Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Mr. Weasley paused, realizing that he shouldn't mention this name in front of Ivan now, and hurriedly changed the subject, "She transferred to the Department of Magical Sports and Sports not long ago. Driven to a department, only Ludo Bagman is willing to have her. Ludo is a good man, and he helped me get my World Cup tickets."

"Where is she now?" Ivan interjected, "I want to see her."

"What did you see Jorkins for?" Sirius frowned, saw Ivan's expression, then understood something, and said seriously, "Well, I know you doubt Crouch, and your reasoning just now is fine. But we should concentrate on solving the curse on your wrist now, after breaking it, I will help you investigate him, I promise!"

"You won't see her now!" said Mr. Weasley. "After this incident with the biting prickly prickly pear, she's gone on holiday abroad and won't be back for a few weeks. Ludo thinks she needs to breathe more Get some fresh air and clear your mind."

Ivan's heart skipped a beat. If Bertha Jorkins set off for a vacation in the Albanian forest, then she might have been captured by Voldemort.

If it doesn't work out, he is being tortured crazily by the other party.

It was only a matter of time before Voldemort knew that his most ardent follower was alive and had successfully escaped Azkaban.

But without the help of Peter Pettigrew, and without a wizard like Quirrell who is willing to share his body with him, it is very difficult for Voldemort to come back and save Barty Crouch Jr.He's just a wandering spirit without power now, unable to do anything.

Just as Ivan was thinking, a note flew into the open door and slowly landed in front of Sirius, who opened it suspiciously.

"Dumbledore has finished talking with Fudge, and he has permission to enter Azkaban!" Sirius said, "He is waiting for us below."

Ivan speeded up and finished writing the letter to his parents, and wrote a letter to Professor Lupine by the way, reminding him to pay attention to Barty Crouch's movements in the letter.

He handed the letter to Mr. Weasley, and after saying goodbye, he returned to the elevator.

"How can we get to Azkaban?" Ivan asked curiously, "Is it apparition?"

"Like Hogwarts, disapparation and any other infiltration spells are forbidden there," said Sirius. "Azkaban has been cast with many spells to prevent prisoners from escaping and being found by others. But the Ministry of Magic keeps the Portkey to that place."

"Where the hell is Azkaban?"

"No one knows." Sirius said, "Although I have been there for more than ten years and managed to escape, I only know that it is on an island in the North Sea."

He was silent for a while, then continued, "I was floating in the sea with a wooden plank in my arms, and I could only make out the general direction. It took me a long time to swim before returning to land."

As we all know, the history of Azkaban, the wizard prison, can be traced back thousands of years.

About the many deeds of this famous prison, it is impossible to talk about it for a few days and nights.Because of imprisoning too many dark wizards and gathering a large number of dementors, it played a very important role in the history of magic and was repeatedly mentioned by people.

After the incident of the underground ruins, Ivan searched a lot of historical materials about Slytherin himself a few days ago.

In it, he found a very interesting record.

Not surprisingly, the creator of Azkaban is most likely Salazar Slytherin himself.

Thousands of years ago, he proposed to the then Presbyterian Church (the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic) to build a prison to detain dark wizards, and then led the construction of the prison.

Slytherin personally arranged a lot of magic on Azkaban, and also provided a large sum of Galleons to maintain the daily operation of the prison.

Of course, these are not the point.What interested Aiwen was that, according to legend, Slytherin traveled around the European continent after leaving Hogwarts, but it is very likely that he spent his later years in Azkaban.

According to the information obtained from the underground ruins, Slytherin left with the body and brain of the God of Nightmare that he cut into pieces. If he lived in seclusion in Azkaban in his later years, would there be this hidden there? Part of the evil god's body.

Ivan touched the locket on his chest. If he left any relics there, he might get a clue about the key to Slytherin's secret treasure.

Even if you can't, maybe you can increase the magic power like last time.

The next best thing is that he is very interested in creatures like the evil god. According to the evil god he saw in the vision of the centaur tribe, it has many companions.

Ivan wants to study these terrifying creatures from the void and find a way to deal with them. The kind of evil god who was summoned by ancient warlocks and is too powerful is not easy to attack, but this guy who was defeated by Slytherin and studied , is the optimal target.

It didn't come from the void, it was probably created by the despicable Haierbo himself, and the power is not that strong, so it won't make Aiwen feel powerless.

Ivan and Sirius took the elevator down and quickly returned to the main hall.

Now, because it's past rush hour, there aren't many people here.

The golden fence door slid open, and Ivan saw the golden statues in the fountain from a distance. No one came in, and they continued down.

"Department of Mysteries!" said the indifferent female voice, and then fell silent.

