The night was low, and the restaurant open 24h was exceptionally quiet. The waiter was dozing off in the chair behind the bar. The pointer of the clock on the gray wall had already pointed to ten o'clock.

Hermione sat on the bedside, looking out at the bright and clear night sky from the window. She estimated the time in her mind. At about noon tomorrow, the owl would deliver the letter, right? This unexpected time travel will also end tomorrow.

She lowered her head and looked at the time converter tied around her neck. The dark golden gravel had turned pale, and only a faint light appeared occasionally. Hermione remembered clearly that this phenomenon had been going on for a while.

After spending a long time in a daze, she pulled out a black notebook from under the pillow to complete today's record:

"The 72nd day of time travel, the seventh day at the current time: the closer to normal time, the closer the senses are to reality, which is much better than wandering aimlessly like a ghost at the beginning... It feels bad to be abandoned by the whole world , The time converter flashed constantly, unable to touch any objects, if it weren’t for some food prepared in the beaded bag, it would not be able to survive the initial period of time... There are two more cracks in the time converter today, the reason is unknown. ..."

Hermione stopped, stared at the text on it for a while, and put the notebook on the bedside table. She slipped out of the room quietly, and the moment the door closed, the black book flipped over and an illusory image murmured to herself, "The third item, the trophy, the door key, and the root of everything... it turned out to be You, little Crouch."

On the other side, Hermione cast a disillusionment spell on herself. She stood on the stairs on the second floor and stared at the couple in the living room. They sat on the sofa, watching TV and chatting.

"When I see Hermione tomorrow, I must ask carefully, what is her name for help? Did they all help on the court?" Mr. Granger said angrily.

"She has been very creative since she was a child, and you still praise her for being smart" Mrs. Granger said while looking at him.

"Use your cleverness to deceive your parents?" Mr. Granger exclaimed, "You don't know what he said when I was brave enough to ask a wizard about the Championship! Because the death rate was too high, it stopped. For hundreds of years. Listen to this!"

"Hermione's letter said that this year's security measures are in place... and it's the last project. Didn't I see that there is a security officer in the video?" Mrs. Granger persuaded, "Should we ask about the third project tomorrow? What is it? If it is too dangerous, discuss it with the school..." She pursed her lips, her anger couldn't stop, "This little girl is too much. When the game is over, we will educate her together!"

They talked about it for a long time, turned off the TV, and got upstairs. Hermione and them passed by on the corner. She stretched out her hand to catch only a piece of air. In the silent silence, her arm slowly dropped.

The restaurant is open 24h.

The silver light in Felix's eyes gradually diminished. After a moment of silence, he took out two glass bottles, one large and one small. The big one is filled with a thick liquid like mud, and bubbles are slowly emerging from it, while the small one contains a handful of gray hair.

This is the compound decoction and the hair of Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge. Felix smiled on his face, and the origin of his hair was dramatic. When Fudge visited the basilisk corpse two years ago, he was accidentally poisoned and was taken to the school hospital for treatment.

He took the opportunity to take a pinch.

The intentional act at that time saved him a lot of trouble.

Felix unscrewed the bottle stopper and poured the ash into the large glass bottle. The soup inside immediately boiled, and in the next second it turned into an ugly blue-gray, like a bottle of boiling cement.

"Clerk, check out." Felix shouted, and put the compound decoction into his cuff at the same time.

When he walked out of the restaurant, the time came to ten thirty.

The night in London was frighteningly silent, but there was no lack of noise. Felix walked on the street alone, his footsteps echoed under the dark, his figure flickered several times and appeared in a shabby red telephone booth. forward.

He opened the door of the phone booth and walked in, dialed the number 62442 skillfully, and the voice of an indifferent woman rang from the phone booth.

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, please state your name and your business."

"Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, let the guards confirm my identity." Felix said calmly. Under the action of the compound decoction, his body has turned into a short man with messy gray hair and a stout body. , Pot belly.

