Around the school, not far away from Hagrid's house.
Six figures were standing in front of each other apparently arguing about something.
While another two were hiding not far away, behind them.
"Huh? What is happening here?" Perona beside Gray not far away turned her face left and right a few times and looked at the scene in front of them and felt confused.
The six figures are Harry, Ron, and Hermione who were arguing with Draco and his two good for nothing friends, while the two who were hiding behind are exactly Harry and Hermione...
Something is very wrong with this scene...
Perona wondered what the unusual scene Gray wanted to show her. And now she found its more confusing than unusual...
Gray looked at all this and smiled weirdly.
What is happening here?
Well... from the timeline point of view. The plot reached where Harry is about to meet Sirius Black soon, at the same time his future self trying to save Sirius Black with Hermione...
Harry and Hermione who were looking at themselves from the back should be Harry and Hermione from the future...
Hermione has a time turner she got before and has been using it all the time to take extra classes this year, and it's also her little secret.
Well... This little girl worked so hard, that almost made everyone look so lazy... No wonder she will become the future magic minister...
But right now, she's using the turner to go back and trying to change the past... Even though she's not sure how, but she's trying.
But can the past be changed like this?
Hermione should know how dangerous changing the past is...
And in fact, nothing really changed... But what she did is like a fact of reality.
In fact, time is more like a big trap... No one can change it, At least in the current level of power, nothing can really change the past...
The fact that her future self is here shows that what happened in the past, didn't really change...
For those who know the dangers of the time, know-how annoying the way it works.
Well... he himself mastered this skill and can use it even without a turner...
Though he didn't have any need to use it till now. But he also had a good understanding of the way this thing works.
The real timeline Hermione suddenly got angry at Draco and gave him a strong punch on his face, which scared Draco and his two friends to run away.
Which forced the future Hermione and Harry to hide... Since Draco is running toward them.
Hermione knows that she shouldn't let the real timeline she and Harry found them, or this might lead to damaging the timeline which will result in something like a rejection of time or even worst...
Which also why Gray thinks of time as a trap for those who understand it...
For a time traveler who wants to go to the past, they have to be extremely careful not to change anything will lead to change their own past... or what might happen can affect their own very existence...
But it's also true what they change is what happened... In fact, there is one truth that always annoyed Gray...
The fact that was said before... since she's here the future didn't change... Nor she changed anything... Nor she can really change it...
The only way to change the future of a current thing is to not change what happened in the past... Or more like... To let what happen really happen, and changed it without affecting what happens...
For example... If someone comes back to the past in order to save someone's life...
If he did... Then for what reason will his past try to go back and change? So he had to find a way to change it, without really changing it...
Got it?
For those messy facts, Gray already thought of them before... And already came up with many ways to use them... He only hopes that he never uses any of them... After all, changing the past means something he doesn't want to see already happened.
And reaching this point is not something he should reach, so he had to be more careful.
Perona saw Hermione's punch and laughed amusedly, as for Gray he smiled and thought maybe Hermione can also do good as a fighter...
So Gray and Perona followed them sneakily while watching everything happening with interesting eyes.
Under Gray and Perona's eyes, Harry and Hermione followed their own past and tried to find a way to change the future. Hermione realized the weird things that happened to her before, was actually her doing right now, so she started helping her past, in the way she remembers.
Like throwing a few stones to warn her past that they have to leave Hagrid's home. Getting annoyed about how her hair looks from the back... Or not... This is her persona feeling only, not really helping...
Then both of them saved the Hippogriff after the old fox Dumbledore gave them enough time to go away.
(The Hippogriff is a magical beast that had the front legs, wings, and head of a giant eagle and the body, hind legs, and tail of a horse. It looks so much like the Griffin.)
Just like Gray, Dumbledore is aware of what is happening here... After all, he was the one who started it...
And finally, both of them waited for their own past to go out of the house under the Whomping Willow tree.
Gray and Perona also stopped not far away only watching the whole process.
Gray couldn't' help but sighed about Hermione's actions... Again she showed him how smart she is...
Seeing Perona is still confused Gray explained what is happening to her, which made her more confused for a few seconds.
Then she asked about many things she couldn't understand, and Gray explained to her what he knows about the time for the time being. And after hearing everything, her eyes shined.
"Then... Can I send a ghost to the past self telling my past self what happened in the future?" Perona looked at Gray and said very smart words that were so smart which made Gray froze in his place...
What Perona said is very simple...
Create a ghost, then throw some of her memories to it, then as she did before, turn that ghost into a container to time spell, which will send the ghost to the past, and flew to where she was.
The past Perona will directly feel the future ghost since it's her own power, and like this, she will receive her future memories...
With this, the ghost itself will disappear as if it's not there from the very beginning, and her future that sent her the memories also not there anymore... And for her, it's like receiving a possibility of what might happen in the current future...
And receiving this possibility alone changed everything which also that future will not be real.. But the memories she received is more real than gold...
In other words... Perona might have found a bug... And a very good one...
"Perona... You became so smart!" Gray looked at Perona and said with a big smile.
Thinking of all this, Gray eyes shined excitedly and became so happy, which even made him kiss her cheek.
Yes... In this way, things won't be so troublesome... Even though it won't be a controllable action, almost like a passive skill that might appear anytime, but this will be many times better, if someday he met a really grave future, Perona's ghost will appear and inform them. Which will completely change that future... And there won't be any harm to them changing the future like time rejection, or whatever might happen... Because that future didn't happen, and what changed the future, is the ghost that will simply disappear after Perona receives the information of the future.
It's more like cheating the time itself.
Gray didn't notice that while he's busy thinking of how useful Perona's Time ghosts will be for them in the future, Perona put her hands on her cheeks that already became so red while thinking of messy things.
...
"Awoooooo" While thinking, a wolf sound appeared not far away from them which brought Gray back from his thoughts.
Looking at the tree side, Gray saw a tall white werewolf standing in front of Harry and the others ready to attack.
Looking at Professor Lupin who already became a wolf, Gray thought of something...
In these few months, Professor Lupin tried to help him many times to overcome the emotional problem... From his worlds... he's his teacher... so he wants to help his student...
This is a good man... Maybe he can try and help him with his werewolf problem...
"Shouldn't we help?" Perona looked at the scene in front of her and asked Gray beside her with a low tone... it can be seen, her mood is still a little chaotic right now...
"Yes... we really should help..." Gray said this and walked to the future Harry and Hermione who are ready to help their past again.
There are a few things he wants here... Let's not say this is also a chance to copy both Professor Lupin and Sirius Black...
Speaking of... Sirius Black is also an Animagus...
