Chapter 326 Russell's Time Cage

"Harry, how did you get in?"

Harry frowned, his eyes moving between Dumbledore and the library door.

Yes, in Harry's sight, the library door still looked normal, not a wall.

Looking at Harry's expression, Dumbledore seemed to realize something and said with an unpleasant expression, "The library in your eyes is normal, right?"

Harry also showed a look of understanding. He crossed his arms and said teasingly, "Dumbledore, have you been cursed by Madam Pince?"

"The library disappears before you, doesn't it?"

"Harry, you know?"

"Of course, Ron told me everything when I returned to the dormitory." Harry smiled and continued:

"Some students who don't take good care of their books have been cursed by Madam Pince. As a result, they are not allowed to enter the library for three hours."

“Even when I read books borrowed from others, the words and pictures were a mess and I couldn’t learn properly.”

Dumbledore nodded imperceptibly.

Three hours was not too long. Once the spell was lifted, he would definitely go back into the library to get things clear.

Moreover, he had to call Grindelwald, otherwise, he would not be able to calm Madam Pince down by himself.

Just then, a little wizard came running over in a hurry. It was Goyle.

He greeted Harry and Dumbledore, then squeezed through them and came to the front of the library, counting down: "9, 8, 7... 2, 1!"

After Goyle said "1", his eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the library, and then he rushed in.

"Mrs. Pince, I know I was wrong." Goyle's voice was so soft and gentle that it didn't match his tall stature at all. "I shouldn't have thrown books around. Please forgive me."

"You should know what to do next, Goyle?" Madam Pince walked to Goyle, gently touched his head, and said, "I think you should understand the price of not valuing knowledge."

"I know, Madam Pince." Goyle suddenly cried:

"Crabbe is obviously as dumb as me, but he only read two hours more than me and has prepared for several more lessons than me!"

"Mrs. Pince, I swear I will take good care of the books. Please believe me!"

"I believe in you, Goyle. The door of knowledge will always be open to you." Madam Pince nodded with satisfaction and said kindly, "Go get the book, and don't throw it away this time."

"Ok!"

After a while, Gao Er came running out with a happy face.

"Goyle, what book did you borrow? Can you let me see it?" Dumbledore smiled like an elder and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Transfiguration of the Intangibles, Mr. Dumbledore."

Goyle hugged the book tightly, and like a rugby player sprinting towards the goal, he blocked Dumbledore's arm with his shoulder and head, and soon disappeared.

"I'm very busy studying right now, Mr. Dumbledore! The library still has this book, you can borrow it and read it. I'm leaving now!"

Gore's voice faded away along with the sound of his footsteps.

Dumbledore was stunned, somewhat puzzled. "Harry, we should have been gone for less than a day, why are the students so eager to learn?"

Harry smiled in his heart. Of course he knew what was going on, but he would not say it. He just said:

"I've almost got everything ready for departure, Dumbledore."

"I hope you won't make me miss Mr. Snape's evening class."

With that, Harry left.

Dumbledore sighed helplessly, looked at the wall that the library door had turned into again, and felt a severe headache.

This must be Russell's doing!
Dumbledore had no difficulty in coming to this conclusion.

He is now worried about the situation in Hogwarts. Even the library and Madam Pings have been affected. There must be hidden dangers in other places!
We must hurry up and check the school!

"Oh my God, Dumbledore, you're finally back!" Professor McGonagall was surprised, "You don't know how worried we were!"

"I'm sorry, Minerva. I should have told you I was safe as soon as I got back." Dumbledore smiled apologetically, then said happily:

"You'd never guess, Minerva. It took us just one day to destroy a Horcrux of You-Know-Who!"

"One day?" Mag had a strange look on her face. She pursed her lips and her eyes were full of hesitation.

"Why, Minerva, what happened?"

Dumbledore keenly noticed that something was wrong with McGonagall, and suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart.

"Okay, Dumbledore." McGonagall exhaled forcefully, then said solemnly, "You are Dumbledore's headmaster, you should know this."

She looked around, then leaned over to Dumbledore's ear and whispered, "I don't know what spell has stretched the time in the school."

