Chapter 485: Time Turner

Not long after the time passed, the catastrophe that occurred in the area of Hogwarts Castle was not known to many people in the British wizarding world, let alone the Muggle world, which was almost isolated from the information of the wizarding world.

Maca walked the streets of London, the traffic and crowds as usual rushing around. For Muggles, they don't have to make any life-or-death decisions, but they still have to run around to fill their bellies.

Maca, who was originally a Muggle, was walking in the flow of people at the moment, but she was deeply touched.

For him, the catastrophe of Hogwarts contrasted sharply with the mundane daily life of the London streetscape.

Occasionally, he couldn't help but think that if he hadn't had that notice, his life would probably have gradually gotten closer to the ordinary people around him in the midst of displacement. I still remember that he also thought that if he saved enough pounds, a lazy life would be the best choice.

But then again, in fact, the net worth he has saved so far is enough for him to live for several lifetimes. And Greenwald is dead, and Voldemort doesn't know when and when he will be resurrected again, if he lets go of his knots, what can't he do with his current strength?

Maca thought aimlessly as he walked slowly, finally stopping when he saw the men's public toilet on the street.

Yes, even if there are many choices in his heart, there is only one choice he can choose now.

After shaking his head and smiling bitterly at his blindness, he put aside the mess and walked to the toilet with his legs up.

It was under a spell that Muggles would not have noticed, even though the toilet stood strangely in the middle of the four lanes.

Maca didn't change herself this time, he just changed into a slightly more formal black coat. This kind of clothing will not look so conspicuous in the Muggle world or in the Ministry of Magic.

To be honest, the Ministry of Magic is indeed not so easy to enter now, because the situation is tense, and the open and secret battles in the Ministry are also turbulent, and the methods of entering the Ministry of Magic have become quite limited.

Most of the Floo network to the Ministry of Magic is locked, and normal apparitions are no longer able to enter the main hall. Except for the guest entrance, where Mr. Weasley took Harry through at the time, there were only major official entrances.

This men's toilet is one of several locations in London.

Last time, if Harry hadn't brought an eight-eyed spider in advance, it would have been difficult for even Maca to reach the Department of Mysteries at the bottom so smoothly.

After all, although the Ministry of Magic does not harden the space like Hogwarts, the anti-apparition charm is still everywhere. Aside from the Portkey, the only way to sneak in is through these fixed-point apparition portals and the rarer chartered Floo network wiring.

In the ordinary days of previous years, few people would have used this kind of official entrance, which was almost almost abolished. But there are a lot of wizards who go to the Ministry of Magic every day to handle official business, but there are only a few entrances left, so there are really a lot of wizards in this toilet at this time.

But Maca didn't care, he knew that as long as he didn't do anything weird, it wouldn't be too difficult to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic.

Well, maybe we'll have to add a confusion charm or two?

He picked a random toilet cubicle and stood at the back of the line in front of the cubicle, waiting for the wizards in front of the queue to dwindle.

In fact, it can be seen here that once you grow up, whether you are a Muggle or a wizard, you will gradually become numb in the day-to-day work. Most of the witches and wizards in the line didn't talk much, just moved forward in order, waiting for their turn.

This did Maca a small favor invisibly, after all, he didn't even have a perfunctory mood now, but this time he infiltrated the Ministry of Magic, but it was inconvenient to make a noise. The clue is the only one, the hope is the only one, and he doesn't want to see his impatience make the final goal come to naught.

It's great not to speak.

The fixed-point directional phantom shifting method is very convenient, and it didn't take long for it to be Maca's turn. He casually pulled the collar of his coat, then pushed open the door of the toilet cubicle and walked in unhurriedly.

If he had to say it, he really wanted to sneak in a less disgusting way.

Seeing that Maca shook her head slightly, she stepped on the toilet in the compartment with her legs raised, and then stuffed her feet together into the toilet. Although the water in the toilet bowl had not even reached his feet and neck, his shoes and socks were not even slightly wet.

After reaching out and pulling the flushing rope, with a whirlwind of the sky, his whole body was pulled into the "sewer pipe" by a suction force.

