"what?"
"Tell Ariana the truth..."
"This is absolutely not okay!"
Dumbledore stood up excitedly, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around him.
He sat back down again and lowered his voice, "You should know that the first rule of using a time-turner is that you must never tell others about the future."
"Then find a way to circumvent this rule."
“That can’t be changed.”
"No, there is still a way." Kyle glanced at the empty seat on the left.
If it was night, Cord would usually be sitting there, but it was morning now and he should still be brewing potions.
"Professor, do you remember Cord?"
"Coldpot?" Dumbledore asked in confusion, "Why do you mention him suddenly?"
"I've thought of a way." Kyle stood up suddenly, "Follow me."
Kyle left the two Nats at the bar and ran out of the bar without looking back.
Seeing this, Dumbledore hurriedly staggered after him.
Kyle ran along the path south of Godric's Hollow and soon saw a red two-story cottage.
The first floor here has been converted into a shop, with a handwritten sign hanging on it.
【Potter's Potion Shop】
Code had just finished greeting a customer when he looked up and saw Kyle running over.
"What a rare guest." He said with some surprise: "Do you need any potion? I have the Vixen Elimination Potion, the Joy Potion, and the Energizing Potion. Since you're treating me to a drink, I can give you a great discount."
Kyle took a quick look and found that the potions here were all very common types, with the most expensive one being the Joy Potion.
"I'll take them all." Kyle took out a handful of Galleons and placed them on the table. "Whether they're on the shelf or in stock, I'll take them all."
Code looked at the huge amount of Galleons on the counter, then looked at Kyle and smiled.
"I know you are rich, but you don't have to come here so early in the morning to entertain me... No, you must treat me to the best brandy in the evening, otherwise I will turn against you."
“I really want to buy it,” Kyle said.
"Okay, stop joking." Code waved his hand and prepared to chase him away.
Until he saw Kyle's serious expression, his outstretched hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.
"Give me a reason," he said. "Don't treat me as a fool. You don't look like someone who needs this kind of ordinary potion."
"Well, I can't hide anything from you." Kyle didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I want to borrow something from you."
"Hey, you should have said so earlier." Code suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. "You made such a big fuss just to borrow something. You've been treating me to drinks for more than half a month. How can I refuse you when you finally ask?
"Really? Hurry up and put away the gold coins... Tell me, what do you want to borrow?"
"Invisibility cloak," Kyle said.
Code paused for a moment, but soon recovered and laughed awkwardly:
"Stop kidding me. Invisibility cloaks are rare. Even the richest family in Godric's Hollow, Dumbledore, may not have one. How could I possibly..."
"Ignotus Peverell." Kyle said a name, and Cord's voice stopped abruptly.
He stared at Kyle in a daze, then closed the door with a sullen face, "I don't understand what you are saying. Who is that?"
"The third of the three brothers in The Tales of Beedle the Bard. The name Porter is his descendant."
Kode's face became even uglier.
"Just because of a surname?" He said in a deep voice: "Porter is not an uncommon surname."
"What if we add the southern highlands?" Kyle continued, "Someone said that the descendants of Ignotus live there. Add your last name, and the answer will naturally appear."
"Who said that."
"Grindelwald," Kyle said, "He disappeared this time because of this."
"Ha..." Code suddenly pulled out his wand and pointed it at Kyle, "So you also believe in that legend and want to snatch the three holy relics?
"Oh, that's right. I almost forgot that you are a wizard who studies the history of magic. Of course people like you will believe it. No wonder you have been living here. This is probably why you approached me, for the legendary invisibility cloak."
"Don't get me wrong, I really didn't think about it that way."
"Do you think I will believe you? Liar!" Code said excitedly.
Kyle didn't explain, he just slowly raised his hand and moved his fingers slightly.
Under Code's shocked gaze, his wand instantly slipped out of his hand and fell into Kyle's hand.
"Wandless Disarmament Spell..." Code's voice was dry and his body went limp.
He was sure that it would be very easy for the man in front of him to kill him, especially since he didn't even have a wand.
But the next second, Kyle put his wand back on the counter and took two steps back.
"Now you believe me, I'm not here for the invisibility cloak." Kyle explained: "If I really want it, you can't stop me."
Kyle waved his hand again, and the iron shelf next to Code began to twist rapidly, turning into a lump of iron.
Hearing the creaking sound in his ears, Code couldn't help swallowing.
"Ok, I trust you."
"I understand your thoughts. Don't force it." Kyle said, "After all, it is a legendary item. Many people covet it. If it wasn't an emergency, I wouldn't come to borrow it from you."
"Are you in trouble?" Code looked at the iron lump next to him again... He chose to believe Kyle.
"You're being chased by your enemies, and you want to use the invisibility cloak to hide?"
"It's not me, it's someone else." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "This is about whether a little girl can survive."
"That person is important to you?"
"I guess so. You could say that I came to Godric's Hollow this time because of her."
"People from the valley?" Code asked doubtfully, "Who is it?"
"I can't tell you, and don't ask." Kyle shook his head.
"It's okay if you can't just say it." Code held out a hand, "Take it."
"What……"
"Gallon, aren't you going to buy all my stock?" Code said confidently, "I've decided to increase the price tenfold, to a total of twenty Galleons. If you're willing to pay, I'll lend you the invisibility cloak."
"You agree?"
"What else can I do?" Code said unhappily, "My bones are not as hard as the shelves. Hurry up and stop talking nonsense, or I will change my mind later."
"No problem." Kyle quickly put a bag on the table, "I'll give you fifty Galleons..."
"No, just twenty Galleons. I don't want more." Code counted out twenty gold coins, threw the bag to Kyle, and turned to walk into the back room.
After a few minutes...
"It's okay, Patina, we just have a difficult guest. Go back now. I can handle it."
As Code spoke, he came out again, but this time he had a dusty box in his hand.
"Take it, what you want." He closed his eyes, put on a look of deep hatred, took a deep breath and pushed the box to Kyle.
