"Then what can we do?"
Facing the girl's coquettishly reproachful gaze, Cypher remained unfazed and instead changed the subject with a solemn expression.
"It's not what we can do, but what you can do..."

"What do you mean?"
Cypher abruptly stopped. For some reason, the moment he heard those words, his heart felt strangely empty. "Are you leaving?"
Alice hurriedly explained, "No. Repairing the seal requires extremely profound magical knowledge and powerful spellcasting ability."

In the original work, Hermione used it to travel into the past so she could study every subject.
In the end, it was also illegally used for purposes beyond those agreed upon, allowing Sirius to be rescued.
