Leaving the principal's office, Vincent activated the time converter to go back to 5 hours ago.
It's worth the effort to disgust Dumbledore.
"Trouble..."
Walking in the corridor on the eighth floor of the castle, he stopped and leaned his back against a large tapestry on the wall.
Countless Vincents have already existed in the safe place of the Forbidden Forest. It seems that they will have to stay up all night tonight.
"No!" Vincent suddenly straightened up and walked quickly toward the stairwell.
He gained the friendship of the centaurs when he was in first grade, so it shouldn't be a problem to spend the night in their tribe.
"That's not right either!"
Even in the middle of the night, the enthusiastic horse people will definitely entertain him well.
Not to mention sleeping, I probably have to play until class starts soon.
Vincent turned around and walked back, then turned around again after walking a few steps.
You cannot sleep in the Black Lake, nor can you sleep by the lake.
But there is a Kraken in the lake, and it is as enthusiastic as the centaurs.
Go back to the tapestry and squat down.
"Hogsmeade!" Vincent stood up excitedly.
Aberforth and Nagini would be happy to take him in.
It's a pity that it's night now and it will disturb their normal rest.
He came back again with a troubled face.
As soon as I squatted down, I heard a "stuck" sound in my ear.
Vincent raised his head and stared blankly at the door that appeared out of thin air on the wall in front of him.
Hogwarts has existed for nearly a thousand years, and of course there is more than just the legend of the Chamber of Secrets.
It is said that in a certain corner of the castle, there is a door that can solve all problems.
There is no Fatty Blue's treasure bag inside. Instead, rooms can be arranged to solve different problems according to different problems.
If the legend is true, then there is a bedroom behind this door.
Vincent took a deep breath, stood up and walked forward slowly.
He reached out his hand and gently turned the doorknob.
Dim orange light leaked through the crack in the door, and there was a particularly pleasant fruity smell.
Large bed, night light, aromatherapy, standard bedroom configuration.
Indescribable joy surged into Vincent's heart.
Finally, I can finally sleep well.
He closed the door and flew towards the soft and comfortable bed.
"Wait..." Not long after he was happy, he became distressed again.
What's the way to get in?
With so many students passing by every day, there must be countless times that bother them.
"Let's talk after you wake up."
At worst, you can repeat the process just now, and if you can get in once, you can get in a second time.
…
…
After dawn,
Gryffindor girls dormitory.
Today is September 19th, Hermione's birthday.
Although she didn't have a party like last year, she was still in a good mood.
Just as I was about to get out of bed and wash up, a black owl flew over.
"Meow——" Crookshanks jumped on the window sill and tried to open the window with his paws.
Hermione picked up a bag of cookies on the bedside table, walked over to open the window, and put her index finger to her lips to signal them to be quiet.
The owls were very cooperative, put down the gifts, picked up the cookies and flew away.
It looks like there are a lot of them, but in fact there are only about twenty of them.
Hermione did not open the gift immediately, but went to the bathroom first.
When I came back, my roommates were all awake.
Lavender opened the drawer and presented gifts with Parvati.
"Happy birthday, Hermione."
"Thank you." Hermione put their gifts on the bed.
There is herbal medicine class at 9 o'clock, there is still a lot of time.
When the roommates came back from washing, she had already opened several gifts.
The gift package of prank props was undoubtedly sent by Fred and George, and the thick class notes should be from Percy.
Ron also prepared a gift for her, although it was just a birthday card.
Harry's gift is a hardcover edition of "The Encyclopedia of Practical Charms", which has 10 more spells than the regular edition.
Cedric's biggest gift is a half-meter-high cat climbing frame.
Crookshanks liked it very much. He immediately climbed to the top and squatted.
Lavender came up behind her quietly, "It seems you are very popular~"
I was so startled that I almost dropped a small, half black and half white gift box.
Hermione held it in her arms defensively, "No way, they are all my friends."
"Oh." Parvati sat next to her, "We didn't disturb you, did we?"
"Of course not." Hermione opened the gift box openly.
Inside is a necklace, and the pendant is a cute little lion.
"Wow!" Lavender exclaimed, "This is so beautiful!"
The lion is the symbol of Gryffindor House, and accessories are the first choice for girls.
Parvati secretly glanced at the note inside, her expression looking quite surprised.
"Vincent's gift? I didn't expect him to be quite understanding."
Hermione quickly put the note away, "He is planning to open an alchemy shop. Of course he has investigated the preferences of different age groups."
"Okay." Lavender stopped teasing her,
"But since it was given by Vincent, it should be more than just an ordinary necklace."
The apprentice of the legendary alchemist, maybe he was made of precious mithril.
Hermione's head was full of black lines, "This is memory alloy and has strong plasticity."
"What about this?" Parvati pointed to the cute little lion pendant.
Its luster is much brighter than that of the necklace, and its texture looks much better.
"This..." Hermione held the pendant in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully.
It is lighter than ordinary metal and does not have any magical runes engraved on it.
Ordinary decorations?
Don't say they don't believe it, she doesn't believe it either.
"Hurry up and take out the note. It should be written on it."
Lavender's intuition was very accurate, and Vincent did provide a brief introduction.
The main body of the necklace is memory alloy, but the little lion pendant is mixed with a little mithril.
With this metal having extremely demonic properties, the entire necklace can be molded into something else more easily.
As for how to fix the form, Hermione needs to do it herself.
Lavender and Parvati looked envious.
The appearance is perfect, and it can be shaped into other things at will.
Hermione has great hands-on skills, so there is no more suitable gift than this.
"Vincent is so kind to you."
"That's right, even mithril is mixed in."
Hermione put on the necklace and ignored her two sour roommates.
The length is also very suitable, just above the hourglass pendant of the time turner.
"Huh?" Lavender reached out suspiciously and picked up the time turner she had just stuffed back into her collar.
"This style of pendant... I always feel like I've seen it somewhere before."
Hermione nervously stuffed it back.
The expression on Parvati's face also became strange, "Hearing what you said, it seems a little familiar to me."
"Really?" Hermione tried hard to keep the smile on her face,
"This kind of pendant is very common in Muggle stores. It's normal for you to think it looks familiar."
Lavender narrowed her eyes, "Then why are you wearing two necklaces?"
"Is it weird?" Hermione suddenly felt confident.
"Professor Trelawney wears more than a dozen of them. Do you want to know why?"
"Uh..." Lavender was speechless.
After all, it is someone else’s hobby. You don’t have to like it, but you must respect it.
"Sorry," she looked away from Hermione's collar, "Maybe I made a mistake."
Parvati nodded slightly, "Don't be angry, we are just curious about where we saw it."
"It's okay." Hermione secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly made an excuse for herself:
"I bought it on Oxford Street. The price was a bit expensive, so I was so nervous just now."
"So that's it." Lavender and Parvati had no doubts.
