This Hogwarts isn't normal.

When the applause in the auditorium gradually subsided, several professors cast approving glances at Vincent.

Especially Lupin.

His grateful eyes were like a sharp knife covered with poison, stabbing Snape's big face twitching even more.

"As for our second new professor--" Dumbledore met the narrow black eyes,

"I'm sorry that our Care of Magical Creatures teacher Professor Kettleburn retired at the end of last semester in order to have more time to enjoy his old arms and legs."

Dumbledore hung his head very sadly.

Not long after, he looked at the students again, "Parting is always full of sadness...

However, I announce here that the person who will fill the vacancy is none other than Rubeus Hagrid!

In addition to serving as the professor of Care of Magical Creatures, he will continue to serve as the school's gamekeeper."

Hagrid, who was next to Snape, had some tears in his eyes.

He had been wronged for 50 years, a full half century.

Now he has not only been vindicated, but also become a formal professor at Hogwarts.

The students applauded.

If the textbooks were not books that bite people, I believe it would be more enthusiastic.

Hagrid wiped his eyes with the tablecloth.

In this situation, Dumbledore couldn't help but secretly wipe the corners of his eyes.

He slowed down a little, "There are so many important things, let's have a feast!"

The plates and high-heeled wine glasses on the five long tables were suddenly full of food and drinks.

Compared with the usual dinner, the banquet must be much more sumptuous.

Traditional British dishes are indispensable, but new international delicacies such as French fried foie gras, German Regenburg sausages, Spanish paella, and Turkish rotisserie have been added.

The hungry students picked up their knives and forks and ate big pieces.

After the sound of tableware colliding, bursts of laughter rang out in the auditorium.

There were praises for the food, arrangements for the new semester, and night tours in the evening.

"We can work together inside and outside to give them a full surprise!"

"It's just the first day of school, isn't this a bad idea?"

"That's why it's called a surprise~"

Vincent watched the twins pick up their plates and walk back, speeding up his meal.

If you use the time converter correctly, it's not impossible for one day to become two days.

As long as you are brave enough, you can even think about a few days.

"I'm full!"

Neville looked at the empty plate next to him blankly.

The speed of eating has been refreshed again.

Vincent returned to the dormitory to put away his luggage first, then picked up the time converter and looked at it carefully.

The necklace is very delicately made, and the texture is very similar to the fine gold forged by the goblins.

The pendant feels the same, and the faint silver luster seems to be mixed with a small amount of mithril.

The sand in the hourglass is fixed, and a long string of small words is engraved in the outermost ring:

[The present is the past, the past is the future, and the future is the present——

Don't try to change what has happened. Time is ruthless and cruel, please remember.

The wizard who made or used it must have tried to change the past, so he left this warning.

Novikov's self-consistency principle is correct. The world has only one timeline.

In other words, the time converter can only solve trivial time management problems, and cannot be used to solve bigger or more important things.

Vincent, a newcomer in time management, put on the necklace and turned the outermost golden ring of the pendant.

"Five hours ago, it should be when the Dementors just arrived on the train..."

One circle, two circles.

Turn it five times and let go, and the pendant floats in the air as if it was frozen.

The sand in the middle hourglass and the outermost ring began to slowly move backwards.

Very suddenly, Vincent felt something pulling him back.

Something seemed to be knocking in his ears, and he couldn't even hear his own screams.

The scene in front of him passed by quickly, from the stairwell to the school auditorium and then to the carriage.

There were only scenes, no living creatures.

He raised his head with a painful expression and looked at the dark clouds.

Raindrops passed through his body and dripped on the soil of the Scottish Highlands.

Looking down, the red Hogwarts Express was coming towards him.

A huge force pulled him up and flew over the top of each carriage.

The conclusion of the Department of Mysteries was also correct. It would definitely be more uncomfortable to go back more than 5 hours.

Vincent finally landed on the top of the fourth to last carriage, and everything around him began to slow down.

When he saw several black shadows in the distance, the pendant that was frozen in the air fell down as if it had lost its support.

"No wonder it has to be made into a necklace..."

As soon as the voice fell, the raindrops stopped passing through his body.

Standing under the heavy rain, it felt great.

Vincent inexplicably remembered the rain that led him to this world.

If there was an umbrella and thunder, the sense of sight would definitely be stronger.

Looking down at the roof of the car, it was compartment W at that time.

The rain was too heavy, just like being soaked in water.

"Waterproof and moisture-proof--" The transparent film covering his body blocked the rain.

Vincent sat down and lifted his wet hair.

The situation was not too bad, just wait patiently for an hour or so.

He once again carefully looked at the time converter hanging on his chest.

Only fine gold and mithril could carry such an extremely unstable magic.

These two are the most stable metals known, but the pseudo-Uru metal recovered by Nico may be a better choice.

"It should be in a big country in Asia..."

With the time turner, both the alchemy factory and academic problems can be perfectly solved.

Vincent, who was planning his arrangements for the new semester, did not notice the black shadow wandering in the heavy rain floating over.

When he saw a big, rotten face with no features, he was already surrounded by dementors.

The fist instantly passed through the big face.

I don't feel cold, it's like breathing air.

"You're not here to find me, are you?"

The Dementor didn't answer, but opened the dark hole in his face.

Nothing happened.

Vincent retracted his fist boredly.

Scared but unable to be frightened, sucked but unable to hold back.

The dark hole opened wider and wider, almost occupying the entire big face.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..."

There are 13 dementors in total, what a grand display!

After sighing a little, he went on to plan the arrangements for the new semester.

One minute passed,

Five minutes passed...

Perhaps knowing that it was ineffective, the dementors closed the hole on his face and began to rotate around the top of his head.

The breath of despair eroded the rain, forming small ice particles and falling on the roof of the next carriage.

If you go fast enough, you might actually get hit.

"Armor protection——"

The alder tip forms a light blue barrier.

Vincent held the "umbrella" and rolled his eyes at the dementors that turned into a circle of afterimages.

"Don't make trouble, you will suffer later."

Is this the scariest dark creature?

There is no entity, and there is no way to touch him.
