MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 470 468. Party!
Chapter 470 468. Party!
It was the same day that Jon first joined the Department of Mysteries.
The first war of the Wuping Line in England broke out. The village of Hogsmeade next to Hogwarts Castle was occupied by the Wuping Line. All captives were killed, and no one was spared.
This is also Wu Pingxian's first victory after declaring war on the British Ministry of Magic, but of course the Daily Prophet did not report this matter, and this news was not even published on the second day's page, but even if the newspaper did not mention it, The wizards did not lack the circulation of news. After the occupation of Hogsmeade, the wizards of the Wuping Line did not restrict the original residents of the wizarding village.
So, even if this matter has not been reported, almost half of the entire British magic community knows about it.
Even if the Ministry of Magic tried its best to minimize the impact of the situation, it would not help at all.
In this gap, since the end of the Triwizard Tournament, Cornelius Fudge stepped down from the position of Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom for the sixth month, and Barty Crouch Jr. was officially elected as the current Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom. Minister.
Voldemort gave him a lot of power to let him deal with the Wuping Line's attack on Britain. And Voldemort himself finally met all the pure bloods again after disappearing from public view for a long time.
On this side, Jon was of course also present. In the main hall of the Ministry of Magic, he delivered a speech that was obviously in response to Dumbledore's declaration of war.
His appearance is still as young and handsome as before, no matter what the real situation inside the pure blood is, the actual effect is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the message that Voldemort was afraid to fight, and he no longer dared to face Dumbledore.
But Jon, who actually works in the Department of Mysteries, can see clearly that even if Voldemort stands up, there is no way to change the fact that the Death Eaters, that is, the pure blood, have already had a huge split.
At the same time, after getting acquainted with the work of the Department of Mysteries for a few days, Jon also had a general understanding of the most mysterious and unknown department of the British Ministry of Magic.
In this world, there are not only wizards and other magical animals or races, such living, independent self-conscious beings can use magic.
There are still many magics that have always existed, that no one controls, but can be maintained by themselves.
such as time, such as death, such as planets, such as prophecy
That's right, the prophecy itself is actually an independent magical existence, and the wizard's divination is just obtained or peeped into them through another magical ability.
These are wonderful things, and countless wizards have been addicted to them since ancient times.
For example, when Jon led Hogwarts sailing on the sea, the "Sir Stoke" he met had an obsessive love for astronomical magic such as planets.
There are also divination masters walking around, and these people are all fanatics of spying and prophecy.
There is also the alchemy of making time converters, which has been lost until now. This is the proof that ancient wizards mastered and used time magic.
Including horcruxes, the person who created the horcruxes must have extraordinary attainments in the study of death magic.
The Department of Mysteries is a summary department that gathers the whole of Britain and even the whole of Europe, including the existence of this kind of magic.
The Department of Mysteries already existed when the Ministry of Magic was not called the Ministry of Magic, but the Council of Wizards, and the title of working here has been handed down since then. Not called an employee, but a "silent man".
The Department of Mysteries has great autonomy, and it is also the only department in the Ministry of Magic that does not need to obey the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. The silent man who can be called a "scientist" in the magical world can even ignore the intervention of the Minister of Magic.
Of course, that was in normal times, since Voldemort came to power, and all the specificity was outweighed by sheer strength.
Even if the Silent Man does not have to obey the orders of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, he has no way to disobey Voldemort's wishes. That's why this pure blood cleansing of the entire Department of Mysteries happened.
After understanding the nature of this department, Jon looked at the behavior of the pure blood occupying the Department of Mysteries again.
It can only be said that the reality is far more outrageous than the story.
These newly settled purebloods haven't even studied the magic that belongs to wizards thoroughly, let alone these innate magic.
That's why in the early days when they were stationed in the Department of Mysteries, they couldn't even count the most basic information left by the previous silent people. They thought it was a shortage of manpower. Pulled back on track.
But the reality is that an idiot is an idiot, even if there are ten thousand idiots together, they cannot become elites who can do things.
After Jon's group of purebloods entered the job in order to expand their manpower, those purebloods who thought that recruiting people could solve their problems found that no matter how many people they recruited, they couldn't understand what they didn't understand before. People start to screw up completely.
Only a very small number of purebloods who stayed in the Department of Mysteries before as the Silent Men can still do things, but the number of people they can count with one hand alone is of no help to the overall situation.
So these people didn't care about it, and just plunged into their previous research field. Others, you can do whatever you like.
As for bringing back the Reticent who knew what to do before?
That is definitely impossible. Those Silencers who have been pushed out are either of mixed blood or pure blood who have made it clear that whichever Voldemort rules the UK will be loyal to whichever. These are irreconcilable issues, and it is impossible to pull them back .
Since you can’t do things, and you can’t bring back those who can do things, let’s all play together!
Anyway, the Ministry of Magic paid them their salaries as expected, and the work in the Department of Mysteries has nothing to do with the daily operations of the magic world. As the newly appointed direct leader, Slughorn will not check their work progress and status , so even if everyone is partying here all day and doing nothing, it doesn't matter at all.
After Jon saw these pure-bloods dancing wildly, he could only say that he really saw the diversity of human beings.
But this can be called a very good thing for him and Slughorn's actions here.
