demon hunter at hogwarts

"It's not easy to get this thing." Regulus waved the time turner in front of Harry, "There are only two people in the entire Hogwarts who have applied for the right to use the time turner, namely Percy. ·Weasley and Cedric Diggory. In principle, the Ministry of Magic will not allow first-year students to use the Time-Turner. Professor Dumbledore and I had to sign seven or eight guarantees before we could get it. Got it.”

"For me..." Harry couldn't believe it.

"Yes, we need more time... Be prepared. What you are about to experience now is an unprecedented experience." Regulus gave Harry a reassuring smile, then waved his wand and placed it on his head. A light tap.

Harry felt as if an egg had been cracked on his forehead, and something cold flowed into his body from the place where the wand was struck.

He lowered his head suddenly, only to find that his feet had turned into the color of the floor.

"Sir, is this the Disillusionment Curse?"

Regulus nodded, but did not answer aloud. He just raised his index finger to his lips to signal him to be quiet.

Then, a faint blue light flashed, and Regulus disappeared.

Ten seconds later, there was a noise at the office door. Apparently someone outside the door tried to enter the room, but found that the door had been sealed with a spell by Regulus.

However, this level of spell obviously couldn't stop the person outside the door. There was only a soft click, and the person opened the door and walked in.

Harry was surprised to find that the person who came in was Regulus again.

After Regulus came in, he seemed a little confused. After standing there and looking around, his eyes quickly turned in the direction of Harry and the two of them.

An inexplicable feeling arose in Harry's heart, and he was somewhat looking forward to what would happen if the two Regulus met.

But the scene he expected did not happen after all. The newly entered Regulus finally just sat on a chair and said as if to himself: "Wait a little longer, and there will be more people in this room."

The office door seemed to be blown open by an invisible gust of wind, but the new Regulus had no intention of closing the door.

So, Harry was dragged by Regulus and left the office, all the way to the Room of Requirement, the room where the Mirror of Erised was stored.

The difference from before was that there was another four-poster bed in this room, the same style as the one he had in the Gryffindor Tower dormitory.

"You want to ask what just happened, right?"

Harry nodded. This was his first time coming into contact with time travel. In the past, he had only seen similar stories in some of Dudley's DVDs and regarded them as fantasy.

"Because I left some... information to my past self that only I can understand, so he knew that we were in the office just now." Regulus explained simply, "As you can see, we are passing through time. When the converter goes back to the past, the 'us' in that time period does not disappear, but coexists with us in the future... This is a very unstable state of existence. We might as well make an assumption. If you suddenly see What would be the reaction if another Harry Potter showed up?"

"I would think that I was hallucinating, or... that that person was pretending to be me." Harry scratched the back of his head and answered truthfully.

"Your reaction may be relatively mild." Under Harry's curious gaze, Regulus put the time turner into his pocket, "But there are some wizards who will react violently. They even Will accidentally kill the past or future self, and this will cause very serious consequences... There is such a hypothesis in the Muggle world, but it is also applicable to the wizarding world: if a person goes back decades ago, If you kill your grandfather, will he still exist?"

Harry subconsciously replied: "Not there."

"Think about it again?"

Harry thought about it again and realized something was wrong.

If this person killed his grandfather, then he should not have been born. And how could a person who had not been born kill his grandfather?

"Do you understand? Once there is an error in time-related magic, it will lead to serious consequences." Regulus became serious again, "There once was a witch named Heloise Mintab. Because of a mistake, Using a time-turner, she trapped herself in 1402 for five days, and by the time she managed to return to the normal timeline, her physical age had increased by five centuries."

"Ah? Then isn't she..." Harry asked in surprise.

"Even the therapists at St. Mungo's Hospital were unable to repair this terrible aging, and she died soon after." Regulus said, "What's more serious than this is that she suddenly appeared in 1402. This incident affected many things that 'should have happened' in history. The life trajectories of the people she met during those five days also changed. At least 25 descendants disappeared from history and became 'never'. Born' person. In addition, the Tuesday after she returned to modern times lasted for two and a half days, while Thursday only lasted four hours. The serious time and space confusion caused a lot of immeasurable damage. "

After listening to Regulus' story, Harry was speechless and didn't know what to say.

"The purpose of telling you these things is to let you understand what a dangerous operation we are conducting. Using a time turner to travel through the upper limit of time is considered to be five hours..." Regulus stared at Harry's eyes were serious, and his tone was serious, "You must be fully aware of the serious consequences that this matter may cause... Because I can see that you really want to complete some ideas through this thing... Don't try to deny it, your Occlumency has not made much progress yet, and I can clearly see your thoughts."

Harry lowered his head.

At a certain moment just now, he did consider going back ten years ago through a time turner and telling his parents: Peter Pedillo was the real traitor, and Voldemort would soon find this "safe" one. place.

Over the past year, he has learned through many channels that the death of his parents was not a car accident at all as Aunt Petunia said, but was an attempt to buy him a glimmer of life when the brutal Voldemort was approaching step by step.

If there was something he could do to change his parents' fate, of course he was willing to try.

"Okay, what you have to do now is to have a good sleep and drink this." Regulus' voice interrupted Harry's meditation. The next second, Harry found that there was an extra bottle in his hand. Crystal bottle of lilac potion.

He didn't think too much and drank the potion in one gulp.

"What did I just drink?"

