Hogwarts: Wizards Supreme

Listening to Blaise's words, Brian touched his chest intentionally or unintentionally, and continued:

"Why didn't you attack Potter and the others first? They couldn't defeat you."

"Because he is Harry Potter..." Shabini twitched the corner of his mouth, "He will definitely be watched by Dumbledore. I don't want to expose myself to his eyes."

"So, you attacked Hermione while she was following you that day?" Brian said.

"That's right, that day I met with people from the organization at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and that girl came out to follow me stupidly...without Harry Potter..." Shabini grinned.

"I have to say, her appearance did give me a surprise." Shabini said, "I have been thinking about how to get your time turner. I even tried drugging you or breaking into your room at night. Dormitory... But that day I suddenly realized that I only need to destroy one, and the Ministry of Magic will naturally come and take away the other... Moreover, she also sent me this..."

He raised the Marauder's Map in his hand again and said: "If it weren't for it, how could we catch you tonight? Originally, we were just here to find Peter Pettigrew, but we didn't expect that he would bring you here... It's really An unexpected surprise.”

"When did you get connected with Peter Pettigrew?" Brian raised his eyebrows.

"After I got this map, I accidentally discovered him while looking for you." Shabini kicked the mouse on the ground with her toes. The mouse cowered and hid behind a stone. "I am very curious about this person." Why did the person who deserved to die appear in Hogwarts, so I found him..."

"He actually knows about us and wants to seek our asylum, haha... Of course we will give him asylum, but he made him put forward a price that we can't refuse." Shabini smiled meaningfully.

"I'm very surprised, what kind of organization are you and why did you come to me?" Brian said, "I don't seem to have offended you."

"You can take this question to your grave." Shabini sneered. "I also want to thank you for chatting with me for so long and preparing us..."

"Ah, what a coincidence, I'm also waiting for time to pass..." Brian said helplessly, "Can you let me delay for a while?" His time turner is not ready for use yet.

Shabini sneered and did not answer. But Brian suddenly paused, his pupils dilating slightly.

A huge black dog suddenly appeared in the shadow behind Shabini, its big searchlight-like eyes looking straight at him, as if it was shining into the depths of his soul.

Brian only felt that everything around him became blurred, as if everything had stopped. The black dog opened its mouth, expanding and expanding in front of his eyes, as if it wanted to swallow the world, including him...

Brian opened his eyes wide, and he saw that at the black dog's throat, it was not the throat, but the stone arch with a curtain, and there was a huge suction force coming from it, pulling him hard.

A feeling of imminent death invaded his whole body, making Brian feel desperate. It seemed that all resistance was in vain. The only thing he could do was to close his eyes and wait for death.

Brian closed his eyes. He struggled to take out the small hourglass hanging around his neck, and the last grain of quicksand inside happened to fall. Brian turned it.

The small hourglass spun rapidly like a top, spinning round and round... Before being swallowed into the curtain, Brian used all his strength to grab the small hourglass and freeze it.

Everything around him became distorted and blurred, and the door seemed to be moving backwards and further away from him. The surrounding area turned into a blur of brilliance and gradually returned to its original appearance.

When Brian opened his eyes again, he saw the clouds in the sky turned red by the setting sun, like blazing fire.

"It's not time yet..." Brian muttered.

"Are they related to that door?" he pondered, "The Department of Mysteries..."

He glanced at the time turner in his hand that was once again unusable, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He went back exactly five hours.

After identifying the direction, Brian's figure slowly disappeared and walked towards the castle secretly.

"So..." Brian returned to the Room of Requirement. It was empty at this time and the students had not finished class yet.

He hung the time converter in his hand on the chair next to the desk, smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, the gift of time."

He turned and left the Room of Requirement, finding a dusty utility room on the eighth floor.

"Clean up." A whirlwind swept away all the dust. Brian locked the door and sat on a rickety chair.

He glanced at the panel. His participation in the plot just now brought him two witness points in income. Now he has a total of 5.2 witness points.

"It was dangerous just now, but in fact it was not dangerous at all." Brian thought about everything in the Forbidden Forest. "The outcome was already determined. I was just completing a period of history."

His conversation with Shabini was always stalling for time, on both sides. Shabini and the others were trying to buy time to get the bad luck over, because they were just coming to see Peter Pettigrew tonight. And Brian was always waiting for the time turner to be ready for use.

But in fact, Brian's escape was already doomed. If he hadn't escaped, it would have been impossible to send the time-turner to the Room of Requirement, and the paradox would have occurred in the past...so, he wouldn't have been in danger.

It was precisely after understanding this that Brian seemed confident.

"However, there are a lot of them, which is a bit beyond my expectation..." Brian muttered, "We can't stay like this... I just bought a little time."

"Then, let's try to make a time turner." He took out some materials from the bag.

It is worth mentioning that the time turner that led him to escape the ominous situation just now was a "gift of time". It had no source and no end, just like the stone, like the knowledge that came out of thin air.

He obtained the Time-Turner that his future self had placed there in the Room of Requirement, and placed it there again after using it to travel back in time.

"It's really interesting... how time can make such a gift," Brian said with a faint look, "But why?"

He shook his head and smiled, stopped thinking about it, and began to take stock of his materials. He couldn't find anything that contained past, present, and future, or anything that contained time, but he could wait.

"Duh..." There was an unhurried knock on the door.

Brian smiled and opened the door. There was another him outside the door. He smiled at Brian, handed him something, and left in a hurry.

Brian looked at the thing in his hand. It was a broken time turner.

"Interesting." He smiled, summoned a house elf, and took him into the secret room through apparation.

The secret room was still the same dark green, and the portrait of Slytherin was taking a nap. He yawned when he saw Brian arriving.

"What? Are you going to make a time turner?" the portrait joked in a hoarse voice.

"Yeah, it's time." Brian smiled.

"Hmm...did I sleep for several more years?" The portrait crossed its hands.

"No, it's less than a year." Brian took out the materials, stood in front of the circular stone platform in front of the portrait, and put the materials on it.

He thought about it and felt that it was better to be safer. He used two witness points to make his alchemy level exceed the master level. Although this cannot directly bring him knowledge, it can enhance his "feel" and increase his success rate.

Brian used the broken time turner as the main material, added many precious materials, smelted it through magic, and finally made a small hourglass.

An hour passed.

Next, he carefully carved runes on it and stored the one-hour reversal magic in the hourglass.

This step was particularly cumbersome and difficult, and Brian didn't dare to be distracted at all. Time passed minute by minute, and after about two hours, Brian put down the carving knife and wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Successful!" Brian picked up the small hourglass. It was a little duller than Brian's original one, not as glittering, but it was indeed a success.

"Then, I want to see, what is the final reward?"

"If there is really information about 'death', maybe there will be clues about that organization..."

Brian smiled and placed the small time turner on the circular stone platform.
