Chapter 142 Nothing good will happen if it's time
In the world of Harry Potter, Bruce has returned like lightning.
This time the owl didn't do anything fancy and just dropped him off at the door of an orphanage.
Instead, it landed directly near Granger's house.
"You're smart this time!"
Bruce sneered, "I already have a mother. Your crappy jokes can never penetrate my defenses again."
"Don't be too proud too soon!"
Katum didn't want to bother with Bruce, but if he insisted on provoking him, don't blame the owl for getting excited.
"Do you think there will be any good results waiting for you after you go to the Flashpoint world?"
Katum sneered, "Don't forget, Martha's hands are stained with blood after she became a clown. Do you really think that a happy ending of family reunion is waiting for you?"
After all, Martha is also a clown.
When she started kidnapping children, there was no turning back.
Is there really any possibility of reconciliation between her and Thomas?
"That's not something I should worry about."
Bruce deadpanned, "I have a no-killing principle, so I can't kill anyone, let alone my mother."
"What a flexible no-killing principle."
Katum sighed and did not pursue the issue any further.
Does Bruce really not know about Martha's sins?
He knew it better than anyone else, but he didn't know what to do for the moment. He couldn't really use force against his mother.
You can only use the universal tactic of procrastination and not consider these troublesome problems for the time being.
Katum knew very well that Bruce didn't need to be so worried.
As long as he doesn't go to the Flashpoint world, he won't have to face these things, and Martha might still follow her predetermined destiny and commit suicide.
Then there is no need to worry about anything.
But is this the result Bruce really wants?
The answer is actually self-evident.
……
Bruce returned to the Grangers.
This time, he could finally stand up straight, take out the gift, and say -
"I brought this back to you from America!"
Although he said the same thing last time.
Hermione had gotten used to Bruce going to the United States every summer vacation, so the idea of taking Bruce to the beach had to be put on hold for the time being.
Unless they go to America together one summer.
On the other side, as soon as Katum returned home, he flew into the living room, grabbed the rag doll that was pretending to be dead on the sofa, and kept tearing it with his two claws, venting his dissatisfaction.
You evil witch, you really have evil intentions.
Barbatos's eyeliner from the beginning!
This sloppy-looking rag doll was named Muun by Hermione, and contains a demon witch from DC.
Since being sealed by Ravenclaw, the witch has lost the ability to speak.
Faced with Katum's unilateral violence, she could only utter some groaning screams.
As if to explain that she was also a victim.
Katum didn't care about that.
You still dare to quibble after all this, you deserve to die!
He immediately increased his intensity.
When Hermione saw Katoom's state and the doll was almost torn to pieces, she screamed and came over to stop it.
"Katum, what are you doing!?"
She snatched the doll back from Katoom's claws, "If you do this, I will ignore you from now on!"
Katoom sneered, he hadn't settled the score with Hermione yet.
The owl still remembers the grudge of not building a statue for him in his dream.
"When he was in the United States, Katum fell from the sky and hit his head."
Bruce walked into the living room and said sincerely, "Since then, he has been a little crazy. I guess he may have become a low-energy owl."
Katoom's eyes suddenly widened.
Bruce, you kid, you take advantage of the fact that I can't talk to others and spread rumors all over the place, right?
Ugh!
Suddenly, Katum felt the danger in the world. The whole world was targeting him, the poor owl.
He lowered his head and flew away.
Then, when passing by Hermione, he suddenly attacked and grabbed another handful of dolls.
This caused Muen and Hermione to scream again.
……
The summer vacation is coming to an end.
One day at breakfast, Bruce was cracking the shell of a hard-boiled egg when he suddenly said:
"Any news from the wizarding world this summer?" he explained. "It's hard for me to follow what's going on in England while I'm in America."
"This is big news! Wait for me for a moment."
Hermione stood up and went back to her room. After a while, she took out a stack of newspapers.
She spread a copy of the Daily Prophet out on the table.
In a large photograph on the first page, a haggard-looking man with long, messy hair blinked slowly at Bruce.
"This is the biggest news of this summer."
Hermione said, "It caused panic among the people. Hogwarts even sent a letter to the students, asking everyone to be careful."
Bruce held up the newspaper.
Blake is still at large
Sirius Black, arguably the most evil prisoner ever held in Azkaban prison, remains at large, the Ministry of Magic has confirmed today.
"We are doing everything we can to bring Black back to justice," said Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge this morning. "We implore the wizarding community to remain calm."
Some members of the International Confederation of Wizards accused Fudge of informing the Muggle Prime Minister of the crisis.
"The fugitive Sirius Black?"
Bruce said, "Isn't Azkaban known as the most heavily guarded prison? How could there be escapees?"
"The most strict prison, there seems to be such a saying."
Katoom stood on the table, slurping his porridge. "But then I looked it up, and it was Azkaban himself who said this."
Hermione shook her head and had no idea how Sirius escaped from Azkaban.