It's getting longer! ? "Yes, it's getting longer." Mag's eyes showed a hint of fear, "One year here is equivalent to one day outside."

"What!?" Dumbledore exclaimed, grabbing McGonagall's shoulders, his eyes almost popping out.

"This is impossible. How did you make that judgment?"

"Geller——" Fortunately, Dumbledore had not lost his mind. He stopped talking in time and continued:
"A friend of mine is here too. His magical proficiency is no less than mine, but he didn't even notice it!"

Professor McGonagall understood what Dumbledore meant, and the fear in her eyes became even stronger.

A wizard as powerful as Dumbledore couldn't sense the passage of time, and even though a year had passed, he was still accustomed to Dumbledore's delay in returning! ?

Would Dumbledore also...

McGonagall held onto a glimmer of hope and continued, "Before the speed of time at Hogwarts changed, a voice said to me:"

"The cage of time will begin from now on and will cover Hogwarts indefinitely."

“A year here is one day outside.”

"The body does not age, but the soul remembers the years."

"Only you and someone who knows this secret can leave here freely."

"Only one other knower has the ability to remove the time cage."

Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore with hopeful eyes and continued, "I have been waiting for you to come back, Dumbledore. Then I will tell you the secret."

"Dumbledore, this time spell is not a gift, but a curse!"

"People's concept of time is distorted. You have to put an end to this!"

"..." Dumbledore fell silent.

Mag watched his eyes change from shock to horror, and then as if someone had hit him on the head, he became drowsy and confused, but after a while, he miraculously regained clarity.

"I'm sorry, Minerva. I should have told you I was safe as soon as I got back." Dumbledore apologized, then said happily:
"You'd never guess, Minerva. It took us just one day to destroy a Horcrux of You-Know-Who!"

Mag covered her mouth, shocked, frightened and desperate.

Dumbledore obviously noticed that something was wrong with McGonagall, so he asked, "Minerva, what's wrong with you?"

Mag remained silent.

"Minerva!?" Dumbledore felt his heart beating rapidly, and his sixth sense told him that something dangerous must be happening!

"Nothing, Dumbledore." McGonagall turned around and walked away in a daze, muttering, "You are not that person, you are not that person..."

Dumbledore was about to call McGonagall, but the next moment, his expression became dazed.

Dumbledore didn't return to normal until McGonagall disappeared around the corner of the corridor. Then, he continued walking towards his office as if he had never seen McGonagall.

……

"Do you really have a grasp of time, sir?" Harry stood in the Room of Requirement, which looked like an ordinary family's living room, and Russell's clone was making tea for him.

"Of course not." Russell smiled, handed the teacup to Harry, and then said, "It's just a trick made up of illusions and spells."

"If I really have mastered time, then we should not be in the same dimension."

Harry secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He relaxed his expression and walked outside. "Then I'll go study first. I feel like I've touched the threshold of the Force."

“Perhaps in the next moment, my talent will develop into its true skills.”

"I'm looking forward to it. Come on, Harry." Russell's clone said with a smile.

When Harry walked out of the Room of Requirement, Russell's clone also disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he was standing at the highest point of Hogwarts, looking up at the sky.

In his eyes, the appearance of the world became a complex and intertwined magical thread, and the little wizards walking in Hogwarts were nothing more than complex human-shaped balls of thread.

In each thread, colorful and strangely shaped substances are flowing.

The lines in the human body and the lines in nature are intertwined and move with each other, and the world becomes colorful.

But as long as someone who can see these lines jumps out of Hogwarts, he will find:

The lines inside Hogwarts are cut off from the outside world, and the speed of movement is obviously reduced a lot.

"Time...the continuity and order of material existence and movement..." Russell's clone muttered to himself.

"Immortals are beyond the Three Realms and are not within the Five Elements." He looked down at his hands. Although the lines in his hands were clearly distinguished from the lines in this world, there were still some forces acting on each other.

“It seems like there is only a thin line to transcendence, but in reality it is a world away.”

"Will the Force bring me closer?"
