Chapter 655: What little secret is there?
No matter how fast Fred and George ran, Vincent was never far behind.
According to Murphy's law:
Nothing is as simple as it seems;
Everything takes longer than expected;
What can go wrong will go wrong.
As expected, bad things happened, and the twins did not return the way they came.
They slowed down and smelled a faint aroma, much like barbecue.
I trained all afternoon and came out without dinner. I was running so fast just now.
"Gu——" I was so hungry that my stomach growled.
They looked in the direction of the smell.
There was a very faint light there, probably students who had sneaked out for a picnic.
But before I had taken a few steps, I suddenly smelled a disgusting stench that resembled a dung egg.
Fred and George quickly pinched their noses,
"Merlin's big pants! Who is so sexy!"
"It's so disgusting, let's go back quickly."
A new Hogwarts legend is born.
Maybe it was too disgusting to dip the barbecue into it, so they turned around and walked back quickly.
In the darkness, Vincent put away the broken eggshells and took off the gas mask on his face. Before he could take a breath, he became nervous again.
That direction...
Although it is far away, if you continue walking, you will definitely find the light again.
Hermione, who was catching up, slowed down, reached out and patted his shoulder, lowering her voice:
"According to what you said, in addition to stopping them, we can't let other people in the closed time loop notice anything."
She hesitated, "The longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be. In fact, we have a better way."
Vincent frowned, "There's a better way..."
Every time closed loop has a past self, they are all unique and know each other.
The changed past is just the past that you see now and think is the past.
The real past has not changed, what should be considered is how to keep the time turner secret.
Gambling on luck?
Let Fred and George wander around?
Or guide them away from safe spots?
Once is a coincidence, twice is an accident.
Rather than trying to prevent it as much as possible, it is better to actively intervene and decide the uncertain future.
"Huh -" After Hermione's reminder, Vincent was no longer so nervous.
He pulled out his wand and said, "Thank you, I understand what you mean."
The light on the tip of the staff illuminated the surroundings, and the two of them walked forward quickly without any scruples.
Fred and George felt the movement behind them, stopped and looked back at them.
"No, we have all traveled so far."
Seeing that the twins were about to run away, the two quickly stood still.
"Wait, let's go back together."
Fred and George were a little skeptical at first, but they walked quickly at the front, looking like they were in a hurry.
has a problem.
I was in a hurry, probably because I felt guilty.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk~" The twins ran forward and squeezed in between the two of them.
"Don't worry~ We will keep the secret for you two~"
"Huh?" Vincent's face was full of questions, "Secret? What secret?"
Hermione became nervous again.
Ron once said that their eldest brother Bill had obtained 12 O.W.Ls certificates, and he might have been qualified to use the time converter.
Was it discovered?
Alas - just discover it if you find it. As long as you don't talk about it everywhere, there should be no big problem.
"Hey~" George stretched out his hand and hooked Vincent's neck,
"You sneaked up to the Forbidden Forest at night, really just to test that alchemy arm?"
"What!?" Hermione's whole body tensed up and her reaction was particularly exciting.
Fred's eyes were ambiguous and he blinked at Vincent.
Don't say you don't have it now, even if you do, you won't do it secretly.
Hermione was embarrassed and angry and pushed away the twins who were approaching.
"I have a question, how did you know we were in the Forbidden Forest?"
The situation is a little bad.
"Yes - it was Neville who said you were outside the castle."
"Oh." Hermione lowered her little head so that no one could see her expression clearly.
"Then why don't you go to Black Lake?"
Fred and George pouted.
If you want to do something shady, the Forbidden Forest with lush trees is of course the first choice.
The Black Lake was bare and there was nothing to cover it.
Hermione suddenly raised her head and stared directly into their eyes, "Don't you think the alchemy factory is a secret?
What if Malfoy and the others discover it and it’s copied like Gwent?”
Fred and George lowered their heads as she stared at them.
Are you kidding, why are you so serious?
"Well, we haven't had dinner yet~"
The twins ran towards the castle with playful smiles.
Vincent gave Hermione a thumbs up.
Yes, you can cure the mischievous Wes in a few words. It seems that the rumors on campus are not groundless.
"What rumor?"
"Little grid."
Hermione raised her fist angrily and lightly hit his arm.
"If you hadn't been in a hurry to complete the test, we wouldn't have been so close to exposing the secret tonight."
Vincent covered the place where she hit him and took a deep breath, pretending to be in pain.
"It's okay, just keep going, I can handle it."
Hermione lowered her hands in confusion.
She is also responsible for this matter and there is no need to pursue it further.
Besides, she doesn't really want to care about anything.
Seeing her performance, Vincent felt completely relieved.
"Will you continue later?"
"certainly."

October 16,
The thing Lavender feared most happened.
After she received the letter from home early in the morning, she read it a few times and then screamed, waking up her roommates.
Hermione, who had not been asleep for long, sat up in confusion.
"what happened?"
Lavender, whose eyes were red, cried "Wow". Hermione and Parvati, who were completely sleepless, comforted her for a long time, but to no avail.
It's impossible to get some more sleep, but luckily it's Saturday.
I was joking last night that the prophecy was false, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this just after dawn.
Lavender took the tissue from them with great pain,
"The prophecy came true. I shouldn't have made that joke last night..."
She wiped it a little, then continued to cry.
Hermione picked up the tear-stained letter.
Lavender's interests and hobbies are the same as those of other little girls, and she likes all cute things in the world.
She raised a rabbit during this summer vacation, named Binky.
Hermione remembered hearing about it.
If it wasn't a bunny, there would be an adorable pet in their dormitory.
Unfortunately, something unfortunate happened.
Just the day before yesterday, a fox broke into Lavender's house and brutally bit Binky to death.
[By the way, the thing you fear most will happen on Friday, October 16th...]
Today is Saturday. Although the letter was sent yesterday, the incident happened the day before yesterday.
"The prophecy did not come true." Hermione swiped her hand on Lavender's back.
"Binqi's death has nothing to do with the joke you made last night. You see, the dates don't match up."
Lavender stopped crying and looked at the calendar on the bedside table.
It really doesn't match up. Is it because the owl delivered the letter late?
