This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

‘What is this for? ’

Hermione felt a little guilty - but Andrew, who was leading the way, didn't seem to have any intention of letting others hear, and kept going straight without stopping.

This way of walking without communicating made her extremely flustered - but in a deserted corner, Taylor, who was leading the way, stopped.

"It's almost here," Andrew looked around, "The professor asked us to go over there and not disturb others."

"professor?"

Hermione was stunned for a moment, then realized who the professor Andrew was referring to was.

Undoubtedly, that was Professor Minerva McGonagall, Head of Gryffindor and Deputy Headmistress of the school.

‘It’s just a scam to sign a book and borrow it, am I going to be expelled? ’

She was indeed a little scared now - after all, the person in front of her had indeed had the experience of driving people out of school.

But it didn't look like she was going to be expelled, and her grades last year were pretty good. The most she could do was to be put in solitary confinement, so expelling her was really too much.

But the other party had no intention of continuing the communication after a brief explanation - this made it impossible for her to obtain more information to judge what kind of punishment the school would impose on her.

The long journey and the complete lack of communication made Hermione feel depressed, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Fortunately, no matter how long the journey is, there is an end. After they walked around a flight of stairs, they finally arrived at the door of Professor McGonagall's office.

"Dong dong dong."

Hermione felt her heartbeat connected with the knock on the door - she originally thought she was ready, but she wasn't.

"Please come in."

The professor's voice came, and Taylor opened the door without hesitation, as casually as if he was entering not the professor's office, but the door of the library.

"Professor, I brought someone here."

That Taylor's voice sounded - and the professor's serious voice responded to him.

"very good."

Hermione couldn't help but raise her head, but what greeted her was Professor McGonagall's scrutinizing and stern gaze, which did not show any relief.

‘It’s over. ’

She gave up resistance.

"Sorry, Professor, it's me..."

"You must understand that this is a..."

As soon as Hermione said it, she was stunned - Professor McGonagall and Andrew on the side were also stunned.

‘No, I just came to bring you to the office. What are you apologizing for? ’

Andrew looked at Hermione who was apologizing for some reason and the professor who was interrupted, and he was also lost in thought.

But it was obvious that the professor was more calm, and she maintained a careful gaze on Granger.

Such a suppressive look made Hermione continue, "I used the loan slip to get Professor Lockhart's signature to get the books in the restricted area. I'm sorry."

? ? ?

Andrew's eyes widened.

No, are you Gryffindors so brave?

And Lockhart - shame on the professor, didn't you even look at what was on top when you signed? Why don't you sign a check from Gringotts?

Professor McGonagall was obviously frightened by the students from her own college. It wasn't a big deal, but Granger was actually led astray by Potter and Weasley!

But she soon got used to it - Granger was Gryffindor after all. "That was Professor Lockhart's mistake. The matter is still under investigation and judgment, and Taylor is still reading the corresponding school regulations."

Professor McGonagall decided to forgive Miss Granger - after all, she was Gryffindor. Such a thing was not too bizarre, and a normal professor would not make such a serious mistake. This was actually the school's fault.

"Yes, but the problem is not very serious." Andrew opened his eyes and lied. "Although it is a bit complicated, it is just a matter of how many times and how long."

"It's another thing to ask you to come this time," the professor nodded. "It should have been given to you directly, but because of the investigation, we had to add another assessment - you passed, Gran. Miss Jie.”

As the professor spoke, he took out two small boxes from the drawer and pushed them to the two of them.

"Before you open it, you must promise me that you will use it for the right purpose and not exceed four hours a day."

No more than four hours?

Andrew was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something - No, professor, you are kidding!

Seeing Andrew's expression become surprised, Professor McGonagall's expression softened, "Yes, it's what you think, Taylor."

"Time turner, Dumbledore's kind?"

Miss Granger exclaimed, "I thought that book was an exaggeration!"

"Maybe," Professor McGonagall said uncertainly, "but the time turner provided by the Ministry of Magic can only support time reversal for five hours at most, and doing so will greatly reduce its use time and make it earlier. into dormancy.”

"Hibernation period?"

"Of course, during the dormant period, it will be charged over time and cannot be used until it is restored - this is something from the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. The information it can give is limited, and the rest is confidential even within the Ministry of Magic."

"But Dumbledore," Hermione said, obviously going through a huge brainstorm, and it was impossible to know how she digested these things, "so Dumbledore has the same abilities as the Department of Mysteries?"

"Unfortunately, I don't know."

The professor obviously had doubts, but Dumbledore obviously did not give a clear response, "Don't think about that. Your time turner can only be used for learning. Miss Granger, you must promise again that you can only use it for learning." , and I must solemnly warn that once two of you meet, the other will attack you without hesitation, and no matter which one of you falls, there will be serious consequences."

‘Only five hours? ’

Andrew looked at the unopened box in front of him - the limitations of this thing are not generally large.

But even under the heavy restrictions, it is still the most terrifying thing in the entire magical world - so many things can be changed in five hours.

"You cannot rewrite the future, let alone study this thing apart - magic involving time is the most dangerous thing in the entire magical world, Taylor!"

Professor McGonagall looked at Andrew and seemed to determine what he was thinking at a glance.

"It is absolutely forbidden to apply any magic to the time turner itself! Not even for research, it is absolutely forbidden!"

"I'll keep that in mind, Professor!"

Andrew responded extremely seriously - time is too dangerous, and the danger of transfiguration is simply a piece of cake in front of it.

"One last warning, it is forbidden to mention the existence of this thing to anyone. Although there are a lot of legends in the wizarding world, this thing cannot be made public."

…

'Fortunately, I boasted a lot, otherwise I might have been involved in a legend investigation by the Aurors. ’

Andrew was filled with joy at this moment.

"Very well, that's all, but every one of them must be remembered firmly."

Seeing that Andrew looked guilty, Professor McGonagall finally breathed a sigh of relief—all his plans to commit suicide were finally cancelled.

"The next step is the notification of usage methods and service life. You should also remember it."

The professor breathed a sigh of relief and his tone finally softened.
