Retirement from Hogwarts

"Is this what you call complete perfection?" Under the empty purple moon, Hermione's shout came from a mass of unclear debris, breaking the eternal tranquility here.

"I didn't expect that the distance between here and that world would be so close, so I installed an extra stage rocket." As Jack's quibbling voice sounded, the wreckage began to gradually return to its original shape under the power of the restoration spell. "Besides, aren't we okay?"

"Is everything okay?" Hermione raised her voice dissatisfied as the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths God-avoidance Shuttle was restored to new condition. "Do you know that my heart almost jumped out when I hit the ground at such a fast speed?"

"Look at Brünnhilde, isn't she having a lot of fun?" Jack untied Brünnhilde, who had been poking around here and there excitedly ever since she got on the spaceship, from the seat where she was fastened. said. "And you have to have confidence in my products. No matter which product of our company, it can ensure the safety of all passengers who follow the safety manual after a crash at the highest speed, not to mention that I just slowed down."

Hermione snorted dissatisfied at Jack who didn't know how to come over and comfort her but choked him instead, then stamped his feet and walked out of the cabin door first.

Jack couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Hermione's actions, and then he immediately understood what he had done wrong and hurriedly chased her out.

"What do you think happened here? Why are there so many small white spots on the land here? Why do I feel so sad since I set foot here?" He squatted on the ground and touched the spots that seemed to have been painted with ink. Hermione, who turned into a purple earth, asked Jack who followed behind her.

"Probably a war, right? These purple grounds are somewhat like the color of the devil's bloody night, but there are some differences in depth. As for those day shifts, they are probably the original color of the land here." Jack said uncertainly. "The castle mentioned on the notice board is over there. I believe the answer to all this should be found somewhere."

Hermione nodded after listening to Jack's words, and then walked with him onto the universal all-terrain vehicle attached to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Shuttle and drove towards the castle that they had flown past before making an emergency landing.Not long after, a desolate, mottled Hogwarts full of war scars appeared in front of them.

After the all-terrain vehicle drove into their usual area of ​​​​Hogwarts, Hermione looked at the collapsed towers, broken sculptures, armor fragments and golem stumps everywhere in Hogwarts and couldn't help but ask: "Where is this? What happened?"

"This is the historical Hogwarts." Just when Jack stopped the car and was about to walk into the castle with Hermione to take a look, a disembodied voice came from inside. "The state you see now is the Hogwarts that was destroyed during the First Demonic War."

"Hogwarts was destroyed in the First Demonic War?" Hermione asked in disbelief after hearing this statement. "Didn't we win the result of that war? This Hogwarts doesn't look like a victory."

"That victory was because we experienced countless defeats." The owner of the voice slowly walked out of the ruined castle, accompanied by a sound of footsteps approaching from far away.

p; "Ms. Ravenclaw?" Although the two of them had already guessed it, they still shouted in surprise when Ravenclaw herself appeared in front of them.

"Nice to meet you, my heirs." Ravenclaw nodded to them, and then led them into the castle. "During the First Demon War, Hogwarts actually failed to withstand the demons' raid. The unprepared Hogwarts was slaughtered by the demons' sudden attack. Even the four of us were killed. No exception."

"But luckily, I awakened my root ability when I was killed by that demon and returned to the day before the war started." Ravenclaw took them to visit the dilapidated castle and talked to them. they said. "And this is the Hogwarts in the timeline that was abandoned after I went back in time."

"Why did you lose your crown if you had this ability?" Hermione asked confused after hearing her explanation.

"Although this ability is indeed powerful, it has a fatal flaw. Every time it is activated, I will lose one of my own specialized magics and the corresponding magic pool. So later I developed the method of becoming a great mage. After that, you can add unlimited magic pools and the crown meditation method that specializes in magic. However, although this ability has brought us victory again and again, Helena stole it because she didn’t want me to suffer the pain of the magic pool being shattered. My crown. In the end, having lost the ability to go back in time, I could only watch Slytherin leave the Hogwarts we jointly created because of the dispute with Gryffindor, and watch Gryffindor in order to protect student jumped into the abyss and watched Hufflepuff haggard and die because of the demonic ingredients created by the enemy." Ravenclaw said sadly.

"But you tried your best in the beginning, didn't you? I don't blame you." Hermione looked at the sad dean and couldn't help comforting her.

"Ha, little girl. No need to comfort me. I won't be hit by this thing." Ravenclaw shook his head to readjust his emotions, and then took out a crystal with silvery white smoke floating in it. The ball was handed to Hermione. "Crisis has once again enveloped Hogwarts, and this time it's up to you, little girl."

"Rely on me?" Hermione asked, pointing to herself in disbelief. "But my magic isn't even as good as Jack's."

"This has nothing to do with the level of magic. Only the smartest people can take the time to recall this ability." Ravenclaw winked at Hermione. "You can't improve your abilities much in one day. But as long as you are smart enough, you will always find a way to win from repeated failures. Don't you think so?"

"That's right, Hermione, just accept it." Jack looked at the Ravenclaw who was motioning for him to help persuade Hermione and quickly pushed back the crystal ball that Hermione handed him, while making a fool of himself. "This thing is not suitable for a guy like me who likes to be reckless."

"Okay then." Hermione thought for a moment and nodded. "But Ms. Ravenclaw, haven't you already been here...why are you here?"

"This involves a very profound issue." She said as she took out a book from her space ring and handed it to Hermione. "You'll understand when you study this book thoroughly."
