The question of "time" is one of 12 unsolved mysteries studied by the Ministry of Magic.

At the Ministry of Magic, the people who study these issues are called "Silent Men".

The nature of their work is kept secret, so no one knows exactly what they are studying.

Professor Crocker of the "Department of Mysteries" (nature of the degree, not a Hogwarts teacher. ）

He has spent his life studying the magic of time.

If it weren't for the fact that every once in a while they would have seen his papers in some important academic journal of magic, people would not have realized that such a person existed.

His paper shows that the maximum amount of "time travel" should be limited to less than five hours if the traveler is not to cause serious harm to the traveler himself or to time itself.

The researchers used the "Time Reversal Spell" to wrap it in a small hourglass-shaped container to make it easier for wizards to carry the hourglass with them for "time travel".

Professor Crocker has also mentioned that all attempts to exceed the time limit are dangerous for "time travel". All wizards who do so have suffered the backlash of time.

Experiments have been conducted for a long time, but they have gradually discovered that many long-distance time travelers cannot survive this journey.

According to Owen, the Ministry of Magic stopped studying time travel in 1899.

Because before that, there was an experiment in which a witch was trapped in 1402 for 5 days.

When she returned to the modern era, her body had aged for about 5 centuries, and her travels had caused irreparable damage.

The time of her travel was directly on her.

Luckily, wizards have a long lifespan, and if a Muggle might return, it will turn into smoke and dust.

But even in terms of the lifespan of a wizard, five hundred years is too long.

She eventually died in the Spell Damage Unit at St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Of course, this is not the most terrible.

Something even more terrible is still to come.

Because it was discovered that the trajectories of the lives of the people she met in 'time travel' had all changed.

Of those people, at least twenty-five descendants have disappeared in modern times.

Because they were "never born."

In addition to this, time itself is seriously disturbed by this violation of the "law of time".

The day the witch returned to the modern day was Tuesday, and the day lasted two and a half days, and then the following Thursday, it ended in just four hours.

The Ministry of Magic had a lot of trouble covering up the incident, and since then, the laws and penalties for time travelers have been strengthened.

Hundreds of laws have been enacted to limit people's use of "time turners".

And only in the Ministry of Magic, there are a limited number of "time turners", and it is difficult for ordinary people to have them.

Because all the spells of time disappeared in that experiment.

Coincidentally, it's as if someone deliberately erased a piece of history.

One week ago, Owen led a team to attack the Ministry of Magic, with the aim of being a time-turner here.

Although they can only wear it back for five days, even an hour will give them an unbeatable advantage.

It's a pity that a certain black-skinned girl has insight into his plan and moves faster than him!

By the time he led people to the Secret Affairs Division, all the magic items had been moved, not to mention the time turner, not even a single hair was left for him!

Damn Granger!!

————

So it follows from this that the grandfather paradox does not appear in this world.

If a person goes back in time and kills his immediate family, then in this world he and his relatives, as well as an entire family, will disappear into time, and there will be no trace of their existence in history.

With the exception of the Department of Mysteries, and some legendary magic items invented by Nick, this history can be observed, and for most wizards, that history is like the wind, and it will be blown away.

"Still, there are some dangers!"

After all, according to a certain fan, the unlucky children of the Potter family, they seem to be able to modify history like crazy.

If he can't keep the future self who walks with him, there will also be unexpected situations when he completes history.

After all, that's time!

The greatest magic besides the magic of love!

"Click, click!"

Wander through the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Suddenly, several strange sounds rang out in Owen's ears.

It was like the sound of some sharp object piercing something.

"Ultimate Fluorescent Flash!"

He threw a cloud of fluorescence at where the sound came from.

A faint pale glow tore through a corner of the darkness, through which Owen could see the abyss of terror that was so close at hand.

It was a massive, terrifying bunch of monsters.

At first, Owen was just a lost eight-eyed spider.

After all, the Forbidden Forest is full of such dark creatures.

He hadn't seen this creature in a long time since he had wiped out a large number of Eight-Eyed Spiders last year!

According to the Weasley Twins, a regular visitor to the Forbidden Forest and Hagrid's most troubled student, who failed to transfer to the academy and was despised by the Gryffindors in various ways.

After Christmas last year, until the summer vacation, they never encountered the eight-eyed giant spider in the Forbidden Forest again.

It looks like it's gone!

"Lost~"

Hit a hornet's nest!

Without the slightest hesitation! Owen is very smooth and straight away!

