Why Does This Word Sound So Familiar?

Although the effects of the potion were strong, it did not affect one's mind, so the thought only lasted for a moment before Peter rejected it.

He had not forgotten that Ivan had used him as an experimental charm during the first two school years…

This small favour was not enough to make Peter let his guard down,

No, I can't wait any longer. I'm leaving tonight!

Peter made up his mind and plotted his escape for the night,

However, Peter had a vague feeling that these words were familiar…

'Have I told you that already?'

Peter was lost in thought again.

Ron was relieved to see Scabbers again and thanked Ivan profusely.

Ivan waved his hand, indicating that this was all part of his job.

After all, he was not a devil.

Ivan would, of course, have wanted his test subjects to be lively and happy and active in the face of life's difficulties…

Although this appearance of vivacity and joy was created by him using the Joy Potion, it didn't matter, did it?

As long as he was happy!

…

After a quick dinner, Ivan and Hermione made their way to the secluded classroom, as usual. Harry and Ron, who were used to seeing them around, didn't ask questions.

When they arrived at their secret meeting place, Hermione was surprised to see Ivan's research on the table.

"Ivan, have you come up with a plan for the final version of the Polyjuice Potion?"

Hermione remembered Ivan thinking about the ratios of several potions yesterday.

"Well, yes, Professor Snape has given me a lot of advice, and I'm sure it will bear fruit in the next few days…" Ivan nodded, omitting Peter the dwarf's contribution last night.

Ivan then went on to give Hermione detailed instructions on how to improve the potion, as well as on the conflicts between ingredients.

The young witch listened with great attention, and over the course of the past few days she and Ivan had been teaching her about Potions, and within a few days it was clear that she had improved considerably.

This also frustrated Hermione, who had expected to be able to help Ivan, but was unable to.

It occurred to Hermione that Ivan had been trying to find out who was taking the potion and what would happen if they died suddenly while the potion was still active, so she asked.

"By the way, Ivan, have you figured out the problem from last time?"

"Not yet," Ivan said, shaking his head. "Snape doesn't seem to know much about it, but I'm sure it can be fixed by increasing the potion's stability and duration."

Confirming this would be difficult. He couldn't just kill people to experiment, could he?

As such, Ivan was only able to improve the potion's effects to the best of his ability to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"Is that so? Well, I'm sure I'll get to the bottom of it!" Hermione exclaimed confidently as she sat down on a nearby chair and began searching through a few books on potions that she had not yet read.

Ivan smiled, but did not hold out much hope, as he had already turned the pages of the books, and they did not contain any information.

However, he did not tell Hermione this, as it was always good to read more.

Ivan turned and began brewing a potion.

Neither of them spoke again. The only sounds in the empty classroom were the flipping of pages and the bubbling of the potion.

Before long, the strange smell of the potion had spread throughout the classroom,

Hermione, who was turning the pages of a book, yawned, and sleep overtook her…

'Have you been too tired lately?'

Hermione rubbed her eyes and thought to herself,

No, this is not the time to sleep!

Hermione forced herself to perk up and dive back into her book, but felt her body grow heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep with her head on the table…

Yvonne came over to her, unsurprised to see Hermione unconscious.

He had just brewed an improved version of the Elixir of Life and Death, which had the scent of sleep, and while it might have limited effect on the average energetic person, it was different for Hermione.

After all, Hermione had been studying for nearly thirty hours a day for the better part of a month, and even if she were to take a bottle of tonic every three days, the mental exhaustion would still be present and would not be completely dispelled.

Therefore, he had previously judged that there was a good chance Hermione would fall asleep while reading…

As for Ivan himself, he had already drunk the antidote in advance, so he was naturally unaffected…

"It's got nothing to do with you, so why are you trying so hard?" Yvonne asked, seeing the dark circles under Hermione's eyes.

Ivan reached out and removed the Time-Turner from Hermione's neck, intending to leave.

Ivan then stopped and turned to Hermione, thinking that it would be rude to leave her sleeping on the table.

After some thought, Ivan drew his wand and waved it gently, as if he were the conductor of a band;

The tables and chairs in the classroom became the players. The cauldrons, reagents, bottles, and jars that were scattered around the table came to life and spontaneously flew into a pile in the corner, making small noises.

Immediately after, the dozen or so tables automatically came together and, under the influence of magic, turned into a fluffy bed…

Ivan gently lifted the sleeping Hermione and placed her on the bed, then helped her remove her shoes and tuck her in.

Ivan then pointed to the window, where the curtains were pulled down to block out the evening sun, and the classroom became very dim, allowing Hermione to sleep without being disturbed…

"Get some rest!" Ivan said, looking at the little witch lying on the bed.

He thought it was time Hermione had a good night's sleep, as he had previously suggested that she use the Time-Turner to increase her sleeping time, but she was adamant that the power of the Time-Turner should not be used in such a place.

With that done, Ivan left the classroom to use the Time-Turner.

Ivan was not worried about Hermione's safety,

Although he had temporarily returned to the past, as long as he calculated the time correctly, it would be as if he had never left… Perhaps his future self would have returned as soon as he left.

Not to mention that Hermione was only asleep, not unconscious.

Let's try it for five days! One hundred and twenty laps! Ivan decided.

Prior to this, he and Hermione could only travel back five hours at a time, which was relatively safe, but this time he had to find out what the so-called risk was!
