Chapter 683: The Battle of the Department of Mysteries
Kyle has a hard time describing how he feels, he has only been asleep for less than ten minutes before he is woken up.
"Fred, George, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation." Kyle sat up from the bed and rubbed his face, trying to sober himself up.
It's amazing that he can still see Fred and George in the dormitory.
As for Mikel and Ryan, their beds were empty, and they were supposed to be playing wizarding chess in the common room, and Kyle remembered that they said they were going to play an all-nighter today.
"I know you're graduating soon, and you can't afford everything Hogwarts, and you want to save your sleep time and look twice, but I'll be here next year......
Kyle couldn't help but say, "And this is the Hufflepuff dorm, how the hell did you get in." ”
"Cedric, of course, brought us in." Fred said with a grin.
"Leave that alone." George said, "You've been to the principal's office before, right? ”
Kyle nodded, "Been there, what's wrong?" ”
"So, what's been going on with the Order of the Phoenix lately?" Fred asked, lowering his voice.
"I haven't heard of it." Kyle thought for a moment, "What are you asking for?" ”
"That's weird." George said suspiciously, "Since there is no activity, why did Harry leave the school?" ”
"Leaving school? What do you mean. ”
"They just flew away out of thin air." Fred explained, "We were discussing the opening of the Weasley Joke Shop, and when I looked up, I saw Harry flying in the sky. ”
"And Hermione and Ron." George added.
"They seem to be riding something, but we can't see it." Fred said, "I guess it's Thestrals." ”
"What?" Kyle came to his senses in an instant.
He didn't expect Dumbledore to make his words so clear, and Harry actually believed his dream......
Needless to say, his purpose must have been to go to the Ministry of Magic, after all, Kyle had heard him mention this place when he was outside the headmaster's office before.
And this is a trap at all, Harry has passed, which means that the Death Eaters will also go...... Or maybe they've arrived, just waiting for Harry.
"Damn, when is this happening!"
"I guess it was two hours ago." Fred thought for a moment and said, "We had been arguing about the activities to be carried out for the opening just now, and then we suddenly remembered it when we came here at night...... Wait Kyle, where are you going? ”
Under the wistful gaze of the Weasley brothers, Kyle jumped up from his bed and rushed out of the common room.
On the eighth floor, he happened to meet Dumbledore standing in the doorway of the Gryffindor common room.
"Professor......" Kyle sped over and repeated what he had just heard.
"I already know." Dumbledore's face was a little ugly.
"Just now, I received the news that Sirius was safe and was about to tell Harry about it, but I seemed to be a step too late.
"I guess they must have left when I destroyed the Horcruxes......"
"So what do we do now?" Kyle asked, "Do you want to go to the Ministry of Magic too?" ”
"I'm going." Dumbledore said, "It's safest for you to stay in school." ”
"Nope." Kyle shook his head and insisted, "They're going to the Department of Mysteries, and my mom is there." ”
Dumbledore hesitated, he wanted to tell Kyle that he didn't need to worry about Diana's safety, but he couldn't say anything.
Because if he were Kyle, he wouldn't be relieved to just listen to someone else's words or two.
"No problem, Professor." Kyle said quickly, "As long as the opponent is not Voldemort, those Death Eaters are not my opponents at all." ”
"Death Eaters aren't as weak as you think, Kyle." Dumbledore said solemnly, "They were once the best wizards, and they had experienced brutal wars firsthand. ”
Kyle didn't speak, just took out his case.
"Uh...... All right. ”
In just a split second, Dumbledore was convinced.
"Hold my hand." Dumbledore said.
Kyle immediately grabbed him by the arm.
Immediately, Fawkes flew over from not far away and grabbed Dumbledore by the shoulder.
After a familiar whirlwind, the corridor with the portrait was gone, replaced by a dark, deep passageway.
"We're at the Ministry of Magic?" Kyle asked, holding back the churning sensation in his stomach, as he opened his eyes.
"Yes, this is the entrance to the Department of Mysteries." Dumbledore looked at the black door at the end of the passage in front of him and said in a deep voice, "I don't think we came too late, they should still be inside." ”
Kyle hurriedly took two steps forward, but when he turned around, he found that Dumbledore was still standing there, he had already taken out his wand, and looked indifferently at the other side of the passage.
"You're here, Tom!"
As Dumbledore's words fell, a tall, thin man wearing a black hood appeared at the end of the passage.
"Ah, Dumbledore......" Voldemort's serpent-like red eyes looked eerie in the pitch black.
Kyle only felt a chill all he had, but he didn't have time to think about it right now.
Dumbledore and Voldemort raised their wands almost at the same time, and two blinding lights, one red and one green, exploded in the narrow passage.
Taking advantage of this, Kyle pushed open the black door as fast as he could.
The moment the door was closed again, the explosions outside stopped abruptly as if nothing had happened.
Kyle gasped for a few breaths before continuing to walk inside.
