The fence opened, and they walked out into the corridor, where there was no movement except the nearest torches flickering and flickering in the air stirred by the elevator.

"Everyone, be vigilant." Lockhart took out his wand. The Department of Mysteries was very small, and there was no suitable place to hide. Now even the two vigils have withdrawn, but the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors are upstairs. It made him relax a little bit.

Harry looked at the plain black door: "I dreamed of this place!"

"That's right, so here we are." Lupin also took out his wand.

"Let's go." Lockhart whispered, leading everyone down the corridor, Hermione following behind him, opening his mouth slightly, looking around.

Walking to the black door, it opened automatically, and now they entered a huge round room. It was Lockhart's first time in this place, and everything, including the ceiling and floor, was black; some identical, unmarked, and unhandled black doors were spaced apart from each other and embedded in the surrounding black walls. Some blue-flaming candles dotted the walls, and the faint, cold, flickering light of the candles was reflected on the polished marble floor, making the floor look like a puddle of black water.

"Don't close the door." Lockhart turned around and said, still worried, raised his hand and put a fluorescent spell on the door.

Just as Lockhart stared at the doors in front of him and wanted to ask Harry which one he thought he should go in, with a loud rumbling sound, the candle began to move to one side. The circular wall swivels.

Hermione grabbed Lockhart's arm as if worried that the floor would move too, but the floor didn't move. A few seconds later, the blue flames around them blurred into similar halos as the wall spun rapidly. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the rumbling disappeared and all was quiet again.

"What's this for?" Ron whispered worriedly, but Lockhart didn't know the rules here either.

"I guess it made us wonder which door we came in from." Ginny replied in a low voice.

Lockhart realized at once that she was right: it was now harder for him to identify where the exit was than for a black ant on the dark floor; any one of the twelve surrounding doors was possible It's the one they need to go through. Not from the Ministry of Magic, couldn't tell, and he now regretted not letting Arthur follow him.

"How are we going to get out?" Hermione asked anxiously.

"This issue is not important now," Lupin said lightly, raising his hand and letting out the Patronus to leave, "Let's find the prophecy ball, and then let Arthur come in and take us out."

"Don't call his name out loud!" Hermione said quickly, "How many times has the professor said it!"

"Where are we going, Harry?" Lockhart asked, not knowing where the prophecy ball was. "You must have dreamed, didn't you?"

"I'll try..." said Harry incredulously, "in those dreams, I went down the elevator, walked through a door at the end of the corridor, and came to a dark room, this is the one , and then I went through another door and into a room that was a little shiny. We should try a few doors," he said hastily. "I'll know where to go when I see that room. Come on. "

Harry walked straight to the door facing him, and Lockhart and the others had to follow. Harry put his left hand on the cool, shiny door, raised his wand, ready to rush through the moment the door opened, and he pushed.

The door opened with ease.

The chandelier hung low on golden chains and hung down from the white ceiling. After the darkness of the first room, this square room looked very bright, and Harry knew it wasn't here. The room was almost empty, with only one table, and in the center of the room there was a huge glass tank filled with dark green liquid, big enough for them to swim in it, and many white things were slowly floating in it. float away.

"What is this?" Ron whispered.

"I don't know," said Harry.

"Is it a fish?" Ginny asked softly.

"It's the brain!" Lockhart said with disgust, "I've heard people say it."

"Brain?"

"Why do they keep this kind of thing?" Hermione walked over and asked curiously.

The brains flickered in and out of the depths of the green liquid, glistening eerily like slimy cauliflower.

"That's not it, don't look at it." Lockhart urged, "Let's try another door."

"There are also many doors here." Ron said while pointing to the surrounding walls, how big is this place.

"It's too messy, let's go out and let Arthur lead the way." Lockhart was a little afraid of trouble.

They hurried back to the dark, round room; instead of the blue candlelight ~lightnovelpub.net~, the images of the terrifying brain swam before his eyes.

"Wait a minute!" Hermione screeched as Lockhart was about to close the door behind him with the brain behind him. "The mark appears!"

She drew with her wand in mid-air, and a fiery red "x" appeared on the door. As the door clicked shut behind them, a deafening rumbling sounded, and the walls began to spin rapidly again. But in the faint blue light, there was a huge, fuzzy golden-red, and when everything stood still again, the fiery x was still burning, indicating that the door they had entered.

"Good idea, Hermione," Lockhart praised, "perhaps we should each open a door and take a look, and if it's not a lot of prophecy spheres or the glittering room Harry said, come back and make a mark. , you should be able to find it in a few moments."

Several people separated, and everyone opened a door to check, "This door is locked?" The door Harry picked couldn't be opened. He knocked it, but the door still didn't move.

"You can't enter if you can't open the door!" Lockhart hurriedly stopped him. Everything in the Department of Mysteries was top secret, but the Auror Department knew some of the secrets because of its particularity. The Department of Mysteries has a door that cannot be opened. There is an "ultimate power" in it, and no one can enter. Lockhart is curious about what is inside, but he is no longer a young man, and his curiosity is not serious. "Did anyone see the ball?"

"It's so bright in this room, come here quickly!" Ginny waved cheerfully to the others over there.

"It should be that room, everyone, come here!" Lockhart shouted, his voice echoing in the empty hall, a little scary.

"It's here!"
