Ch. 661The Legendary Sage?
Yinsen left after helping restore Lupin, while Dumbledore and McGonagall speculated that Yinsen and Scáthach might be legendary figures. Later, Dumbledore encountered Yinsen studying the Time-Turner and heard how he hoped to use its principles to connect with the flow of time in other worlds.
- Yinsen thanked Dumbledore, took a feather from Fawkes, and left the room.
- McGonagall questioned Yinsen’s identity, and Dumbledore suggested that Scáthach’s name and abilities pointed to an ancient legend.
- Dumbledore and McGonagall considered whether Yinsen was a legendary sage or a descendant of Merlin, then discussed whether he could help with Voldemort and the Wizarding World’s political troubles.
- Dumbledore wandered Hogwarts, still uncertain whether Voldemort’s return would make matters better or worse.
- Dumbledore found Yinsen experimenting with the Time-Turner, which Yinsen had learned only worked with this world’s River of Time.
- Yinsen explained that he wanted to understand how the Time-Turner connected to the River of Time so he could attempt similar work in other worlds.
