Chapter 194: Hermione's Time Turner
Because the Bruce didn't need to go through the Transition Lake ceremony, they got off the bus and went straight to the castle in an autonomous "car". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Harry had fully recovered, and after a summer vacation, seeing his friends had made him forget the "grief" of the train and chatted with everyone. And the relationship between Bruce and Hermione has also become a hot topic of conversation after being "unintentionally" said by Ron, and even the "flower veteran" Dean specifically found Bruce to learn "skills"!
After the sorting ceremony, the "choir" that was only established last semester specially sang a song "No Hardship, No Trouble" (ps: Baidu results, I don't know if it's accurate!). )
It was indeed very good, but among the "instruments" played there were five large toads, which made Bruce unappetizing. After the singing, Dumbledore, dressed in full costume, came to the pulpit and said passionately, "Welcome back to Hogwarts for the new school year. ”
"I have a few more words to say before everyone gets dazed by the delicious food. First of all, I'm pleased to report that Professor Remus John Lupin has agreed to be the professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts. Good luck, Professor. ”
To the applause of the crowd, Lupin stood up and bowed to the crowd in thanks.
At this time, Ron hurriedly said to the three of them, "Look at Snape's expression! ”
Snape, who was sitting next to Lupin, looked unhappy at this time, and only slapped a few times before lowering his hand, as if he was very disgusted with Lupin.
Harry disagreed, saying, "It's normal for him to have such an expression, because he has always wanted to be a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. ”
"Plus!" Dumbledore continued, "Professor Keitel Byrne, our teacher in the Conservation of Magical Creatures class, has decided to retire......"
"Hagrid!" Harry said excitedly.
Bruce smiled and looked at Hagrid, who was sitting next to Professor McGonagall, and said, "It looks like Hagrid is very nervous!" ”
“…… I am pleased to announce that he has been succeeded by our Rubeus Hagrid! ”
"Bang Bang!"
The four of Bruce took the lead in applauding warmly, but Hagrid was so nervous that he forgot that he should get up and thank him, but Professor McGonagall reminded him, but ...... Hagrid came to his senses and hurried to his feet, but he was so tall that he almost missed the table in front of him.
Hagrid watched nervously as the students forgot to go down, and Professor McGonagall pulled him helplessly, and Hagrid hurriedly sat down.
Then Dumbledore's smile disappeared, and he said solemnly, "There is also disturbing news, and it is very unpleasant to say such a news at the lively and cheerful opening dinner, but I must tell you. At the request of the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts will receive a special group of guests......"
Dumbledore paused deliberately, as if to give the students another time to meet the "disturbing news". And the students below also began to whisper "discuss".
"Special guests? Who do you say it will be? Ron asked curiously.
Bruce said, "Just look at Dumbledore's face and you should know that he is definitely persona non grata. ”
Ron teased, "Aren't you talking about Malfoy?" ”
"Huh!" Harry immediately laughed, "If that's the case, I'd rather this group of guests be Dementors!" ”
“…… That's the Dementors from Azkaban! Dumbledore raised his voice.
The following immediately exploded, and when they came, everyone had already experienced the horror of the Dementors, but they didn't expect to be with the Dementors this semester...... More than one Dementor lives together. But even more helpless and embarrassed was Harry.
Bruce, Hermione, and Ron all glared at him angrily, and Harry smiled bitterly, "I...... I...... I have nothing more to say! ”
Hermione said speechlessly, "I strongly demand that I learn the 'Silence Curse' this semester. ”
"Agreed!" Bruce and Ron said immediately.
"Quiet!" Dumbledore raised his voice.
There was an immediate silence in the dining room, and Dumbledore continued, "The Dementors will guard every entrance until Sirius is caught. I would like to remind you that while the Ministry of Magic assures that their presence will not interfere with our daily activities, it ...... Dementors are the most evil creatures, and they can't distinguish between prey and those who stand in their way. Therefore, I warn everyone not to give them the opportunity to harm you. Don't expect them to forgive you for your mistakes! But ......"
As soon as the conversation changed, Dumbledore smiled and said, "Happiness is everywhere, no matter how dark it is, as long as we light the lamp of our hearts, happiness will accompany us." ”
"Bang Bang!"
Dumbledore said this very well, and there was applause in the dining room, but the "side effects" of the Dementors would certainly not go away so quickly anyway.
"Now the dinner begins!"
As Dumbledore's words fell, sumptuous food filled the table. While everyone was enjoying the food, they were also chatting about the arrival of the Dementors in the school.
"I bet you that those monsters are going to make a mess at school." Ron swore an oath.
Bruce said, "If you bet on this, I'll press you to win." ”
Harry said helplessly, "Could it be that Sirius is really back at Hogwarts?" ”
Simon hurriedly said, "That's not for sure, even Azkaban can't keep him." ”
Bruce said, "Anyway, let's be careful this semester. ”
Neville said worriedly, "I don't think they're going to come to school, they're just going to stay outside of school, otherwise it's really dangerous." ”
"Even if the Ministry of Magic agrees, Dumbledore won't agree!" Harry said.
