Chapter 684: Battle of the Department of Mysteries

Kyle couldn't describe his current mood. He had just fallen asleep for less than ten minutes when he was woken up by someone.

"Fred, George, you better give me a reasonable explanation." Kyle sat up from the bed, rubbed his face, and tried to wake himself up.

It was amazing that he could see Fred and George in the dormitory.

As for Mikel and Ryan, their beds were empty. They should still be playing wizard chess in the common room. Kyle remembered that they said they would play all night today.

"I know you are about to graduate and you are reluctant to leave everything in Hogwarts. You want to save time for sleeping and take a look, but I will come again next year...

Kyle couldn't help but say: "And this is the Hufflepuff dormitory, how did you get in?"

"Of course Cedric took us in." Fred said with a smile.

"Don't worry about it." George said, "You have been to the principal's office before, right?"

Kyle nodded, "I have been there, what's wrong?"

"So, is there any activity of the Order of the Phoenix recently? "Fred asked in a low voice.

"I haven't heard of it." Kyle thought for a moment, "Why are you asking this?"

"That's strange." George said puzzledly: "Since there are no activities, why did Harry and the others leave school?"

"Leave school? What do you mean?"

"They just flew away out of thin air." Fred explained: "Just now we were discussing the opening of Weasley's Joke Shop, and when we looked up, we 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 should be the Thestral."

"What? "Kyle woke up instantly.

He didn't expect that Dumbledore had said it so clearly, but Harry actually believed his dream...

There's no need to think about it, his purpose must be to go to the Ministry of Magic, after all, Kyle heard him mention this place when he was outside the headmaster's office before.

And this is simply a trap. If Harry goes there, it means that the Death Eaters will also go...or they have already arrived and are waiting for Harry.

"Damn, when did this happen!"

"It should be two hours ago." Fred thought for a while and said, "We were just arguing about the activities to be carried out for the opening, and then when we came here for a night tour, we suddenly remembered this...Wait, Kyle, where are you going?"

Under the puzzled eyes of the Weasley brothers, Kyle jumped up from the bed and rushed out of the common room.

When he arrived on the eighth floor, he happened to meet Dumbledore standing at the door of the Gryffindor common room.

"Professor..." Kyle ran over quickly and repeated the news he had just heard.

"I already know. "Dumbledore looked a little grim.

"Just now, I received the news that Sirius was safe and sound, and I was going to tell Harry about it, but I seemed to be a step too late.

"I guess they must have left when I destroyed the Horcrux..."

"What should we do now?" Kyle asked, "Go to the Ministry of Magic too?"

"I'll go." Dumbledore said, "It's safest for you to stay in school."

"No." Kyle shook his head and insisted, "They are going to the Department of Mysteries, where my mother is."

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment. He wanted to tell Kyle that he didn't need to worry about Diana's safety, but he couldn't say it when it came to his lips.

Because if he were Kyle, he would definitely not be able to rest assured just by listening to a few words from others.

"No problem, Professor." Kyle said quickly: "As long as the opponent is not Voldemort, those Death Eaters are no match for me."

"Death Eaters are not as weak as you think, Kyle." Dumbledore said seriously: "They were once the best wizards, and they have experienced cruel wars in person."

Kyle did not speak, but took out his box.

"Uh... okay."

In just a moment, Dumbledore was convinced.

"Grab my hand." Dumbledore said.

Kyle immediately grabbed his arm.

Then, Fawkes flew over from not far away and grabbed Dumbledore's shoulder.

After a familiar dizzy spin, the corridor with portraits disappeared, replaced by a dark and deep passage.

"Are we at the Ministry of Magic?" Kyle asked, resisting the churning feeling in his stomach, and 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 think we are not 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 taken out his wand and looked at the other side of the passage indifferently.

"You are here, Tom!"

As Dumbledore's voice fell, a tall and thin man wearing a black hood appeared at the end of the passage.

"Ah, Dumbledore..." Voldemort's snake-like red eyes looked extremely strange in the dark environment.

Kyle felt a chill all over his body, but there was no time for him to think more now.

Dumbledore and Voldemort raised their wands almost at the same time, and two dazzling lights, one red and one green, exploded in the narrow passage.

Taking advantage of this time, Kyle pushed open the black door as quickly as possible and hid in.

The moment the door was closed again, the explosion outside suddenly stopped, as if nothing happened.

Kyle took a few breaths before continuing to walk inside.

It's enough to have Dumbledore outside, and he can't help much. The most important thing now is to deal with the Death Eaters in the Department of Mysteries.

