At five o'clock the next morning, just as it was getting a glimmer of light, Kyle was woken up by the sound of several owls pecking at the window.

He sat up yawning and rubbed his face in an attempt to clear himself up, and it wasn't until a few minutes later that he realized that he was going to be questioned today.

And Diana also seemed to have something going on, and he needed to go a few hours before the Ministry of Magic went to work.

Thinking of this, Kyle quickly jumped out of bed, dressed up, and went downstairs to the living room to prepare breakfast.

At this time, Chris happened to have a plate of fried ham and a few slices of bread on the table.

"I was about to call you." Chris said, "Want something to drink, how about pumpkin juice." ”

"Yes." Kyle said.

He walked over to Chris's side and sat down, starting to spread raspberry jam on the bread.

"There's no need to rush." Chris brought a large glass of pumpkin juice, "We can just apparilate to London in a moment, it will save a lot of time." ”

Kyle nodded, not speaking.

He had thought about it all night yesterday, and he couldn't understand why Diana had let him go to the Department of Mysteries, and he didn't fall asleep until the wee hours of the morning, when he was sleepy.

After another half hour, when it was beginning to lighten, the two of them walked out of the room.

"Are you ready?" Chris stretched out his arm and said, "Hurry up, we're ready to go." ”

Kyle put his hand on his shoulder.

In the next second, the familiar feeling of squeezing spread throughout his body, and when Kyle opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in an old record store.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the two people, the shopkeeper didn't seem to be much surprised, just looked up at them slightly.

"Chris, is it so early today?"

"Hi, Rod." Chris said hello, "No way, there's still a lot of reports to write." ”

"Those guys who want to raise magical beasts again?" Rod said, "Ever since the Triwizard Tournament ended, everyone seems to have become interested in raising magical beasts, and I dare say you've been busy lately. ”

"yes, I just saved a guy who wanted to raise a horse-shaped water monster yesterday." Chris sighed, "I don't know when they'll understand that not every magical beast is a meek little cutie like Fluffy." ”

"That might be a little hard." Rod said, then he looked back at Kyle, "You're ...... Sorry, this is the internal entrance to the Ministry of Magic staff, and the visitor hall is on the street in front of it. ”

"This is my son, Kyle." Chris hurriedly said: "He is coming to the Ministry of Magic today for questioning, at nine o'clock, in the Law Enforcement Division." ”

"Oh...... He's the same Kyle who won the Triwizard Tournament? Rod, who had been sleepy-eyed, immediately perked up and looked at Kyle curiously.

"I remember him as the youngest warrior...... It's amazing. ”

Then Rod seemed to remember something, and casually clicked on the notebook next to him, and the notebook automatically turned to the latest page, and he turned his head to look at it.

"Yes, that's right, he received a warning letter seven days ago for using a spell at the Cauldron Bar......

"Wait, Leaky Cauldron?"

Rod's voice rose sharply, and he looked at the contents of his notebook with a look of incredulity.

"Merlin's beard, this is the first time I've come across such a ridiculous reason, if you can't even use spells in the Leaky Cauldron, why don't they take the wand away."

"Probably because no one would agree." Chris said.

"Of course no one will agree." Rod sneered and closed his notebook and looked at Kyle again, "Okay kid, it doesn't seem like I've made any mistakes, so you don't need to be nervous.

"Amelia from the Law Enforcement Division is a fair person, and I dare say she won't punish you for such ridiculous reasons."

"Thank you." Kyle said with a smile.

It can be seen that the wizard in front of him is also a good person.

"Can we go in now?" Chris asked, "Sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry. ”

"Of course, go ahead."

Rod tapped his wand on a raised spot on the counter, and the window next to it immediately extended to the left and right, revealing a passageway.

"Thank you." Chris said.

He walked in with Kyle.

Behind the passage was a long hallway, all flanked by fireplaces needed by Floo Net, but it was still early in the morning, and those fireplaces were extinguished.

And in the middle of the hallway, a man was standing waiting for them.

"The timing was just right." Diana walked over and said to Chris, "Wait until half-past eight, and you'll pick him up on the floor of the Department of Mysteries." ”

"Okay." Chris said.

"Follow me now."

Diana leads Kyle out of the fireplace hallway and into the elevator.

There was no one here either, except for a cold voice that occasionally announced the floor they were on.

"Remember, don't run around for a while, don't look around, just follow me."

In the elevator, Diana instructed, "And whatever you see inside, don't tell anyone else when you get out, including the Weasley brothers and the girl named Connor." ”

"yes, I see." Kyle nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kyle heard a cold voice come from him.

"Department of Mysteries."

"Here we are." Diana was the first to step out of the elevator, and Kyle hurriedly followed.

He'd been here once, but that time he got out of the elevator and turned onto the stairs on the left. But this time, he followed Diana through the empty hallway to the simple door at the end.

"Remember, don't look around, and don't walk around." Diana said again, and then pushed open the door and stepped in.

Behind the door was a large circular room, as if it had been washed with ink, the ceiling and floor, black everywhere, and the walls were dotted with candles in the shape of branches, but the flames were blue, cold, and completely devoid of temperature.

The doors on the walls are also black and unmarked, and they all look exactly the same.

But Diana only glanced at it, and walked straight to the door in front of her.

Next, Kyle feels like he's back in time to the final event of the Triwizard Tournament, which is a maze.

There were the same colors, the same buildings, the same doors, and if he relaxed a little, he might forget where he had come in.

After walking for nearly ten minutes, Kyle finally saw something different.

It was a huge tank that filled an entire room, and occasionally what looked like a brain could be seen inside.

He had seen this thing, and when interrogating Peter Pettigrew, Diana used it to discover the secret that Peter was a secret.

It's just that at that time, this tank was only the size of a table, far smaller than what you see now.

Further along, there was a room shrouded in golden air, and as he walked through it, Kyle could always hear a ticking sound, like the sound of the hour hand stirring, and like an hourglass of water droplets.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Kyle walked and walked, and suddenly felt as if he had grown a little taller, the clothes that had just fitted him had become smaller, he felt a little squeezed at his shoulders, and he also showed a section of his ankle.

But within a few seconds, the clothes grew larger again, and his trousers dragged on the floor, almost tripping him over.

By the time Diana pushed open the door at the end and Kyle crossed the threshold, everything was back to normal in an instant.

At the same time, Diana also stopped, and did not go any further.

"This is it." She said.

Kyle looked up and saw that they were in a large, cavern-like place.

They were surrounded by a staircase-like bench that descended at a steep angle, similar to the stadium of the Quidditch World Cup, and they stood at the top.

From here, you can see a high stone platform with a stone arch erected on it, which looks old, old and dilapidated.

"Come on."

Diana pulled Kyle and took a step forward.

In just one step, they stepped over the rows of stairs and appeared on the stone platform.

Phantom shapeshifting?

No, probably not, Apparition Shifter wouldn't be so quiet.

But what could that be......

Kyle himself was inevitably a little curious, but seeing Diana's serious face, he couldn't help but ask.

"Come over here."

Diana pulls Kyle into the middle of the stone arch.

There was a ripple of water on the stone door, like a vertical water surface, and beyond that, a white mist was slowly drifting, making it impossible to see what was inside.
