Hogwarts Homecoming

A special power remnant?

Harry and Hermione looked at each other, wondering what Dumbledore was trying to express.

However, Dumbledore, who had acted urgently just now, suddenly became cautious. He raised his head and stared at the white ceiling in silence for a while, then asked questions as if talking to himself,

"According to Miss Granger, the Marauder's Map has always been in your possession, Harry, how do you think it got into Mr. Malfoy's hands?"

Harry was a little confused, obviously they were discussing how to save Sirius now, why did Dumbledore suddenly care so much about this map?

"At Christmas--"

Hermione stared at Dumbledore's blue eyes, trying to find something in those bright eyes to confirm her guess,

"Malfoy broke into the Gryffindor common room with Mr. Filch, eh. We got into some trouble, if, at that time, Scabbers. I mean, Peter just followed Malfoy—"

Hermione asked quietly,

"Harry, have you made sure the Marauder's Map was with you after that?"

"No—" Harry shook his head immediately, self-assured, "I haven't used it for a while—"

"Looks like we've finally figured out a problem--"

Dumbledore gave Hermione an appreciative glance, he nodded and said, "Then there is another problem, the Marauder's Map in Remus's hand and Mr. Malfoy's are merged into one, but since Sirius and the others didn't make a second map back then, so what happened to the map in Remus' hand?"

It was indeed a puzzling question, at least Harry couldn't figure it out.

"Professor Dumbledore --" Hermione breathed lightly, she stared at Dumbledore and called softly.

Dumbledore glanced outside the door, and the rhythm of speaking became tight again,

"There are some questions we'll have to find the answers to ourselves, Miss Granger, and it's a very dangerous mission, but if it succeeds, oh, I think you'll obviously succeed, don't you, you might save tonight It's not a life."

Harry opened his mouth slightly, looking at Dumbledore for a while, and Hermione for a while, unable to intervene in their conversation at all.

"But, Professor—"

Hermione grabbed the collar nervously, her voice was trembling, but Dumbledore stood up straight away, he took out his wand and waved it, a gust of wind blew out of nowhere in the closed room, Harry and Hermione They all felt as if something had merged into their bodies.

"A little insurance--"

Facing the puzzled eyes of the two little guys, Dumbledore said quickly, "Your names can be prevented from appearing on this wonderful map—"

Harry was completely confused, and could only cover his eyes at Hermione, who was pursing her lips.

"If you don't know what to do, Miss Granger, I suggest going the same way. Good luck."

Dumbledore also abandoned the map on Harry's hospital bed, hurried out of the room and closed the door.

"Good luck?" Harry stared at Hermione with rounded eyes, "But aren't we discussing how to save Sirius, what can luck do to help us?"

Immediately after Dumbledore left, Hermione fumbled around the neckline, and after a while, she pulled out a long, thin gold chain.

Hermione also grabbed the Marauder's Map and stuffed it into her pocket, then put Harry's invisibility cloak on her arm on the bedside, and said urgently,

"Come here, Harry, we don't have much time to waste."

Harry walked over blankly, looking at the small shining hourglass on the gold chain, wondering what it was for.

"Come--"

Hermione hung the chain around Harry's neck as well, "Are you ready?"

"What's this for?" Harry was baffled, he thought they were being too stupid, Professor Lupine's life and death were uncertain, Sirius' life was also hanging by a thread, Ron hadn't woken up yet, Hagrid was also in a coma, but Dumbledore But left without any explanation, while he and Hermione were fiddling with a souvenir.

Hermione turned the hourglass four times.

The bright and majestic ward suddenly disappeared, and Harry felt like he was on a knight bus that accelerated suddenly. The powerful inertial force pulled him back. Except for Hermione, the colors of the scenes on both sides quickly became blurred. There seemed to be many figures hidden in the blur. He wanted to see his surroundings clearly, but his dizzy head and swollen eardrums made him unable to see clearly.

Hermione seemed to be feeling okay, as if she was used to the painful feeling, but Harry screamed because of his swollen eardrums and fainting brain, but what was puzzling was that he couldn't hear himself at all. Shouts.

Then, suddenly, he felt his feet touch the solid ground again, and everything around him became clear again——

They were still in that ward, but it was pitch-black in the ward, and someone turned off the light at some point, and the noisy sounds outside the ward also disappeared.

Harry looked around in a daze, and when his gaze passed over the clock hanging on the wall, his expression suddenly became astonished, because the hour and minute hands on the dial showed impressively that it was still a while before ten o'clock.

"Nine forty--"

Hermione put the invisibility cloak on the two of them, and she muttered eagerly,

"Where are we at this time?"

"Maybe at the celebration in the break room--"

Harry had vaguely grasped a clue, but he couldn't believe his guess.

"Oh, yes, that's it!"

Hermione yelled softly, and she pulled Harry up and rushed out of the ward.

At this moment, Madam Pomfrey has finished her ward rounds, and she is comfortably flipping through magazines in her small room, listening to the songs on the radio. She may not have imagined that a few hours The troubles I will face in the future.

"We--this--what the-what--what's going on!"

When climbing up to the third floor, Harry finally couldn't help asking.

"We went backwards in time. Phew, with this time-turner—"

When rushing upstairs, Harry and Hermione found Percy who was also climbing the stairs. He seemed to be in a good mood, humming alone. It seemed that he had finished patrolling the castle and was going back to the dormitory to rest.

Hermione stopped talking, and after Percy was out of their sight, she took Harry's hand and ran wildly in the corridor on the third floor,

"I got it from Professor McGonagall on the first day back to school last term. I've used it for all my classes this year. Professor McGonagall made me swear not to tell anyone. She wrote to the Ministry of Magic. It took a lot of letters to get one for me, and she had to prove to them that I was a model student and would never use it for anything other than academics. I reversed it, and it was reloaded for a while, so I could Taking several classes at the same time, get it."

If he hadn't experienced too many accidents tonight, Harry would definitely express his surprise to this thing called the Time Turner.

"oh--"

At this moment, Hermione slammed on the brakes, and she stopped, expressing surprise to an office with an open door on the side of the corridor.

"He forgot to close the office door—"

Hermione whispered, but then, realizing she shouldn't make any movement, she covered her mouth again.

This is Professor Lupine's office, but he himself is not in the office. Harry suddenly recalled that Professor Lupine should be on his way back after washing at this time, and from the map opened by Hermione, Harry also confirmed that up to this point.

"Speaking of which, how did you find out that Professor Lupine was... a werewolf?"

Among the things that surprised Harry tonight, Professor Lupine's identity as a werewolf definitely ranks in the top three. When he was in the Forbidden Forest before, Harry had no chance to ask Hermione how she discovered this secret, but now, He still couldn't help being curious.

"Remember, Harry, Professor Lupine taught us how to deal with Boggarts in the first lesson, when the Boggart turned into a moon when facing Professor Lupine. After that, every month he would have I have been on sick leave for a few days, I have been wondering about it, and before Christmas, I previewed the textbook of Defense Against the Dark Arts in advance, and saw the introduction of the werewolf—”

Hermione cautiously poked her head into Professor Lupine's office, but there was no one there.

On the Marauder's map, Professor Lupine has appeared on the other side of the stairs on the fourth floor, and the location of the Gryffindor tower, the names of Ron and Harry are intersecting with Percy.

"really weird--"

Hermione said dully.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Harry asked quickly, while Hermione pointed to the Gryffindor common room, her tone full of confusion,

"Did you see, Harry, we were led out of the lounge by Peter. You see, we are going downstairs now, but Peter's name cannot be seen on the map."
