A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 901 Elderberry

The Ravenclaw tiara, one of the nine Deathly Hallows, is already rusty.

It did not demonstrate the ability to increase wisdom as the legends had suggested.

Nico had undergone examinations and concluded that:

Ravenclaw used prehistoric mysteries related to time to deliberately subject the crown to the ravages of ten thousand years.

The purpose is unclear... but the crown is ruined.

Of course, over the course of ten thousand years, the crown will only rust, which also highlights its extraordinary nature.

But no matter how extraordinary it is, it's still just a piece of junk... If you sell it as scrap, apart from Voldemort, probably no one else would want it.

What William wanted was a flawless crown.

Even if you're smart enough, who wouldn't want to grow even more wise?

Moreover, the Ravenclaw tiara and the bronze ring are a perfect match.

However, repairing it is by no means an easy task.

The safest method is definitely to unlock Nico's Alchemy Book, which contains the steps to repair the Deathly Hallows.

However, this method requires finding Slytherin's wand, but Tom is still in Evamony, waiting for the "flower to bloom".

I don't know when we'll have to wait.

The second approach is to fight time with time.

Since Ravenclaw has shifted the timeline of the crown backward, we can simply use the power of time to reverse it.

William doesn't know the prehistoric secrets, but the Department of Mysteries possesses that power.

The clocks in this room all embody the power of time.

Most importantly, he can guide this power and apply it to the crown.

Of course, we must also mention William's best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher—Tywin.

Back then, Professor Tywin Lannister stole several Time-Turners from the Ministry of Magic.

Although he played with time, killed himself, and became the ultimate employee, allowing William to successfully take over... he did actually obtain the Ravenclaw bronze ring.

Tywin's method was to use the dark magic from the Three Books of Mystic Philosophy to channel the power of the Time-Turner into the door knocker.

At that time, William found the spellbook in the Defense Against the Dark Arts office and copied its contents using a copying charm.

This book, written by the dark wizard Heinrich Agrippa, contains a great deal of magical information.

Over the years, William has studied this very deeply, which is why he dares to repair the crown in this way.

William, after drinking Felix Felicis, suddenly opened his eyes, a feeling of immense exhilaration flowing through his body.

He felt he could do anything... repairing the crown was a piece of cake.

William took out his wand and placed the crown on the ground.

However, before we can begin, we need an offering.

Back then, Tywin killed Prefect Robert and used his life as a blood sacrifice.

William has found a fine offering, right here in this room.

He turned his head to look at Luna and smiled at her.

Those eight teeth shimmered with glaze in the air, appearing exceptionally white.

That's right, the sacrifice is Luna... Of course, that's impossible!

How could William do such a thing? He simply wanted to remind the girl:

"Luna, this room is going to be dangerous. Go find Cedric and the others first."

Also, drinking the rest of the Felix Felicis will make you much safer.

Luna reluctantly looked away from the crown, hummed in agreement, then looked at William and said seriously, "Be careful."

After Luna left, William called out to the void, "Fox, don't be shy, come out and play!"

William called out several times before a song suddenly began, and Fox appeared out of thin air.

It flapped its wings, circled for a while, and finally stopped, hooking its claws around William's shoulders.

It stared at William, its eyes darting around, as if it wanted to peck him.

However, since Fox has come out, it has clearly accepted its fate as a "tool bird".

That's right, Phoenix Fox was the sacrifice.

Fox possesses immense magical power, capable of infinite resurrection... making him the perfect choice for a sacrifice.

It works better than any wizard.

Therefore, Fox once again proved with its actions:

There's a reason why every wizard wants to own a phoenix.

When you want to leave, the phoenix can appear in places where the wizard cannot apparite.

When you're trapped in a locked room and have no food, the phoenix can provide an endless supply of "chicken legs," making it practically a perpetual motion machine.

Its flames are also very powerful, and it can also provide a "blessing" buff.

Fox... forever a legend!

Of course, getting Fox to agree to do this kind of work wasn't that simple.

William will definitely have to go through Dumbledore's back door.

They also had to sign a series of humble agreements with Fox, such as... providing the best food.

But this guy, having nothing better to do, eats African tree snakes as snacks.

Tree snake skin is an ingredient in compound decoctions and is quite expensive... Who can afford to raise such a wasteful creature?

It's even more Trelawney-like than Boba Tea.

William had to beg and plead before he agreed to use the meat of the eight-eyed giant spider as a snack substitute.

(Aragok: Meow meow meow?)

The offerings are ready.

William held Fawkes in one hand, stood in the middle of the house, raised his wand, and loudly chanted a spell.

After the sound stopped, William pointed his wand at Fawkes, and it began to bleed.

Golden blood flowed into a pre-placed metal cup, and a chill suddenly ran through the air.

William's entire body was filled with magic, and he murmured to himself:

"The omnipotent darkness has aided me, making this blood as effective as I desire."

"Only blood separates light from darkness."

Fox suddenly burst into flames, soaring into the air, its body ablaze, spewing forth a spectacular display of fire.

The blood in the bowl, like water droplets, all floated up and slowly fell into William's hand.

In an instant, not only did lightning flash between his fingers, but his entire arm was also enveloped in dazzling golden light.

William's sleeves fluttered slightly without any wind, and he twisted his body, his wand swinging with the movement.

Many clocks crashed together, the sound of them shattering echoing incessantly.

William raised his head, his eyes blazing, and he held his wand high, unleashing an immense power of time that flowed through the air.

That immense power, like the Milky Way, crashed wildly against the clock.

The hummingbird, which had been in a cycle for who knows how many years, finally broke free of its restraints and hovered low in the sky.

But it accidentally bumped into that air wall and was immediately torn apart and shattered beyond recognition.

Fox, who was reborn as a fledgling after death, also encountered this force.

But it found that it was not dead. Instead, its wings began to grow and its body gradually grew larger.

It "grew up" again in an instant.

William's entire focus was on manipulating this power.

His robes billowed, making him appear like a demon god, and he twirled his wand, aiming it at the Ravenclaw crown.

That immense force then flowed downwards and struck the crown.

The crown, like a whale swallowing the sea, devoured all of time.

But it remained unchanged.

Inexplicably, William felt a surge of intuition from Felix Felicis, telling him that time was still insufficient.

William raised his wand, and the entire room exploded. Almost all the clocks, including the Time-Turner, shattered and flowed toward the crown.

After an unknown amount of time, the thick smoke gradually dissipated, and the chanting gradually subsided.

William finally smiled; his intuition told him... he had succeeded.

He suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the ground, and his smile, which had lasted for a few seconds, suddenly froze.

The crown disappeared, and all that remained on the ground was... a branch of elderberry with white flowers blooming.

William succeeded, but he also failed.

Or,

He overreacted.