"I have heard this statement, but I disagreed from the beginning."
Hermione said, "There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Azkaban has existed for a long time. When everyone thinks it is well guarded, that's when problems begin.
“I’ve always felt that you can’t just catch someone, throw them in jail, and then everything will be alright.
"On the contrary, once the inmates enter the prison, everything has just begun."
Hearing this, Katum nodded immediately, agreeing with it.
"That makes sense!" He looked at Bruce and said, "Learn more from your cousin!"
Bruce felt that the dead owl was mocking him again.
Hermione hadn't finished her words yet, she was still expressing her opinions.
“And the prison is so complicated, with all kinds of prisoners in it, committing all kinds of crimes.
“If we send them to prison without managing them, what if they exchange experiences?
"With so many prisoners learning from each other, there will always be a saint and mentor in the criminal world."
Hermione glanced worriedly at Sirius in the newspaper.
"I am very worried now. What if Sirius learns all the skills in Azkaban? Who will be able to deal with him then?
"Especially, his goal is——"
Harry Potter.
Bruce saw the introduction about Sirius in the newspaper.
He was the Dark Lord's most loyal servant and once killed thirteen innocent people in the street. It can be said that his crime was extremely heinous.
Now that he has escaped from prison, he will definitely want revenge for the Dark Lord.
His target, of course, is the boy who survived, Harry Potter.
Bruce put away the newspaper, then saw that the owl was eating his porridge again, and seemed to have completely lost interest in Sirius.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat!"
Bruce said, "Harry is our friend after all, can't you worry about him?"
Come to think of it, Bruce felt like he was in a different world and his mentality was different.
When he was in the Dusk Wolf or Black Robe world, there were murderers everywhere, but he didn't feel anything was scary.
In the Harry Potter world, a prisoner escaping from prison makes him feel that he will cause some disaster.
Katoom pulled his head out of the bowl and said slowly, “There’s nothing to be afraid of, it’s all a misunderstanding, Harry doesn’t need to worry about Sirius.
"It seems to me that the person who might be most worried is Snape."
Bruce was puzzled: "Why Snape?"
"I don't know what to say."
Catum thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because Snape is trying to erase all traces of James from Harry."
James?
That was Harry's father's name.
Is there any story between Sirius and Harry's father?
Bruce was asking questions when he heard a knock on glass.
When I turned around, I saw a little owl standing by the windowsill with a package hanging by its feet.
Bruce walked over and opened the window, and the little owl flew in.
"Hey, it's my little brother number 36!"
Katum held the shelf, "Have you eaten?"
The little owl saluted respectfully to King Katum.
Katum kicked the bowl on the table and said, "You came by chance. If you are interested, you can eat my half bowl of leftover porridge!"
Bruce interrupted Katoom's pretense before the little owl could say anything.
"Okay, don't delay business, let me see who sent the package."
Bruce took the rope from the little owl's feet, took the package in his hand, turned it over, and saw the logo of the Ministry of Magic.
He opened the package, and out fell a letter and two small, shiny hourglasses, each attached to a thin, long gold chain.
"Time-Turner!"
Katum recognized the object immediately. He flew to Bruce's hand and tried to snatch the hourglass.
Bruce, who had been on guard against him, immediately turned around and handed one of them to Hermione.
"I was just wondering when this thing would be delivered."
Hermione examined the Time Turner carefully. "Professor McGonagall sent a letter not long ago saying that the review has been passed and asked us to remember the oath we promised."
There is a line of small words written on the hourglass: I mark every moment, but never surpass the sun. My value to you is measured by your purpose.
"What oath?"
Bruce opened the letter in his hand, looking as if he couldn't remember anything.
Above is a description of the Time Turner, along with some advice on how to use it.
This time the time-turner was approved because of the guarantee of the two deans, Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout.
The Ministry of Magic warned Hermione and Bruce not to use the Time-Turner for anything other than academic purposes.
"Hermione, this is a letter for you."
Bruce shook his head. "I suddenly felt a little dizzy. I couldn't recognize any words. I didn't know what was written on it."
Hermione took the letter and read it carefully, especially the instructions.
"It says that if you turn the hourglass upside down, you can turn back time for a little while."
Hermione looked at the letter and said, "One turn is one hour. Under the premise of not causing any possible serious damage to the traveler or time itself, the maximum period of time travel is about five hours.
"The time-turning process must not be discovered by anyone, otherwise the Ministry of Magic will take back the time-turner."
Bruce was really curious about the time converter, so he asked Katum, "What happens if it exceeds five hours?"
"Who knows?"
Katum said absentmindedly, "I suggest you don't be too interested in this thing. Playing with time may lead to unpredictable consequences."
He sees it better than anyone else.
As long as time is involved, nothing good will happen.
According to the law that Katum had mentioned before, people with self-healing abilities will definitely suffer the most serious injuries.
The same applies to the Time Turner.
If everything could be redeemed, perhaps something irreversible would happen this year.
