Chapter 147： The key to the haunted

I was spotted by Grindelwald and went to Hogwarts https://

"It didn't take long," Shawn shook his head and asked curiously, "Professor, do you know what I'm here for?"

Dumbledore walked up to him and sat down: "Newt contacted me, and it happened that I learned something at the Ministry of Magic, and I guessed that you will probably come to me."

"Ministry of Magic?"

"Yes, Sean, do you have the habit of reading newspapers?"

Sean nodded embarrassedly, he kept rubbing the Daily Prophet ordered by Hermione.

However, newspapers? Sean was stunned, he thought of the news he had seen before.

The day they started school, the Ministry of Magic was confronted with thieves, but Minister Fudge had been refusing to say what was stolen, and Harry and his party nearly missed the train when they encountered Aurors chasing the intruder.

"Professor, does it have anything to do with that stolen thing?"

Dumbledore nodded: "Yes, the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic has lost something important, and it took me a lot of effort to pry some information out of Fudge's mouth."

"what is that?"

"A key, but I'm more inclined, that's a needle..."

Keys and needles? Sean looked at each other suspiciously.

Dumbledore's expression was a little serious. He looked up at the skylight. There was a dark night sky, and there were no stars tonight.

"Shaun, when you were in the Muggle world, you should have heard a lot of, um, fairy tales?" Dumbledore asked thoughtlessly.

"Yes, Professor, I have thought about it many times after I entered Hogwarts. There seem to be many shadows of wizards in those fairy tales." Although he didn't know why Dumbledore asked this, Sean was still quick answered.

Dumbledore smiled: "Yes, since ancient times, wizards have appeared on this land. Whether it is the wizarding world or the Muggle world, there are indeed many shadows of wizards in those ancient legends. However, we Another thing to say, Sean, have you heard of 'The Otherworld'?"

Sean nodded suspiciously. Of course he has heard of the afterlife. In mythology, the afterlife is a magical place. There live gods, elves and fairies, as well as ugly and terrifying giants and monsters. Paradise to live in.

The afterlife is different from the concept of **** or underworld. This place is usually located on the lake of the gods, islands, forests and mountains. It is a paradise for souls to live temporarily before reincarnation. Some of these places are resplendent like heaven, while others are gloomy and depressing like hell.

Moreover, the present world of human beings is only one step away from the other world, but only prophets and bards can freely shuttle between the two. Of course, in legends, there are also many heroes who have obtained powerful martial arts and extraordinary skills there. ability.

"Looks like you know, that saves me having to explain, it's a tiring job to talk to Fudge," Dumbledore waved, and a bottle with a drink flew over, he poured two glasses, and then happily Drank it down, "I like sweet drinks, Sean, won't you try it?"

Sean took a sip, and then asked suspiciously, "I've heard of the afterlife, but does it have anything to do with the wizarding world?"

"Of course, my child." Dumbledore blinked, "There is another name in the wizarding world, but very few people have heard of it, it is called: Blurred Illusion."

Sean remembered all of a sudden, he still remembered this, the blurry fantasy is a state between life and death. It appears within the human mind as both reality and fantasy.

Dumbledore explained: "Blurry vision is a temporary place for the soul, unknown and mysterious..."

Shaun suddenly thought of what the ghostly horned water snake had said, which had only woken up a few days ago... and Dumbledore had just said that the mysterious man who had infiltrated the Ministry of Magic had stolen a key.

He looked up in surprise, not even noticing the spilled drink from his glass.

"Professor, that key can open the gap between the illusion and the world?!"

Dumbledore sighed: "I think, it should be like this - but whether the blurred illusion is another world or is generated by human thought, I don't know. However, I can be sure that the world and the blurred There is an unknown barrier between illusions, and this barrier can often only be opened at a special moment, perhaps when a person dies..."

Dumbledore raised the cup in his hand: "Like this cup, we are separated from the blurred vision by a barrier, and only at a special moment, your soul will rise and fall into the illusion from the mouth of the cup. middle."

"And the stolen thing, it can drill a small hole in the wall of the cup..." Dumbledore shook the cup, and a tiny hole appeared on the transparent wall.

The liquid inside flowed out slowly and firmly, and soon, a drop of water dripped from the opening.

Sean immediately understood what Dumbledore meant He looked up at each other in disbelief and swallowed hard: "Professor, those souls in the blurred illusion..."

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded solemnly, "although it's only a small gap, a few souls have already escaped, and they reappeared as ghosts, gaining access to the Must have the ability to..."

"That ghost long-horned water snake is?"

"Yes."

Sean asked with a toothache: "It should be more than one, right? Moreover, these souls have become ghosts again, what are their goals?"

"That's what I'm thinking about," Dumbledore reluctantly adjusted his glasses, "souls become ghosts again, and they will try to fulfill their wishes in life. That water snake may be kind, but not necessarily other souls... …”

His voice was solemn and serious: "The mysterious man who stole things has already made arrangements, and he will use other ghosts that we have not yet known to accomplish his goals."

"What does he want?" Sean asked.

Dumbledore looked at Sean with complicated eyes: "The only thing I can think of is prophecy."

Another prophecy? Still prophecy!

Sean took a few deep breaths irritably. This unknown prophecy was the key to everything, and he didn't understand why Daisy was also involved.

He originally thought that the accidents in Godric's Valley and the Forbidden Forest were all directed at him, but now it seems that he just met by accident, and the real target is probably Daisy.

"Professor," Sean's tone was so dissatisfied and anxious for the first time, "Can't this prophecy be told to me?"

Dumbledore stood up slowly: "Maybe it's time..."
