A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 226: The Mystery of Time

At the same time, the ancient rune office.

Hermione held three bright rune symbols in her hand, watching them keep spinning, her eyes sparkling.

Felix was leaning against the desk, looking at a test paper, his fingers lightly wiped the last word, leaving light traces of ink, his gaze became strange.

He looked at the time, it was exactly eight o'clock, and the magic text teaching had just started.

'So, she came here in a hurry just after the test paper was out? Or—” Felix thought to himself, “in this castle, there are two Grangers at the same time? ’

He was a little itchy, what would happen if he summoned the Patronus to deliver a message to another Hermione, such as asking her to bring Harry's pocket looking glass along the way?

Felix waited quietly for two minutes, while Hermione was still enthusiastically practicing outlining rune symbols in the air, without stopping at all, patted her forehead and said: Oh, professor, I almost forgot Alright, this is the looking glass you asked me to bring here...

'I know so little about the mechanism of the Time-Turner that I'm at a loss. But if I am in a time loop, there must be a starting point and an ending point, and when the ending point is reached, the two Grangers must return to the same position. ’

Felix thought silently, but he still couldn't make a move because he didn't know the consequences of doing so. Presumably, this is why Granger didn't suddenly take out a looking glass from his pocket...

That's not his style at all.

"Professor—"

Felix was shocked, he looked up, and the little witch was pointing to a sea blue rune symbol in her hand, "I think there is something wrong here, isn't the conversion of magic power very smooth?"

He was slightly disappointed, but he still explained gently: "This rune symbolizes water flow, and it can also represent the ocean and heart. You have to try to understand its meaning deeply. This is a wonderful feeling. Then you will understand it all at once."

"But no matter what, the meaning of the rune is a key to understanding the rune."

"I see, Professor!" Hermione said happily: "I have some ideas. When I was a child, I saw many rivers, lakes, and seas with my family. It must be helpful?"

"That's right, you can call up this part of cognition." Felix agreed.

The following rune guidance is as usual, but Felix has different expectations in his heart, and he will look up at the wall clock from time to time.

The time came to half past nine, and tonight's class was almost over, but Felix couldn't help but mention: "Miss Granger, you are already very tired, why don't you have a snack, watch An episode of an animated movie?"

If Hermione agrees, he will gently remind her to pay attention to the time and see her reaction...

Hermione showed a heartbeat expression, but she glanced at the time quickly and covertly, "Oh, no, professor, I have something to do. Before nine fifty..." She paused for breath, "I mean , Ten o'clock is the light-off whistle."

Felix nodded, "I was negligent." He watched Hermione leave. It seems that the guess is true, he is really in a time loop, and, very likely, his little assistant It is the time converter used at 9:50, back to two hours ago.

That is to say, at 7:50, she came to his office to report to his office with a test paper whose ink was still wet...

After thinking for a while, he cast a disillusionment spell, silence spell, concealment spell, and invisibility spell on himself... After making all preparations, he walked out of the office.

Felix followed Hermione far away, like a real ghost, and seven or eight minutes later, outside the Gryffindor common room, he saw Hermione hiding behind a doorpost.

'She picked a good place without any portraits around. ’

Soon, a person emerged from the common room, it was the second Hermione Granger!

Felix couldn't hide the shock in his heart. Although he knew that Hermione would hold the Time-Turner as early as the beginning of school, or even the last school year, this was the first time he had seen its effect intuitively.

He dismissed his eagerness to move again, and watched her walk past the doorpost without looking away, and the other Hermione hurriedly hid.

In his line of sight, Hermione Granger, who had just come out of the lounge, was standing in the corner, turning a golden chronograph. The figure suddenly disappeared.

Felix's eyes were about to pop out, but he found nothing, as if he was observing a mass of air, and everything just now was a memory he had woven for himself.

Hermione poked her head out from behind the doorpost and hurried back to the lounge.

Felix could still hear the grumble of the portrait of the Fat Lady at the door: "Why did you just go out and come back, you little wizards..."

"Auspicious stars are shining." Hermione said the password quickly, and the fat lady reluctantly stepped aside.

Felix returned to the office lightly on his feet, and the shock in his heart did not diminish in the slightest. This was a power he had never touched, and it was the mystery of time.

"Time, time! I should be in awe of time, stop this matter here, and don't take any risks." Felix warned himself that his assistant was already very serious and responsible, so he couldn't trick her.

If because of his mistake, the little witch was thrown into the turbulent time, where would he find it?

But his mind quickly floated, and he couldn't help thinking: "If I can get a time converter from other places, will it be all right? The Ministry of Magic, the ancient pure-blood family, Or the tombs of ancient wizards, there is a slight possibility... This matter must be carefully planned and cannot be acted rashly!"

…

The next day Felix made his usual trip to St. Mungo's.

The old Mrs. Longbottom combed Alice's hair carefully, but a lot of hair still stuck to the comb. She said with a wry smile: "I really hope they get better soon, and they will get rid of the side effects of the Cruciatus Curse." Yes, isn't it?"

"Yes," Felix said: "They are like walking dead now, unable to control the magic power in their bodies. Once their memories are restored, many methods can be used."

Lady Longbottom let out a sigh of relief.

During the period, the therapist of the Longbottoms, Meliam, came over. She was a very friendly witch, but she still gave Felix a suspicious look.

'The "conditioning expert" Mrs. Longbottom hired is too young, but it does have some effect...'

Meliam tentatively asked about healing magic, and Felix casually added some superficial knowledge of blood magic, which made her look dazed.

"...I tried to awaken the remaining subconsciousness of their bodies, and coordinated with mobilizing their own magic power..." Felix talked eloquently ~IndoMTL.com~ In fact, this is not wrong, but he played a trick , without saying that they spend most of their time fiddling with their memories.

After Merriam left, Felix said to Mrs. Longbottom: "The first paper has been sent out, and it may be brewing for a while."

Old Madam Longbottom said puzzledly: "Felix, I have always wanted to ask you why you didn't send it later until the treatment is over?"

"Because it can't be hidden," Felix explained, "according to my estimation, the reaction of Frank and Alice will be obvious by the end of next month at the latest. It is impossible for St. Mungo not to find out."

"Although the truth can be told, we still have to consider the worst case scenario, that is, St. Mungo's vetoing my treatment plan, and Frank and Alice are currently inseparable from St. Mungo's care...

You can also think that I am used to making some preparations in advance-although my thesis only has a theoretical part, few people can pick a mistake. . "

Felix smiled and said: "But once someone achieves it, this is a groundbreaking result, and St. Mungo will happily keep us."