"Dreamless Sleep Potion."

Harry felt his eyelids become extremely heavy, and he immediately fell down on the four-poster bed and started snoring.

After letting Harry fall into a deep sleep, Regulus took out the time turner again, played with it in his hand, and traced his fingertips over the small line of inscriptions.

"I mark every inch of time, but never surpass the sun. My value to you is measured by your purpose... In this way, you are really priceless..." He said to himself, "Should I Should I use you to find the more than ten years I lost?"

The days go by so fast, and Christmas is approaching again in a blink of an eye.

Regulus had always been very cautious when it came to the time turner, never letting Harry use it alone, and after each time travel for several hours, he would always use a small bottle of strictly controlled dose of Dreamless Sleep. The potion allowed Harry to have three hours of deep sleep to replenish his energy.

The effect of this was first reflected in the Quidditch match. After entering December, Harry's condition was quite sluggish. He even almost fell asleep while flying in the air during training, and almost fell off his broom. serious accident.

But in the past two weeks, Harry had regained his energy and returned to what Wood said was "the most talented Seeker in 100 years".

In Gryffindor's game against Hufflepuff, it only took him 5 minutes to catch the Golden Snitch, which slightly embarrassed Cedric, who was playing on behalf of Hufflepuff.

"What exactly is Professor Black tutoring you for?" Ron asked Harry furtively during lunch one day, "Can you discuss with him and tutor me too? I think Malfoy has long been dissatisfied... ...If he can promise to teach me some powerful magic, I can deal with them well..."

"Mr. Weasley, if your motive for learning magic is to deal with your classmates, then I regret to tell you... I must correct your wrong view." Snape didn't know when he came. Ron's words happened to be heard in front of the Gryffindor table.

With a sad face, Ron raised his head and listened to Snape announcing his "punishment decision".

"I think Gryffindor should be deducted ten points, and at the same time you need to be placed in confinement to ensure that you will never have similar thoughts again." Snape said in his most dangerous and hateful tone, "As for you, Potter...you may have noticed that a certain person is busy today and is not at Hogwarts."

Harry glanced at the teacher's seat, and sure enough he didn't find Regulus.

"But we all believe that your classes cannot be interrupted, so I have to reluctantly tutor you today...come to my office at eight o'clock in the evening."

With that, Snape turned and left, leaving Harry and Ron looking at each other.

At the same time, the living room of NO.12 Grimmauld Place.

"Is that correct? You want Snotlout to take over one of Harry's lessons?" Sirius shouted at Regulus in disbelief, "No, absolutely not! He will definitely torture Harry! I Gotta stop him."

"How are you going to stop him? Go to Hogwarts and fight him again?" Regulus said, "Listen... I think it is necessary to let Snape stimulate Harry, otherwise it will be difficult for him to realize The enemy will not show mercy to him... You know very well that Harry must learn Occlumency as soon as possible before we can proceed with the next step of the plan..."

"You know...sometimes I really want to throw away those bullshit plans, find Voldemort directly, and have a good fight with him." Sirius said gloomily.

"What you just said can be summed up in one word... to die." Regulus said weakly, "I have already made such a mistake once... ahem..."

Sirius immediately noticed Regulus's abnormality and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with you? I remember that Hogwarts Castle has magic and will not let you catch a cold casually."

"What's the saying?" Regulus said with a wry smile, "Those who play with time will eventually be played with by time."

He took the time-turner out of his pocket and waved it in front of Sirius' eyes.

"So you have been using this thing!" Sirius said in surprise, "No wonder you are so elusive on the Marauder's Map... I thought the map was broken. Are you keeping it secret from me like this?"

"Harry is good. I told him that he couldn't tell anyone about using the time turner, not even the people closest to him... It seems that he didn't even tell you." Regulus used He said in a tone of "old heart and great comfort".

"Harry, what's the matter with you? Don't tell me you tried to go back 20 years ago..." Sirius asked worriedly.

"I do plan to do this, but this thing..." Regulus put the time turner under the light, and there were already tiny cracks like spider webs on the delicate hourglass, "You see, its power There is a limit. It can only take me back five days at most... I now have some doubts about whether Eloise Mintab really exists. Maybe she was fabricated by the Ministry of Magic to deceive us... …”

"Few wizards dare to say that they have truly mastered time magic. I doubt that even the man who invented the time turner is no exception..." Sirius said, "Speaking of which, who invented this thing? "

"do not know."

The two laughed at the same time.

"In short, you can't take any more risks. If I wake up tomorrow morning and find that I have been turned into a girl and my name is Bellatrix because someone has tampered with the rules of time, I will I will never forgive you." Sirius put away his smile, "Speaking of wanting to go back to the past and correct my mistakes...I have better reasons than you, but I have never considered this method."

"Okay, I will change my mind." Regulus put away the somewhat damaged time turner again, "But I am not completely without gains..."

"Tell me about it?" Sirius' eyes lit up.

"The first conclusion is that if I don't come into contact with anyone when traveling through time, it will not disturb the original trajectory of my destiny." Regulus said, "If you don't want to be disturbed, then the Room of Requirement is a ideas."

Sirius's brain was working rapidly, digesting the meaning of Regulus' words.

"The second conclusion is that the time we get through the time turner does not appear out of thin air, but is borrowed from my 'later' life. For example, now, I am one year older than I should be. About a month.”
