Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 842 Disappeared Memories

 “How did this happen?”

Seeing Dumbledore's confused look, Kyle rubbed his forehead and didn't know where to start.

 He came to save people, but they just met and started fighting without saying anything.

Fortunately, although Dumbledore lost part of his memory, he was still conscious. After realizing that something was wrong, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​continuing to clear his memory.

I have to say that Dumbledore was really bad-tempered at this time. He would flick his wand whenever he disagreed. This meant that he was relatively weak now and had worries in his heart. Otherwise, the consequences would be much more troublesome than they are now.

Kyle also changed a chair for himself, sat down opposite Dumbledore, and asked:

“Professor, you really don’t remember anything?”

"I don't remember." Dumbledore shook his head.

"Then you have no doubts?" Kyle continued to ask: "You think you are a professor of transfiguration, but that should have been in your middle age, or even earlier. You are obviously not like this now. age group.”

"Because this is not the first time I have come here." Dumbledore explained: "I can't remember the specific number of times, but I know that I have been back many times, and the total time is not short."

Kyle sighed helplessly.

According to Dumbledore, he knew that his appearance was not the same as the age in his memory, but he did not think there was anything wrong with it. He just regarded it as normal age growth when going back to the past again and again.

"But now it seems that things are completely different from what I thought." Dumbledore looked at Kyle, "Can you please tell me the truth?"

“No problem, but this matter is very complicated to explain. It makes me wonder where to start...” Kyle rubbed his forehead.

"There's no rush, we have a lot of time." Dumbledore said, "Grindelwald will be back at 10:23 tomorrow morning, and we still have more than ten hours."

His tone was calm, as if he had instantly transformed back into the familiar Headmaster of Hogwarts.

"Let's start from the source of everything." Kyle took out the golden pocket watch, "This is the time turner we use, from the work of Salazar Slytherin a thousand years ago."

Dumbledore looked at the golden pocket watch, and a familiar memory suddenly came out, but it was very blurry, like a forest hidden in the fog, and only some faint shadows could be seen.

"Continue." He asked: "How can we get something from a thousand years ago?"

"This is about my third year, ninety-three years later, when you were the Headmaster of Hogwarts... At the Halloween dinner that year, the school administrator's cat was suddenly petrified..."

Kyle recounted the story of the Chamber of Secrets carefully, and Dumbledore sat there and listened quietly, frowning slightly from time to time, but did not interrupt Kyle.

“…This time turner allowed me to go back three months and connected everything together. After I returned to the correct timeline, it was retained.

“It’s just that it was completely broken at that time. The one we are using now was repaired by Professor yourself, Nicolas Flamel, and Professor Victor of Beauxbatons.”

Some vague memories appeared in Dumbledore's mind again. He felt his forehead swelling and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub it.

“Professor, are you okay?” Kyle asked with concern.

"It's okay." Dumbledore took a deep breath, "Continue."

“There’s nothing after that.” Kyle spread his hands, “You use this to go back a hundred years ago, which is the current time.”

 “Then why did you come?”

"Because you haven't appeared since then." Kyle raised his head, "Nico thinks you must have done something to be excluded from the right time. The purpose of my coming here is to get you Take it back."

“So you’re saying that after I used the Time Turner, I disappeared?”

 “That’s right.” Kyle nodded.

"If that's the case, then things are a bit troublesome." Dumbledore thought for a while, "I think I probably understand why I lost part of my memory."

"Why?"

 “Because I am disappearing,” Dumbledore said quietly.

 “Disappearing?” Kyle was stunned for a moment.

"That's right." Dumbledore raised his head and looked at the window above the barn. "After this summer, I tried many ways to save Ariana, including a time turner. I spent five years turning it over. I have read all the relevant knowledge I can find, and I also know a thing or two about time rejection.

"I am disappearing, and the missing memory is the most intuitive manifestation." He pointed at himself, "There cannot be two same people at the same time, so when my memory overlaps with me at this time, I will not Will come back again.”

 The barn suddenly fell into silence.

Kyle held the time turner tightly and grabbed Dumbledore with his other hand. "It doesn't matter. You should be able to recover your memory after we go back. It's not too late now."

