A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 478
Nifflers are known to have a penchant for all things shiny and shiny, making them perfect for treasure hunting.This stems from their unusually sensitive sense of smell. At this moment, Felix looked at Varun and had a new idea in his heart.

"Crash-"

Felix raised his hand and aimed at the open space of the office. The ring on his hand emitted a strong light. Immediately afterwards, all kinds of sundries spewed out like a volcanic eruption, parchment, handwriting, scrolls, potions, letters, and The Christmas presents in the past few years... There are all kinds of them, filling most of the room.

Felix sat on a chair behind him, looked at Varun who was stunned, and explained: "Everyone I know—their stuff is almost here, and the smell on the letters or gifts is very good. Well... Thanks for your hard work, Varen, find this person."

Varun looked at the pile of debris that was taller than himself standing on the table, and his body trembled. With Felix's expectant expression, he stood on tiptoe and flipped over a pair of blue woolen socks. It was embroidered with rough black lightning bolts and silver spheres of light—a gift from Dobby to Felix.He liked it quite a bit, but the problem was that the socks were two sizes too small and couldn't fit them in.

Varun bent down at the edge of the desk, and opened the drawer halfway backwards. From Felix's direction, he could see a stack of parchments full of words. Varun looked back at Felix angrily, his little hands Pointing down very hard.

"Haw! (That's it!)"

Felix was stunned, was he too fast?He raised his arm unnaturally, and the stack of parchment flew into his hand. He already knew what it was, but he still stared at the parchment carefully for a long time, raised his head and confirmed: "Are you sure? Valen, this not kidding……"

Varun raised his hips imposingly and nodded heavily.

Felix's eyes once again fell on the parchment, which was a paper on the disassembly plan of the Time-Turner - he had only seen it two days ago, from Hermione Granger.

Hermione... Granger, it really was her.

Felix exhaled lightly. Now that he had identified the target, he didn't have to touch the clues like a headless chicken, but then he frowned.He had emphasized to Hermione more than once the dangers of long-distance space-time travel, and she was well aware of it, but she still did it...

Is it a last resort, or a mistake?
He just thought of it at this time, because the core part of the Time Converter in Hermione's hand came from an evil dark wizard more than 2000 years ago.Although Felix had already confirmed with a magic perspective in the underground space of the Egyptian pyramid that the Horcrux statue and altar carrying "Despicable Haierbo" did not have any traces of magic left, but he knew nothing about "time" .

So when Hermione told him that he was going to replace it with the hourglass on the altar, he was happy to see it happen.As long as you do it seriously, no matter whether you succeed or fail, it will be a huge harvest with many benefits.

He only added an insurance policy - warned Granger not to use it even if the replacement was successful.Felix thought this was enough, but it was clear that something unexpected happened in the future beyond his and Hermione's expectations.

For example, he "died".

A more accurate statement is that Granger thought he was dead, and because of the urgency of the situation, she couldn't confirm the real situation, and it was possible—she didn't want to confirm it.Anyway, she hastily used the Time-Turner and had an accident...

Felix pondered silently, barely figuring out a reasonable timeline.

But there are still many unexplained problems.

Varen is used to the occasional situation where the big devil doesn't move. He sniffed the smell on the postcard. That's right, it's the messy-haired witch who likes to hold her. Her smell is everywhere in the office. It hasn't smelled it before. pay attention to.

Varun looked at the sundries piled up on the ground with bright eyes. This is a treasure mountain!It glanced at Felix, knowing that this situation would continue for a while as long as it was left alone.Warren took two quick steps, leaped high from the table, and landed on a pile of colorful socks as if diving into water. His two little hands fluttered and quickly disappeared into the pile of debris.

Treasure hunting fun!
Warren wandered happily among the dazzling array of items, and the probability of encountering treasures was astonishingly high. He quickly found a few gold Galleons and couldn't close his mouth with a smile. He was so happy... He stuffed the coins into his pocket, Glancing to the side, he found another thermostatic locket. Varen hesitated for a few seconds, and "resolutely" decided to give up—it already had three lockets in his pocket.