It would be enough to have Dumbledore outside, and he couldn't help much, the most important thing now was to deal with the Death Eaters in the Department of Mysteries.
Unlike the silence of the last time he came, even when he first entered, Kyle could faintly hear a burst of exclamations and explosions.
Meanwhile, not far away, in a library-like room filled with prophecy balls, Harry was confronting a woman with a disheveled head.
"Where's Sirius?" With a wand in one hand and a crystal prophecy ball in the other, he roared and asked, "You've got him, I know, right here!" ”
"Ho-ho, the baby woke up and was frightened, thinking that everything in the dream was real." Bellatrix said in her throat, but her voice was so ugly that it looked like a saw on glass.
"Oh Bellatrix, you don't know Potter as well as I do." At this moment, another Death Eater came over, "He has a great weakness, personal heroism, and the Dark Lord understands this!" ”
"I know Sirius is here!" Harry said nervously, "I saw you got him!" ”
The Death Eaters laughed.
"You should be able to separate dreams from reality, Potter." Malfoy said, "Alright, give me the Prophecy Orb, and maybe we can let you see Sirius!" ”
Harry didn't move.
From the Death Eater's performance just now, he could gradually determine that Sirius really didn't seem to be here, and Dumbledore was right, it was a hoax.
Harry felt cold in his hands and feet, his stomach seemed to shrink, and he believed the dream, because of something that didn't exist, he brought Ron and Hermione here to die......
"Harry......" Hermione patted him on the shoulder, shaking her head slightly.
"Ah, what a unity." Bellatrix said frantically, "Look at their serious faces, as if they are going to fight us."
"How touching, if you're willing to hand over the prophecy ball, maybe I can consider letting you die together......"
"Shut up!" Harry couldn't help but shout.
Bellatrix let out a wild laugh.
"Do you hear that, do you hear me, he's giving orders to me......"
But in the next second, the wild laughter on her face disappeared in an instant.
"Who gave you the courage to give me orders!"
"Drill the heart and cut the bones!"
Harry didn't react at all, and stood there dumbfounded, but fortunately Hermione reacted quickly and pushed him in time to avoid the Mind Dash Curse.
"Are you crazy?" Malfoy yelled, "In case you break it to pieces......"
"No one but the Dark Lord can command me, and everyone who does it must die!" Bellatrix's chest rose and fell sharply, but fortunately, she was reminded that she finally remembered that she still had something to do.
"Grab the two people next to him, I don't believe that he can be indifferent in the face of his companions being tortured!"
……
"Don't even think about it!" Sirius sprang out of nowhere, his wand pointed at Bellatrix.
"Thunderbolt Explosion!"
Bellatrix flew upside down and crashed into a shelf full of prophecy balls.
Suddenly it rained in the room, and more than a hundred prophecy balls fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, revealing milky white figures and muttering voices.
But because there were so many voices at the same time, everyone couldn't hear what was being said.
"Run!"
Two more men broke in, Moody in front of the Death Eaters, and Mr. Weasley led the three Harry to the nearest door.
"Mr. Weasley, why are you here......" Harry said in surprise.
"We got word from Dumbledore and rushed over at once...... "Mr. Weasley said quickly, "you shouldn't have come." ”
"Arthur is right." Sirius chased after him from behind, "Although you stepped into this trap to save me, I still have to say that you are too impulsive, even if I am really caught, I will not want to see you come to save me...... And the last thing you should do is bring Hermione and Ron with you. ”
"I'm sorry......" Harry looked down in shame.
"We persevered." Ron hurriedly said, "Harry doesn't agree, so we'll sneak behind him......"
"Stupid!" Moody also came, glancing at Sirius, "You've taught them something before, Dumbledore should have let me teach the lower grades." ”
Sirius didn't speak.
"Okay, don't say that much." Mr. Weasley rounded, "Hurry up, there are almost twenty Death Eaters here, and we don't have enough of them...... Damn, where the hell did they get so many people.
"But Dumbledore should be almost there, and we must find a way to stall for time."
Several men fled aimlessly through door to door, the Death Eaters following closely.
By the time Kyle searched for the voice and found the Prophecy Hall, all that was left was the mess on the ground.
The shelves were more than half overturned, and at a glance they were all fragments of the Prophecy Sphere.
"Aha, I knew there were still fish that slipped through the net."
A man in a black hood stepped out from behind the shelf and said in a gloomy voice, "You're also a student at Hogwarts, if you are caught, will you be able to threaten Potter to hand over the Prophecy Orb?" ”
"Good idea." Kyle said with a smile, not feeling flustered, but asked with interest:
"I think I heard Sirius and Moody's voices just now...... So you're hiding here because you're scared and don't dare to keep up? ”
"Nonsense, I'm the Dark Lord's most loyal servant, how can I be afraid of them." The man said in a sharp voice, "I just thought more than they thought, you see, didn't this catch you?" ”
"You're in luck." Kyle spread his hands.