In the bushes, there was a bloodstained patch, and there were many corpses of wizards or Muggles and Centaurs on the ground.

Some creature with a monkey-like body and a head of various animals was sticking out of their mouthparts with long tentacles that were piercing into the heads of the corpses.

I don't know if it's the 'food' of life or death, I tilted my head and rolled my eyes with all my might. It's like a salty tofu brain being sucked up by a monster.

Some kind of black liquid was 'squeezed' out of his eye sockets.

It's a terrifying scene that resembles a creature called an alien.

The gruesome scene evokes one of Owen's few childhood shadows.

So, don't just open the CD at your uncle's house!!

'Collapse and Sell'

Owen ran decisively!

"Click!"

Around, gently pry open your skull, slowly suck your bean curd - the sound comes and goes.

"Mayay!"

He can't give away this high-quality brain!

If you want to eat it, eat Justin's brain melon.

Brand new and never used!

Absolutely sweet!

"Lost~" Owen, who was brainstorming, didn't have to look back to find that in the woods around him, the number of monsters was terrifying.

The moment he threw out the fluorescent, he was discovered.

Suddenly!

A few monsters that hadn't even put away their mouthparts were frantically attacking him!

"Knock ~ sand sculpture future people! What the fuck are you leading! ”

Owen, who launched the ruthlessness, even scolded himself.

As he ran, he stretched out his wand sideways.

A red light glowed from the end of the wand, and the monster behind it was instantly knocked out of the air.

But there was no pause, and almost immediately after the fall, the monster got back to its feet.

"Gan~"

There are many more noisy figures in the woods on both sides.

Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark, he could tell with his toes that the current situation was terrible.

"Huh~"

A sound of breaking the air came from behind him.

Owen subconsciously lowered his head, only to see that the flesh and blood on the top of his head in front of him, the mouthparts like frog tongues galloped by, and he was frightened, so he threw out a few cutting spells and chopped the thing into several pieces.

However, it didn't seem to work, because in an instant, the thing healed on its own.

"Avada Suo~~~"

A dazzling green light rises.

Then death came, only this time, to the bewilderment of death, where was the soul he was going to harvest?

Yes, like the Dead One, the monster that seemed to have been lodged by the alien did fall to the ground, despite the Killing Curse.

But soon, it was as if the broken building blocks had been repaired by a repair charm.

He hadn't gone far before the creature revived and caught up.

"I hate monsters that can be resurrected the most!!"

A chase battle is coming to an end before it even begins.

In the face of this undead monster, Owen couldn't think of any good way at all.

At this moment, angles, flying segments, and all kinds of undead guys popped up in his mind.

If it's one or two, of course he'll be easy to deal with.

But—just by casually turning his head, there were more than a dozen of them.

He can cast spells to crack the earth and tie up a few.

Even if you don't die, it's not so easy to crawl out of the ground.

But the reality is that as long as he is slightly distracted, countless mouthparts will come at him.

You can't hide from it.

"Bang!"

Raising his hand again, a petrification spell was thrown.

But it didn't work, they were just knocked out of the way, and the spell didn't do much damage to them.

Seeing that danger was looming step by step, the zombies who were going to eat his brain were no more than a few feet below him.

"I'm going to cast some breaking spells!"

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Owen simply didn't run away.

Brake directly, then raise your wand in a circle.

With a frenzy of yelling, "Let's try this!" ”

"Fierce fire—fire of the plain!"

"Fire Shield - Talisman !!"

Two spells.

Crimson and azure flames erupted from the tip of his wand.

It was like a balloon that exploded, and the flames instantly inflated and rose against the storm! It spread quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a raging cloud of fire.

"Chase! Don't you fucking like chasing! ”

In the flames, Owen turned his head suddenly.

After seeing those monsters that were still chasing after them, he suddenly burst out of his heart with supreme anger. The wand shook and pointed directly at them.

Nima's alien!!

Death to the master!!

A red dragon suddenly appeared in the fire cloud, and with a wave of its arms, it roared towards the countless brain-eating monsters.

Along the way, the surrounding bushes were ignited in an instant, and countless monsters turned into ashes in an instant.

In the extremely high temperature, they didn't even make a sound of struggle, and they turned into dust.

"Haha! See? You have to use fire to deal with wild beasts! ”

"Simmering !!"

Owen was able to tilt his head up.

The light of the fire shone brightly on his face. The whole person was bathed in light.

This is the magic he is most proud of at the moment.

The two flames fuel each other.

