The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

Another day with no results.

Emma Grossman is like a perfectly normal student on campus. She has good friends, plays both sides, walks on the front line against Gryffindor, and plays noisy games with Gryffindor every day.

, the friends who followed her did not care about the differences in backgrounds, and regarded her as the boss. In terms of study, Emma was like Hermione who was a grade below her, always ranking first.

This made Hermione question even more - was everything Emma did forced by DeWitt?

The further she investigates, the more complicated Hermione's mood becomes. The more perfect she sees Hogwarts now, the less confident she becomes - is it really worth it?

Without DeWitt, it was Harry who foiled Professor Quirrell's conspiracy in the first grade. In the second grade, it was Emma who cracked the location of the Chamber of Secrets, and Harry defeated the resurrected Voldemort.

Without DeWitt, the world is still developing in a good way. Horrible crises will have new people to turn the tide. Crises that DeWitt cannot save will have no sign of happening. If there is no A2, if A2 is not around

, even if A2 is here, Hermione feels more and more like a lonely ghost, fighting for someone who does not exist.

"Why did DeWitt give you such a name?" Hermione asked A2. She was actually reminding herself in another way that DeWitt was real.

"I am an upgraded version of A1," A2 said solemnly, "so I am called A2."

Hermione laughed twice. She felt that she must have been crazy to ask a dummy, so she gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask and worriedly returned to the Forbidden Forest before the effect of the invisibility potion wore off.

Now she has a temporary solution that is not a solution, which is to monitor Emma Grossman until the day when the disaster occurs.

The rest should be waiting, but when Hermione stopped, it didn't mean that everyone stopped. When she returned to her "base" at night, Dumbledore was already standing there.

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening, but Dumbledore still looked very energetic. Seeing this respectable old man again, Hermione felt very complicated. She thought of Dumbledore who disappeared with Emma but never appeared again.

Bullido, suddenly my nose felt a little sore.

"Miss Granger," Dumbledore said with a smile, "If nothing else happens, you should be resting in the dormitory now instead of living in the Forbidden Forest for so many days."

Hermione opened her mouth, not knowing where to start.

Dumbledore said calmly: "I'm also pretty sure that every student in Hogwarts is in their own bed. It seems that you used a certain prop illegally, but I think there must be some reason why you had to do it."

, why don’t you come and sit in my office, we’ll walk there, and you can think about it carefully, and your...companions?”

Thinking about what to say, Hermione considered, thinking about whether to say it or not.

But as soon as she remembered what DeWitt once said - he said that there was almost nothing in Hogwarts that Dumbledore didn't know, Hermione made up her mind, and Dumbledore was not a bad person, and there was nothing he couldn't say.<

/p>

So Hermione sat in the principal's office and recounted everything that happened that day.

Dumbledore nodded occasionally without changing his expression. When Hermione finished speaking and took a sip of tea to rest, he said: "In my memory, there is no student named DeWitt."

Hermione stayed for a moment, then said disappointedly: "Everyone is like this..."

Dumbledore comforted Hermione: "There are some magics that even I can't detect. You should believe in yourself and then tell me what you know about the past."

When Hermione finished speaking, Dumbledore was silent. He thought deeply and finally said: "Time is a very mysterious thing. Judging from the cases from ancient times to the present, all those who want to try to play with time end up losing more."

Something, I have to criticize you, Miss Granger, if something happened, that means everything should be like that, and the time turner cannot change what has happened."

"I know, Professor," Hermione said haggardly: "But I just don't want to give up, so many people...are dead..."

Dumbledore couldn't bear to say any more harsh words. Just like Hermione wanted to save people, he didn't want to see Hermione completely lost, but nothing was rushed. So he said: "Go to sleep first, you are too tired."

, I will investigate while you are resting. If a person existed, he would definitely leave traces, but if there is really no trace at all..."

Dumbledore didn't say any more. He wanted to wait until Hermione had rested before communicating again.

Tonight, Hermione finally had a bed to sleep in. A2 watched over her by the bed and watched Hermione all night long.

When she woke up the next day, Hermione didn't run around. At noon, Dumbledore personally came and took her to the principal's office.

Compared with last night, there were many more books and paper documents and reports in the office. Dumbledore was sitting behind the desk, with the paper almost covering his entire body.

"Sit down." He said: "There are a lot of reports recorded by the Ministry of Magic alone. I spent some time reading them. I am getting old and my energy is not as strong as before. If you are interested and think you have enough time, you can

Read it again, maybe I will miss something."

"Look," Dumbledore said: "The world of children is different from the world of adults. You may be able to find the key."

The report contained a variety of experiments, and claimed in the article that most of them were conducted by dark wizards using Muggles. These dark wizards were also punished by the Ministry of Magic afterwards, and everything was reasonable and legal.

"It is impossible to tell when the power of time began to be used by wizards," Dumbledore said. "The origin is not recorded. All that can be found is one case after another, and the rules summarized by the cases. I suggest

——You start reading from this one."

The first report recorded the case of a Muggle named Tessa Capudle who used a time-turner many times to travel back in time in order to buy stocks. I don’t know whether he got rich in the end, but he did.

He jumped off the building and died. According to the members of the team that investigated the reversal of accidental magical events in the past, they rescued one, but soon another Tessa Kapdel jumped off the building. After the one who jumped off the building died, he was

The rescued Tessa Capder died at the same moment without warning. The body that jumped from the building was collected by his family, and the body that died suddenly was taken away by the Ministry of Magic for study. The conclusion was that there was no trace, as in the figure.

Like a death curse.

The same event happened more than once, and the ones put together with this report all belong to the same category, and they went back to the past again.

Hermione then read the second copy.