He waited for a few seconds when an obviously more angry wizard's voice appeared. His tone was unabashedly surprised: "Minister Fudge? It's really you. What's the matter with you coming here so late?"

"This is not something you can know." Felix said in a deep voice.

"Oh, of course...but why don't you use your own fireplace?"

"I was a guest at a friend's house nearby, and it suddenly occurred to me that there was an urgent matter to deal with. Do I need to make up a formality tomorrow?" His voice became severe.

"No, I'll let you in..." the voice said horribly.

The phone booth began to slowly descend, and the sidewalk outside gradually rose without the window. After a period of darkness, Felix regained his vision. He calmly observed the surroundings. The light in the main hall was much dimmer than the previous few times. There was no fire in the fireplace on the wall, and the statue in the distance was dark and lacquered, standing silently in the pool, except for the water in the fountain, there was no sound.

At this time, a rush of footsteps approached from a distance. Felix looked over the statue and looked at the wizard running over from the security checkpoint.

By coincidence, he happened to know this person.

"Eric Munch," Felix said.

"It's me, Mr. Minister." Eric Munch said with a smile, very honored.

"I'm glad you didn't sleep in the chair." Felix looked at him with scrutiny eyes.

"Why, of course I won't do my duty loyally" Eric flushed and stammered.

"Go back to your place, Mr. Munch! I will leave the fireplace when I'm done." Felix said.

"I see, Mr. Minister." Eric didn't dare to breathe.

Felix nodded at him, took a few steps, and stopped again. "By the way, is there anyone in the ministry who hasn't left now?"

"I, I'm not sure... Mr. Minister," Eric looked at him cautiously, "I guess Ms. Bones, Ms. Marcheban, and Mr. Ogden should all be there... and the weird people of the Department of Mysteries. , Uh, I mean, those silent people, I never know their whereabouts."

"It's so late" Felix said halfway, frowning and looking to the opposite side, he knew Eric would give the answer.

Sure enough, Eric's words became more respectful and humble. "Ms. Macchiban and Mr. Ogden are working overtime to process the wizard grade exam papers. They are very busy at this time of the year. As for Ms. Bones," he raised his eyelid and glanced at Felix. "You transferred away before. A group of Aurors were sent as guards for the third project, and there was not enough manpower over there."

Felix was silent for a while and snorted from his nose, "I see."

He turned and walked into the elevator, pressed the button on the ninth floor, and the fence closed with a bang. The elevator made a harsh clicking sound, Felix exhaled slowly inside, and the first step went well. When the elevator stopped, an indifferent woman's voice said: "The Department of Mysteries." Then the fence opened and Felix walked out steadily.

Passing through a dimly lit corridor, he stopped in front of a black door, and the swaying fire light shone on his face, making his expression dim and dark. From the perspective of magic power, he saw a large swath of magical brilliance, almost blinding his eyes.

Just when he was hesitant to violently break the door, the door suddenly opened from the inside. A middle-aged wizard looked at him in astonishment. For a few seconds, he said stiffly: "Mr. Minister? Why are you..." As he said, he quietly reached out and touched his pocket. The next second, he said. The confusion spell hit him.

"your name?"

"Saul Crocker," the wizard said in a daze.

"Can you please be my guide today?" Felix asked politely.

"Minister, Mr. Minister, this is illegal." The wizard suddenly covered his head with a pained expression on his face.

"Well, another question, is there anyone else in there?" Felix did not force the wizard to continue to answer, he was afraid of inspiring the confidentiality contract on the silent man.

"Bald is still inside, in the hall of prophecy." The wizard replied with a calm face on his face.

"thanks."

Immediately a red light hit the wizard, and Sol Kroc slowly fell to the ground. Felix flashed in from the door, and the black door closed behind him. Felix took out an echo bird, little The bird shook its fiery red feathers and bounced around in his hands.

"Stay here, if an outsider appears or this gentleman wakes up unexpectedly, notify me in time." Felix ordered softly.

The slapped bird nodded at him, jumped onto the wizard on the ground, and got into his clothes pocket.

