December 25th, Christmas.

On this day, a big event happened in the Muggle world: the Soviet Union collapsed on this day. The collapse of this behemoth caused an uproar around the world, even in the wizarding world.

Yes, that's right, the world is 1991.

It was also on this day that the whole school at Hogwarts was closed, and most of the students and professors went home for Christmas, with only a few school caretakers, such as Hagrid and Filch, remaining on campus. Li Quan also packed his bags early in the morning and prepared to carry out his plan.

"Dangdangdang."

There was a knock at the door. Li Quan didn't need to open the door to hear who was outside the door, it was Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

He walked over and opened the door, and saw the three people standing at the door smiling and saying to him in unison, "Professor Li, Merry Christmas!" Then they handed over the prepared gifts.

"Thank you, Harry, Ron, Hermione." Li Quan smiled and accepted the gifts of the three people, and then he flipped his palm casually, and a long gift box wrapped in a cardboard box appeared in his hand. He smiled and handed the long box to Harry and said, "This is a Christmas present for you, Harry. Merry Christmas. ”

"For me?" Harry took it in surprise and delight, looked at the tightly wrapped box, and looked up expectantly, "Can I open it, Professor?" ”

"Of course, it's yours." Li Quan said with a smile.

As Ron and Hermione watched, Harry scrambled to open the box, and the three of them were completely stunned by the object that appeared in the box.

"Firebolts!" Harry and Ron exclaimed in unison.

Li Quan's Christmas gift to Harry was a firebolt broomstick. The Firebolt is a professional-grade broomstick used only by professional Quidditch players, more than a level faster than the Halo 2000. He ordered two from Diagon Alley before the festival and got one for himself, which was much faster than the Halo 2000.

"This, this is too precious, Professor. I can't ......" Harry hesitated, his face clearly full of reluctance, but he still wanted to refuse.

Li Quan raised his hand to interrupt him, and said to Harry with a smile, "It's okay Harry, it's nothing to me. I hope you can use it well. Gryffindor has to win Quidditch this year, and I'm sure you can. ”

"Okay, Professor. I will definitely go the extra mile! Harry laughed heartily with joy and excitement.

Li Quan smiled and nodded, then looked at Hermione, his right hand flipped again like a trick, and a delicately wrapped gift appeared in his hand. He handed the gift to Hermione. "Merry Christmas, Hermione. This is for you. ”

"Thank you, Professor Li!"

Hermione smiled sweetly, then she opened her gift as Harry and Ron watched, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my God! It's a limited edition of Cursed and Anti-Damned! It's so beautiful, I love it so much! Thank you, Professor! ”

Li Quan's Christmas gift to Hermione was a hardcover spell book, which according to the Blotted bookstore was a limited edition. Curses and Anti-Curses is a book about advanced spells, perfect for a scholar like Hermione.

Seeing that both of his companions had gifts, Ron couldn't wait to look at Li Quan with his expectant gaze.

Li Quan smiled slightly, of course he would not favor one over the other, and also prepared one for Ron. "This is for you, Ron. Merry Christmas. He pulled a sizable box out of the storage compartment and pushed it to Ron.

"That's a big ......," Harry exclaimed in unison.

Especially Ron, who was already fainting with excitement, what was in it?

After the box was opened, Ron's whole body was distracted, his face was full of happy smirks, and he almost forgot to say thank you, but Hermione next to him poked him hard, and he came to his senses and hurriedly thanked him.

Li Quan didn't care. His gift to Ron was relatively simple, a large box of magical joke shop specialties in Diagon Alley, and he was sure Ron would like it, and sure enough.

He also experienced the custom of Westerners giving gifts to each other at Christmas for the first time, and he found it very interesting. It cost a lot of money, including the box for Ron, but it was nothing to him. With his current net worth in Azeroth, he is a local tyrant when he comes to the wizarding world, and he doesn't care about this little money at all.

In fact, he also wanted to see what gifts Harry and the three had given him. Now, though, is not the time. There are more important things waiting for him to do.

After Harry, Ron, and Hermione left happily, Li Quan also left the school alone, rode a fire crossbow arrow, and quickly flew away from Hogwarts.

