Chapter 368 Why Don’t You Hang Them on the Roof and Whip Them Hard with a Whip?

Because of this, Ivan has been reluctant to meet with Dumbledore, and this feeling of powerlessness makes him very uncomfortable.

But what makes Ivan a little strange is that from the time he entered the door until now, he has not felt any sign that Dumbledore has used Legilimency. He wonders if he has already used it on Hermione and he did not notice it.

"Can you tell me what you used the time turner to do?" Dumbledore asked.

"This is some personal matter. It's not convenient for me to tell you, Professor!" Ivan hesitated and shook his head.

What could he say? Said that he returned to Knockturn Alley and killed a group of vicious dark wizards to save Asia?

Although the people who died were some thugs, he was just a thirteen-year-old wizard now, and with so many lives in his hands, it was hard to say what Dumbledore would think after hearing the news.

Ivan's words disappointed Dumbledore, but he had no intention of continuing to ask. Ivan insists that he doesn't want to say anything, so no matter how much he asks, he won't be able to find out anything.

"In this case, I must punish you accordingly for your violation of the rules!" Dumbledore said in a deep voice.

Ivan's heart was in his throat, while Hermione pursed her lips in fear.

Dumbledore clasped his fingers together, looked at Ivan with his blue eyes, and said.

"First of all, Hals! You secretly used the time turner to go back to the past, which violated the Ministry of Magic's regulations. Gryffindor House will be deducted one hundred points because of your behavior!"

"And you, Miss Granger!" Dumbledore turned his eyes to Hermione again, "You have not fulfilled your due supervisory responsibilities, so I will deduct another fifty points from Gryffindor House. ! And confiscate this time turner because you do not have the ability to keep it."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he waited silently for the two of them to digest the news.

Hermione lowered her head and was very sad, while Ivan was a little surprised.

That's it? Points deducted?

Ivan was confused, and after thinking for a while, he took the initiative to speak.

"Professor, what about compensation? I broke the time turner. How many galleons do I need to compensate the Ministry of Magic?"

Ivan asked Dumbledore about the approximate price of the Time Turner, and he felt a little distressed at the same time. Although most of the gold galleons he saved were obtained from Lockhart, it was still hard-earned money!

It was just that Dumbledore didn't speak for a long time. Ivan's heart sank and he asked tentatively.

"Is three thousand Galleons enough?"

"Five thousand Galleons?" Ivan felt his heart clenching together, and Dumbledore remained silent.

"Ten thousand Galleons?!" Ivan was desperate. He could only come up with 10,000 Galleons at most.

Where did you get so much money? Dumbledore glanced at Ivan in surprise. He wondered if Ivan had done something shameful after returning to the past.

"There is no need for compensation. You are lucky this time. I happen to know a master alchemist who should be able to repair this time turner." Dumbledore explained.

Ivan slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense expression relaxed. That way, they don't have to worry about the Ministry of Magic getting in trouble with them.

Hermione was a little surprised. She had clearly read in a book that the method of making a time turner had been lost for hundreds of years. It was said that no one knew how to make and repair a time turner now.

Ivan did remember that Bock told him that Nick Flamel might still retain the method of making a time turner.

And Nick Flamel happens to be one of Dumbledore's friends, so the alchemist master mentioned by the old professor can only be him!

Thinking of this, Ivan was somewhat moved. It would not be easy to improve his current level of alchemy. Nick Flamel was one of the few people in the magic world who had the ability to teach him.

Ivan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak. He had just broken a time turner and was really too embarrassed to mention his request to meet with Nick Flamel to Dumbledore.

Besides, he and Nick Flamel were not related, and there was no reason for him to teach him alchemy.

"Professor Dumbledore, what about our classes?" Hermione suddenly thought of the class schedule arranged for tomorrow morning. Now that there is no time turner, she no longer has the ability to take several classes at the same time.

"Then we need to cancel several conflicting courses, and you will personally apologize and explain to the professors of each subject!" After speaking, Dumbledore paused, and then said seriously,

"So I hope you can remember this profound lesson."

Seeing that the two men nodded solemnly and took these words into their hearts, Dumbledore waved his hand. "Okay, if there's nothing else, you can leave!"

"Thank you, professor!" Ivan said gratefully before leaving.

Ivan knew that if Dumbledore hadn't found someone to help repair the time turner, they would have been held accountable by the Ministry of Magic, and it would not have been something that could be solved by deducting points.

After the two left the principal's office, the place became quiet again.

Dumbledore stared at the severely damaged time turner in his hand, lost in thought.

In the portrait at the back, an old man with a beard chattered.

"Albus, you are too kind to these erring students. They broke a precious time-turner and planned to lie and conceal what they had done.

If I were the principal, I would hang them on the roof and whip them hard! Then lock them in a small dark room until they are willing to tell the truth! "

"Mr. Black, I need to remind you that the bad habit of corporal punishment of students was abolished decades ago! I must act in accordance with school rules," Dumbledore explained casually.

In the existing school rules, it is not that there are no means of punishment.

Just considering that Ivan and Hermione had too many classes and little time, and these small punishments would not have much effect, Dumbledore did not mention it.

As for Ivan's deliberate concealment of what he did back in the past, Dumbledore was a little helpless. Unless necessary, he did not want to use legilimens to learn everything.

In particular, he has noticed that Ivan is on guard against this, and has even learned to close his brain and create some false memories to fool himself.

Forcibly using Legilimency under such circumstances will only have the opposite effect, making Ivan even more dissatisfied and wary of himself.

"Fox! Take me to Nick!" Dumbledore thought for a while, held the time turner, stood up, turned to look at Fox, and said.
