A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 385 Hermione, the Clumsy One Who Can Fly and Escape

early morning,

When William arrived at the auditorium, he looked rather listless. Bobo Cha followed closely behind him, also yawning.

It's really unacceptable to be so listless on the first day of class.

But there was no way around it; last night, Dumbledore and he had a long, heart-to-heart talk until late into the night. The headmaster spent almost two hours just spacing out.

This truly embodies the phrase "two hours of charging, five minutes of talk time!"

William was really scared; the principal had never done this before!

Next time he goes to the principal's office, he must eat a full meal and drink less water, and it would be best to go during the day, otherwise he really can't outlast Dumbledore.

Hermione arrived even earlier than William and was helping Professor McGonagall distribute the Gryffindor timetables, behaving like a model student and an excellent class leader.

Crookshanks followed Hermione with a bewildered look on his face, with Popeye, who had short legs, walking beside him.

Crookshan seemed interested in Poposha, sticking its head out to sniff its rear end and taste its saltiness.

William had specifically speculated about this, saying that cats are elegant animals, and if they can't even wipe their butts clean, what kind of class do they have!

POPSA was terrified, especially by that ugly persimmon face that was poking at her like that. It was even uglier than Hagrid's teeth!

It caught sight of Bobo Tea and immediately ran away as fast as it could, meowing as it rushed towards Bobo Tea.

Bobo Tea was busy chugging down her lactose-free milk, completely absorbed in it! She had no time to pay any attention to Bobo Sa.

POPSA meowed a few times and stretched out its head, wanting to lick it too.

Bobocha raised its big paw and slapped Bobocha to the ground.

"..." It's definitely his biological father!

William got up and picked up the pitiful kitten. It felt nice to the touch, just like the bouncy, chewy Boba Tea from his first year of high school.

William, for reasons unknown, suddenly seized by a mischievous impulse, grabbed PPSh with one hand, patted her twice in the air, and then performed a very subtle left-side crossover dribble.

Step back,

Three-pointer!

Lore! !

Bobocha suddenly meowed, and William quickly turned around to find Hermione behind him, looking at him with a resentful expression.

William reluctantly returned Popsa to Hermione.

The two sat down at the Ravenclaw table.

Hermione asked, "William, are you casting some kind of spell?"

William gave an awkward laugh.

It's common knowledge that boys sometimes walk down the street and suddenly start making sudden stop and shooting motions... Sigh, who isn't a little Kobe at heart!

"You can use Boba Tea to dribble the ball." Hermione opened her divination textbook, "Seeing the Future Through the Fog."

"It's too fat, I can't move it," William said, shrugging.

Bobocha quietly raised its head, glanced at William, and ate even faster.

"Then you can use Annie's pineapple head," Hermione said with a smile.

"Do we need to feed Crookshan and Popossa?"

William decisively changed the subject, refusing to get involved in the battle between the two women.

"They've already eaten, they can't have a second meal, otherwise they'll get as fat as a bubble tea."

"You're here so early, Hermione?" William asked, puzzled.

Hermione didn't speak, but suddenly stretched out her hand with an arrogant expression.

"Where's that little fairy diamond you took yesterday?"

"What's wrong?"

"I need to keep this safe, otherwise you might give it to someone else!" Hermione said coldly.

William was stunned; this was the first time he'd seen Hermione like this. Even when Fleur kissed his forehead last time, she hadn't been this angry.

"What's wrong?" William asked cautiously.

Hermione glared at William, annoyed. "You were being all sneaky with a girl this morning, she hugged you. Who's that girl?"

"Who told you that?" William asked, looking completely bewildered.

"Anyway, someone saw it and told me!" Hermione glared at William.

"Where are the gems?"

"The gemstone is gone."

"That's it?!" Hermione's voice was shrill.

"Professor Dumbledore took it to study," William said quickly.

Judging from Dumbledore's expression, it seems he has no intention of paying it back. This looks like a case of the wicked eating the wicked!

I never expected that the principal would openly engage in corruption and begin to degenerate.

William wasn't unwilling to give gifts.

If the headmaster asked him for one million Galleons, William would give it without hesitation; but if he asked for a diamond, of course he wouldn't agree... because he really did have a diamond!

