Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

"So that's it."

"That's right, that's the closed loop of time. What has already happened will happen again."

Delphi realized there was something wrong with the time converter she was using; shouldn't it be able to travel back in time by twisting it a few times? What was with the time tunnel around her?

"Oh! It's a little girl I've never seen before. Let Big Sister Meryl take a look."

The white-haired nightmare appeared in the time tunnel, its hand reaching out to Delphi. This simple action sent chills down Delphi's spine, filling him with overwhelming terror.

"Make way, make way, the brakes have failed, we'll kill you but not bury you, yo ho, ahahaha."

A giant Kun fish appeared in the time tunnel. A girl, shouting and yelling, sat on the Kun fish, feeling the excitement of racing, and crashed into Delphi and passed through Meryl.

"Oh, it's Mu Xiaotong. The traveler of time."

"It's you, big sister White-haired Succubus, Magical Girl Merry."

The two exchanged a smile, their expressions mirroring those of people having the same amusement. Delphi, having gotten lost in time while practicing with the Time-Turner on Hinata Hoshino, was instead helped to reach her destination by bumping into the Kun fish.

When Hinata Hoshino reads Delphi's memories, the transcription seal left by his future self, more than ten years later, is triggered.

Hinata Hoshino stroked his chin. A closed loop of time? How interesting. Based on my memories from over a decade later, Delphi accomplished quite a bit during this era.

However, the memory that Hyuga Hoshino was most interested in was that night with Bellatrix in Azkaban—it was quite exciting. Sure enough, the tactic of threatening important figures in the Sakura Kingdom never failed him.

Because Voldemort, resurrected through Edo Tensei, was watching from the sidelines, Bellatrix's expression was truly amusing.

Hyuga Hoshino suddenly realized that if Voldemort's Edo Tensei body had been watching at that time, and Bellatrix, this simp, was a virgin, then whose daughter was she?

Hyuga Hoshino slapped his forehead, dumbfounded. Just look at that face, and you'll know. So, Voldemort was already like a victim; how did he manage to commit such a heinous act?

Hinata Hoshino shrugged and erased Delphi's memory. Delphi went crazy and rushed towards the secret room under the trapdoor.

When Delphi arrived, Quirrell had already vanished, and Voldemort's soul had turned into black smoke. Delphi watched Voldemort slip away and let out a roar of resentment.

"No!"

Although Voldemort was arrogant and believed himself to be invincible, he still left behind a contingency plan: a portion of his memories. Delphi saw these memories and decided to save Voldemort by disrupting the key moments in Harry Potter's fight against him.

Hinata Hoshino thought that she was overthinking it. She really thought he didn't exist, right?

Delphi raised his wand, and Harry Potter was terrified. However, with neither the wand nor the Amplifier at hand, Harry Potter had no choice but to close his eyes and await death.

Avada Kedavra

"Vulcan clears the way"

Vulcan cleared a path to counter Avada Kedavra's attack, but the remaining flames continued their relentless advance towards Delphi. Delphi instinctively tried to use Apparition to evade them.

However, the next second she realized that she was at Hogwarts, where there was an anti-Apparition charm, and she could not use Apparition.

So she transformed into black mist, avoiding the flames, and slunk away. Delphi knew very well that time had a closed loop, and she couldn't kill Harry Potter at any other time.

The only option is to make changes at a specific point in time. "Harry Potter, I will be back."

"Professor Dumbledore, who is that?"

“I’m sorry, Harry, I’m not a god. I’m just an ordinary old woman, and I don’t know who she is.”

"Professor, come and see your senior."

“Sorry, Harry. He’s been poisoned by Avada Kedavra, so there’s no saving him. Fawkes, take us away.”

Fox was a little tired. He had made so many trips back and forth, but he still diligently carried the two people and the corpse to the school clinic.

“Headmaster, you shouldn’t let the students take such risks, increasing my workload. Oh my god, a student has died? Oh, it’s the Killing Curse! Who? How dare they, how dare they…”

Lady Pomfrey approached Li Yang's body and, after a brief examination, discovered traces of Avada Kedavra. Lady Pomfrey felt as if she were about to faint.

"Popito, please calm down, there are still wounded."

Hinata Hoshino, in his Dumbledore form, shakes Harry Potter's hand, indicating that there are still wounded who need treatment.

"Okay, Principal, I need to treat the wounded. The patient needs quiet. Please leave."

Madam Pomfrey gave him the order to leave, and Hyuga Hoshino's version of Dumbledore had no choice but to depart.

"Harry, get some rest. Remember, your first Quidditch match is next week."

"Principal, please leave."

“Okay, Poppy.”

Fox led Hinata Hoshino back to the headmaster's office. Dumbledore hurried back, saw Hinata Hoshino, and nodded to him.

It indicated that everything was now in his hands.

Chapter 127 Grindelwald

Hinata Hoshino walked to the side, took out the modified memories, and placed them into the Pensieve. He then left with the little dragon, Nobeta.

The next thing to worry about was Dumbledore. After quietly reviewing all the memories, Dumbledore began to feel troubled.

After all, a student got into trouble while he was teaching. Although the student was killed by Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort, the responsibility did not lie with him.

Dumbledore pondered for a moment. He wrote two letters, which were then delivered to the headquarters of the Daily Prophet by an owl. The following day's edition of the Daily Prophet successfully ignited the emotions of the entire wizarding world.

The front page headline of the Daily Prophet is that Hogwarts' second-year students have successfully earned the recognition of the Gryffindor sword and retrieved the Ravenclaw tiara and the Hufflepuff Cup.