At this time, Felix had time to look around. He found himself standing in a huge circular room. Everything from the floor to the wall was black. Some candles with blue flames were dotted on the wall. , Provide weak lighting.

There are no windows here, only the walls are neatly inlaid with black doors, exactly the same as the one behind him, twelve in total.

"Where is the Hall of Prophecy?" Felix muttered to himself. He wanted to solve the "Bord" in the wizard's mouth first, but he really couldn't see any difference. After hesitating for a few seconds, he pushed open a black door.

Inside the door is a deep pit that is sunken downwards. On the stone platform in the center of the pit stands an ancient arch. A pair of tattered black curtains hung on the arch, and there is no wind.

There seemed to be people behind the curtain... or someone he knew, as if he would see them when he lifted the curtain. Felix circled the arch, there was nothing behind the arch, and then he heard a whisper, the voice was very unique.

It seemed to be the voice of a childish child, Felix looked dazed, thinking of his memories in the orphanage. But he might have heard it wrong, because the owner of the voice at this time had become a woman, she whispered softly, and Felix took a step closer, trying to hear more clearly.

The voice got closer, and the murmur became clear and audible. It must be a very gentle woman. Felix thought.

"It's a pity it's fake."

The Occlumency operation spontaneously, he stared at the black curtain for a long while, and slowly exited the room. When the door was closed, a loud rumbling sound immediately sounded, and the wall began to spin quickly. He quickly drew out his wand and left an arch bridge sign on the door. When the wall stopped, he glanced at the mark he had left and walked towards the door next to it.

The second room was empty. Except for a table on the wall, there was only a huge glass water tank filled with dark green liquid in the middle of the room. Some translucent brains floated around in it, Felix looked at Leave quickly at a glance.

The third room was a dark room full of planets. Felix stood at the door and looked around, then ran to other rooms.

Then he came to an extraordinarily tall room with a ceiling almost as high as a church. Rows of towering shelves in the room were inserted straight into the ceiling. These shelves were filled with gray prophecy balls, big and small prophecy balls. It shone with a faint silver light. Felix thoughtfully, the Hall of Prophecy... So, Bode is here.

"Sol? Is that you?" a voice asked from a distance.

Felix was silent, and quietly approached "Saul?" The voice raised the volume obviously, the light of the magic wand suddenly lit up in the dimly lit room, and a man with a disheveled face and a frown came out from behind the shelf. , When he saw Felix, he was taken aback.

"Mr. Minister?"

"Sorry." A red light flashed, and Bode leaned weakly on the shelf. It took Felix a moment to transport the unconscious wizard in the hall to accompany his colleagues, while the echo bird was hidden in the shadow of the chandelier above the hall.

As he walked out of the prophecy hall, his gaze flickered, and a strange feeling of intimacy came to his heart, as if something closely related to him was hidden here... Felix closed his eyes and walked with his feelings. Go to a shelf.

He opened his eyes, and there was a shiny silver glass ball where his eyes were level. It is brighter than the prophetic spheres around it, and obviously, it is much less dusty. As he approached, the rhythm of the glass ball flickering visibly accelerated, as if to welcome his arrival.

Felix saw a date two years ago on the label, followed by a string of characters: S.P.T.toH.J.P. (to be verified). After preparing for protection, he stretched out his hand and took the prophecy ball off the shelf, but was surprised to find that there was no obstacle.

Felix glared at it, prophesying that the touch of the ball would not fit in the cold room. It was warm and bright. When holding it, it was like standing in the sun for several hours in the sun. At the same time, a hoarse voice appeared in my mind

"A change that hasn't been seen in a thousand years... the legendary drama is staged from here... The clown returns on the drums, the warriors are ready to go, the lion is old, the firebird is nirvana... Time! Time!"

Felix couldn't help holding the prophecy ball and listened again.

"Joker, warrior, lion, firebird... what do they all mean?" He didn't spend much time thinking about it. Time is pressing. It has been almost twenty minutes since he appeared in the Ministry of Magic and he strode away from here. , Outline a circle on the black door.

