Chapter 312 Innate and incomprehensible magic

"Department of Mysteries?" Hermione tilted her head and looked at Andy with confusion, hoping that Andy could explain it to her.

As a little witch in her second year, Hermione really didn't know much about the various departments of the Ministry of Magic.

"The Department of Mysteries is a department within the Ministry of Magic."

Andy explained: "No one has ever known what the employees of the Department of Mysteries are doing. Their tasks are top secret and the employees who work there are called the Silent Men."

Speaking of this, Andy suddenly spread his hands, "As for more information... Unfortunately, I don't know either."

The little witch nodded with a confused look on her face.

"I do know a little bit."

Mrs. Bagshot explained: "Wizards have never stopped pursuing magic. Some wizards have discovered that there is an innate magic. Its existence form is obviously difficult to understand, and even more difficult..."

"And the job of the Silent Man is to conduct research and experiments on these mysterious powers."

Andy raised an eyebrow.

To be honest, if the silent man's job didn't require signing a confidentiality spell, this job would really suit Andy.

An innate and incomprehensible magic...?

If Andy were to talk about it, this incomprehensible magical ability is probably time, space, destiny, concepts, etc., which sounds very noble.

But according to the main tone of the "Harry Potter" world, that is, according to Dumbledore, this energy is... love!

Or maybe ‘love’ is just one of them.

As the research department of the Ministry of Magic, the Department of Mysteries obviously cannot have only one research direction. Moreover, Mrs. Bagshot also used words like ‘these’ when explaining.

Hermione asked bluntly: "Mrs. Bagshot, what is that mysterious power you are talking about?"

"That's a lot!"

Mrs. Bagshot's hoarse voice slowly sounded, "Death, time, prophecy, space... There are too many unsolved mysteries in this world, and we may not be able to pry into one ten thousandth of them even if we spend our entire lives."

Hermione glanced at Andy and teased: "Andy, it sounds like the Department of Mysteries is a good fit for you."

hehe!

Andy ignored Hermione and asked a new question, "Madam, is there a bigger secret hidden underground in the Ministry of Magic?"

"Or to put it another way, is the location of the Ministry of Magic also an ancient magical relic?"

Mrs. Bagshot looked at Andy fiercely, with a strange meaning in her cloudy eyes. She said, "I haven't seen a little wizard as keen as you in a long time."

Mrs. Bagshot's words undoubtedly confirmed Andy's suspicion.

Logically speaking, Dumbledore is the wizard standing on the ceiling of the magical world, but can he study magic in the fields of death, time, prophecy, and space?

Andy thinks it's impossible!

As for ancient wizards...

Andy couldn't speculate on their level of strength, but if they couldn't break through the shackles of 'humanity', Andy didn't think anyone could touch these powers with their human bodies.

God?

Andy raised his eyebrows and suppressed these thoughts for the time being.

Although many doubts and clues point to 'the history of the magical world has been artificially altered', these are still Andy's speculations without any evidence.

Without evidence, no amount of doubts can prove the facts.

Andy continued to ask: "Madam, are those relics... related to gods?"

Mrs. Bagshot glanced at Andy, but did not answer Andy's question directly, "It's not just you, Andy. Many wizards have chased traces of gods when they were young, even your headmaster Albus Dumbledore Lido is like that too.”

"But they all gave up in the end!"

Andy and Hermione looked at each other after hearing this.

Hermione asked incredulously: "Give up? Why give up?"

From Hermione's perspective, deciphering these hidden secrets was both interesting and meaningful.

Mrs. Bagshot asked calmly: "If one day, you see the real God, what do you want to do?"

Have you met the real God?

Andy was thoughtful and suddenly said: "Madam, I probably understand what you mean."

Hermione looked at Andy in confusion: "?"

"Hermione, if a person...if a Muggle sees the dragon described in the book, he thinks the dragon is very majestic and powerful, and even becomes obsessed with the dragon."

Andy smiled and asked: "But one day, he saw a real dragon. What do you think he will do?"

Andy did not dare to use the metaphor of 'human', but directly used the word 'Muggle'.

It's not that Andy looked down on Muggles, but Andy remembered the treatment of dragons in the wizarding world - they were kept in captivity by wizards like piglets.

Especially the half-giant Hagrid.

He was so obsessed with dragons that he even hatched a baby dragon with his own hands and tried to be its mother.

The dragon really doesn't stand out in front of the wizard.

Regarding Andy's question, Hermione almost blurted out: "He will be very scared, and he will even be eaten by the dragon."

"Okay! Andy, I see what you mean."

"Gods may be synonymous with beauty and power in myths and legends, but those are actually just human fantasies. When they encounter suffering, they long for gods to help them."

"In other words, it is a fictitious god created by human beings themselves."

"But the real gods may just be some more powerful and advanced beings than us."

Mrs. Bagshot smiled lightly and said, "Little girl, you are also very transparent."

"Thank you, Mrs. Bagshot." Hermione responded quickly.

Andy thought about it and said, "Maybe the gods are not as beautiful as we imagined? But I think I may not give up chasing the gods."

"But I don't need them to give me anything. I just want to prove that they once existed, and then study their life status and decipher the secrets of their power."

Like deciphering Voldemort's secrets.

Hermione nodded and said in a serious tone: "I don't need anything from the gods, but if it can be proven that they once existed... Andy, remember to count me in."

Andy glanced at Hermione and smiled.

Mrs. Bagshot was a little surprised. She looked at Andy and asked, "Oh? Don't you want to get eternal life, or great power?"

She thought Andy was chasing these things because he wanted to gain great power like her nephew.

"Yeah...of course I do!"

Andy didn't hide it, because everyone's goal in pursuing gods is roughly the same, which is power, immortality, or the realization of some wish that cannot be achieved by one's own strength.

"But I won't borrow the power of gods."