"This way, Ivan!" Sirius pushed him out of the elevator, "This is the most mysterious department of the Ministry of Magic, and we will continue to go down. I have only been here once before, and it was my trial 13 years ago. , and then sent me to Azkaban that time."

Chapter 382 Department of Mysteries and Departure

In front of them was a simple and deep corridor.

This corridor is completely different from the ones above. The walls are empty, there are no doors or windows, but there is a simple black door at the end of the corridor.

Ivan knew that this was the Department of Mysteries.

To be honest, he really wanted to go in and take a look.

He has heard too many rumors related to this place, but there are very few true and credible ones.

On the market, there are hardly any reliable records about this mysterious department.

In The Quibbler, which Luna had shown herself before, it was said that Fudge was using the Department of Mysteries to develop a terrible poison to secretly drug people who disagreed with him.

But this is obviously absurd. Ivan knows that it actually contains all the prophecy balls obtained by the Ministry of Magic, handed down magic items, and various unknown magic items that need to be researched and preserved, such as magic related to time, soul, and death.

The prototype of the Time Converter worn by Hermione is kept here, and the artifact-like magic item can help wizards control time.

"The Department of Mysteries is the most mysterious department of the Ministry of Magic. No one has ever known what they are doing. The identities and tasks of the staff in this department are top-secret." Sirius said, "The wizards working here are called The Silent Man!"

Ivan nodded, carefully observing the plain black door.

This door should have been around for a long time. It is the same material used in the construction of the Centaur Moon Temple. It is all obsidian, and there are no traces of magic on it.

"One of my ancestors used to work here, and I read his diary." Seeing that Aiwen was very interested, Sirius continued, "According to his records, a long time ago, the Ministry of Magic discovered that there are many kinds of animals related to life. The inherent magic is different from the current magic, and they exist in a form that is difficult to explain, and even more difficult, it can be said that it is impossible to control."

Not surprisingly, these magics should be inherited from the research of ancient warlocks.

They have traveled farther on the road of magic than today's wizards, and know more.

However, with the passage of time, the once glorious magic civilization finally disappeared.

There are many theories about the extinction of the ancient warlocks, and they have been debated for thousands of years.The craziest statement Ivan has just heard recently is what the spherical evil god told him. The powerful ancient warlocks fled to the new world collectively because they wanted to avoid the control of the evil god.

"Behind this black door is a circular room lined with many doors. The Reticent explores and experiments with the mysterious power in various rooms." Sirius said, "If you are interested, you can find it at After graduating and applying to work here, they only want the best students, and if they fail to meet the requirements, it is possible to not recruit new people for a few years. But with your strength, there must be no problem."

They walked through the corridor and stood looking for a moment outside the black door.

"Let's go, don't make Dumbledore wait too long!" Sirius took Ivan's arm and pulled him to the left, where there was a gap leading to a ladder.

"Below here is the special courtroom of the Wizengamot, where the key to the door to Azkaban is specially kept." Sirius said as he walked, "If you are convicted, you will be sent directly to Azkaban there." Caban, you don't need to float on the sea for days and nights."

They walked for a long time, went down to the bottom of the stairs, and continued along a corridor.

To be honest, it looked exactly like the corridors leading to Snape's dungeon at Hogwarts: rough stone walls, torches on brackets.The doors passed were heavy wooden doors with iron latches and keyholes.

"The tenth courtroom, we are here!" Sirius pulled Ivan to stop in front of a gloomy black door with a big iron lock, and sneered, "I originally planned to be tried here, but wait After a long time, they told me that there was no need for a trial for my crime, and they sent me directly to Azkaban."

They opened the door and went in. The surrounding walls were made of black stone, and the light from the torches was dim and gloomy.

On both sides are rows of empty benches that gradually rise up. In front of him, Dumbledore is sitting on a bench, with his eyes closed and he doesn't know what to think.

As soon as they entered, Dumbledore sensed it and opened his eyes.

"You are here!" Dumbledore said calmly, "I'm sorry, we have to start from this kind of place, but please believe me, the place we are going to soon will be infinitely more terrifying and eerie than this place."

He waved his hand, signaling Sirius and Ivan to follow him.

They walked towards the top of the room, bypassing the huge round stone pillar, and behind the black curtain was a hidden small door.

Dumbledore tapped with his wand, and the locked door opened automatically.

In the center of the room is a statue of a dementor.

It was about to lift the scarf on its head upwards, revealing that terrifying mouth in the looming, as if it wanted to give someone a kiss and suck his soul away.

"You must have special permission to enter this room." Dumbledore explained, "Outside is the Wizengamot Supreme Criminal Court, where almost all the prisoners in Azkaban are tried. They did this precisely because Because of this statue, it's the only Portkey that will get us to Azkaban so quickly."