Felix went straight to the next room and opened the door. The moment he realized that he had finally found the right place. Amidst the noisy ticking of hundreds of sounds, in the beautiful, like sunlight. In the dazzling jumping light like diamonds, he saw all kinds of clocks, alarm clocks, clocks, travel clocks, grandfather clocks, and ancient things like sundials... They were either hung on the wall or placed On the ground, or on long tables and bookshelves.

On a closet with a glass front door, the wall where the closet is located is covered with all kinds of hourglasses.

Felix, who has always been calm, has an excited expression on his face. These are the hourglasses used on the time converter, as well as his eyes on the folders on the bookshelf, the drawers under the long table, and they fall at the end of the room. On the towering bell-shaped crystal glass cover.

Unlike other rooms, the crystal glass cover is the only light source in this room. The diamond-like jumping light that Felix saw before comes from it. The glass cover is filled with a churning, sparkling air current.

That is time energy.

"Time...time..." Felix said softly, he somewhat understood why the prophecy was so attractive to him, "because I am also part of the prophecy." He closed his eyes, "Then who am I? It’s impossible for a lion and a firebird. Are the remaining clowns? Or soldiers? Or they all exist because of me?" He opened his eyes suddenly, and his light blue pupils turned into deep silver flames, burning. Fill the entire eye socket.

The pitch-black floor was covered with silver light, and everything resembled the reappearance of the earlier scenes. Felix pulled the thinking cabin out of his mind, only this time he tried his best. A series of phantoms came out of Felix’s body. They were part of Felix’s thoughts and the pinnacle creations of memory magic. These "people" were scattered separately, digging out pieces of information from the shelves and drawers. Sit or stand, study carefully.

Felix stared at the bell-shaped crystal glass cover. Soon, the first phantom put the folder back on the shelf and walked over to merge with him. Felix's body suddenly froze, and after two minutes, he finally digested the knowledge.

But then, the second and third phantoms returned. This time Felix froze for a full five minutes, during which time he was like a stone clay sculpture. Felix sighed and resignedly took out the Ravenclaw's crown, which he had not used for a long time, from the ring, and said to himself, "Should I say, fortunately Valen left this for me?" He put on the crown. A hint of cooling sensation spread all over the body.

More phantoms came over...

In the early morning, Felix was holding a floating hourglass in his hand, and the crystal glass cover in front of him was opened, and the wisps of air flow into the hourglass. This is the harvest he worked hard all night, only dabbled in the fur of the time domain. , But this trivial step is enough for him to crack the secret of how to replenish the hourglass energy.

He also rummaged through the Ministry of Magic's trial records on time travel in more detail than the information collected by Nick Le May, and many of them were even personal descriptions of time travellers themselves. For example, returning to the experience of Heloise Mintab five centuries ago is very meaningful. Her self-report occupies twelve pieces of parchment, and the analysis and speculation surrounding these twelve pieces of parchment are filled with There are thirty drawers.

...

When Felix stopped, the hourglass floating in the air fell on his hand, and the white sand in the hourglass was smeared with a layer of golden substance.

"One hourglass may not have enough energy, and two hourglasses are also problematic. I should make more preparations." He turned his head, staring at the hourglasses of various shapes hanging in the closet, and whispered, "It's just a temporary borrowing."

He waved his hand, the glass front door of the closet opened, and the hourglasses flew towards Felix... I don’t know how long it took, there were hundreds of hourglasses floating askew around Felix, at the cost of the closet being empty, crystal. The glass cover is dim.

His magic power is also low.

At this time, Felix suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixed in one direction, and the echo bird he left was triggered!

He gathered up all the hourglasses and touched his face. The effect of the compound decoction had long since disappeared. He put on a cloak, put on a hood, and walked out of the time hall.

In the circular room, a silent man was leaning over to look at the wreckage on the ground. Everything happened too suddenly. As soon as he pushed the door in, a fireball fell from the sky. He was taken aback, thinking he had been attacked, and when he recovered, he found an intricate structure in the flame.