It is not rare.

Warren sniffed lightly, and smelled the familiar smell again, which also came from a stack of rolled parchment. It saw the words "House Elf" and "Expedition" from a spread corner, thought for a while, Get out of the clutter and put the roll of parchment next to the postcard.

"Haw! (And this!)"

It reminds loudly.Valen was very happy, he was helping the big devil to work, exchanging labor for reasonable remuneration.

Felix came back to his senses and watched Warren rummage through, poking his head out from time to time to put things on the table. He took a cursory look and found that they were all Hermione's things, papers, gifts, made by himself. rune items... At the same time, he also keenly noticed that Varun's belly had become round, and if he read it correctly, half of a necklace was still exposed in his pocket.

Felix wondered whether to find time to explain the relationship between work content and remuneration to Warren - if the employees in the company knew Warren's labor costs, they would definitely cry.

Once again, Varun emerged from the debris.It shook the black fluff on its body, held the card in one hand, and clutched a looking glass like a glass ball in the other—it was trying to stuff it into the pocket, but the pocket seemed to be full, and it tried a few times None of them worked.

Felix looked at this greedy little guy angrily, and waved, and Varun flew over uncontrollably.Facing the dissatisfied eyes of the Great Demon King, Varen realized that he was too excited. He shrank his body and handed him the speculum in his hand in a fawning manner.

Felix continued to stare at it.

Varen blinked, showing a suddenly realized expression, handed him the card in the other hand, and said with credit:
"Haw! (Finally found)!"

Felix looked at Varen with a dark face, do you think I don't know what your plan is?He forgot about the moral education class, right? He was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of the birthday card out of the corner of his eye.

The greeting card is from "Ms. Jane", sent over two months ago, along with a huge birthday cake.

Felix's hand trembled uncontrollably. More than ten years ago, to be precise, it was at his fourth grade opening party that he received her letter for the first time.Among the hundreds of letters insulting him, only this one encouraged him. After that, the lady sent several letters one after another until he graduated.

Felix recalled Nick Flamel's notes, and his heart sank more and more. There is no example of surviving long-distance time travel... If Granger is brought back ten years ago by the time converter, the time in her body How serious should backlash be?

Can't easily draw conclusions, he doesn't know anything about the time domain.Nick has never experienced time travel, he just collected the information.

"What's the most important thing right now?" Felix asked himself softly, "Yes, that's it."

He stretched out his hand expressionlessly, and the debris on the ground melted into his ring like a stream of water. Varun quickly climbed onto his shoulders and looked down at the spectacular scene. After 2 minutes, there were only three things left on the ground. thing.

His self-made Marauder's Map, the semi-finished looking glass that Varen was holding before, and—a small glass bottle containing a lock of gray hair.

Felix spread out the map, the ink lines on it expanded from the central point, and soon showed the whole picture of Hogwarts Castle. The ink footprints have not stopped, extending to the Forbidden Forest, the Black Lake and the surrounding mountains , including the strongholds of four other schools are clearly visible.

Hogwarts Castle only occupies one-tenth of the entire map. The densely packed dots and the names on the dots are crowded together, like a squashed, wriggling ball of wool, which is scalp-inducing Numb.

Felix took out his wand and tapped it on the map while whispering, "Hermione Granger."

The map suddenly changed, and those wriggling lines melted like spring snow and disappeared.There was only one golden name left on the entire map, Hermione Granger, who was taking her final exams in the Potions classroom.

"There is only one name." Felix was a little disappointed.

……

The door to the Potions classroom opened, and the students filed out.

While packing her schoolbag, Hermione said anxiously, "The topic is not difficult, but I'm not sure if I wrote down the steps clearly. I should wave my wand before mixing the potion..." Harry and Ron had very different expressions on their faces. Helplessly, Hermione was still reviewing the Potions test questions when he turned the corridor, and Harry couldn't help but say, "Hermione, you are the only one of the three of us who actually took the test, and we don't even know which question you are talking about." .”