Dumbledore looked at the dementor statue carefully for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and then turned his light blue eyes to Ivan.

"You know what a Portkey means, don't you?" he asked, smiling.

"I know, I read it in the book." Ivan said hastily.

"Very good, but this statue is different from a normal Portkey!" said Dumbledore, "He will not follow us, in fact, there is the same statue in Azkaban, we just touch Touch them and you'll be teleported back and forth."

"But what is the principle of this magic?" Ivan asked.

"No one knows, just like the things you see in the Department of Mysteries above, there are still many wonderful magics waiting for us to discover and study." Dumbledore said, "What we know now is only a small amount. part."

He took something out of his arms and handed it to Ivan.

"I went to the centaur tribe last night and read the records related to that evil god. It is indeed beyond imagination. It is not any kind of creature I know, nor does it appear in the magic books." Dumbledore said, "In your Before I came here, I thought about this matter carefully. Since you have gone back to the millennium and met the four founders of the school, and the things they left behind are all related to these evil gods, then I think it is better for you to keep this thing. "

Ivan froze for a moment, and took what Dumbledore handed to him.

It was the red nameplate left behind after the giant eyeball monster disappeared in the underground ruins, with the image of the terrifying nightmare god painted on it.

Chapter 383 Wizard Prison Azkaban

Dumbledore didn't continue to speak, he didn't seem to intend to explain to Ivan, and shared his research findings on this weird nameplate.

He must have known something, and for some purpose, he gave this thing to himself.

As for what he said, with Ivan's intervention, the treasure keys left by the Big Four may all be related to evil gods.

This may be part of the reason, but certainly not all.

Aiwen didn't ask. Dumbledore has always been like this. If he doesn't want to say anything, no matter how much he asks, there will be no result. Anyway, he won't hurt himself.

However, the final result of the matter may not be what he hoped.

Ivan sighed and put away the nameplate. He was going to rely on his own strength to research what this thing was and what it was useful for.

"Just touch the door key lightly, don't force it!" Sirius motioned to Ivan, asking him to put his hand on the statue.

It was cold for a while, and the statue seemed to be alive.

The unknown fear rose deep in Ivan's heart, and this feeling was very uncomfortable.

He looked nervously at the statue in front of him, at the hood that the dementor was about to put down, and at the looming mouth inside, he was in a daze for a while.

He remembered the method of making dementors in the book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic". Not surprisingly, this magic was also invented by the despicable Hai Erbo.

Could the dementors be the creations of the so-called evil gods like the weird monsters with holes in their heads that I met in the centaur temple? !

Their abilities, so imagined, act directly on a person's soul.

And the Patronus Charm will cause damage to them all, these are too coincidental.

Thinking of this, Ai Wen shuddered inexplicably.

"Get ready, I'll count to three, and I'll go!" Dumbledore said, putting his hand on the robe of the dementor statue, "Three, two, one!"

As soon as his voice fell, and when he said it later and then quickly, Ai Wen felt that there was a hook behind his navel that slammed forward with an irresistible momentum.

He lifted his feet off the ground and flew up.

He could feel Dumbledore and Sirius on either side of him, their shoulders bumping against his, and then snapping apart, far apart.

They flew forward like a gust of wind, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

Aiwen's right hand was tightly stuck to the dementor statue, as if the statue had a magnetic force, pulling him over, pulling him over, and then...

His feet hit the ground hard, and he couldn't stand and fell.

Aiwen had tried Floo powder and apparition before, and his travel experience and feelings were different, but they were all very uncomfortable, but none of them were as bad as using a port key.

"You still need practice to maintain your balance." Sirius pulled him up.

In front of Ivan, there was an identical statue of a dementor.

But they are definitely not in the Ministry of Magic now, and the walls of the surrounding rooms are all rough black rocks.

The dilapidated floorboards were decayed and smelled of decay.

Before them was a small narrow door, which was closed tightly.

The room was like a screaming shack, no one had been in it for a long time, it was dusty everywhere, and the floor creaked and creaked when people walked on it.

Aiwen suddenly felt very cold, and the cold air came from under his feet and kept going upwards.

He huddled into a ball, and then realized that it was because of the changes brought about by the gathering of a large number of dementors. Although he hadn't seen the dementors yet, all the positive, optimistic, and positive emotions in his body were rising with the temperature. Dissipates quickly.

Ai Wen had a cruel thought of death, as if he could no longer feel happiness, and life lost its meaning.

Colors were disappearing from his eyes, and the world soon turned into a dull gray-white, matching Ivan's mood, which was extremely bad.

Although the ground was dirty, he wanted to just lie down and lie here forever.

Beside Ivan, Sirius' reaction was much greater than his.
