, wonderful and free of pop-ups! "You really can't take us with you?"
Kitty, who can travel anywhere but cannot travel through time for the time being, sat on the sofa and said frustratedly.
After Dumbledore left, the students swarmed up and surrounded Peter and Harry. They all wanted to know if Charles had any brains. The old man wore a miniskirt and did a striptease on the street, or climbed up to the Statue of Liberty and shouted '! '.
"You only have this little imagination, don't you?" Logan dismissed the children's ideas, "a bunch of ignorant kids who don't know how scary telepaths are."
"When Rogue was only this big," Sean enthusiastically revealed the news to everyone (Rogue next to him screamed in protest) and waved his hands to indicate the size of a child less than three years old, "Do you know how he carried her? He took the poor kid under his arm and took him away. Charles saw it once and was so angry that he made him think he was a huge wolf. He was embarrassed in the school and ate raw meat. Finally, his stomach couldn't stand it. It was only when he was vomiting that Charles spared him... Oops!"
Under the gaze of the students, Logan silently retracted the twelve-inch diamond claws that shaved off a bunch of Sean's bangs. He looked like a gangster who had blown his gun. He lay on the back of the sofa and said to Sean: "Remember I told you countless times. Really? Watch your mouth, or I will cut off your tongue?"
"Old Wolf, you are threatening violence," Sean yelled reluctantly, "My hair style has been ruined by you!"
Logan sneered at this, obviously too lazy to refute. It was more of a message of contempt, so much so that Alex had to give Sean a slap on the back of his head to tell him to be quiet.
"I have to... use this to get back to morning time with Peter," Harry had to explain under everyone's gaze. R was beside him, quickly tasting the candies he found from Dumbledore's pocket, one bite at a time, and there were many of them. There were many weird varieties, such as ice rats with sour teeth, and piles of cockroaches that looked exactly like cockroaches. The girls looked at them with horror and ate them all without even blinking. "We need to go and see." The situation at that time.”
"Aren't your children all right?" said, "Why do you have to go?"
"I can't just wait for him to try a second time after knowing that someone wants my life!" Harry explained helplessly, "I have to get some clues - otherwise I won't be able to sleep! Everything is at risk. I don’t know, waiting for the next danger to happen, what would you do if it were you?”
"Let him come!" he said decisively, "We can stay in your dormitory day and night - you have a single room anyway. If he wants to do anything else," this young man who has been a tough guy since middle school snorted, " We'll blow him to pieces."
After speaking, he adjusted the red quartz glasses on his face threateningly.
"I... just have Peter come with me," Harry couldn't help but take three steps back and grabbed Peter's sleeve, "This is something that requires planning, you can't be so simple and crude..."
"Do you have any plans?" Jean asked, "Why can't the principal go with you? Do you have to go?"
There was a tangled look on Harry's face: "It is said that the time turner cannot really change the future... If Principal Dumbledore really returned to that point in time, there is no reason why I would bump in the sky until the broom exploded, uh, I mean Yes, he is one of the most powerful wizards in Britain after all.”
"As for the plan, I guess I have one," Harry said with a bitter look on his face as he picked up the invisibility cloak. "Look, this is a relic left by my father." Because he said 'father', everyone Knowing that this is not talking about Charles, "This is an invisibility cloak, and I will put it on me and Peter, and we will go back to a slightly earlier time when it happened, maybe ambush where the brooms are, maybe Ambush at the observatory...well, anyway, I can't just be a victim in this whole thing, that would be too stupid, right?"
For Harry, he was not afraid of things happening, but he had to have a solution to it, otherwise he would be too worried to eat or sleep.
"This incident started because of me. That person's target was me. I think it would be more dangerous if someone else went there, because I think the other party would not mind silence." Harry said, "And what I'm worried about is, if And because of this, I am also resented, what should I do? I must solve it. If the person who solves it is not me, it may be worse."
"Why are the British wizard police more useless than the American police?" Rogue frowned and complained, "A race that can use magic and even go back in time can't catch the criminal."
"You have to take us with you!" Kurt grabbed the boy's hand with his paws, worried. "You can't just go with a fast guy for this kind of thing! The more people, the better!"
"Hey, I'm more useful than you all!" Peter immediately expressed dissatisfaction and protested, "I'm an adult and have several times more experience than you."
