I Was Spotted By Grindelwald and Went To Hogwarts

Sean didn't wake up his roommate who was still in a daze. He put on his clothes and walked towards the common room. The first person he met was a petite silver-haired girl.

Stephanie is currently in fifth grade.

Different from the cold image in the past, the other party was wearing thick bear pajamas, and his bright silver waist-length hair was lightly tied into a ponytail.

However, it wasn't just the difference in image, her previous face also showed fear and shock that didn't fit the cute image.

The grudge between the two has now been eliminated. Sean originally hated Stephanie who approached him with other ideas, and the gift she gave him was also used to monitor him, which made him very unhappy.

However, Stephanie was helping Grindelwald after all, and she was now Grindelwald's only direct student. Coupled with the continuous big events that happened later, Sean's original dislike for Stephanie was nothing.

Just treat them like ordinary classmates.

Sean waved his hand casually as a greeting, and then walked straight towards the passage. He was going to ask the professors about the situation.

Originally, Stephanie subconsciously pursed her lips when she saw Sean. However, she saw that the boy who used to be dismissive of her actually waved to her with a normal expression.

That, is he saying hello to himself, right?

She quickly turned her head and looked around to make sure she was the only one around.

He greeted me...

Under Stephanie's gold-rimmed glasses, her light blue eyes became as dark as a starry night.

She took off her glasses, and the struggle in her eyes gradually turned into determination.

On the other side, Sean was about to walk out of the common room, but his step forward was interrupted by a voice.

"Xiao...Mr. Wallop, can you talk to me?"

Sean looked back and saw Stephanie talking to him, but her usual expression of keeping away from strangers had disappeared.

Although there is still no fluctuation in expression, the voice can be heard.

She was a little embarrassed and a little scared.

Sean paused and shrugged: "Okay, you can say it, but I'm in a hurry and I have to go find the professor."

Hearing his promise, Stephanie's hands hidden under her sleeves squeezed tightly, and her tone even sounded a little cheerful.

"Soon...and your doubts should be answered..."

Stephanie replied, and then she walked over quickly as if she was worried that Sean would regret it.

With her bright silver low ponytail swaying, she quickly walked up to Sean and looked up at him.

The height hasn't changed at all... This was the first thought that came to Sean's mind.

When she first entered Hogwarts, the other person was a little shorter than Sean. Now, more than two years later, Stephanie is almost half a head shorter than Sean.

He suspected that when he came of age, Stephanie might not be able to reach his chin with the top of her head.

But... Sean took half a step back.

You don't need to be so close just to say something.

Stephanie bit her lip slightly, but she passed Sean and walked to the largest stone wall in the common room.

That was the wall where the passageway entrance was located. There was nothing else except some potted plants and hanging paintings. Sean felt that it was bare more than once.

Stephanie walked up to the stone wall, closed her eyes, and started walking back and forth.

This action made Sean's eyes gleam.

This is the action of entering the Room of Requirement, and this is not the corridor on the eighth floor...

In the Ravenclaw common room, the only stone wall was lined up, and soon, a wooden door appeared on the wall.

"It's you..." Sean narrowed his eyes.

Stephanie turned to look at him, then nodded slightly: "It's me, you should have gone to find Helena -"

As if she was worried about something, she added: "I'm not monitoring you, but you know there is someone who is one step ahead of you. Only Helena knows about this."

Sean showed a rather strange expression. He did not expect that the person who entered the Ravenclaw Chamber of Secrets first was Stephanie.

And yesterday, Helena said something like that again - "If I guessed correctly, that person really wants to do something for you."

What does Stephanie want to do for herself?

This left Sean a little confused.

In fact, there is no entanglement of interests between the two, and there is no deep hatred. It's just that Sean simply didn't like people who approached him with other intentions from the beginning.

In fact, apart from helping Grindelwald monitor her, Stephanie did not do anything to harm herself.

However, why is she helping herself, and how is she going to help herself?

Strange girl...

Stephanie stood in front of the wooden door, her face calm: "In a few minutes, other students will come out. Some things are not convenient here, can you go inside to talk?"

"I can guarantee that I don't mean to hurt you. You know, except for the permission of the Room of Requirement, no one can open the door in the Ravenclaw common room out of thin air." She added again, like a worried little girl. girl.

Sean was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

Stephanie left her back to Sean and walked in ahead of him.

When Sean also walked in, the wooden door sank gently back until it disappeared without a trace.

Inside the Room of Requirement, what caught Sean's eyes was a bedroom with extremely simple decoration.

All the furnishings in the room were small, even the bed. Sean estimated that he could just straighten his legs when he lay on it. The biggest thing in the room was a cushion that was big enough for people to sink into. To be precise, that It's a beanbag.

Stephanie seemed to relax a lot after entering the room. She looked around and finally waved.

One of Sean's favorite velvet wing chairs appeared in the bedroom, and Stephanie pulled the beanbag over and sunk herself into it.

Sean walked to the chair and sat down. Then, Stephanie, who was sinking into the sofa opposite, raised her head and looked at him, with an incomprehensible look in her dark eyes.

After a moment of silence, the girl finally said: "You should have noticed that yesterday, October 27th, Thursday, only had four hours."

Sure enough, time disappeared...

Sean nodded: "Then my watch is not broken...how do you know?"

"Information, I found Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets at the end of my second year. She left a lot of information, including a description of this situation." Stephanie replied.

At the end of second grade, that was before I entered school. It was early enough...

Seeing that Sean didn't speak, Stephanie continued: "Someone has carried out ultra-long distance time travel. That person may have gone back to a very long time in the past, maybe ten years, or even a hundred years. This will cause the current time and space to become disordered. .”

