Hogwarts Melon Eater
Chapter 249: very mysterious department of occult affairs
"Hogwarts Melon Eater (!
"I?"
Anna took the letter that Dumbledore handed over, quickly unfolded it, and read it with a frown, "A subpoena?" Anna exclaimed in surprise. At first she thought it was something bad that she did and was finally caught. But it soon became apparent that Azkaban was not the agency issuing the notice.
\'...Miss Anna Lawrence witnessed a magical accident in Little Hangleton, the accident involved the mysterious thing \'Super Mary\', so the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic will be subpoenaing her...Please notify Miss Anna Lawrence in time , the dispatched investigator will arrive at Hogwarts in four hours, please avoid Miss Lawrence's excessive contact with other people during this period...\'
Department of Mysteries?
"What does this mean? Headmaster Dumbledore," Anna can be said to know nothing about the Department of Mysteries. Frowning, "Ms. Mary is a mystery? Um... will I be restricted from freedom?"
"It's not that serious," Dumbledore shook his head. "Although the Department of Mysteries will gather people who have been in contact with mysterious things to see if they have been affected by mysterious things, they will send people back when they are sure they are okay."
"Don't be nervous, Anna, I've been through this before, when I co-hosted a swan boat with an old friend..."
"Sorry?" Anna tilted her head, thinking she had heard it wrong, "You mean, a swan boat? The kind of ornamental... swan boats that sometimes appear in parks?"
"Yes Anna, my old friend and I were sitting on a bench by the shore," Dumbledore affirmed what he said, "that swan ship was a mystery, after it escaped from the Department of Mysteries The creatures that suddenly appeared in the artificial lake in the park, and the creatures that were close to it at a certain distance were frozen, and a woman who appeared to be asleep was sitting on the boat."
"Because of its sudden appearance, a lot of tourists were trapped around it and could hear the eerie cries from the swan boat... It was very bad at the time," Dumbledore continued, "but soon my friends and I found out. The swan boat couldn't seem to hold the water, so we used magic to control the current and pushed the swan boat to a place where no one was there, and the crisis was resolved."
"I really miss it. Muggles made a movie to commemorate this urban legend, "The Swan Boat". I really like that movie, but the crew may not have enough funds, and the actors still wear swimsuits in winter."
It sounded a little weird, Anna touched her arm, "How did that kind of thing appear? Those mysterious things? Are they alchemy items?"
"No, alchemy items are controlled by people. Alchemy wizards know the functions of alchemy items and know how to control them. Black and white magical creations can be easily controlled, while mysterious things are different—"
"Mysterious things are partly the product of the failure of wizards to alchemy. They are difficult to control, and even contain some malice, which can easily hurt others..."
"Some weird spells can also create mysterious things. You know that some spells can have unknown effects if they are pronounced incorrectly..."
"Mysteries are born in many ways," Dumbledore concluded, stroking his beard, "but most of the mysteries are caused by magic and strong emotions beyond the wizard's control."
"For example, the "Story Collection of Poet Bedou" that we encountered before, it is also a mysterious thing in the strict sense, it is strongly affected by the strong emotions of the poet Bedou's wife, if it is only an alchemy item, it will not be so powerful."
Emotions, especially those of wizards, are powerful magic in themselves.
"Another example is the swan boat I mentioned. Later, I found out from the Department of Mysteries that it was just an ordinary boat until a woman died on the boat."
"The young wizard who was in the boat with the woman watched his lover's life slip by in his hands. He wanted to be able to use Displacement, and he hurried down and let his wand fall into the water, and then he wanted to stop time, for which he gave life and the swan ship become one..."
Dumbledore paused for a second, "but the lady died anyway, her body was well preserved on the swan ship, which has the ability to Apparate and halt biological activity because of the wizard's emotions and magic— -Of course it may have other abilities, but we haven't discovered it yet."
Anna moved her **** uncomfortably, and she was a little irritated to hear these things beyond the \'plot\', but at the same time she was also very curious.