"Come on, maybe you are really fast, but you can't blow that bastard into pieces!" John said eagerly, obviously having a strong interest in being able to go back in time and catch a bad guy. He jumped up While waving his arms, he almost knocked over the coffee cup in Bobby's hand. The latter pulled him to sit down dissatisfied: "Can you sit down and listen or speak?"
"Don't tell me you don't want to go!" John faced Bobby with an aggressive tone, "That's magic! Time magic!"
"There's nothing we can do if we want to go." Bobby actually felt itchy in his heart, but he knew the head couldn't be opened, so he said firmly, "You're not a wizard. If you go, you might mess up everything."
"Then why can Peter go -"
"Hello, I think I have to make a statement," Peter raised his hand to signal them to stop, "I am traveling with the permission of the wizard's guardian, and I am an adult. You are still a group of children."
Sean and Alex both snorted.
"That's how it is sometimes, guys, a good fighter is not as good as a fast runner," Peter shrugged, "So let's let this topic go and you can think about what Harry should bring... between his things, including what you give him Those ones, were they all left in the dormitory?"
The topic was successfully diverted by him - everyone started rushing to their rooms and started rummaging around for things.
Looking at this posture, Harry's previous nervousness about needing to travel through time disappeared: "...I feel that if I don't write down my feedback after using it, they won't let me go."
"Of course." Peter lowered his head and tore open a candy wrapper and said nonchalantly, "Would you like some lemon strawberry ice cream candy balls?"
…………
"So are you finally ready?" Charles sat on the chair, watching Harry walk over, and almost laughed, "Oh, dear, it seems... everyone wants to help you."
The boy looked helpless. He had a few girls' necklaces on his body, a pair of glasses in his breast pocket, a few hair ropes on his hands, a bracelet made of long hair and a watch. On his head There was an extra baseball cap, and the most exaggerated thing was that someone didn't know who kissed him directly on the face, and the lipstick mark was extremely obvious.
"Oh, you look so cute, Harry." He joked, "Looks like you could be invincible with all this care."
"This is their way of expressing their regret that they can't come with us." Peter looked at Harry's expression and was extremely happy, "You look like a soldier who changed into the wrong clothes."
Harry almost rolled his eyes at him.
"I think we can get started." Harry tried to ignore the sound of three or four necklaces clinking together around his neck, picked up the invisibility cloak, hung the time turner chain around his neck, and stretched out his hand to Peter, " Let’s leave now.”
"Oh, no, no, no," Peter said, "You forgot what the old man said just now - it must be worn around the necks of two people at the same time to send two people away."
Harry took the time turner and looked at Peter and himself, and painfully realized that due to the height difference between the two of them, this was an unattainable request.
"You have to learn to be flexible." Harry felt like he was flying into the air again. In the blink of an eye, he was picked up by Peter again. Then with a slight hook of the young man's hand, the gold chain changed from just around his neck to on both sides. On the individual's neck, the invisibility cloak also successfully covered the two people, leaving no gaps at all, "Look, perfect."
harry:………………
"Ahem," Charles pretended that he wasn't laughing. Although he couldn't see anymore, he could still hear what Peter was saying, "It's ten o'clock in the evening, boys, turn around 13 times. Finally, Harry - be safe, And Peter——"
"I know, Charles, I will protect him." Peter answered quickly.
"No, God, of course I know you will protect him," Charles' tone was softer, and he said in a dumbfounded voice, "But Peter, what I need to remind you this time is that you need to pay attention to your own safety, don't Force yourself. You have to know that sometimes, running fast is not invincible. I hope that you and Harry can come back safely by then. I know you like excitement, but this is not the time to look for excitement, right? "
"...Oh," Peter said after a second of silence, "Okay Charles, I just didn't expect... Well, thank you, Charles, I will."
After confirming that everything was ready, Harry reached for the time converter and started to rotate the center circle according to the rule of turning once an hour, causing the small hourglass to start turning over continuously.
"...12,13!"
He was very cautious, counting in his mind after turning 13 times, and then carefully stopped.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my hands were slippery."
Suddenly, a very close voice came to his ears, and his heart skipped a beat. He raised his hand as if he had accidentally slipped it, and quickly - so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye - he moved more. A few clicks on the time turner.
