"Professor Dumbledore, this way!"
Now that the decision had been made, Andy wasted no ti. He pulled Dumbledore into the lavatory cubicle and put the Ti Turner's chain around their necks.
"Well... Professor, how many turns?" Andy asked.
"Three hours!" Dumbledore responded.
Andy nodded slightly and turned the Ti Turner three tis.
With the scenery around them receding like drifting clouds, Andy and Dumbledore travelled back three hours.
After putting the Ti Turner away, Andy asked, "Professor, how should we get there? By Phoenix?"
"Of course!" Dumbledore raised his arm, motioning for Andy to place his hand on it.
"It will be a novel experience," Andy comnted as he placed his hand on Dumbledore's arm.
The next second, a ball of flas ignited around Andy and Dumbledore, and the flas engulfed the two of them in an instant before quickly disappearing.
Along with the flas, Andy and Dumbledore disappeared.
The isolated island, where Azkaban is located.
Andy had been here once before, so he recognised the place at a glance.
"How convenient!" Andy exclaid with envy.
The Phoenix truly makes a good pet.
It is immortal; its tears can heal and detoxify; and it can manipulate fire and teleport anywhere.
If necessary, it can shield you from the Killing Curse.
It is simply the perfect assistant!
If Harry Potter were made into a card ga, Andy feels that the chances of drawing even a fragnt of the Phoenix might be slim, or else it would be an underestimation of the Phoenix's abilities.
"The Phoenix is truly magnificent, indeed."
Dumbledore praised the Phoenix, then looked up in the direction of Azkaban Prison and said slowly, "It seems we need to wait patiently for a while."
When it ca to this matter, Andy also had a lot of doubts and questions.
"Professor, why are we here?"
Andy frowned and asked, "I an…we are here in Azkaban now to complete a piece of history. So...where were we 'originally'? Why did we co here in the first place?"
This was the main reason Andy was willing to co to Azkaban with Dumbledore to rescue people.
Complete a piece of history!
Dumbledore received the letter and told Andy the content of the letter—a masked person rescued so Aurors from Voldemort.
Then this piece of history must happen!
If there is no masked person, a masked person must be fabricated.
Otherwise, the order of ti and space will be disrupted, and the consequences will be unpredictable.
So Andy had to co.
Then the question arises: if the masked man really is Andy, why did the original Andy co to the rescue in the first place?
According to the tiline:
Voldemort raided Azkaban, and the Aurors were overwheld, but the masked man appeared and held off Voldemort, allowing so of the Aurors to escape.
The Ministry of Magic wrote to Dumbledore to inform him of the incident, and Dumbledore then inford Andy of the letter.
The two of them judged that the true identity of the masked man would most likely be either Andy or Dumbledore.
So Andy and Dumbledore used the Ti Turner to go back three hours and arrived at Azkaban.
However, there were nurous instances where the logic was not clear.
This was the first ti Andy had encountered a situation like this.
It was unpredictable and unfathomable.
Dumbledore looked at Andy and said slowly, "Collins, our present is determined by our past."
Andy frowned slightly at this.
Dumbledore continued, "I can see that you are confused."
"If 'we' ca here knowing the appearance of a masked man, then... before we used the Ti Turner, how did the version of ourselves appear in Azkaban three hours ago?"
"Indeed…" Andy nodded.
This is where it doesn't ring true!
Dumbledore looked at Andy and smiled faintly, saying, "Of course, it was also us! Because we have now returned three hours ago and have also co to Azkaban."
Andy: "…"
That's just nonsense!
After a mont of silence, Andy suddenly asked, "Professor, what is this power?"
If all of this was ant to happen, then Andy could only think that so kind of mysterious power had manipulated it all.
Fate?
Andy thought again about the prophecy about Voldemort.
Due to a series of coincidences, Voldemort appeared in the house in Godric's Hollow thirteen years ago and used the Killing Curse on baby Harry, fulfilling the prophecy.
It seed as if there were infinite possibilities.
But in reality, everything seed to be a foregone conclusion.
Dumbledore turned and looked out at the endless sea without answering Andy's question.
"Fate..." Andy muttered to himself.
This incident was like an inevitable loop from which nothing could escape without fate's permission.
Andy thought back over the whole thing, from beginning to end, in minute detail.
From eting Ron in the Great Hall to eting Dumbledore in the school hospital wing, and then finally... Andy and Dumbledore using the Ti Turner to go to Azkaban...
It was as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
It made Andy feel a cold shiver down his spine!
"Professor, is this a side effect of using the Ti Turner?" Andy asked another question.
"Maybe not,"
Dumbledore said softly, "At least Miss Granger hasn't experienced this problem, nor have any of the previous students."
"There is always a reason for soone to want to go back in ti...Collins, perhaps the answer is in your heart."
After a pause, Dumbledore suddenly looked sideways at Andy and asked a question: "If I weren't here, would you co?"
Of course not!
There was no need to answer this question at all.
Andy had neither the confidence to challenge Voldemort nor the desire to save the lives of those Aurors. There was nothing in Azkaban that he needed.
Andy struggled to co up with a reason for his presence here.
Seeing Andy's silence, Dumbledore said with a hint of deep aning, "Perhaps...you haven't found that reason yet."
"Yet?" Andy raised an eyebrow.
According to Dumbledore, Andy would get a reason to co to Azkaban to save soone... Could such a thing happen?
"Never mind..."
Andy suddenly laughed lightly. "In the end, the truth will beco clear. Besides... maybe the masked man isn't even one of us."
"Right, there is another possibility..."
Having said that, Andy turned to Dumbledore and said, "Professor, you wanted to save soone, so you asked to lend you the Ti Turner. As for , I just tagged along to see what would happen. That's all!"
Andy felt that this explanation might be more reasonable.
As for who the masked man really was...
When he appeared, naturally everything would beco clear.
