Chapter 74: Prophecy 4
"Hmph," Hermione felt unconvinced that Ron could come up with an idea she didn't think of, and wanted to listen to his "high opinion", "Then you have a way, but you say!" ”
"No," Ron made Harry's eager eyes look wrong, "I can't help it. ”
Harry had lost all hope at the beginning, and Ron was just using him for fun.
"But......" Ron dragged his long voice, whetting the appetites of the two. But I knew that Aitch would never be able to hide it. ”
"Don't listen to him, Harry." Hermione thought Ron really had a good idea, "He's completely guessing, it's nonsense. ”
"Hey, Hermione, that's not what I said." Ron grabbed Harry and said on his toes, "This is Professor Trelawney's prophecy!" ”
"Prophecy? Amusing! Hermione scoffed at Professor Trelawney and her so-called prophecy, "Do you believe that goddess's nonsense?" Harry, you're not going to put your hopes in that man's inexplicable crazy words, are you? ”
"No, no, no," Ron said to Hermione, shaking his head like a rattle, "I mean to put hope in you. ”
"What?" Hermione, in particular, couldn't believe that the guy who thought the prophecy was true had pulled it on her again.
"First of all, I think Professor Trelawney's prophecy is somewhat credible: her predictions about Neville and Brown have come true." Neville smashes teacups more than once in class, as well as Brown, whose rabbit was bitten to death by a fox on the day of the prophecy.
"It's just a coincidence!" Hermione's mouth was wide open. "She also told Patil to watch out for the red-haired boy!" Ron was redheaded, which embarrassed him.
"What about you? Once or twice may be a coincidence, but you also left the divination class just before Easter to coincide with one of her prophecies. Ron retorted, "You can't be complicit in her." ”
Ignoring Hermione's inability to speak, Ron continued, "On the first day of class, Professor Trelawney made a prophecy for Edge. ”
"First of all, the falcon, if Harry you and he are really brothers, then this is absolutely true, 'that person' is your mortal enemy, and then there is the attack of the werewolf tonight, if it is not rescued in time, Aitch will definitely have his neck broken." Ron's explanation kept Hermione from picking on the thorns.
"But that's not all! Professor Trelawney has one more word of prophecy. Ron felt that as long as the prophecy was as accurate as the previous one, it would be true. She said that what Aitch had been trying to avoid would eventually happen, and that the source was by Aitch's side. ”
"Hermione was the only one with Aitch at the time." Ron affirmed, "If the prophecy continues to come true, then the key is on her." Didn't Hermione crack Aitch's trick just now? ”
"How can you explain that?!" Hermione was shocked and anxious, "Harry, don't believe him. Hermione didn't think she could fix this.
"Think about it, even if that goddess's prophecy is true, then there is nothing else Aige wants to avoid? And the phrase 'the source is by Edge's side' is ambiguous, it may be clothes, it may be pen and paper, it may also be Erwin, why is it me? ”
"Hermione, please......"
Hermione was eventually defeated by Harry's pleading gaze and agreed to find a way. She glared at Ron fiercely, blaming him for talking nonsense and driving her down the path of "prophecy".
If it does, it's the work of the prophecy, and if it doesn't, won't it disappoint Harry for once?
As they spoke, Snape and Black caught up from behind, with Snape walking behind, as if on a prisoner's mission, to get Black out of school.
"Wait, Professor, Sirius can't go now......" Snape ignored the three and urged Blake to go with a look of disgust.
"Oh, you're still here?" Dumbledore silently came behind the three.
The three of them spoke anxiously at the same time.
"Professor, Aitch is definitely Erwin, he cheated on the blood test......"
"He secretly dripped fox blood on it......"
"Blake can't go, and if it's past tonight, he'll have to stop talking to Ichti Erwin as agreed......"
"Then there's no more chance......"
But Dumbledore raised his hand to stop the gushing explanation.
"Now it's your turn, and I beg you not to interrupt me, for Professor Snape is hell-bent on getting Black away, so time is running out." He said calmly, "There is no evidence of Edge's story, except your words, and the words of the three thirteen-year-old wizards will not convince anyone. Aitch erased almost all the evidence, even the legendary bloodline magic was found by him to crack the loophole. ”
"But......" Harry was still unconvinced.
"Listen to me, Harry. It's too late, you know? You must understand that Aitch is far more convincing in front of you and Snape and Blake than your words. ”
"But you trust us."
"Yes, I believe you." Dumbledore said calmly, "But I don't have the power, nor can I order the heir of the House to do another test of bloodline magic, he can use the results of the previous test to block our minds......"
Harry glared at the serious face. I felt as if the ground was falling apart. He had become accustomed to the idea that Dumbledore would be able to solve any problem. He had expected Dumbledore to come up with a solution to the problem out of thin air, but no, the last hope was dashed.
"What we need now," Dumbledore said slowly, his light blue eyes looking from Harry to Hermione, "is more time." ”
"But......," Hermione began. Then her eyes widened. "Oh!"
"Alright then, Miss Granger, I think it's enough to take a turn. Good luck. Dumbledore slowly followed Snape and Black.
"Good luck?" Harry repeated, by this time Dumbledore had already moved out of the sight of several men. "Once? What is he talking about? Should we do it? ”
But Hermione fumbled around the collar of her robe, pulling a long, fine gold chain from underneath it. "Harry, come here,"
She said eagerly, "Quick! ”
She apologized to Ron because she could only take one more person with her, so she had to give up on Ron.
Harry walked over to her, completely confused. She pulled the chain out completely. He saw a small, shiny gold timer hanging from beneath the gold chain.
"What is this?"
She put the gold chain around his neck as well.
"Are you ready?" She asked breathlessly.
"What are we going to do?" Harry said, completely confused.
Hermione turned the timer once. "I'll see you later, Ron."
The hallway is gone. Harry felt like he was flying, flying fast, flying backwards. Blurred clouds and shapes passed in front of me, and something was pounding in my ears. He wanted to scream, but he couldn't hear himself, and then he felt solid ground under his feet, and everything was focused again, and he stood beside Hermione, in another hallway where no one was around.
"What? Hermione, what's going on? ”
"We're going backwards in time," Hermione whispered, pulling Harry into a utility room, removing the gold chain from Harry's neck in the dark, "going backwards an hour......
Harry felt his leg and twisted it hard. It hurts, and it seems to indicate that he is not having strange dreams.
"Where did you get this timer?"
"It's called a time turner," Hermione whispered, "and I got it from Professor McGonagall the first day we came back. I've been using it all year long to catch up with all my classes. Professor McGonagall asked me to swear not to tell anyone. She had to write all sorts of letters to the Ministry of Magic so I could have a time turner. She had to tell them: I'm a model student, and I'm never going to use it for anything other than studying, I've been turning it back hour by hour, and that's why I've been able to take several classes at the same time, understand? But ......"
"Harry, I don't understand what Dumbledore wants us to do. Why does he tell us to go back an hour? Does this help in finding evidence that Aitch is Elwin? ”
Harry listened to the footsteps outside the utility room and looked at Hermione excitedly, "We should still be on our way to the dinner party right now, and when Sirius calls me and Aitch for a blood test, we'll jump out to stop Aitch from cheating!" ”
"No, Harry, you can't do that." Hermione was horrified, "It's against the law. Think about it, at the same time, two Harry Potter and Hermione Granger appeared in front of people, and we would have driven them crazy. If the Ministry of Magic catches us, it will break our wands. ”