"——peter!!!"
Harry looked at Peter in shock, but immediately saw the surrounding scenery receding in all directions, and the time turner around his neck was constantly rotating at high speed.
His last thought was - who will tell him how many times r 'accidentally' spun too many times!
What an experience that was! Sounds, scenery, and figures all seemed to turn into colored shadows and retrograde films. There seemed to be a hand in the void, throwing them into a space where no one cared. People around them were moving and talking, but no one When people notice this corner, they all look like people in the script. They don't even know that the background board has been replaced. Sometimes Harry can even find himself there.
When night turned into day, Charles and Charles disappeared, the lights on the ceiling were turned off, and daylight poured in from the window - the moment they discovered that the time turner had stopped, Harry hugged Peter tightly. neck, before he could say anything else, he teleported with him.
………………
That's why they're standing in the hogarts hallway in the wee hours of the morning.
Also, Harry found that Kurt's ability had indeed changed in his case - it seemed that he had to tell Kurt to practice hard, because two or three kilometers was definitely not his limit. At least Harry only moved three times before returning to Hogarts. corridor.
The invisibility cloak was translucent. Harry didn't know what kind of material could be used to make it. It looked like black gauze mixed with gold threads, and it felt like water sliding over the hand. Fortunately, it was so transparent. So that they can wander around in the dark corridor without bumping into something and making a sound.
"You made me appear in the corridor after curfew for the first time," Harry took out the flashlight, turned it on the lowest setting, and said angrily in Peter's mind, "I broke the school rules for the first time since I was born."
"Really? Then you can violate it a few more times starting from today." Peter grinned at him in the dark and replied to him in his mind.
Harry thought that if Peter was a wizard, he would definitely be a gryffindor, absolutely.
It is said that Hogarts once had a 'ranking list of school rule violations', which changes every year, but no one knows the most accurate data. However, they later made one themselves, and then they were surprised to find that since the red-haired pair of Easley's family When the twins entered school, all the masters of pranks were eclipsed in front of them. The top spot according to historical data was kicked off in just two years.
By the way, according to unreliable information, the person who held the top spot before seems to be Harry's father.
"There's someone over there!"
r interrupted Harry's intention to say a few more words, and suddenly spoke up, hissing in a low voice, with extreme excitement in his low voice, "Wow, do you think there will be couples going out on dates at this time?"
"...I don't know, but I know that a few nights ago, a murderer invaded here at this time." Harry said to him speechlessly in his mind, "Stop making a sound."
r picked him up again - since they had been on foot for a long time - and then walked forward with his waist bent, his eyes looking at the people in the portraits who were dozing or not dozing, the quiet armor, and the simplicity. His eyes were spinning around on the castle wall tiles, and Harry could feel his heart speeding up even as he held him in his arms.
"Amazing...how many hundreds of years are these things? Those wall tiles and carvings look like they should be antiques long ago." He heard the silver-haired young man whisper.
"Thousands of years." Harry answered.
They walked towards the sound and turned around a corridor, where they could hear the voices of two men. Their voices were very low, as if they were arguing about something, and Harry was sure that he had heard the voices of these two people, and the answer seemed to be ready to come out.
"It's Professor Lupin and Professor Snape." Harry told Peter in surprise, "Professor Lupin is my father's good friend."
"What about the other one?" Peter asked with interest. "Is he also your father's friend? I think they - yes, just these two people. It's not like they only have a relationship as colleagues, but more like they have a good or bad relationship. They have the same past, and their looks almost have words written on their faces, 'We are acquaintances', can you see it?"
"I don't know this...but in fact I think Professor Snape is my father's mortal enemy...he hates me very much." When talking about this issue, Harry became extremely troubled, "No matter what I do, he hates me."
"How could anyone hate you?" Peter said in shock, and then he comforted Harry, "You are almost the most well-behaved and smart child I have ever seen - or does he want another perfect student?"
"I don't know..." Harry shook his head helplessly, "Although there is no hatred without reason... but no one really knows the reason."
They moved a little closer, trying to find out what the two people were talking about, but as soon as they walked in, they heard Lupin making a clear disapproval and retorting loudly with a slight accusation: "——You just This is how you express your hatred for James! You don’t really hate Harry! You actually know, right? He is actually a good boy, and he is completely different from James! If you can give him an e, why can’t you try again? Treat him objectively? Or put away your unobjective evaluation? He doesn’t know anything, Severus, he is not even R anymore, at least... be fair to him and Harry!"
