, the fastest update I went to the latest chapter of Hogwarts, who was spotted by Grindelwald!

Speaking of which, this was the first time Sean came to the floor of the Department of Mysteries. However, before Barty Jr. lost his message, the other party had provided him with information about various departments of the Ministry of Magic more than once.

The Department of Mysteries is the top secret institution of the entire Ministry of Magic. There are mysterious and unpredictable things here, and even the current minister cannot know all of them.

Sean, who transformed into a middle-aged bald man this time, looked back at the elevator, flicked his robe, Dave flew out, and then turned into a thorny sheath in mid-air and hung from the ceiling.

"Notify me immediately, Dave," he ordered.

"clear."

Sean walked towards the simple corridor in front of him, and soon he saw a plain black door.

Exactly the same message as Barty Jr. gave himself...

Without hesitation, Sean pushed open the pitch-black door.

After crossing the threshold, he stood in a huge circular room. Everything here is black, whether it is the walls or the floor, just like the calm lake at the darkest moment in the depths of the forest.

There are some branch candles dotted between the walls, and the blue flames are flickering pitifully and weakly, bringing Xiao En a little bit of vision.

On the black wall, twelve identical black doors stood there quietly. They looked completely indistinguishable, without handles or marks.

Sean slowly walked to the middle of the circular room, and immediately, the black wall with the black door on it spun rapidly, and the blue candlelight turned into a blurred band of light.

This is one of the defenses of the Department of Mysteries.

When the room stopped spinning, Sean walked towards the door closest to him, he didn't try to imprint it because he knew it wouldn't work.

The black door was pushed open effortlessly, and Sean saw the scene in the first room.

This is a huge square room, almost half the size of a football field, with a stone pit in the center and steep steps descending on all sides, like a frightening lecture theater.

Sean walked to the edge of the stairs and looked down. There was no podium in the center, but a raised stone platform with an old and dilapidated arch.

There was no wall around the archway to support it, but a tattered black curtain or drapery hung on it, and although the air was cold and there was no wind, it was swaying gently, as if it had just been touched.

"Death Hall..." Sean muttered, this was not the place he was looking for.

He took one last look at the great archway, and suddenly the windless and automatic tattered curtain trembled.

A strange feeling flooded Sean's heart, as if someone was waiting for him behind the arch.

Occlumency operated automatically in an instant, resisting this indistinct but captivating temptation for him.

There are too many unexplainable weird things in the Department of Mysteries. Xiao En didn't intend to stay too long, so he turned and walked towards the exit.

"Huh?" Just as Sean was about to walk to the door, not only himself but also something on his body, a strange magic power fluctuated slightly, and then quickly disappeared without a trace.

It was as if something was attracted to the Hall of Death.

Sean checked his body carefully, and there was nothing abnormal. He poked his head into the ring, and Pudding the cat and leopard inside was counting the snowflakes in the landscape ball.

"Did you feel anything unusual just now?" Sean asked his friends.

Several magical animals all said that there was nothing wrong.

"Okay... let me know if there is something wrong, and let me know when Xue Hua finishes counting."

After giving an order, Sean closed the ring and walked out of the black door.

There must be something wrong, but there is no way to dwell on it now.

When he walked out of the black door, the circular room immediately spun quickly.

When the rotation stopped, Sean closed his eyes and felt it. Sure enough, the Shadow Worm he had just left in the Hall of Death could no longer provide contact.

"Let's just be fooled, I hope luck will be better..."

Sean pushed open the second door.

It was a cold room about the height of a cathedral, lined with towering shelves. It was covered with small dusty glass balls. On the shelf below each glass globe was a small yellowed label. Some globules glowed with mysterious streams of light, others were dim and dark, like blown out light bulbs.

Hall of Prophecy... Sean recognized the room.

He suddenly had an idea, would the prophecy about himself be stored here?

Professor Trelawney said that wizards would have a strange sense of their own prophecies, but Sean closed his eyes and felt it, but he didn't find anything that would attract him.