"Yeah," said Ron, in a surprisingly good mood, smiling, "I was reading a comic book during the exam, you should have seen the look on Snape's face - oh, sorry, Professor." He bumped his head into Felix as he turned to speak.

"I blocked you," Felix said with a smile, "I guess it's almost time, I have something to do with Professor Snape... By the way, Miss Granger, I still feel a little worried after thinking about it, if If you're going to fix that little timer, you'd better let me know in advance—"

"We've fixed it," said Harry.

"Uh, what?"

"It was fixed, just last night," said Harry.

"Wait," Felix stared at Harry, then turned to Hermione, "I remember you said that you won't try to fix it until the third project is over?"

"Oh, um..." Hermione stroked her hair in a panic, "Some accidents happened... I was... in good shape, so... er, it was finished ahead of schedule." She stammered.

She really didn't want the professor to know that because she was worried about meeting her parents, she impulsively advanced the plan.

"Professor, do you need me to show you the Time-Turner? I put it in the dormitory." Hermione changed the subject, and Harry and Ron's hearts arose. Although they had decided to let Professor Hemp check, they still Worried about hearing words such as "dangerous" and "confiscated" from the professor's mouth.

"No need for now, you can prepare for the third project at ease, I still hope that you can win the trophy." Felix postponed her proposal calmly.

Hermione stared at Felix's figure disappearing around the corner, and asked with some doubts: "Do you think the professor is a bit weird?"

"Is there?" Ron asked, and Harry looked at her puzzled.

"It's just—" Hermione opened her mouth, and found that she couldn't describe how the sense of disobedience came from, "Hey, forget it. Tomorrow is the History of Magic exam. Are you still going to read idle books in class? ?” There was obvious dissatisfaction in her tone.

"I specifically asked Professor McGonagall that the parents will come over tomorrow morning, Hermione, you don't intend to leave them outside to take the exam alone?" Ron asked.

"Can't you?" Hermione raised her eyebrows: "Actually, I—" She suddenly stopped and looked around.

"What's the matter, is anyone there, Hermione?" Harry asked, faintly aware of something strange, but found nothing.

Hermione drew out her wand and tapped around a few times, but found nothing.

"Maybe I was wrong." She said hesitantly.

"It can't be a ghost, can it? Hurry up, Mrs. Norris found you casting spells in the corridor. It's so strange. This cat's movements are becoming more and more agile. Fred and George don't dare to go out at night. Well, they're asking around to find out why..."

Their voices disappeared in the distance, Felix turned around in front of the Potions classroom, and returned to his office, with a few more long brown hairs in his hands.He took out the semi-finished looking glass and made a looking glass with the hair of Hermione he just got.

Felix stood in the fireplace, looking at Warren, "I'm going out for a while, I may not be able to come back tonight, don't worry."

"Haw? (Can I go?)"

"Oh, no," Felix murmured, "I don't think so." He disappeared into the office as emerald flames rose.

……

For the next few hours, Felix wandered through Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, and the wizarding quarters of England, holding the looking glass but finding nothing.

"Very clever, Miss Granger, you hide well."

It was almost dusk, and Felix was sitting by the window of a cafe, with a huge clock tower in sight, which was Big Ben, one of the landmark buildings in London.After finishing his coffee, Felix asked the bald clerk at the checkout, "Is there a newsstand nearby?"

"Oh, of course, it's just around the corner..."

2 minutes later--

Felix stood in front of a newsstand and handed the postcard with the motto to the young lady. He asked politely, "Hello, do you have similar postcards here?"

The young lady took the card and looked at it carefully for a while, "I have a little impression that a salesman recommended a complete set of famous quotes series postcards a few months ago, but I had already bought [-] sets of commemorative cards for London attractions, so I didn't buy them... ... want a set?"

The lady pointed to the scenic spot commemorative card on the booth and asked.

"Bring me a set." Felix smiled, and the lady's words verified his last guess.

