Not long after, the catastrophe that happened in the area of Hogwarts Castle is not known to many people in the British wizarding world, let alone the Muggle world, which is almost isolated from the wizarding world.
Maca was walking on the streets of London, and the traffic and crowds were as hurried as ever. For Muggles, although they don't face any life-and-death choices, they still have to rush around to fill their stomachs.
Maca, who was originally a Muggle, walked in the crowd at the moment, but he was deeply moved.
For him, the monstrous catastrophe at Hogwarts and the ordinary daily life of this London street scene formed a sharp contrast in his mind one after the other.
Occasionally, he couldn't help but think that without that notice, his life would have gradually become closer to the ordinary people around him amidst the ups and downs. I still remember that he had calculated at the beginning that if he saved enough pounds, it would be the best choice to live a lifetime of laziness.
But then again, in fact, the wealth he has saved so far is enough for him to live for several lifetimes. Moreover, Greenwald is already dead, and Voldemort doesn't know when he will be resurrected again. If he just let go of his entanglement, why can't he do it with his current strength?
Maca was thinking aimlessly while walking slowly, and when he saw the men's public restroom on the street, he finally stopped his footsteps.
Yes, no matter how many choices he has in mind, there is only one he can choose right now.
After shaking his head and smiling bitterly at his own blind thoughts, he put aside those messy thoughts, raised his legs and walked into the toilet.
It was enchanted, and Muggles couldn't see it, even though the toilet stood so strangely on the median strip right in the middle of the four-lane lanes.
Maca didn't change his appearance this time, he just put on a slightly more formal black coat. This kind of clothes will not look so conspicuous in the Muggle world or in the Ministry of Magic.
To be honest, the Ministry of Magic is really not that easy to get into now, because the current situation is tense, and there are also turbulent infighting in the Ministry, and the ways to enter the Ministry of Magic have become quite limited.
Most of the Floo network lines leading to the Ministry of Magic are locked, and normal Apparition has been unable to enter the main hall. Except for the guest entrance where Mr. Weasley took Harry through at that time, there were only major official entrances.
This men's toilet is one of several in London.
Last time, if Harry hadn't been asked to bring an acromantula in, it would have been no easy task for Maca to reach the Department of Mysteries at the bottom so smoothly.
After all, although the Ministry of Magic does not reinforce the space like Hogwarts, the anti-apparition spells are still everywhere. Other than Portkeys, the only ways to get in were these fixed-point Apparation entrances and the rarer licensed Floo Network lines.
In the normal times of previous years, few people would use this almost canceled official entrance. But there are a lot of wizards who go to the Ministry of Magic to handle official business every day, but there are only a few left at the entrance, so there are quite a lot of wizards in this toilet at the moment.
It's just that Maca didn't care. He knew that as long as he didn't do any weird behaviors, it wouldn't be too difficult to sneak into the Ministry of Magic.
Hmm, maybe a Confusion Charm or two?
He picked a toilet cubicle at random, stood at the back of the queue in front of the cubicle, and waited for the number of wizards in front of the queue to gradually decrease.
In fact, it can be seen here that once you grow up, whether you are a Muggle or a wizard, you will gradually become numb in the day-to-day work. Most of these male and female wizards who lined up didn't say much, they just moved forward step by step, waiting for the moment when it was their turn.
This actually helped Maca a small favor invisibly, after all, he doesn't even have the mood to perfunctory now,
But this time he sneaked into the Ministry of Magic, but it was inconvenient to say so. The clue is the only one, and the hope is also the only one. He doesn't want to see the final goal come to naught because of his impatience.
It would be great if you could not speak.
The fixed-point apparition method is very convenient, and it didn't take long before it was Maca's turn. He stretched the collar of his coat casually, then pushed open the door of the toilet cubicle, and walked in unhurriedly.
If he had to say it, he really wanted to change to a less disgusting way of sneaking in.
Maca shook her head slightly, raised her leg and stepped on the toilet in the cubicle, and then stuffed her feet together into the toilet. Although the water in the toilet didn't even reach his ankles, his shoes and socks weren't even half wet.
After stretching out his hand and tugging on the pull rope of the flushing water, accompanied by a whirl, his whole body was pulled into the sewage pipe by a suction force.
