Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 208 Department of Mysteries

At night, the Ministry of Magic was completely empty. Almost no one stayed here anymore. They all went home to rest, and even the portraits on the wall fell asleep.

But don't think that the absence of anyone means that the Ministry of Magic's defense is very lax. It has just changed from manual guards to magic restricted guards, and this also gives some interested people an opportunity.

Like Rookwood and Ike.

Lucius had basically mastered the guard situation of the Ministry of Magic a long time ago, so he could figure out a way to bring Nagini and later Lukewood into the Ministry of Magic.Now there's just one more Ike, so it's not that difficult.

Very easily, Ike arrived at the ninth floor of the Ministry of Magic. After passing through a simple corridor, he opened a simple black door and finally arrived at the destination of his trip - the Department of Mysteries.

What you see is a circular hall. The ceiling, floor, walls and twelve doors are all black. The doors are exactly the same, with no markings on them and no door handles.Some candles with blue flames were hung on the wall. The candlelight was very weak, creating a mysterious atmosphere.

"So, in fact, you have made no progress at all." After listening to Rookwood's narration, Ike sighed in a low voice, "What is in these doors, don't you even know this?"

"I'm sorry, little master." Rookwood lowered his head in shame, "We can't hide from all the guards and come here. We have already reached our limit by sending Nagini here."

Ike was silent and waved his hand. Upon seeing this, Rookwood withdrew and quietly stood outside as a human being.

It is very helpless, but it is also the current situation. These servants of Comrade Lao Fu are very biased.They are good at killing, spreading fear, and torturing people, but if you really want to say how high their level of magic is, it's just a joke.In fact, even Lao Fu himself is a bit biased.

In this case, the "all-rounder" Ike is extremely valuable, which is also the main reason why Lao Fu sent him here. After all, using the soul-stealing curse to control a silent man to obtain the prophecy has failed. .

"The man with the energy to conquer the Dark Lord approaches... born into a family that has defeated the Dark Lord three times... born in July"

More than ten years ago, when Trelawney made this prophecy that changed the entire wizarding world, only these three sentences were overheard by Snape and relayed to Lao Fu, which also led to his attempt to kill Harry. He was defeated by some kind of magic he didn't understand, which led to the failure of the First Wizarding War.

Therefore, after being successfully resurrected, what Comrade Lao Fu wanted to do most was to obtain the full content of the prophecy, so that he could adjust his plan based on the content of the prophecy and avoid failure again.

It can be said that everything he has done and planned in the past six months is to obtain that prophecy.

Ike stood quietly in the center of the hall, looking at the twelve black doors around him, and chose a door at random without any consideration.After putting down a gold coin at the door, he opened the door directly.

The first thing you see is a very small room with only a desk and a cabinet. It's a mess, and a lot of parchment paper is placed randomly.

Ike picked up a piece from the table. The text on it was very fragmentary, with one sentence here and another here and there.I turned it over again and it was the same.After searching carefully, there was only parchment, not even a book.

San San left. The things here were of no value to him, but luckily he looked for them carefully.

The first thing I did when I went out was to look at the ground, but the gold coins appeared in front of the third black door from the left.Seeing this, Ike couldn't help but frown.

This was not easy to handle. He didn't expect that the door here would move.

After putting down another gold coin at his feet, Ike walked directly to the black door where the previous gold coin was. He stretched out his hand and pushed hard, but the door did not move at all. He tried twice more and it was still the same.Without hesitation, he gave up, took a step back, and opened the door.

As soon as he stepped in, the door behind him closed automatically, and he was surrounded by bright stars.Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, all the stars he knew in astronomy class can be found here, and there are many others he has never seen before.

After tentatively waving his hand, the stars began to move rapidly along their established trajectories. The chaotic scene made Ike feel a little dizzy.

"boom!"

A star suddenly exploded in the distance, triggering a series of chain reactions, like fireworks, with a large number of stars exploding immediately after.

This scene was shocking, because every time the stars exploded, it was right in front of his eyes, as if there was a force pulling him and pulling him to the doomsday scene.

Without any hesitation, Ike opened the door behind him and ran out.

It was so scary that it took a while for my heart to fall from my throat back to my chest.

He looked at the gold coins on the ground again, and as expected, their positions had changed again.Ike felt relieved, raised his hand to recall the gold coins, and then opened the door next to him.

There is no pattern at all, and there are no marks left on the door. It just depends on luck.

The next room is a large pit, with stone steps surrounding the entire room, extending downward one by one, each one very steep.Ike understood clearly and jumped directly from the top, falling straight to the stone platform in the center below.There was an archway with a tattered black curtain hanging on it, which was moving gently.

"Death..." Ike murmured, his eyes fixed on the slowly swinging curtain.Going around the arch, the front and back look the same.

To be honest, he really wanted to know what was behind the curtain, but he didn't have the courage to reach out.

In another room, the first thing you see is rows of shelves reaching to the ceiling, filled with dusty crystal balls.Some flickered with a soft green light, while others were blurry and dark, as if they had lost their power.

Ike walked leisurely in the middle of the crystal ball, casually scanning the small yellow label on it.Almost all prophecies in the history of magic are collected here, the earliest ones even dating back to the barbaric era.As expected, that one had completely darkened, with no light at all.

After a few turns, Ike left here. Looking for the prophecy that Lao Fu needed in a room like this was tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. He didn't have that much time to do it.

Pushing open another door, after seeing what was in the room clearly, a smile suddenly appeared on Ike's face.

There are also a large number of shelves, but there are various clocks on them.The big one is like a wall clock, and the small one is like a pocket watch or an hourglass. There is light flowing on it, and the ears are full of busy ticking sounds.

In the innermost part of the room is a tall crystal cover, inside which a small gem-like egg is pushed up and down by a gentle air current.When it is at the bottom, it is an egg. As it rises, the egg cracks and a hummingbird is laid out. When it reaches the top, it becomes dirty. Then it keeps changing as it falls, and finally turns back into the egg. Jewel-like eggs.

After standing quietly in front of the crystal cover and looking at it for a while, Ike reluctantly left and searched around the shelves. After casually carrying a delicate pocket watch, Ike finally found the one he was familiar with. A golden necklace with a small hourglass hanging on it shining golden light.