Felix handed her a banknote and turned into an alley with a set of commemorative cards for London attractions. The next second, his figure appeared two streets away.When he came out of an alley again, he was already empty-handed.He looked up, and across the alley was a dentist's office.

He bought a wisdom tooth here almost three years ago, Felix smiled. Mr. Granger must have been impressed by him, and a customer like him is probably rare.

Felix tapped his forehead with the second knuckle of his index finger. There was no magical glow in the clinic, and he was not surprised. He just looked around and looked far away. The black and white perspective immediately became colorful.

He had met Granger before he joined the job, and he remembered that she walked here, which seemed to indicate that her home was not far from the clinic...

Felix patiently searched, and at the same time whispered to himself: "I told her personally that there are no examples of long-distance time travel. If she thinks she is doomed to die... where will she stay at the end of her life? I Should have thought of it earlier."

Felix stared at a faintly visible spot of light in his field of vision, and raised the corners of his mouth.It didn't take long for him to come to the street where the small townhouses were located.This is the favorite of the middle class and the new rich - each building has an area of ​​150-200 square meters, two or three storeys high, with independent small gardens and garages.

Felix cast the Disillusionment Charm on himself, stopped before approaching a house, stared at the "Granger" on the house number for a while, and then walked into the restaurant with the sign "Open 24 hours" in the opposite building, I ordered a few dishes casually and re-examined my plan.

He wasn't planning on meeting Hermione, at least not until he was able to deal with the side effects of long-distance time travel.

The time traveler will be protected by the time converter. If you only go back one or two hours, this "protection" is not obvious, but if you span several years, decades, or even hundreds of years, if you don't have the power of the time converter , their fate is absolutely miserable.

The most obvious example is the witch who unfortunately returned to five centuries ago. When she returned to her own era, she instantly became old. From the prime of life to the old, St. Mungo tried almost everything method, but the witch's body is like a sieve, and all means of replenishing vitality have lost their effect.

Felix can only hope that there is enough energy in the flat-headed hourglass from "Herpo the Despicable".

It was getting dark, and Felix was sitting in the corner of the restaurant, tapping his index finger on the table rhythmically. The guests who came and went turned a blind eye to him, and ripples spread out, and his magic power and thoughts soon covered the restaurant. It then continues outward until it covers the opposite house and the adjacent block.

He used the magic of the thinking cabin to reproduce and overlap all the surrounding scenery-this is similar to the process of building the snowflake corridor in the Quidditch World Cup.He looked up at the clock on the wall, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

A car was parked opposite, and a middle-aged couple stepped out of it.Felix closed his eyes, as if he was standing in front of the Grangers. They opened the door talking and laughing, and then parked the car in the garage. The curtain on the second floor moved.

Despite the dim light of the night, Felix clearly "saw" a hairy head.

After waiting for a few minutes, just as he was about to stop the magic, the window on the second floor opened suddenly, and an owl flew out of it.Under the cover of night, no one found its trace.The owl, like a ghost in the night sky, circled twice over the house and flew into the night sky.

Hermione stared at the owl for a few seconds before disappearing behind the curtains.But she didn't realize that after flying for a while, the owl seemed to have lost its way, circling constantly in the sky, and then flew in one direction uncontrollably. The door of the restaurant suddenly opened, and the owl landed directly in front of Felix. .

"It was sent to me." Felix stared at the envelope and muttered to himself. He opened the letter and found the familiar "Ms. Jane" on it.

"...probably won't be writing anymore, I'm moving to another location. From reading in the papers that you've been coach and security for two of the Hogwarts squads of warriors...that's amazing...I saw the second Video of this event...the Warriors have to deal with a lot of pressure, I suggest you better give them a hug before the game..."

Felix put down the letter and said blankly, "It's a pity that your wish cannot be granted, Miss Granger."

　I feel the need to explain in advance that Hermione didn't go back to ten years ago and stay still, but a few time jumps occurred in the middle, so the time she experienced was not long.