Dumbledore paused for a moment, "The good news is that although there are many mysterious things, and most of their abilities are annoying, most of them can be burnt with fierce fire, and the small ones that cannot be destroyed are basically contained. , time will dissipate the emotion and magic they contain."
"Ms. Mary is treated as a mystery, and people are treated as mysteries?" Anna suddenly realized this.
"Yes," Dumbledore snapped his fingers, and a blue-covered book swayed down from the bookshelf, "Mystery Response Manual? Confidential" is its name, "There are many kinds of mysteries. , the Department of Mysteries has a department responsible for grading and classifying these things—people are one of them, and they judge according to certain rules how to deal with living mysteries.”
"Sounds very professional," Anna looked curiously at the book on Dumbledore's desk, and found some interesting illustrations and photos, such as an ordinary appliance refrigerator, a man tied tightly, or frozen in a There is an ugly dog in the ice, and there is even a water dispenser, a spider, and a human head.
"Oh, in fact, the British Ministry of Magic is still not careful enough in dealing with mysteries, otherwise the swan ship would not have been contained and escaped back then," Dumbledore's evaluation was very pertinent, "Compared to the mystery of the United States The Bureau of Control is going to do a lot better, but that's what they've learned a little bit under the Mystery Disaster—"
"There was a time when the director of the U.S. Bureau of Mystery Control changed three times a month, one was controlled by the containment, one went to prison, and the other disappeared," Dumbledore shook his head and laughed, "I feel like I It's telling scary stories to scare kids, and if you put those things in a book, the most annoying book would not be Toadstool Tales."
"Mystery disaster?" Anna asked, "A lot of mysteries in America?" It sounded like a flood.
"Yes, the Rappaport law previously promulgated by the American Magical World was too harsh, resulting in many tragic incidents, and more and more mysterious things were created. The Magical Congress of the United States had to negotiate to repeal this law. ," Dumbledore sighed.
"But at that time the relationship between wizards and Muggles was um... difficult to reconcile. There was not even a cooperative project between the US No-Maj government and the Magical Congress, and it is still the case, so their mysteries are too much to control."
"In addition to the simple folk customs of the place, the U.S. Bureau of Mystery Control is always very busy."
"Then if the U.S. Bureau of Mystery Control did not cooperate with the No-Maji government... Mysterious things shouldn't be easy to control, right?" Anna felt that this was unreasonable.
"I'm glad you can think of this, wise Anna. In fact, the US Bureau of Mystery Control is a rather special organization, and the secrecy law has special provisions for it. There are wizard employees and No-Maj employees in the Bureau of Control. It is not controlled by Administered by the Magical Congress of the United States, but subordinate to the No-Maj government of the United States."
"After Rappaport's law was repealed in 1965, the emotions that some wizards had been repressed were completely ignited. They began to ignore the Magic Congress, began to emphasize freedom, and shouted \'free wizards\', \'make magic clear to the sky\' , "Muggles and wizards are human" and other slogans took to the streets to march, and they joined the No-Maji government in a fit of anger. That's when the Mysterious Control Bureau was established."
"There was so much magic in America at that time, but the Magical Congress of the United States completely ignored it, and left the mess to the No-Majes until Mystery Control came forward."
Hearing this, I feel that the Magical Congress of the United States is disdainful, completely disregarding the life and death of No-Maji. Are wizards and No-Maji already so incompatible in the United States?
This is indeed the case. In addition to the influence of Rappaport's law, the tit-for-tat between the two is inseparable from the 'Purgers' group that appeared when European wizards and No-Majes had just begun to immigrate to North America in the 17th century. The historical legacy of -
But this part is not the content of the British History of Magical Society exam. For details, you have to read the American History of Magical History, which is a decent extracurricular reading.
"And are there records of mysteries in other countries? Those with more history?" Anna tried to hear what she wanted to hear from Dumbledore.
