Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort - Chapter 222

c222 return from time

Cassandra kicked the door open, and the three of them walked in side by side.

What came into view was a circular room with a dozen identical black doors without markings or handles.

The doors were spaced apart, as if embedded in the surrounding black walls.

“If you count the one that was kicked away just now, there are exactly twelve doors,” said Cedric.

“Okay, forget about that door!” Cassandra replied in embarrassment. The door she kicked away was still lying on the black marble floor. The faint candlelight from the candles with blue flames on the wall made the floor look like a pool of black water.

The door looked like a lone boat floating in the water.

Perhaps because of the missing door, the circular hall did not rotate this time.

“I think the treasure should be hidden in the room,” said Furong.

In fact, she didn’t need to say it. There was nothing in front of her except the door. The treasure could only be in different rooms.

“Time is running out, let’s search separately.” Cedric raised his wand and pistol and warned, “I don’t know what dangers we will encounter, it’s best to pick up the wand.”

Cassandra didn’t say anything, but she walked towards a door in a swift and decisive manner.

“Squeak–”

This time it was easy to push open.

As soon as she pushed open the door, a smell that had been sealed for many years came to her face. The damp smell and dust got into her nose, making Cassandra feel a little uncomfortable.

She didn’t walk in rashly, but took a look inside first. It was pitch black inside.

“Fluorescent flickering.”

She raised her wand, and the light at the tip of the wand lit up. At the same time, the room seemed to be lit up with sparks at the same time. Countless points of light flickered in the dark, as if it was a whole starry sky.

“Crystal ball?”

Cassandra was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew that this was the prophecy hall that Cyrus had told her about.

Wizards have very extreme attitudes towards prophecies. Some people flock to them and believe them without a doubt, while others sneer at them. This has something to do with the uneven level of the prophets in the magic world.

Most of the prophets in the world today are charlatans seeking fame and reputation. Perhaps their ancestors did have some glory, but the ability of prophecy has been almost exhausted.

Cassandra didn’t care much about the prophecy. She walked into the room, stepping on the thick dust, which stained her originally white socks. But she didn’t care much, but looked around vigilantly while walking inside.

The huge shelves were dozens of meters high, and even if you raised your head, you couldn’t see the top. There were rows of shelves like this here, countless, not to mention the number of prophecy balls.

She lit her wand and walked in. The door with a faint light was getting farther and farther away from her, like a train gradually moving away from the entrance of the tunnel.

Cassandra became more and more cautious, but unexpectedly, the Department of Mysteries seemed to have no traps at all.

But it was also thought that such an important place would be bad if something went wrong because of the setting of the checkpoints.

“Reveal.”

Cassandra cast a spell, and golden footprints began to extend from her feet, jumping into the darkness step by step. She followed the footprints and soon found Harry Potter, who was tied up in the maze-like prophecy hall and unconscious.

“Harry Potter?”

Cassandra was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled and slightly disgusted expression on her face.

It was said to be a treasure, why did a Harry Potter suddenly appear?

“Whose treasure would be Harry Potter?” The shadow of Cyrus flashed through Cassandra’s mind, and then she couldn’t help shuddering…

She shook her head vigorously and threw this terrible idea out of her mind: “Even if it was Ginny Weasley or Hermione Granger, I think it’s normal, how could it be Harry Potter!”

She admitted that Cyrus sometimes treated Harry with special favors, but that was because of the relationship between Harry and Voldemort. The two of them were indeed good friends, but they were not enough to be called treasures.

“If I give up the second project, maybe the treasure will be mine.” Cassandra thought, but she suddenly had an idea and began to be curious about her treasure.

If all the treasures were students, Cassandra really couldn’t think of anyone worth saving.

But she didn’t think much about it, it was just a game.

“Let’s wake him up first.”

Cassandra pointed her wand at Harry: “Clear as spring water.”

A stream of cold spring water was summoned by her, and the small magic wand seemed to have turned into a water pipe, emerging from the tip of the wand, pouring on Harry’s head and flowing into his clothes.

