Chapter 300: The Hourglass of Time

"Miss Granger, what do you think of last night's events!" In a corner outside the castle, Professor McGonagall and Hermione, who were making Qin Hui puzzled at this time, were staying at the place where everyone had originally set off.

"If it's a nightmare, then I wish I woke up right away!" Hermione looked up at the sky, and countless faces, both known and unrecognized, flashed through her mind, and in these flashes of faces there was one thing in common, that is, all of them were students and mentors who had died in battle.

"Time is a wonderful thing, and some flipping time can change the fate of many people. Of course, maybe the fate that changes is the ultimate fate! Professor McGonagall looked into the distance, at the place that represented killing and death.

"Professor, what do you mean" Hermione looked at Professor McGonagall in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then carefully removed a pendant from her neck.

It is a golden pendant with a round iron ring on the outside, and a coin with a funnel carved into it is securely stored.

This is a time hourglass that has the effect of reversing time within a certain range. If Qin Hui was present, he would definitely have found that in the third part of Harry Potter, Hermione and Harry used the hourglass of time to change the past, thus saving Sirius Bucchuk.

"It's an hourglass of time, and no one knows when it appeared, but there's no denying that it can take people back in time. However, fate is not so easy to modify, and everyone who uses the hourglass of time to go back in time and modify their fate will be counterattacked by fate! Professor McGonagall looked at the golden pendant in front of her, a look of remembrance flashing through her eyes.

Hermione was petrified for a month, but when she woke up, she still beat Harry and Malfoy to finish first in her second year. Everyone thought that Hermione's success was due to Hermione's talent, but this was not the case.

The reason why Hermione is so powerful is that the hourglass of time given by Professor Guò McGonagall constantly travels back and forth between reality and the past, and uses the time reversed to learn magical knowledge, so that after a month of sleep, she still defeated Harry and the two, who were immersed in magical knowledge all day.

Originally, Professor McGonagall only watched Hermione hesitate after waking up, so she would hand over the hourglass of time to Hermione, who had a good nature. Moreover, after handing over Hermione to the hourglass of time, Professor McGonagall also issued a ban on changing the trajectory of other people's lives, fearing that Hermione would intersect with other people in the past and affect future changes.

Professor McGonagall brushed Hermione's head and said in a sad tone; "Tampering with the fate of others will affect you yourself, and I don't know what the ultimate effect will be, but I can tell you with certainty that the former owner of the hourglass of time was Sirius's cousin, Bellatrix Black! So I want you to think about it, because it's a big deal, and I'm afraid you'll be lost forever in the past and never come back! ”

"Professor, if I'm lost in the past, will I still be in the future!" Hermione asked as she clutched the pendant in her hand tightly and as calmly as she could.

"If you are lost in the past, then there will be no you in the future, and our biggest possibility is to forget you, forget all your things, and don't even know that there is such a beautiful, kind, and kind girl named Granger in this world!" Professor McGonagall finished and walked slowly towards the castle.

"Professor, what if I do change my future and I come back alive?" Hermione asked her final question as she looked at Professor McGonagall's back.

"If you tamper with fate on a large scale, then the current thing will no longer happen, and you may not be able to distinguish which is true and which is false due to the deviation of memory, and you will end up like the previous owner of the hourglass of time!" Professor McGonagall paused, then disappeared around the corner of the castle.

Hermione looked at the hourglass of time in her hand in confusion, unsure if she could do it, what she should do, and what she needed to do. Hermione had always thought she was better than the adult wizards, but at this point she was confused.

"Harry, they're all safe, even Ron's injuries can be treated! Those who died didn't have much to do with me, and I didn't have to risk it for them! ”

Hermione just looked at the hourglass in her hand, constantly telling herself why she could give up. The morning sun slowly rose, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into the scorching sun at noon. Then the scorching midday sun slowly set again in the west, and turned into a large fireball that was round, but not very bright.

Hermione stood quietly from early morning to sunset, the thoughts in her heart kept changing back and forth, and she couldn't muster up the courage to turn the hourglass in her hand that could change time.

When a person sees someone in danger around him, he or she may desperately get up and rescue him. But this way of saving people is not deliberate, but an instinctive impulse, without thinking about the consequences at all.

We often see such desperate people on TV, but what I want to say is, if this person is allowed to think deeply and think about the whole thing with a clear mind, then will the salvation still happen!

Maybe, maybe not, this one may make a final decision based on the danger.

But what if someone explicitly told you that you would die before saving people this time! Would you still go out of your way to save an irrelevant person?

I can tell you with certainty that if you think about it, your impulses will be minimized, your brain will be dominated by fear, and there is little chance of saving people.

There is a small reservoir in Qin Hui's hometown, and one year there was a sudden heavy rain, and one of the two people who watched the rising tide on the edge of the reservoir was swept away by the stirred current. Upon hearing this, hundreds of people rushed out of the village next to the reservoir, but none of them had any intention of going into the water. Because after seeing the raging river, everyone was afraid

As Professor McGonagall had said, Hermione's trip would directly change the fate of at least a thousand people, if not more. Although Hermione didn't know what Bellatrix had done, her unchangeable personality, even in Azkaban, made a self-proclaimed smart Hermione shudder.

Time passed little by little, Harry was locked in a secret room in the castle by the dictatorial Qin Hui and enjoyed solitude, while the other students were also quietly weeping and secretly licking their wounds.

The whole of Hogwarts was enveloped in an atmosphere of sadness, with weeping and wails of pain everywhere.

"Professor McGonagall, Mr. Filch is gone, and Professor Snape he," said the school doctor, Madam Pomfrey, in a sobbing voice; "Professor Snape is badly injured, I can't help it"

"Okay, it's going to be okay!" Professor McGonagall interrupted Madam Pomfrey by taking off her glasses, wiping away tears from her eyes.

"Professor McGonagall, Professor Qin has cut off all contact with the outside world, is there any hope for our future?" Madam Pomfrey looked sad and bowed her head in frustration.

"Hope, everywhere!" Professor McGonagall standing in front of the glass window stared silently into the distance, and if we drew Professor McGonagall's gaze closer, we could see a lone figure, holding up something reflecting a golden glow in the setting sun.
