Meanwhile, the ancient rune office.
Hermione held three bright runes in her hand, watching them whirl around constantly, with her eyes glowing.
Felix leaned against his desk and looked at a test paper, his fingers gently wiped over the last word, dragging out light traces of ink, as his gaze became peculiar.
He looked at the time, exactly eight o’clock, and the magic rune instruction had just begun.
”So, is she the one who just finished the test paper and rushed here? Or-‘ Felix’s mind spun with thoughts, ‘in this castle, there’s two Granger now?’
He felt a little itchy, what would happen if he summoned his Patronus to deliver a message to the other Hermione at this time, like asking her to bring Harry’s pocket sneakoscope along?
Felix waited quietly for two minutes, Hermione still enthusiastically practicing outlining the magic rune in the air, without stopping in the slightest, patting her own head and saying: Oops, Professor, I almost forgot, this is the sneakoscope you asked me to bring over …
‘I know so little about the operating mechanism of the Time-Turner, it is inevitable that my hands are bound. But if I am in the loop of time, there must be a beginning and an end, and by the time the end comes, the two Granger will inevitably return to the same position.’
Felix pondered silently, he could not attempt anything, because he did not know what the consequences of doing so would be. I think that is why Granger did not suddenly pull out a sneakoscope from her pocket …
This is not his style of conduct at all.
“Professor–”
Felix’s mind jolted, he looked up, and the little witch is pointing at an ocean blue rune in her hand, “I think there’s something wrong with it, the transformation of magic power is not very smooth?”
He slightly disappointed, but gently explained, “This rune symbolizes water flow, it can also mean the ocean and the heart, you have to try to understand its meaning deeply, it’s a wonderful feeling, sometimes you just understand it all at once.”
“But anyway, the rune meaning is a key to understanding the rune.”
“I get it, Professor!” Hermione said happily: “I have some ideas, as a child, I followed my family to see a lot of rivers, lakes, and the sea, you think it will help?”
“That’s right, you can tune into a part of your cognition,” Felix said approvingly.
The rest of the magic rune lesson went on as usual, but Felix had a different expectation in mind, and occasionally he would look up at the wall clock.
The time reached 9:30, the evening’s lesson is almost over, but Felix can not help but mention: “Miss Granger, you are already very tired, why not have a snack, watch an episode of cartoon?”
If Hermione agreed, he would politely remind her to pay attention to the time and see how she would react …
Hermione showed a tempted expression, but she quickly and covertly glanced at the time, “Oh, no, Professor, I have things to do. Before nine fifty …” she gasped and took a breath, “I mean, ten o’clock is when the lights are off.”
Felix nodded, “That was an oversight on my part.” He watched Hermione leave, it seems that the speculation is correct, he really is in a time loop, and, most likely, his little assistant is using the time-turner at nine fifty, to travel back to two hours ago.
In other words, she reported to his office at seven fifty with test papers with ink yet to dry …
After thinking about it, he cast a Disillusionment Charm, Quietening Charm, Concealment Charm, and an Invisibility Spell on himself … After making all the preparations, he stepped out of the office.
Felix followed far behind Hermione, like a real ghost, after seven or eight minutes, outside the Gryffindor common room, he saw Hermione hiding behind a pillar.
‘She picked a good place, there is no portrait in the surrounding.’
Soon, out of the common room a person appeared, a second Hermione Granger!
Felix suppressed the shock in his heart, although he knew Hermione received a time-turner as early as the beginning of the school year, but this is the first time he witnessed its effect personally.
Once again, he dismissed his dumb thoughts and watched her walk past the pillar without looking at the other Hermione and hurried to hide.
In his line of sight, Hermione Granger, who had just emerged from the common room, stood in the corner, turning a golden timer, she turned it twice, and with the slight sound of gears turning, her figure abruptly disappeared.
Felix’s eyes glazed over, but he found nothing, as if he is watching a mass of air, everything just now is a memory that he weaved for himself.
Behind the pillar, Hermione poked her head out and hurried back to the common room.
Felix could still hear the grumbling of the portrait of the fat lady at the door, “Why are you out and back, you little wizard …”
“Lucky Star.” Hermione quickly said the password, and the fat lady reluctantly made a way.
Felix returned to his office with light steps, the shock in his heart did not diminish in the slightest, this is the mystery of time, a power he had not touched.
“Time, time! I should be in awe of time, let’s stop this and not risk it.” Felix warned himself, his assistant is very serious and responsible already, he can not pit her.
If he made a mistake and threw the little witch into the time turbulence, where would he find her?
But his mind soon wandered, and he couldn’t help but think: “If I could get a time-tuner from somewhere else, then it would be fine, wouldn’t it? The Ministry of Magic, ancient pure-blood families, or the tombs of ancient wizards, there is a chance … this matter must be carefully planned, not rashly!”
…
The next day, Felix made his usual trip to St. Mungo.
Old Lady Longbottom carefully combed Alice’s hair, but the comb still had a large amount of hair stuck in it. She said with a bitter smile on her face, “I really hope they get better soon, they will get rid of the side effects of the Cruciatus Curse, right?”
“They will,” Felix said, “They are like walking corpses now, unable to control the magic in their bodies, once they regain their memories, many means can be used.”
Old Lady Longbottom breathed a sigh of relief.
During the course, the Longbottoms’ healer, Miriam, came to visit, she is a very friendly witch, nevertheless, she still can’t help but give Felix a suspicious glance.
Lady Longbottom’s “specialist” is too young, but it does have a little effect. …’
Miriam tentatively asked about the topic of the magic he specialized, Felix casually bullshitted with some shallow knowledge of bloodline magic, putting her in a daze.
“… I try to awaken their body’s remaining subconscious, in coordination with the mobilization of their own magic …” Felix spoke eloquently, which actually isn’t wrong, though he played a trick by not saying he spent most of his time fiddling with their memories.
When Miriam left, Felix said to old Lady Longbottom, “The first dissertation has been sent and will probably be in the gestation for some time.”
Old Lady Longbottom said in disbelief, “Felix, I’ve been meaning to ask you. Why not send it later and delay it until the treatment is over?”
“Because it can’t be hidden,” Felix explained, “According to my prediction, by the end of next month at the latest, Frank and Alice’s reaction will be so obvious that there’s no way St. Mungo’s won’t find out.”
“Although the truth can be told, we still have to consider the worst-case scenario, which is that St. Mungo will veto my treatment plan and Frank and Alice are simply inseparable from St. Mungo’s care at the moment …
You can also think that I am accustomed to doing some advanced preparation – my dissertation, although only the theoretical part, but not many people can pick a fault, at most they will think that with the current means of treatment it’s impossible to realize, belong to the whims of young people.”
Felix smiled and said, “But once it is realized, it is a groundbreaking achievement and for that St. Mungo’s will joyfully keep us.”
