Chapter 61: The Lost Fire Dragon Skeleton Fossil

Professor McGonagall was about to enter a room. After hearing the shout, she turned around and saw those familiar figures with a surprised look.

"Mr. Scamander... why are you here?"

"I came to the Department of Mysteries to apply for a document about Azkaban." Rolf walked towards Professor McGonagall and smiled, "Professor, what are you doing here?"

"I..." Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment, glanced at Hermione from the corner of her eye, and whispered, "I'm here to do something for Professor Dumbledore."

Rolf thought about it and suddenly understood that Professor McGonagall was probably here to help Hermione apply for a time turner.

Hogwarts students need to choose courses in the third year, and Hermione has chosen all the courses, which conflicts in time... she needs to use a time turner.

Of course, not everyone can apply for a time turner. The school must guarantee that the student is both good in character and learning, and the Ministry of Magic must agree.

It is probably difficult for a student like Luo Fu to apply successfully. His "study" is indeed excellent, but his immediate family members are the focus of surveillance, and he is the kind of student who fails the "political review".

At this moment, the circular wall of the hall suddenly rotated, making a loud rumbling sound, and the blue candles on the wall formed a series of gorgeous halos.

Soon, the rumbling sound disappeared, and everything returned to calm.

Luo Fu raised his head and looked at the whole room.

This is a hall in the style of an ancient Greek amphitheater, with walls and floors made of black marble.

Twelve black doors are evenly distributed on the wall. They are exactly the same, without any markings or handles.

As the wall rotates, the positions of the doors are all disrupted, and it is no longer possible to tell which door is the original entrance.

Seeing that several people were looking at the room, Professor McGonagall explained:

"There are twelve doors in the hall of the Department of Mysteries, one of which is the exit leading to the elevator.

The other eleven doors lead to ten special rooms and an office."

"Professor McGonagall, what's the matter with the rotating wall?" Hermione asked curiously.

"It's very similar to the staircase in Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall said:

"Every time you enter a room and return to the hall, the wall will rotate and randomly shuffle the positions of these doors."

"Then how can we find the room we want to go to?" Shirley asked: "Do we rely on luck?"

"Maybe..." Hermione thought about it and said cleverly: "We can make a mark on the door every time we enter it. Even if the wall rotates and shuffles, we know which rooms we have entered."

"No." Tonks suddenly said: "There are magic on these doors. The marks will not last too long and will disappear automatically."

"That's right." Professor McGonagall explained patiently as if she was giving a lecture in the Transfiguration class:

"In fact, it doesn't have to be so complicated. Just choose the first door on the right every time you enter a room. Don't go back and ignore the other doors... Keep going, and you can walk through every room without repeating."

Professor McGonagall pushed open a door at random, and she whispered: "Follow me."

Everyone followed Professor McGonagall and entered a square room.

The room was almost empty, with only a huge glass water tank filled with dark green liquid in the middle, and many milky white objects were floating in the liquid.

"What is this?" Shirley asked, looking at the milky white objects.

Rolf observed them, and they appeared and disappeared in the depths of the green liquid, shining eerily, like cauliflower in a sticky lake.

He tried to suppress his nausea and said, "Brains."

"..."

"Why does the Ministry of Magic keep such things?"

"I heard Professor Dumbledore say before..." Professor McGonagall whispered:

"The Department of Mysteries is studying how the brain produces thoughts, and they are also studying the differences between the brains of Muggles, Squibs and wizards.

In short, these things are very dangerous. They like to cling to other people's heads, absorb other people's thoughts, and turn wizards into fools."

Hearing Professor McGonagall say this, everyone immediately moved away from the pool.

Professor McGonagall walked to the first door on the right, pushed it open, looked at the boy again, and asked:

"Rolf, why are you back now?"

"Because of Peter's matter, I have to come back, professor."

"Are you alone?" Professor McGonagall asked with concern. "Are Newt and Tina back?"

"No." Rolf glanced at Professor McGonagall and said, "But Professor Hicks came with me, she is in Hogwarts."

"Oh, is Professor Hicks here too?" Professor McGonagall smiled and said, "I will go back to school and see her later."qqxδnew

"Professor Hicks may not dare to see you for the time being." Rolf carefully glanced at Professor McGonagall's face and asked, "You didn't go back to school yesterday?"

"No." Professor McGonagall asked curiously, "What happened?"

"Professor Hicks's airship collapsed the ceiling of the Gryffindor lounge." Rolf whispered.

"..."

Professor McGonagall was originally very happy, but she suddenly stopped talking and looked a little autistic. Obviously, the boy brought her some unhappy news.

They soon entered the third room, which was a room full of fossils and specimens, and looked like a mysterious circus.

On the shelves in the aisles, there were bottles and jars of various shapes and sizes used to preserve species, and inside them were specimens of various magical creatures.

Salamanders, stinging jellyfish, Mithras... there were many other specimens, things that Luof couldn't recognize.

In addition to specimens, there are various ancient fossils, fossils of extinct magical creatures, which have been spliced ​​together to restore their appearance in life.

A group of people walked along the aisle and came to an old, gray wooden door. The door was stained with cracks and looked ordinary.

"This is the office of the Department of Mysteries." Professor McGonagall knocked on the door, then turned around and said:

"I'll go in first, and it will be your turn in a moment. Do you know how to get out?"

"Go back along the same path." Hermione thought for a moment and said, "Take the door on the left?"

"No." Mag shook his head and said: "It's the same as coming and going. Keep taking the door on the right. You will eventually return to the original hall. Then take the door on the right and leave."

The door creaked open, and a pale middle-aged man walked out.

Professor McGonagall looked at the man and asked strangely: "Where is Mr. Saul Crocker? He was responsible for reviewing my application before."

The middle-aged wizard said expressionlessly: "Mr. Crocker is on sick leave. I will receive you, Professor McGonagall."

Professor McGonagall nodded and walked into the office, leaving Rolf and the others in the room.

At this moment, Shirley suddenly pointed into the distance and said, "Rolph, look at that!"

Luofu looked in the direction of the ponytail girl's finger and saw the skeleton of a fire dragon.

His eyes widened because the fossilized fire dragon bone was more than a hundred meters long.

Luofu looked at Shirley and said in disbelief:

"Is this... the missing fossil from the Romanian Fire Dragon Sanctuary?"