Judging from the current performance of these pure bloods, after they were ordered to enter the Department of Mysteries, they were never given any further instructions. It seems that the only thing these people have to do is to stay here and not let anyone else A chance to get your hands on something here.
The purebloods who have fallen to Voldemort II are not so alienated in their attitudes towards Speke and Slughorn, who Jon is currently pretending to be, and the few people whose attitudes are not yet clear.
After all, they are just vague attitudes, rather than having made it clear that they will not stand with them. As long as there are more parties and the relationship is enhanced, other things will be easy to talk about.
Jon also took this opportunity to make good superficial relationships with the purebloods who were not very different in age from him.
At the same time, with the help of the assistant to the director provided by Slughorn, he visited all the halls that are currently accessible in the Department of Mysteries these days.
The purebloods in charge of each hall are basically having parties, and some of them even bring their house elves over to have a barbecue on the spot of the planetary hall, which is called "mood".
Jon was quite speechless about this, but he didn't express any opinions, and even took a few skewers from the barbecue party.
You can’t go to the planetary hall. It has been tossed there, as long as you open the door to enter, you will smell of skewers, and there is obviously no place in this hall that has something to do with what Jon is looking for.
And there is a locked door next to the planetary hall. At the beginning, the purebloods were also very interested in this room that cannot be entered. No matter what method they tried, they failed to open the door. The name of the room behind this door - "Love Room".
As the name suggests, it is a room dedicated to the study of love.
After learning about this incident, all the purebloods suddenly felt bored and stopped looking for a way to enter this door.
As for the Hall of Death, which is used to study death, no pure blood entered it easily after being warned by the only authentic Silent Man left.
They're crap, but not stupid, knowing that nothing that touches death is ever a good thing.
In addition, they used the Hall of Time as an exhibition hall, that is, the current Time Converter cannot be used for some reason, otherwise it is estimated that many pure bloods will go home, even if It can also be used as a family heirloom.
No one entered the Brain Hall, and the remaining genuine silent people were experts in the study of human thinking. They buried their heads in the Brain Hall and closed the door, ignoring other unlearned and inexperienced people. No matter how much trouble the pure blood of the art has to do, no one else will trouble them.
And this room is full of disgusting brains flying like jellyfish, and few pure bloods are interested in them.
Few people go to the Prophecy Hall. Most of the time, this room is used as a storage room for various prophecies from ancient times to the present. The most famous of them is, no accident, the prophecy about a savior who can fight Voldemort, but that prophecy It is said that it was placed in the storage room, but only Voldemort himself knows where it is hidden.
Pure blood also knows the seriousness, no one comes to such a place to have fun.
And within a few days, some purebloods got tired of life in the Department of Mysteries, and part of this was about the reason why the war on the Wuping Line in Britain was obviously getting smoother.
After occupying Hogsmeade at the beginning, Wuping Line relied on Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade, which used to be the goblin command for a while during the goblin rebellion, as a bridgehead.
Before the exile of the Hogwarts carriage, the large and small safe houses secretly built in various places served as small strongholds, and began to attack the high-level personnel of the British Ministry of Magic, that is, those noble purebloods.
Many purebloods have been attacked in their manors or castles these days, and they have already suffered damage. As the active attacker, the wizard Wu Pingxian hardly paid any price.
So the purebloods began to spontaneously choose to form a group. They temporarily abandoned the family resident, but gathered together to prevent being defeated one by one.
But these families all have industries in the UK. They almost monopolize 100% of the upper-class business in the UK. Otherwise, how can they provide their luxurious life with only the "meager" wages in the Ministry of Magic.
After they got together, Wu Pingxian began to attack the various shops and commercial transportation of these pure-blood families, which made them burnt out, and kept putting pressure on the current Auror office director, Karkaroff, to let him think about it as soon as possible. Way started to fight back against Wu Pingxian's actions.
These messy things add up, and these purebloods who came to work in the Department of Mysteries have no intention of staying in the Department to have parties.
They began to have frequent absenteeism behaviors. The most exaggerated one was that after Jon came to the department, the people who arrived could count on ten fingers!
Slughorn, who is a good old man, never said much about it, let alone call the absentees to reprimand him.
Jon can safely and boldly go deeper to find the source of those golden sand during this period.
However, although these pure bloods were unreliable and unreliable, some of them clearly came with missions.
Jon discovered that a few of them were very different from those pure-bloods who acted recklessly. Even if they didn't understand the work in the Department of Mysteries, they would not mess around. Instead, they were like patrolling, with a clear division of labor every day. Wandering in various halls, and clocking in at work every day, even after work at night, they will keep people, just like special security personnel.
If you ask them what they are doing, they will say that they are bored and just walk around.
After confirming the trajectories of these people, Jon no longer cared about them.
He is now a pure-blood with a formal identity, and the identity of Spike that Kingsley gave him was not considered a wasteful pure-blood young master, and he still has a certain level of knowledge. In addition, the wand business of the Ollivander family is unlikely to be affected anyway, so it is not noticeable that he did not miss work.
Therefore, Jon's subsequent investigation went very smoothly. He quickly ruled out other rooms and locked the final target within the scope of the Hall of Time.
Because in the main hall of the Hall of Time, there are many large and small hourglasses, and the sand flowing in those hourglasses is very similar to the bottle of golden gravel obtained from Snape.
