Admiral of Hogwarts

Soon, Hugo and the others arrived at another elevator, then entered and pressed the button with the Arabic numeral nine written on it. The fence slammed shut.

The elevator made a loud noise again, but again no one came to check. As the lift came to a stop, the cold woman's voice said: "Department of Mysteries."

The bars opened and they stepped out into the hallway. Except for the nearest torch swaying and flickering in the air flow stirred up by the elevator, there was no movement. When walking along the corridor to the end of the road, there was only an extremely simple black door standing in front of a few people.

"The door is locked. This is because the Ministry of Magic's security system is working." After stepping forward and pulling the door open, the ship girls quickly discovered a huge problem.

Obviously, before Harry and the others were able to get in as soon as they opened the door, it was because of the manipulations of Voldemort and his men. But now that Harry entered the door, the door naturally closed and turned into a solid barrier.

"How long will it take to open it?" Because there is a complex space barrier behind this door, it is impossible to jump through space at all, so Hugo and the others' only way is to open this door.

"About ten minutes." Salem said while tapping the magic nodes with the wand in his hand. "Fortunately, this door is just a door. It does not open the security facility and connect it to the entire Ministry of Magic."

From this point, it can be roughly inferred that the closing of the door was actually closed by the automatic system, rather than someone setting up advance defense against them.

In any case, the Department of Mysteries is also considered the highest scientific research system in the entire British magical world, so it is very common to have some automatic defense systems. Fortunately, it is not too difficult to unlock such daily defenses.

So in the following time, Hugo and the others could only wait for Salem's actions while communicating with other ship girls.

"Good news, I found an opportunity to contact Professor McGonagall." Just five minutes after Salem started working, the voice of the company rang in the Admiral's network. "Three minutes ago, I informed Professor McGonagall of the current situation."

"Professor McGonagall said she would get in touch with Dumbledore as soon as possible. Considering that she knows about our failed contacts several times before, I guess she must have some kind of method with Dumbledore that we don't know about."

As the only remaining member of the Order of the Phoenix at Hogwarts, and the only remaining informant of the Order at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall always has a way to contact Dumbledore.

Less than a minute after finishing the call with the company, the double-sided mirror in Hugo's arms vibrated. When he took out the double-sided mirror, he saw Professor McGonagall's face appearing in the double-sided mirror. superior.

"Sorry, I need your help now?" As soon as the double-sided mirror was successfully connected, Professor McGonagall's anxious voice came from the other side, "Harry is going to the Ministry of Magic now, but our Order of the Phoenix can't make it in a short time. In the past, so your mutual aid club——"

"We are now at the Ministry of Magic. After receiving the information before, we have mobilized the people we can temporarily mobilize to prepare for the war here." Hugo said, turning the mirror and letting Professor McGonagall take a look at his personnel. .

"We are now at the door of the Department of Mysteries, trying to break through the door that Harry just pushed open with just a slight push. It may take five or six minutes."

"Why is Harry so impulsive? He was obviously asked to stay in school." As an old man who has experienced two wizarding wars, Professor McGonagall naturally knew what the current situation meant, and then said to Hugo with a serious face.

"It may take 20 minutes for our reinforcements to arrive, so please protect Harry as much as possible. We will always remember your kindness in this regard."

"Don't worry, Professor McGonagall. Since everyone has made the decision to form an alliance, we will naturally fulfill our duties as allies." Hugo smiled and then said.

"The door is about to open, we should take action." After saying that, Hugo closed the double-sided mirror and looked at Salem. At this time, Salem had completed the last bit of analysis and cracking work, and then opened the door in front of him.

Stalingrad walked into the room first, and then everyone filed in. Soon, they found themselves standing in a huge circular room. Everything here, including ceilings and floors, is black;

There are some identical black doors with no markings or handles evenly embedded in the surrounding walls. Some candles with blue flames were dotted on the walls, and the cold, flickering candlelight reflected on the bright marble floor, making the floor look like calm and deep water. Richelieu, who reached the end, closed the door, and the mechanism in the room was activated. With a loud rumble, the candle began to move sideways. The circular wall rotates.

For a few seconds, the walls spun rapidly and the blue flames blurred around them, forming a blue ribbon of light. Then, just as suddenly as it had begun, the rumbling stopped and everything was quiet again.

Apparently, the moving doors are part of an overall security system, designed to confuse intruders and give defenders enough time to react.

However, because Harry and the others had entered before, several doors had X marks formed by flames, allowing Hugo and the others to successfully eliminate some possibilities.

"What should we do next?" Hermione asked nervously, looking at these identical doors.

"We need to find a time laboratory filled with various clocks and hourglasses." Hugo said to his sister, "What Harry dreamed about before should be the Prophecy Room of the Ministry of Magic, and that is behind the Hall of Time. .”

"Understood." Hermione nodded seriously. After all, they had three ship girls in the Ministry of Magic acting as insiders. Therefore, it was not difficult to find out such simple information.

Although there are three doors with X-shaped signs made of flames, it is not difficult to find the door they are looking for among the other nine doors.

After all, there are some differences between ship girls and humans, so after quickly twitching his nose and sniffing, Stalingrad quickly determined the door that Harry and the others had opened before, and then walked to an unmarked door and suddenly Opened the door.

Inside this door is a very bright room. There was a constant, busy ticking all around, like thousands of tiny feet walking.

Looking around, there are various clocks hanging in the gaps between the bookshelves, or placed on tables as long as the room. The clock faces are shining brightly, and the most dazzling ones are beating as bright as diamonds. The light shines from a tall crystal bell at the end of the room.

Under the leadership of Stalingrad, everyone quickly passed through the narrow gap between the tables, walked through the bell-shaped crystal jar, and came to the only door at the back.

"Get ready to fight next." Stalingrad took out a Bobosa that came with his ship's suit and said. "I can feel that there is already a battlefield ahead."

Soon, everyone prepared their own weapons, then spread out in an attack formation, and then opened the door in front of them.
