Chapter 166: Time Turner
"Brie!"
Professor McGonagall hurried up and took a hard look at Brie, relieved to see that she was okay.
Dumbledore looked around to see that the fleeing Dementors outside the window had not yet completely disappeared, and his eyes flashed, knowing that it was Brie's doing, but he didn't say anything.
Snape was silent, he wouldn't have said anything that Brie should have been in Slytherin's dormitory, not here, and neither were Professors Sprout and Flitwick. They had long known about Brie's life in the Corner Tower, and no one wanted to uncover the secret.
But...
"Oh, you're the kid on the train."
Lupin looked at Brie gently, and seeing that Brie's Slytherin robe didn't change his face, he said, "Is there something going on here?" ”
Looking out the window, he said solemnly, "Dementors? ”
"James... Don't worry about the Dementors, the Ministry of Magic will take care of it. ”
At this time, Dumbledore spoke, he looked at Brie and said, "I smell green apple pie, Ode loves it, sorry for delaying your time at Fudge, go and rest, kid." ”
Brie heard Dumbledore and thought about Siris Blake, and what Yana had said about werewolves......
"Headmaster Dumbledore, wait, I have something to ask you about."
Brie took out the egg Dumbledore had given him earlier and whispered, "How did you find it, I'm curious why you went to the Forbidden Forest." ”
Could it be that Dumbledore discovered the werewolf, so he went to the Forbidden Forest?
"Oh, I'm curious about this too." Dumbledore pointed to the egg in Brie's hand and smiled, "It caused some noise, so I went to take a look." ”
Dumbledore thought back to what it had been.
At that time, the whole of Hogwarts was still in silence, the young wizards and most of the professors were outside, Dumbledore was about to rest, but there was a strange aura in the Forbidden Forest, which caused a reaction from the Forbidden Forest Contract, and even caused the Forbidden Forest Contract to fail for a short time, so Dumbledore went to the Forbidden Forest.
And in the Forbidden Forest, among the intertwined vines under the deep old trees, an egg is slowly condensing.
The magic around him was like substance, so Dumbledore couldn't help but be surprised, so he paid attention to it, and during the rest of the holidays, he came to check it every day, and it was precisely because of this that he discovered that the magic that belonged to Brie on this egg, so special that it made him feel familiar.
"Maybe we can talk about this later, but I won't blame the little wizard for having a spirit of exploration, it must be a great magic."
Dumbledore smiled at Brie.
Brie nodded, and he continued, "I was going to the Forbidden Forest to find it. ”
Professor Lupin on the side heard Brie's words and looked at the professors around him, but the professors did not change, as if this was a very ordinary thing, which made him a little surprised, you must know that when he was a little wizard, someone dared to enter the Forbidden Forest at will, but he would be locked up in a dark room, and he would be confined, is the management of Hogwarts so lax now?
"Headmaster Dumbledore, didn't you find something else?"
A friend of mine told me that there seemed to be a werewolf in the Forbidden Forest.
Brie told Yana the secret he told him directly, and if he didn't tell him who told him, Yana would be fine.
Brie continued, "You should check the Forbidden Forest Pact, those werewolves are from the Forbidden Lands, the same werewolves who dealt with unicorns in the first grade. ”
Werewolf!
Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore looked at each other, and Lu Ping's complexion on the other side became nervous.
"Are you sure it's a werewolf?" Lupin exclaimed.
Dumbledore pressed Lupin's shoulder, allowing him to ease his mind.
Snape glanced at him and snorted coldly, indifferent.
Dumbledore said solemnly, "I'll find out about this, there have been some problems with the Forbidden Forest Covenant recently." ”
Saying this, Dumbledore gave Brie a strange look, which made Brie feel a little strange, as if he caused the incident, but Brie didn't know anything, and he didn't look at the Patronus turned into an egg, he let it grow on its own.
Seeing that there was some silence among the professors, Professor Sprout stepped forward and said, "It looks like we have another meeting going on, and by the way, we will do something about the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid's matter ......"