"Okay, no more nonsense." The Death Eater pulled out his wand and walked towards Kyle.
"I'm so lucky, as long as I catch you, I can threaten Potter to hand over the prophecy ball that the Dark Lord wants, and take the greatest credit......"
Perhaps because Kyle didn't have a wand in his hand, he was even more proud, not noticing that a pair of dark blue eyes were staring at him behind him.
"You'd better stand obediently and don't move......"
"Poof!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the whole person flew out uncontrollably.
A huge spear made up of crystal ball fragments appeared out of thin air, pierced his body directly, and flew upside down with him, finally nailed to a shelf.
Even Kyle was taken aback, he didn't notice how the "spear" appeared, and the wand instantly slid from his sleeve to his hand, and in the box, an orange-yellow eye loomed.
"You should be at Hogwarts, not here."
A familiar voice came from behind him, and Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around with some surprise and saw Diana standing not far behind him.
"I've gotten word that the Death Eaters might come to the Department of Mysteries, and Lord Voldemort." Kyle said, but didn't let go of his wand, "I've brought Dumbledore here, and it should help you." ”
"Do you think I need help?" Diana shook her head.
Kyle subconsciously glanced at the Death Eaters who were pinned to the shelf.
"Hmm...... Why don't I go back now? ”
"Forget it." Diana sighed, "It's more dangerous outside the Department of Mysteries now. ”
She waved her wand again, and the crystal spear turned into a crystal figure again, dragging the howling Death Eater into the darkness, where she went.
"Didn't your father tell you?" Diana walked over and said, "The Silencers are perfectly safe in the Department of Mysteries, and even if Voldemort turns this place over, he won't be able to find us." ”
"Uh...... Never. Kyle shook his head.
Diana narrowed her eyes, and a cold light flashed.
Kyle also realized that he seemed to have cheated Chris, and quickly changed the subject with a sneer, "Mom, is it okay for you to leave the Death Eaters alone?" ”
"Why bother." Diana asked rhetorically.
"These should be important." Kyle glanced at the messy Prophecy Hall, which was about to be demolished, and there wasn't a single full prophecy ball left.
"Oh, this one, a simple spell can restore them to their original state." Diana waved her wand, and the shelves that had fallen to the ground were all back in place, and they were once again filled with prophecy orbs.
"Only those involved in prophecy can get the corresponding prophecy orb in the Department of Mysteries." Diana explained, "Other prophecy orbs cannot be destroyed, even if they are broken, they can recover, and at the same time, they can't hear the real prophecy. ”
"I see." Kyle suddenly realized, no wonder the Death Eaters began to dismantle their homes, but none of the people from the Department of Mysteries appeared, so they didn't care at all.
The two talked for a while, and Diana noticed Kyle frequently turning his head to look at the door opposite.
"Want to help?" She asked.
"Hmm." Kyle nodded, "It's all here, we have to do something." ”
"Have you thought about it?" Diana said, "There are not a few Death Eaters who have come this time, and a cat and leopard will not make much difference."
"And for some reason, I can't help you."
"Ah, it's okay, I'm not the only cat and leopard." Kyle said, opening his box.
A dark shadow flashed out, rubbing his head against Kyle's hand excitedly.
"Cyst Poison Leopard ......" Diana's eyelids jumped.
But that's not all.
Another big black guy struggled to squeeze out, and it was a big dog with three heads.
The three-headed dog Luwi, when he was attending a class on the protection of magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, Kyle deliberately turned a corner and borrowed it.
Now Deluwe is a few laps bigger than before, and one leg is almost taller than Kyle.
Diana also saw a scaly head poking out of the box, but it didn't seem to like the cramped place, and after spewing two flames out of its nose, it burrowed back in.
Dragon...... Judging from its appearance, it seems to be a Norwegian spinosaurus.
"Where did all this come from?" Diana rubbed her forehead and asked.
"I borrowed it." Kyle said, "Didn't you tell me last time to stop taking the Death Eaters myself and use it to my advantage?" That's what I've prepared.
"Oh, I still have a basilisk, but its sight is not distinguishable from that of enemies, and it is easy to accidentally injure my own people in this kind of place, so I didn't release it."
Diana rubbed her forehead harder.
She did mean that before, but she didn't make Kyle so exaggerated.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Diana had not spoken, Kyle could only take the lead in asking, "Isn't that enough?" ”
"Take the leopard back." Diana said angrily.
The basilisk is dangerous, and the ensued leopard is safe? This thing wants to destroy the entire Ministry of Magic, and it's much faster than the basilisk.
"Oh." Kyle obediently hugs the struggling leopard and shoves it back into the box.
Diana, who watched it, was terrified again.
In the end, she didn't speak at all, and just reached out and pointed to a door on the right.
"You go past here, go all the way, and you'll see them."
