Sean turned his hands back and forth in shock. The hands he had used for more than ten years became more slender, and his forearms were obviously longer!
He suddenly looked up at himself in the mirror in disbelief.
The self in the mirror actually made him feel familiar yet strange.
Sean Wallop, obviously taller in the mirror, his face is still the same, but the outline has become more distinct. His curly black hair, which was not long at first, has grown a lot now.
, almost hanging down to the back of the neck.
And the silk pajamas that Mrs. Wallop and her sister Ella picked out for him now no longer fit him at all.
The loose pajamas on the upper body have turned into a tight jacket, and the pajamas on the lower body are tightly tied around the waist, with a section of the calf exposed underneath.
Sean touched his ribs again, where several ribs were broken due to the tail flick of the Selma Lake Monster. Even if Sean used magic and potions to heal, the fractured ribs would still take some time to heal.
The human body repairs itself.
However, the ribs that were still aching slightly yesterday no longer felt any pain. Sean pressed hard and there was no pain at all.
Did the ribs grow on their own?
"What the hell..." A curse word came out of Sean's mouth, but he was immediately startled subconsciously.
The voice has changed too?!
He tried making other sounds, and was surprised to find that his original voice at the end of his voice-changing period had become significantly more magnetic and mature.
This... Sean's eyes flashed, and he thought of a possibility.
He quickly raised his watch and saw that today, which was supposed to be the second day of Christmas, which was December 26th, suddenly became December 25th.
Could it be...
Sean quickly took out the age measuring ball and brought the crystal ball that once dropped more than two hundred snowflakes in front of Grindelwald close to him.
One piece, two pieces, three pieces...
The number of snowflakes stopped at fifteen.
And Sean was born in 1979...
Now the time has become 1994?!
Today is not the normal December 26th, 1993, but December 15th, 1994!
The day after Christmas turned into Christmas…
Time has sped up by one year?!
This astonishing fact made Sean's pupils feel like an earthquake. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
The magic power has also changed!
Sean has to practice high-intensity magic spells every day. He knows the source of his magic power very well, but as soon as he closes his eyes, he immediately feels a huge increase in magic power!
Moreover, this extra magic power is not unfamiliar at all, it can be wielded like Sean's other magic powers!
"It's really been a year..." Sean opened his eyes and muttered to himself.
"Sean! Sean! Sean!" Just when he was slightly absent-minded, a familiar girl's voice sounded outside, calling him loudly across the corridor of the dormitory.
Daisy was calling herself urgently.
Sean quickly grabbed his robe and ran out quickly.
In the hall, Daisy was the only one standing there alone. With tears in her eyes, she was staring helplessly in the direction of the boys' dormitory.
"Daisy, what's wrong?" Sean's robe was halfway pulled on. As soon as he asked, he was hugged by a warm body.
"Wow, Sean, am I going to die?" Daisy threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.
"What's wrong? Tell me, don't worry."
Daisy raised her head with tears in her eyes: "My, my magic power suddenly increased a lot... Is it, is the blood curse coming back... Oh, I don't want it, I don't want it... I want to go to school well, I
I want to live a good life with my parents, Harry, and I want to be with you and Hermione... ugh..."
The girl cried so sadly, her face was full of panic and fear.
This girl who didn't even cry when she was cursed by blood curse and Obscurus at the same time, cried while hugging Sean.
Sean wanted to make a joke with her and tell her that it was just a change in time, but he could feel the violent trembling of the little white flower in his arms and the extremely panicky emotion.
His heart tightened, he hugged Daisy softly, and said warmly: "No, you are fine, it's not a blood curse. Do you remember the time accident that happened before? It happened again this time, and the changes were even bigger. I didn't
If you guess wrong, everyone's time will be accelerated by one year."
After hearing "It's not a blood curse", Daisy looked up blankly, with tears in the corners of her eyes, but there was great joy in them.
"Really, really?" she sobbed.
"Really," Sean smiled and patted her head. "Didn't you stop taking the potion to treat the sequelae of the blood curse after you graduated from the first grade? Whether it was Professor Dumbledore, Professor Snape or
Your mother, they all said that you are safe and you have nothing to do with the blood curse anymore."
"Besides," Sean winked at her, "you were so focused on feeling the magic, why didn't you pay attention to other changes in yourself?"
"Change?" Daisy looked naive. She sniffed hard, hesitantly let go of Sean and looked at herself.
"Ah!" the girl exclaimed.
Daisy, who hurriedly ran out, was still wearing her nightgown. She had grown taller, her long red hair had fallen to her waist, and her originally delicate and lovely face became even more beautiful.
The originally loose nightgown became a close-fitting style, with only a faint collarbone exposed under the snow-white neck.
And down... Sean raised his eyebrows.
This little girl is much more talented than Hermione...
"Ah!" Daisy exclaimed and hugged her chest.
"I, why don't I feel anything?!"
Sean looked away in time, spread his hands and explained: "Look at me, there is something different. I think the acceleration of time also brings about the adaptation of the human body. When I first got up, I didn't notice anything was wrong with me.
, it’s like I grew up naturally for a year.”
"You must have habitually summoned your clothes with magic spells as soon as you got up, so you noticed the increase in magic power, right?"
Daisy's face turned red and she muttered: "I don't need to curse anymore to be lazy..."
Knowing that her magic power was not increased due to the recurrence of the blood curse, Daisy breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she became worried again: "Why is this accident so serious... The first time it was just that time disappeared and time lengthened... This time, it is equivalent to everyone's time disappearing for a year."
It must be because little Grindelwald saw that memory of the future, which must involve important matters about the future, otherwise this accident would not be so serious.