For Maca, who has never been able to Apparate, this is one of the few ways he can safely experience the spell, even if he doesn't like it at all.
Soon, a figure suddenly stepped out of the two columns of gold-plated fireplaces in the main hall of the Ministry of Magic on the left side, and Maca had successfully entered this not unfamiliar place.
There are too many wizards coming and going here, and his appearance can't attract the attention of others at all.
After walking a few steps among the crowd, he took out a bottle of Xianyin potion and poured it into his mouth. It is obviously not a very good idea to hide your body in full view.
The time for the medicine to work is very short. Many people just blinked their eyes, and a living person disappeared beside them without any sense of disobedience.
After being invisible, Maca no longer had any scruples. As his body twisted and shrank, he quickly jumped into the air after turning into an Animagus form, and rushed straight towards the elevator.
If you follow the safest infiltration process, then naturally you only need to follow up the elevator and wait patiently. No matter the elevator went up or down, it always reached the floor he wanted to go to.
However, he doesn't have that leisure time now!
When the elevator arrived, Maca, who was hovering in the air, did not fly into the elevator with the flow of people, but waited for a while outside the isolation net at the door. When the isolation net automatically closed with a clatter and the elevator suddenly moved deep, he suddenly passed through the mesh of the isolation net and flew directly into the passageway where the elevator was operating.
The location of the Department of Mysteries is in the basement of the main hall, and he chose to fly down the elevator shaft by himself.
The speed of the magic elevator is very fast. After moving forward for a certain distance, Maca saw the elevator click and go up quickly. He knew that he had to speed up, otherwise the next elevator would definitely hit him.
Without waiting for him to think too much, in just a few seconds, he heard a faint sliding sound coming from the passage on the right. Without hesitation, he activated the swift ability obtained from the assassin, and rushed forward like a sharp blade. Just as he barely rushed into the descending passage, an elevator slid past his head with a whoosh.
Without hesitation, he continued to accelerate and fly down the vertical elevator shaft, and arrived at the bottom cross-shaped passage in a short while.
The Department of Mysteries is located on the ninth basement level of the Ministry of Magic, and there is a dungeon courtroom below, but that is not a floor that can be reached by elevator.
After flying out of the elevator passage, he finally came to this pure black rotunda again.
There is a strange and obscure magic wave hidden behind every door. Maca didn't go in to check one by one at first, but the Hall of Time is the only way to the Hall of Prophecy, and it was also the last time he came here. It's the first room you enter.
After circling around in the rotunda for a while, Macafu turned into a human again and stopped beside one of the black doors.
As he stretched out his hand and pushed the door in, a bright light immediately filled his entire field of vision.
It's still the same as when he came last time, there is not much difference. All kinds of clocks and clocks are scattered, some are placed on the long table in the middle, some are hung on the wall, and some are placed directly on the ground.
There are not many similarities between these clocks of different specifications. Even the hands on the dials are all crooked, pointing to completely different time points. But the ticking sound of their operation seems to be a seamless one, and they are all stuck at the same point.
When you are in this well-defined ticking sound, it seems that every second becomes so clear, definite, and unshakable. Even if the stars change and the sea changes, the length of each second will not change in the slightest.
Maca, who was determined to use the time-turner to save Hogwarts, became a little dazed in this environment.
After gathering his mind, he turned his head and looked to the side of the room.
There it was, a glass case against the wall. It can be seen through the glass cabinet door that there are several rows of hourglass timepieces with gold chains neatly placed inside.
Those little hourglass timepieces like necklaces are his goal this time - Time Converter. He only needs to flip the hourglass stuck on the golden ring, and he can immediately change the time he is in. With each turn, the time goes back one hour.
And on the corner of the glass cabinet door, there was a note like this:
We mark every inch of time, but never surpass the sun. Our value to you is measured by your own purpose.
Maca glanced at the note, but couldn't help but smile.
Although this line of words is so mysterious, it is actually just a reminder and warning. It reminds that the Time-Turner cannot go past the point in time you use it; and it warns that interfering with time will cause unpredictable harm.
Maca was not polite, and directly unlocked the protective spell on it, then opened the glass cabinet door and took five of them. In the end, he even used the Transfiguration technique to make five fake ones and put them back.
