To escape the time loop, simply understand the entire event.

It might be difficult for William in first grade, but after two years in the cycle, it becomes a very simple thing.

William now knows of four crime scenes: the Defense Against the Dark Arts Office, Snape's Potions hut, Ravenclaw's resting room, and the Room of Requirement.

He decided to wait for Tywin's arrival at the Defense Against the Dark Arts Office.

This is where it all began.

The 740th cycle.

Having made thorough preparations, William hid alone in a corner not far from Tywin's office.

It was only 7:40, the game hadn't started yet, and Tywin hadn't left his office.

After observing several times, William knew Tywin would leave in ten minutes, so he wasn't worried about him suddenly appearing.

William pulled Potions from his robes and drank it down in one gulp. This was Strengthening Solution he had "taken" from Madam Pomfrey earlier.

To uncover the truth, one must follow Tywin and know his every move.

William didn't want to be discovered, so he had to use the Disillusionment Charm.

However, the Disillusionment Charm Disillusionment Charm easily detected by powerful wizards. William considered many ways to enhance its effects, and he found that apart from long-term practice, only Strengthening Solution were effective.

This special potion enhances the effects of Potions and is a precious medicine that Madam Pomfrey only uses during crucial surgeries.

Similarly, this Strengthening Solution will also amplify the effects of the Disillusionment Charm, preventing Tywin from discovering William.

As for why William knew about this Potions... During a competition, he fell from the sky and his head and body were almost separated. To enhance the hemostatic effect, Madam Pomfrey added this Potions.

If William gained anything significant from this time loop, it was that he personally brewed most of the Potions mentioned in the textbook and even tasted them to see how they fared.

He smelled it and found that the hemostatic agent had a very peculiar smell. After trying for a long time, he finally managed to get the secret formula from Madam Pomfrey.

After drinking the Strengthening Solution, William cast Disillusionment Charm and stood quietly in a corner, holding the Marauder's Map in his hand.

The next moment, four Tywin suddenly appeared on the map without warning!

One of them is in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Office, about to walk out the door.

On the Third Floor Corridor, he bumped into Dumbledore, who was leaving the building. The two turned around and went back to the third floor, entering the Headmaster's Office.

One is hidden in the fifth-floor corridor.

A quick stride leads to the corridor leading to the Ravenclaw Tower.

"Four Tywin..." William shook his head. That's quite a sum!

Although it wasn't the first time William had seen this scene, he still found it amazing every time he saw it.

William's current task is to unravel the mystery of the four Tywin and find out why they could appear in four different places at the same time.

William had no time to think. As the appointed time arrived, the handle of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Office was suddenly turned, and Tywin, who was hiding inside, walked out of the room precisely on time, to the second.

He first looked around warily, and when he didn't see anyone, he picked up his wand and strode upstairs.

He was about to encounter Tywin, who was hiding on the fifth floor.

William followed closely behind, his heart pounding as if it would burst out of his chest, even after taking Calming Draught.

Fortunately, William moved with light steps, Tywin was completely unaware that someone was following him.

At the corner on the fifth floor, Tywin is about to run into Tywin.

But to William's surprise, the person hiding on the fifth floor was not Tywin, but Professor Snape.

He does look exactly like Snape, but his name on the Marauder's Map is still Tywin.

The map is correct; the other party must have taken the Polyjuice Potion.

As a young wizard who had been taking Polyjuice Potion for a long time and played for two Quidditch teams, William knew Polyjuice Potion all too well.

But Tywin, who came out of the office, seemed unaware that the guy in front of him was actually himself.

He was there to carry out a top-secret plan, and when he saw Snape appear in the corridor, he instinctively thought he had been discovered.

Snape seemed to want to say something, but Tywin wasn't listening. Without thinking, he raised his wand and a spell shot out.

Snape dodged to the side, pointed his wand forward from his shoulder, and shouted, "Stupefy!"

Tywin also unleashed a spell that collided with his.

Snape appeared to have suffered serious injuries beforehand; his face was ashen, he had many wounds, and his reactions were becoming sluggish, making him no match for Tywin.

After only a few rounds of fighting, a spell struck Snape squarely in the chest. His eyes widened in horror as he was sent flying, crashing into the wall and spitting out a large amount of blood.

Tywin Lannister grinned maliciously as he stepped forward, seemingly intent on ending Snape.

William feels he's about to witness Tywin killing Tywin!

But Snape's wand spun and struck the pillar, causing the wall to collapse and block the corridor between the two sides.

Tywin didn't pursue him. He watched coldly through the gap as Snape staggered towards the stairs. He remained silent for a moment, then made up his mind and turned to run towards the other side of the stairs.

Tywin quickened his pace, seemingly afraid that Snape would find Dumbledore and ruin his plans.

William also started jogging, glancing at the Marauder's Map. Tywin, who had used Polyjuice Potion, wasn't going to Dumbledore's office, but was running towards the Seventh Floor.

He went to the Room of Requirement!

William finally understood why Tywin was no match for Fluffy; how could he possibly be a match for Cerberus when he was so badly injured?

William ignored him and continued to follow Tywin.

Leaving the main building, there is a long corridor, which is the shortest path connecting to the Ravenclaw Tower.

William knew that there was another "Tywin" waiting here.

Tywin walked into the corridor, and perhaps because he was about to reach the Ravenclaw Tower, his vigilance relaxed.

Just then, a curse shot out from the side without warning, grazing his head.

"Who was it?" Professor Tywin was furious at the attack.

But Tywin, who had been lying in wait in the corridor, continued to cast the spell without any regard for the danger.

Tywin was caught off guard, especially when he saw himself on the other side of the corridor. He had no idea what was going on and, in his haste, was no match for him.

He was struck by another curse, sustaining a minor injury, and then turned and ran.

Tywin, who had been lying in ambush there, chuckled smugly and turned to run towards Ravenclaw's tower.

William knew the other party was going to retrieve the Ravenclaw Ring, and from then on, there were no further obstacles except for Robert.

But William did not go to Ravenclaw Tower; instead, he continued to follow Tywin closely.

Tywin dragged his injured body to a corner, where he fumbled at the collar of his robe and pulled out a long, fine gold chain. A small, gleaming gold Gold Timer dangled from the chain.

"It really is this!"

William finally saw what he wanted to see, which is why Tywin could appear in multiple places at the same time.

--Time Time-Turner!

Professor Tywin turned the Time-Turner counterclockwise one full turn, and he vanished from the spot.

Soon, all the other Tywin also disappeared from the Marauder's Map, like streetlights that had been extinguished.

This means that Professor Tywin is dead.

William sat there for a long time, and finally he fully understood the whole incident.

I understand completely.

That's too easy.

He could finally push up his non-existent black-rimmed glasses and loudly tell Dumbledore:

"New machine words, dig one more, Mo He more!"
