[HP] Elephant of Time

With a hint of doubt.

She is not a first-year student at Hogwarts. She works in the Ministry of Magic and is expected to become the youngest female minister of the Ministry of Magic. She can easily distinguish between people's panic and lies, as well as hidden secrets that cannot be seen hasty gesture.

She decided to at least inform Headmaster McGonagall before leaving Hogwarts.

However, just when she was about to sit down and start searching for information, there was a figure shaking in the corner.

Then she saw the scariest professor in her student days who came back from the dead as if taking off her invisibility cloak, her cold and pale attitude almost made her scream.

"Professor Snape!"

Snape cast a Silencing Charm on the surrounding area before removing the invisibility spell.

—Should it be said that he knows these brainless Gryffindors better?Even the most intelligent one can't change the nature of a lion!

Sensing keenly that Miss Know-it-all was going to spend the night in the Hogwarts library, Snape had to give up his plan of not disturbing anyone, let alone seeing Miss Know-it-all's bibliography.Apparently Miss Hermione Granger... oh no, it's Ms Weasley now... working on some time-related magical subject.

The potions master didn't even need to guess to know who had given her the subject.

—Aside from our Harry, the not-so-brainy-savior Potter, is there any other option?

"I thought five years would make people more stable. It seems that marrying a Weasley doesn't make you much progress in this regard, Mrs. Weasley. I'm no longer a professor at Hogwarts , can you please stop using that tiresome title for me?"

"Uh...Mr. Snape?" Hermione tentatively modified the address - she hadn't tried calling it that in front of the Lord.

She got an almost veiled nod.

Hermione exhaled softly.

No matter how much time passed, the awkward Slytherin teacher would always make her, and them, feel like 11 again for a split second.

Then she deeply felt the feeling that Professor Olstein had just had nothing to say to her.

What was she going to tell her ex-Potions master in the library?

It is of course impossible to sell Harry directly... Although according to Hermione's speculation, the double agent must have guessed the secret the first time he saw her, but he directly asked the Potion Master Obviously not a good choice.

Fortunately, Snape wasn't going to give Hermione a choice.

"Well, almost all the books on time and magic research in the Hogwarts library have been dug up?" Snape said with a half-smile, "I think Mrs. Weasley should be more concerned about her partner than about some trivial matters." Find out."

Hermione blinked, the magic candle flickered in the darkness, her bright yellow side reflected herself, and the former master of potions stood in a corner where the light of the fire couldn't reach.The darkness intensifies his darkness and terror, but also emphasizes his loneliness.For a moment, the bloody scene in the Screaming Shack appeared before her eyes - no matter how Severus Snape survived the snake venom and serious injuries, it must have been a near-death danger.

Courage suddenly returned to her.

"I guess your business is less of a 'chore' to Harry, as much as you make me prioritize Harry's."

The expression on Snape's face became a little dangerous, but even though the Gryffindor lioness trembled her lips and clenched her fists, she still looked straight into those dark eyes that seemed to come back from the end of death without hesitation.

"Very well, Mrs. Weasley." Snape sneered, lowering his voice like a snake retreating before attacking, "Let me hear the nonsense about Harry Potter, What did you find?"

Hermione swallowed - by God, this was the first time Professor Snape allowed her to answer a question!She thought of countless Potions classes and some Defense Against the Dark Arts classes later, no matter how high her hand was raised, the petty head of Slytherin would never see it!

Fight!Hermione cried out inwardly, taking a deep breath.

"I extracted some information from what Harry told me - the Time Turner, the Kalachakra Tree, the Blue Flamingo, the Tree Elves, and the Karse family. I first traced the history of the Karse family at the British Library, It's well-known in Muggle history, very well-known, so it's not hard to look it up. It's very interesting that there's very little written history of it, but the unofficial anecdotes often refer to the Karse family - 'as wizards As if time can be condensed into an image and manipulated in the palm of your hand' is a common comment about them. Most Muggles take that to refer to the excellent clocks of the Kars family, but we are real wizards ourselves, so... I guess The Kars family should be a family that masters time magic, at least they should have the magic technology to make time converters."

