Auror office.
As the military force of the Ministry of Magic, Aurors are responsible for protecting the Ministry of Magic and maintaining law and order in the magical world.
It's just that before Sirius escaped from prison, well... before Azkaban was attacked, Aurors didn't actually need to work overtime very often.
Because there are not that many criminals to catch in the magic world, and no one dares to come to the Ministry of Magic to cause trouble.
But it is different now.
Until now, no clues have been found about the Death Eater who attacked Azkaban. Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban again - they are both brutal and cunning Death Eaters.
Scrimgeour has now combined the two cases into one.
He believed that the Death Eater had given Sirius a little help when he attacked Azkaban.
For example, a magic wand!
Today, working overtime has become the norm for Aurors.
They not only have to guard the safety of the Ministry of Magic, but also investigate the Death Eaters who attacked Azkaban, and at the same time investigate the whereabouts of Sirius.
Every day is very busy.
At half past seven, except for the Aurors who were out tracking Sirius's whereabouts, all the Aurors responsible for guarding the Ministry of Magic had arrived at the Auror office.
There were only six people in total.
"Ok?"
Scrimgeour looked around and asked in a sharp tone: "Where's John?"
John Deluxe is the name of the man Andy transformed into.
Everyone in the office looked at each other. None of them had seen Delis tonight.
"I've seen him!"
Tonks said: "He went to the Department of Mysteries, saying he was visiting a friend."
Scrimgeour frowned slightly, "What time?"
"perhaps……"
Tonks' expression changed slightly, "Six...a little after six o'clock."
An Auror in his thirties said: "I remember, John doesn't seem to know anyone from the Department of Mysteries, right? He has no friends working there."
Tonks looked at Scrimgeour carefully. She seemed to have made a big mistake.
Scrimgeour glanced at his watch and said coldly: "After six o'clock? It's been an hour now. Even if he's visiting friends, he should have been back long ago."
A blond Auror said: "John has always been a very punctual man."
So people’s faces don’t look very good.
They realize that the Ministry of Magic may have been hacked, right under their noses.
"Everyone, follow me to the Department of Mysteries immediately!"
Scrimgeour made an immediate decision, "Tonks, go to the Department of Magical Transport and ask them to close all the exits and fireplaces in the Ministry of Magic!"
Tonks said with a look of reluctance: "It was my mistake this time. I didn't find out that Delis was a fake. I must catch him with my own hands."
"Execute the order!" Scrimgeour said sternly.
Tonks gritted her teeth, "Yes!"
Chapter 379 Windless automatic curtains and floating clouds in the air
live rock
Ministry of Magic, Department of Mysteries, Hall of the Dead.
Andy walked along the rotating stone steps to the bottom of the stone pit. Looking at the towering arch in front of him and the curtains hanging on the arch, Andy felt that the whispering voice seemed to be a little clearer again.
Andy listened patiently, but still couldn't hear clearly what those voices were saying - it didn't seem to be human language.
"The voice of the undead?"
"What's behind the curtain?"
"Is it the underworld where the dead live?"
Andy wanted to lift the curtain and see what secrets were hidden behind it. It's just that all the cells in Andy's body, including Andy's soul... they are preventing Andy from doing this.
"Dead...souls...ghosts!"
Andy has been studying ghosts for some time;
Wizards can leave their mark on the world and walk ethereally in the places they walked during their lives, but only a few wizards will choose this path.
Ghosts know nothing of the mysteries of death; they only plausibly imitate life.
This is the description of the ghost in the book.
As you can imagine, being a ghost doesn't feel very good. It's just that as a living person, Andy has a hard time understanding what it feels like to be a ghost.
And ghosts are not equal to souls.
"Maybe behind the curtain is a one-way road leading to the underworld, where the souls of the dead live. Anyone who enters will never be able to return to the world."
Andy looked at the Resurrection Stone in his hand.
"If there is no curtain, can the resurrection stone summon the souls of the underworld to the world?"
"If this guess is true..."
Then as long as the soul of the dead is recalled to the world, you can use magic to create a new body for it.
"Is this the true use of the Resurrection Stone?"
Andy had a lot of ideas but wasn't going to try them all.
There is a big difference between magic experiments and seeking death.