However, Sean never expected that a year of acceleration would be the impact Dumbledore mentioned.
He secretly smiled bitterly, and yes, the process of restoring the world's will is almost equivalent to reshaping a new world, which means destruction for the current world.
In the face of the destruction of the world, the time of the entire world is accelerated by one year, which seems to be a controllable impact...
He sighed and said to Daisy: "I don't know the specific principle, but no one can explain the real secret of magic... By the way, didn't you go find Hermione?"
Daisy blinked her eyes, there were still some tears in the corners of her eyes, and when she blinked, there was a sense of pity that made people want to soften.
"When I think of the recurrence of the blood curse, I, I think of you immediately..." Xiao Baihua said, poking her finger.
"Ah, yes," Sean smiled, "But it seems we have to call out all the classmates..."
"Everyone will be scared..."
A moment later, all kinds of exclamations could be heard in the Ravenclaw common room.
No, not just Ravenclaw, the entire Hogwarts Castle, the entire UK, and the entire world were panicked.
People kept waking up from deep sleep or being absent-minded. They looked at themselves in panic, at their children who suddenly grew up, at their parents who suddenly became older, and even the more terrifying reality... But around them
The buildings and cars have not changed.
Only the number representing the year jumped from 1993 to 1994 and was about to enter 1995.
The world is still running according to its laws, but all living individuals have accelerated by one year.
People walked to the streets in confusion and panic, not knowing what was going on.
There are ignorant children shouting excitedly with their friends: "I have grown up! I have grown up!"
A newly pregnant mother woke up and saw an extra baby under her body, and the couple was panicked and at a loss.
There are parents who have just given birth to a child and are looking at their baby in despair: "We missed the year when the child grew up..."
There was a patient who was lying on the hospital bed and lost his breath forever. His family members roared outside: "My father! That's my father! Why! You told me, he could have survived for another half a year! Now my child even
Couldn't see the last of his grandfather!"
The roar was followed by sad sobs.
Countless insects with life cycles of less than a year died immediately the moment the world returned to normal, and then new lives were quickly hatched.
Joy, anger, sorrow, joy, nothing can be expressed, nothing can be said.
At the same time, a large number of safety accidents have occurred all over the world, and this does not seem to be the normal state of the world.
In the messy and noisy castle, Sean was observing a potted plant in the yard.
The plants did not grow taller, and the wooden pots did not age normally for a year.
However, he just saw a bird suddenly falling from the sky. Looking at its tail feathers, he could tell that this old bird did not have long life.
Sean frowned.
Can it be understood that all living beings with consciousness have been accelerated by one year, while those plants and inanimate individuals without consciousness will not undergo such time acceleration?
Moreover, Sean noticed something.
This situation does not seem to be called time acceleration. It is more like a conscious living body being directly deprived of a year!
Take himself as an example. If he wants to grow taller, he needs energy, but the energy in his body before falling asleep is obviously not enough to support a year's growth.
Can we think that this year has been deprived of time, but the world has made accurate judgments on everyone.
Sean was originally fourteen years old and is now fifteen. The world has given him the changes he deserves.
It's normal for him to grow taller. It's normal for him to go through the period of voice change. It's still normal for his magic power to increase. And his healed ribs are also within the normal range, because according to Sean's body, his
It is normal for the ribs to heal completely.
All his changes were reasonable, but he did not expend the energy required for these changes.
The world has been deprived of the concept of time, but it has left traces of time on conscious living individuals.
"Huh..." Sean let out a heavy breath.
If your guess is accurate, then people in the world will face many problems now.
The world will think you can recover from a small cold, but what if it is a terminal illness? Will many people lose their lives forever when the world returns to normal...
And in the magical world, will there be an Obscurus that breaks out in an instant?
While this is indeed a reasonable process,...
Sean was silent and his breathing became heavier.
I wonder what’s going on with my parents. As for Ella, has she grown a lot taller too?
"Sean! Professor Dumbledore asked everyone to gather in the auditorium." Someone called him in the corridor.
Sean turned his head and saw Hermione. Now Hermione was taller and her whole temperament had changed from a cute girl obsessed with studying to a more charming and dazzling girl.
"What are you looking at me for—" Hermione looked unconcerned, but she hugged her chest in embarrassment.
Sean smiled: "It becomes more dazzling every year, Miss Granger."
The corners of Hermione's mouth curved, and then she wrinkled her nose in distress: "I missed a year of school... I wasted a year that could have been spent reading..."
Sean patted his forehead: "You are the only one who is still thinking about this."
The two of them walked to the auditorium while talking.
At this time, all the students had gathered together, and now there was no distinction between colleges. Everyone was standing together in a mess, and many of them were even wearing pajamas and nightgowns.
Hermione went over and took Daisy's hand, and Sean walked to the side and looked towards the center of the auditorium.
Dumbledore was standing in the middle of everyone. He seemed to be the only one who had not changed much. Even Snape's hair was longer and greasier.
"Calm down, my children." Dumbledore opened his hands and his voice spread throughout the auditorium.
This was the first time that Dumbledore's words had no effect, and all the students fell into panic.
Dumbledore did not use a loud voice, but just spoke warmly over and over again to calm the students down.
After a long time, a trace of calm returned to the auditorium.
"Children," Dumbledore opened his hands, "I know that everyone here has just experienced something incomprehensible. Yes, I can tell you very clearly that everyone has lost a year.
time."
The auditorium suddenly exploded.
After another long period of noise, Dumbledore's voice overcame the others: "There are too many unknowns in the magical world, but please forgive me, as your principal, I can't answer more for you."
"But I can tell you one thing, this time accident at least has a benign direction."
