Once there was a wizard named Aloïs Mintaub, who, as the Silent Man of the Department of Mysteries, used a time converter to travel back in time during experiments but died due to the passage of several hours.
Aloïs Mintaub was trapped in a time loop that lasted five days in 1402 while returning to the past in an experimental attempt.
When Aloïs Mintaub finally returned to the present, she suddenly found her physical age increased by five centuries for unknown reasons, leading to irreparable damage to her body. She ultimately passed away at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.
Her travels caused the life paths of everyone she encountered in the past to change, with at least twenty-five descendants from the modern era vanishing, becoming "never born."
Furthermore, there are some concerning signs that suggest interference with time in the past. Aloïs Mintaub's return to the modern era on a Tuesday lasted for two and a half days, while the Thursday was reduced to only four hours.
Even when using the time converter in its intended manner, the passage of time would naturally occur.
Just like Hermione has been using the Time Turner to extend her study time so she can learn all subjects at once, which almost led her to collapse in the end.
On the surface, she studied for eight hours, but in reality, she had been studying for several more hours using the Time Turner. Her body experienced the fatigue of several hours of learning.
Using it for an extended period, while others aged a year, you would age two years, resulting in your age being one year older than others.
So, if used for studying, it indeed increases efficiency, but it's just a form of premature depletion of future time.
Due to the extreme danger posed by the Time Turner, the corresponding charm "Hour Reversal" that enables its use has been sealed by the Ministry of Magic, making it impossible to learn through conventional means.
All completed Time Turners are sealed away in the Department of Mysteries' Hall of Time.
The Ministry of Magic has established hundreds of laws surrounding the Time Turner due to its unique properties. Generally, applications for its use are not approved unless in exceptional circumstances.
George is certainly thrilled by the prospects of time magic and the Time Turner, which he knows he must master.
Because time magic is one of the most advanced forms of magic in any world.
Even if the laws of time differ in different worlds, and even if one learns time magic, it cannot change the already established fate. Using it to enhance learning efficiency is still fantastic.
Since he has achieved immortality, he does not mind prematurely depleting his future time. His future time is infinite.
Of course, it's easy to say that, but it's not so easy to obtain a Time Turner as it is to learn and master the sealed "Hour Reversal" charm.
"Apparently, it's time to show some real skills."
After separating from Professor McGonagall and Hermione on the eighth floor, George followed Snape to the Headmaster's office.
In the office, Dumbledore was looking at a Muggle-published book on knitting techniques.
"Sit down first."
Seeing Snape bring in George, Dumbledore put down the book and gestured for them to sit down.
"Headmaster, the Ministry of Magic secretly allowed Dementors to search the train, and George acted mistakenly, which was not wrong."
Snape sat down first and spoke up.
He feels it is his duty to protect his own students, especially since George is his most advanced student.
Whether Dumbledore was looking to blame George or not, it can't be wrong to start by speaking in his defense.
"It seems that choosing Slytherin was a wise decision."
George inwardly sighed to himself as he saw Snape completely take his side.
Among the four heads of houses, Snape may not be the one with the best morals or the most fair and just, but he is definitely the most protective of his own.
This is also one of the reasons why he never revealed that Pansy was a Squib.
Sirius Black was innocent and just, but he had no personal connection to him.
On the contrary, during their school years, Sirius Black and several others bullied Snape.
Snape certainly made mistakes as well, probably saying a lot of things he shouldn't have.
But since Snape was his housemaster and had always been supportive of him, showing care and concern, George naturally sided with Snape.
So, he had no intention of clearing Sirius Black's name prematurely, just let him suffer a bit more, which he thought would make Snape happy.
Let things develop naturally until the last moment. As long as the Squib is not released, and she helps Voldemort revive him.
"Severus, I have no intention of blaming George. He did well to kill a Dementor to protect his classmates."
"I just want to see the spell he used to kill a Dementor."
Dumbledore explained with a smile.
When Dumbledore heard from Fudge about George using magic to kill a Dementor, he was quite surprised.
Because even he couldn't directly kill a Dementor, a dark creature.
Or, in the current stage of the magical world, there is no way to directly kill a Dementor, and the Killing Curse is not effective either.
Dementors and the Ministry of Magic have a cooperative relationship. Dementors help the Ministry guard Azkaban, and in return, the Ministry allows them to openly suck out the happiness of the prisoners in Azkaban.
As for why Dementors don't go around randomly sucking the happiness of people, it's because they are bound by the Unforgivable Curses.
Because wizards can't kill Dementors directly, but they can use the Patronus Charm to gather them into one place and confine them there.
For example, a box made with the Vanishing Charm and some protective spells.
In this way, Dementors can only stay in the box until they gradually fade away due to long periods without food.
"I heard it's a new spell you created yourself?"
At this moment, Snape also turned his head towards George, his curiosity matched by Dumbledore's.
In the entire student body of Hogwarts, George is undeniably a genius, having reached the level of a seventh-year student's magical knowledge by the end of his first year.
He is also exceptionally skilled in magical dueling and has created a special flying spell.
Even for him, it wasn't until fifth grade when he had enough skill to create his own new spell.
But honestly, considering his knowledge of George's magical abilities, Dumbledore is quite surprised that George has managed to create a new spell.
Because he believes that George's current level of skill is not yet sufficient to support the creation of a new spell.
But magic creation is inherently random, and often it's luck rather than sheer skill that plays a role.
"In fact, it's not entirely that."
George looked at Snape and Dumbledore, paused for a few seconds, and then slowly replied.
He was about to reveal everything, no longer pretending.
Originally, he had planned to say that he created a new spell that could kill Dementors based on the Patronus Charm. After all, he had indeed learned the Patronus Charm from Amy and could demonstrate it immediately.
But after carefully thinking about it on the train, he felt that saying it like that would have too many loopholes.
With Dumbledore and Snape's intelligence and understanding of magic, they probably wouldn't believe it.