"Maybe it's not there..." Looking at the full shelves, Xiao En gave up the idea of ​​looking for them one by one. He stopped struggling and walked out of the prophecy hall.

And in the depths of the hall, in a small dusty corner, on a low cushioned stool, a dusty crystal ball was shining softly. However, the crystal ball was covered by a glass cover.

When Sean left, the crystal ball immediately stopped blinking.

Sean, who returned to the circular room again, pushed open the third door.

The moment the door was pushed open, he knew he was in the right place.

Thousands of ticking sounds were noisy and chaotic, and the beautiful, diamond-like shining light filled his entire field of vision. When Sean squinted his eyes and adapted to the light here, he saw all kinds of clock.

Alarm clocks, grandfather clocks, grandfather clocks, travel clocks... Countless clocks were ticking, and the continuous sound filled Sean's ears.

And emitting that beating, diamond-like brilliance is a tall bell-shaped crystal case at the end of the room.

However, Sean has no extra time to look at this magical room, there are people here.

Amidst the dazzling light and the noisy ticking sound, no one noticed that there was an extra guest in the Hall of Time.

Sean immediately cast the Disillusionment Curse, but he unexpectedly discovered that under the light of the bell-shaped crystal cover, the familiar Disillusionment Curse had no effect.

His figure is still hidden in the air, but if you squint your eyes and take a closer look, you can find that there is suddenly a place without light in the air.

Go ahead... Sean hid behind an inconspicuous grandfather clock.

Only now did he have the time to look at the two people standing in front of the bell-shaped crystal cover.

A man in a suit and leather shoes was rummaging for something, his wand was constantly waving, and the parchment was flying wildly, and beside him was a mysterious man covered in a black robe.

Through the gap, Sean narrowed his eyes slightly.

That black-robed man is floating... The Returner...

The man in the suit and leather shoes looked up, holding a stack of thick parchment in his hand.

"Sir, this should be the information you need, but it may not be complete—Although the Reticents are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, they always become silent and dull after staying in the Department of Mysteries for a long time, and it is very difficult to deal with them." trouble."

"En." The man in black responded in a low voice. Xiao En didn't see his hand stretched out, but waved it with his sleeve instead, and the thick stack of parchment flew into his arms.

The man in the suit seemed to want to be courteous. He bent over flatteringly and said, "Sir, if you're not in a hurry, I can search it for you again. There are still a lot of information about time travel accidents..."

The man in black interrupted him with a hoarse voice: "No need, the elder is waiting for my news, I just need to get the most critical information."

"Ah, that's it, okay, okay." The man in the suit rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

Then, the man in black floated towards the exit, followed by the man in suit step by step.

Xiao En, who was hiding, frowned. The other party didn't find him, but he was now facing a choice.

He can wait for the two to leave and look for the information he needs. However, the other party mentioned just now that the core information about the time travel accident was taken away by the man in black, and it is very likely that Xiao En will not be able to find him if he stays. required information.

And if you follow up, first of all, you don't know the true strength of the man in black robe, and second, people from the Ministry of Magic may **** him away, and you may face a bunch of elite wizards...

Xiao En is now very sure that the man in black must be a member of [Returners], and the elder mentioned by the other party may be the leader of [Returners].

From this point of view, apart from Dumbledore, even the returnees don't know the truth about this world disturbance. They just realized that it was related to a time travel accident, so they sent people to the Ministry of Magic to obtain information.

After a short thought, Sean made a decisive decision that he couldn't let the other party take away this information.

The magic power of the returnee has the nature of silence, which Sean discovered from Gormley Gaunt. He originally thought that the other party was some kind of special magical life, but later the "Mouth of Silence" could swallow Silence Something appeared, which made Sean sure that the returnee and Mo Ran are absolutely inseparable.

The Revenant can be vaguely classified as a half-ghost with magical powers similar to Obscurity in life, and Sean has a way of dealing with them - thanks to Voldemort for the spell, and thanks to Gormley Gunn Special has been his own guinea pig.

