The Magic School with the Highest Market Value!

Eat slowly, be careful not to burn yourself.

Before William could finish speaking, Hermione had already taken a bite, and immediately felt a shiver run down her spine from the scalding Pumpkin Juice in the pie.

William gasped in shock and quickly grabbed a glass of warm water, handing it to him.

It was a strange feeling. Just a few minutes ago, Hermione seemed to have little appetite, but now Hermione was as hungry as a bowl of Tiger's Bobocha.

"William, how did you know I was here?" Hermione asked, looking up after taking a sip of water.

William gave a mysterious smile, "I've said it before, no one understands Time-Turner better than me."

"Oh, right, didn't I remind you to eat more and bring some food?" William asked curiously, "Otherwise you'll go hungry."

"I wasn't very hungry at the time, so I didn't eat. If I brought food with me, it would get cold and wouldn't be fresh," Hermione said, looking aggrieved.

"I thought I could use the Time-Turner to come back and freeload breakfast."

"But after you came back, you remembered that you were already in the Great Hall when you first used the Time-Turner?" William said.

Hermione nodded.

The whole process is actually very simple.

After Hermione finished her Divination, she used the Time-Turner for the first time and returned to breakfast time, where she ran into William in the Great Hall.

After that, I went to Arithmancy Divination.

After the Arithmancy ended, according to Hermione's timeline, it was actually lunchtime.

But she still needs to use the Time-Turner to go back in time to Muggle Studies.

After the Muggle Studies are completed, there is still a Transfiguration class taught by Professor McGonagall before it's time for lunch.

If you follow this process, it's like only eating breakfast and then attending classes all day without rest or meals.

No one can stand this!

So after the Arithmancy class, Hermione thought she'd go back to breakfast time, grab a quick "lunch," and then head to her Muggle Studies.

But she discovered that "she" was in the Great Hall, the same Hermione who had been Great Hall with William there.

Time-Turner has a fundamental requirement: it cannot be discovered by itself. Tywin has already shown William the consequences of being seen by someone else, at the cost of his own life.

You think the worst-case scenario is being killed by yourself? Wrong, it could also cause a disruption of the timeline.

Hermione was unaware of these things, but that didn't stop her from following Professor McGonagall's instructions and strictly adhering to the rule of "not being seen by herself."

Therefore, she could neither enter the Great Hall to eat nor return to the common lounge, and had no choice but to hide in the restroom and wait.

"Hermione, you're the smartest witch I know," William teased. "How come you've made a fool of yourself this time?"

"It's all your fault!" Hermione glared at William.

Hermione didn't need to go back to breakfast time the first time she used the Time-Turner; she only needed to switch to five minutes before her Arithmancy class.

Since our own people weren't in the Great Hall, we used the Time-Turner a second time, which allowed us to perfectly avoid being there and have our meal smoothly.

Hermione moved the timeline so early just so she could see who the girl hugging William was!

They didn't see anything, and this has led to this awkward situation.

William understood Hermione's little scheme, but didn't expose it. Instead, he shook his head and chuckled, "Hermione, you still don't get it."

"What do you mean?!" Hermione wrinkled her small, delicate nose.

"I won't tell you, it's a secret!" William took out a piece of paper and gently wiped Hermione's mouth.

The girl didn't dodge; as she looked up, she glared childishly at William, the culprit.

William asked, "How was the Arithmancy class?"

"That's great!" Hermione patted her textbook happily and said, "This is the most interesting class I've ever had. I really like Professor Creevey... She's so beautiful."

The Divination was different; it seemed rather muddled, with much of it relying on guesswork... Professor Trelawney seemed like a fraud."

"I told you, there's no need to go to the Divination; you can just take the exam at the end of the semester," William said.

Hermione, still indignant, said, "Professor Trelawney also said that my aura is weak, that I have poor receptivity to future resonances, and that I'm a little witch with no talent!"

The last person to dare say Hermione was just an "ordinary little witch" was Cregan.

