Volume 8: In this Hogwarts without the Dark Lord Chapter 505
Facing John and Lily, the surprise Dumbledore showed was obviously not as great as the shock McGonagall showed.
He looked like he was facing magic that he did not understand yet, but was confident that he could master easily. He clasped his hands together and motioned for Jon, Lily, and Mag to sit down.
"Well, why don't you two introduce yourselves?"
McGonagall sat down, but she still looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, as if she suspected that Dumbledore had forgotten what Lily looked like. She wanted to remind him that the witch in front of him was not to say that she was cast in the same mold as Lily when she was young, but she was 99% similar to her.
Jon and Lily sat calmly opposite Dumbledore.
The first thing they needed to do when they came to this world was actually completed after they met Dumbledore.
In this world where Voldemort has disappeared, Dumbledore is the benchmark among wizards in the entire magical world. With his help, Jon feels that there is basically no chance of any problems on their trip.
"Lily Evans, Professor Dumbledore. This was my name when I was a student in this castle. Later, when I got married, of course, I became Lily Potter."
After hearing what Lily said, McGonagall frowned even more tightly. She thought that almost no one could lie in front of Dumbledore, but she could not see anything on Dumbledore's calm face. He just turned his gaze to Jon again.
Meeting his gaze, Jon spoke.
"Jon Green, Professor, Hogwarts... Um, fifth year, yes, I am a fifth year student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
This made Mag even more shocked, as she had been focusing on Lily and had always thought that Jon was just a child she brought along.
She seemed shocked that Jon, at such a young age, had such a great ability to lie with his eyes open. She wrote the admission notices herself every year. It was impossible for a child who was obviously not even 10 years old to receive an admission letter from Hogwarts, not to mention that he was in the fifth grade.
Dumbledore's face remained calm, but his attention was obviously more focused on John.
"It sounds like a fairy tale, but I don't think there will be a day when a witch and a boy will come here and tell me such a joke. So, you will give me a reasonable explanation for this matter, right?"
Lily didn't say anything else, but turned to look at Jon, which obviously meant that she was giving the right to speak to him.
This made McGonagall feel a little absurd, and even Dumbledore, who had always been calm, showed a hint of curiosity on his face.
Jon did not hold back, he directly took out the two most fundamental things that could prove their identities.
The time converter with constantly rotating hands that Voldemort brought with him, and the blue-dial space converter that brought them to this world.
"What Professor Potter and I said is true. She is really Lily Potter, and I am indeed a student of Hogwarts. It's just that we are both from another world."
Dumbledore narrowed his eyes slightly. He looked at the two converters that John took out of his hand. He did not question their words at the first time, but asked.
"Can I see these two?"
Of course Jon didn't refuse and naturally handed it to Dumbledore.
After carefully observing the two things, he looked at Jon again.
"So you come from another world that is roughly the same as this one, with the same Hogwarts, the same Ministry of Magic, and the same us, but with some big differences?"
When he said this, Dumbledore turned his gaze to Lily.
"For example, Lily in your world didn't die?"
Lily was silent for a moment when he looked at her like this, and then she answered.
"But Harry is dead."
Jon supplemented her words.
"It was the time-turner in your hand, Professor Dumbledore, that caused the two worlds that were supposed to be the same to become so different..."
"Tom changed the past." Dumbledore looked at what he had in his hand and said softly.
Now it was Jon and Lily's turn to be surprised, but soon they felt it was natural.
In another world, Dumbledore himself could guess the origin of the extra Voldemort, and in this world, Voldemort has been missing for so long, so Dumbledore here might not necessarily have some similar speculations.
At this time, Mag almost stood up from the chair!
She looked at Jon, Lily and Dumbledore in horror. She could understand every word of their conversation, but when combined, it contained a terrifying message.
"What time was it in the world you were in when you came here?"
Jon finally understood the benefits of talking to smart people. Before, communication between him and Dumbledore often relied on guessing riddles, and now it turned out that the people who made up the riddles were all masters of guessing riddles. Before Jon could even say anything, Dumbledore himself had already gotten the truth.
"January 3, 1996."
Dumbledore nodded.
"It took five months to adjust back, which is not a long time. What he wants to reverse must be the most important node for him."
At this point he looked up at Lily.
"That is to say, five months after that night, he used a time-turner in some unknown way to modify the past, causing the original world to deviate."
Dumbledore had almost guessed everything, but no matter how wise he was, he could only figure out what happened with limited information, but he had no way of understanding things he didn't know at all.
Finally, he met Jon's eyes again.
"Can you tell me what happened in the world you live in?"
Jon took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
“That’s exactly what I need to do.”
So Jon and Lily stayed in the principal's office all evening.
Lily narrated the first half of Voldemort's changes starting from that night, including Voldemort's complete rise, the fall of the British Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts Castle, and Dumbledore from another world began his exile on a carriage with the remaining students and professors.
Jon took over and narrated the second half of his story after he entered school, until they finally discovered the identity of the second Voldemort, paid the price of Dumbledore falling into a permanent coma to get the answer, and finally came to this world.