The unconscious Harry shuddered and woke up immediately.

“Cassandra?” He was surprised.

“What, don’t you want to see me?” Cassandra put away her wand coldly.

“No, I just–” Harry stretched his head and looked around, “I just thought it would be Professor Dumbledore who came to save me.”

“You are his treasure?” Cassandra asked back, “That makes sense, but do you know what my treasure and Cyrus’s treasure are?”

Harry nodded, and asked Cassandra to untie him first, then shook off the water on his body and lit a fire to keep warm: “Professor McGonagall asked all the people who were considered treasures to go to the office. Your treasure is Hermione, and Cyrus’s treasure is Ginny.”

“Hermione Granger?”

This is really a treasure to make up the number.

Cassandra thought to herself.

“So, where is she?”

“I don’t know, I passed out a long time ago.” Harry shook his head and said, after warming himself by the fire for a while, he felt much better, “I thought the professor would find me first…”

“Cyrus and that Grindelwald had a fight.” Cassandra said as she lowered her head to study the footprints, “Dumbledore sent us down first-”

“You guys?”

“And Diggory and Delacour,” Cassandra raised her head, “Let’s go, I don’t think there should be anyone else in the prophecy hall.”

The two of them walked out together, and when they left the prophecy hall, they saw Cedric carrying the unconscious Zhang Qiu out, and Harry almost suffocated.

“Hey, Harry!” Cedric greeted Harry happily, “I found my treasure!”

“Yeah…” Harry said very uncomfortably, his eyes were always on Zhang Qiu carried by Cedric, and he couldn’t move his eyes away at all.

“Where’s the veela?” Cassandra asked.

As soon as Cassandra finished speaking, Fleur came out of a room and replied in a bad tone, “Here!”

Several people looked over and immediately saw Fleur holding Hermione with one hand and Ginny with the other hand and walking out with difficulty.

“These two girls were lying together, so I brought them both out.”

“Thank you, this is my treasure.” Cassandra raised her wand, and Hermione seemed to be pulled by an invisible rope and flew towards Cassandra.

“Now both of you have found the treasure?” Fleur said in a strange tone, “In that case, what are you waiting for?”

Having found the treasure means that Cassandra and Cedric have completed the second challenge. Now they only need to open the door key to win and return to Hogwarts!

But Cedric glanced at Cassandra and saw that Cassandra was unmoved, and then he said seriously: “I won’t do that.”

“Does anyone remember that we are an alliance?” Cedric said.

Fleur looked at him in surprise.

Although the three of them formed an alliance, for Fleur, this so-called alliance was just an insurance to avoid being eliminated by Cassandra. I’m afraid only Cedric took it seriously.

“I think we can win together, what do you think?” Cedric looked at Cassandra.

He was asking for Cassandra’s opinion.

“It seems that someone wants to show some gentlemanly manners?” Cassandra habitually sarcastically said, but in fact she had no objection to Cedric’s proposal, “Forget it, after all, you helped me find the ‘treasure’, I don’t want to owe you a favor-Harry!”

“What?”

“What is the treasure of this Veela?”

“Uh, I remember it was a little girl.” Harry thought for a while and said.

“Gabrielle!” Fleur screamed. She didn’t expect that her treasure was actually her sister, and she was a little anxious.

“Let’s help find it together.” Cedric thought about it and woke up Zhang Qiu like Cassandra. Hermione and Ginny also woke up. The seven people gathered together. Ginny didn’t look very happy.

She thought she would see Cyrus as soon as she opened her eyes!

“Let’s split up and look for him.”

“Just look at me–” Cassandra used the same trick again, “Revelation.”

As if a handful of golden powder was sprinkled on the crowd, the staggered footsteps in the circular hall extended to different rooms, and Fleur immediately recognized Gabrielle’s footprints-the child was not even old enough to go to school, and the footprints looked particularly small.

