This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Leaving the principal's office, Vincent activated the time converter and went back to 5 hours ago.

In order to disgust Dumbledore, such efforts are worth it.

"It's so frustrating..."

Walking in the corridor on the eighth floor of the castle, he stopped and leaned his back against a large tapestry on the wall.

There are already countless Vincents in the Forbidden Forest, which can be considered safe. It seems that he will have to stay up all night tonight.

"No!" Vincent suddenly straightened up and walked quickly towards the stairwell.

He gained the friendship of the centaurs in his first year, so it should not be a problem to stay overnight in their tribe.

"No!"

Even in the middle of the night, the enthusiastic centaurs will definitely treat him well.

Let alone sleep, he will probably have to play until class is almost over.

Vincent turned around and walked back, but turned around again after a few steps.

You can't sleep in the Black Lake, and it's the same if you sleep by the lake.

But there is a Kraken in the lake, and it is as enthusiastic as the centaurs.

Go back to the tapestry and squat down.

"Hogsmeade!" Vincent stood up excitedly.

Aberforth and Nagini would be happy to take him in.

Unfortunately, it was night time now, and it would disturb their normal rest.

He came back again with a distressed face.

As soon as he squatted down, he heard a "click" sound.

Vincent raised his head and stared blankly at the door that appeared out of thin air on the wall in front of him.

Hogwarts has existed for nearly a thousand years, and of course there is more than just the legend of the secret chamber.

It is said that in a corner of the castle, there is a door that can solve all troubles.

There is no blue fat man's treasure bag inside, but it can be arranged into rooms that can solve different troubles according to different troubles.

If the legend is true, then there is a bedroom behind this door.

Vincent took a deep breath, stood up and walked forward slowly.

He stretched out his hand and gently turned the door handle.

The dim orange light leaked through the crack of the door, and a particularly pleasant fruity smell came.

A large bed, a night light, and aromatherapy, standard bedroom configuration.

Indescribable joy surged in Vincent's heart.

Finally, I can finally sleep well.

He closed the door and flew towards the soft and comfortable big bed.

"Wait..." After a short while of being happy, he became distressed again.

What is the way to get in?

There are so many students passing by every day, there must be countless times when they are troubled.

"Let's talk about it after waking up."

At worst, I can repeat the process just now. If I can get in once, I can get in a second time.

...

...

After dawn,

Gryffindor Girls' Dormitory.

Today is September 19th, Hermione's birthday.

Although there is no party like last year, she is in a good mood.

Just as she was about to get out of bed to wash, a large number of owls flew over.

"Meow--" Crookshanks jumped onto the windowsill and tried to pry the window open with his claws.

Hermione picked up a bag of biscuits on the bedside table, walked over to open the window, and put her index finger against her lips to signal them to be quiet.

The owls were very cooperative, put down the gifts, picked up the biscuits and flew away.

It seems that there are many, but there are only about twenty of them.

Hermione did not open the gifts immediately, but went to the bathroom first.

When she came back, her roommates were all awake.

Lavender opened the drawer and presented the gifts with Parvati.

"Happy birthday, Hermione."

"Thank you." Hermione put their gifts on the bed.

There was still plenty of time for the Herbology class at 9 o'clock.

When her roommates came back after washing up, she had already opened several gifts.

The big gift package of prank props was undoubtedly sent by Fred and George, and the thick class notes should be Percy's.

Ron also prepared a gift for her, although it was just a birthday card.

Harry's gift was a hardcover edition of "Practical Spells", which had 10 more spells than the ordinary edition.

Cedric's gift was the largest, a half-meter-high cat climbing frame.

Crookshanks liked it very much, and he climbed to the top and squatted immediately.

Lavender came quietly behind her, "It seems you are very popular~"

She was so shocked that she almost dropped a small, half-black and half-white gift box.

Hermione held it in her arms with a defensive look on her face, "No, they are all my friends."

"Oh." Parvati sat next to her, "We didn't disturb you?"

"Of course not." Hermione opened the gift box frankly.

Inside was a necklace, and the pendant was a cute little lion.

"Wow!" Lavender screamed, "This is too beautiful!"

The lion is the symbol of Gryffindor College, and jewelry is the first choice for girls.

Parvati secretly glanced at the note inside, and her expression was quite surprised.

"Vincent's gift? I didn't expect him to be so knowledgeable."

Hermione quickly put the note away, "He is planning to open an alchemy store, and of course he has investigated the preferences of different age groups."

"Okay." Lavender stopped teasing her,

"But since it was given by Vincent, it should not be just an ordinary necklace."

The apprentice of the legendary alchemist, maybe it is made of precious mithril.

Hermione was full of black lines, "This is a memory alloy, which has strong plasticity."

"What about this?" Parvati pointed to the cute little lion pendant.

Its luster is much brighter than the necklace, and it looks much better.

"This..." Hermione took the pendant in front of her and looked at it carefully.

It is lighter than ordinary metals, and there are no magic runes engraved on it.

An ordinary decoration?

Not to mention that they don't believe it, she doesn't believe it either.

"Take out the note quickly, it should have something written on it."

Lavender's intuition is very accurate, Vincent did give a brief introduction.

The main body of the necklace is memory alloy, but the little lion pendant is mixed with a little mithril.

With this metal with extremely high pro-magic properties, the whole necklace can be more easily shaped into other things.

As for how to fix the shape, Hermione needs to do it herself.

Lavender and Parvati are full of envy.

The appearance is perfect, and it can be shaped into other things at will.

Hermione is very hands-on, and there is no better gift than this.

"Vincent is so good to you."

"Yes, even mithril is mixed in."

Hermione put on the necklace and ignored the two jealous roommates.

The length is also suitable, just above the hourglass pendant of the time converter.

"Hmm?" Lavender reached out suspiciously and picked up the time converter she had just put back into her collar.

"This style of pendant... I always feel like I've seen it somewhere."

Hermione stuffed it back nervously.

Parvati's expression also became strange, "Now that you mention it, I think it looks familiar to me."

"Really?" Hermione tried to keep a smile on her little face,

"This kind of pendant is very common in Muggle stores, it's normal for you to feel familiar with it."

Lavender narrowed her eyes, "Then why do you wear two necklaces?"

"Is it strange?" Hermione suddenly became confident,

"Professor Trelawney wears more than a dozen, do you want to know why?"

"Uh..." Lavender was speechless.

After all, it's someone else's hobby, you can dislike it, but you must respect it.

"Sorry," she looked away from Hermione's collar, "maybe I made a mistake."

Parvati nodded gently, "Don't be angry, we are just curious about where we saw it."

"It's okay." Hermione secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly found an excuse for herself:

"I bought it on Oxford Street. The price is a little expensive, so I was so nervous just now."

"So that's it." Lavender and Parvati had no doubts.

At least on the surface.
