Magical Studies at Hogwarts

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's just that the manual guards have become magic restricted guards, and this also gives some interested people an opportunity.

Such as Rookwood and Ike.

Lucius had basically mastered the Ministry of Magic's guard situation a long time ago, so he could figure out a way to bring Nagini and later Rookwood into the Ministry of Magic. Now that there is just one more Ike, it is not 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 marks on them and no door handles. Some candles with blue flames are hung on the walls.

, the candlelight is 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 get here. We have already reached our limit by sending Nagini here."

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

It is helpless, but it is also the current situation. These servants of Comrade Lao Fu are very partial. They are good at killing, spreading fear, and torturing people, but if you really want to say how high their magic level is, it is 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 wants to do most is to obtain the full content of the prophecy, so that he can 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. He chose a door at random without any consideration. After placing a gold coin at the door, he opened the door directly.

At first sight, it is a very small room with only a desk and a cabinet. It is messy and has a lot of parchment paper lying around.

Ike picked up a piece from the table. The text on it was very fragmentary, with sentences here and there. He flipped through it again, and it was still 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, so he searched carefully.

The first thing he did when he 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 frowned.

This was going to be difficult. 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. He tried twice more, still the same. Without hesitation, he gave up and turned around.

He 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. In addition,

There were many more that he had never seen before.

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

"Bang!"

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 very 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 back from my throat to my chest.

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

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

The next room was a large pit, with stone steps surrounding the entire room, extending downward one by one, and each section was very steep. Ike knew this clearly, so he jumped directly from the top and fell straight down to the stone platform in the center.

Next to it, there is an archway with a tattered black curtain hanging on it, which is moving gently.

"Death..." Ike murmured, his eyes fixed on the slowly swinging curtain. He walked around the arch, looking the same before and after.

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 are flickering with a soft green light, while others are blurry and dark, as if they have lost their power.

Same.

Ike leisurely walked in the middle of the crystal ball, casually scanning the small yellow label on it. Almost all the prophecies in the history of magic are collected here, the earliest ones even reach the barbaric era. As expected, the one has completely darkened.

, there is 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 clearly what was in the room, a smile suddenly appeared on Ike's face.

There are also a large number of shelves, but there are all kinds of clocks on them. The big ones are like wall clocks, and the small ones are like pocket watches and hourglasses. There is light flowing on them, and the ears are full of busy ticking sounds.

At the innermost part of the room is a tall crystal cover, inside which is a small gem-like egg that is pushed up and down by a gentle air current. When it is at the bottom, it is an egg, and it cracks as it rises.

, a hummingbird was applied, and when it reached the top, it became dirty, and then it continued to change as it fell, and finally turned back into the gem-like egg.

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 grabbing 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.