She did get her wish, Dumbledore thought for a while, waved his wand and let another book on the bookshelf fly over. The Chinese characters on the cover were familiar to Anna, "Night Ship", and below it was written in English Author: alchemist? open…
Alchemist... Zhang? Anna looked at the book in shock. If I remember correctly, "Night Ship" should be the same author as "Looking at the Snow at Lake Heart Pavilion" in high school! Is he a wizard? ! Anna's high school writing also used his \'Jinshan Night Play\' as an example——
The fantasy world of Harry Potter!
"Night Ship," Dumbledore said in Chinese, which is nothing unusual, as a genius, he has mastered many languages, including even Mermaid and Goblin, "a book of great research value, it records many ancient mysteries."
He thought that Anna couldn't read Chinese, so he kindly helped Anna translate the title in English, "On a silent night alone on a magic ship to explore the mysterious distance."
Dumbledore translated a bunch of words in just three words. If Anna hadn't understood the ancient text, he might have been surprised, "Wow!" Anna still exclaimed in cooperation.
Dumbledore was already satisfied, "I have been learning this beautiful language for a long time, even longer than Mermaid, but still can't fully understand their meaning, they are complex, especially the different There are different words for the period, and each word has many meanings.”
Anna nodded in understanding.
Her mind has completely drifted to the book in her hand. Anna couldn't wait to open the book and saw "Night Ship? Magic - Translation Version" written on the first page. Below is the author's name and a big red seal\' Published by Huaguo Fangshi Translation Agency\', in the middle of the red frame is a mighty Chinese dragon.
"Cool!" Anna was very excited. She started flipping the pages of the book and found that the content inside was completely different from the night cruise she had seen in her previous life, and it had been translated into English. It was no longer an encyclopedia, but more It's like a travel journal, the first half of which describes the various magical customs in various places, the class etiquette in the magical world, as well as astronomical divination, geographical magic and so on.
The second half uses a lot of pen and ink to write the \'strange things\' encountered in the process of traveling, which is now called \'mysterious things\'.
\'...In "The Story of the Pillow" written by the alchemist of the Tang Dynasty, Shen mentioned a pillow made of porcelain. Lu Sheng, a test taker, slept on the pillow and dreamed of his life. I'm not familiar with it...If the porcelain pillow is preserved to this day, it will be a strange thing. A friend of carrier pigeons told Yu that he got this porcelain pillow by chance, and Yu was invited to have a look...\'
\'... Strange, what is the building that covers more than 300 miles and isolates the sun? When did a friend build something so striking in this earthly place? This is a violation of the rules of the alchemist, someone should come to be held accountable soon, thinking like this, Yu turned into the palace wall...\'
\'...The record in the pillow, the record in the pillow, worthy of being an alchemist? Shen Suo mentioned the porcelain pillow, and it took me a long time to realize that I walked into a friend's dream, five steps, one floor, ten steps and one pavilion. The scene of Epang Palace emerges in front of us, and now it is the second year of Chongzhen...\'
\'...The palace maid is madly chasing after Yu, why did Meng Lang's friend dream of the palace maid like a wolf like a tiger? In panic, Yu used the technique of escape, the shoes he just made accidentally lost, and he was in a hurry...\'
\'... Yu finally arrived at his friend's bedroom, and saw a fat-headed and big-eared man sleeping on a rocking chair with a porcelain pillow under his fat neck. It was Yu's friend. Seeing his face smiling in his sleep, Yu was furious. Starting from the heart, he woke up quickly with a loud shout, slapped his face on the flesh, his friend woke up, the Epang Palace collapsed, and the good scene disappeared in an instant...\'
\'...Opening my eyes again, it seems that Yu's experience is all a dream, Yu and his friends are lying under the banyan tree, the farmer's kitchen is dazzling not far away, a beautiful woman is cooking yellow rice, and the friend is holding porcelain The pillow looked stupid, and after a while, the woman screamed and took out a new pair of shoes from the yellow liang, which was what Yu Mengzhong lost...\'
"The porcelain pillow in this story was stored in the Peach Blossom Garden in China. It is a museum open to wizards from all over the world. It also houses many milder and mysterious things," Dumbledore recommended. "If you have the opportunity, you can go to see At first sight, China has a long history, and there are many magics that have been passed down."