But Dumbledore stepped back and avoided Kyle's hand.

 “Sorry, I can’t go back yet.”

"But Professor, you should know that you can't change anything." Kyle looked at him seriously, "Maybe it's because you want to change something that you are repelled by time and have been trapped in the past."

"No, you are wrong." Dumbledore shook his head, "I haven't changed anything, and I have a hunch that I have succeeded."

 “Succeeded? So what did you change?”

Kyle was a little angry, especially after seeing Dumbledore's face that was so pale that there was no trace of blood in it. This was caused by his excessive mental consumption.

Kyle also experienced a similar thing. Although he didn't lose his memory, he didn't feel very good. His head felt messy every day.

 But he only went back to three months ago.

But how long has Dumbledore stayed here...According to his previous description, the continuous cycle of processes adds up to at least several decades, or even more.

Kyle pushed open the barn door, "Look, you are back in this time again, and you have lost all your previous memories, no matter how many times you come again.

"Even if you save Ariana, you will come back here again one day, and everything will start from scratch, and the cycle will continue. What's the point!"

"Because of you." Dumbledore suddenly smiled, "You were not there in the previous time, but you are here now."

 “I’m here to save you,” Kyle said.

"This is the change." Dumbledore said calmly, "According to you, you are not from this era. Your appearance itself is enough to explain the problem."

 He suddenly laughed, "I guessed 'my' plan, and I succeeded."

 “Your plan is to use me?” Kyle raised his eyebrows.

"It's not use, it's help." Dumbledore stood up staggeringly. "This matter requires the involvement of someone outside of time, so I ask you, help me..."

Kyle said nothing.

Now is the best time. If he leaves with Dumbledore, the two of them can go back to a hundred years later smoothly, everything will be back on track, and all problems will be solved.

 But if he chooses to stay and help Dumbledore...then everything will become unknown.

Let’s not talk about whether Ariana can be saved or not. The problem now is that regardless of success or failure, Dumbledore may be excluded by time again.

 At that time, part of his memory will definitely be lost again, and no one knows how many years it will be, or it may disappear directly as he said.

 And even he himself may be excluded from time... If this is the case, they will never be able to go back.

Kyle was confused and didn't speak for a long time. Dumbledore was not in a hurry and just sat quietly waiting.

The sky gradually became brighter, and the sun hung slanting in the sky. Someone opened the door, walked out of the house, and started a new busy day.

Godric's Hollow is gradually becoming lively.

Kyle finally raised his head.

 He looked at Dumbledore and took a deep breath, "Professor, you will definitely not leave here."

"Yes." Dumbledore said with certainty: "This is the closest I have been to success, and I will not give up no matter what."

"What if I have to take you away?" Kyle took out his wand, and red flames began to gather at the tip of the wand.

“You have lost most of your memory now and your body is extremely weak. It doesn’t seem to be that difficult to defeat you.”

 Before Kyle finished speaking, the original flame turned into a small fire dragon, entrenched around the wand.

"Even I, at this age, cannot use the Fire Curse so skillfully." Dumbledore said with a smile: "I think you must be my most proud student."

"It's no use what you said, Professor." Kyle raised his arms, "I just want to take you back... You once promised me that you would just look at Ariana and do nothing else, but you broke your promise. "

"I'm sorry." Dumbledore said, "If you want to kill me, it doesn't matter if I don't resist, or you can leave on your own. This matter has nothing to do with you in the first place.

 “But if you try to take me away by force...I will resist!”

Dumbledore's voice was very soft, but extremely firm.

As he said just now, this is the only chance to save Ariana, and he cannot give up, no matter how high the price is.

 As for whether Kyle will leave right now, it doesn’t matter. His appearance here represents the beginning of change, which is enough.

 Dumbledore also picked up the wand, and the majestic magic power was once again condensed in his extremely weak body.

　　The confrontation between the two people caused the dilapidated barn to begin to shake, and it might collapse at any time.

“Forget it, I give up.” Kyle suddenly laughed helplessly and waved his hand to disperse the fire dragon on the wand.

"To put it bluntly, in your current state, I'm really worried that I might accidentally kill you."

