Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 213: Revisiting the Department of Mysteries

Fudge's actions were still very fast. The front page of the "Daily Prophet" the next day was Dumbledore's wanted order, which caused an uproar in the wizarding world.

As the greatest white wizard of this century, Dumbledore has extremely high prestige, but Fudge is not a simple character, otherwise he would not be sitting in the position of Minister of Magic.Under his operation, there is basically no mainstream media in the market that can find any comments that are unfavorable to the Ministry of Magic, and can only be found in those tabloids.

Of course, there's The Quibbler, but who in their right mind would subscribe to that magazine?

"Look, our Minister of Magic did us a big favor. He actually wanted Dumbledore!"

In the Malfoy Manor, Comrade Lao Fu was reading the brand new "Daily Prophet" and was speechless. Bella, Wormtail and others beside him also smiled.

"It seems that our plan can be a little bolder..."

"Yes, Master, let me go, I will definitely bring that thing back to you." Bella half-knelt beside Lao Fu's legs, looking up with reverence.

"With all due respect, Bella..." Ike interjected, "At your level, there's no way you can get in there without triggering the alarm inside."

Ike told the truth, despite the fact that he easily slipped into the Department of Mysteries last time and took away two time turners from inside, but this was based on his magical strength second only to Lao Fu.The magic alarms inside had no effect on him, but that didn't mean others could easily solve them.

"Yes, Bella, if you wait a little longer, there will be a chance." Lao Fu agreed with Ike's idea, and gently stroked Bella's hair with his hand, comforting him.

"Yes, Master." Bella showed a look of dependence and satisfaction. She enjoyed Lao Fu's touch.

"Lukewood, how is the situation going? You have heard it all, and little Ike is ready."

Rookwood heard the sound and walked out of the crowd, knelt down in front of Lao Fu, his body trembling.

"Master...Master, it will take a few more days. The guards there have been very tight recently..."

"Then you have to hurry up, Rookwood, you know the price of letting me wait too long, don't let me down..."

"I...I understand, Master..."

Rookwood did not let Lao Fu wait too long. Four days later, he found the opportunity again and took Ike to sneak into the Department of Mysteries.

After passing through the familiar black corridor and arriving at the rotunda again, Ike opened a door and walked in.The last experience taught him that marking the door here was completely useless.Maybe those silent people have a way to distinguish, but Ike doesn't know that Rookwood has not found that way.

When he entered the door and looked up, he saw that it was the Planet Hall, and Ike left immediately.After two more wrong steps, he finally found the Time Hall.After taking two more time turners, Ike left.Pushing open another door, it was the office filled with parchment.

"I finally found it..."

This is the main purpose of Ike's trip. He needs to find the results of the Silent Man's research on the time turner from this mountain of parchment, even if it is just a few words.

Ever since he got the time turner, Ike has been secretly researching it, but there has been no progress at all.Whether it was the pocket watch or the pendant he was familiar with, they seemed to be natural and would lose their function if they were damaged even a little bit.

That pocket watch was broken just by removing the cover. No matter how you adjust the hands, you can no longer travel through time.The same is true for the pendant. If you remove the hourglass, it will have no effect, even if you press it back in place.

Ike knew very well that there must be a research method for this thing that he didn't know, and only by following a specific method could he get a glimpse of its secrets.

After searching for a long time in the mountains of messy parchment, the results were not very great. There were only some sporadic sentences mentioning the time converter, but they were not systematic at all.

"There must be something, there must be something..."

Ike muttered and searched harder.The parchments he had read were neatly thrown into a corner that had been packed away in advance. All the sentences about the time turner on them were copied to the parchment he had prepared with a copy spell.There was no time to look at it now. Anyway, he still had to go to the Prophecy Hall.

For now, Lao Fu's mission is the most important.

The search didn't take long, and Ike stopped after writing down a three-foot piece of parchment.After restoring the office to its original state, Ike opened the door twice more and finally arrived at the Prophecy Hall.

Last time he took a quick look at the flowers, but this time he looked carefully at them row by row and one by one.It's troublesome, but it's the only way.It had been so long that he couldn't remember exactly where the prophecy that ran through the entire plot was placed. He only remembered that it was at the back.

Of course, it is impossible to search from the back to the front. Finding it too quickly would not be in line with Ike's own plan.

But it didn't take long, since a good portion of the crystal balls on the top shelf were dim.Soon, Ike found more than 50 rows. At this time, there were more soft green lights on them. By the time he reached more than 60 rows, he could no longer see the dim ones.

The speed slowed down slightly, but it was just to look more carefully, and the pace did not slow down much.Just walking and watching, suddenly, Ike stopped.

This is the end of the seventh row of No. 90. Ike stopped in front of a crystal ball, his eyes fixed on the yellow label on it.

"SPTtoA.PWBD

The Dark Lord and (?) Harry Potter"

Ike's brows furrowed. He didn't expect to find it this time with just a little effort. It was too easy.After calculating in his mind for a long time, he gritted his teeth and tentatively stretched out his hand.

"?"

His right hand quickly grabbed it again, but each time it passed through the crystal ball, as if it was just a projection and the real thing was not placed on it at all.

"What's going on? Are there any special conditions to get this thing? It doesn't make sense!"

Ike was a little confused. He was present when Rookwood reported the information. The Silent Man could obviously get it, why couldn't he?

"Your vigilance is much worse, Strider..."

A voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Ike immediately turned around. The wand fell into his hand at the same time. The red light on it suddenly lit up, and then suddenly went out after seeing the person clearly.

Calmly putting away his wand, Ike became calm.

"Why are you here, Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore pushed up the glasses on his nose and replied with a relaxed look: "You should know that I am now a wanted criminal of the Ministry of Magic..."

"There's no need to chat, Dumbledore, you should also know that I don't have enough time..." Ike frowned, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

Hearing this, Dumbledore stopped joking and said seriously: "Now is not the time."

"Why?" Ike said, grabbing the crystal ball again. This time, the golden light flashed from his hand and he successfully got it.

He tossed it in his hand and said, "If your magic were more complicated, I really wouldn't be able to get it..."

"Okay, stop joking." Dumbledore took advantage of the moment when Ike threw the crystal ball up, carefully put it back on the shelf, waved his finger-bone wand lightly, and green light flashed. The crystal ball remained unchanged.But Ike knew that if he didn't use magic, he wouldn't be able to touch it.

"You can't keep watching here, Dumbledore." Ike said slowly, and the golden light of the wand in his hand flashed away.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke: "The thing you are looking for is not in the Department of Mysteries. The Ministry of Magic sealed up the research information on the time turner a long time ago, but I can give it to you."

Ike shook his head: "Not enough...you still have to leave her in Hogwarts."

Hearing this, Dumbledore suddenly smiled.

"no problem."
