Chapter 317: Time-Turner (Second Update)

Just as all the young wizards, including the first-year students led by Hagrid, entered the Hogwarts gates and were taken to the waiting room next to the Great Hall by Professor Mcgonagall, a young figure in a witch's robe appeared out of nowhere on a dark path not far from the gates.

"So this is time magic? How fascinating!"

The young figure held a golden necklace with a small hourglass, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He then tucked away the hourglass, pointed his wand, and whispered a spell:

"Expecto Patronum!"

A corporeal Patronus appeared before him effortlessly.

"Too conspicuous, suppress! Shadow!"

The young figure looked at the glowing Patronus and cast another spell, first suppressing the magical aura it emitted, then making the shadow it cast envelop the Patronus, leaving only two glowing fists visible.

At that moment, the two Dementors guarding the gate seemed to sense something and floated toward the path where the young figure stood.

However, before they could reach him, two glowing fists struck them in the face.

"Bang, bang!"

The two Dementors were knocked to the ground by the powerful force.

The special restraining power in the fists caused the Dementors to let out sharp, agonized screams.

But before they could cry out, a faint incantation echoed through the air: "Silence!"

Thus, the Dementors' screams were silenced before they could be heard.

After a furious beating, Jerry approached the two near-dead Dementors and imprinted a binding array on them.

"Alright, go and bring the other Dementors, two at a time!"

After the successful binding, the young figure instructed the bound Dementors, who nodded obediently and flew off to the other Dementors guarding the castle.

Two hours later.

"Almost done. I'll be out soon, so I'll hide somewhere else for now."

After binding all the Dementors around the castle, the young figure rubbed his slightly aching head, activated the Disillusionment Charm, and vanished on the spot.

"I've been binding too many magical creatures recently. I need to take a break and wait for my soul strength to improve before I can bind more."

Two hours earlier, inside the castle.

The Sorting Ceremony and the Opening Feast were held as usual, with the only notable change being the arrival of a new batch of first-year students.

If there was anything worth mentioning, it would be the two announcements Dumbledore made before the feast began.

The first announcement was about the Dementors. Dumbledore had clearly compromised with Fudge, agreeing to allow Dementors to guard every entrance and exit of the school to prevent Sirius Black from entering. He also sternly warned the young wizards to avoid conflict with the soul-sucking Dementors to prevent mental and emotional harm. As he said this, he glanced at the Gryffindor table.

The second announcement was that Professor Kettleburn, the Care of Magical Creatures teacher, had retired, and the position would be taken over by Hagrid, the Gamekeeper, who had recently regained his magical abilities.

After the feast, Jerry was about to return to the Slytherin dormitory with Malfoy and others when Snape called him in the Entrance Hall.

"Jerry, come with me to the Headmaster's Office!"

At the same time, Hermione, who was about to go upstairs, was called over by Professor Mcgonagall.

Jerry understood that this was likely about the Time-Turner. Snape had promised to apply for a Time-Turner to assist with his studies, and Professor Mcgonagall had done the same for Hermione.

Sure enough, under the guidance of Professor Mcgonagall and Professor Snape, Jerry and Hermione soon received their Time-Turners in the Headmaster's Office.

"You are the most outstanding students I have ever seen. Therefore, Professor Snape and I specially requested these Time-Turners from the Ministry of Magic to give you more time for your studies.

However, I must warn you solemnly that time magic is extremely dangerous and unstable. Misusing a Time-Turner can lead to catastrophic consequences, not only for yourselves but for others as well.

Therefore, I hope you will carefully remember every rule I am about to tell you regarding the use of the Time-Turner."

After handing the Time-Turners to Jerry and Hermione, Professor Mcgonagall carefully explained the rules for using the device.

The Time-Turner looks like a golden necklace with a small hourglass attached, and it bears an inscription: "I mark every inch of time, but never surpass the sun. My value to you is measured by your purpose."

Each rotation of the hourglass turns back time by one hour, with a maximum of five hours.

It's not that you can't go back further, but exceeding five hours would have a significant impact on the fabric of time, leading to extremely dire consequences.

According to Professor Mcgonagall, if you go back more than five hours, there is a high risk of disrupting the laws of time, which could result in your past and future selves being erased, meaning you would vanish instantly.

Even if you are lucky enough not to disappear, you might suddenly age to the point of having only a few days left to live, or you might cause the disappearance of others.

Therefore, the Ministry of Magic has hundreds of laws and regulations governing the use of Time-Turners.

The most important rule is that when using a Time-Turner to go back in time, you must not meet your past self, as this can cause temporal anomalies and dangerous situations.

There is one thing Professor Mcgonagall didn't mention, but Jerry knew: the Time-Turner cannot change what has already happened. When you use a Time-Turner to go back in time, the events you cause to happen have already occurred.

"Professor, we understand!"

Upon hearing Professor Mcgonagall's explanation, Jerry and Hermione nodded in unison.

Professor Mcgonagall looked at Jerry and Hermione with a serious expression, but her face showed satisfaction. Both were exemplary students, and Jerry, in particular, was exceptionally mature, which she trusted implicitly.

"I believe in you, but you must also swear not to tell anyone about the Time-Turner, including Harry and the others!"

After making this final promise, Professor Mcgonagall concluded her instructions.

"Miss Granger, you may go back to rest now. Jerry, please stay a moment longer; we have some questions for you."

Seeing that Professor Mcgonagall was finished, Snape stepped forward and spoke.

Hermione gave Jerry a worried look, nodded, and left the Headmaster's Office.

The Headmaster's Office is on the Eighth Floor, and the Gryffindor common room is also on the Eighth Floor. So, Hermione left the office and walked around the castle to return to the Gryffindor common room.
