At the same time, in the Ancient Magic Office.
Hermione held three bright magic runes in her hands and watched as they spun around, her eyes full of vigor.
Felix leaned against his desk and was reading a test paper. His finger gently touched the last word, leaving a faint trace of ink. His eyes became strange.
He looked at the time. It was exactly eight o'clock, and the magic language class had just begun.
'So, she rushed here as soon as she finished the test paper?
Or... 'Felix thought.' There are two Granger in this castle at the same time? '
His heart was itching. If he summoned the Guardian Angel to send a message to the other Hermione, such as asking her to bring Harry's pocket speculum, what would happen?
Felix waited quietly for two minutes. Hermione was still excitedly practicing drawing magic symbols in the air. She didn't stop at all, patted herself on the head, and said, "Oh, Professor, I almost forgot. This is the speculum you asked me to bring over …"
'I know too little about the mechanism of the time converter, so it's inevitable that I'm bound.
But if I'm in the loop of time, there must be a starting point and an end point, and when I reach the end point, the two Granger will inevitably return to the same place. '
Felix thought silently. He still could not test it out because he did not know what the consequences would be. Presumably, this was why Granger did not suddenly take out a speculum from her pocket...
This was not his style at all.
"Professor..."
Felix was shocked. He looked up and saw the little witch pointing at a blue magic symbol in her hand. "I think there's a problem here. The conversion of magic power is not very smooth."
He was slightly disappointed, but he still explained gently, "This magic character symbolizes the flow of water, and can also represent the ocean and the heart. You have to try to understand its meaning in depth. It is a very strange feeling, and sometimes you just understand it all at once."
"But in any case, the meaning of the magic symbol is a key to understanding magic."
"I understand, Professor!"
Hermione happily said, "I have some ideas. When I was young, I followed my family and saw many rivers, lakes, and seas. I think it will be helpful?"
"That's right. You can retrieve this part of the knowledge." Felix agreed.
The magic text instruction that followed was as usual, but Felix had different expectations in his heart. From time to time, he would look up at the clock on the wall.
It was half past nine, and the class for the night was almost over. However, Felix could not help but say, "Miss Granger, you're already very tired. Why don't you have some snacks and watch an episode of an animated movie?"
If Hermione agreed, he would remind her to pay attention to the time and see her reaction …
Hermione was tempted, but she quickly glanced at the time. "Oh, no, professor, I have something to do.
Before 9: 50 … "She paused for a moment." I mean, lights out at 10: 00. "
Felix nodded. "I was careless."
He watched Hermione leave. It seemed that his guess was right. He was really in a time loop. Moreover, it was very likely that his little assistant used the time machine at 9: 50 to go back two hours ago.
In other words, she had to report to his office at 7: 50 AM with the test papers that had yet to dry …
After thinking about it, he cast a Phantom Spell, a Silence Spell, a Concealment Spell, and an Undetectable Spell on himself. After making all the necessary preparations, he stepped out of the office.
Felix followed Hermione from a distance, like a real ghost. After seven or eight minutes, outside Gryffindor's lounge, he saw Hermione hiding behind a doorpost.
"She picked a good place. There are no portraits around."
Soon, a person came out of the lounge. It was the second Hermione Granger!
Felix couldn't hide the shock in his heart. Although he knew that Hermione would have a Time Converter since the beginning of school, or even during the first year of school, this was the first time he had seen its effects.
Once again, he dispelled his restless thoughts and watched her walk past the doorpost without looking sideways. The other Hermione hurriedly hid.
In his line of sight, Hermione Granger, who had just come out of the lounge, stood in the corner and turned a golden timer. She turned it twice, and with the slight sound of gears turning, her figure suddenly disappeared.
Felix's eyes almost popped out, but he did not find anything. It was as if he was observing a mass of air. Everything that had just happened was just a memory he had fabricated for himself.
Hermione poked her head out from behind the doorpost and hurried back to the lounge.
Felix could still hear the Plump Lady's portrait complaining at the door. "Why are you back so soon? You little wizards …"
"Good luck," Hermione said quickly, and the Plump Lady reluctantly stepped aside.
Felix walked back to his office, his heart still in shock. This was a power he had never touched, the mystery of time.
"Time, time!
I should respect time. This matter should stop here. I can't take the risk. "
Felix warned himself. His assistant was already very serious and responsible. He could not cheat her.
If he made a mistake and threw the little witch into the turbulence of time, where would he find her?
But soon, his mind began to wander. He could not help but think, "If I can get a time machine from somewhere else, will it be okay?
The Ministry of Magic, the ancient pure-blood family, or the tomb of an ancient wizard, all of these are possibilities … This matter must be carefully planned. I can't act rashly! "
…
The next day, Felix went to Saint Mungo as usual.
Old Madam Longbottom carefully combed Alice's hair, but there was still a bunch of hair stuck to the comb. She smiled bitterly and said, "I really hope they get better soon. They'll get rid of the side effects of the Heart-Drilling Curse, won't they?"
"They will," Felix said. "They're like walking corpses now. They can't control the magic in their bodies. Once they regain their memories, they'll be able to use many methods."
Old Madam Longbottom heaved a sigh of relief.
During this time, the Longbottom couple's healer, Meriam, came by. She was a very friendly witch, but she could not help but look at Felix suspiciously.
"The 'treatment specialist' Madam Longbottom found is a little too young, but it does have some effect …"
Meriam tried to ask about Conditioning Magic, and Felix casually mentioned some shallow knowledge about Bloodline Magic. Meriam was at a loss after listening to him.
"… I'm trying to awaken the remaining subconscious in their bodies and coordinate with their magic …" Felix said frankly. In fact, this was not wrong, but he played a trick. He did not mention that he was fiddling with their memories most of the time.
After Meriam left, Felix said to Old Madam Longbottom, "The first paper has been sent out. It may take some time to prepare."
Old Madam Longbottom was puzzled. "Felix, I've always wanted to ask you, why didn't you send it out later? Why didn't you wait until the treatment was over?"
"Because it can't be hidden," Felix explained. "According to my estimation, Frank and Alice's reaction will be very obvious by the end of next month. There's no way Saint Mungo won't find out."
"Although I can tell the truth, we still have to consider the worst case scenario. That is, Saint Mungo will reject my treatment plan, and Frank and Alice can't leave Saint Mungo's care at the moment …
You can also think that I'm used to making preparations in advance. Although my paper is only theoretical, not many people can find fault with it. At most, I think it's impossible to achieve with the current treatment methods. It's just a young man's fantasy. "
Felix said with a smile, "But once someone achieves it, it'll be a groundbreaking result. Saint Mungo will be happy to keep us."