For Maca, who had never been able to use Apparition, it was one of the few ways he could experience the spell safely, even if he didn't like it at all.

Soon, in the two rows of gilded fireplaces in the main hall of the Ministry of Magic, a figure suddenly stepped out somewhere on the left, and Maca had successfully entered this not unfamiliar place.

There are too many wizards coming and going here, and his appearance can't attract the attention of others at all.

After walking a few steps through the crowd, he took out a bottle of Immortal Hidden Elixir and poured it into his mouth. Hiding in plain sight, the Illusion Charm is obviously not a very good idea.

The effect of the drug is very short-lived, and many people just blink their eyes, and a large living person disappears from their side without any sense of disobedience.

After being invisible, Maca no longer had any scruples, and as his body twisted and contracted, he quickly flew into the air after turning into the form of Animagus, and rushed straight in the direction of the elevator.

If you follow the safest infiltration process, you just need to follow up with the elevator and wait patiently. No matter how up or down the elevator was, there was always a way to the floor he wanted to go to.

However, now he doesn't have that time to spare!

As soon as the elevator arrived, Maca, who was hovering in mid-air, did not fly into the elevator with the flow of people, but waited outside the fence at the door for a while. When the fence closed automatically with a bang, and the elevator suddenly moved deeper, they suddenly passed through the mesh of the fence and flew directly into the passage where the elevator was operating.

The location of the Department of Mysteries was beneath the main hall, and he chose to fly down the elevator shaft himself.

The speed of the magic elevator was very fast, and after moving some distance forward, Maca saw the elevator click and go up quickly. He knew he had to speed up, or the next elevator would hit him.

Without waiting for him to think about it, it was only a few seconds before he heard the faint sound of sliding in the passage on the right. Without hesitation, he unleashed the swiftness of the Assassin's abilities and swooped forward like a sharp blade. Just as he was about to rush into the descending passage, an elevator slid overhead with a "whirl".

Without hesitation, he continued to accelerate down the vertical elevator shaft, and in a short time reached the cross-shaped passage at the bottom.

The Department of Mysteries is located on the ninth basement level of the Ministry of Magic, and there is a dungeon courtroom below, but it is not a floor accessible by elevator.

After flying out of the elevator passage, he finally came to the pure black rotunda again.

Behind each door was a strange and obscure wave of magic that Maca hadn't entered to check one by one, but the Hall of Time was the only way to the Hall of Prophecy, and it was the first room he had entered the last time he had been here.

After circularizing in the rotunda for a while, the machafu reverted to human form and stopped beside one of the black doors.

As he reached out and pushed the door open, a bright light immediately filled his entire field of vision.

It's still the same as the last time he came. All kinds of clocks were scattered, some on the long table in the middle, some hanging on the wall, and some resting directly on the ground.

There is not much in common between these different gauge timepieces, even the hands on the dials are skewed to a very different point in time. But the ticking sound of their operation seemed to be one and the same, all stuck at the same point.

When you are in this layered ticking sound, it seems that every second becomes so clear, definite, and unshakable, even if the stars change and the vicissitudes of the sea, the length of each second will not change in the slightest.

Maca, who is determined to use a time turner to save Hogwarts, becomes a bit of a trance in this environment.

After composing himself, he turned his head and looked to the side of the room.

Right there, against the wall, sat a glass case. Through the glass door, you can see several rows of hourglass timepieces with gold chains.

Those small hourglass timepieces that look like necklaces are his goal this time - the time converter. All he had to do was flip the hourglass stuck in the golden ring, and he could instantly change the time he was in. With each turn, time goes back an hour.

And in the corner of the glass cabinet door, there was a note like this:

"We mark every inch of time, but we never go beyond the sun. Our value to you is measured by your own purpose. ”

Maca's gaze swept over the note, but she couldn't help but smile.

Although this line of writing is a bit mysterious, it is actually just a reminder and warning. It reminds you that the time converter can't go past the point in time you used it; What it warns of is that interfering with time will lead to unpredictable harm.

Maca was not polite, and directly unlocked the protective spell on it, and then opened the glass cabinet door and took five of them at once. In the end, he even used Transfiguration to get five fake ones and put them back.