Snape was noncommittal about this, even if he didn't look for information, he could easily infer this from what Harry Potter now knew.

"Then there is the time ring tree and the blue fire bird. I have never seen these two names in any kind of magic material, until I realized that they may not be original magic materials, but a processed product or a kind of power."

There was a hint of surprise in Snape's eyes now.

Today's wizards generally only think of natural native species when they hear materials, especially wand materials, not to mention the names of these two materials are confusing enough.Even Malfoy would probably think it was some kind of extinct magical creature here.Miss Know-it-all who can think of processed products or power shows that Gryffindor is really well-read and knowledgeable.

—Snape certainly didn't think it was her own idea.From the perspective of a master of potions, Miss Know-It-All is indeed rich in knowledge and rigorous in her attitude, but potions require rigorousness does not mean that only rigorousness is required. This Miss Gryffindor is far inferior to her innovation in potions. Excellence in the application of innovation - she and Harry Potter are both, obviously the savior can't even be rigorous.

The Weasley twins might be more to the potions master's liking than the golden trio.

Not noticing the momentary drift of the potions master's mind, Hermione continued with her report.

"I found some information about these materials in the three books "Black Alchemy", "The Splendor of Ancient Mageweaves", and "Looking into the Abyss"."

"You are much more daring than I imagined. I thought Mrs. Weasley was the one with more brains among the Gryffindor gold trio. Could it be that your IQ has been wiped out by the title of war hero?" Yet?"

Snape couldn't help snapping.

These three books belong to the books that have notes from teachers and are not allowed to be borrowed by students. Anyone, even professors, need the permission of the principal to read them.Especially the last book "Looking into the Abyss", the Hogwarts library is just a torn page, the content in it all involves the untouchable secrets of the magic world, and the Horcruxes are not even ranked in it!

Snape failed to get Dumbledore's permission when he first entered Hogwarts as a professor, and Dumbledore did not open his permission until a few years later.

— Minerva McGonagall is so old-fashioned!

"Professor, I know its danger." Hermione said sternly, "Just like I know the danger of Time-Turner, I only read the relevant part of the time data, and made an unbreakable oath with the principal to ensure that I only Will apply that knowledge to questions about you and Harry."

"Unbreakable vows are sometimes not so unbreakable."

Not to mention the loopholes in the terms of the oath itself, as far as Snape knew there were at least three ways to escape the unbreakable oath.

What made him kill Dumbledore was never because of his oath with the Malfoy family.

Hermione nodded: "Just as this kind of knowledge doesn't only exist in Hogwarts."

There are no eternal secrets in this world.

Snape's silence was a tentative agreement with Hermione's statement.

"The Kalachakra tree is a magical phenomenon. It is said that when the rifts of time appear frequently in a certain place, the nearby trees—especially the old trees, may have the magic power of time magic. It will dissipate, and if it is broken off by a wizard before it dissipates, and made into a material through alchemy, it will be a 'branch of the Kalachakra tree'."

"I didn't find any specific information about the Blue Firebird, only vaguely mentioned that it is a kind of power, the power of life and timing. I want to re-read some chatter about time magic to see if there are any other clues." She rushed He gestured to the pile of books on the table.

Even Severus Snape couldn't help but twitch his lips.

——That was a big project.

The author has something to say:

in the book

Hermione flipped through the pile of books that were taller than her in front of her. She couldn't calm down. She peeked into the depths of the library from time to time. She really wanted to know what the former professor was doing, but because Snape was leaving Had to stay in the seat because of the previous warning glance.

Although the master of potions said that "the old headmaster who has become a portrait and buzzed like a mother bee recommended a wonderful book that he had to read".But as a bookworm, how could Hermione not know that there is a "legendary bookshelf" in the deepest part of the Hogwarts library!

No one knows where it is, and even the headmaster has no right to interfere with the books there, because the book will choose the person who can read it, just like the wand chooses the owner!

— Tsk!this kind