William tossed her a silver lighter. Hermione caught it, pressed it, and found no response.

"This is the Deluminator. The professor took the jewel and then gave this to me temporarily."

"Only at night. Go to the Room of Requirement tonight, and I'll show you some really interesting little gadgets." William winked.

Hermione snorted and didn't agree.

She looked more closely and discovered a line of small characters written in ancient magical script on the bottom of the base.

William explained softly, "Where the treasure is, there the heart is."

William quickly told Hermione about his conversation with Dumbledore the day before.

"To be honest, even though I was mentally prepared, I still find it hard to believe that Dumbledore...would be friends with someone like Gellert Grindelwald!"

Hermione shook her head, as if her idol had been shattered.

Her attention finally shifted away from the girl who was hugging William.

"Are they just friends?" William squinted, a mysterious smile on his face.

Rozier said the two were friends, and Arya even said that the two had sworn a blood oath when they were at Notre Dame Cathedral, which tricked William into also swearing an oath with her.

What is a blood oath?

Interlocking fingers

Blood flow.

I will always remember my love.

Never harm her.

As the literal meaning suggests, it means swearing never to harm each other!

Fluid exchange isn't always just about "replenishing mana"; it could also involve blood alliances.

This kind of magic is usually conferred between couples or spouses.

When did friends start forming blood oaths?

Oh... Merlin's briefs, the headmaster must have been really wild when he was young.

Hermione hadn't considered this aspect; she only thought that Dumbledore had been unlucky in his youth and had made poor choices in his friends.

William was about to say something when Hermione lowered her head again and resumed her cold war, as if she wouldn't talk to him anymore.

Hermione then took the parchment out of her bag, preparing to do her divination homework.

William glanced at it and said, "Hermione, you should learn from me how to manage your time."

"Yeah, who manages their time as well as you, managing to sneak off with another girl?" Hermione sneered.

William was speechless. "I mean, we should be selective about which classes we attend, instead of taking every single one."

For example, if you're studying Muggle studies, divination, and arithmetic divination at the same time... just go to the last one.

I know you have a time converter, but don't abuse it, like now... You've already used it once, haven't you?"

"Oh, you already found out?" Hermione asked in surprise. "How did you know I used the Time-Turner?"

"Nobody knows more about time converters than me!"

This isn't William bragging; he truly is a "know-it-all," considering he tracked and monitored Professor Tywin for a long time in the first time loop.

Tywin Lannister used the Time-Turner three times within a single period of time, resulting in four of his men appearing simultaneously.

Hermione still looked at William with curiosity.

William pushed up glasses that weren't actually on his face and reasoned, "Too many details tell me the truth. Hermione needs to learn to observe with her own eyes."

"First, you don't feed the two cats, but Poposha wants to eat Popocha's food."

It wouldn't do this if it had just finished eating, and you're still doing your divination homework...

"That only proves I've used the Time-Turner before. This might be the second time I've used it. Why are you so sure it's the first time?" Hermione asked astutely.

"It's very simple. You are full of energy now. If you had taken two classes in a row, you would be tired and hungry."

Instead of being like this now, having little appetite but still having the energy to do homework.

William laughed and said, "So I suggest you eat more and bring some food with you."

After finishing your second class, it will actually be lunchtime for you, but you still have two more classes to attend, so you'll be very hungry...

William frowned, as if he had suddenly realized something. He smiled broadly, then couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

William rolled up a pie and handed it to Hermione.

Hermione didn't take it, but rolled one herself, still looking angry.

However, she hadn't really thought about eating; if William hadn't reminded her, she probably would have been hungry all morning.

"Hermione, you eat first," William said. "I'm going to find Professor Dumbledore, I'll be back in a bit."

William picked up a large pile of food and headed upstairs.

He picked up a map of Hogwarts and looked at it.

One Hermione was in the Gryffindor common room, one Hermione was in the Great Hall, and a third Hermione... was in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom!

William sighed, rubbing his forehead.

This little girl almost caused a problem the first time she used the time converter!

That's incredibly stupid, trying to fly and disappear into the ground.
