Chapter 616: Time Reversal (First Update)

"Are you ready?"

Jerry asked, holding Hermione's hand.

Hermione, once again dressed in her evening gown and crystal slippers, nodded.

"Alright, let's go back!"

Jerry opened the panel and pressed the button to enter the Harry Potter mini-world.

The scene shifted, and the surroundings transformed back into the Grotto of Fairy Light outside Hogwarts Castle.

Seeing the pairs of young wizards chatting and bonding in various corners of the grotto, Hermione couldn't help but exclaim:

"I finally understand why you've grown so fast!"

Every time she saw Jerry, she noticed that he had grown much taller, and they had always assumed it was because he developed faster.

Now, after experiencing the transition through the mini-world and spending a month in Jerry's world, but returning to the exact point they left, Hermione realized it wasn't that Jerry developed faster; it was that he had more time to grow.

"To be honest, how old are you now?"

Hermione looked at Jerry with a curious expression.

Jerry was taken aback for a moment before smiling and saying:

"I haven't really calculated it, but I'm definitely older than you."

"Hmph, I always thought I was the older one, but I didn't expect you to be older."

Hermione pouted. Her birthday was on September 19th, making her one of the oldest witches in her year. If she had been born nineteen days earlier, before September 1st, she would have been in the year above Jerry.

So, according to the normal age distribution of their year, she was actually the oldest in the entire fourth year.

Everyone was her junior, including Jerry.

However, since Jerry could travel through the mini-world, his actual age definitely surpassed hers, which was why she said that.

"Let's go dancing!"

Seeing the lights shining from the castle, Hermione, without waiting for Jerry to respond, pulled him toward the Great Hall for the Christmas Ball.

Unlike the other young wizards who came to the grotto to rest and socialize after dancing, they had been away from the Christmas Ball for a whole month.

"Slow down, be careful you don't fall."

Watching Hermione, who was wearing crystal slippers and holding up her gown, excitedly running toward the castle, Jerry reminded her with a hint of helplessness.

No matter how mature Hermione was in her heart, she was still a fifteen-year-old girl in the prime of her youth.

When they arrived at the Great Hall again, it was much quieter than when they had left, with only a few professors and students remaining. The fast-paced rock music had been replaced by a gentle waltz.

Hermione led Jerry to the center of the dance floor and, under the colorful magic lights, they locked eyes and began a graceful waltz.

Snape, who had never left his seat to join the dance, watched Jerry and Hermione on the dance floor. He took a sip of his mead and fell into a reverie.

Back then, if he had been like Jerry, not so fixated on blood purity and Dark Magic, he might have been able to get along well even with a Gryffindor witch. Perhaps Lily wouldn't have left him for that arrogant Potter.

Over the years, as he watched Jerry and Hermione's journey and their eventual happy union, he couldn't help but reflect on his own past mistakes.

He and Lily had known each other since childhood, even though they ended up in different houses. If he had been more like Jerry, not caring about such things, it wouldn't have mattered which house they were in.

Slytherin and Gryffindor often shared classes, and Lily, like Hermione, was a witch who loved to study. In those days, he was willing to accompany Lily in her extracurricular studies, spending more time with her than Lily did with Potter.

Just like Jerry and Hermione, the two were almost inseparable, except when they were sleeping or in separate classes.

Unfortunately, it was all too late. It was all too late, and Lily had long since left this world.

"Severus, don't keep dwelling in the sorrow of the past. You're only in your thirties, the youngest Headmaster in Hogwarts history. Many witches like you. Sometimes, you should give yourself a chance, and give others a chance."

At that moment, a figure appeared beside Snape. It was the former Headmaster, Dumbledore, who had just returned from another dance to take a break.

He sighed, looking at Snape, who had not entered the Christmas Ball since it began.

As a master of Potions and the current Headmaster of Hogwarts, Snape's social status among witches was not low, and there were always witches who liked him.

However, due to Lily Evans' death, he had completely frozen his heart.

Dumbledore hoped Snape could find a new partner and resolve this heartache, not only because of their years of friendship, but also because he believed that if Snape could start a new relationship, it would help make up for his personality flaws and make him a better Headmaster of Hogwarts.

However, Snape shook his head as usual. His heart had died the moment Lily did, and it could no longer accommodate anyone else.

On the other side, Jerry, who had just finished dancing with Hermione and was resting nearby, perked up his ears.

He had heard everything Snape and Dumbledore had said, thanks to his exceptional hearing.

"Perhaps it's time to find a way to help Professor Snape!"

Having been greatly assisted by Professor Snape in his magical studies, Jerry did not want Snape to end up as lonely as Dumbledore, especially since Snape was not that old.

In the past, he would have been powerless, but now, with his understanding of the world's laws, some things that were once impossible might now be possible.

At eleven o'clock, the Christmas Ball officially ended, and all the young wizards returned to their respective dormitories.

Jerry and Hermione were no exception.

However, after Jerry escorted Hermione back to the Gryffindor dormitory, he did not rush to sleep like the other young wizards. Instead, he used a Phantom Shift to appear outside the castle and then took out the Time Turner.

"Time, reverse!"

Using the Sands of Time within the Time Turner and his current mastery of the laws of time, Jerry began to reverse time on a large scale.

Not just a day or two, but years.

The fundamental law of time in the Harry Potter world was that once something happened, it could never be changed. Therefore, he could not alter Lily Evans' death.

However, with his recent understanding of the world's laws, he believed he could make some adjustments.

He was not trying to resurrect Lily Evans. Even if he did, she would still love James Potter, not Snape, and that would be unfair to Harry.

He just wanted to give Snape a chance, a chance to start anew.