Is it an alchemy item? Who brought it? He was wondering, suddenly feeling the whole person groggy, the last picture in his mind was the abrupt disappearance of the burning remains, and a pair of feet passing by without stopping.

Felix used the human body deformation to make himself look a lot shorter and his face turned ginger. He took the elevator to the Ministry of Magic hall, and he was quietly relieved.

You can apparate!

However, his state at the moment is extremely bad, and if he becomes separated, the joke will be a big deal. He walked towards the fireplace area step by step, glancing at the time halfway, it was not too late.

"Sir! Sir!"

The voice of the guard appeared behind him, trying to stop Felix. His weird dress has already aroused suspicion, but there is no way, he must wear a hood, who makes him wear the Ravenclaw crown on his head, if it is taken off, he will definitely faint immediately.

Felix speeded up silently.

"Mister! Mister" the guard yelled twice again, seeing Felix getting closer and closer to the fireplace in order to meet the needs of the Ministry of Magic staff to go to work, there was already a fire in the fireplace.

The guard blew his whistle urgently.

With the sound of footsteps approaching, a dozen guards quickly ran towards Felix, took out their wands and pointed at him.

"The guest with the hidden head, no matter who you are, you will be caught immediately!" A person yelled, Felix's response was a dazzling red light, and the caller flew far away.

"Attack!" The other guards didn't keep their hands, and all kinds of dazzling lights attacked him.

Felix casts a humanoid iron armor curse on himself, rouses his spirits to fly one after another. He panted slightly, suppressing the physical and mental discomfort, his wand waved out the afterimage, and the three guards fell down instantly. In two seconds, two more guards fell.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the road in front of Felix was free, and he left without stopping.

There is another footstep

"Mr. Scrimgeour! Great, we found a mob trespassing at the Ministry of Magic!" The guards were overjoyed, and there were seven or eight Aurors behind Scrimgeour. His face was gloomy, like an angry lion.

"Battle level, the highest! Two people, free to attack!" Scrimgeour shook his head and shouted loudly. He tossed the crutches aside and fired the spell swiftly.

Felix kicked off the difficult spell, stepped back to avoid the two coma spells. The magic power in his body is almost exhausted, and careful calculation is required. At this time, a fiery ball of fire flew towards him, speeding to the extreme, Felix's eyes widened, and instantly released the iron armor curse. The fireball exploded on the iron armor curse and sent out. There was a loud noise.

Felix staggered and walked a few steps to the side, almost falling down, an uncontrollable anger surged from his heart, attacking me with the magic I taught?

"He's injured!" Scrimgeour pointed to the shattered iron armor curse, and the magical barrier was stained with blood red. "Use Mowen magic! Listen to my command and release them together!"

The Aurors were scattered around in twos and threes. After hearing the order, they sketched the flame magic text with one hand and released the flame curse with the other. Seven or eight head-sized orange-red fireballs were rapidly taking shape.

"preparation"

Felix was extremely angry~www.novelhall.com~ Get out! "

He shook his wand violently, and his body had undergone a wonderful change at this moment. The magic text patterns climbed onto his face and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The fireballs in the Aurors' hands exploded uncontrollably, forming a huge shock wave, throwing them far away.

At the same time, the hundreds of feet high, magnificent magical hall made a "buzzing" noise, like a kind of resonance, in the shocked eyes of everyone, the large glass curtain wall smashed to the ground.

The Auror, the guards, and the Ministry of Magic staff at work were silent.

The Aurors looked at each other, they looked at Scrimgeour and waited for him to decide. The skin on Scrimgeour's face trembled violently. He raised a hand, but he couldn't make up his mind. This person has never been a killer, but if he pushes him in a hurry...

finally

Felix stood in the fireplace, the turquoise flames licking his body, he looked at Scrimgeour with a strange **** face, leaned slightly to express his apology, and disappeared in the next second.