Sean didn't move, but sent an idea to Dave.

"If someone comes out, notify me immediately, and then make some noise, don't expose yourself, let the two people who will come out later go to the hall slowly."

"Received." Dave's intelligence is getting higher and higher now, and he can clearly understand Xiao En's meaning and execute it well.

Sean walked quickly to the front of the bell-shaped crystal cover. He scanned the folders that had been flipped around, and sure enough, he didn't see a single piece of information about the time travel accident.

"Most of them should have been taken away..." Sean quickly flipped through all the folders, and as long as he saw the one with the word "time", he would throw it into the ring first.

Whether it's useful or not, take it first.

After finishing all this, Sean walked through the gap of the table to the other side, he wanted to confirm one thing.

He quickly found what he was looking for, a huge glass cabinet that was constantly being shattered and reassembled.

Hourglasses of various shapes are placed in the cabinet, and the hourglass and the cabinet are constantly broken into fragments, and then reassembled into a complete appearance as if the picture went backwards.

What Stephanie told Sean was indeed accurate, all Time-Turners were destroyed.

There is a high probability that Grindelwald did it... Sean thought silently.

He can basically confirm now that the person who returned to the past was not Dumbledore at all, but Grindelwald.

It's just that he doesn't know the purpose of the other party's doing so, and what kind of consequences will be caused by doing so.

Is destroying all Time-Turners to prevent anyone from going back in time again...

Just as Sean was thinking, an idea came to Dave.

He stopped thinking and ran out quickly.

When Xiao En walked out of the Hall of Time, the Disillusionment Curse suddenly returned to normal, and he quickly walked out of the circular room while maintaining his invisibility.

In the crude corridor, the man in the suit and the man in black were dealing with the falling stones from the ceiling - Dave directly collapsed the ceiling here.

"An enemy is coming?!" The man in the suit shouted in panic.

The black-robed man was much calmer than him. After flicking his sleeves to knock the falling black stones aside, he said in a deep voice, "Call for backup. Let's not go out now. The elevator is too dangerous."

Xiao En secretly put the thorn sheath into his arms, and disappeared in place without a sound.

He used the trajectory flashing to return to the hall from the Department of Mysteries on the ninth floor.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded, batterers and Aurors came from here, some of them stood guard in the lobby, while others ran towards the elevator.

Sean, who appeared from the shadows, snapped his fingers at a service desk in the distance. There, a staff member who was sending and receiving messages paused for a moment, and the look in his eyes lost a moment.

He stood up from his seat and ran to the center of the hall in a panic, just like the other ordinary staff who asked about the Auror's situation because of worries, and several of these people were in the same situation as him.

And Sean flickered again, and came to the side of the corridor, where an Auror was still staring at everyone seriously, as if he hadn't noticed the sudden appearance at all.

Sean snapped his fingers, and the Auror left quickly, hiding himself in an empty office.

And Sean's face squirmed, turning into that Auror's appearance.

Although it was a temporary decision to come to the Ministry of Magic~lightnovelpub.net~, he still arranged some things in advance—such as a few small Imperius Curses.

At this moment, the elevator returned to the lobby from the ninth floor, and a group of people came out surrounded by a man in a suit, who at some point put on a big windbreaker.

Sure enough, the returnees can't make public appearances yet... Sean narrowed his eyes.

That guy should be hiding inside the man in the suit. It's very troublesome for a person with a physical body, but for a ghost, it's very simple... It's just that the man in the suit shouldn't feel good.

The moment this group of people appeared, several staff members surrounding the Auror who were asking about the situation suddenly jumped up, Qiqi took out their wands and aimed at the man in the suit.

In other corners of the hall, several people also took out their wands with blank eyes.

"Boom—" The main hall of the Ministry of Magic was suddenly enveloped by various explosions. The chandelier on the ceiling exploded and fell down. The security check counter, Magic Brothers fountain, and the Floo fireplace were all attacked by the Explosive Curse.

A group of people who had just stepped out of the elevator were instantly shrouded in the spell that hit them.
