Chapter 1719: Drawings on the Table
Harry made his way up the steep staircase through the dimly lit hallway, the light growing brighter and brighter.
"Knox!" he whispered, extinguishing his wand's light.
Harry leaned in the corner and poked his head out to look out at the large hall outside.
At the end of the hallway was a splendid marble fireplace, in which the fire was dancing happily, but the light was not very bright because it had been burning for so long, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, countless portraits hanging from the dark purple walls, and those ornate decorations and magical objects that did not know the usefulness.
Even at 12 Grimmauld Place, Harry hadn't seen so much.
There was no one in the hall, not even the portraits on the walls, except for frames.
The entire hall was occupied by an eerie deathly silence and emptiness, and the atmosphere was particularly eerie.
It seemed that everyone had left in an instant, and it was not like a wizard's mansion, but rather like a place of horror that had suddenly been abandoned.
It is only natural that such a scene should appear.
Because as Harry remembers, this is where Voldemort went on a killing spree last night.
Although the corpses piled up on the ground had been cleared, the air was still filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Thinking of the corpses, Harry suddenly felt a strong feeling of vomiting, and he forced himself to control it.
He had witnessed the murder last night and knew the terrible things that had happened here, but it still felt horrible to experience it firsthand.
Even for the Death Eaters, I'm afraid they won't be near this hall anytime soon!
With this in mind, and without hesitation, Harry entered the hall and quickly walked towards the shelf next to the fireplace.
According to Dobie, it was the Malfoy Manor Chamber of Secrets, where many important things were located.
There is also a dungeon at the end of this chamber, where Ron is also being held.
But Harry soon stopped, and the large table in the middle of the hall caught his attention.
As if by the ghost, he walked over there, and there was a huge drawing on the table.
The drawings are large, and above it is a structural drawing of a door.
This is the arch of the Hall of the Dead in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic!
Almost instantly, Harry recognized the door, though the door on the drawing was not quite the same as what Harry had seen at the Ministry of Magic before.
At the Ministry of Magic, Harry saw the arch perched on a stone platform that was very old and tattered.
He wondered for a moment that it could still stand there without falling.
Above the door, a tattered black curtain or curtain hung from it.
Although there was not a hint of wind, it was gently swaying, as if it had just been touched.
But the door on the huge drawing in front of Harry was not like that, it was much more complete than the one he had seen at the Ministry of Magic, it seemed to be the original appearance of the door, the arches were beautifully ornamented, and the hanging curtains were also complete, with a strange pattern drawn on it that Harry could not understand.
The pattern is difficult to describe, it seems to be some kind of creature, some kind of deformed and terrible monster.
The position of the creature's head, Harry judged that it was probably the place of the head, a bit like a giant octopus, but there were many more tentacles sticking out, and the position of the head down seemed to be a body, a bloated and fat body, vaguely with the outline of a human, but the curve of the body was not like that of a human.
Soon, it seemed to stretch on both sides, as if a strange pair of wings were stretching out.
At the bottom of the body, where the feet should be, are giant claws that resemble monsters.
What the hell is this?!
If it was a creature, Harry had never seen anything like it. Immediately after, it occurred to him that Evan had said before that this door seemed to be related to the evil god, so Voldemort and the Black Witch were going to open it, could this monster on the curtain be the evil god?!
Harry had seen a part of the evil god in Azkaban before, supposedly the brain of the evil god of the dastardly Helbo.
But that thing was completely different from the monster in front of him, and he couldn't make any more judgments.
He stared at the monster on the wallpaper for a while, and a gust of wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver. Suddenly, as if affected by this dark wind, the curtain on the drawing swayed gently, exactly like the one hanging on the door of the Ministry of Magic. Harry blinked his eyes vigorously, it wasn't the wind at all, and he clearly saw that it was the tentacles of the monster on the picture that were swinging, driving the curtain to swing with it.
That's really ...... It's horrible!
Staring at the monster's pattern, Harry felt in a trance.
The monster was smiling at him, and even though he couldn't even tell where the monster's mouth was, he had a feeling like that.
Harry hurriedly withdrew his gaze and took two steps back, in a cold sweat.
Immediately afterwards, he noticed that a passage was marked in bright red ink next to the tent on the drawing, a very complicated incantation.
Slowly, gently, Harry read along.
"Death is not the end, the dead do not rest in peace forever, and the marvelous eternal calamity does not end in death......"
The spell doesn't end, but it seems to have a magical power.
Harry had just finished reading this when there was a buzzing sound, and a white glow suddenly appeared in the center of the door on the drawing.
The arch was opened!
Harry heard someone talking to him in his head, and the voice seemed to come from inside the door, just as he heard someone talking to him at the door of the Ministry of Magic, and although he couldn't make out what the words were, Harry was captivated by it.
He stepped forward to the table and slowly extended his right hand to the fluorescence in the center of the arch on the drawing......
His right hand touched a white fluorescent glow, which began to slowly spin around the center of the arch.
The fluorescence gradually turned pale green, the stars shimmered, and in the center was a view that looked like an endless universe.
The door on the drawing seems to be connected to another dimension, and magical power is pouring out of the arch.
For a moment, Harry thought something was coming out of it, something creepy, and great fear infected him, but Harry quickly came to his senses, and in the end nothing happened, the arch on the drawing was not a physical object, it didn't have that kind of magic, it was just drawn on it.
Perhaps the Black Witch used this way to show Voldemort the arch.
And the phrase Harry had just uttered might have been the spell that the Dark Witch was looking for to open the arch......
