What I see to have been resolved with some certainty by our Time
Turning threads here lately is that if any Timeturning is going to
occur in the books to come, by HRH or Otherwise, they will only
accomplish things that have *already happened* in the current
timeline.
There are some such things in the books to date. Occurrences outside
the scope of the Harry POV in detail and therefore unexplained. For
thse of us who *do* have some interest in TimeTurning being further
used in the story, rather than those who don't, I would like to
begin compiling a list of events that bear on the story but are
peripheral and without the forthcoming of a suspect responsible for
them. Read on you'll see what I mean.
1 Who broke into Gringotts in PS/SS and attempted to take the Stone.
We are given to assume, that QuirrelMort was the culprit. However,
what if he was aware the stone was being transported to Hogwarts,
already?
It might have taken him sometime to aquire the troll.
And even if it was QuirrelMort after the stone in London, Who foiled
them? Who might have known that they would be there? Certainly noone
suspected them in these early chapters of the books.
A peripheral event that *did* happen and as yet *no actual culprits*.
Therefore if I were an experienced TimeMastering Wizard I might be
inclined to suspect that something has happened in *time*. Such as
if I were DD and didn't already know what had happened, which he
might.
Does everyone get what I mean here? The imperative is the
identification, then you can say hmmm there *might* be 'time' there.
2. How did it 'become clear' to Dumbledore to return to Hogwarts
when he was in London at the end of PS/SS. It might have been an
intuition or realisation of present facts, and ordinarily we could
just dismiss it as one such. However since I have already placed
time events in London in PS/SS I am beginning to suspect London in
PS/SS is somewhere that the story may go.
The short theory is that DD goes to London *because* something fishy
*is* going down there, but when he arrives and realises that what's
going on there is all future, he rushes back recognising that his
place is in the present.
So there you have it, a start. Maybe it's all wrong, at the very
least it is continuous with the precedent in POA. Time Turning has
already happened, there are no 'Cheesy Outs' just more story.
