"The solution manipulates laws of geometry, but not of nature," she commented blandly.

Hermione raised her wand high, creating two fire circles. Rotating her wand she twisted one circle forming a figure eight, and then enclosed it within the other circle.

"I think this is the only way to create an apex at the center of a circle, and meet the traveling guidelines in the book."

She looked to him for confirmation; he nodded silently.

"It is the symbol of universal eternity," she wondered aloud in awe, returning to the book near Crookshanks.

Infinity...