"...Ah, he really hates my father." Harry thought in a daze.
"——A dead man," Harry then heard Snape reply coldly and contemptuously, "Do you think you can use this to convince me? Lupin? I thought you knew that I have never been an objective and fair representative. From a long time ago, you , you don’t think so, so now, you ask me for objectivity and fairness? And why do you come to fight for Mr. R? You are not his father, Lupin."
You, you guys - which means, well, it sounds like you're not the only one who has a deep hatred for Snape. Harry thought.
"Since I'm the only one left now," Lupin said firmly, "I think I have at least the obligation to fight for something for Harry - there is only one of the four left, Severus, and the next generation only has Harry, and he is the only one. One more.”
"One? Allow me to remind you, Sirius Bck, that fugitive, shameful betrayer, I don't know where he is now." Snape said in a numb voice that could not hear any emotion, "And you, it seems, are not either It’s time to walk in the moonlight, lupin.”
"Sirius——bck, yes, bck," Harry heard Lupine change his words with difficulty, and his tone became colder, "He doesn't count as 'surviving', he already didn't count when he betrayed them. He's alive. I'll catch him sooner or later."
"I have doubts about this." Snape snorted coldly. There was undoubtedly a condemnation in the language, and there was an obvious sense of quarrel with each other and would not give in. "Since the four of you were in school - ah, a group of bad friends, you have been together every day. You did countless crazy things in the corridors of Hogarts with great arrogance. To be honest, when I found out that you were the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, I once suspected that there was something wrong with Dumbledore's brain. Otherwise, why would you, this old bck My friend, you are openly working as a teacher in Hogarts? You even have your own little problem that cannot be ignored, Lupin. So, forgive me for asking: whose life do you want to endanger?"
An old friend? Friendly friends? Crazy stuff? A small problem that cannot be ignored? Endangering lives?
Harry was confused by this series of information.
There seems to be one thing - no, a series of things, all connected together because of the weird conversation of the two professors, like a girl's skirt being blown up by the breeze, the truth is like the scenery inside, secretly The secret place was shown to Harry. Those things may not have been completely revealed, but it was enough for Harry to think about it and use it to find clues.
"It seems like they are of the same age." Harry suddenly remembered this and said to Peter, "My senior sister said that they gossiped about each other. Although it doesn't seem like it, they are indeed the same age... and hogarts are based on We accept students at the standard age.”
"That means they are classmates?" Peter responded quickly.
"That is to say, my father and Professor Snape are also classmates." Harry sighed, vaguely knowing where Snape's hatred for him came from. At least he had a general direction for this matter. He repeated As one saying goes, "It seems he really hates my father."
"...I'm sorry about that."
Like a deflated balloon, after a long period of silence, Lupin's tone finally couldn't match the opponent's point of view, and his voice weakened a lot in the narrow corridor.
"But, I won't hurt anyone again." Harry saw Lupine take out his wand, like a knight holding a sword. While looking at it, he swore, "Especially Harry. You don't have to believe it, but I would rather die than touch him. If Sirius Bck wants to attack Harry——"
The tip of the wand lit up, sparking a few angry sparks in his hand. In the firelight, I saw the usually gentle brown-haired man, with a cold and determined expression on his face, and his eyes were like a dead brown ocean, with no emotion at all.
"——I will kill him with my own hands."
The man whispered, "What about you, Severus?"
In the darkness, Harry couldn't see the mean man's face clearly, but under the light of Lupin's hand, the figure appeared extremely clear, tall and awe-inspiring, so dark that it looked serious and even seemed inviolable.
"What a pity." Snape's voice seemed soft and hoarse, but it was like the whisper of a snake, filled with murderous intent. "I'm afraid I have to compete with you for this opportunity. I have been longing for this opportunity for hundreds of days and months."
This, kill him personally as an opportunity for revenge. Severus Snape has been looking forward to and searching for this since ten years ago. Even if ten years have passed in a hurry, he has never forgotten the hatred buried in his heart. , and the extremely intense desire for revenge against Sirius Bck.
It's always been like this.
