Snape thought that he had developed the ability to deal with Harry Potter's various rash, reckless, and brain-twitching words and actions.
But he still trembled when Harry said that they were going to elope.
Then he blurted out, "Where are we going?" Then he saw the crystal ball that Harry held in front of his face. He suddenly understood, but he still repeated, "Where are we going?"
Harry turned the crystal ball. "The farther, the better." Then he blinked.
"Professor, did you see where Tadis was today?"
That night, in the wee hours of the morning,
A dark shadow slipped through the promenade of Château Xavier. If someone had been watching at that time, they would have been scared.
He was afraid that he would be scared out of his wits because this black shadow was quite huge. It swayed unsteadily like a ghost, and when its long robe fluttered in the wind, four legs were dragged out from below.
Occasionally, there were shrill screams …
"Ah — Professor … Don't step on my feet …"
Snape couldn't bear it anymore. He pushed Harry out from under the robe and picked him up.
He tucked him under his arm and continued to walk forward.
He didn't understand. Could it be that two people walking together would be less of a target than walking separately? Or would the movement be quieter?
Because Hank's laboratory was moved to Château Xavier, Tadis was also sent here.
And Snape did it intentionally or unintentionally.
He did pay attention to where it was placed.
Because the timeline had been put away by Harry,
Tadis was now just a cumbersome aircraft. It was really not a dangerous item in the laboratory.
Therefore, it could not be said to be strictly guarded.
Snape casually found a reason to get the key to the laboratory from Hank.
After all, how could the serious and serious Professor Snape lie?
Harry thought to himself, 'The serious and serious Professor Snape is an experienced double agent.
After Snape took measures, the two finally slipped into the laboratory. After Harry was put on the ground, he reached out to touch the switch, but Snape glared at him. Then, the Potions Professor took out a light stick from his pocket and broke it. Harry looked at the blue stick. Before he could praise the intelligence of the former spy, he saw a black shadow floating out from the depths of the laboratory under the ghostly blue light.
"Harry ~ Potter ~" Spiritshadow's hair was disheveled as he floated in the air. He called out softly, but in the end, he did not step forward.
Harry instantly retreated into Snape's robe. At the same time, the latter held the light stick tightly and pointed it at the phantom. "What do you want?"
Phantom laughed in horror and continued to pinch his throat. "Harry ~ Potter ~"
Harry pulled the front of his robe and poked his head out. He struggled and said, "He has a master …"
Although he could not see the phantom's face, Snape could clearly see that the shadow stiffened for a moment, then began to sneer. "In that case, I'm leaving!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Snape was about to open his mouth to stop him, but he heard Harry say in a trembling voice, "Um, ghost sister … You can leave, but can you leave the key to us?"
"Ghost sister" turned around and threw a wig, which hit Harry's head. Then, she angrily pinched Harry's face. "How did you know that I have the key?"
Harry, who was no match for Hermione in terms of size and momentum, let the little witch pinch him. At the same time, he weakly explained, "Tadis has such an obvious big lock hanging on his neck, and you so 'coincidentally' caught me here. In theory, after defeating the Great Demon King at the last checkpoint, an important item will be dropped …"
From "Ghost sister" to "Great Demon King", Hermione, who had just removed her hand, pinched Harry's face again.
Snape, who did not intend to help, held a light stick and walked to Tadis. He found that there was indeed a brand-new copper lock hanging on the door, which should have been added by Hank. He had just waved the light stick at Tadis. Luckily, that kid had sharp eyes and saw it.
Hermione explained, "The key has always been with Principal Xavier, but this afternoon, he suddenly called me over and gave me the key. Even with Ron's brain, he could figure out that it has something to do with Harry …" She stopped pinching Harry's face, Hermione took out the key and handed it to Snape. "So, what's the plan?"
Harry rubbed his face and muttered, "There's no need for a plan to elope …"
Snape knocked his head with the key and then said to Hermione, "Potter's scar is connected to Nihon. If we let him stay here, I'm afraid that he will be a threat to the people in the Time Ring. We plan to go to another time ring to take refuge."
