Chapter 676: Riddle Wanders Around the Ministry of Magic, and Potter Wants to Save Sirius

When night came, Harry and Ron climbed into bed early to rest.

Two consecutive weeks of O.W.L. exams and a burst of crazy fun after the exams had made them physically and mentally exhausted, so they all fell asleep within a minute of their heads hitting the pillow.

Of course, this definitely does not include Fish... cats are nocturnal creatures!

While Fish was wandering around alone outside (Hermione also went to rest early due to the fatigue accumulated from the exam), Harry, who had already fallen asleep, once again dreamed of the dark, cool road in the Department of Mysteries for the first time in a long time. corridor...

He walked down the corridor unhurriedly, with firm and decisive steps. The joy of reaching his goal filled Harry's chest. He believed that he would finally reach his destination this time... The black door opened for him as usual. , he was standing in a circular room with many doors...

He walked straight across the stone floor and through the second door... Spots of light danced on the walls and floor, and strange instruments were ticking, but there was no time to look carefully, he had to hurry up...

Harry quickened his pace and came to the third door, which opened like the other doors...

He was once again in a cathedral-like room full of shelves and balls... His heart was beating very fast at this moment... He would definitely be able to get there this time... Walking to the ninety-seventh row of shelves, he walked towards Turn left and hurried forward along the aisle between the two rows of shelves...

What was different from previous dreams was that at the end of the corridor, a dark thing was crawling on the ground, like a wounded animal... Harry's heart tightened suddenly, and an inexplicable fear surged into his heart, and at the same time , and another cruel pleasure surged from the bottom of my heart.

"Get it for me...quickly, take it down...I can't touch it...you can touch it..."

A cold, high-pitched voice without any human kindness came out of Harry's mouth. This voice was very familiar to him...it was Voldemort's voice.

The dark thing on the floor moved slightly. Harry saw a pale, slender hand stretched out from the front of his arm, holding a wand... He heard Voldemort coldly shout: "Cruciato!"

The man on the floor screamed in agony and tried to stand up, only to squirm and fall.

Harry was laughing, but the fear in his heart was also increasing sharply. The voice of the man on the floor was also familiar to him, but he couldn't accurately identify it because it was a scream, but Harry was sure that the voice of the man on the floor was a scream. The man must be someone he is familiar with.

In a mood mixed with fear and excitement, Harry enjoyed the man's screams for a while, then slowly removed his wand, the spell stopped, and the figure groaned and stopped moving.

"Lord Voldemort is waiting..." he said sarcastically.

The man on the floor, with trembling arms, slowly raised his shoulders a few inches from the ground and raised his head. His body was stained with blood, twisted with pain, but with unyielding perseverance...

"Unless you kill me," Sirius said softly.

"You will definitely do it in the end," Voldemort sneered and said, "But you have to take it off for me first, Black... Do you think you have already felt the pain? Think about it... We have plenty of time, and no one can I can’t hear your screams…”

He pointed the wand at Sirius again. Harry tried hard to stop Voldemort like last time, but this time it had no effect at all.

"...Lee...Harry...Harry!"

Waves of distant calls rang in Harry's ears, and at the same time, the scar on his forehead began to hurt as if it was on fire.

Harry covered his forehead and woke up from the bed screaming. Around him, Ron and others were looking at him with worried faces.

"Harry, are you okay?"

"Did you have another nightmare? Neville has already gone to find Professor McGonagall."

"Do I need to take you to Madam Pomfrey's?"

Everyone asked with concern.

"I...I'm fine..." Harry covered his forehead and crawled out of bed sweating profusely.

However, the severe pain in his forehead made Harry very weak now. After he staggered a few steps, he was supported by Ron.

"Where do you want to go? Professor McGonagall will be here soon." Ron helped him sit back on the bed and said with some reproach.

"Sirius...Sirius was captured by Voldemort...I want to see Dumbledore!" Harry struggled to get up, but was held down firmly by Ron, so he could only keep shouting. .

Regarding the true situation of Sirius, Harry and Fish were reported together when they were interviewed by Skeeter, so Seamus and Dean already knew that he was innocent.

It's just that they didn't know that Sirius was currently staying in the Order of the Phoenix. They thought he was hiding from the Aurors outside as he told the Ministry of Magic.

But Ron knew the situation, and he said in surprise: "But hasn't Sirius always stayed in the Black family's ancestral home? It's impossible for the mysterious man to find him."

"I don't know what happened! But I saw it with my own eyes in my dream!" Harry roared, continuing to struggle to stand up. "Don't forget how your father was rescued!"

Ron subconsciously let go of his hand, and Harry immediately pushed him away, then stumbled out of the dormitory.

"This way, Professor." At this moment, Neville came back with Professor McGonagall.

She hurried into the dormitory in a plaid dressing gown, her glasses tilted on her thin nose. It was obvious that she had rushed here as soon as Neville woke her up.

Harry had never been so happy to see Professor McGonagall as he was now. He needed members of the Order of the Phoenix.

"Sirius! Sirius has been captured by Voldemort!" Harry staggered to Professor McGonagall and shouted anxiously, "In the Department of Mysteries! He needs Sirius to get something!"

"That's impossible." Professor McGonagall frowned, "He should be staying at home."

"But I saw it! I saw it in my dream!" Harry yelled angrily, "If we don't save him, he will be killed by Voldemort!"

Professor McGonagall was not angry because of Harry's rudeness, but gently comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll take you to see Dumbledore, he can directly contact the Order of the Phoenix, and then we will know if Sirius is in trouble."

Then she looked at Ron and the others and said, "You continue to rest, remember not to tell others about what happened tonight."

After that, Professor McGonagall turned and walked out of the dormitory.

Harry followed closely for two steps, then he quickly stopped and thought, turned back and took his wand from the bedside, and then caught up with Professor McGonagall again and quickly surpassed her.

Because Harry was in a hurry to save Sirius, Professor McGonagall had to follow him all the way to the third floor, and then Harry couldn't wait for the slow rise of the spiral staircase, so he ran up quickly again.

Professor McGonagall, who was no longer young, didn't have such good physical strength. Anyway, she didn't need the command later, so she simply sat on the stairs, calming her breath while waiting for the spiral staircase to slowly send her up.

"Bang!"

Harry ran to the top of the building panting. He didn't have time to breathe at all. He directly smashed open the shining oak door with great momentum and rushed in while shouting.

"Professor Dumbledore! Go and save Sirius!"

When Harry rushed into the headmaster's office, he noticed that Dumbledore was wearing the wizard robe he wore during the day, sitting at his desk, with a black, trembling bug in his mouth.

And on the desk in front of Dumbledore, a cute tabby cat was lying on a worn-out wizard hat, also holding a black bug in its mouth.

I saw a reader say that there is an s after O.W.L. I wrote it according to the translation of People's Publishing House, and there is no s in it, so I checked it out and found that the English version has it.

Then I looked up some abbreviations of exams in the UK, and it seems that there is no such thing...

Finally, I looked up the full names in the original English version, and found that in the third part, OWLs stands for Ordinary Wizarding Levels, and NEWTs stands for Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests. However, when the full name appeared later, the s at the end of the full name was gone, but the abbreviation was still there, so it was probably just used to indicate the plural?

The full translation of OWL is Ordinary Wizarding Level Exam, which is relatively normal, and the abbreviation owl is also the English word for owl.

And NEWT's translation is "Hateful and Exhausting Wizarding Exam", and newt is salamander.

In addition, NEWT is also the abbreviation of new-type. As long as you pass this test, you are a qualified new human, qualified to drive a MS equipped with a floating gun! (Not really)