The second edition features the return of the mysterious figure, who possesses Quirrell, the former Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts and now the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

This resulted in the unfortunate death of a seventh-year student at Hogwarts, Gryffindor School.

The news of Voldemort's possible return has unsettled most people, including some Death Eaters who have not yet been purged, among them Lucius Malfoy.

However, the front-page headlines in the Daily Prophet overshadowed most people's emotions. Someone had gained recognition for the Gryffindor sword, the long-lost Ravenclaw tiara had resurfaced, and the Hufflepuff Cup had been found.

Seeing the front-page headline in the Daily Prophet, Hinata Hoshino roughly understood Dumbledore's meaning. He'd probably use it to boost Gryffindor's grades in the next semester's year-end review. Harry Potter and his friends would also get extra points.

Gryffindor is about to transform into Gryffindor, washing away the shame of Slytherin's seven consecutive years of losing the House Cup.

Delphi appeared in Nurmengard, and Grindelwald immediately sensed her arrival.

Because of Grindelwald's prophetic abilities, he finally saw a scene from the near future once again. A girl from more than a decade in the future would come to him, inviting him to participate in a plan to save Voldemort. But what did Voldemort have to do with him? He didn't even know who Voldemort was.

However, Grindelwald thought she was a good pastime to pass the time. So Grindelwald prepared to welcome her properly. With a wave of his hand, Grindelwald easily knocked out the guard and snatched the wand from his hand.

He waved his wand a couple of times, dissatisfied. It wasn't as comfortable as his own. And judging from the wand, it was an Ollivander product. Both the materials and the core were too conservative; it really wasn't suitable for him.

Delphi arrived at the foot of the Nurmengard Tower, prepared to face a powerful enemy, only to find that there were no guards at the foot of the tower. She climbed up floor by floor, only to find that there were no guards between each floor either.

By this time, Grindelwald had already used his wand to groom and tidy himself up.

"Hello, Mr. Grindelwald. I am Delphi Riddle, daughter of the great Dark Lord Voldemort."

"Voldemort? I know, that little guy who only knows how to create panic and never knows how to win people's hearts."

"Is that so, sir? Although you know how to win people's hearts, haven't you still failed? Aren't you just hiding in this tower, barely clinging to life?"

“My child, I never consider that a failure. My spirit and my will still remain in this world, so I have succeeded.”

"Sir, I have come hoping you can help me save my father, the great Dark Lord."

"But I'm a failure, aren't I, child? How can a failure save someone?"

Delphi was speechless, unsure how to begin, and continued to persuade Grindelwald to help.

The Ministry of Magic near Nurmengard discovered the guards were missing and urgently contacted Dumbledore for assistance. After all, throughout Grindelwald's life, he had only ever been defeated by Dumbledore.

Dumbledore, having just resolved Quirrell's matter, is still troubled about who should be the professor for Defense Against the Dark Arts in the second half of the semester.

An owl brought news that something had happened in Nurmengard. Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh.

Fox brought Hyuga Hoshino, who was still playing with Hermione when he saw Fox and realized there was big trouble ahead.

Let Fawkes lead her away. "Hermione, Professor Dumbledore needs to see me. I'll be going now."

"Mr. Zhang, would you be interested in meeting my good friend, the other owner of this notebook?"

"Grindelwald? Interesting. I'll grant your wish, but I dare not ask."

A flash of flame appeared in Fawkes, and Hyuga Hoshino and Dumbledore appeared outside Nurmengard. Hyuga Hoshino keenly sensed a faint presence of time and space in the air; it seemed Delphi had arrived.

I wonder what Grindelwald saw? He, a prophet, encountered someone who traveled through time. Wouldn't that pique his curiosity?

Based on memories transmitted from the future of this world, there is no recollection of Delphi ever meeting Grindelwald.

In other words, this is yet another variable. Does it mean that minor trends can be changed, but major trends cannot?

Because Grindelwald will never leave the tower. Therefore, whether Delphi sees him or not has no impact on the future.

Dumbledore's expression turned somewhat grave. He had never expected that his old friend would cause such a commotion at this time.

Fox teleported the two to the top floor of the tower, where Grindelwald was.

Grindelwald had a table with two cups of tea that had gone cold. Dumbledore looked at the guards who had fainted on the top floor.

After examining him, Dumbledore found he was merely unconscious. He breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing Grindelwald as he did, he knew that if Grindelwald wanted to leave, the guards would be gone. He wouldn't be just unconscious like this.

Grindelwald chuckled as he watched the flustered Dumbledore. But when he saw Hyuga Hoshino, his expression became playful.

"I see. You are the variable that makes my future uncertain."

Hyuga Hoshino speculated that Grindelwald could still see some fragments of the future through Dumbledore, while Grindelwald probably couldn't see anything from Hyuga Hoshino, which is why he said Hyuga Hoshino was a variable.

Hinata Hoshino shrugged, pointed, and rocks emerged from the floor, forming two stone benches.

Dumbledore can now view Grindelwald with a normal attitude; at least, that's what Dumbledore himself thinks.

"So, Mr. Grindelwald, you've seen her?"

Because his and her pronunciations of English are different, Grindelwald understood what Hyuga Hoshino meant and felt that Hyuga Hoshino was much more interesting than Dumbledore.

“That’s right, Dumbledore, you’re not introducing your students. If I remember correctly, that kid Newt claims to be your favorite student. What, he didn’t come along?”

Chapter 128 Miss Bu Niao

Grindelwald's tone was somewhat strange, while Dumbledore's expression remained unchanged.

Hinata Hoshino had a feeling that he was now somewhat like a child caught in the middle of an old couple arguing.

“Gellert, I want you to tell me who has come.”

"Oh, are you ordering me around?"
