Chapter 184 The truth about fire!

The Room of Requirement burned down anyway.

When Suze and Rocket Raccoon led the other professors here, Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall had already arrived here.

In the dark and deep Room of Requirement, a raging fire started without any warning and devoured everything in the house in the blink of an eye.

The jumping flames were like demons. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into all kinds of legendary creatures, constantly and wantonly extending their claws and fangs. The flames licked everything in the house, and the entire house was shaking.

The terrifying high temperature spread, and the air was distorted by the fierce fire.

Suddenly, a deafening roar ripped through the silence of the castle.

The door of the Room of Requirement exploded, and a raging fire monster emerged.

At this moment, a rapid flash of light appeared.

With a loud cry, a bright red firebird flew out from the void, along with it, along with Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall.

A hint of determination flashed across Dumbledore's blue eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when he and Grindelwald entered the illusion.

"Don't try to hurt my students this time."

With a serious and focused expression, Dumbledore grasped the Elder Wand and it slipped into his hand. Under the burst of magic power, Fiendfyre seemed to be affected as well and was actually forced back half a step by Dumbledore.

Seeing that Dumbledore had not yet cast the spell, but was able to affect Fiendfyre by simply mobilizing his magic power, Professor McGonagall was surprised and immediately took out her wand.

The two of them raised their arms at the same time, without words or unnecessary movements, and just waved lightly towards Li Huo in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, two beams of sky blue light burst out, like an invisible barrier, and moved towards the gushing fire at a high speed.

Wherever the sky blue light reached, the extremely ferocious fire was instantly suppressed, and the monsters that were originally transformed from the flames began to roar in extreme pain.

Dumbledore's eyes fixed, and then he suddenly twirled the old wand in his hand.

The next moment, the sky blue light instantly turned into gold, and the monsters transformed from the fierce fire began to crack under the golden light.

At this time, more and more light appeared, and as the magic power increased, the raging sea of ​​fire was immediately suppressed.

Dumbledore knew without looking back that it was Suze and other professors who came to help him.

The flame was brought under control extremely quickly and shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. The originally dazzling light and terrifying high temperature also gradually weakened.

The burning sound gradually weakened, leaving only a slight 'crackling' sound.

When everyone came to their senses, they found that the door of the Room of Requirement had disappeared at some point, and only a charred mark was left on the entire wall, which seemed to prove that the situation just now was not an illusion.

Fortunately, it was late at night and the students had already gone to bed, otherwise, God knows how big an impact it would have caused.

"call"

Dumbledore sighed deeply, a look of fatigue on his face.

"Principal Dumbledore, are you okay?" Su Ze was closest to Dumbledore, and he quickly noticed that something was wrong with the other party.

"It's okay." Dumbledore shook his head, as if he didn't want to say anything more. He waved his hand slightly and turned to look at Su Ze and the people behind him. "So, you should have seen Tom."

Hearing this, Snape and Lupin's expressions became serious, and Suze nodded slightly.

"Just as I thought, that guy couldn't help but expose himself after all. I also confirmed what power he possessed. It was not the ether particles that distort reality, but time."

"Time"

Dumbledore was not surprised by this. The only two things that could create such a strange scene and destruction were the power of reality and the power of time.

Dumbledore had this guess when he entered the illusion with Grindelwald before. After all, Grindelwald's talent is "prophecy", and what he can see are the scenes of various timelines.

As a hindsight, if it really is a power that distorts reality, then Grindelwald's talent should not be able to effectively spy on it, let alone tear through dimensions to enter the illusion.

"So the enemy we have to face is actually Voldemort during his student days, right?" Professor Snape quickly figured out the key and spoke.

Although he didn't know what the reality, time, and space they were talking about meant, and what it meant that Suze and Rocket Raccoon didn't belong to this world, Snape didn't delve into it. He only cared about what he wanted to care about, such as determining the identity of the enemy and then finding a way to kill him.

