--------------------
"Only when the connection between prophecy and reality is minimal does the future remain fixed. What you see becomes more accurate."
Though Hermione's words sounded somewhat mystical, everyone present wasn't ordinary. Immediately understood her meaning.
The moment the future is known, it's already changed.
So they must maintain the original future's trajectory as much as possible. To ensure desired outcomes on certain matters remain unchanged.
"Meaning S.H.I.E.L.D. just needs to follow normal Stark search-and-rescue procedures. Don't do extra things. But don't slack off either."
Fury's thinking was clear: "This way we'll definitely discover Stark's trail normally. Notify the military for rescue normally. Finally successfully bring him back."
Summary: Do what you should do. Act like nothing happened.
"Bingo!"
Hermione wore a "teachable child" expression. Made Fury's mouth twitch.
"But exactly how long?" Pepper still couldn't relax.
Having witnessed Hermione's miraculous abilities—but this concerned Tony's life and death. She couldn't help being anxious.
She hadn't expected the final conclusion to be "just wait."
"Mm…" Hermione pondered: "With my current magic power, the limit I can foresee is roughly one month. If all goes smoothly, the scene just now will definitely occur within a month."
Everyone exchanged glances. Felt somewhat reassured.
One month—they could wait that long.
Seeing the others accept her explanation, Hermione also breathed a sigh of relief.
Though she was deceiving them, she also didn't want unknown butterfly effects to destroy the future that should happen.
The future from her memories was one of her major advantages.
Plus who knew—if she messed with this important plot point, would some weird thing representing world will descend to kill her?
Before becoming absolutely powerful, she temporarily didn't plan to recklessly alter the plot.
Moreover, that Tony Stark guy—Hermione had plans for him. Whether he died or failed to become Iron Man would be a huge loss to her.
Just as the others discussed details, Hermione's eyes rolled. Suddenly cried "Ow!" Clutched her head. Looking agonized.
"What's wrong?!" Natasha and Pepper saw this. Quickly stepped forward to support her.
Hermione's face was pale. Body swaying. Little face twisted. As if enduring some pain. Forehead covered in cold sweat.
"Bit off more than I could chew this time…"
Hermione squeezed out a few words with difficulty.
Everyone was shocked.
Could divination actually harm the body?
Miss Witch, to help them, actually…
Several felt somewhat moved.
"Divination was originally one of the forbidden magics. Magic power burden is secondary. If used improperly, causes extreme bodily harm. Otherwise any random person could casually know the future's direction—the world would've descended into chaos long ago."
Hermione explained intermittently: "Even throughout wizarding history, few could learn divination."
Saying this, she raised her head. Seemed quite proud.
But paired with her pale, weak little face, made people feel both speechless and heartbroken.
Still showing off in this condition… Everyone felt helpless.
Natasha and Pepper, both women, already had poor resistance to cute little girls like Hermione. This directly awakened their maternal instincts. Gently held Hermione without letting go.
Especially Pepper—felt even more guilty.
If not for helping her find Tony, wouldn't have made such an adorable child suffer so much.
Thinking this, Pepper's heart filled with resentment toward Tony.
All Tony's fault!
When he returns, must make him personally visit to thank her. Properly compensate Miss Witch. Even letting Miss Witch beat him up to vent is fine!
Fury thought: "This time Miss Witch was injured helping S.H.I.E.L.D. If you need help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. We'll do our best."
Initially, the old coin's first reaction was insurance fraud? But next second, dismissed this thought.
From Hermione's complexion, this prophecy backlash indeed caused significant harm. Shouldn't be faked.
Plus she was just an innocent child. Where would such scheming come from!
"Really?"
Hermione's eyes brightened.
Fury immediately felt something was wrong.
"I need dragon heartstring, phoenix feather, unicorn blood, Acromantula venom…" Hermione counted on her fingers. Unceremoniously recited.
That's right—she was insurance scamming.
"Wait wait!" Seeing Hermione's outrageous demands, Black Boiled Egg quickly stopped her.
What dragons and phoenixes and unicorns—where am I supposed to find those? These are obviously mystical creatures just from the names!
You're making things difficult for S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Eh…" The light in Hermione's eyes dimmed. Face full of disappointment.
Her pitiful appearance instantly triggered Pepper's sensitive nerves.
"She became like this helping us. You can't even fulfill this small wish?"
Small wish… Nick Fury's mouth twitched.
Do you hear what she's asking for?
But seeing the obviously overflowing-with-sympathy Pepper, Fury knew reasoning was impossible. Could only sigh:
"Apologies, Miss Witch. What you mentioned truly exceeds our capabilities. How about this—as long as it's not these magical items, anything else you need, as long as it exists on Earth, we'll definitely mobilize full force to help you find it. How's that?"
Nick Fury felt helpless. After today's commotion, wanting to freeload off this witch would be difficult. Even Natasha probably wouldn't agree.
Hehe… Hermione chuckled internally.
Easy to go from frugality to luxury. Having experienced wizarding power's convenience and wonder—not afraid they won't fall.
Got hooked on wizards and want to run?
Want her help in the future? Prepare to work for her till death!
Pretending to recover briefly, Hermione stood. A broomstick appeared in her hand from thin air.
Under four pairs of shocked eyes, she sat sideways on the broom. Grabbed the crystal ball. Rose into the air and flew out the window.
"You, you can fly?!"
Black Boiled Egg widened his single eye.
"Can you walk?" Hermione asked.
Black Boiled Egg nodded.
Hermione looked at him like an idiot: "Then why would you think, as a wizard, I can't fly?"
Black Boiled Egg: "…"
"Pepper-sis, Natasha-sis, bye-bye!"
While Black Boiled Egg contemplated life, Hermione waved. The broom pierced the sky. Soon became a small dot. Disappeared in the distance.
After Hermione left, Pepper and Natasha exchanged glances.
Especially the latter—looked Pepper up and down. Though haggard, undoubtedly a woman of extraordinary temperament. Every gesture carried a unique charm.
Plus Pepper seemed to also really like Hermione.
This gave her a sudden inexplicable sense of crisis.
Little Hermione always liked pretty sisters. Won't she be lured away…