……

London.

Li Quan wore a black trench coat and black sunglasses, dressed like Neo in the Matrix. His outfit may be normal in the 21st century, but this is London in 1991, and this alternative look appears on the streets of London like a mafia, and passers-by next to him have voluntarily retreated.

He had already inquired about the location of the Ministry of Magic, which was hidden somewhere underground in London, protected by magic, and Muggles could not enter directly, only wizards could pass through.

It didn't take much trouble for Li Quan to find the entrance, which was a seemingly ordinary phone booth with no one inside. Just walk in and dial in a fixed number, and a door will crack open in the wall of the building adjacent to the phone booth, and people can pass through.

"Luckily, it's not like in the movies, where the entrance needs to be drilled through a flush toilet." Li Quan thought as he dialed.

In order not to give the Ministry of Magic a clue that he had been there, he had changed his appearance before he came, and by this time his appearance had changed to the appearance of a passerby before with Ellie's Sky Mirror.

As he typed the number into the old-fashioned turntable telephone, a door appeared on the left-hand wall, and all the wall tiles "crackled" like the Diagon Alley entrance. He looked to the left and right, but no one noticed him, and then stepped inside.

The next moment, he walked out of the reception hall of the Ministry of Magic. Because it's Christmas, the Ministry of Magic is very deserted, and most people don't come to the Ministry of Magic on Christmas Day. And that's exactly what he wants.

Li Quan walked calmly in the direction of the elevator. This elevator leads to any floor of the Ministry of Magic. The time watch is stored in the warehouse of the Department of Mysteries, although he has never been there, and he doesn't know how many floors the Department of Mysteries is, but there will be voice prompts in the elevator. Thanks for the magic.

Li Quan was alone when he walked into the elevator, and when the elevator passed the first floor, a male witch walked in.

The wizard was apparently a member of the Ministry of Magic, and continued to work overtime on holidays when everyone was off, which was clearly a bitter character.

When the wizard walked into the elevator, he just glanced at Li Quan lightly, but he didn't care, and stood with his hands tied and didn't squint. Li Quanxin said that the opportunity had come.

When the elevator doors opened again, there was only one person left in the elevator, and it was the wizard.

At this time, a lukewarm female voice in the elevator automatically announced the floor: "The fourth floor, the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control, contains the Beasts, Aliens and Ghosts Office, the Fairy Liaison Office and the Pest Consultation Office. ”

At the same time, a witch walked in from the fourth floor, and when she saw the witch, the witch smiled at him and said, "Hey, Tom, didn't Merry complain to you, won't you go back tonight?" "The witch apparently knows the man.

But Li Quan didn't know this witch, and the male witch was the one he used Ellie's Heavenly Mirror to conjure. Hearing the witch talking to him, Li Quan had no choice but to try to answer in the tone he should have: "Yes, it's really damned." I even have to work overtime at Christmas. ”

The witch laughed, and she began to talk about other small talk. Li Quan had no choice but to deal with it.

Fortunately, his acting skills have been trained several times and are not bad, and the witch failed to find any suspicions. Plus she got off the elevator very quickly. It's just that after going out, she looked over and asked Li Quan suspiciously, "Aren't you coming?" The sixth floor arrived. ”

Just now, Li Quan had already heard the elevator announce the floor: "The sixth floor, the Magic Traffic Division, includes the Floo Network Administration, the Flying Broomstick Management and Control Bureau, the Portkey Office, and the Phantom Manifestation Test Center. ”

"Looks like both the wizard and the witch are working on this floor." Li Quan thought about it, and casually found an excuse to prevaricate: "Oh, no, I still have to go up, there are some quite troublesome things." Alas...... Christmas is also not restless. ”

"Good luck then." The witch laughed. The elevator doors closed again. Li Quan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The elevator quickly passed another floor. The female voice said, "The seventh floor, the Department of Magical Sports, contains the headquarters of the British and Irish Quidditch League, the official Gobstone Club, and the Office of Patents for Funny Products. ”

Li Quan found that the elevator had been moving downward. In other words, this seven floors are actually seven underground floors. He remembered that the floor where the Department of Mysteries was located was supposed to be on the ninth floor.