“She walked towards the Hall of Time.” Cassandra said with a serious expression and frowned.

“Is there any problem?”

No one realized that there was anything wrong.

Except Hermione: “Didn’t you notice that these were her own footprints?”

The alert witch raised her eyes and looked at the others, especially pausing on Fleur’s delicate face: “We were all cast under magic, and it was impossible for us to wake up early.”

“But maybe there was an accident with the spell…” Harry tried to think positively.

“Gabrielle and I have a quarter of Veela blood, maybe her magic resistance allows her to wake up early.” Fleur also said with a gloomy face.

“This is unreasonable. What’s more, even if it’s like this, she shouldn’t walk around, right? We have all been reminded to stay where we are and wait for the rescue of the warriors.” Hermione said.

At this time, Cedric also added: “Dracul, I went to the Time Hall when I was looking for Qiu, and there was no one there.”

Harry’s heart broke when he heard Cedric affectionately call Zhang Qiu’s name. He tried not to show it, but he couldn’t help but sing a different tune with Cedric.

“Maybe you missed it, we can go and confirm it again.”

“Good idea.” Cedric said seriously.

So, the group walked towards the Time Hall again.

Zhang Qiu looked around with surprise on his face, and excitement flashed in his beautiful almond-like eyes.

“This is my first time in the Department of Mysteries.”

“I advise you to be cautious.” Cassandra saw her relaxed look and immediately reminded her coldly.

Gabrielle’s weird behavior, coupled with the fact that she was from Beauxbatons, easily reminded Cassandra of the Death Eaters’ conspiracy. I thought those guys gave up on the second game, but now it seems that they may have tampered with the “treasure”.

“Are you saying there might be danger?” Zhang Qiu was still a little afraid of Cassandra, hiding behind Cedric and shrinking his head.

“It’s best not to have any.” Kassandra said so, but the wand was already raised in the most convenient position for offense and defense. Her serious look also affected the others, and the seven young wizards moved forward vigilantly.

But there was no one in the Time Hall.

“No one is here?” Ginny almost took apart the huge grandfather clocks.

But Hermione stopped her: “Don’t touch it, there are spells hidden in these clocks.”

Of all the people present, Hermione knew the Time Turner the best.

The casing of the clock is actually a form of protection, and the magic of time exists naturally.

“Look…” Harry walked to the end of the Time Hall, where the ground was full of broken glass and glowing with light. “Cedric, when you last entered this room, was the glass here also broken?”

Cedric shook his head: “No…”

The broken glass attracted everyone. Suddenly, the broken glass was lifted up by some kind of force and gathered together again in everyone’s surprised eyes.

“Time is messing up,” Hermione cried worriedly.

This seemed to be a signal, and the stream of time suddenly spurted out, filling the corners of the entire room in an instant!

“when!”

Countless clocks start chiming at the same time!

From all directions came the continuous clicking sound of soldiers arraying…surrounding them all!

Cassandra looked around, and the pendulums of all the clocks were rapidly reversing, forming a black shadow on one side!

“careful!”

Everyone subconsciously took a step back, but everything in this room was already in chaos. As soon as Harry took a step back, his body returned to where it was. Zhang Qiu, on the other hand, did nothing and suddenly returned to the place he had just entered the room. Moment.

Cassandra felt something passing by her quickly, like an illusory shadow.

“It’s Gabrielle!” Fleur fell to the ground and yelled.

She saw Gabrielle’s shadow walking up to the glass cover, and she rushed towards the black shadow. However, in this moment, countless shadows and time rushed over, as if the whole room was in the torrent of time. A vortex is formed counterclockwise!

“boom!!!”

Golden light suddenly exploded!

A tall shadow walked out of the stream of time arrogantly.

He held the collar of the unconscious child with one hand, and his cold gaze swept over everyone present.

“Ah, Harry Potter.” He said lightly.

Harry had never seen this face before, but he recognized who this person was at a glance –

Voldemort!