"How could Tom Riddle possess such terrifying power? But if he was a student, he shouldn't be that difficult to deal with, right?" Professor Lupin couldn't help but say.

"Although I hate to say this, Tom Riddle's current strength is probably enough to threaten most of us." Dumbledore looked at Lupin and sighed. "Tom is an extremely talented child. When he was a student, he was ahead of countless peers, even professors."

You know, Tom Riddle created his first Horcrux when he was a student. Judging from this time, the spells and dark magic that Tom Riddle mastered at that time were already at a terrifying level.

Su Ze paused and spoke softly.

"And he now controls the power of time, which means he can use countless time to train his magic. His power will become stronger and stronger, and we can't stop him."

"Wait a minute, Professor Su, didn't you just open the space barrier of the time barrier? Can't you open another portal to find Tom Riddle?" Lupin asked puzzledly.

"It's useless. I control the power of space. The reason I was able to open the portal just now was because he was in our timeline, so I was able to do this, but I can't jump to other timelines."

Having said that, Su Ze rubbed his temple and continued.

"Because of this, Tom Riddle now has the ability to travel to any timeline to take what he wants, whether it's the Philosopher's Stone or the Elder Wand."

"Then he's invincible." Rocket Raccoon opened his mouth. "If he wants, he can even travel through time to kill us!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present felt a chill.

When people thought that Tom Riddle would kill his past self, they felt a chill down their spines. If his past self died, what would his present self become?
Noticing that the professors all looked unhappy, Su Ze quickly spoke.

"That won't happen. Time is a concept, a concept that is difficult for people to understand. Those who play with time will eventually be played with by time. I don't think Tom Riddle is that stupid."

Dumbledore also nodded and said calmly, "Killing people from the past rashly will inevitably have a great impact on reality. This impact is extremely dangerous and irreversible. Tom will not do this."

"If it were an ordinary person, it might cause all kinds of trouble, but Tom Riddle is no fool. After he mastered the power of time, he must know how fragile the barriers of each timeline are."

Suze also nodded and continued, "The fire in Hagrid's dream is an example. I think Tom Riddle must have tried to set Hogwarts on fire in the past, but the result was probably not good, so he had to erase all traces of the fire."

"You mean, this fire was set by Tom Riddle in the past?" Professor McGonagall's eyes widened.

"That's right." Su Ze murmured. "The fire in Hagrid's dream burned down the entire Hogwarts and killed everyone in the school. That is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do."

When Dumbledore heard this, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and all the previous past and doubts were connected at this moment.

He stared at Su Ze in front of him and spoke in a deep voice.

"The fire started in the headmaster's office, I can confirm that, and it happened on the day when Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was opened again, and it was also the day when Hagrid was framed by Tom."

Few people in this world knew the details of Hagrid's false accusation, but Dumbledore knew that Suze could understand what he meant.

At that time, the headmaster of Hogwarts was still Armando Dippet, who was about three hundred years old, and Dumbledore was the professor of Transfiguration.

It was also at that time that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was opened by Tom Riddle, Myrtle was accidentally killed by the basilisk, Hagrid was framed as the murderer, and the giant spider he secretly raised also escaped into the Forbidden Forest.

Sure enough, Su Ze nodded thoughtfully.

"That makes sense. Hagrid once told me that he was sad in his dream, very sad, and was walking towards the outside of Hogwarts, and at that moment, the fire started."

"So that little lunatic did try to kill all the beings that might threaten him in the future in the past, but he had to give up the plan in the end."

Rocket crossed his arms. "Wait, what about the fire now? Why is the Room of Requirement on fire?"

"Because this fire was not set by the 'time traveler', but it actually happened in the future." Su Ze said bluntly.

At this moment, Su Ze had no time to explain to other professors why he knew about the future. He just looked at Dumbledore and said in a deep voice.

"This is an experiment, Headmaster Dumbledore. Tom is testing whether events that happened in other timelines can threaten us at this time."

“As it turned out, he succeeded.”
