The Rune Mage Starting at Hogwarts

She only glanced at the pendulum clock hanging on the wall.

They were talking about other worlds, and there were only about twenty minutes left before their afternoon class.

“Let’s wait a while before discussing the other world,” Professor McGonagall straightened up and handed a form to Ryze.

“I have seen your course selection form. You have filled in all the elective courses offered in the third year.”

Raz took the form, and McGonagall continued, "You should be very clear about the Hogwarts curriculum. There is a certain time conflict in the third-year curriculum."

"Perhaps you already know the truth through your divination abilities, but I still need to formally explain the school's rules to you."

"In order to ensure that students can take all overlapping courses, the Ministry of Magic has provided us with a time converter."

She briefly explained the function and taboos of the time converter, and then continued, "Because time magic is very unstable, the Ministry of Magic has very strict review standards for the distribution of such items. Only students who have received excellent grades in all their second-year courses and have been unanimously recommended by their professors are eligible to have the principal apply to the Ministry of Magic for temporary access to the time converter."

"This year, there are only two third-year students in the entire Hogwarts who meet the application requirements," Professor McGonagall looked at Rhett, "one is you, and the other is Hermione Granger from Gryffindor."

Ryze nodded: "Hermione didn't tell me about the time-traveling device, but she did mention that I needed to come to you for permission."

Professor McGonagall sighed: "Normally, it might take several years to find a student who meets the requirements. This year is an exception. In short, because of concerns that using two time-converters at the same time would cause problems, the Ministry of Magic only approved one time-converter for Hogwarts."

“I’ve placed tracking and protection spells on this time converter and entrusted it to Miss Granger for safekeeping,” Professor McGonagall instructed Ryze. “So from today onward, you’ll need to work with Miss Granger and use this time converter together to adjust your class schedule.”

Having already prepared himself mentally, Ryze was not surprised at all.

He and Hermione were already familiar with each other, so it was convenient for them to use the converter together.

And if he really wanted to study the time-shifter, Hermione certainly wouldn't refuse him.

After all, he had already completed a time travel during this summer vacation. Now, if he were to switch back to studying simple time, it would probably be considered a lower standard in other people's eyes.

Professor McGonagall's expression, however, became much more serious once again.

“Riz, although you are more skilled in magic than most adult wizards and have an unimaginable talent for time manipulation, I still have to tell you a few rules about the time converter.”

"First, you must never let your past self see your present self, and you must never let anyone who is unaware of the situation discover that you are in two places at the same time."

"Secondly, the flow of time is a closed loop. Do not try to use the opportunity to go back in time to arbitrarily change anything that has already happened, as that will only bring disaster to our world."

"Third, do not reveal the existence of the time-travel device to any other students besides you and Miss Granger, not even Harry Potter or your roommates. You must find a reasonable excuse to cover up your course conflicts."
