Chapter 362: The Cycle of Fate

Blurred colors and shapes fill the space, and everything around it changes rapidly.

Ivan's eyes widened, and he desperately wanted to know what had happened to the place since he left, whether Hermione had reached Hogwarts Castle safely, and whether the Dementors had caught up.

But the speed of change around him was too fast, and Ivan could only see a large number of black shadows falling from the sky and scattering in all directions in a certain instant.

Occasionally, a few vaguely shaped animals pass by, and more often it alternates between day and night.

I don't know how long it took for everything to finally settle down, and Ivan regained his ability to move.

Looking up at the sky, it was already evening, and Ivan knew that he must have returned to normal time, and he remembered that it was in the evening when he first used the time turner.

"I wonder what happened to Hermione?" Ivan sighed.

Ivan guessed that the Dementors were searching for him and Hermione in the Forbidden Forest, hoping that the little witch had already left by then.

Otherwise... Ivan glanced at the time turner in his hand, hesitated, and still didn't use it.

He decided to go to the castle to check on the situation first, and if all went well, Hermione would have returned.

Thinking of this, Ivan took out the map of the living spots, tapped his wand, and muttered.

"I solemnly swear that I have not done anything good!"

On the blank parchment, many delicate ink lines suddenly appeared, spreading like spider web threads to every corner of the parchment, drawing a map clearly marked with names.

Peter Pettigrew slept in his bedroom, Ron and Harry in the common room, and Dumbledore in his headmaster's room.

As for Hermione...

Ivan searched around and successfully found the name of the little witch, who seemed to be moving quickly, probably going somewhere.

While Ivan was holding the map and calculating Hermione's movements, he walked briskly towards Hogwarts Castle and easily blocked her in the corridor.

"Hermione!" Ivan greeted.

The little witch, who was scurrying around in the castle in a hurry, turned her head sharply when she heard Ivan's voice, and said angrily with her book in her arms.

"I've finally found you, Ivan! You just used a stun spell on me... It's too much! ”

The little witch's angry words made Ivan stunned, but when he noticed the beads of sweat on Hermione's forehead and the thick book he was holding in his hand, he quickly understood what was going on.

Before Ivan could reply, Hermione shoved the book in her hand into Ivan's arms. "I've found some records in this book, you should be able to take a look, it should be able to help..."

Ivan glanced down, it was the book "Decryption of the Dark Arts".

"Thank you, Hermione!" Ivan didn't open the book, but said with emotion.

"Don't talk about this now...", the little witch shook her head eagerly, and motioned for Ivan to hurry up and turn the book, which was on page 125!

Ivan had only flipped through a few pages, and since he had read them all, he only flipped through them later.

Seeing that the book "Black Magic Decryption" has a large number of cruel black magic experiment analysis, I remembered the questions that I was puzzled about before, but I never had time to ask.

"That's right... Hermione! How did you come up with the idea to look up this book, don't you usually read books on dark arts? ”

Hermione hesitated for a moment, then told her that she had woken up and found an extra note on the bedside, then took the crumpled note from the pocket of her wizard's robe and opened it.

Ivan clearly saw that it read: Forbidden Book Zone... The thirteenth row of the ninth column of the bookshelf..."Black Magic Demystified"!

The most important thing is that Ivan recognizes that it is Hermione's handwriting!

"Remember that question you asked me back then? What happens to a dead wizard when a potion is used..."Hermione said very quickly, then continued to explain.

"I'm not as smart as you, so I've looked up a lot of books and thought about it for a long time without a clue. But if the time turner can go back in time, why not let our future self tell us the answer? ”

"How so? You're so much smarter than I am... Hermione! I couldn't even think of such a good solution! Ivan looked at the little witch in front of him and couldn't help but say.

He had never thought of such a novel solution when potions research was in trouble before, as Hermione said, as long as he calculated properly, he could let his future self help solve some headaches.

In addition, to Ivan's relief, now that Hermione got the note, it proves that she in the future avoided the search of the Dementors and returned to the castle safely.

Being praised by Ivan, Hermione raised the corners of her mouth slightly, very happy, she felt that her efforts these days had not been in vain. But in the end, he was reserved to show that he was just reading and a little clever.

"How? Was the content of this book useful? Hermione looked at Ivan expectantly.

"Yes, it's useful!" Ivan nodded in reply.

"I'm sure I'll be able to help when I say that! Then we'll start working on it nowβ€”" said the little witch confidently.

However, Ivan didn't respond, hesitating as to how to explain it to Hermione...

Ivan's silence made Hermione faintly aware that something was wrong,

The happy look on the little witch's face slowly dimmed, and she suddenly thought that Ivan might have finished this time travel, and her previous efforts might be in vain...

"You're done with what you're going to do?" Hermione pursed her lips and said with some depression.

"Yes!" Ivan nodded, then looked at Hermione, who was sullen, and smiled. "That's why I wanted to thank you... Hermione! This time, you've been a great help! ”

"You meanβ€”" Hermione's brown eyes widened, and she stared at Ivan in a daze, she could certainly understand the consciousness in Ivan's words.

It took the little witch a long time to react, and then she said in a panic. "But... But what haven't I done? ”

"So, want to have an adventure now? It might be a little dangerous, though..."Ivan asked as he removed the time-turner from his body, slung it around Hermione's neck.

Ivan has realized that if he doesn't send the little witch away, he will never touch her in the future.

Because the time of departure is also the point in time when the time of stay is reached, and the point in time when you will return...
