Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2568 Cheese Trap (4)

   "The Silence Bird you want." Pomona placed the cage on Snape's desk.

  It may have sensed something and flew around in the bird cage in panic. Unfortunately, the cage is very strong and it cannot escape.

   "Are you sad about it?" Snape asked.

  If it is Veritaserum or Potion of Memory, feathers are enough, but what he wants is the whole living bird, which means that he wants the last whine of the silence bird at the moment of death.

   "I shouldn't have told you that fairy tale about mermaids," Pomona said sadly.

   "I don't think a bedtime story is enough to affect me." He said coldly, "I'm doing an experiment about time travel."

   "What?" Pomona was surprised. "How can this be time travel?"

   "Have you ever heard Muggle music?" Severus asked.

  Pomona nodded.

   "My father used to have a portable tape recorder, that machine could hold two tapes, and the two tapes could be switched between each other, and they also had their own control system, which could be reversed and played."

It was the 70s, Pomona recalled, and the streets were full of “disco” youths in flared pants, permed hair, sunglasses, and a bulky tape recorder. The music was deliberately turned up loud.

Then Severus took out a golden egg. He turned the three-fingered bird's foot on the top of the golden egg. The golden egg opened, and you could see that there was a glass cavity inside. The medicine is poured in.

"On land, it would keep playing tape a on a loop, and in the water, it would keep playing tape b on a loop, and the bird spent most of its time in a cage, hearing the chirping of birds. , I think people prefer to hear mermaid songs than birds, unless he also wants to prove that augury songs don't make people insane." Severus squeezed the switch again and closed the golden eggs.

   "Oh, that's what you said requires a time travel experiment." Pomona suddenly realized "You have to locate the playback time on the 'tape'."

"It's not really time travel, the time shifter can send travelers' bodies and minds to the time and space they want to go, I'm just a reverse voice, and there's still a lot of things I don't understand about making time shifters, I It's just a simplified version."

   In Pomona's view, that's already a big deal.

   "The time changer that Granger handed back left an inscription, do you know who left it?" Severus asked suddenly.

   "Huh?" she asked in confusion.

   "You watched Minerva hand it over to her?"

   "You suspect that Albus had something to do with that time-turner?"

   "You're pretty smart, and you know he's the only one who can do it in this school." Severus smiled sarcastically.

  Pomona suspects Filivi will do too, but...

   "How do you know there was an inscription on the time-turner that Hermione returned?" Pomona asked.

"I asked the silent man at the Ministry of Magic, and he told me." Severus said calmly, "Because of this inscription, this time-turner is different from others, if Miss Granger keeps it herself. I hope she can correct this habit of graffiti."

   "When did you go to the Department of Mysteries?" Pomona shouted again.

   "I don't need to go, I have a social life." He said with a sullen face. "People talk when they socialize."

   Pomona did not speak.

"I read Saul Crocker's book and he said that just like the human mind can't understand time, so the time-turner can't understand the damage we can do by tampering with its laws, what I'm doing now is investigating you What damage did this experiment do?"

   Snape said it soundly, as if Pomona didn't know that he was actually so curious that he wanted to try a time experiment himself.

   "I've heard of his theory that he says that time travel can't exceed 5 hours, otherwise it will cause serious harm to the time traveler." Pomona replied.

   "That's an hour-reversal charm. The Ministry of Magic can make the spell go back up to 5 hours. This charm can be used to confuse time-turners and keep them stable."

   "Are you going to use it on this egg?" Pomona asked immediately.

   "I don't think anyone would leave it open for ten minutes." Severus smiled wickedly, showing his yellow teeth.

   Pomona wouldn't bet against him at all, but she was surprised that he came up with the idea through Tobias.

   Then she glanced at the still-throbbing Silence Bird, and felt sorry for it, as well as the Basilisk in the secret room.

   Life should hatch from the egg, but this egg takes an innocent life, and this is part of alchemy.

  In the process of alchemy, death represents the death of matter, and then it is reborn, just like the body of the Soundless Bird dies, but its voice is "resurrected", and this sound is not produced by the vocal cords.

  The vocal cords belong to the flesh. No matter how beautiful the body is, it will eventually rot and stink. This is also a part of "decomposition". It will be decomposed by microorganisms and finally return to the cycle of nature.

   "Let's bury it." Pomona looked at the Silence Bird and said, "You don't use its feathers as a veritase."

  No one spoke for a long time, and Pomona looked up and inadvertently met his eyes.

  Veritaserum is not effective for mentally ill people, because they can't tell what is illusory and what is real, and they will speak the hallucination as the truth and believe it.

   A sane person can resist the magic of Veritaserum without Occlumency if he is on guard.

   So Veritaserum is most useful for the unsuspecting, then there are those who are wounded or vulnerable, and those who lack magic power.

   He wasn't guarding against her just now, so she saw...

   "Cough cough."

  Pomona hurriedly retracted his gaze and saw Ravenclaw graduate Penello Clearwater standing at the door.

   "What's the matter with you?" Pomona asked in annoyance.

   "The principal is looking for you." Penello said.

   But when she saw Snape stand up, she added "Only you, Professor Sprout."

   "Only me?" Pomona asked.

   "I don't know, I'm just here to deliver the letter," said Cori Watt.

   "Where is he waiting for me?" Pomona asked.

   "That tower." Cory Watt said mysteriously, then turned away.

   "Which tower?" Pomona said inexplicably.

   "I think...I know where it is." Snape said slowly, looking into Pomona's eyes, his eyes were dull again.

===================================================== ========

  Although Harry felt like he had taken a trip with Hermione's entourage and nothing had changed, Sirius and Buckbeak were both alive.

Georgiana looked at Brick, who was like looking in the mirror with Sirius. If Sirius hadn't gone to the Department of Mysteries, I was thinking about matching her and Sirius's plan, and they got married and had children. The family would continue, even though Sirius was removed from the family tapestry by her pure-blooded mother, and Regulus' whereabouts were unknown.

In the previous experiment, someone caused 25 people to be "unborn" due to time travel. If Blake is really Blake's ancestor, and he does not marry the woman who should have been married according to the predetermined life, then the first Blake will not be. There will be, and the entire Black family will be gone.

The Ministry of Magic's time-turner can only be used by one person, assuming that Albus does the "hands and feet" as Severus thinks, and then Harry can travel with him. Hermione is smart, but she can't be awake. escort, and Harry, who can be called God's escort, can't apply for a time converter.

   What kind of damage did their travels cause? She didn't know if Severus had researched it, but she thought there was one right in front of her eyes.

   She felt strange that everything she encountered had something to do with dogs.

  So it was because of this?
