🕰 The Echo Archive – 36 Hours Left
The room buzzed with unstable magic.
Chris and Hermione stood over the scroll:
"To kill a time-hunter, one must borrow a death."
Hermione paced, biting her lip.
— "Borrowing a death. What does that even mean?"
Chris was silent. The System remained oddly quiet—almost like it was... listening.
Then the shelves shifted. A memory orb floated toward them—swirling with silver light and screams that didn't belong to this world.
🎥 Vision: Future Variant Detected🌍 "Timeline 9-Gamma: Hermione Granger – Timebound Witch"
The orb shimmered—and then Hermione saw herself.
Older. Battle-worn. Her voice cold, wand movements razor-sharp.
— "Don't ever let him touch your core. Time-hunters feed on your past to rewrite your future."
The vision ended in a blaze of fire.
Hermione turned to Chris, shaken.
— "That was… me. In another world. I was fighting him."
Chris whispered:
— "And I think we lost in that one."

Chris blinked as the spell glowed, waiting to be accepted.
Hermione touched his arm. "Don't take it alone."
— "Hermione—this could kill me. Or you."
She met his eyes, voice fierce:
— "You're not facing a timeline killer without me."
He selected [Share the Pact].
The spell split in two.

⚔️ The Confrontation – Hogwarts Clock Tower
Solan Myrr appeared at midnight.
The ancient pendulum froze as he entered, his cloak flickering like shadows in candlelight.
He didn't raise a wand. He didn't need to.
— "You are an error, Christopher Kim. You are not of this world. And now, the balance requires a correction."
Chris stepped forward, defiant.
— "You erased timelines. I saved someone."
— "Saving breaks more than it heals."
Hermione raised her wand beside Chris.
— "He's not alone."
Solan tilted his head. "Ah. The girl with too many possible futures."
He reached forward—into her past. Hermione screamed.
Chris activated Mortem Pactum.
💥 The Spell: "Borrowed Death"
From the Echo Archive, a memory flared to life:
A world where Harry Potter died, and Hermione led the resistance alone. Her death was final—but glorious.
Chris grabbed it. Wove it into a spell.
He shouted:— "You want to see the death that haunts her? Then take it!"
A storm of white fire exploded from his wand, made of grief, love, and sacrifice.
Solan reeled, shadows torn apart by light not meant to exist.

Chris and Hermione stood in silence, watching the stars.
She finally said:
— "If you're from another world… does that mean you'll leave this one?"
Chris looked at her.
— "I didn't come here by choice. But if I ever do have to leave… I'll find a way to take what matters with me."
She turned to him, eyes glowing with something unspoken.
— "Then you'd better make sure I still matter by then."
