"This is it!"

When Harry saw the beautiful, diamond-like leaping light, he was immediately sure it was the room. It was only after everyone's eyes gradually adjusted to the dazzling light that they could see that the dials of many clocks were shining. They come in all sizes, from floor-to-ceiling grandfather clocks to travel clocks, hanging from bookshelves to tables the length of a room. Because of this, a rapid, never-ending tick filled the room, like the sound of thousands of tiny footsteps. The diamond-like leap of light came from a bell-shaped glass dome standing tall at the end of the room.

"This way!"

Once he knew that they were on the right track, Harry became confident. He walked ahead, walking along the narrow gap between the tables towards the light source, just as he had done in his dreams. The bell-shaped glass cover was as tall as Harry, and it stood on a table, which seemed to be filled with a churning, glittering current.

"Oh, look!" As they approached, Ginny pointed to the center of the bell-shaped glass cover.

In the flickering light, a small egg as bright as a jewel floated. As it rose in the glass cover, it cracked open, and a hummingbird emerged and rose straight to the top of the glass cover, but as the air flow fell, the bird's feathers were stained and wet again until it landed at the very bottom of the glass cover, where it was locked in the egg again.

"Keep walking, we're going to get the prophecy ball at speed!" Lockhart snapped, as Ginny seemed eager to stop and watch the egg turn into a bird.

"Just look!" muttered Ginny dissatisfied, but followed him anyway, through the bell-shaped glass cover to the only door behind it.

"This is it. Harry paused, "Just walk through this door." ”

"Remus...... Ah no, Seamus, do you know where the prophecy ball is? Lockhart shook his wand, "Harry, remember where you looked?"

"Remember, row 97, could it be right in that place?" replied Harry after a moment's thought.

"It seems to be in row 97, let's go check it out. Lupin affirmed.

"Go in first, everyone beware. "They pushed the door in and finally found the place. It was as tall as a church, lined with towering shelves and dusty glass balls, and nothing else. More candlesticks were embedded in the shelves at regular intervals, and a faint light shone from them, and the flames were blue, just like those in the black round room. The little glass balls glow faintly in the light. It was cold inside the house.

Lockhart led the group slowly forward, and glanced down at the dark aisle between the two rows of shelves, he could not hear a sound, nor could he feel any movement, not even the slightest movement.

"Row 97. Hermione whispered beside Lockhart, "That should go this way." ”

"Everybody get your wand ready, and if you get to safety. Lockhart repeated uneasily.

They crept along the long aisle between the shelves, glancing back from time to time that it was almost pitch black in the distance. The shelves underneath each glass ball are labeled with small, yellowed labels. Some of the balls emit a mysteriously flowing light, while others are blurry and dark, like a light bulb that has gone out.

They walked through the 90th row, the 91st row......

"This is it, which one?" asked Hermione in a whisper.

"I haven't seen it either, it should have Harry's name?" Lupin guessed.

"Find!" Hermione immediately lit her wand and found it on the shelf, "Let's find it!"

So Lockhart, Ginny, and the others joined in, lit their wands, and looked closely. "Don't look at the ones that are so dark that they don't shine at all, I guess the prophecy about Harry will be bright. ”

"I saw it at a glance!" Ron smirked out to the group, pointing to a small glass ball, dirty, as if it hadn't been touched in years. But the glimmer inside made it glow a little.

Lockhart walked over and saw the prophecy about Harry. Three lines are written in elaborate font, the first row is about a date from sixteen years ago, followed by Sybil P. Trelawney's prophecy to Albus Percival Woolfrik Brian Dumbledore, and the bottom row is the Dark Lord and Harry Potter.

"That's it. ”

"A prophecy about you, Harry!" Ron exclaimed, "Sounds so cool!"

"Take it down. Lockhart said to Harry, "And we'll go." ”

"Good. Harry nodded, Harry wasn't tall, even about the same height as Hermione because he was a year younger. He stood on tiptoe and took the prophecy ball down with both hands. The moment the prophecy ball left its base, Lockhart felt a faint wave of mana, which he guessed was a security measure that the Ministry of Magic had given to the prophecy orb.

"A prophecy about me," said Harry, "it feels amazing, Professor...... Ah no, Neville. ”

At this point, Lockhart keenly sensed the faint sound of footsteps coming from all around him, or more accurately, the sound of their footsteps not being concealed at all. Behind their right, a lazy voice sounded. "Very well, Potter, now turn around slowly and give it to me. ”

Carelessly, Lockhart secretly exclaimed in his heart, since the Order of the Phoenix can set an alarm spell in the Department of Mysteries, then this prophecy ball must also have the detection magic of the Death Eaters. But the Prophecy Room of the Department of Mysteries is completely condensed and cannot be entered by any displacement magic, and I don't know how long these Death Eaters have been hiding around?

But Yiqiē didn't get out of the control of the Order of the Phoenix, didn't he, and took the elevator up the door, where at least 20 good wizards were waiting for the Death Eaters to throw themselves into the net. Shadows emerged from the darkness around them, blocking their paths, their eyes glistening through the gaps in their hoods, and a dozen wands with shiny tips aimed at their hearts. They wore invisibility cloaks and stood guard for hours.

Ginny held her breath in fright, and Hermione nervously grabbed Neville's hand at once, though it felt weird......

"Give it to me, Potter. Lucius, Malfoy repeated slowly, palm up. There are a lot of people, how to deal with it, Lockhart's mind is in a hurry, he regrets a little that he brought a few unrelated children, if he only brought Harry, Lockhart and Lupin, the two defense professors, it would be easy to protect Harry from here.
