"It's ...... What's going on? ”

Looking at the golden carved wood display case that was completely caught in the dead loop of time, Scrimgour's expression was full of astonishment. But Maca, who was standing in front of him, only narrowed her eyes slightly, without any expression on her face.

"Mr. Scrimgeur," he said, "it is evident that there have been 'visits' to you once before we arrived. ”

That cabinet contained all of the Ministry's existing time turners, including the five before Maca, from which they had been taken.

In addition to the Ministry of Magic, there may be a few wizarding families that also have one or two secretly hidden, but Maca is sure that the total number of these things is definitely not much.

After all, the Time Turner was originally a legacy of the British Wizards' Council, the predecessor of the British Ministry of Magic.

They were created by the original members of the Institute of Ancient Magic and Alchemy, established by the Council of Wizards centuries ago.

After all, Maca didn't set foot in the Hall of Time, he just stared at the door for a moment, and then retreated into the rotunda outside.

"I don't think I can ask anything about you...... But Mr. Scrimgeur, if you can get any clues from my colleagues in the Department of Mysteries, don't hesitate to contact me and let me know. Well, then ......"

Speaking of this, Maca suddenly spread her hands.

"Like I said before – I'm short on time this time, so it's time to go."

……

Even the time turner stored by the Ministry of Magic was secretly destroyed, which made Maca's heart, which was already suspended because of Luna's affairs, sink again and again.

Of the time turners he knew, there were still three left that he hadn't looked at. But if you want to say that they are still intact...... To be honest, Maca is really at a loss now.

After leaving the Ministry of Magic, Maca could only stop thinking about it and leave London to return to Hogwarts to have a look.

At the same time, in the ward of St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic......

"Harry, you...... Are you really going to Diagon Alley? Don't think about it anymore? ”

Right now, most of the friends in the ward were sitting or standing, looking at Harry by the window with complicated expressions. Harry's girlfriend, Ginny, stood across from him, staring at him with an unconcealed anxiety in her eyes.

That's right, as Ginny said, Harry decided to leave St. Mungo with the Gryffindor sword and rush to Diagon Alley to support the Order of the Phoenix, led by Sirius, Lupin, and Kingsley.

But on the other hand, Ginny knew that if Harry really went...... Even if she really wanted to follow in Harry's footsteps, she could only stay here and wait silently.

Because, Harry may have the capital to go out now, but Ginny obviously doesn't have it. If she goes with her, she is destined to become a useless burden.

"Well," said Harry, taking Ginny's hand earnestly, "Ginny, I've thought about it a lot—especially after hearing the dangers Hermione and Miss Parkinson talk about, and I feel like I should go out and do my part. ”

As he spoke, Harry looked over to Hermione, and then saw Hermione, who was sitting on the edge of Luna's bed, also looking at him silently.

He paused for a moment before continuing:

According to Hermione, in addition to Helmo himself, there was a very strange-looking wizard with black eyes who attacked them on the street outside. Although the strange wizard was quickly restrained by Maca, that didn't mean that his strength was vulnerable. ”

"On the contrary, the power of a wizard who can fight Maca back and forth without being injured is anything but ordinary...... What's more, in the end, he seems to have been taken away by Helbo before leaving! ”

Hearing Harry say this, Ginny was just stunned, and soon said with a worried face:

"Could it be...... Are you trying to deal with that guy alone? ”

"Oh, no," Harry said with a quick wave of his hand, "I'm certainly not that stupid—to be exact, I wanted to be when Sirius they met that man, I ...... The Gryffindor Sword and I are both capable of doing what we should. ”

"Hmm-"

Ginny wasn't incomprehensible to Harry's thoughts, but to be honest, it was really hard for her to let Harry run outside to fight in the already dangerous city of London.

After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but cast a look at Hermione that was a mixture of inquiry and help.

Seeing Ron's sister and her own schoolmate looking at her pitifully, Hermione was actually a little embarrassed. Because judging by what she was thinking about now, she didn't really want Harry to go out either.

But after what Maca said earlier, she also realized that everyone should have the right and freedom to choose how they act.

It's like Maca is always respecting every step she takes.

