Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 245 Time Converter

Tyrell soon found himself in his third summer vacation at Hogwarts, a summer that arrived unexpectedly quickly—

Tierra only stayed in the university hospital for three days before being admitted to the most luxurious ward in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sicknesses, escorted by the Ministry of Magic and Gilderoy Lockhart.

This ward was supposedly reserved for the Minister of Magic, but Cornelius Fudge, a man of great generosity and compassion for his people, generously gave it to Tyella.

Undoubtedly, the Daily Prophet gave Cornelius Fudge a huge report on his generosity, almost to the point of portraying him as a saint reborn or Jesus returning.

The day after Tierra was admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries, Cornelius Fudge, accompanied by Rita Skitta, a special correspondent for the Daily Prophet, Barty Crouch, the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Amelia Burns, the Deputy Director, Rufus Slynjak, the head of the Oro Command, and five other members of the Wizengamor administration, went to investigate the attack on Tierra.

As expected, according to the deal between Tyrell and Cornelius Fudge, he did not testify against Peter Pettigrew, nor against Sirius Black, but instead told the investigators at the Ministry of Magic—

"A blurry figure attacked me."

That's enough; it won't offend Dumbledore, and it will also allow Cornelius Fudge to give a satisfactory explanation to the outside world.

As long as the one who attacked Tiera wasn't Peter Pettigrew, who died twelve years ago and was posthumously awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class.

In return, Connelly Fudge brought Tierra's Order of Merlin Second Class Medal and a front-page headline in the Daily Prophet praising Tierra.

Tierra: The New Savior

Tierra was incredibly embarrassed reading this, and then she thought about the author of the article—

Rita Skita.

Oh, no wonder.

So it's my future model organism, huh? Well, then I have no complaints.

On the fifth day of Tierra’s stay at St. Mungo’s Hospital for Magical Injuries, Dumbledore arrived at his room with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Also present were Gilderoy Lockhart, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge, and the two Silences from the Department of Mysteries, Bode and Crook, who followed behind him.

It's clearly a preparation for handing over the time converter.

Cornelius Fudge looked relaxed and cheerful, and even greeted Dumbledore with a smug look, as if he had won a duel with Dumbledore.

But the others weren't in the same good mood as Cornelius Fudge.

Dumbledore still wore that enigmatic, benevolent smile, while Hermione and Ron looked worried, and Harry initially appeared furious—

Clearly, Harry had also read the article in the Daily Prophet and received an official notification from the Ministry of Magic.

He was both confused and angry at Tyella's explanation, so when Harry entered Tyella's room, he had an angry look on his face.

But when he saw Tiera, his anger vanished instantly, replaced by worry and heart-wrenching sorrow.

“You…cough…Tiera…how are you?” Harry asked cautiously. “You…”

“I’m fine, thank you for coming to see me, Harry.” To avoid Dumbledore asking questions he hadn’t yet answered, Tyrell gave a pitiful, mournful smile.

Harry felt a sharp pain in his heart.

“No one…no one blames you, Tyella…” Hermione whispered comfortingly. “We…we…Harry understands you…in that situation…you really…really had no other choice…”

Hermione was clearly referring to the fact that Peter Pettigrew had not been implicated.

"Thank you... thank you Hermione..." Tierra feigned a tearful expression, "I... I didn't want to... but..."

“It’s alright, Tyella…it’s all right now…” Harry walked over, hugged Tyella, and patted her back gently, saying, “Nobody blames you…”

Harry's last bit of anger completely dissipated. After that, the three of them comforted Tyella for a while, and then left St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sicknesses under the urging of Dumbledore and Cornelius Fudge, leaving behind only Dumbledore, Gilderoy Lockhart, Cornelius Fudge, and the two staff members of the Department of Magical Mysteries.

“There are two things in total,” Cornelius Fudge said with a smile, then turned slightly to the side. “First…”

Bode, who was standing behind him, stepped forward and placed a small box in front of Tierra.

Tierra raised her right wooden arm—

This is the temporary right arm installed for him by the St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries. It is made of precious elderwood, firstly to absorb and neutralize the dark magic power in Tiera's wound, and secondly to keep the flesh and blood in Tiera's arm active and prevent the nerves from closing, so that when he is transplanted with an alchemical arm that can be used for a long time in the future, the nerves will not need to be cut open again.

Tierra opened the small box with her wooden right hand—

Inside was a small, shiny gold timer, and a long, delicate gold chain.

It was the Time Converter. Tierra carefully picked it up, examining it from left to right in her palm. Although her face remained expressionless, anyone could see the joy in Tierra's eyes.

“But there’s another document that you need to sign,” said Croc, another taciturn member of the Department of Mysteries, as he pulled a pale yellow parchment and a quill pen that was clearly enchanted from his briefcase.

“Theoretically speaking, it is illegal to use the Unbreakable Curse on minors, but we have to guard against your improper use.” Croc said after watching Tiera sign the document. “So this is just a warning contract. If the time converter is damaged or the time reversal exceeds 24 hours, we will know immediately, and the Silent Ones will be dispatched to retrieve the time converter. So please use it with caution according to the instructions in the user manual.”

“Yes, Mr. Silent One,” Tiera said obediently, then pulled the chain of the Time-Turner and put it around her neck.

“And here I am too,” Dumbledore said, taking out a piece of parchment and placing it in front of Tyella. “The school also needs you to sign a document… a simple record, promising that you will not use the Time-Turner for any other purpose.”

"Oh... okay." Tiera picked up the quill pen the Silent One had given her again—

"Wait a moment." Dumbledore said, taking out a pen and placing it in front of Tierra. "Use this one. It's just a filing document; it doesn't need any magic."

Tyrell looked at the pen Dumbledore had given her with a puzzled expression, then began to write—

No! No?
How could it not be?

After Tyrell signed her name, she returned the pen and the parchment to Dumbledore with a puzzled expression.

There was no contract magic attached to that piece of paper, not even—

There were no other spells or curses.

Just like the ordinary promises and agreements Tiera signed in her past life, it only has legal binding force and no other constraints.

This left Tiera puzzled.

“Then the second thing…” Cornelius Fudge said, “is about your new arm…”

Minister Fudge glanced at Dumbledore.

Tierra suddenly had a bad feeling.

“I will cover the materials and costs for your new arm,” Dumbledore said kindly. “After all, the school bears a large part of the responsibility for your injury.”

“I’ve already arranged for an alchemist to meet you,” Dumbledore said, stroking Tyella’s head. “He’s the best alchemist in all of Europe, even the world, and he’s been wanting to meet you for a long time—”

"Nicolemacht".

Today marks the official start of Volume Four.