"There will be opportunities in the future," Anna had already made plans to travel to China's magical world.
"Okay, Anna, it makes me happy to see you have plans for the future, but we have to talk about something else," Dumbledore adjusted his robes and coughed to make his voice serious , but soon couldn't help but tease, "It's about your grades."
Anna liked Dumbledore's headmaster's room, and she came here to eat and drink, and Phoenix Fox to brush her hair, but only if the headmaster was not talking to her about any grades.
Perhaps it should be fortunate that Hogwarts does not have the tradition of inviting parents, there is no parent-teacher meeting, and there is no such thing as a home-school alliance or parent group - Anna breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Lina didn't have any requirements for her grades, she would think of these things unconsciously when discussing grades with the principal in the principal's office.
"Professor Flitwick's report records the list of the few little wizards who can't master the Floating Charm and the Water-Making Charm. Miss Anna, your name is written at the top, so it's hard not to get noticed."
"Maybe you have some special circumstances that you don't want to disclose..." Dumbledore happily stroked his beard again, "but I have to remind you that at the end of the semester, the owl will accurately send the transcript to every household. , and choose to deliver it when the parents are there, you have to weigh it carefully."
"I will, Headmaster Dumbledore," Anna smiled awkwardly. Usually, she was deliberately restrained, and her grades in the exam would never be bad. "I must study hard."
"It's best, otherwise, Dean Snape will never watch you slack off. Slytherin's Quidditch captain Flint is going to be relegated. Even if Snape focuses on potions, he won't Tolerating a class repetition incident..."
Otherwise, you will be ridiculed wildly by Dean McGonagall in Gryffindor next door.
"Okay, someone from the Department of Mysteries is here," Dumbledore stood up and opened the window of the headmaster's room. Anna, who was sitting on the sofa, could see the scene outside the window a little blurry. She couldn't help but stand in surprise. He got up and walked over to Dumbledore.
"Hey! What are you looking at?" The little wizards who were training in Quidditch discovered this strange phenomenon.
An American-style Muggle school bus suddenly appeared in the sky, "DiDi!" The school bus honked its horn twice toward the principal's room, and then pointed the front door precisely at the window of the principal's room.
"Wow, it seems that this incident is more serious than I thought," Dumbledore frowned and patted Anna's shoulder, leading her to the window, "The Department of Mysteries has invited foreign aid, and this time the It's the Bureau of Control, and look, that yellow school bus is also a mystery, with the Bureau of Control emblem on it."
A black-headed and white-feathered eagle with spread wings, one claw holds a gun, the other holds a wand, there is a flag on the eagle's belly, an inverted triangle object is held in the eagle's mouth, a black circle encloses the eagle pattern, \'mysterious The Bureau of Control's English circled around - the Bureau of Control's logo seemed to give it a strong feeling.
"Squeak—" The door of the school bus opened, and a man dressed like an agent appeared at the door, wearing a biochemical mask on his face, "Hello, Headmaster Dumbledore, Miss Lawrence," he said in a low voice, "I It is W056 of the Bureau of Mystery Control, you can call me Terry, the British Department of Mysteries has invited the Bureau of Mystery Control to cooperate, so this containment and investigation will be jointly completed by the two agencies."
"Please don't worry, the person under investigation will return safely within 24 hours. During this period, the Bureau of Control and the Department of Mysteries will ensure the safety of the person under investigation."
The investigator named Terry did not have the slightest undulations in his tone. His seriousness in business affairs and his sense of technology were all incompatible with the mild and sandy atmosphere of the British magic circle.
"Miss Lawrence, your companion is already waiting in the bus, please act as soon as possible, \'yellow school bus\' cannot stay in the same place for a long time," he paused for a second, "otherwise bad things will happen."
