Hogwarts Mental Rehabilitation Center

After the cold winter of March [-]th, the weather will be warmer every time it snows, and the next snowfall will be less.

One autumn rain, one cold, one spring snow, one warm.

Travis stood alone at the window on the second floor and sighed with emotion. He lamented the passage of time and lamented that no one understood his emotion.

To feel the spring snow in a country that does not read the Spring and Autumn Period, is there anything more touching than this?

People were coming and going in the square outside. Many students who had returned from school were building snowmen and having snowball fights, and some couples were walking in the snow in pairs.

Meow seemed to have his memory awakened, and he played happily in the snow. His thick fur was enough to withstand the cold wind outside.

...It should be said that it can be easily resisted. Its hometown is much colder than here.

In comparison, Travis looks very crotch-stretching, wearing thermal underwear, a sweater, a windbreaker, and a thick winter school uniform on top.

At first, Travis wore the windbreaker as the outermost layer. Later, he suddenly discovered that the winter school uniform, which is much thinner than the windbreaker, is actually more windproof and warmer than the windbreaker. It can only be said that it is a product of the wizarding world, and it is indeed a high-quality product.

Standing in front of the window and looking at the snowy scene outside, Travis held a goblet in his left hand with yellow "wolfberry" water in it. His right hand rested on the kettle on the window edge and placed an electric light to heat the kettle.

During these days of boredom, Travis took control of lightning even further, and even considered changing his name to Tesla.

After raising the goblet and taking a sip, Travis was suddenly startled.

I saw the meow that was rolling in the square below, motionless with its limbs upward and its belly exposed, and its two big black eyes staring at Travis unblinkingly.

Yes, at this moment, Travis was pretty sure Meowth was staring at him!

"Is this... back to normal?!"

Travis hurriedly took two gulps to suppress his shock - surprise and surprise.

After drinking one glass and then another, when Travis looked down again, he found that Meow Meow had turned over and started running, and the direction was exactly towards him!

"It can't be wrong! I must have recovered!"

Travis quickly turned around and looked towards the end of the corridor, waiting for Meowth's figure to appear around the corner.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

swoosh~

An... old man with a white beard suddenly appeared in front of Travis - Principal Dumbledore.

Travis was stunned and didn't react at all.

But Dumbledore was not in a daze. He looked anxious and was about to say something, when suddenly... bang!

Meowth, who was running quickly, couldn't avoid it and bumped into Dumbledore's leg, causing him to squat on his butt.

"Why are you here?"

After Travis reacted, he asked and leaned down to pick up Meow Meow. Meow Meow rubbed against Travis and waggled his tail wildly.

"Would you like some hot tea? If you bring your own cup," Travis asked.

Dumbledore took a deep breath and shook his head.

"No, I have something to ask you. Come to the office with me."

"Ok~"

Holding Mew on his chest with one hand, and not forgetting to pick up the kettle and cup with the other hand, Travis followed Dumbledore and walked forward.

Dumbledore's pace was very fast, so fast that it was hard to believe that an old man of his age could walk through it.

When I came to the principal's office, the things in the principal's office were still very messy.

Dumbledore used a levitation spell to fetch a chair with a wave of his hand, and sat in his own seat.

"Tell me, what the hell did you do during this time."

Dumbledore asked in a calm tone, but his fingers that kept tapping on the table revealed that he was not at peace in his heart.

"I didn't do anything. This is a side effect of using the time turner."

Travis replied while playing with Meowth.

After not being close to each other for several months, Travis realized how fast Meow Meow was growing, and his bite force had greatly increased!

"Side effects of using a time turner?" Dumbledore frowned: "Research on time turners has never mentioned this form of side effects."

"Are you suspecting me of lying?"

"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded without thinking.

Travis:…

Ugh……

Travis sighed, lamenting that his credit value slipped away so quickly.

"You can take a look at this."

Travis took out his notebook from his pocket and handed it to Dumbledore.

"This records the process of using the time converter and some experimental data after discovering the side effects."

Dumbledore nodded, picked up the glasses from the side, put them on and looked at them carefully.

After watching for a while, Dumbledore raised his head and looked at Travis strangely.

"Have you used it too often?" Dumbledore asked.

"You said that as long as the single retreat time is not long, there is no danger."

"If I remember correctly, that's not what I said."

Dumbledore pushed up his glasses and continued to look down.

Page after page, until Travis had finished reading them all, he didn't make a sound to disturb him, but there were dozens of teeth marks on his hands - fortunately, none of them broke the skin.

"It seems that I have to take back the time turner and study it carefully...I'm sorry for what happened before. I didn't expect it to have such side effects." Dumbledore said.

"You don't have to be sorry."

Travis waved his hand indifferently.

"Just give me a few hundred thousand galleons for mental damages."

Dumbledore's face suddenly twitched.

"And you don't need to study it. I have already thoroughly studied the time turner - at least in terms of side effects."

"Oh?!"

Dumbledore's eyes lit up instantly.

"What are the side effects? And why do they have side effects?"

Travis did not answer immediately. Instead, he picked his ears and rubbed his thumb, index finger, and middle finger with his other hand.

"Do you want to get this kind of confidential research report for nothing? You have to show it no matter what, right?"

Dumbledore couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth again.

"What happened to you during this time? Why did you become so obsessed with money?" Dumbledore asked doubtfully.

Although Travis mentioned money in the past, he only mentioned it occasionally. Unlike now, he can't do without money in three sentences. In addition to money, it is still money.

"I don't want to either." Travis sighed: "Because this unfortunate side effect wastes so much time, the projects that were originally planned to be carried out step by step are now all squeezed together, and each one requires a lot of time. financial support."

Dumbledore suddenly understood and shook his head in amusement: "Then can't you postpone all projects? Then it will become a step-by-step process again?"

Travis rolled his eyes at Dumbledore: "Time is money, my friend."

Dumbledore:  …

Why is money mentioned again?
