The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

With Menis' promise, Tom could naturally make a request to him. He took out a roll of parchment from his arms and handed it to Menes.

"This is how I found the time turner. Can you make this kind of item?"

Menes did not answer him immediately, but took the sheepskin scroll, put the small golden ball in his hand, and read the words on the scroll while shaking it. It looks like that ball can translate not only sounds, but text as well.

"Time turner?" Hermione's eyes widened in surprise when she heard Tom's request. She had seen this scroll before: it was the reward that Tom received in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets. She didn't expect that Tom would want Menis to help him refine such a thing.

However, if it is really made, it will definitely be an incredible alchemical creation, Hermione thought.

"Okay." Menis agreed immediately after reading the scroll Tom gave him, as if it was just a trivial matter to him.

"You should have taken two bottles of Sands of Time from my pyramid, right?" He poured himself a glass of beer leisurely - in Tom's opinion, it looked more like fermented barley porridge, "Bring it over."

After receiving the Sands of Time from Hermione and Tom, Menes glanced at the two narrowly, waved to the pool in the hall, and a bubble wrapped in a goldfish floated up. When the bubbles floated in front of him, he asked Catwoman to get two gold chains and put them on his table.

He held the bubble in his hand. The liquid water was like gel in his hand, soft but not loose. He threaded a gold chain through the bubble and made it into a necklace. He put the finished necklace aside, then casually combined the sand in the two crystal bottles together, and "pinched" the bottles into an hourglass. There was a small valve in the middle of the hourglass to control the flow rate. He also put this hourglass through a chain and made it into a necklace.

As the chain was put on, there was a flash of light on the hourglass.

All this was achieved without a wand, and Tom and Hermione were stunned to see Menis's wandless spellcasting skills shocking them. To them, this ability to cast spells without a wand is truly amazing. It is not difficult for Tom to cast the Flying Charm without using a wand, but he cannot do the transfiguration without a wand or the ability to turn a water ball into a solid state. And if Tom guessed correctly, Menis had already completed the time turner, although he didn't see any additional actions.

"Take it." He let the two necklaces float in front of Tom and Hermione. "Open the hourglass, and the goldfish will step into the river of time and start retracing time. When the sand at the top ends, the goldfish will stop - this When the time comes, you have to turn the hourglass over, and when the sand below is finished leaking out, the goldfish will take you back to the original point in time."

Tom \u0026 Hermione:!

This time turner looks awesome!

Hermione just thought its design was interesting, but it also had the ability to travel through time, which felt a little strange. Tom was overjoyed: the time turner Menis made for him was not the same style as the ones collected by the Ministry of Magic. . The Ministry of Magic's time turner can go back one hour in a circle, up to five hours - beyond five hours, the risk of time travel will greatly increase. Moreover, the converter on the Ministry of Magic's side cannot actively recover after traveling through time. If you go around three times, you have to wait three hours. He doesn't need to do this. He wants to go back early. He just needs to adjust the valve to make the sand in the hourglass leak faster.

Both time turners have pros and cons.

The Ministry of Magic's converter is more convenient to operate and has a more accurate range. Tom's converter has a higher degree of freedom and a wider range for traveling back. More importantly, it is a private converter that belongs to Tom and Hermione. The one at the Ministry of Magic is for public use, so if you want to use it, you have to report it.

And Menis’s alchemy level is also very good! After Tom accepted the converter, he realized: This is a time converter! Items that touch the realm of time! Its refining involves very advanced and complicated magic, so Menis made it as if it were made by hand?

Looking at Tom's gaze, Menis said with a smile on his face, "This is the ability inherited in my blood. For our family, alchemy is like instinct, but my descendants seem to have tried to summarize the art of alchemy." Mysterious..."

It turns out it’s talent, so it’s okay—goodbye! Facing talented players, Tom really has no choice at all.

After getting the two necklaces, Tom thought for a moment, gave the necklace with the gold fish water ball to Hermione, and put on the hourglass necklace himself.

"Come on, let's try it." After talking about the main business, Menis began to recommend various foods on the table to Tom. Next, Menis warmly entertained the two of them and allowed them to taste various specialties. The two stayed here for a few days before saying goodbye and leaving.

Before leaving, Tom looked at Menis.

"I will definitely not reveal this to the outside world." He promised Menis seriously that he would keep his affairs secret.

"No!" Menis quickly waved his hand to stop him. "Life here day after day is very boring. It would be nice to have some new people come in to relieve my boredom."

"Why don't you go out for a walk?"

Faced with this question, Menis just smiled and did not answer. Tom immediately understood that Menis's method of immortality probably came with a huge price. This price prevented him from breaking away from his own time loop.

"Okay, before I change my mind, please come back!" Menis made a gesture of invitation. It was obvious that he was a little reluctant to give up. In the past few days, he had been exposed to many novel things, which were even fun. I don't want to let these two people go back.

Tom and Hermione walked into the pond as before and returned to the pyramid with the help of the golden fish. Then he passed the mechanism at the end of the pyramid and returned to the surface.

By this time, Dr. Hunter and the other three had already left the city.

The mechanisms on the ground have been restored to their original state. After Tom pulled out the cat statue in the middle from the mechanism, he found two camels in the ruins and rode them out of the Sahara Desert.

They retraced their steps and returned to Aswan again: the cat statue was just a mortgage loan, and they now want to return it to its original owner. After all, a family heirloom is not a glorious thing. However, when they returned to the night market, they found that the store was empty and even the owner had changed. According to the new shop owner, the father and son seemed to have made a fortune and sold the shop overnight and disappeared...

Now that the original owner has disappeared, the cat sculpture naturally belongs to the creditor Hermione.

Tom stuffed the statue into Hermione's arms, looked at the sunset in the sky and said, "It's time to go back to London."