Hearing Hagrid, Dumbledore sighed and said, "Hagrid will soon become the new professor of the Guardian Magical Creatures class, and by the way, he will also be the Warden of the Forbidden Forest, but obviously, he will be distracted by the affairs of the class." ”
"Hagrid?" Snape glared at the deep eyes in disbelief, snorted, and said in a long tone, "A half-blood giant, can you expect him to teach?" ”
"Don't say that, Severus, we should believe Hagrid, Professor Kettleburn is of retirement age."
Professor McGonagall was obviously unaware of this, and she frowned, "But, Dumbledore, you know that when he turned the eucalyptus for Hagrid last year, the Ministry of Magic charged him with raising dangerous creatures at Hogwarts, which would have prevented him from serving as a professor." ”
Dumbledore shook his head.
"Rest assured, Fudge has decided to abolish this charge, after all, there were no casualties from that eight-eyed spider at the time."
Could Fudge be so kind?
Brie listened to Dumbledore's words, and suddenly thought of the book that would bite people when buying books, which was obviously a special kind of magical animal.
And why didn't the faculty not introduce Hagrid as the professor of the new Magical Creature Protection Class...... It's Fudge who still holds on to this and doesn't let go, maybe it's a trick, and now Fudge has made some deal with Dumbledore to make Hagrid a professor.
Professor Sprout rubbed Brie's head and said softly: "Go back quickly, the next time is the time of the professors, and also, don't go to the Forbidden Forest during this time, although we trust your strength, but listening to Dumbledore, the Forbidden Forest itself has a problem during this time." ”
Brie nodded.
"I see, Professor Sprout, by the way, I bought you a present, I think you'll see it when you get back to your lounge."
Professor Sprout laughed even deeper, and she said dotingly: "Look, little Brie is already so tall, almost a big child, a lot more sensible, you must know that there are not many people who give the professors a gift for the opening of the school, by the way, don't forget Professor Lupin's share, although he was a former Gryffindor student, but I know his character, he is definitely a gentle person, I always thought he was a Hufflepuff at the time......"
At this, Professor Sprout's eyes darkened.
"But he is a Gryffindor, and he has boundless courage in dealing with his friends, alas."
Professor Sprout shook his head and didn't continue, but Brie had learned about Professor Lupin's temperament, and would be a good professor if he didn't touch his scales.
"Then I'll go to rest, Professor Sprout."
……
Back in the corner tower, Brie quickly took the egg out of his pocket and placed it on the table.
Feeling the aura of the patron saint inside the egg, Brie gently looked at it and probed it gently, and soon, he found that the faint soul aura inside the egg would be difficult for him to detect if it weren't for natural magic.
"Hurry up and be born, I think you can surprise me a lot."
The next day, early in the morning, Brie received an invitation from Professor McGonagall, along with Hermione, who was grim-faced, and in front of her was a pocket watch that could be turned, and on the other side, there were two third-year course selection sheets.
"Oh, come here, you won't be angry that I called you here at this time."
With that, Professor McGonagall said to Brie, "I'll have to get Potter out of bed." ”
Brie was woken up early in the morning by Harry, who was standing outside the corner tower, and if Professor McGonagall hadn't asked Potter to come, Brie would have had to throw Harry out.
"That's right." Professor McGonagall didn't talk nonsense, last night a group of professors discussed for a long time, and they didn't rest until midnight, and today is a full class, so they are a little tired.
Professor McGonagall handed the two third-year timetables to Brie and Hermione, and she said, "I've made sure you have so many courses to choose from, I know what you're capable of, but ......"
She pointed to the schedule.
"I also understand that you can't take multiple classes at the same time, and the professors can't teach you one-on-one, so I have arranged for you to apply for something from the Ministry of Magic."
She picked up the pocket watch on the table and said, "This is a time turner, a magic item that goes back an hour with every turn." ”
The time turner looked like a small shiny gold timer, with a very long and beautiful gold chain, very delicate, but there was only one.
"I can't guarantee that it can be used by two people at the same time, sorry......"
"I can give up, Professor." Brie spoke up before Professor McGonagall finished speaking, these courses were obviously arranged for him by Professor McGonagall, the so-called comprehensive basic education, he Brie didn't want it, let Hermione enjoy her busy schoolwork, she must like it.
Didn't you see Hermione staring at the time-turner with straight eyes?