Sean frowned slightly and asked: "As far as I know, there is currently only one type of time turner that can perform time travel, and the time turner should not be enough to provide the energy to go back to such a long time."

Stephanie nodded: "Yes, the general time converter can go back to the past five hours at most. The Ministry of Magic has set it up for each converter to avoid accidents caused by exceeding five hours, and there are many restrictions. I don't know Who traveled long distances at this level, otherwise this change would not have happened.”

She put her hands around her knees on the beanbag, with a look of reminiscence on her face.

"I have had access to the Time-Turner files of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries, which mention similar incidents."

"There was a wizard named Héloïse Mintab. She was a mute person in the Department of Mysteries. She once used a time-turner to travel back in time in an experiment, but she died because the time exceeded a few hours."

"During an experiment in traveling back in time, Héloïse was trapped in the year 1402 for five days. When she finally returned to the present, her body was five centuries older and irreparably damaged, ending up in St. Go passed away at the Magic Hospital for Injuries and Maladies. Her travels changed the life trajectories of all the people she met in the past. At least 25 descendants disappeared from modern times and became "never born". In addition, there are some There are worrying signs that time in the past has also been disturbed: the Tuesday following her return to the present day lasted a total of two and a half days, while Thursday lasted only four hours."

Stephanie's words set off a storm in Sean's heart.

This is an extremely serious space-time paradox problem!

He asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure? This is different from the principle of the time converter. A wizard who goes back to the past should live until the time point when she uses the converter. Even if she really goes back to five hundred years ago, then She won’t just travel there for five days and then come back, but live in the present.”

Stephanie shook her head: "I don't know about that. In theory, your statement is correct, but there is too little research on time travel in the wizarding world."

Sean couldn't help but fell into deep thought, his brows knitted tightly together.

This formed a conclusion that was contrary to one of his long-held views.

Sean has been curious about the time turner. He has also studied it carefully. Based on the experiences of the trio in the original timeline, the time turner actually complies with Novikov's self-consistency principle.

In other words, there are no multiple timelines, no parallel universes, and no grandparent-grandson paradox.

You can go back in time, but you can't change the course of history.

Our world is the final outcome that has been changed.

But now, the information Stephanie gave directly overturned Sean's idea, and there were facts to prove it - about 20 hours on October 27th had disappeared directly into the long river of history.

Across the way, Stephanie looked at Sean, who was frowning and thinking. She tilted her head and said nothing, but there was a relaxed look on her face.

It was silent but not breathless, and she liked that feeling.

After a long time, Sean raised his head: "Is there any more news?"

He believed me! Stephanie buried her head to prevent the excitement in her eyes from showing, and then said softly.

"Two pieces of news. First, there is no time turner at the Ministry of Magic."

"No more?" Sean asked doubtfully.

"Yes, this is also the reason why I can inquire about the time travel accident files. I don't know the specific time, but all the time turners in the Ministry of Magic have been destroyed, and the Department of Mysteries does not preserve these original top-secret files as well as before. So serious," Stephanie said.

Sean thought about his previous conversation with Percy, who didn't use the time turner at that time.

"No one left?"

"At least the Ministry of Magic has none left. As far as I know, every time turner will be registered by the Ministry of Magic. Whether it is borrowed, lost, etc., it needs to be recorded in the file."

Sean immediately thought of the person who traveled long distances in time, maybe it was related to that person...

Stephanie continued to talk about the second news: "I suspect that this matter may be related to Professor Dumbledore..."

"Professor Dumbledore? Why do you say that?"

There was a trace of struggle in Stephanie's eyes, her relaxed expression disappeared, and now she pursed her lips.

Um? Sean's eyes showed doubts.

There's something wrong with this girl's expression...

The bedroom was silent again, but this time the atmosphere seemed much more solemn.

Finally, Stephanie took a deep breath, as if she had made some important decision.

She didn't mention Dumbledore, but instead talked about the 'betrayal' that the two of them had always understood and never mentioned.

"I, I always wanted to apologize for that incident before, but I didn't know how to say it, and... and..." Stephanie gritted her teeth and said it loudly, "That day, when you entered Ravenclaw, I knew it when we were in the secret room, I was there at the time..."

As she spoke, she even struggled to stand up from the beanbag, with panic and urgency in her voice.

"I didn't mean to follow you! I was just curious about who entered Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets and saw you... I, I didn't know how to show up and tell you this, so I have been hiding in the Room of Requirement. inside……"

Her voice gradually dropped, and she didn't even dare to look up at Sean.

People with Room of Requirement access can indeed tell when someone has entered the Chamber of Secrets...

Wait... Sean's eyes narrowed slightly.

When he was in first grade, he went out to find the Room of Requirement in the middle of the night. He hid in the Vanishing Cabinet because he heard footsteps outside the room, and thus met Grindelwald. (See Chapter 25)

At that time, Filch and Mrs. Norris were also looking for guys hanging out in the middle of the night...

Normally, if there is someone in the house, the Room of Requirement will not open the door to the second guest unless the needs are exactly the same. People with permission can come and go freely - does that mean that the first time I met Grindelwald may not be an accident, but inevitable...

Sean raised his head and looked at Stephanie.

Stephanie pinched the corner of her pajamas, and the bear pattern on it was wrinkled.

Sure enough, he thought of that time... The girl sighed in her heart.

Stephanie's hands trembled slightly, and she finally pulled the hem of her pajamas, held in her breath and shouted loudly.

"I know you will think about the first grade, and I know I have no credibility with you! The monocle is indeed used to monitor you! I am indeed the... spy placed in Hogwarts by Mr. Grindelwald! But I haven't done anything else but that monocle, and it was just an accident in first grade! And, and..."
