"No matter what, it's the professor's responsibility to protect the students, not let the students take risks. We should stay in the castle as if nothing happened."
Professor McGonagall's tone was very resolute, leaving Kael with no room to refuse.
"Alright." Kael nodded, agreeing... temporarily agreeing.
Once Nicolas repairs the Time Turner, it will definitely be handed to him, and then he can make his own decision.
But now... since Professor McGonagall wants to know the specifics, I'll let her see.
"I actually know the magic for memory extraction."
Kael found the ancient Pensieve from the cabinet under Dumbledore's desk and placed it on the table.
He then pressed his wand to his temple, preparing to extract the memory of the night he arrived at Beauxbatons.
It was after dinner when Professor Viktor came to talk to him.
Kael moved the wand, a blue light was guided out along the wand, but just two inches later, the light suddenly broke off.
"Are you alright?" Professor McGonagall asked nervously.
The Memory Charm is one of the most complex charms, and each failure might backfire on the wizard.
She regretted a little not helping when Kael proposed extracting the memory earlier, but letting him do it himself.
It's also because Kael usually performed so excellently, she instinctively thought that even the Memory Charm wouldn't be a problem for him.
"I'm fine." Kael waved his hand.
Unlike Professor McGonagall, he didn't think his charm had failed, he was very certain that every step was correct, but the memory still broke off.
Kael pressed the wand to his temple again.
"Stop." Professor McGonagall hurriedly stopped him, "This time let me do it, I'll help you."
"It might not work, Professor." Kael shook his head, "I've learned Occlumency, it stops every magic trying to view my memory, and it's beyond my control, let alone extracting memory, so this can only be done by me."
As he spoke, Kael moved the wand again.
The result was the same as last time, and this time it only moved an inch, and the blue light representing memory broke.
This time, Professor McGonagall also noticed something was wrong.
Under normal circumstances, when the memory turns into blue light leaving the temple, it indicates the magic has been successful, and the rest is just pulling it out.
This isn't difficult, or rather, it doesn't require much skill; even a new student who can use a wand can do it.
But Kael failed twice in a row, clearly something was wrong.
But Professor McGonagall didn't know what exactly was wrong, because it was her first time encountering such a situation.
Kael was also a bit bewildered, carefully recalling his previous experiences, suddenly realizing something.
That cup of 'Raspberry Juice'!
If there's anything different recently, it would be that cup of 'Raspberry Juice' he drank at Nicolas's manor.
If he remembered correctly, house-elf Tata mentioned it was something Nicolas spent a few days making, Kael didn't think it was merely a good-tasting drink, there must be some unknown effect.
It was just due to his trust in Nicolas that he didn't ask at the time and drank it directly.
Thinking about it now, might his inability to extract memory this time also be related to the 'Raspberry Juice'?
But what use is this information? Kael couldn't figure it out.
Professor McGonagall couldn't figure it out either, but after two consecutive failures, she didn't dare let Kael continue trying.
Moreover, by now, the sky outside was already very dark, with thick clouds covering the moon, causing a somewhat oppressive feeling.
"I will think about other methods later." She said, "Before that, let's put watching the memory aside, you write down the process."
"Also, if the Time Turner is repaired, you must inform me right away, absolutely no unauthorized actions." Professor McGonagall's tone was stern, "It's very important, understand?"
"Hmm... I'll try." Kael said,
Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow.
"I mean, I'll try to write the process in detail." Kael quickly explained, "But Professor McGonagall, there's a big difference between seeing the process and experiencing it personally."
"I know." Professor McGonagall said, "But I can't watch you take risks, besides Dumbledore, maybe only you have the chance to defeat You-Know-Who."
"There's also Harry." Kael said, "He's the Savior and has killed You-Know-Who once."
"Ah, yes, and Mr. Potter." Professor McGonagall said, but her tone was a bit dismissive, "If his body transformation was half as good as yours, perhaps I would be a bit more reassured."
