072 Conversation Heard Accidentally (Ask for Collection, Recommend Ticket, Ask for Monthly Pass)
1 "Forbidden Misuse of Magic, it's you. ”
When William passes by the Wizengamot Administration and the Magical Law Enforcement Scout, he finally finds his destination, the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic.
It is responsible for enforcing the Wizarding and Wizarding Federation Secrecy Act and the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards Act, and regulates illegal acts, including prohibiting wizards from using magic in front of Muggles and prohibiting underage wizards from using magic outside of school.
For example, the traces on the body of underage wizards are managed by this department. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, it is from this department that Harry receives a warning letter from the Ministry of Magic.
In addition to the above functions, this department also has the additional management of wizards who apply to borrow a time turner. After all, time converters are too special and can have serious negative effects if used incorrectly.
Therefore, after a meeting, the top management of the Ministry of Magic decided to let the Department of Magical Law Enforcement manage the application and borrowing of time converters in the Time Hall of the Department of Mysteries.
Wizards who want to use the time turner must first apply to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and after the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic agrees, they will send someone to the Department of Mysteries to retrieve the time turner.
So at the moment the Ministry of Magic is lending a couple of time-turners to which wizard. Its detailed records are kept in the department's archives.
"Huh? Someone's coming! ”
Just as William was about to push open the door to the Office where the abuse of magic was forbidden, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the hallway behind him.
Thinking that the Aurors who had been on duty on other floors had returned, he raised his arms and prepared to activate the Magic Combat Module, ready to fight at any time.
Due to the fear that the magic fluctuations released by Mark One's reconnaissance system would cause a warning from the Ministry of Magic's defense system, he did not open the detection system after he entered the Ministry of Magic.
So he couldn't see who was coming in this dimly lit hallway.
"Mr. Weasley, are you still at the Ministry of Magic so late? Sure enough, it's time for your office to hire a new batch of people. ”
A younger voice came into William's mind, and when he heard the name Arthur Weasley, he withdrew the magic combat module on his arm. Listen quietly to their conversation.
"Oh, Abra. The Office Against the Misuse of Muggle Objects is not a popular department. The students who have graduated from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry now do not like to join us, they prefer to join you. I feel like working in our department is hard work. ”
At the door of the Auror's office, Arthur Weasley said helplessly to the little Auror Aura in front of him, who had just joined the Ministry of Magic for three years.
From the time he became a staff member of the Ministry of Magic to the present, the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Objects had no more than five personnel at its peak. Over the years, these five people have been promoted, transferred, and retired.
At present, he is left in the office with an old John who is about to retire. And today, when John Sr. was dealing with a wizard casting magic on Muggle items at will, John Sr. relapsed and was admitted to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.
Because of this, he rushed back to the Ministry of Magic after everyone was off work, ready to store the items he had collected today in the evidence room of the office.
"Haha, Mr. Weasley, you're busy. Brown went on patrol in the Department of Mysteries and hasn't come back yet, so I need to go over and see if he's lazy again. ”
Abrath was embarrassed by Arthur Weasley's words, as he was graduating from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry when he was almost assigned to the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Objects due to insufficient grades in the Ministry of Magic interview assessment.
Fortunately, the student, who was one year older than him at the time, changed his mind and went to work at Gringotts, which allowed him to enter the Auror office without any problems.
Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Items. Except for a few brainless guys, no one wants to get into this department.
Abra may have been a little weak after being embarrassed, so he found a reason to say goodbye to Arthur Weasley and walked in the direction of the elevator.
Arthur Weasley looked at Abra's back, shook his head helplessly, and continued to walk towards the end of the hallway, where there was a small office, which was his office - the Office for the Prohibition of Muggle Objects.
"Looks like the archives can't go. I need to get out of here right away. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable! ”
When William heard that the Auror named Abra was going to the Department of Mysteries, he guessed that he was looking for the Auror he had killed. There was a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, if the Auror found out that the Time Chamber of the Mystic Affairs Division was on fire.
He will definitely activate the Ministry of Magic warning system, and he will most likely be trapped in the Ministry of Magic.
But now Arthur Weasley was walking in his direction, and if he pushed open the door of his office or chose to escape the Ministry by elevator, he would definitely be noticed by Arthur Weasley, who was also in the hallway.
The current situation no longer allowed him to enter the archives to find the wizard file that borrowed the time-turner.
Though somewhat reluctant, William had to get out of the place before the Auror, named Abra, found out that the Hall of Time was on fire.
Kill the Auror?
Don't think about it, the only way to get from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement to the Department of Mysteries is an elevator. William couldn't have dared to kill them before they found out about the fire in the Hall of Time.
"Really, there are no stairs. So... I'm sorry, Mr. Weasley. ”
Looking at Arthur Weasley getting closer and closer, and the footsteps of the Aurors getting weaker and weaker in the distance, William couldn't hesitate any longer. This time, he's here to destroy the Time Converter, not the Ministry of Magic.
As an ordinary person, he had no idea what the Ministry of Magic's defenses were like. If you don't leave the Ministry of Magic before the Auror finds out something is wrong with the Time Hall.
William is likely to find himself in an uncontrollable situation.
The situation is critical, and William has to take action against Arthur Weasley. Then quickly run to the elevator and leave the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, and return to the lobby of the Ministry of Magic to take the phone booth to leave here.
When Arthur Weasley walked up to William. William took advantage of his invisibility to quickly wave his arm and slash at the back of Arthur's neck.
"Thank you for showing up and letting me hear that Auror is going to the Department of Mysteries. I'll make it up to you if I have the chance. ”
William watched Arthur fall to the ground, muttered a low word, and walked quickly towards the elevator.
He knew in his heart that if it weren't for Arthur's arrival, he wouldn't have known that an Auror was going to the Department of Mysteries.
If the Auror discovers that the Time Chamber is on fire, he will definitely notify the other Aurors on duty in the Ministry of Magic and activate the Ministry's defense system.
When the phone booth passage is closed, William will be trapped in the Ministry of Magic forever. Even if he killed these Aurors, he wouldn't be able to find a way out of here anytime soon.
