Chapter 106 Pick up the Time Converter (Extra update for Erdou Dadios!)
Cyrus picked up a Time Converter.
This item has a spell called the Hour Reversal Spell engraved on it. In theory, as long as you learn the Hour Reversal Spell, you can go back to the past even without a Time Converter. But in reality, it is not that simple.
In addition to the spell, the sand in the hourglass is also magical, and the flowing gravel seems to have become a manifestation of time. In the future battle of the Department of Mysteries, the glass cover in front of Cyrus was broken, and the Time Converter completely disappeared from this world.
Any power involving time must be powerful and mysterious, and Cyrus naturally hopes to become the controller of time.
Of course, the limitations of the Time Converter are very huge, and it can even be said that it is a bit useless. But Cyrus is still unwilling to give up this opportunity. Sometimes just a few hours can change a lot of things.
The third door that Cyrus opened was something he had never known before.
He knew seven of the twelve doors. The Hall of Prophecy represents the future, the Hall of Time represents the past, the Hall of Brains and the Hall of Planets represent thinking and the universe, the Hall of Death represents death itself, and the locked door, according to Dumbledore, should represent "love".
And behind the door he opened now is a series of colorful pictures.
"What is this...?"
He walked in slowly and saw the strange models in the room, all kinds of magical plants, magical animals - even wizards were among them - everything was presented to Cyrus like a history book.
From ancient times to today, those magical species have been constantly evolving and extinct, but if you trace back to the source to seek the beginning of a magical mystery, there is no trace.
Now he knows what exactly exists in this hall.
It is magic itself!
This is destined to be a question without an answer. No one knows where magic comes from.
Cyrus saw some manuscripts in the room, and he speculated that they were probably left by the silent man who guarded the room.
The Silent Man is the most mysterious profession in the Ministry of Magic. In addition to keeping the secrets of the Department of Mysteries, the Silent Man also needs to study the secrets that occasionally remain in the Department of Mysteries.
Of course, over the years, many things have been assumed to be unexplainable. Nowadays, most Silent Men are responsible for the work of the Prophecy Hall, or just observe the changes of the strange head in the Brain Hall.
The manuscript found by Cyrus is also very old. The parchment is dry. He holds it in his hand, as if it is about to break into pieces. The handwriting on it is no longer obvious, but it can still be barely distinguished.
[Magic - some people also call it ether, which is a power that can change reality. But the existence of magic itself is actually unreasonable. The existence of nature has its fundamental laws, but magic seems to come from outside the rules. It breaks the original rules and forms new rules-】
[About the study of □□□-】
Cyrus saw this, and the following text was completely indistinguishable. He tried to cast a repair spell, but it didn't work.
So he put down the parchment.
It was unwise to spend too much time on this manuscript. If there was any useful information on it, the people in the Ministry of Magic would have put it away long ago. How could it be left here?
After leaving the Magic Hall, he checked the other rooms one by one. Several rooms were completely locked. If he really forced them open, it might cause a lot of noise. Besides, Cyrus didn't know what was locked in the door, so he didn't dare to open it rashly.
"The key to Vault No. 12 is not in the Department of Mysteries, so where is it?" Cyrus walked out of the black corridor and lowered his head to play with the time converter.
Although the key to Vault No. 12 is related to the secrets of ancient magic, it is just a key to Gringotts after all, and it is normal that it has nothing to do with mysterious things. In this way, Cyrus temporarily lost the scope of his search.
It was obviously unrealistic to search the Ministry of Magic. It was much larger than Cyrus had imagined, and there were traces of the Traceless Extension Charm in various places inside. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a key here.
Moreover, he didn't have time to search bit by bit now.
He could sense that the magic he had cast on the fireplace in the main hall was being destroyed. Obviously, the Aurors were on their way.
"Let's leave first."

"Now I know why Mr. Cyrus asked you to learn the Patronus Charm. He must have expected this situation."
On the Hogwarts Express, Hermione and Ron helped Harry up with concern. Lupin took out the chocolate he had just bought and gave Harry some.
Lupin, who had just driven away the Soul Eater, had not had time to get out of the joy of seeing Harry, and heard Hermione's words, and immediately asked: "Did anyone know that all this would happen in advance?"
Ron and Hermione then remembered that there was a fourth person in this carriage besides them.
"It's... one of our friends. Yes, a friend!" Ron explained quickly, "He thinks that since the Ministry of Magic sent the Soul Eater to search for Sirius Black and Tom Riddle, Harry might be in danger. Those things are not trustworthy."
Ron spoke more and more fluently: "So he suggested that Harry learn the Patronus Charm in advance, which is the spell you just cast, because only this spell can drive away the Soul Eater."
"It seems that your friend is very far-sighted." Lupin said kindly and gently, "Dumbledore doesn't like them either. By the way, Harry, if you want to learn the Patronus Charm, you can come to my office-I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Remus Lupin, and if nothing unexpected happens, I will be your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester."
"Thank you, Professor Lupin." Harry was still very weak, and he was ashamed of his performance at the moment. The Soul Eater will magnify a person's fear, but no one was directly scared to death like him.
The stagnant train started again, and when it was really night, they finally arrived at Hogwarts.
Harry was sent to the school hospital for examination, and Hermione was called to the office by Professor McGonagall alone.
"Miss Granger, I have something to tell you about your course schedule this semester." Professor McGonagall pursed her lips - this is almost her signature expression - and pulled out a schedule.
Hermione took it and took a look:
"9 o'clock in the morning, Divination, Muggle Studies, Arithmancy... three classes at the same time?"
"Yes, I think you have noticed that last semester, you were the only student who chose all the courses. And given your grades and performance, all the professors agree that you are capable of completing all the courses." McGonagall said.
Although her expression could not be seen, Hermione could hear that she was very happy.
"But how can I take three classes at the same time, professor? Percy said you will have a way to help me solve this problem, but he didn't say how to do it specifically."
"Yes, of course he won't tell you,"
Hermione saw that the corners of McGonagall's mouth rarely raised a small arc, which made her wonder if she had seen it wrong.
"In fact, the time-turner is a confidentiality regulation. It is only available to a small number of outstanding students. After you submitted your course selection list last year, I wrote many letters to the Ministry of Magic before they approved it." McGonagall happily took out a small golden hourglass.
"You can reverse time by just turning the button on it, but it can only be used for five hours at most." McGonagall said seriously, "The time-turner is a very terrible magic prop. Albus was able to catch Tom Riddle last semester because of it. I hope you can understand the seriousness of this."
"Headmaster Dumbledore used this to catch Mr. Riddle?" Hermione looked at the small thing in Professor McGonagall's hand in surprise.
McGonagall nodded heavily:
"Next, I want you to remember the rules for using the time-turner: First, never use it for anything other than studying..."
Hermione picked up the time-turner.
