From the leader of Mingjiao to the heavens

Chapter 296 Time Rewind
The Philosopher's Stone was stolen, and Dumbledore quickly locked the suspect Quirrell and caught him.

Quirrell denied it, stammering that he had fainted from the troll's fright.

But Dumbledore used a magic called "Trace Appearance", using some alchemy powder, to make time go back, proving that Quirrell really released trolls in the basement to create chaos when everyone was having dinner in the auditorium , also proved that he ran to steal the Philosopher's Stone and returned to his room.

Dumbledore used "trace development" in his room, and did not show Voldemort's image, only saw "Kettleburn" enter the door, fight an invisible enemy, and then snatch the Philosopher's Stone.

Kettleburn yelled wronged: "I have been drinking tea and chatting in Professor Wei's office. We discussed the troll until you came to call me. I never walked out of Professor Wei's office. Professor Wei can testify for me!"

He looked at Wei Xiao urgently, and Wei Xiao nodded immediately: "I can testify for Professor Kettleburn, we have been together all the time."

Dumbledore's face was cold, and there was an angry gleam in his blue eyes. "Trace Appearance" couldn't make the people in the past completely clear and reappear in every detail. What is clear is magic. He can't tell what kind of spell it is from the character of the "Ketarborn" that casts the spell. It just feels very strange, and he has no impression of this kind of spell in his mind.

"Anyway, hand this man over to the Ministry of Magic first."

This is an orderly legal world. Dumbledore can't kill people casually, and can't interrogate him arbitrarily. He can only submit evidence to the Ministry of Magic for the Ministry of Magic to handle.

Dumbledore knew that Quirrell traveled to Algeria not long ago and claimed to have met a vampire. After returning, he was in a daze, afraid that the vampire would suddenly appear and suck his blood... Quirrell was an excellent Ravenclaw student. Gevots graduated from Ravenclaw College. Reminiscent of the legend in Algeria after Voldemort disappeared, there is reason to suspect that he was bewitched by Voldemort to steal the Sorcerer's Stone.

In the Forbidden Forest, unicorns died one after another. The blood of unicorns has special abilities. Obviously, Voldemort is using the blood of unicorns to continue his life. Voldemort ordered Quirrell to steal the Philosopher's Stone in order to be resurrected.

Now the worst part: It is impossible to tell whether Voldemort has got the Sorcerer's Stone.

In the following time, Dumbledore searched the entire Hogwarts, but could not find any trace of Voldemort.

Now there is a high probability that Voldemort got the Philosopher's Stone, abandoned Quirrell and left alone, and resurrected with the Philosopher's Stone.

But who was that man pretending to be Kettleburn?Could it be Voldemort's backhand?

Dumbledore suspected that there was another lackey of Voldemort in the castle. He took the Philosopher's Stone for Voldemort after Quirrell. Quirrell was an abandoned son, and that person was the one Voldemort really relied on.

Maybe... I can use the Time-Turner...

Dumbledore took from a drawer a small shiny gold timepiece on a long, delicate chain.

He flipped the switch, and every time he turned it, the time could go back one hour...

Time is the most difficult magic to master. The Ministry of Magic has formulated hundreds of laws and restrictions on the use of time converters.

The most common thing is that you can only go back to the past five hours at most. Once it exceeds five hours, it will cause unpredictable consequences, and you cannot be seen by people in that world, and you cannot change the past.

Dumbledore has profound magic power and is extremely experienced. He turned the time back to the time when the giant monsters were raging. As the magic started, he felt himself flying backwards very quickly, and various blurred clouds passed before his eyes...

Soon, he returned to the time when he moved the giant monster from the auditorium to the outdoors with the water dungeon. He came to the door of Wei Xiao's office and waited for a long time, but no one came out, and the door was not even opened. The light in front of the door seems to be dimmed suddenly, only this is unusual...

After squatting to no avail, Dumbledore returned to normal time, waved the time converter again, and this time used magic to walk into a portrait on the wall, squatting on the only way to Quirrell's office.

He squatted on the wall for a long time, except for Quirrell, he didn't see anyone passing by...

Dumbledore used the time-turner many times, went back to the past, and tracked down for several days, but he couldn't find out who was pretending to be Kettleburn and took the Philosopher's Stone.

The last time, after Quirrell left the room, he simply broke in directly, just in time to meet Voldemort who absorbed the energy of the Philosopher's Stone.

Voldemort used the "Avada Kedavra Curse" to kill Harry Potter's parents. Harry Potter's mother sacrificed himself, rebounded with the oldest guardian spell, and killed himself, but he had a Horcrux to save his life. Between life and death, lingering.

But he is the most powerful dark wizard after all, using spiritual magic, he persuaded Quirrell to become his subordinate with a few words.He wanted to be stronger, so he asked Quirrell to take him to the Forbidden Forest to kill the unicorn and drink its blood.

This time he got the energy of the Philosopher's Stone, and he immediately became stronger...

Dumbledore wanted to use a spell to summon the Sorcerer's Stone, but it failed. Voldemort controlled the Sorcerer's Stone and continuously absorbed energy from it to fight Dumbledore.

The two fought fiercely. Voldemort was a genius black wizard who invented many terrifying black magics. Dumbledore was called a great white wizard. Both of them were at the top level. Although Voldemort is extremely weak now, If you fight for a while, Dumbledore will definitely clean him up, but he has absorbed the energy of the Philosopher's Stone, and Dumbledore can't take him down immediately even after a short period of fighting.

The two only used three moves and two moves, and the energy fluctuation was so strong that the time converter on Dumbledore's body exploded...

Dumbledore came back five times before and after, which is equivalent to six Dumbledores at this point in time, one was outside to deal with the trolls, one was turned into a portrait and hung on the wall, one was guarding outside Wei Xiao's office, and one was here with him. Voldemort vs...

The poor Time-Turner was finally overwhelmed and shattered. The turbulent flow of time brought Dumbledore back to his office and fell heavily on the chair. crack!

He couldn't find any more clues, he could only confirm that Voldemort was back and wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone.

The news of Voldemort's presence, he did not tell the Ministry of Magic, and the current minister, Cornelius Fudge, is a weak and incompetent politician.

Fudge was originally the Deputy Director of the Department of Accidents and Disasters of the Ministry of Magic, known as the least important department of the Ministry of Magic. He was reluctantly appointed when the old Barty Crouch lost his qualifications and Dumbledore refused to take up the post. This Minister's.

After he took office, he was tactful and tried to make friends with everyone who seemed useful, including Dumbledore of course.

But Dumbledore knew that if he was told that Voldemort had reappeared, Fudge would definitely deny it in every possible way, because Voldemort was a problem he couldn't solve. At that time, the wizarding world would collectively be in turmoil, and people would panic, and his job as a minister would be over.

In the end, Quirrell was charged with two charges. The first was theft, and the second was releasing a troll with the intention of causing disaster and killing people.

The Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Department put him in the wizarding world's Guantanamo prison - Azkaban!
Quirrell refused to accept it, because the troll did not cause even one casualty, and the crime of theft was not enough to allow him to enter Azkaban, but the Ministry of Magic believed that the Philosopher's Stone had a great relationship, and Dumbledore also said that it had nothing to do with the Dark Magic. , has something to do with Voldemort, it should be dealt with as soon as possible, so as not to cause worse effects, so he was punished severely and locked him in.

Wei Xiao felt that Dumbledore began to doubt himself, or it was only at the stage of just becoming suspicious, but once the seeds of doubt were planted, they would take root and sprout at the right time.

In the days that followed, he taught the students honestly every day, trying to be a real magic teacher.
