Chapter 197 The Dead and the Arch
"I know you two probably want to have some fun at the Ministry," Sirius said eagerly to Constantine and the dead man, waving his arms, "but at least get Harry out of here first—with one of your Small teleportation array or something!"
"You don't know how many treasures there are here. The Department of Mysteries really has the power of the government." Constantine, who had always been lazy and cynical, was rarely so excited that he stopped smoking.
At this time, the sound of glass shattering behind the shelf was no longer so intense, and Malfoy had already begun to deploy his staff to search separately.
"I'll be right away..." Constantine quickly drew a magic circle on the ground as he spoke, before he finished speaking, Harry found himself in a free fall.
After a second or two, she fell straight to the hard ground.
Sirius seemed quite used to this way of landing, he helped Harry up—
"This is not... this is not the House of Mysteries, nor 12 Grimmauld Place! This is still the Department of Mysteries! Constantine!"
They are now in a dimly lit rectangular room. This room looks even larger than the prophecy ball room just now. There is a huge depression in the middle, like a deep pit. They are located on the plane at the bottom of the deep pit.
The room is surrounded by stepped rows of stone benches that surround a sunken central platform, like some sort of Roman Colosseum.
And Constantine is staring obsessively at an arch erected on the high stone platform in the center of the depression. This arch looks very old and dilapidated, without any wall support around it. A tattered black curtain hangs on the arch, even There was no air movement in the room, it was still fluttering slightly.
"I didn't say I was going to leave, big dog." Constantine took a few more steps toward the arch, "Before I leave, I will take this rare treasure with me no matter what."
"Arch?" Sirius couldn't understand, "You want to take an arch? Even the Ministry of Magic doesn't know what's behind this door! They only know that people will die if they go in!"
"And, if you take this thing, the Ministry of Magic will definitely hunt you down!"
Constantine rolled his eyes, "It's as if the British Ministry of Magic isn't chasing us now—it's not all because of you."
"As for this door, mystery—is its preciousness." Constantine licked his lips and walked around the curtain, "And, we'll find out soon." The dead man on guard (now Dolokhov) pushed into the arch!
"Hey! Kang..." The dead man fell into the curtain before he could finish his sentence.
Harry was horrified to see the dead man/Dolohov disappear into the veil with a mixture of horror and surprise on his face.
In complete violation of the laws of physics, he did not reappear on the other side.And the curtain, like being blown by a strong wind, returned to calm after frantically swinging.
"Merlin! You killed Boston!" Sirius rushed over and grabbed Constantine by the collar, raising his fist to hit him.
But one second before the fist landed on the bridge of Constantine's nose, he saw from the corner of his eye—the dead man flew out by himself, in the form of a soul body, and only Dolokhov disappeared behind the veil.
"Look, he's not dead, his soul has long been owned by the Indian goddess Ramakushna, and no one can take him. And he's already dead, it's impossible to die again," Constantine spread his hands, "You can let go now Me, Big Dog?"
"Besides, we also managed to deal with an enemy—although I know we don't pay attention to these little guys, but one less is one." Constantine blinked meanly.
Sirius reluctantly gave away the guy's windbreaker collar, a little regretful that the punch he wanted to punch him in the face didn't land in time, it seems that if there is a chance, he must do it as soon as possible!
"Over the curtain... What's there?" Harry always felt that someone was talking to her in the archway, especially when the environment is quiet like now, this is not a good sign...
"Maybe as soon as I entered, the archway realized that I didn't belong here. I didn't see or hear anything." The dead man shrugged and flew around the archway.
At this time, the door of the room was suddenly knocked open.
"Here they are!" Two Death Eaters found Harry. To Harry's confusion, the two Death Eaters were still standing by the door at the top of the stone steps, and did not rush down immediately.
She got the answer right away - as one of the Death Eaters rolled up his sleeves and rested his wand somewhere on his upper arm.
"Go!" Harry waved to Sirius and the others, "These Death Eaters are going to summon Voldemort!"
"Give me 1 minute—no, ten seconds, let me take this arch away." Constantine immersed himself in drawing the magic circle, completely ignoring the current tense situation.
Sirius cursed and charged at the Death Eater with his wand raised.The dead man moved faster, had already possessed one of them, and now joined Sirius in attacking the remaining one.
The fight was over quickly, the dead still occupying the Death Eater's body.
"How much longer will you have?" Sirius asked irritably.
"Strange..." Konstantin half-kneeled on the ground, "This broken door should have disappeared..."
