This Hogwarts isn't normal.

No matter how fast Fred and George ran, Vincent was always not far behind them.

According to Murphy's Law:

Nothing is as simple as it seems;

Everything will take longer than expected;

What can go wrong will always go wrong.

Bad things really happened, and the twins did not return the same way.

They slowed down and smelled a faint aroma that sounded like barbecue.

They had trained for an afternoon and came out without dinner, and they were running so fast just now.

"Goo--" They were so hungry that their stomachs were growling.

They looked in the direction of the smell.

There was a faint light there, probably students who sneaked out for a picnic.

But after a few steps, they suddenly smelled a disgusting stench that sounded like a big dung egg.

Fred and George quickly pinched their noses,

"Merlin's big pants! Who is so heavy-tasting!"

"Too disgusting, let's go back quickly."

A new Hogwarts campus legend was born.

Maybe it was too disgusting to dip the barbecue in that stuff, so they turned around and walked back quickly.

In the dark, Vincent put away the broken eggshells and took off the gas mask on his face. He became nervous again before he could even breathe a sigh of relief.

That direction...

Although the distance is far, if we continue to walk, we will definitely see the light again.

Hermione, who caught up with him, slowed down, patted his shoulder with her hand, and lowered her voice:

"According to what you said, in addition to stopping them, we must not let those of us in the other time loops notice anything.

She hesitated, "The longer it takes, the more dangerous it is. In fact, we have a better way. "

Vincent frowned, "A better way..."

There is a past self in every time loop, and they are all unique and know each other.

The changed past is just what you see now and think is the past.

The real past has not changed, and what should be considered is how to keep the secret of the time converter.

Gamble on luck?

Let Fred and George wander around?

Or guide them away from the safe point?

Once is a coincidence, twice is accidental.

Instead of trying to stop it, it is better to take the initiative to intervene and decide the uncertain future.

"Huh--" After Hermione's reminder, Vincent was no longer so nervous.

He drew out his wand, "Thank you, I understand what you mean."

The light on the tip of the wand illuminated the surroundings, and the two walked forward quickly without hesitation.

Fred and George felt the movement behind them, stopped and looked back at the two.

"No way, we have run so far."

Seeing that the twins were about to run, the two quickly stood still.

"Wait, let's go back together. "

Fred and George were a little skeptical at first, but they walked in front quickly, looking like they were in a hurry.

There's a problem.

They were in a hurry, probably because they were guilty.

"Tsk tsk tsk~" The twins ran up and squeezed between the two.

"Don't worry~ We will keep it a secret for you two~"

"Huh?" Vincent's face was full of question marks, "Secret? What secret?"

Hermione became nervous again.

Ron once said that their eldest brother Bill had obtained 12 certificates, and he might have obtained the qualification to use the time converter.

Did they find out?

Well - if you find out, just find out. As long as you don't tell everyone, there shouldn't be any big problem.

"Hehe~" George stretched out his hand and hooked Vincent's neck,

"You sneaked into the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night, is it really just to test the alchemical arm?"

"What! ? "Hermione's whole body was tense, and her reaction was particularly excited.

Fred looked at Vincent with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

Don't say there is nothing now, even if there is, it won't be done secretly.

Hermione pushed away the twins who came over shyly and angrily.

"I have a question, how did you know we were in the Forbidden Forest?"

The situation is a bit bad.

"It was Neville who said you were outside the castle."

"Oh." Hermione lowered her head, making it difficult to see her expression,

"Then why don't you go to the Black Lake?"

Fred and George pouted.

If you want to do something shady, the Forbidden Forest with lush trees is of course the first choice.

The Black Lake is bare, with nothing to cover it.

Hermione suddenly raised her head and stared into their eyes, "Don't you think the alchemy factory is a secret?

What if Malfoy and others find out and copy it like Gwent? "

Fred and George lowered their heads as she stared at them.

It was just a joke, why are you so serious?

"Well, we haven't had dinner yet~"

The twins ran towards the castle with a grin.

Vincent gave Hermione a thumbs up.

Not bad, the naughty Weiss twins were cured with just a few words, it seems that the rumors on campus are not groundless.

"What rumors?"

"Little McGregor."

Hermione raised her little fist unhappily and hit his arm lightly,

"If you hadn't rushed to complete the experiment, we wouldn't have been so close to being exposed tonight."

Vincent covered the place where she hit him, pretending to be in pain and taking a deep breath,

"It's okay, you continue, I can bear it."

Hermione lowered her hands with a smile.

She was also responsible for this matter, there was no need to pursue it further.

Besides, she didn't really want to care about anything.

Seeing her performance, Vincent was completely relieved.

"Will you continue later?"

"Of course."

...

On October 16,

Lavender's most feared thing happened.

After she received the letter from home early in the morning, she screamed after reading it for a few seconds, waking up her roommates.

Hermione, who had just slept for a short time, sat up in a daze,

"What happened?"

Lavender, with red eyes, cried "wow", and Hermione and Parvati, who were completely sleepy, tried to comfort her for a long time but to no avail.

It was impossible to sleep a little longer, but fortunately today was Saturday.

I joked that the prophecy was false last night, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this at dawn.

Lavender took the tissues they handed over in agony,

"The prophecy came true, I shouldn't have made that joke last night..."

She wiped it a little, and then continued to cry.

Hermione picked up the letter wet with tears.

Lavender's hobbies were the same as other little girls. She liked all the cute things in the world.

She raised a rabbit during this summer vacation. Her name was Binky.

Hermione remembered hearing about it.

If it wasn't a baby bunny, there would be one more cute pet in their dormitory.

Unfortunately, something unfortunate happened.

Just the day before yesterday, a fox broke into Lavender's house and brutally bit Binky to death.

[By the way, the thing you fear most will happen on Friday, October 16th...]

Today is Saturday. Although the letter was sent yesterday, the incident happened the day before yesterday.

"The prophecy did not come true." Hermione brushed Lavender's back with her hand.

"Binch's death has nothing to do with the joke you made last night. Look, the date doesn't match."

Lavender stopped crying and looked at the calendar on the bedside table.

It really doesn't match. Could it be because the owl delivered the letter late?