Different from the silence when he came last time, even when he first came in, Kyle could faintly hear a burst of exclamations and explosions.

At the same time, in a room not far away that looked like a library and was filled with prophecy balls, Harry was confronting a woman with disheveled hair.

"Where is Sirius?" He roared and asked, holding a wand in one hand and a crystal prophecy ball in the other: "You have him, I know it, right here!"

"Hoho, the baby woke up and was so frightened, thinking that everything in the dream was real." Bellatrix said in a high voice, but her voice was so ugly, like using a saw on the glass. Same.

"Oh Bellatrix, you don't know Potter as well as I do." At this time, another Death Eater came over, "He has a big weakness, personal heroism, and the Dark Lord knows this about him!"

"I know Sirius is here!" Harry said nervously, "I saw you caught him!"

The Death Eaters laughed loudly.

"You should distinguish between dreams and reality, Potter." Malfoy said, "Okay, give me the prophecy ball quickly, maybe we can let you meet Sirius!"

Harry didn't move.

From the performance of the Death Eaters just now, he could gradually confirm that Sirius really didn't seem to be here. Dumbledore was right, this was a scam.

Harry only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and his stomach seemed to shrink into a ball. He believed in the dream and brought Ron and Hermione here to die because of something that did not exist...

"Harry..." Hermione patted his shoulder and shook her head slightly.

"Ah, what a unity." Bellatrix said crazily: "Look at their serious faces, they seem to be planning to fight us.

"How touching. If you are willing to hand over the prophecy ball, maybe I can consider letting you die together..."

"Shut up!" Harry shouted.

Bellatrix laughed wildly.

"Did you hear it? Did you hear it? He was giving me orders..."

But the next second, the wild smile on her face disappeared instantly.

"Who gave you the courage to give me orders?"

"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"

Harry didn't react at all and stood there blankly. Fortunately, Hermione reacted quickly and pushed him in time, allowing him to escape the Cruciatus Curse.

"Are you crazy?" Malfoy yelled, "What if you break it..."

"No one can order me except the Dark Lord. Anyone who does this must die!" Bellatrix's chest heaved rapidly, but fortunately, after being reminded like this, she finally remembered that there was still something serious to do. Do.

"Seize the two people around him, I don't believe he can remain indifferent to the torture of his companions!"

…

"Don't even think about it!" Sirius jumped out of nowhere, pointing his wand directly at Bellatrix.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

Bellatrix flew backwards and hit a shelf full of prophecy balls.

Suddenly it started to "rain" in the room. More than a hundred prophecy balls fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Milky white figures emerged one after another, as well as voices that sounded like whispers.

But because there were too many voices at the same time, no one could hear what was being said.

"Run!"

Two more people broke in, Moody stood in front of the Death Eaters, and Mr. Weasley took Harry and the three of them and ran towards the nearest door.

"Mr. Weasley, why are you here..." Harry said in surprise.

"We received the message from Dumbledore and rushed over immediately..." Mr. Weasley said quickly, "You shouldn't have come."

"Arthur is right." Sirius caught up 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, The last thing I want is to see you come to rescue me...and the last thing you should do is bring Hermione and Ron with you."

"I'm sorry..." Harry lowered his head in shame.

"We insisted on it." Ron said quickly: "Harry didn't agree, so we followed him secretly..."

"Stupid!" Moody also came. He glanced at Sirius, "What have you taught them before? Dumbledore should let me teach the lower grades."

Sirius said nothing.

"Okay, stop talking so much." Mr. Weasley smoothed things over: "Run quickly, there are almost twenty Death Eaters here, and there are not enough people like us... Damn it, where did they come from with so many people? .

"But Dumbledore should be arriving soon. We must find a way to delay it."

Several people passed through the doors and fled aimlessly, with the Death Eaters following closely behind.

When Kyle found the Prophecy Hall after searching for the sound, there was only a mess on the ground.

Most of the shelf collapsed, and at first glance, it was all fragments of the prophecy ball.

"Aha, I knew there were still fish that slipped through the net."

A man wearing a black hood came out from behind the shelf and said in a sinister voice: "You are also a student of Hogwarts, right? As long as I catch you, can I threaten Potter to hand over the prophecy?" The ball is gone.”

"It's a good idea." Kyle said with a smile. Instead of feeling panicked, he asked with great interest:

"I thought I heard the voices of Sirius and Moody just now... So are you hiding here because you are afraid and don't dare to follow them?"

"Nonsense, I am the most loyal servant of the Dark Lord, how can I be afraid of them." The man said in a sharp voice: "I just think more than they think. Look, doesn't this catch you?"