"That's because I sealed off this room, and you heretic magic can be easily restrained." A cold and high-pitched voice said, this voice gave Harry goosebumps, reminding him of that tragic afternoon in the cemetery half a year ago.
Tall and thin, wearing a black hood, pale and haggard like a terrifying snake face, a pair of red eyes with slender pupils fixedly stared at Harley.
She gripped the prophecy ball tightly.
Voldemort appeared at the door and stood before the four of them in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the rest of the Death Eaters, including Malfoy, also rushed to the arched room—they didn't dare to breathe.Harry even had a feeling that these Death Eaters were several times more scared than him.
"Lord, master..." Malfoy's trembling voice sounded in the quiet room, causing echoes, "I, we did our best... We didn't expect that Black would, would have these strange helpers."
"Stop it, Malfoy," Voldemort said without a trace of ups and downs in his voice, "do you think I entered the Ministry of Magic just to hear you cry and make excuses?"
He looked at Constantine, who was still leisurely, and Nott, who looked curious and obviously not himself, and squinted his eyes.
Harry clenched the prophecy ball and warrior/knife in her hands, suppressing the uncontrollable trembling—did death make her more timid towards Voldemort?She shouldn't be like this, she is no longer a Horcrux...
Harry stuffed the prophecy ball into his pocket, and slowly pulled out his wand—four people dealt with thirteen wizards, including one Voldemort, how should the layout be arranged?
Before Harry could react, Sirius stood in front of her, and a spell directly attacked Voldemort.
Voldemort didn't speak, but just raised his hand, lightly blocking Sirius' attack, and then, a green light shot straight towards his chest.
Before Harry and the dead man had time to act, a clear female voice sounded in the room——
"Position changer Dead Eater and Star Wolf Tianxiao."
This is... Zatanna is coming!
The green light submerged into the hooded figure that suddenly appeared in front of Harry in the blink of an eye, and he fell limply.
And Sirius appeared out of thin air among the Death Eaters at the door. He reacted very quickly and immediately knocked down two still stunned enemies with a stun spell.
At this moment, Malfoy and Carlo had already reacted, fighting Sirius two-on-one.
The dead man rushed through the archway - Nott disappeared before Voldemort's eyes.
Then, the dead man who had just floated out of the arch unscathed, quickly flew to Sirius - occupied Carlo's body, and dealt with the rest of the people with him.
Seeing the huge disparity in the number of people, Harry also rushed over.
Zatanna and Constantine had already fought Voldemort for several rounds at this time.
"Turn the opposite spell."
A green light turned back on Voldemort himself, who blocked it angrily, his slender red eyes widening.
"Don't challenge my patience!" He waved his hand, and a green light flew towards Constantine, and the two of them only cared about dodging and turning around.Missed Voldemort's spell in the other direction - the stone steps where Harry and Sirius were located collapsed from the top floor under Voldemort's magic, and they fell into the deep pit in the center of the room with the Death Eaters.
While blocking Zatanna's magic, Voldemort dragged more than half of the Death Eaters who were struggling in the stone ruins like marionettes, and piled them up in front of him, letting them deal with these two magicians who didn't play their cards according to common sense , flew to the other side by himself, and dealt with Harry and Sirius himself.
Zatanna took a quick glance at the situation beyond the ruins.
"Go help Harry and the others, I'm the only one here!" she shouted to Constantine.
Harry pushed away the stones on her body, she had just used her armor to protect her body from the impact, and she patted her pocket, predicting that the ball was still there.
At this time Voldemort was already standing in front of Sirius who had just climbed up, and his wand had been raised.
Constantine tentatively opened the magic gap-this magic that needs to be transmitted with blood has not yet failed.
Therefore, the way he helped Sirius was to throw Harry in front of Voldemort, and summon Sirius with magic, and push him into the gap.
Sirius' eyes widened angrily, one of them lost his grip, grabbed Constantine and did not let go, and brought the wizard in the windbreaker into another dimension!
This is 12 Grimmauld Place.
Sirius jumped up as soon as he hit the ground and punched Constantine in the face—
"How dare you! Let Harry stand in front!" He yelled heart-piercingly while beating, "Her death is on your head!"
"Harry's not dead! At least he's not dead right now! As long as the prophecy ball is still on her!" Constantine started to argue after being punched a few times, "One of the rules of the battlefield is to let the opponent dare not kill In front—well, don’t dare to kill for the time being.”