In an instant, the fire can be liberated to the greatest extent.

Of course, he can't control the flames yet, but it's the perfect way to clear the field.

Owen was getting trial.

The eyes swept over the flames and starry sky around them.

Just one glance, his smile came to an abrupt end.

"Isn't it! Eldest brother! Lock blood? ”

In the midst of the flames, the struggling corpse suddenly came back to life.

There are many gray spots in the golden-blue glow.

It's small, and it's going to be engulfed in flames in an instant, but there's no denying that in just a moment, those gray spots will resurface.

"Dumbledore's crooked nose!"

"Is it really immortal?"

Although Owen knew very well in his heart that the spell that could kill this group of monsters was the Gublai Immortal Fire.

The eternal flame can burn forever, so that these creatures are forever in the cycle of life and death.

until they exhaust their unknown resurrection abilities.

But the problem is - Gublai Immortal Fire, he can't use it!

Lose~

The fire shield shield strengthened the fire curse, he originally thought, it was no longer weaker than the Gubrai Immortal Fire, but such a combination could not completely kill them.

And—

The fiery dragon in the sky was about to break out of his grasp.

After getting fuel for the Fire Shield.

The fire has skyrocketed several times like crazy.

Maintaining this level of magic is no longer human.

You have to find a way to get out, otherwise, even if you don't get eaten by zombies, you will be burned to death out of control!

Why don't you try shapeshifting?

Although Owen does not guarantee that his limbs will be sound after the transformation, there is really no other way now.

"Meow~"

Perhaps it was the heat that caused the temperature in Owen's arms to rise dramatically, and the hot environment woke up the lazy cat lying on his chest.

Then it got out of its head.

Then with a blurred eye, staring at him.

"Meow? Meow me ”

Although Owen couldn't understand meows.

But what he can be sure of is that what Shylock just said is: "Pretty boy! Why don't you sleep at night? ”

"Meow meow meow? (Let's do something!) Owen tried to make contact with Shylock's cries.

"Meow?" Shylock, leaping onto his shoulders, then stretched his limbs and tail high.

Then he sat upright, licked his paws and began to say meows: "Meow meow (伱this) meow meow meow (accent is really heavy) meow ”

"Don't meow little princess, meow a little longer, the two of us have to report to Avalon!"

Owen roared, his wand in both hands.

Despite this, the wand in his hand was still shaking wildly.

He's going to lose it.

"Meow ~ Woo (weak!) ）”

Shylock screamed.

Then he leaped forward.

In the next second, Owen only felt that the sky and the earth had changed color. He seemed to have come to outer space, and in the cylindrical passage, the light of the stars shimmered, and countless golden lines stretched open this strange and strange world like a pillar of heaven.

"Hillock ?!!!"

Owen exclaimed, looking at the white cat's golden-streaked neck, speechless in shock.

You really have the blood of Sugo!

So which one made the mistake!!

A reversal of time and space.

The upheaval is not enough to describe what Owen perceived.

He preferred to call it, passing through the stargate.

Came to another planet.

Back in the dark forest.

Owen, who suddenly felt that he had escaped, twisted his neck and trembled and withdrew his wand~~

The magic has dried up!

Tired!

Just when he was about to find out where the Forbidden Forest was around, and was about to go back to the castle to call someone and find the field!

An arrow flew through the air, and with a 'bang' it flew right over his head and nailed to the tree behind him.

The voice was creepy.

"Huh?"

It's not a fright—but it's too dark ahead.

So the hard-mouthed Owen refused to admit that he was actually panicked.

Raising his hand, a "Avada Quest" was thrown over.

This time the Grim Reaper acted as a light bulb.

Miserable green and miserable death.

Illuminates the darkness.

Owen finally saw the appearance of the person who attacked him.

Well—above the waist was a man, with red hair and a beard, but below the waist was a shiny brownish-red horse with a long red tail trailing behind it.

Human ponytail.

It turned out to be a centaur.

The opposite side still maintains the posture of opening the bow and arrows, but the pupils are not focused.

The Death Curse passed him by, smashing into the trunk of a tree behind him.

With a 'click', the trunk snapped, and the poor centaur woke up with a loud thud of landing.

"Hey (#'O′), didn't your mom tell you not to shoot in the woods?" Owen's wave of wicked people sued first.

He slid Shylock in his hand, wand in hand.

Always be prepared: If you are not in a hurry, tell the cat to run away.

I don't know why tonight's Forbidden Forest is a little scary.

