A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 89 Who attacked whom?

In the principal's office, in the Pensieve.

Dumbledore followed William's memories, watching the entire process unfold, and now they had entered the most crucial part.

Tywin strode quickly toward the Ravenclaw lounge, his wide robes billowing in the air.

"Professor Tywin, what are you doing here?"

Before Robert could finish speaking, Tywin's pale right hand gripped his ebony wand.

"He collapsed to the ground, completely defenseless!" Caught off guard, Robert fell to the ground.

Tywin took out a vial of blood and a tattered parchment scroll from his robes.

Dumbledore's pupils contracted slightly, and he said solemnly, "The Three Books of Mystical Philosophy, written by the sixteenth-century wizard Heinrich Agrippa."

It explains the relationship between the human body, the twelve zodiac signs, and the planets, and also records the magic to break the seal.

I've always wondered how Tywin managed to bypass Ravenclaw's magic and forcefully obtain the ring; now I understand.

Dumbledore seemed to be instructing William, and William was listening attentively.

He wasn't just listening attentively; he was practically drooling with envy. The library might have many banned books, but those belonged to the school; what did they have to do with William?

Besides, who would complain about having too many treasures? That set of parchment scrolls is clearly a treasure.

Professor Tywin held the parchment scroll, turned to a certain page, and with a black raven feather stained with the blood from the bottle, began to draw something seriously.

Not a single drop of blood fell, forming an obscure and incomprehensible pattern that shifted and changed in mid-air.

He quickly finished all the work, fumbled around in the collar of his robe, and pulled out two time converters.

Professor Tywin placed the time converter in the center of the pattern, and the two objects immediately suspended in mid-air.

He then pointed the wand at Robert's head.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Robert's face contorted in pain, and the wind stirred, causing the blood droplets in the crimson pattern to tremble.

This is undoubtedly a magic spell that requires a blood sacrifice, and Robert is the sacrifice.

With Robert's death, the short hand of the time-shifting mechanism began to spin violently.

A wisp of white smoke slowly emerged from the clock hand and, guided by the ebony wand, landed on the door knocker.

The door knocker absorbed all the energy of the time converter!

The door knocker let out a satisfied, joyful sound, as if it hadn't eaten anything so delicious in a long time, and it greedily demanded more energy.

But Tywin didn't care. He had stolen three Time-Turners, and now only one remained. He couldn't afford to destroy it.

He excitedly took off the door knocker, held it in his hand, gouged out Robert's left eye, placed it on the wooden door, and turned to leave.

These works of art are for Dumbledore!

"Thank you, William," Dumbledore said softly. "Let's go..."

William landed back on the office floor, where Dumbledore was already seated behind his desk. William sat down as well, waiting for Dumbledore to speak.

"A very complete memory," Dumbledore finally said. "It confirms my suspicions and proves that I am right."

Since you've come to me and decided to leave the time loop, do you understand now?

William nodded. The whole thing was very complicated, and if you weren't a wizard with a strong sense of logic, you wouldn't understand the ins and outs at all.

"Professor, the key is that time converter," William said quickly after carefully considering his words.

A time converter is a device used for time travel, resembling an hourglass hanging on a gold necklace. The number of times the hourglass is turned represents the number of hours that time is rewinded.

The time converter works because of the "hour reversal spell".

Wizards encapsulated this spell in a small, enchanted hourglass, which they wore around their necks and could spin a number of times depending on the number of hours they wished to rewind.

William first heard the term "Hour Reversal Charm" in Professor Binns' class, when Cho was asking about the Ravenclaw ring.

At the time, William didn't pay much attention because he didn't know the effect of the spell until he was studying a lot and saw it in a spellbook in seventh grade.

Dumbledore's advice to William to spend more time studying was significant; he knew William would discover the magic spell sooner or later.

From that day on, William began to suspect that Tywin had obtained a time-tamper, which allowed him to appear in several places at the same time.

Dumbledore had also warned William that Tywin Lannister was the one who attacked the Ministry of Magic.

Why did he attack the Ministry of Magic? Because the Ministry of Magic possessed all the time-twisters!

This is also why Fudge dared not make it public; what was lost was a time converter, which could very well change history, and the public would surely panic if they heard that.

"Now that you know about the Time-Turner, you should also figure out how Tywin managed to do all this?"

Dumbledore leaned back in his chair and asked in a very relaxed manner.

"I have a general idea," William said with a smile.

In all the portraits, the principals no longer pretended to be asleep; they seriously pricked up their ears and began to openly eavesdrop.

William said confidently, "Since four Tywins appeared at the same time, he must have used the Time-Turner at least three times within the same time period."

"The first time should have been when you went to Ravenclaw Tower."

I suspect that in the original timeline, you did indeed reach Ravenclaw Tower and then meet Professor Tywin.

Knowing he was no match for you, he used the Time-Turner to travel through time for the first time, stopping at the stairwell to await your arrival. Then, using Voldemort's information, he guided you back to the Headmaster's office.

Dumbledore nodded and said, "That's right, I heard the warning from Lady Grey at that time."

"If Tywin hadn't insisted, I definitely would have gone to Ravenclaw Tower."

William suddenly remembered what happened on the day of the Sorting Ceremony.

At that time, the Hufflepuff ghost fat monk mentioned that Barrow the Blood man had gone to see Lady Grey, saying that something had happened at Ravenclaw Tower.

It now seems that Tywin must have sneaked in.

He wasn't planning to steal the door knocker; he just wanted to confirm whether Ravenclaw's ring was indeed the door knocker.

This Ms. Grey is no ordinary person either. This is the first time William has ever known that ghosts have the ability to give warnings!

William suddenly became interested in Ms. Grey.

William's thoughts wandered for a moment, but he didn't let them drift further. He continued, "In the fifth-floor corridor, Tywin ran into Professor Snape."

But that person was Tywin Lannister in disguise using Polyjuice Potion, so this time he also used the Time-Turner, but it was definitely not the second time he had used it.

"And the reason?" A hint of appreciation flashed in Dumbledore's eyes.

"Tywin, who became Snape, was seriously injured, and there must have been several battles in between."

William continued, "On the corridor leading to the Ravenclaw Tower, Tywin encountered another attack."

The attack was a deliberate ambush; both men sustained injuries of varying degrees before they saw Tywin Lannister and disappeared using the Time-Turner.

I believe this was only the second time he used the time converter.

William extended his wand and skillfully stirred the Pensieve, revealing two Tywins locked in battle within it.

"Professor, look," William said, pointing to a spot.

"Tywin was not injured at first, but the 'Tywin' who was lying in ambush in the Ravenclaw corridor, preparing to attack, was injured."

After the attack, were the two people's wounds exactly the same?

William spoke faster and faster, and he said seriously, "This means that after Tywin was attacked, he used the Time-Turner to travel back in time and then lay in ambush in the corridor."

He didn't know who attacked him, even though the person looked exactly like him, but he suspected that someone had also used the compound decoction.

But as time passed, the "Tywin" who attacked him didn't come; instead, it was his original self who appeared!

William's words echoed in the office, and all the principals whispered among themselves.

William's meaning is simple: Tywin encountered another "self," and the two fought. In order to investigate, he traveled back in time and ambushed in the corridor.

But by a twist of fate, the person who traveled back in time was the very person who attacked him!
