In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Chapter 487 485. A world with consequences

Jon and Slughorn remain in the Department of Mysteries.

Ever since the duel between Dumbledore and Voldemort, there had been constant loud noises above them.

They were well aware of the intensity of the battle above. Neither Jon nor Slughorn could actually sit here. However, they did not forget Dumbledore's words and were always staring at the time switch. device, knowing that the movement on the upper level gradually disappeared, and the time gradually came to eight o'clock in the evening.

At 7:58, Jon had already prepared the small amount of floo powder.

Obviously, the floo network connected to Dumbledore's office through the fireplace is unlikely to be received by Dumbledore himself. It is more likely that he left some additional arrangements so that Jon and the others could receive what they needed. information they learned.

When the minute hand on the pocket watch finally pointed to 0 and the hour hand pointed to 8, Slughorn nodded solemnly to Jon.

Jon didn't stop, he sprinkled a small amount of floo powder into the fireplace, and soon a green flame ignited in it.

"Albus Dumbledore's office."

After he told the final location where the Floo Network needed to be connected, the flames in the fireplace began to jump. It didn't take long for the flames to form the old face that was so familiar to Jon.

Dumbledore's face appeared in the fireplace. He looked forward, his voice still as gentle as before.

"If you can see this photo, I guess I have really launched my final plan, Jon."

Hearing his tone, Jon didn't know why, but his heart sank slightly. He felt that Dumbledore's tone was a little wrong.

"As we had a long talk in my office for the first time after Horace left the carriage, Voldemort himself is not terrible. What is truly terrible is that we have never understood what is in him. What things were discovered that led to such changes?”

"At first, I guessed that one of his souls that was split and made into a Horcrux had a more subjective consciousness, and then he became himself, absorbed all the remaining souls, and competed with the main soul. But obviously all traces are there. It can be proven that this idea of ​​mine is wrong, as the changes in Voldemort are obviously much more complicated than this."

"That is to say, since you got the diary from Azkaban back, I have had deeper thoughts. I have reviewed everything that happened when Voldemort first appeared and fought me, as well as his performance at that time and what I have gained. With this show of power, it is not difficult to see that the source of his powerful power comes from the power of his soul."

"According to what I thought before, the reason why his soul has been strengthened in this way is because he has recovered the fragments of those Horcruxes, and thus has such magical power. But it is also the portrait of Slytherin that you have After I brought him back from the North Pole and communicated with him, I learned that the magic to recover the remnant soul in the Horcrux was given to Voldemort by him, and this magic itself did not have the effect of enhancing the soul, because it was originally It’s his thing.”

"From that time, I understood that Voldemort's real purpose of retrieving those remnant souls was actually just to regain the emotions and reason he had lost. And what really made him stronger was actually another way, but if things If this is really the case, there are two selves in Voldemort now. The one who has not regained his sanity is obviously the original him, and the cunning and cunning one obviously successfully recovered the Horcrux, and the later one. The reason why they are behind To become so strong is simply a new soul superimposed on an old soul, producing such an effect."

"This is a very puzzling question. According to Slytherin, only you can rediscover your soul. Only you can reintegrate the soul that has been divided. And that new The Voldemort who appeared can also do this, which means that the two Voldemorts are exactly the same, but they are not separate individuals. But how can there be two identical people in this world?"

In the fireplace, Dumbledore's face paused when he asked this question. The office was very quiet. Jon and Slughorn were both thinking about this question. Even Jon had always felt that The problem was Voldemort's soul, but in fact the soul itself could represent a person.

Two identical souls means the emergence of two identical people, and there were two identical Voldemorts in the world at the beginning, but later because one of them fused the split Horcrux, the other did not. That was the reason why there was such a difference between them.

After thinking about this, Jon suddenly saw the time turner that was continuously losing gold sand, and a chilling thought suddenly came to his heart!

"At first I couldn't figure out this problem no matter how much I thought about it. It wasn't until after the Triwizard Tournament that I came to the British Department of Mysteries and found out that all the time turners that had been used in the British Department of Mysteries suddenly and inexplicably lost their effect more than ten years ago. This gave me a very bold guess, so in order to prove this idea, I began to look for various supporting evidence. Including determining the time when these time turners completely lost their effect, I found a long period of time that Voldemort had Time remains in the secrets of the Department of Mysteries, as well as the golden gravel that Severus brought to us later, and now the strange time turner you found in the secret room of the Hall of Time."

"Time is a most wonderful thing, and it can indeed allow two identical people to exist in the same world at the same time. There was even a period of time when the Ministry of Magic made comprehensive improvements to the time turner in order to avoid such a situation. restrictions, because there has been a rumor that has been widely circulated since the time turner was first produced, that is, people who go back to the past must not meet their past selves, nor can they make any changes in the past, otherwise There will be extremely horrific consequences."

"And are we bearing the consequences for Voldemort?"

Jon was stunned, and Slughorn also opened his mouth!

Yes, there is only one possibility for two identical people to appear in this world. He reversed time, used a time turner to return himself to a past where he already had one, and then changed the past to make the future The situation where he used the time turner will never happen again. Then there are two identical people in this world that can no longer be called the original world!

This had an even greater impact on Jon, because Jon knew exactly what the original world was like!

Dumbledore would never be defeated, and Voldemort would never become a great man. After that, a series of stories happened around a boy named Harry Potter.

And just as Jon was digesting this shocking information, Dumbledore's voice continued to sound.

"When I thought about this, I was scared and excited. The fear was because time had been manipulated, which was a situation that had never been recorded. The excitement was because I might finally have figured out the real reason why two Voldemorts existed side by side. But then there was another There is an almost unsolvable problem before me. I have also talked with you privately, Jon. If Voldemort came to this world using a time turner, he would use the original Voldemort's Horcrux in this timeline to complete the task. If he loses his own soul, what is his method of maintaining youth and immortality?"

When this question came out of Dumbledore's mouth, Jon suddenly felt as if lightning exploded in his mind.

Having already guessed that this new Voldemort appeared using a time turner, the answer couldn't be easier to guess.

As a result, Jon's murmur almost sounded together with Dumbledore's voice.

"Voldemort, who uses the time turner, still uses Horcruxes to maintain his immortality, but the Horcrux that maintains his immortality is in another world where he no longer exists!"

Slughorn tugged at his hair, his eyes widened like two eggs, and turned to look at Jon and then back at Dumbledore, as if he had guessed what would happen if it really happened. Such consequences.

Not to mention that the time turner is not damaged, even if it is intact, it cannot bring people to another parallel world where cause and effect deviation has occurred. If the current source of Voldemort's immortality comes from the world he once lived in, that means This means that they will never be able to find the Horcruxes that belong to him, which means that they will never be able to kill him!

Jon's whole body was shivering, and he had already thought of this terrible consequence.

A Voldemort who has sense, ambition, cunning, insidiousness, unprecedented strength and can never be killed?

"That's almost a future that we can't even think about or face."

Dumbledore's calm voice was laced with disappointment and sadness.

"I don't want this guess to be true, and Gellert, Slytherin, and Delise don't want this guess to be true either. But the matter is already here, and we can't stop it just because we don't want it to be true. Dare to face it, so we need to first prove whether this thing is really what I think it is."

"So, I started today's attempt. The time turner you found is very likely to be the ticket to bring the Voldemort who does not belong to this world, and the connection between him and the Horcrux of another world I am also relying on this. As long as I can kill him once and verify whether he can be resurrected, and whether the source of the resurrection comes from this time turner, I will be able to prove everything I guessed."