"Uh, okay," Anna nodded, and then found herself floating up, through the window of the principal's room, and onto the school bus.
"Anna!" Anna heard a familiar voice as soon as she got in the car. She looked towards the place where the voice came from. Hermione, Harry and Ron were all in the car. Anna greeted them and was pulled by Hermione. sit together.
After sitting down, Anna found that Andy, who was rescued by the trio before, was in the corner. Andy greeted her shyly. He had put on a sweater, and after his golden hair was taken care of, he seemed to be in good spirits. Now, Andy is a healthy and lively young man, "Hello," Anna nodded to him.
A large viper emerged from Harry's collar, nearly squeezing Harry out of breath.
Oh, there are also Nagini, Anna knows that Nagini is now Harry's friend, and Harry is determined to help Nagini lift the blood curse - I have to say, the same Parseltongue, choose ha Being a friend is much more reliable than choosing Voldemort.
Anna knows how to help Nagini to lift the curse, but the vampire lady who is the key to breaking the curse has disappeared. Anna tried various methods to contact the vampire Nya, but since the end of the Little Hangleton incident, Anna has never been seen again. past her.
So the plan to help the vampires find the Phoenix had to be shelved.
"You brought Nagini back to Privet Drive? Didn't your Aunt Petunia faint gracefully?" Anna looked at Harry amusingly.
"Not really," Ron interjected excitedly, "Nagini lives in the cupboard where Harry used to live, and she's well hidden, except that she almost ate Mrs Figg's cat while out foraging in the middle of the night. !"
"Nagini didn't do anything, but this Control Bureau almost stunned Aunt Petunia when they came to pick me up," Harry sighed helplessly, "They pretended to be the police and told Aunt Petunia that I was together The only witness to a serial murder case, they need to take me to the police station for protection and investigation!"
"My dad almost picked up the phone to ask for a lawyer," Hermione was also a little helpless, "then that Mr. Terry had to explain the specific situation to us. Speaking of which, I have never read about the American mystery in the book. The detailed introduction of the Bureau of Control, to be precise, most of the information related to mysteries is strictly controlled, and the British Department of Mysteries always acts strangely..."
Ron watched Hermione chatter again, exchanged glances with Harry, and both sighed at the same time.
"I was picked up at St Mungo's," Andy added nervously, "I was in therapy there, and people there told me a lot about wizards and magic... It's the first time I've ever experienced this, "Andy was incoherent. "They're all real!"
"Yes Andy, you're a wizard," Harry patted Andy on the shoulder, he could understand Andy's feelings, "I felt like I was dreaming at first."
"Hey—" The school bus door closed, and the car became quiet. Tron, who was wearing a biochemical mask, had already communicated with Principal Dumbledore, which meant that they were going to leave soon.
This serious man walked to the aisle of the school bus, he stood up straight, his eyes swept over every little wizard, serious and serious, and when he saw him, Ron put his legs on the seat uncomfortably.
"I'm Tren."
Tren spoke, as if speaking to the little wizards, but he seemed to be communicating with the school bus, "I will be the driver of the yellow school bus for a while, taking the children to their destination - the British Ministry of Magic, Department of Mysteries."
The yellow school bus began to vibrate at a certain frequency, and Trun stretched his long legs to the driver's seat and sat down. He turned his head and glanced at Anna's group~www.NovelMTL.com~ and then pulled a small microphone from above his head to speak. .
"Put your seatbelt on."
Straps of seat belts grew out of the seats, securing the little wizards to the seats. "Cool," Ron muttered. Harry and Andy both tried to pull on the seat belts, only to find themselves fastened firmly. .
Anna felt a little terrified, Hermione thought more, and her face was pale, "I already think I'm going to vomit," she whispered, which made Anna sitting next to her look ugly.
"Close your eyes," Anna heard Thrun's voice.
Then he found that there was darkness in front of him.