"I admit this." Dumbledore held onto his chair, "I can only dispel the Fire Curse two more times at most, but you should be able to do more than just this one magic."

"You also taught me another spell, which is a magic spell." Kyle shrugged, "It's very useful, but the movement is a bit too loud. Not to mention this broken barn, the whole street may not be saved. "

"Then I really saved my life." Dumbledore smiled calmly, "When are you going to leave... By the way, let Hogwarts choose a new principal as soon as possible after you go back. Didn't you say before that Minerva is The transfiguration class professor? I think she’s pretty good, that kid is very responsible.”

"No, I'm not going back for the time being." Kyle sat back on the chair, "I'm going to stay and help you."

"Aren't you afraid?" Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, "I just wanted to ask for your help out of selfish motives, but if you stay, you will probably be rejected by time like me."

"It is indeed possible." Kyle said, "To be honest, I'm not afraid it's false, but I just combed through my memory carefully and found some very interesting things, all of which I didn't notice before. So I decided to stay.”

 “What memory?” Dumbledore asked curiously.

"Like this..." Kyle picked up the time turner and looked at it carefully. "This thing was obviously taken away by you, why did it appear again, and even got into my hands?"

 “Oh?” Dumbledore blinked, “What did you think of?”

"It's hard to say." Kyle shook his head. "According to normal circumstances, you should return to the correct timeline and then send it out. This was also what I thought at the beginning, but now it seems that it is me. Sent back."

Dumbledore's eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at Kyle calmly and asked, "What do you think this means?"

"I can't tell..." Kyle frowned: "I have never understood time. Maybe... now is the correct time, and it is also the preserved past."

Dumbledore’s eyes brightened.

"In addition, there is another interesting thing." Kyle continued.

 “Tell me about it.”

“It’s a person I’ve met, but I can’t tell you now.” Kyle put away the time turner, “Anyway, it was because of this discovery that I decided to take a gamble.

 “What time is it now?”

 “Eight o’clock,” Dumbledore blurted out.

 “How do you know?” Kyle asked, “Is there a clock here?”

 He looked up and looked around. There was nothing on the barn except a few protruding logs.

"It's the rooster raised by the Cord family." Dumbledore explained: "They crow on time every eight o'clock. This is also the time when Grindelwald and I meet every day."

Being reminded like this, Kyle heard a faint snoring sound.

“Also, young Grindelwald and I will be back at 10:23.”

“I noticed just now, is this time so accurate?” Kyle asked.

 “Because that’s when Ariana’s accident happened.” Dumbledore’s voice was heavy.

"You mean, when you come back this time, she will..."

"That's right." Dumbledore closed his eyes, "After we come back this time, Aberforth will be furious because I left without saying goodbye, and we will have the most heated quarrel in history.

"Grindelwald came here to find the invisibility cloak, but he got nothing. He was already angry and exploded amidst Aberforth's curses. The two began to fight, mercilessly attacking each other. Using the most vicious curse."

"Can Aberforth beat Grindelwald?" Kyle expressed doubts. Rather than saying it was a big fight, he believed it was a unilateral beating of Aberforth by Grindelwald, which was very cruel.

“He is my brother after all.” Dumbledore said with a wry smile: “I subconsciously chose to help him, which made Grindelwald even more angry, so the battle between two people turned into a melee between three people.

“Ariana was in the attic and saw everything, and she ran out and tried to stop us…”

 At this point, Dumbledore suddenly became choked up and his eyes were filled with tears.

But Kyle can understand it.

Aberforth and Grindelwald have already started fighting, and they will fight to the death. Dumbledore will definitely try his best to stop them.

Although Ariana is an Obscurus, she is also an ordinary girl who cannot even use the lighting spell. She rushes into a battle between wizards, and the results are predictable.

Any spell could kill her, and even under the stimulation of magic, the Obscurus in her body would explode.

Thinking of the little girl who was eager to make friends with others and could be happy for a long time even after eating a piece of candy, Kyle sighed.

Now that he is better, even if he knows that it will be dangerous to stay, he wants to help even more.

There is no other way, who can make him relent?