In front of the power of 'death', Andy is as small as dust. Just like people in the two-dimensional world can never understand the structure of the three-dimensional world.
In fact, Andy felt that his next behavior was a bit suicidal. If it weren't for the premonition, and if it wasn't for the third-level [Divination] talent that gave Andy a certain degree of confidence, Andy would never have planned to do such a thing. try.
"call--"
Walking to the arch, Andy let out a breath.
"Let me see it!"
Andy raised his left hand with a solemn expression. The Resurrection Stone lay quietly on the palm of Andy's left hand, emitting an invisible glimmer.
"..."
Andy put down his left hand, and the Resurrection Stone was held in the air by an inexplicable force. In the dark stone chamber, the light on the black stone became brighter and brighter.
Weird!
The stone chamber was very dark, with almost no light; the Resurrection Stone was black, and the light on it seemed to be black as well.
But in the darkness, Andy could clearly see the shimmering light emitting from the Resurrection Stone.
Without a trace of wind, the curtain began to swing violently, as if there was an unknown force spilling out from behind the curtain. This force was pulled by the Resurrection Stone and also absorbed by the Resurrection Stone.
"Is this the power of Death?"
Andy wasn't sure.
In fact, everything Andy knew up to this point was just speculation. The so-called evidence is just those ambiguous clues and some far-fetched legendary records.
But it’s different now!
The scene in front of me is enough to prove that the Resurrection Stone is indeed related to the secret behind the curtain.
The Grim Reaper, the Deathly Hallows, and the arches and curtains in the Hall of the Death... there is a connection between them.
The speculation about ‘killing gods’ may also be true.
Someone has taken away Death's power!
"What about the other gods?"
As a human being, Andy asked himself that he knew a lot about human beings.
Every country in the world has its own culture of belief in gods, but if one day gods really appear in the world, what will people do?
fear? Fear? excited? Excited?
If the gods were really powerful, that would actually be okay.
But if the human attack is enough to break the gods' defense, Andy believes that the only result for the gods is to be placed on the experimental table.
In ancient times, people believed in gods and worshiped gods.
But some powerful wizards may not covet the power of gods.
Rumor has it that the Trelawney family's prophecy comes from the curse of the Sun God - but what if it is not a curse, but the Trelawny family has stolen the power of the gods?
The gods in legend always possess extremely powerful power.
But are gods really that powerful?
Don't they have any weaknesses?
Human beings who stand at the top of the earth's food chain, who have invented nuclear weapons, may be bitten to death by a small poisonous insect.
Just like that sentence.
As long as the defense can be broken, there is no BOSS that cannot be killed!
Looking at all this, many thoughts flashed through Andy's mind.
The scene before him was not shocking. There were neither powerful energy fluctuations nor a terrifying momentum as vast as the abyss. Some... are just an unattractive stone floating in the air, and a black curtain swinging in the wind.
However, this ordinary scene proved to Andy a terrible history.
Death's power has been stolen by a wizard!
The Deathly Hallows...is really about Death!
According to legend, anyone who obtains three Deathly Hallows can become the master of Death.
If this legend is true...
Just imagine, would the God of Death hand over such an important thing to a human being?
"The power of death!"
Andy looked at the Resurrection Stone floating in the air quietly.
"Will there be any new changes in the Resurrection Stone that has absorbed the power of death?" Andy was a little hopeful, but also a little scared.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Andy waited patiently while taking out the polyjuice potion and took a sip.
Although he couldn't impersonate Sirius, his identity as John Deluxe still allowed Andy to hide his identity.
After all...who would doubt that a thirteen-year-old wizard would have the audacity to sneak into the Ministry of Magic?
"Hmm...a little cold?"
After standing here for a long time, Andy suddenly felt a chill that penetrated into his bones.
The cold air came very suddenly. In just ten seconds, Andy felt that his body was a little stiff from the cold.
"hiss--"
Andy let out a breath of white air.
The temperature had indeed dropped, and the walls around the stone chamber seemed to be covered with a light layer of white frost.
"It's coming from behind the curtain!"
Andy took a few steps back, holding the wand tightly in his hand. He didn't know if he should leave temporarily.
After hesitating for a moment, Andy turned around in place with his wand and used the fire spell to draw a circle of fire to surround himself, trying to use the temperature of the flames to dispel the chill.