"Another time ring?" Hermione was surprised. She thought that Harry was planning to go to 2043. "But the time after 1993 should be Nihon's home ground, right?"
"So we'll go before 93, or … 60 years ago." Snape looked at the little witch calmly. "In fact, we'll go even further."
Hermione quickly recovered from her shock and said, "Fault." With the Time Ring as the boundary, Nihon could not track the time before Harry came to the Time Ring.
Snape nodded affirmatively. However, Hermione did not feel happy about answering the question correctly. Instead, she quickly glanced at Harry and then said seriously, "But it's too dangerous. Even with the Oulopolos timeline, traveling to the past is a very risky thing. It's not like traveling to the future … No one knows when the butterfly will flap its wings. Once you're involved in the storm, it's likely to cause the entire timeline to collapse." Hermione tried to explain the facts as calmly as possible.
"I know." Unlike Hermione's agitation, Harry smiled gently.
Hermione was stunned. Then she heard Harry's brisk tone. "We'll be very, very careful. And, Min, in fact, I want to create a storm."
"You —" Hermione was stunned.
"So you must wait for my news." Harry's smile did not change. He continued, "Because this will be the eye of the storm."
Naturally, since Hermione had already handed over the key, she could not stop the two people who were going to "elope." Although she was full of worries, under the faint blue light, Harry's calm and self-controlled smile made her speechless. Snape's earlier reminder made her unable to ask for anything from her friend.
Enough. It's enough. From the beginning, Harry was passively standing in the position of the savior. Everyone asked him for actions and plans. Hermione stood at the door of the laboratory and slowly recalled what had happened during this period. Although she did not understand the meaning behind Charles and Harry's words at first, she later understood the hints and understood how much Harry resisted the option of being the savior. However, what if there was no other option?
"I actually scolded him for his selfishness …" The little witch felt cold, so she tightened her cloak. Then she suddenly remembered the story about Oedipus King, and she missed the Hogwarts very much.
"Professor, look at the control panel." Harry casually moved the needle on the time axis to the Middle Ages, then shook out his holly wand from his cuff. He expanded the space inside the Tadis again and again. Based on his memory, he imitated the technological feel of Planet Curry, and it was a golden-red color scheme. Later, under Snape's vicious threat, he changed it to the color scheme of the four academies. To be honest, it was too gaudy.
It was easier to operate the replica Taddish than the original. Snape only needed to sit in the driver's seat and hold the joystick tightly. At the same time, he stared at the crystal ball fixed on the engine. When the needle passed the year 93, it created a storm like a snowball.
"How long will it take?" Snape estimated the time and found that they seemed to be running a long distance.
Harry came over with a set of clothes and said, "It will be much faster after the 20th century." He had never run so far before. "Professor, do you want to change your clothes?"
A dark green velvet coat, a white turtleneck shirt, a brownish-gray scarf, brown trousers and a matching vest. Snape rummaged through the pile of clothes and frowned. "I thought we were not going to the Victorian era?" The clothes looked like the costumes from Kamia's theatrical troupe.
But Harry held the clothes and put them in front of Snape with great anticipation. "But Professor, you will look very handsome in this set of clothes!"
The professor only felt that it was very suspicious that the clothes were exactly his size. However, the robe he wore from Green Town was not only a little wet, but also had a few footprints from Harry. It was indeed very uncomfortable to wear, so Snape did not resist. He got up and went into the lounge to change his clothes.
Looking at himself in the mirror, other than his gloomy face, he was still okay. Snape did not like to dress up, but he also liked this kind of old-fashioned gentleman's clothes.
When he came out, he was surprised to find that Harry had also changed his clothes: a fitted shirt, casual suspenders, a medium-length tweed jacket, deerskin boots and a brightly colored Turkish hat. When Snape came out, he was thinking about how to tie the bow tie. When he saw Snape come out, he was stunned.
