A Magical Hogwarts - Vol 7 Chapter 37
Department of Mysteries,
As the most mysterious department of the British Ministry of Magic, few people know that it existed before the establishment of the Ministry of Magic.
How long is the history?
The Ministry of Magic was established in the 17th century, and the Department of Mysteries had stood in this land a thousand years before it appeared.
It’s just that at that time, it wasn’t called the Department of Mysteries, it was called the SCP Foundation, which specialized in researching the mysterious power that shrouded this area.
No one knows when this power appeared, and no one knows who left it behind.
All I know is that this area is very strange.
for example:
The saplings planted will grow into towering trees overnight;
The mirage projected a vision of the future, more powerful than the most powerful prophets of the time;
The flowing water killed countless creatures and turned it into a forbidden area of life…
After many years, this power weakened slightly, and the wizard was able to get close to the research.
Over time, many mysteries were gradually explored:
Love, space, thought, time, death, and more.
The most famous is to develop the “hour reversal spell” and make a time converter.
But last summer, after the Death Eaters attacked the place, the Department of Mysteries was completely destroyed.
In particular, the Hall of Prophecy and the Hall of Time, the time converters made over the centuries, and the reserved prophecy spheres were all ground into powder.
But also because of this, let the director of the mysterious affairs department make more investment.
The power that even Voldemort is jealous of, there must be more mysteries.
In order to resume research as soon as possible, the Department of Affairs has re-recruited a group of staff – silent people.
Every silent person has signed the secrecy magic, and cannot tell outsiders about the work, research, and everything here.
On this day, as a silent man, Rosso was observing the stars in the space hall, and suddenly felt a terrible crash from the ground.
He felt a sudden shock in his heart, thinking that it was a Death Eater attack, and hurriedly ran towards the death hall where the voice came.
The hall of death is very large, like a lecture hall. The stone benches gradually descend step by step, and each step is very steep.
In the very center is a stone pit with a raised stone platform in the center and an arch on it.
This arch is one of the restricted areas of the Department of Mysteries.
As long as you get close to it, the call of the dead will be heard inside the arch, attracting the wizard to enter.
The more a wizard loses a cherished person, the greater the impact.
In the Middle Ages, in those chaotic years, the Council of Magic, the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic, conducted secret experiments on this.
Throwing in magical creatures, Puritans, and even dark wizards… but, without exception, never came back.
After many deaths, the experiment was called off, and the arches were made off-limits.
After Rosso entered the death hall, he witnessed a scene that he will never forget in his life:
A golden coffin appeared on the stone platform, and soon another golden coffin floated out and hit the ground heavily. The splashed liquid carried a terrifying breath of death.
Rosso was stunned, there was actually a coffin floating out of the arch?
He suddenly remembered that he had seen records in the archives:
Four golden coffins floated out and were taken away by Hufflepuff.
It was exactly the same as the scene in front of him.
boom!
The golden coffin was kicked open and fell to the ground with a loud noise.
Is there anyone else in the coffin? ! !
Rosso turned around and ran in horror, his brain opened wide, and he shouted at the same time:
“Come on, the Big Four are resurrected!!”
“The Big Four are resurrected?”
William walked out of the golden coffin and said with some doubts:
“Have such exciting things happened after leaving the magic world for a while?”
Hermione, who was sleeping in the coffin with him, stood up and sorted out her messy clothes.
She thought for a moment, and said with a strange face:
“It’s not about us, is it?”
“…”
Well… jumping out of the coffin is really weird.
At this time, Harry also came out of the coffin tremblingly, and was attracted by the arch again.
William hurriedly woke him up, and when he looked back at the arch, he was also impressed, but he didn’t expect to come back here again.
Last year, in the battle of the Department of Mysteries, he and Dumbledore chatted here for a long time, talking about the golden coffin and the Big Four.
At that time, the three of Ravenclaw entered the underworld, and finally sent the coffin from here to take Hufflepuff into the underworld.
Unexpectedly, he also floated out from here now.
William didn’t even expect that this place was actually written by Merlin.
In other words, the “prehistoric mystery” power scattered throughout the Department of Affairs was also left behind by him.
After putting away the coffin, William did not leave in a hurry, but instead took Hermione and Harry towards the locked room.
This room can be said to be the most mysterious place in the Department of Mysteries.
No one can open it because a key is missing.
William rubbed the door and saw that there were three thin holes on it, connected by a thin slot.
The key, the key!
At this moment, noisy footsteps sounded, and a group of Aurors appeared, surrounded by Minister Burns.
They were all alerted by Rosso and came to check the golden coffin.
