Professor Rupert Hogwarts

Chapter 184 Prophecy at the Dinner Table
Time travel is just four simple words, but the actual meaning it represents is extraordinary.

Ever since Eisen incorporated the time travel feature, he has been resisting the urge to go back to the past.It's not that Aisen doesn't want to travel through time, but he has been considering whether to travel through time.

Because time in this world is too fragile, Aisen cannot help but be careless.

However, when he thought of Hermione playing with the time turner every day, Eisen finally made up his mind.After all, there is always a step to be taken.

Simply put, half of this school year has passed and nothing major is going to happen.

Therefore, Eisen plans to conduct time travel experiments in the next time.As it happens, Christmas is coming soon and Hogwarts Castle will be empty by then.

……

Time flies by and it’s Christmas Eve in a blink of an eye.

Magnificent decorations had been made within Hogwarts Castle, and although there were very few students staying at the school, friezes of holly and mistletoe were hung in the corridors throughout the castle.

In the auditorium, there were twelve Christmas trees placed as usual, with golden stars shining on the trees.The aroma of cooking food spread even into the hallway.

The little wizards have all gone home for Christmas. Among the three, Ron left Hogwarts and went home. Harry also left school because of Sirius Black. Only Hermione chose to stay. school.

On Christmas morning, Eisen saw Hermione in the Great Hall.Although the entire auditorium was decorated with a Christmas atmosphere, it was empty and looked very deserted.

Hermione sat in front of the long table. Although there were several pieces of food in front of her, there were mostly several long pages of parchment.The parchment was folded and put aside, with the words "On the Effective Methods of Arithmetic Divination" written on it.

In addition, Hermione is also studying the translation of ancient magic texts.It can be seen that as a top student, Hermione is still willing to immerse herself in the ocean of knowledge even on Christmas day.

"It's Christmas vacation, you still work so hard?" Eisen came to Hermione's side, picked up a digital icon and looked at it, only to find it extremely complicated.

"Well, I plan to finish all my homework today!" Hermione said unconsciously, and when she looked up and saw Eisen, a smile appeared on her face.

The Christmas holidays at Hogwarts school are about two weeks in total, and there is still one week before the start of the next semester.

Therefore, it is not unusual for Hermione to finish all her homework on Christmas Day.

"So, is there enough time?" After taking a look at no one around, Aisen asked in a low voice.

"Professor, you mean to use a time-turner?" Hermione stared at Eisen with wide eyes.

"Yes, you can go back a few hours to do your homework. In this way, won't you have a few more hours?" Eisen nodded and encouraged Hermione.

Hermione's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a new world.Previously, Hermione would always use the Time-Turner during class.I had never thought of using it for homework. After Professor Eisen reminded me this time, I found that this is really a great idea.

"Thank you, Professor, I'll go right away -" Hermione cleared away the plates in front of her, picked up her manuscript and quill and was about to leave.

"Don't worry, wait for me, I'll also—" Eisen reached out and patted Hermione's head lightly, giving her a meaningful look.

"You want to use the time turner too?" Hermione's eyes widened, then she leaned close to Eisen and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, time travel, I also want to experience what it is like." Aisen nodded calmly.

In fact, that's exactly what Eisen had in mind.

He had previously considered conducting a time travel experiment. Although he had already made up his mind, he still planned to let Hermione use a time turner to take him through time to try.

After all, Hermione had used the Time-Turner many times during the first semester of this school year and already had a wealth of experience.In this case, Eisen thought that he might as well let Hermione take him through time and try what it's like to travel through time.

In this way, perhaps it will be more natural for Eisen himself to use the time travel feature to travel through time.

"So, Professor Eisen, when do we start?" Hermione closed the textbook and watched Eisen become more interested.

"Well -, how about we start in the library at five o'clock in the afternoon?" After pondering for a moment, Eisen winked at Hermione.

"Okay, Professor Eisen!" Hermione frowned and then relaxed, and opened the manuscript again.

……

During lunch, Eisen came to the auditorium and found that the four long tables had been moved to the wall.There is only one table in the center that can accommodate 12 people.

Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Sprout and Flitwick are all here.In addition to these five people, Hagrid and administrator Filch were also present.

Eisen noticed that in addition to Hermione, a third-year student, there were two first-year students and a sixth-year Slytherin House student.

A total of twelve people could fit around this table.

"Eisen, Merry Christmas!" Dumbledore said with a smile on his face, "There are not many of us, so it would be a bit silly to use the tables in each courtyard - please sit down!"

When Eisen approached the table and sat down next to Hermione, he waved his hand. Suddenly, the plates on the table were filled with roasted chicken, fried sausages, steaks and other extremely rich foods.

"Thank you, you too!" After Eisen sat down, he took the fried sausage and started eating it.

"Firecracker! Severus—" Dumbledore looked at Snape enthusiastically and handed over the tail end of a large silver firecracker.

Snape took it expressionlessly, seemingly reluctantly.Then when he pulled it, the firecrackers roared, and after they exploded, a pointed witch hat was revealed, with specimens of mountain eagles on the top of the hat.

Seeing this scene, Eisen called a good guy in his heart.A glance revealed that Snape's face had darkened further.

Obviously, Dumbledore had already known about the Boggart turning into Snape and wearing women's clothes and a witch hat during Professor Lupin's class.At this time, Dumbledore was definitely causing trouble on purpose.

Snape, with a dark face, handed the witch hat directly to Dumbledore. Dumbledore didn't have any expression, took the hat directly and put it on his head.

At this moment, the door of the hall was suddenly opened.Looking up, Eisen realized that the person who came in was Sybill Trelawney, the divination professor.

To celebrate Christmas, she wore a green dress decorated with metallic discs.It looks like a shiny, oversized dragonfly.

"Sybil, I'm so glad you're here!" Dumbledore stood up and welcomed Professor Trelawney.

"Headmaster, I have been looking into the crystal ball." Professor Trelawney rubbed her glasses and spoke in a vague, distant voice, "What surprised me was that I saw myself abandoning my lunch alone. , come to your party.

Who am I?How can one refuse the urging of fate?I walked out of my building immediately, and I sincerely ask you to forgive me for being late..."

"Of course, of course!" Dumbledore's eyes lit up, then he took out his wand and pointed to the other side, "Let me get you a chair -"

Following Dumbledore's movement, a chair was pulled over out of thin air, and then landed between Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall, making a dull sound.

However, Professor Trelawney did not sit down. After scanning the circle of people around the dining table, she suddenly let out a scream.

"I don't dare! Principal! If I sit down, there will be thirteen people at the table. Nothing is more unlucky than thirteen. Never forget that if thirteen people eat together, be the first to stand up after the meal The person who will die will be the first!”

"We're willing to take the risk, Sybil." Professor McGonagall said impatiently, "Sit down, the turkey is going to be as cold as a stone."

Professor Trelawney hesitated, then sat on the empty chair.But looking at the way her lips were pursed and her eyes were closed, Eisen felt as if a meteorite was about to fall directly on their table.

However, such a prediction?Eisen took a look, and there were exactly thirteen people in total, including himself and the new Professor Trelawney.