"Then you are really lucky." Kyle spread his hands.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." The Death Eater took out his wand and walked towards Kyle step by step.

"How lucky you are. As long as I catch you, I can threaten Potter to hand over the prophecy ball that the Dark Lord wants, and get the greatest credit..."

Perhaps because Kyle didn't have a wand in his hand, he was even more proud and didn't notice a pair of blue eyes staring at him from behind.

"You'd better stand still and don't move..."

"puff!"

Before he could finish speaking, his whole body flew out uncontrollably.

A huge spear made of crystal ball fragments appeared out of thin air, pierced his body directly, took him flying backwards, and was finally nailed to a shelf.

Even Kyle was startled. He didn't realize how this "spear" appeared at all. The wand instantly slipped from his sleeve to his hand. In the box, an orange eye loomed.

"You should be at Hogwarts right now, not here."

A familiar voice came from behind, and Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around with some surprise and saw Diana standing not far behind him.

"I got news that Death Eaters may come to the Department of Mysteries, as well as Voldemort." Kyle said, but did not release his wand, "I brought Dumbledore, I should be able to help you."

"Do you think I need help?" Diana shook her head.

Kyle subconsciously glanced at the Death Eater nailed to the shelf.

"Well... how about 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 small crystal man again, dragging the howling Death Eater into the darkness, to who knows where.

"Didn't your father tell you?" Diana came over and said, "The Silent People are absolutely safe in the Department of Mysteries. Even if Voldemort turns this place upside down, he won't be able to find us."

"Uh... never." Kyle shook his head.

Diana narrowed her eyes, and a cold light flashed away.

Kyle also realized that he seemed to have tricked Chris once, and quickly changed the subject with a smile, "Mom, are you okay with leaving the Death Eaters alone?"

"Why do you care?" Diana asked.

"These should be very important." Kyle glanced at the messy prophecy hall. It was almost demolished and not a single complete prophecy ball was left.

"Oh, this, just a simple magic can restore them to their original state." Diana waved her magic wand, and all the shelves that had fallen on the ground returned to their original positions, and they were once again filled with prophecy balls.

"Only those involved in prophecies can get the corresponding prophecy balls in the Department of Mysteries." Diana explained: "In addition, other prophecy balls cannot be destroyed and can be restored even if they are broken. At the same time, they Nor can the true content of the prophecy be heard.”

"So that's it." Kyle suddenly realized. No wonder the Death Eaters started to tear down their homes, but no one from the Department of Mysteries showed up. It turned out that they didn't care at all.

The two talked for a while, and Diana noticed that Kyle frequently turned his head to look at the door opposite.

"Want to help?" she asked.

"Yeah." Kyle nodded, "We're here now, so we have to do something."

"Have you thought about it?" Diana said, "There are not many Death Eaters coming this time, and a cat and leopard won't have much effect.

"Besides, for some reason, I can't help you."

"Ah, it doesn't matter, I don't only have cats and leopards." Kyle said, opening his box.

A dark shadow flashed out, rubbing its head against Kyle's hand excitedly.

"Poison Leopard..." Diana's eyelids twitched.

But this is not over yet,

Another big black guy squeezed out with difficulty. It was a big dog with three heads.

The three-headed dog Luwei was borrowed by Kyle when he took a Care of Magical Creatures class in the Forbidden Forest.

Now Luwei is several times 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 this narrow place. It snorted two wisps of fire from its nose and then went back in.

The fire dragon... Judging from its appearance, it seems to be the Norwegian Spinosaurus.

"Where did all this come from?" Diana asked, rubbing her forehead.

"I borrowed it." Kyle said, "Didn't you tell me last time not to attack the Death Eaters personally and to use my own advantages as much as possible? So I prepared these.

"Oh, I still have a basilisk, but its sight cannot distinguish between friend and foe. It is easy to hurt our own people in such a place, so I didn't release it."

Diana rubbed her forehead harder.

She did have this idea before, but she didn't let Kyle do it so exaggeratedly.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Diana didn't speak, Kyle could only ask first: "Aren't these enough?"

"Take the Nangdu Panther back." Diana said unhappily.

The basilisk is dangerous, but the Nangdu Panther is safe? This thing wants to destroy the entire Ministry of Magic, and its efficiency is much faster than that of the basilisk.

"Oh." Kyle obediently hugged the struggling Nangdu Panther and stuffed it back into the box.

Diana was frightened again.

In the end, she simply stopped talking and pointed to a door on the right.

"You go through here and keep going forward, and you can see them."
