Chapter 1319 Sirius's Mission
Neville parted ways with them on the second floor and went to the other corridor to find Professor McGonagall.
After Harry helped Ron carry Filch to the fourth floor, he turned around and quickly jumped down the stairs to the exchange group's base on the third floor to find Hermione.
"Just stay in the hospital wing, Ron. Hermione and I will come to see you later!"
Harry roared, and the portraits, whose sleep was disturbed, started cursing at Harry's back!
Filch had been attacked, and there was no doubt that Malfoy had done it.
What's more, Malfoy took the wand he had hidden in Filch's office!
Everything happened just as he expected. Malfoy planned to take advantage of Professor Braine's absence to send the wand out of Hogwarts!
But what would Malfoy do?
As he ran through the corridor with arched corridors on both sides, Harry glanced hurriedly at the school gate.
Filch is the castle manager, and the keys to the castle and the school gate are under Filch's management. So it is possible that he has already obtained the keys and left the school gate in a swagger.
Thinking of this, Harry became even more anxious.
Apparition is a skill that sixth-grade wizards begin to learn. Like him, Malfoy cannot Apparite yet.
So, this means that even if he leaves the school, he can't run far unless Voldemort's minions are lurking outside the school to meet him!
Skipping a few steps, Harry turned into another corridor.
Where would Malfoy go?
This question is difficult to answer. It depends on what Voldemort tells him to do.
Hogwarts looks much more desolate late at night than during the day.
The cold and hard rocks of the spliced corridors, the torches soaked with rust, and every brick and stone of the badly worn slate castle all exude an ancient atmosphere.
Perhaps it was the damp and cold air in the middle of the night that condensed into water droplets on the lenses. Harry, who finally arrived at the corridor where the exchange group's station room was located, blinked hard and ran to the end of the corridor where torches were inserted on both sides of the walls.
strange!
Harry took off his glasses and wiped them hastily as he ran, but his vision was still blurry.
Not only did the torches on the wall appear to have double images, but even the corridor that was only halfway through began to distort!
Squeak!
There were the sounds of doors opening and voices and laughter, but Harry could no longer see clearly, his world was turned upside down.
"You are the one who has made the most progress, Luoya--"
Hermione smiled and patted Luoya's head, then opened the door between two tall spruce trees.
"I am sure that your spellcasting level is at least comparable to that of a second-year wizard at Hogwarts!"
"You don't know Hermione, Loya—"
Ginny said with a smile,
"What she meant was that you still have a lot of progress to make."
boom!
The sudden crash startled several girls who had walked out of the room one after another. The three of them looked towards the other end of the corridor at the same time, and then they couldn't help but shout in panic!
Harry vaguely heard someone calling his name, but the voice seemed as far away as through a dream.
There were some flickering lights and shadows in front of his eyes, but he couldn't see clearly either.
His glasses must have fallen off during the fall.
This thought occurred to Harry, but then some clearer images flashed in his vision, accompanied by sounds.
As if flying in a dream, his consciousness quickly left the cold and ancient castle of Hogwarts and appeared in another place.
He also appeared to be lying on the floor, as he was very short at eye level.
Looking up, what comes into view is a tall and majestic hall. The densely packed gilded magic patterns show a kind of majesty in mystery.
It is the reception hall of the Ministry of Magic.
Harry reacted, he had been here during the trial.
Then doubts arose in my mind.
Not the corridors and dark doors that had always appeared in his dreams in recent months, but the Ministry of Magic Hall?
"Are you sure Minister Bones won't be back tonight?"
Harry found himself looking away, as if avoiding the feet of the wizards and witches who kept passing him. Someone was talking, and Harry temporarily put aside the problem of perspective and looked at the person who was talking.
Looks familiar--
It took Harry a few seconds to remember that this man was Amos Diggory, Cedric Diggory's father.
It was during the Quidditch World Cup. After Professor Blaine fought with the dark witch Cliona, he, Ron and Hermione sneaked into the stadium to retrieve the lost wand and were caught red-handed.
"How many times do I have to say this, Amos--"
The second person spoke with a hint of impatience in his voice.
"The minister and Mad-Eye went to Paris for a meeting. This is the last preparatory meeting before the formal establishment of the joint force. She must go in person. In my opinion, if the situation is optimistic, she may be able to return to work next Monday!"
“Oh, that’s great!”
In the somewhat empty reception hall, there might be a few Ministry of Magic employees who were off duty, eavesdropping on this conversation.
When the eavesdroppers heard that Minister Bones would not be back on Saturday or Sunday, they all showed joy, and Amos raised his hands and cheered,
"No need to work overtime on weekends off. Oh, the first time in a few months!"
Amos said cheerfully, patting the second speaker on the shoulder and preparing to leave through the fireplace.

But after walking a few steps, Amos turned his head again and asked curiously,
"Aren't you going? Sirius has been protecting the Minister, and you must be exhausted these days, aren't you? I bet the Minister must want you to relax at Remus' wedding, so he didn't let you go with him."
Sirius!
After not seeing that face for two months, Harry's heart was so filled with joy that he forgot what it meant to see Sirius in this situation.
"Oh, is Remus' wedding known to everyone?"
Harry saw Sirius roll his eyes helplessly.
"Yes, I will definitely attend Remus' wedding, but tonight, I have an important mission."
Then, the two people who had been chatting in the hall parted ways.
Important task?
Harry couldn't help but be curious.
As he followed Sirius into the elevator hall, he was thinking about what the mission was. Only when he passed the fountain did he become distracted.
The famous pure gold Magic Brothers Fountain in the hall was dismantled at some point. Now, standing there is a city model that combines both modern and classical atmosphere.
《All proceeds from the fountain will be used to support the construction of the new magic city》
The slogan was also changed.
From his low vantage point, Harry could just make out the slogan engraved on the base of the sculpture.
After all, it's late now.
At least here at Hogwarts, it was already past ten o'clock.
But there was still a steady stream of employees leaving the Ministry of Magic, and several elevators lined up to pick up passengers from the upper floors.
Sirius waited for a long time before he boarded an elevator car that was carrying people down and quickly pressed the floor button.
The elevator was moving downwards. With the sound of the chain clicking, the elevator arrived at the station. A cold female voice sounded in the elevator car.
"Department of Mysteries."
Department of Mysteries?
This was a department he was not familiar with, and Harry wondered what mission Sirius was going to carry out.
The golden gate opened, Sirius let out a light breath, rubbed his brow tiredly, and walked out of the elevator car.
Harry was about to follow when the strange perspective moved and followed him out of the carriage.
Department of Mysteries?!
When the mysterious corridor and the black door at the end of the corridor came into view, the formless Harry took a breath and was stunned! (End of this chapter)