"Harry, if you really understand what you're up against, I wouldn't object."

After a moment's thought, Hermione finally spoke, but what she said didn't seem to be what Ginny had thought. Hearing hermione, she continued:

"However, I only hope that when you go out to help everyone, you must always remember that there are still people waiting for you to return safe and sound."

"Oh, of course," said Halliden, nodding his head and turning his head to Ginny, "I promise you that in case of danger, I will put my life first." After all...... Now my life is not just mine. ”

“…… Harry. ”

Ginny knew that she probably had no reason to let Harry stay, so she could only purse her lips and nod her head with a slight red eye.

"I see...... You have to be careful! ”

Needless to say, while Helmao's strength far surpassed Voldemort's, Helbo's men were not comparable to the Death Eaters of the past.

If it had only been the Dark Lord of the past, Ginny might not have been so worried. But now not to mention her, even Maca is already in a struggle, and the severity of the situation is self-evident.

"Then I'll go......" "Wait!"

Just as Harry was about to say goodbye to Ginny and leave, Hermione suddenly stopped him again.

"Huh? Anything else? ”

As Harry was slightly confused, Hermione picked up the bag she had put aside and reached for it, and then pulled out a large stack of palm-sized thin stone slabs.

"This was originally intended to be used by me for self-defense in a critical moment, it is a set of ancient magic text combinations that can activate powerful protective spells, and it needs to be spread on the ground and used like the magic text array we arranged in the school." "I've tried to simplify it as much as possible, but it's clear that I didn't even get a chance to take it out when I faced Helpo. ”

Thinking of the feeling of powerlessness at that time, Hermione couldn't help but glance down at Luna again, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

“…… However, if you encounter some danger that you are not caught off guard, I think you may be able to use it. ”

Harry immediately walked up to Hermione to take it from her, but Hermione's hand suddenly retracted.

"Don't worry!"

She slipped the slate back into her bag, and then gave it to Harry along with it.

"There are also several bottles of white fresh essence, remember to use them as soon as possible if you get hurt, and of course there are many other useful things - in fact, I should have been going with you anyway at the same time you decided to go. It's just that...... Helmo had apparently already had his eye on me, and it would be a very stupid and irresponsible act for me to go out again......"

"I know," Harry nodded hurriedly, raising the sword in his hand, "I'll leave it to me!" I'll take your place and everyone's place to punish those hateful dark wizards! ”

"Be careful on the road."

……

If I had to say, Harry, who now holds the Gryffindor Sword in his hand, may really be the only one of all his friends who has enough power to protect himself.

Although even he didn't know what was going on, and he didn't have Gryffindor's approval, he still had the power to wield a sword against enemies.

However, Maca actually knew in her heart that Harry was far from being able to master the Gryffindor Sword now.

In any case, this sword is also an ancient magic item at the same level as a series of sources of evil, such as the Monument of Bewitchment and the Mirror of Devouring, and the power contained in it can be said to be beyond Harry's imagination.

To put it bluntly, he is now just an ordinary wizard who has reaped a little physical benefit from it, and has an ordinary wizard who can hold it without being corrupted by sin.

But even this "little bit" is enough for him to show a considerable combat effectiveness.

After all, the Gryffindor Sword was the only weapon in Maca's known form of a weapon to the "source of evil". Similar to it, it seems that only the "dagger of pain" that can seal people's emotions and emotions back then is left.

"Harry!"

At the entrance to the waiting hall, Harry, who was about to go out with his sword in hand, heard a sudden shout behind him. When he looked back, he realized that it was Neville who had stopped him.

"Neville, you're—"

Neville wasn't in Luna's hospital room just now, but went to another room for his parents and grandmother. But now when he saw each other again, Harry saw in him a feeling of wanting to walk with him.

Sure enough, in the next second, Neville was able to speak resolutely:

"You're going to Sirius, aren't you? Count me in! ”

"Uh......" Harry hesitated, "then, what about Hannah?" ”

"I've told her that she'll stay here and accompany my mom and dad and grandma on my behalf; I'm going to take their place and kick all the dark wizards out of the wizarding world in Britain! ”
