Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 215 Revisiting the Department of Mysteries

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

As the greatest white wizard of this century, Dumbledore's prestige is extremely high, but Fudge is not a simple character, otherwise he would not sit on the seat of the Minister of Magic.Under his operation, the mainstream media in the market basically cannot see the remarks that are not conducive to the Ministry of Magic, only those tabloids can still find them.

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

"Look, our Minister of Magic has done us a great favor. He even wanted Dumbledore!"

In Malfoy Manor, Comrade Lao Fu was holding a brand new "Daily Prophet" while reading it, and Bella, Wormtail and others also smiled.

"It seems that our plan can be a little more daring..."

"Yes, master, let me go, I will definitely bring that thing back to you." Bella half knelt beside the old man, looking up with reverence.

"With all due respect, Bella..." Ike interjected, "at your level, you can't get in there without triggering the alarm."

Ike is telling the truth, don't look at the fact that he slipped into the Department of Mysteries easily last time, and even took two time converters from it, but this is based on his magical power second only to Lao Fu.Those magic alarms inside have no effect on him, but it doesn't mean that others can easily solve it.

"That's right, Bella, wait a little longer, there will be a chance." Lao Fu agreed with Ike's idea, gently stroked Bella's hair, and comforted him.

"Yes, master." Bella showed a dependent and satisfied expression, she enjoyed Lao Fu's touch very much.

"Lookwood, how are things going? You heard it all. Little Ike is ready."

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

"Master...Master, it will take a few more days, the guards there are very tight recently..."

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

"I...I see, master..."

Rookwood didn't make Lao Fu wait too long. Four days later, he found another chance and brought Ike into the Department of Mysteries.

Passing through the familiar black corridor, Ike, who came to the rotunda again, directly opened a door and walked in.The last experience let him know that marking the door here is completely useless.Maybe the Reticents had a way of telling the difference, but Ike didn't know it, and Rookwood didn't get that way.

When I entered the door and looked up, it was the planetary hall, and Ike left directly.After going wrong twice, he finally found the Time Hall.Two more time-turners along the way, and Ike left.Pushing open another door, it was the office full of parchments.

"I finally found it..."

This is the main purpose of Ike's trip. He needs to find the research results of the Reticent Man on the Time Converter from this mountain of parchment, even a few words are good.

Ever since he got the Time Converter, Ike has been doing research secretly, but he hasn't made any progress.Whether it was the pocket watch or the pendant he was familiar with, they seemed to be natural, as long as they were damaged a little, they would lose their effect.

The pocket watch broke just by removing the cover, and no matter how you adjust the hands, you can no longer travel in time.The same is true for the pendant. It is useless to remove the hourglass, even if it is pressed back as it is.

Ike knew very well that this thing must have a research method that he didn't know, and only by following a specific method can he get a glimpse of its mystery.

After searching for a long time in the mountainous and messy parchment, the harvest was not very great. There were only some sporadic sentences that mentioned the time converter, but they were not systematic at all.

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

Ike muttered, trying harder to find it.The parchments he had seen were neatly thrown away in a corner that had been cleaned up in advance, and all the sentences about the Time Converter on them were copied by him to the parchment he had prepared earlier with the Copying Charm.There is no time to look at it now, anyway, he still has to go to the Prophecy Hall for a while.

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

After searching for too long, 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 came to the Hall of Prophecy.

Last time he took a quick look at the flowers, this time he directly looked at them row by row, one by one.It's troublesome, but it's the only way.It's been too long, and he can't remember exactly where the prophecy that runs through the entire plot is placed, he only remembers that it is at the back.

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

But it didn't drag on for too long, after all, a large part of the crystal ball on the top shelf is dim.Soon, Ike found more than 50 rows. At this time, there were more soft green lights on them, and by the time of more than 60 rows, the dim ones could no longer be seen.

The speed slowed down a little, but it was just to watch more carefully, the pace was not slowed down much.Just walking and watching, suddenly, Ike stopped.

This is the end of No.90's seventh row. Ike stopped in front of a crystal ball, staring at the yellowed label on it.

"SPT to APWBD
The Dark Lord and (?) Harry Potter"

Ike frowned. He didn't expect to find it this time with a little bit of effort, and it was too easy.After thinking for a long time in his heart, he gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand tentatively.

"?"

The right hand quickly grabbed it again, but every 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? Is there any special condition to get this thing? It doesn't make sense!"

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

"You're much less vigilant, Stryde..."

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

Calmly putting away his wand, Ike became calm.

"Why are you here, Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore pushed the glasses on his nose, looked very relaxed, and replied: "You should know, I am a wanted criminal of the Ministry of Magic now..."

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

Hearing this, Dumbledore put away the joke and said seriously: "Now is not the time."

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

He threw it in his hand and said, "If your magic is more complicated, I really can't get it..."

"Okay, stop joking." Dumbledore snatched the crystal ball from Ike the moment he tossed it up, and carefully put it back on the shelf. With a light wave of the phalanx-shaped wand, a green light flashed, The crystal ball did not change anything.But Ike knew that if he didn't use magic, he couldn't touch it again.

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

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "The thing you are looking for is not in the Department of Mysteries. The Ministry of Magic has sealed the research materials 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 keep her at Hogwarts."

Hearing this, Dumbledore suddenly smiled.

"no problem."