But I didn’t expect to see William and Hermione.
These wizards were stunned for a moment, and then everyone was excited.
Kingsley, the current director of the Auror Office, was the first to say loudly:
“William, you’re back? Great.”
Wizards throughout England knew that William and Hermione were not in England.
The reason is very simple, the two of them disappeared for almost a month, and neither of them showed up.
After that battle, William’s prestige rose again and again, and he was almost appointed as the new patron saint after Dumbledore.
The Patronus is gone, people are naturally panicked, and there are all kinds of speculations.
There are even rumors that he was killed by Voldemort.
Fortunately, anyway… William is finally back.
As for who just said “the Big Four are resurrected”… Who are the Big Four?
After William greeted everyone, he looked at Minister Burns and said:
“Dumbledore is there and I need to meet him immediately.”
“I’ll have the Aurors take you right away,” said Minister Burns solemnly.
William nodded.
Now that Harry brought it back, Voldemort should be… dead.
…
…
Hogwarts,
Principal’s office.
After reading some of William’s memories, Dumbledore stirred the Pensieve with his wand and fell into deep thought.
Compared to Death, Morgan, and Vivian, he was more interested in the weird old man.
When he heard that William didn’t touch Grindelwald, the principal looked a little lost again, and seemed to be very worried about the man.
However, the top priority is how to deal with Voldemort.
Killing him, ending this wizarding war…is what’s imminent.
Only by killing him can Dumbledore enter the underworld to find Grindelwald.
The two discussed the plan again, but it didn’t last long.
This was all planned long ago. If Harry hadn’t had an accident and was taken away by Tom, Voldemort might have died.
To kill Voldemort, Harry must have no way around it.
William hesitated for a moment, then said:
“Professor, I think Harry… may have sensed that he was a Horcrux, and that piece of soul on his forehead.”
Dumbledore’s hands trembled, he took a deep breath, and sighed:
“Well, it makes things easier.”
It’s really simple… Telling Harry the truth directly and letting him die is an extremely cruel thing.
Now that he is mentally prepared, it is not so difficult to speak.
William looked at the hunched figure of the old man and couldn’t bear to say, “I’d better go and talk to Harry, Professor…”
“No.” Dumbledore’s blue eyes, looking at William, said solemnly:
“William, I’ll have a deep talk with Harry and tell him the truth.
This is what I have planned for a long time. If you want to hate, you can hate me. You are not allowed to say it. ”
William was silent, thought about it, and then said another thing.
“Professor, I want to make a wand from the elder vine that Ravenclaw’s crown has turned into.”
“Huh?” Dumbledore was a little suspicious, raised the old wand in his hand, and said:
“William, you can inherit this wand, I have long planned to give it to you.
I think you can harness its power without being controlled by the Elder Wand.
There is no need to waste such precious materials to make another wand. ”
William shook his head and said:
“Grindelwald went to kill the god, which means that the **** of death is a threat to us in the future.
The Elder Wand is also made by the **** of death, and its characteristics are also to obey only the strong.
If one day, we do meet death, will the Elder Wand serve us, or will it become the servant of death? ”
Dumbledore frowned, he hadn’t thought about it.
But the answer is inevitable.
The Elder Wand is the most disloyal being, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that it is the n-name slave.
“And…” William turned sideways, stared into the distance, and said softly:
“In the divination class the year before last, Professor Trelawney used tarot cards to make a prophecy. I have always been very concerned about it.”
“What prophecy?” Dumbledore asked.
“Terry Lawney helped me divination a fool’s card.” William recalled:
“On that card, there is a young man with a laurel crown on his head, dressed in fancy clothes, walking on the edge of a cliff.
He holds an hourglass in his left hand and a long wooden stick in his right. ”
William paused and continued:
“Professor Trelawney said:
‘The flower crown represents wisdom.
The hourglass, representing the power of time in the transformation process. ’
‘The flower crown turns into a stick, wisdom turns into strength…’”
Every prophecy of William to Trelawney ~www.mtlnovel.com~ is written down in a notebook, often revisited.
He hadn’t paid much attention to this prophecy before, thinking it was the other party’s nonsense in class again.
But after the battle with the Department of Mysteries, the problem became more apparent.
“I was in the Department of Mysteries, using the power of time to turn the Ravenclaw crown into elderberry vines.” William explained:
“The crown is a flower crown. If you want to turn into a stick, from wisdom to power, you can only make it into a magic wand.”
William looked directly at Dumbledore and said:
“I believe in Professor Trelawney’s prophecy more than I believe the Elder Wand will surrender to me!”
After all, Trelawney…forever.