On the eighth floor, no one entered the elevator. After all, it's Christmas, and Westerners attach the most importance to this holiday, whether Muggles or wizards, just like the Chinese Spring Festival, no one wants to miss it. This creates great convenience for his infiltration. At another time, I'm afraid that someone should be interrogated when I go down to the eighth floor.

The elevator finally went down to the ninth floor.

And this time the voice was not announced, and the elevator door opened directly.

Li Quan stepped out of the elevator and found that it was pitch black all around, and there was no light around, and he couldn't even identify the direction.

This is the most confidential and mysterious place in the Ministry of Magic. He had done his homework before he arrived, knowing that in order to find the time watch on this floor, he would first have to find the warehouse in many different rooms. There are many halls on this floor, which are responsible for the study of various esoteric magic. Among them, the Hall of Brain, the Hall of Death, and the Hall of Time are the most mysterious. Secondly, there are rooms such as the Hall of Prophecy and the Planetary Chamber. It's easy for first-time visitors to get lost. Harry Potter and the others broke in once in their fifth year, and here they engaged in a desperate fight with the Death Eaters who also broke in.

A fluorescent light appeared, illuminating Li Quan's figure. This is when he takes out his phone to illuminate it, and a real wizard will use a lighting charm here.

He looked around, and the corridor he was in led in three directions, and it was hard to say which way to take that would lead to the warehouse. Fortunately, he was prepared for this.

He saw that as soon as he turned his palm, a small pile of golden sand appeared in the palm of his hand, and he threw the fine sand evenly into the air, and immediately a beautiful golden band of light appeared in front of him, lingering in the air, pointing him in the direction.

This is the Sands of Time given to him by the Bronze Dragon, and its real purpose is to allow the time traveler to pinpoint time in the flow of time, where he uses it to find the location of the Time Pocket Watch, and the Sands of Time will sense nearby time-related objects and bring him there.

Everything went smoothly.

Through the guidance of the Sands of Time, Li Quan successfully found the warehouse of the Department of Mysterious Affairs. He pushed the door directly in, and then was speechless by the towering black mountains in front of him, with no end in sight. In desperation, he took out a small pinch of the sand of time and threw it into the air, and then followed the instructions of the golden sand flowing.

The illumination of the mobile phone is as small as a firefly in the Black Forest, which covers an area of more than 1,000 square meters. The boundless darkness around him seemed to be ready to devour the light in Li Quan's hand at any time. He looked around the shelves, making out the handwriting, each of which was a magical item that had been collected by the Ministry of Magic for generations with an unclear function, or that had been shelved away. In fact, what he had been puzzled about was how such a powerful magic weapon as the Time Pocket Watch could be put here and discarded, as if the Ministry of Magic didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, this time he had to get his pocket watch. Once you get it, you can immediately return to your own world, activate time travel, and go back to before that happened......

The magic of this small pile of sands of time was exhausted again. He could only throw a handful of the sands of time out, this time finally bringing him to a shelf. The sands of time drifted towards the top of the shelves, meaning that the things he wanted should be stored at the top of the shelves.

Li Quan rode a firebolt and slowly rose. When he came to the place where the Sands of Time had stopped, he saw at a glance what he was looking for, a gold-plated pocket watch with a classic shape lying quietly.

He reached out and easily reached for the pocket watch, which, with a thought, tucked it away into storage.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly and easily.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a voice from the entrance of the warehouse ask, "Who is there?" At the same moment a white light came out, apparently from a wand, and it came towards him.

Without saying a word, Li Quan raised the dragon's blood tree wand, and without reciting a spell, a green light bullet shot directly towards the other party.

He didn't even plan to quietly take the time watch, which was the stupidest thing to do. He wrote to the Ministry of Magic to request that the time pocket watch was recorded, and now that the pocket watch was lost, fools knew who to suspect.

So the waters have to be muddied so that everyone doesn't know what's really going on.

What could muddy the waters more than to do a sabotage?
