Chapter 195
Chapter 193 Time Converter
After leaving the room of responsiveness, Peter Pettigrew has reverted back to a rat-spotted form.
Ulysses let him leave the castle, thought for a while, and walked to Dumbledore’s office.
…
Harry has been upset recently.
Two of his best friends recently broke off because of a pet mouse. It seemed that they had made up their minds to stay away from each other. He had to be caught between the two as a microphone.
And Hagrid’s eagle-headed horse-winged beast is facing punishment. Although his willingness to save the magical creature is not very strong, Hagrid can be said to be his best relationship professor in Hogwarts. , It is impossible to stand idly by.
At this moment, they were looking at the eagle-headed horse-winged beast Buckbeak in Hagrid’s hut, stretching his limbs and leaning on Hagrid’s parquet quilt, with huge wings folded on his side, enjoying a plate of dead ferrets.
Harry looked away from the uncomfortable scene and saw an oversized, furry brown coat and an ugly yellow and orange tie hanging on the door of Hagrid’s wardrobe.
“What are these for, Hagrid?” Harry asked.
“The case between Buckbeak and the Dangerous Animals Committee.”
Hagrid said, “On this Friday, I’m going to London with it. I booked two berths on the Cavalier bus… But I won’t mention it beforehand. I have something to talk to you.”
He sat down between Harry and Ron, his expression serious and uncharacteristic.
“What’s the matter?” Harry asked.
“Hermione,” Hagrid said.
“What’s wrong with her?” Ron asked.
“She’s not so good, that’s it. After Christmas, she visited me many times and felt lonely. You ignored her at first because of Firebolt, but now you don’t talk to her because her cat—”
“——Eat the spots!”
Ron interrupted angrily.
“Because her cat did everything a cat could do, didn’t it?”
Hagrid continued stubbornly, “She cried several times, do you know? She has a hard time now, she has to do so many homework, and she has time to help me prepare for Buckbeak’s lawsuit… she gave me I found some good information, and now I think I am hopeful…”
Harry and Ron had some embarrassment on their faces, and said embarrassingly:
“We should also help… I’m sorry…”
“I don’t blame you!”
Hagrid waved his hand, ignoring Harry’s apology, “I know you are busy enough. I see you practicing Quidditch day and night. But I must say, I think you two should look at your friends. It’s more important than flying broomsticks and mice.”
Harry and Ron were silent.
After coming out of the principal’s office, Ulysses smiled. Dumbledore agreed with his plan, and he certainly wouldn’t miss the chance to get a nail in Voldemort’s side.
Ulysses told him the truth about Sirius Black. At first, Dumbledore was a little suspicious, but after listening to Ulysses’ narrative and recalling a series of things, he quickly understood.
In this way, the first task that Dumbledore confided to Ulysses can be said to have been completed, and he should be ready to investigate the hell of the theft.
But before that, Ulysses needs to experiment with the use of the time converter.
He has a hunch that this thing will come in handy.
Ulysses found a remote classroom away from the corridors and stairs, but when he first walked in, he heard a very low sob that was suppressed.
“Oh-Granger Miss?”
Ulysses’ footsteps disturbed Hermione, who was holding her knees and sobbing in the classroom. She raised her head in a panic, with a few teardrops hanging on her eyes. After wiping her hands and feet hurriedly, she pulled out an awkward smile:
“Mr. Lestrange… such a coincidence.”
“It’s a coincidence. I thought this place was remote enough…”
Ulysses smiled at Hermione who quickly recovered her peace, sat down not far from her, and said, “Have you encountered any troubles?”
“It’s just that the pressure has been a little bit heavy recently, so you can see a joke, Mr. Lestrange.”
Hermione said awkwardly. She didn’t expect anyone to come in this classroom. She was caught off guard and exposed her most vulnerable side. Now she just wants to leave here. “It seems that Mr. Lestrange has something to do here. Will not be disturbing.”
After speaking, she picked up a few books and turned around. When she walked to the door, she speeded up a bit.
Ulysses didn’t care. He took a silver pocket watch from his pocket, and the time on it showed 11:40. He thought for a while, took out a quill pen, and made a mark on his palm.
Then, Ulysses pulled out a slender golden chain from the collar of his robe, looked at the small hourglass for a while, and twisted it five times.
Ulysses felt like he was moving backwards quickly, surrounded by blurry colors and lights. This feeling was a bit like the feeling when he was teleported to The Underworld.
Soon, he felt his own feet stepping on the solid ground again. He was still sitting in this remote empty classroom. There was no change in the surroundings, except that the position of the sun outside the window was inclined a bit.
“It’s five hours ago…I’m still sleeping.”
Ulysses felt his chin and thought, stretched out his palm, and found that the black mark still remained, “Is it the body that looks back in time, not the state…”
He took out the silver pocket watch which showed 11:42, and the second hand inside was still tick-tick.
“So this is equivalent to opening a tributary in the long river of time, and returning to five hours ago, I will still be affected by time… the time after the overdraft?”
Ulysses was lost in thought. The pocket watch shows that he cannot rely on the time converter to increase his life. The total amount of time is fixed, like a straight line, which can only flow slowly and firmly along one end.
Nevertheless, this is also a magical item that can be called a miracle. Ulysses can use it to advance time in the future, practice magic, do research, and even accelerate the growth of physical fitness.
But, be careful when using it, you can’t be discovered by yourself a few hours ago. If there are two selves at the same time, then one must be corrected by the rules of time, and no matter which one, the consequences will be unbearable by Ulysses.
Ulysses put away his pocket watch and looked at the time converter. The grit that had been stagnant in the hourglass was slowly flowing downward at this time.
“After using it, you can’t use it anymore, which is equivalent to a cooldown of five hours or even more… Dumbledore also said that every use will consume a lot of energy.”
Ulysses thought silently, “Of course, it would be unreasonable if it can be recycled. Even if you use other time converters, it won’t work, because it’s me who goes back to the past, and it’s me who bears the pressure of time. , Not the time converter…”