Snape felt that he was old, so he was not sure if Potter's mouth was suspiciously drooling.
After putting on the bow tie, Harry jumped two steps in front of Snape and looked him up and down. Then, he clapped his hands and said, "I was wondering what was missing!" He turned and ran into the room, took out a pocket watch, and put it on Snape's vest. He took a step back and admired it. He sighed and said, "… So similar! Professor, do you want to consider getting a perm? "
After guessing the truth, Snape's face turned dark. He snorted and sat back in the driver's seat. The needle was approaching the year 1960.
"… What did you mean by what you said to Granger?" Although he was the one who proposed the idea of escaping, his original intention was to prevent Potter from turning into a tin can. However, Harry's words to Hermione seemed to have a deeper meaning.
Harry dragged a couch over and sat next to Snape. He smiled and said, "I just suddenly figured out a way to buy time."
Snape glanced at the crystal ball, turned sideways, and made a gesture that said, "I'd like to hear more."
Harry was also trying to clear his thoughts. He said slowly, "I thought about it for a long time and felt that what Ginny told me was not meaningless. And objectively speaking, the Oulopolos did help me a lot, especially his suicide directly caused the Time Ring to become a barrier for us. His fragments made time travel, including our elopement, possible …"
Snape frowned because of one of his words.
"… But the timeline diagram you drew reminded me of something, so I went back and thought about what Ginny said again. Fortunately, I remembered everything related to her quite clearly, and I didn't dare to forget a word she said. So I could clearly recall our conversation that day …" Harry stared at the point in front of him seriously. "Then I realized that I was so focused on thinking about the Three Pillars of Babel that I misunderstood the meaning of her words. When she said that we should buy time, she didn't mean that we should pull the Oulopolos to our side, but that we should buy time itself.
"I misunderstood Ginny. She is a reader. She is a storyteller. She is a storyteller. She is a person who can break through the text and symbols and touch the story directly. So to her, time is time, not the prisoner of time, not Ouroboros. What we should win over is time itself. "Harry let out a long sigh." She has been reminding me. "
Time could eliminate all meaning, but Ginevra was the rose of time. She was the meaning of time itself.
"Besides the scale, there are other ways to measure time …"
So, Ginevra crossed the river.
"… Making existence meaningful in time, this is the way to buy time."
After the needle passed 1900, it began to run rapidly. The bright white light outside the window mixed with purple and gold, stirring into a vortex. Tadis also coughed and shook. The two had to stop talking and get up to hold the lever together to prevent Tadis from going astray.
Snape pressed his upper body on the console and shouted at Harry, "We have the theoretical basis. What about the specific operation?"
The machine in the room was noisy, and Harry had to shout back, "Let's see!"
Probably because it was not used to running such a long distance for the first time, the closer they got to the destination, the more the needle swayed. Tardis also swayed even more. In the end, it was as if they were doing a disco dance. Snape was still alright, but Harry was directly thrown out. His head hit the wall, creating a big bump. However, the potion professor did not have the energy to take care of him. He only tried his best to stabilize the twitching control stick. What was more frightening was that in the midst of the chaos, he even saw that the time line in the crystal ball that had been glowing suddenly emitted a layer of dazzling light, and then burned with a "bang" …
Tadis stopped. At the same time, the console made a sharp braking sound. Harry found that the "bang" just now did not seem to come from inside the room, but from hitting something.
The two of them, one holding the wall and the other holding the console, looked at each other while panting, and signaled for the other to open the door.
Harry lost in the momentum of the look in his eyes, but he did not rush to open the door, afraid that he would be directly faced with a row of bayonets or something. First, he leaned against the window and looked out, and found that the Tadis seemed to have stopped on a beach. Outside was a large calm lake, and it did not look like a place with people.
"Maybe they hit a reef?" Relieved, Harry ran to the front and opened the door.
At first glance, he saw a man lying face down in front of the door, his arms stretched forward clearly showing his unwillingness and injustice …