There are too many enemies.

"Who are you?"

Immediately afterward, many centaurs gathered in the dark jungle, some holding torches in their hands, to disperse the darkness around them.

"Me?"

Owen pointed to his robe, "You're blind! Can't see this dress, no! ”

"Hogwarts?"

"No young wizard can go so deep into the forest." The centaurs seem to be distrustful of his identity.

"It must have been disguised by an outsider!"

"That's right, the spell he just used was the Killing Charm, and only the most evil wizards would use this kind of magic!"

"Hey!" Owen interrupted the centaur who said he was evil.

"I'm the Dark Knight, OK? Darkness does not equal evil! The Aurors still use the Killing Curse, is he all evil? ”

Owen was stunned.

In his brain, he was flipping through the knowledge about the centaurs.

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" is clearly documented.

Centaurs are magical creatures whose upper part of their body is humanoid and the lower half is indistinguishable from that of horses.

They themselves are a separate species, the Centaurs.

Half-human, half-beast that is not a hybrid, despite having the same intelligence as a human, the centaurs have asked the British Ministry of Magic to classify them as "beasts" because they do not want to share human identities with creatures such as dominatrix and vampires.

In general, centaurs are very proud of their race, and can become very irritable when they feel that a human might want to "take advantage" of them, whether the person does it intentionally or not.

And I am very grateful to the Ministry of Magic for its 'hard work' in recent years.

Nowadays, the relationship between centaurs and humans is not mutually hostile, but it can also be said to be inseparable from old age.

The wizard had no idea what the centaur tribal society was like.

And our Newt seniors.

He doesn't seem to be interested in anything else that has a normal human body.

It's true to say that he's not interested in people!

Uh-huh--summing up the knowledge about centaurs in his mind, Owen suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have much room to play around!

The other party doesn't need anything.

How can you fool yourself?

"You are?"

At this moment, a handsome man with shiny white blonde hair, a silver body and a silver ponytail walked out from among the centaurs.

The Platinum Horse Man looked Owen up and down, and then said cautiously, "Owen Sanchez? ”

"Huh?"

Owen was stunned when he heard this?

Are buddies so famous?

"Do you recognize me?"

"Of course." The white-haired, long-haired centaur walked over, "My name is Ferenze. ”

"You and Dumbledore cleaned up the Forbidden Forest of the growing number of dark creatures, I saw it, Dumbledore came to me and mentioned you."

Well?

Owen instantly understood that the centaur named Ferenze in front of him was talking about him and Dumbledore using fire to burn a large number of eight-eyed giant spiders last year.

But the problem is - he was on a female account at that time!

How did this centaur know that Lani was him?

"This way." Ferenze invited him, "The Forbidden Forest won't be safe tonight. ”

Yes, tonight's Forbidden Forest will not survive.

Owen knew, so he didn't refuse Ferenze's invitation.

He needed time to wake up and figure out the direction.

————

And it's not just the Forbidden Forest that is unstable.

Tonight, Malfoy Manor was also full of unease.

In the living room, Lucius paced back and forth.

He's waiting.

Waiting for people, also waiting for things.

A lot of things are going to happen.

It can be said that in the context of Fudge's inevitable downfall, the two people he supports, Barty Crouch and Rufus Scrimgeur, are both 'favorites to win the championship'.

He must know who will sit in that seat after tomorrow!

Of course, in addition to this, he is waiting for another batch.

"Master, here they are." With a bang, a cowardly house-elf appeared in the room.

"Alright, you go down!"

"Yes, master." Phoebe kept her head down, not daring to look up at Lucius the whole time.

After the elf pushes away.

Lucius sat down slowly, his eyes calming down as he looked out the door.

Suddenly, the candles in the living room flickered.

Then he thought he should be dazzled.

Because in front of him, it was as if the space had suddenly been split apart.

A gap appeared.

Then it slowly expanded.

Immediately after, a female voice came, "Hi! Be careful! Don't be taken by others! ”

"Don't worry, the location is the living room, probably、No one should be so unlucky." It's a boy.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Living room? Don't people eat? ”

There was a slapping sound, and the space in front of it seemed to be torn apart.

Many people have come out of it.

"Looks like it's going smoothly this time!"

These people, they have different skins, they look different, they dress differently.

Even the English accents spoken on the lips are different.

The only thing that is the same is their age.

All are quite young.

Lucius guessed that none of the group were more than thirty years old.

"Hello, excuse me, you are. Hmm."
