Rossi, who had just walked out of the principal's office and was feeling quite relaxed, was about to say goodbye to Snape when he heard him say in a very low voice:
"Miss Rossi, now that things have come to this, I have to give you a piece of advice."
He glanced at the closed door of the principal's office, and then turned his black eyes to Rossi again:
"You are still young and don't know that things you receive from others actually have a price tag on them."
After saying these words without thinking, Snape quickly left here.
Hearing this, Rossi couldn't help but murmured: Was he hinting at Dumbledore?
She reached out and touched the pocket watch hanging around her neck, and then glanced at the Patronus Charm filled with experience points in her temporary skills. A smile suddenly appeared on her lips.
"All the gifts given by fate have been marked with a price secretly, but I chose to avoid paying the price!"
…
The heavy rain outside continued until midnight, and then at five o'clock the next morning, it began to rain continuously.
Hogwarts staff dormitory, in a room in an abandoned area.
Rosie sat on a chair by the window, looking at the scenery outside boredly, waving the wand unconsciously in her hand.
On the table in front of her, a teacup grew larger, shrunk, and became grotesque as she waved her wand...
At this moment, the dormitory door opened a small crack from the outside, and Hermione, carrying a plate of bread, squeezed in.
"I guess you don't want to drink pumpkin porridge, so you only brought bread." Hermione put the bread plate on the table.
"Well, you understand me!"
Rossi smiled and patted the kettle on the table, "I would rather drink water."
"me too!"
Looking at each other and smiling, Rosie put down her wand and picked up a piece of bread.
"What are your plans for a while?"
Hermione asked, raising her eyes.
Chewing the fluffy and soft bread in his mouth, Rossi said vaguely:
"I'm looking around. You don't have to worry about me."
She had a vague suspicion in her mind that she was probably the one who changed the plot and prevented the Dementors from appearing on the Quidditch pitch.
"Then remember to get back to the starting point in time!"
Hermione looked at Rossi with a serious expression and warned her seriously.
"Go back to the starting point?"
Rosie put down the bread she was holding and asked while adding water to her teacup.
Hermione nodded, and seeing the confusion on her face, she could only continue to add:
"Your quarters, while we turn the time-turner."
"Do you still need to run back to the origin? After the effect of the time converter ends, won't people go back directly to the original time and place?"
Rosie looked at Hermione in surprise and saw her shaking her head, so she asked again: "But when I saw you using the time turner before, didn't you return to the bathroom in a flash of light?"
"No, the bright light you saw was the movement of the Time Turner activating."
Hermione explained patiently, "After I finished speaking to you, I hurried back to the castle and hid in another compartment in the bathroom in advance."
"What about when you took me to rescue Ron? I clearly saw you disappear in the blink of an eye."
"That's because after I saw you throwing the monster book, I knew that the hippogriff was going to rush here soon, which would attract my attention in another time, so I ran away in a hurry."
"So you walked in through the bathroom door the second time?"
Rosie suddenly realized that she had thought that after the time turner's effect ended, the user would be randomly teleported back to the origin!
"Then I understand, I will go back on time."
After breakfast, Hermione hurried out of the room wearing the raincoat given to her by Rosie. She was going to the stadium lounge to prepare in advance.
Rosie stayed there alone, without a clue.
If it was really me, where did I drive away the dementors? You can't find them one by one and drive them away, right? Just driving them away but not killing them is totally meaningless!
While her thoughts were swirling, she vaguely heard a quarrel outside the door.
"Eh? It sounds so familiar... Does this voice sound like Lupine?"
Rosie quietly sneaked to the door and leaned her ear against it.
"...You can't involve him in this, he's still a child! Black!"
Lupine's voice sounded particularly excited.
Blake? Are those Lupine and Sirius Black outside? Did they mention Harry?
While thinking about it, Rosie held her breath and listened carefully.
Black's voice sounded a little low: "Remus, he is James's son, and he has the right to know the truth. Moreover, I cannot and am unwilling to let him regard me as an enemy."
"I think you are really crazy!"
There was a sound of clothes being pulled, and it sounded like Lupine was grabbing Black's clothes.
"You have no evidence at all for Harry to believe you!"
Lupin's voice sounded like a low growl.
After two seconds of silence, Blake's voice sounded again:
"You can bear witness for me, Remus."
His pitch rose a few notches, sounding unpleasant.
"That will only make him doubt me too."
After saying this, Lupine smiled bitterly again, "Black, you have to understand that we lack more practical evidence."
"Remus!"
Blake's voice suddenly became heavier, "You clearly know that the damn mouse is Peter! And now you're telling me the evidence!"
He seemed disappointed and angry with his friend, and although he lowered his voice, Rossi could still hear some hysteria in his voice.
"I stayed in Azkaban for twelve years! Remus! I always thought it was me who was wrong. I live in pain and remorse every day! Do you know how I survived?!!"
With a "bang", a person was pushed hard against the wall. Rossi guessed that it was Lupin.
"And now, you know who should go to jail, but you're still here telling me the evidence?!!"
Blake's voice sounded frantic.
"I know, I feel your pain, Blake."
Lupine, who was pressed against the wall, didn't seem to be struggling, but said with bitterness in his voice, "I also want to testify for you, but who would believe a werewolf's words?"
"So you can stand by and watch me being wronged with peace of mind?!!"
"I do not……"
A loud "dong" sound interrupted Lu Ping's defense.
Blake punched the wall?
Just as Rosie was guessing, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching further and further outside.
"Blake! Don't be impulsive!"
Lupine called in a low voice and quickly chased after him.
It wasn't until the footsteps completely disappeared that Rosie cautiously opened the door.
Seeing that there was no one around, she immediately ran after them in the direction they left.