Professor McGonagall clearly expected this, and she sighed, "I think so, then you should cross out some unwanted lessons on this." ”
Brie took the class schedule handed by Professor McGonagall, and quickly crossed out the divination class, arithmetic divination, Muggle studies, etc., leaving only the major course and the magical creature protection class, as for the ancient Runewen, Brie had seen it in the library before, and what Hogwarts could teach was very simple, and there was no need to waste time at all.
Professor McGonagall frowned.
"So you're going to pick an elective, Brie!"
Hermione, who was on the side, blinked when she heard Professor McGonagall's words, and she thought that if Brie only chose one course, would it not be as good as her, then the first place...
She hurriedly said, "Professor, I think everyone has the right to choose!" ”
Looking at Hermione in a hurry and Brie with a blank face, Professor McGonagall was dumbfounded for a moment, and she said, "Alright, alright, I just want you to know more about the wizarding world, Brie." ”
Saddened to see Professor McGonagall, Brie said, "Then I'll take another divination class?" ”
I heard that the divination class is the best elective course to mix scores, and you can get points as long as you pretend to be surprised in class, and the same is true at the end of the semester, anyway, it's a god's chatter.
"Then it's decided, none of the laziest students at Hogwarts will dare take an elective."
Professor McGonagall took Brie's timetable and quickly added a divination lesson.
"Alright, Brie, you go out, I need to talk to Miss Granger about how to use the time turner, after all, traveling through time is a dangerous thing, you can't change anything, if you implicate too much, it will bring disaster."
With that, Professor McGonagall kicked Brie out.
"Hi, Brie."
Harry, who had been waiting outside the door, saw Brie come out and immediately beckoned, "Let's go down for breakfast?" ”
"Yes." Brie nodded, much to Harry's excitement.
"Did you hear, just in the hall, Dumbledore announced that Hagrid was the new professor of the Magical Creature Protection Class, which is great."
"By the way, and Professor Lupin, I saw him fly Peeves in the stairwell, do you know that spell?"
Harry babbled beside Brie, making Brie a little irritated.
"Wes came, why didn't he come with you?"
Harry blushed a little at Brie's words.
"He played a fantasy game with another roommate for a long time last night, and he hasn't woken up yet, so I'll have to bring some to him after breakfast."
At this time, the hall also arrived, and Draco saw Harry beside Brie at a glance, frowning and mocking, "Oh, the savior who fainted on the train, it's only been a day, and I have a face to see people, you must know that the little girls have not fainted." ”
"Hahaha."
Draco and Goyle and Braque, who were sitting next to him, laughed, and Pansy and Daphne covered their mouths, but Draco soon stopped laughing, and Daphne frowned in displeasure.
"Oude, can I sit here?"
Brie had just gotten rid of Harry and made it next to Draco when a Miss Greengrass came to him on the other side.
"Sit down, Astoria, and thank you for the chocolate sweets, they helped us on the train."
Astoria blushed and whispered, "It's okay. ”
"Hmph." Before Draco could say anything, Daphne rolled her eyes and said to Astoria, "Don't sit down, go back to your place, quick." ”
Pansy was a little surprised by Daphne's attitude, but after thinking about Brie's current position, she quickly reacted that this Astoria was not ordered by her family to approach Brie, but took matters into her own hands.
What a brave girl.
Pansy gave Astoria a look of admiration, but quickly turned her face and continued to eat her own food, which was none of her business.
Draco glanced at the silver cup with his fork and said dissatisfied, "Do you hear that, Miss Greengrass?" ”
"Don't do that, Draco, just a position." Brie didn't think about it that much, as long as it didn't interfere with his eating.
"Oh, don't do that?" Draco pursed his lips and said, "I'd rather that Hazard be next to you than this scheming little girl." ”
Astoria blushed, and quickly left Brie's side, her eyes red, but none of the little snakes went up to comfort her, only a few people watched her run out of the hall, and the rest were indifferent.
Speaking of Hazard, Draco glanced at the table again.
Taunted: "I heard that Hazard was seriously injured last year and is still recuperating...... I hope he can change schools in fear, one by one, all of them are rushing to be annoying! ”