So his office was destroyed by Hermione, who also caused a huge disturbance at the French Ministry of Magic.

"You must have talked back to Professor Trelawney in class," William asked.

"It's not exactly talking back!" Hermione said angrily. "It's just that the pattern on the tea leaves, in my opinion, is somewhat different from what she described."

I said it was a rat, but she insisted it was a big dog.

"Oh... that 'Grim," William said with interest. "So, who is she predicting will die this year?"

In the course of Divination, it is commonly believed that a large dog represents bad luck—an omen of death!

Trelawney predicts the death of one person every year; it's one of her specialties.

Last year, she held up Eloise's teacup and predicted that William was in for a bad omen.

However, it can't be considered a wrong prediction. Eloise was attacked, and both Ron and Tom's names contain the letter L!

"Yes, she predicted Ron would die," Hermione said.

"Who, Ron?" William raised an eyebrow. He had originally thought that Professor Trelawney would predict something Grim for Harry.

After all, the more famous someone is, the more nervous you are when making predictions, as they can attract all the students' attention. I never expected her to target Ron.

"I'm already considering not going anymore."

Hermione exclaimed excitedly, "The next class is Muggle Studies! It'll be interesting to see Muggle from a wizard's perspective!"

"Yes, of course it's fun." William smiled.

Hermione imagines her Muggle Studies teacher to be an old wizard who is "well-versed in magic and Muggles".

His magical knowledge rivals that of Dumbledore, and he has earned several Muggle the Doctor, most notably a tenured professorship at Oxford.

But in reality...

Professor Burbage Charity Bubbaje is probably the Hogwarts professor who knows the most about Muggle knowledge.

Last semester he told Cedric that a nuclear bomb was a beautiful firework, and the twins almost went and bought one.

After that, William attended a few classes and discovered that Professor Burbage was explaining the steam engine for Muggle.

He said that the Muggle moon landing, all kinds of space shuttles, and rockets all flew up using steam engines.

He also repeatedly claimed that he was developing a perpetual motion machine. He said he had even designed the blueprints, but the Muggle lacked vision and he was missing the angels to cast his spell.

He's currently seeking sponsorship, hoping Dumbledore and the School Governor will approve the project.

He also guaranteed that Hogwarts would break even within three years, double its profits within five years, and go public within ten years, becoming the number one magic school by market value!

William immediately understood: Professor Burbage was not a distinguished alumnus of Claydon University, but rather an "amateur scientist" from England.

Therefore, Hermione will definitely be even more disappointed after completing Muggle Studies.

If she becomes Minister for Magic, she will definitely re-evaluate the teaching at Hogwarts.

However, by then, Professor Trelawney and the others had probably all retired honorably.

After Hermione finished eating, the two lingered in the bathroom for a while before finally leaving.

"William, who is that girl? Tell me, and I won't be angry." Hermione smiled, seemingly genuinely not angry.

"Haven't you figured it out yet, Hermione?" William laughed loudly. "That person is yourself! What you saw... was yourself!"

"William, what are you doing?" At that moment, a familiar voice came from the end of the corridor in the distance.

Hermione froze abruptly, only then remembering that she was in the common room and was on her way to the Great Hall for breakfast.

Hermione instinctively turned to look at herself, but William suddenly grabbed her under the arms and picked her up.

Turn around.

She stood between the two Hermione.

"Let's hope we don't find out ourselves." William said with a smile, "See you at noon!"

Hermione was instantly enveloped by the Disillusionment Charm and vanished into thin air.

Hermione slowly strolled over from a distance; that corridor seemed longer than a marathon.

Her mind was a little blank, and after a moment, she couldn't help but ask:

"William, where's that girl? Who is she?"

"Sorry, that's a secret between us, I can't tell you."

Hermione responded with an "oh," and remained silent for about three minutes.

She suddenly looked up and swung her wand sharply:

"Levicorpus!"

William: "..."