The tension caused by the Dementors was dissipated by the chatter at the dinner table, and everyone returned to their respective lounges after chatting.
"What's the password? Who knows? "Almost there," Bruce asked.
"The auspicious stars shine brightly!" Lee Jordan said.
Bruce laughed, "This year's password is so appropriate!" ”
"Huh!"
When they came to the entrance, they found that this year's "Fat Lady" had changed into a new "girly dress", with a wreath on her head, and a glass with a "dolphin sound"!
"Excuse me, ma'am. The stars are shining! Bruce gave the command.
"Wait a minute!" The fat woman immediately interrupted Bruce's words, and continued to soar the high notes.
The person from behind came over and asked, "Why don't you go in?" ”
Bruce smiled bitterly: "Madam, the auspicious star is shining!" Look at our ......."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" The fat woman interrupted him impatiently and said, "Look at this! Ah......h
The fat woman suddenly raised her voice and yelled at the glass, and Ron looked at her with an uncomfortable look on his face and asked, "What does she want to do?" ”
"Huh!" Bruce said speechlessly, "I think she must be trying to shatter the glass!" ”
But soon the fat woman found that she could not hold on, and the glass was not cracked, not to mention cracked. The next thing everyone didn't expect was the fat woman who quickly slammed the glass against the wall.
"Boom!"
The glass shattered, and the fat woman narcissistically said, "Look at the power of my singing!" ”
Bruce smiled wryly, "Oh! It's incredible, the stars are shining! Can you let us in now? ”
The fat woman looked at him dissatisfiedly and said, "Okay, okay, let's go in!" ”
Then the portrait opened, and everyone immediately walked into the lounge.
"It's been three years, and she's still the same!" Bruce said helplessly.
Harry laughed, "I think we should tell the fat woman the truth, she's really not fit to sing." ”
"Yes! And then she will definitely embarrass us and let us not get in! Simon said.
It was raining heavily outside, and everyone was going back to the warm bedding to rest. At this moment, Hermione suddenly stopped Bruce.
"Bruce, I have something to say to you!" Hermione said.
"Oooh!" Dean looked cheap and said, "Guys, hurry back." The little couple is going to talk about love! ”
"Haha!"
Bruce looked disdainful and said, "Go, a bunch of single dogs, it's okay to play by yourself." ”
A group of people laughed and returned to their respective dormitories, very cooperatively leaving space for the two to be alone. Then Bruce immediately hugged Hermione, Hermione hurriedly twisted her head to the side, and said helplessly, "What are you doing?" Nasty, let go of me. ”
Bruce laughed, "Why let it go, let me kiss it!" ”
"Oops! I have something to say to you. Hermione hurriedly pushed Bruce away and said dissatisfied.
"Tell me! After speaking, I am doing things. Bruce said.
Hermione glared at him and said, "I warn you, Sterling. If you dare to talk nonsense like that, I'll ignore you! Come here, sit here! ”
Bruce walked over and sat down next to Hermione, put his arm around her, and asked, "What's the matter?" So mysterious? ”
At this moment, Hermione reached from the collar into her clothes, and Bruce's eyes immediately fixed on him......
"Smack!"
Hermione slapped the stunned Bruce on the head and said with a blushing fury; "What are you looking at?"
"Ahh Uh, hehe! What just happened? Bruce smiled awkwardly.
"Look at this!"
Hermione handed Bruce what she had taken out, what appeared to be a golden timer, but much smaller. There is a long, fine gold chain that makes it easy to keep around your neck.
"This ......" Bruce certainly didn't think that what Hermione gave him was really just a timer, he looked at the gadget in his hand carefully, and then suddenly remembered a "artifact" that only had its name but not its name!
"This ...... It's not that kind of time turner, is it? Bruce said in surprise.
As the name suggests, the function of the time converter is to convert time, and Bruce has only read some materials in books. With each turn, you can rewind time by an hour. It's a very rare magical device.
Because going back in time is likely to change the course of some things, this magical magical instrument is firmly in the hands of the Ministry of Magic. It cannot be used by all adult wizards except with special permission from the Ministry of Magic. Therefore, the time converter is usually approved by the professors of the three major magic schools for the use of excellent students so that they can learn more lessons. Of course, the application process is very rigorous.
The professor must write various letters to the Ministry of Magic, telling them that the owner is an exemplary student and must promise never to use it for anything other than studying, before he can have a time-turner.
Clearly, Hermione was the right person.
"Who gave this to you?" Bruce asked, surprised.
Hermione said proudly, "Professor McGonagall, of course, she mentioned this when I was in the hospital last year, but the review process was very strict, so it was approved before the start of school. (To be continued.) )
