The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 439 Invasion of the Ministry of Magic

"Harry, what's going on?" After eating dinner, Ryan and Hermione rushed to the common room to find Harry.At this time, everyone else is eating below.Sloppy common room.In the empty common room, only Ron, Ginny and the twins stood beside Harry, who was lying on the sofa, looking very ugly.

"I heard from Ginny that Harry had that nightmare again after dinner." Hermione whispered close to Ryan, "Then Harry went to find Professor McGonagall, but Professor McGonagall told him to wait here quietly. He is absolutely not allowed to leave the school."

"Professor McGonagall is right, we can't afford to lose another person, let alone this kidnapping seems a little unusual-" But Ryan was interrupted by Harry before he could finish speaking.

"But the one who is missing now is my only family member. I have to find him. Professor McGonagall, Professor Dumbledore and even Lupine have good intentions for me to stay here. Not the same. They may give up Sirius for my safety, after all, the Order of the Phoenix has not sacrificed before. I can't sit here. Not to mention that I feel that Voldemort already knows that I am watching him, and at noon this The dream was his warning to me. If I don't show up in the Department of Mysteries, Voldemort will probably kill Sirius."

"If this is your decision, please let me go with you." Ginny stood up first, and she looked at Harry's shocked face. "You don't think I'll allow you to face this alone, do you?"

"Yes, and us, we've grown up, and there are things we should do." This was the answer of the Weasley twins.

"I'm your best friend, how can I let you take risks alone." Ron continued.

"Well, although I still think it's a bit stupid to do so. But it's obviously not enough to rely on you alone." Ryan is also planning to go to the Ministry of Magic. After all, he has coveted the good things of the Department of Mysteries for a long time, and this time he finally has the opportunity to get in Certainly not let go.Not to mention that he was worried that what if Harry died if things changed?
"As I said, I will follow you in your future adventures." Hermione shook Ryan's hand and said, looking at him.

"Listen, this is my own business. You don't—" As a result, several people protested before Harry could finish speaking.Making his scar ache harder again, Harry realized that every minute of their delay was precious; he had no time to argue.

"Okay, fine, it's your choice," he said hastily, "but the problem is that all the communication channels in Hogwarts are being monitored by that old woman Umbridge, and we don't have enough Broomstick, how can you get to London like this?"

"It's very simple." Ryan stood up and said. "Fred and George have a secret passage to Hogsmeade. As soon as we get to town, we can use the fireplace at the branch of the Weasley's Joke Store to fly directly to the main office in Diagon Alley. In the store."

"In this case, let's set off now." Harry eagerly led others to set off.However, Ryan and Hermione asked to go upstairs to make some preparations. When Ryan came down, he found that only Hermione was waiting for him wearing the leather armor under the school uniform robe.

"Where's Harry?" "They're going first."

At this time, Hermione recognized the box in Ryan's hand, "You brought the rose crystal, is the current situation so bad?"

"It's worse than you think." Ryan said as he took out the meteorite amulet that could block the death curse once and hung it around Hermione's neck: "So I called all the sisters from Rose Crystal again just now, and now they It's all in the box. This time the mysterious man's big game will definitely not be a small fight, what we are facing will be a war."

Starting from the secret passage behind the one-eyed witch sculpture, Ryan and Hermione arrived at the Hogsmeade branch of the Weasley joke shop an hour later.Before setting off, they left a letter to Professor McGonagall to inform them of the situation, hoping to get support from the Order of the Phoenix.Ryan didn't think that a group of young wizards could confront Voldemort and a large group of Death Eaters head-on.

Ryan and Harry meet in the backyard of the Weasley joke shop in Diagon Alley.After taking a batch of magic items from the second floor and arming themselves, they took the subway to a desolate side street.It's just a few seedy-looking offices, a bistro and a dump truck that's overflowing.The only thing that stands out is the tattered red telephone box on the street.

"This is it, here we are." Harry pointed out the guest entrance of the Ministry of Magic for everyone. Ryan looked at the watch on his wrist and found that it was 08:30 in the evening, and the people in the Ministry of Magic should be off work.

Sure enough, when they took the lift into the Ministry of Magic from the red telephone box with the badge pinned to their chests, the hall was empty.No imaginary security guards.

"That's not right, the Ministry of Magic should have staff on duty even at night." Ryan murmured. "Guys, I think we'd better get our wands ready and everyone try to be aware of their surroundings."

Everyone else nodded, and as soon as the elevator stopped, the seven people ran at full speed in the hall with their wands raised, and the sound of chaotic footsteps echoed in the hall.Other than that, the only sound that could be heard in the main hall was the constant rush of water from the golden fountain, from the wizard's wand, the centaur's arrowhead, the goblin's hat-tip and the house-elf's ear. sprayed out and landed in the circular pool.

"I can feel that Sirius is still alive..." Harry felt his scar hurt again as he rushed into the elevator.But at the same time, he also got the current situation of Sirius.Enduring the pain, he poked button number nine, and the barrier slammed shut.The elevator made a rattling sound, which was very ear-piercing.But no one came out to check on the situation.

As the elevator stopped, the indifferent woman's voice said, "Department of Mysteries." The grate opened, and they stepped out into a corridor, where nothing but the nearest torch flickered in the draft stirred up by the elevator. Nothing happened.

Harry turned to the plain black door.For months he had only seen it in his dreams, and now he was here at last.

"That's right here." He whispered, leading everyone to walk forward along the corridor, while the remaining six people followed him forward while observing the surroundings vigilantly.

"I think we should keep an eye out for two people playing outside." Standing in front of the door, Harry suddenly said to the others.

"Don't be stupid." Ryan stared at Harry. "The mysterious man and his lackeys should be ambushing somewhere here right now. We spread out and have no use other than letting them break us down."

"Okay." Harry wanted to keep a few people away from the battlefield, but after listening to Ryan's words, he realized that everyone had no choice now.

He turned to the black door and walked through it... Just as in the dream, it opened.He stepped across the threshold, and the others followed.

They were standing in a huge round room.Everything here, including the ceiling and the floor, is black; the surrounding walls are evenly embedded with some identical black doors without marks and handles, and some candles with blue flames are dotted on the wall, coldly The bright, flickering candlelight reflected on the bright marble floor, making the floor look like the surface of calm and deep water.

Ryan, who walked to the end, closed the door, and the mechanism in the room was activated.With a loud rumble, the candle began to move sideways.The circular wall rotates.For a few seconds, the walls whirled and the blue flames blurred around them, forming a blue band of light.Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the rumbling stopped and everything was quiet again.

In Harry's dream, he always walked through the house without hesitation, went straight to the door facing the entrance, and then walked on.But here is different from the dream, there are actually 12 doors.It is likely that this is a security measure to buy enough time to confuse the intruder's judgment.But for Harry, who needs to save someone, this is a difficult obstacle.

"I think we should try the doors," he said hastily. "I'll know the way when I see that room. Come."
