Chapter 480: The Secret Room in the Hall of Time

Chapter 480: The Secret Room in the Hall of Time

It was a small secret room, and when Jon walked in, four or five candles were suddenly lit up on the surrounding walls, illuminating the space.

Not only was it a small space, but all the furnishings within the room were also simple; there was a bed, a desk, a row of bookshelves, and a mirror stand that was supposed to be a mirror, but at the moment it was missing the mirror on it.

Jon quickly shifted his gaze to the small wooden box on the desk, which was the only thing that could store items within this room.

But when Jon picked it up and opened it very easily, he didn't find a single item in it.

The wooden box was as empty as this secret room like there was nothing in it, and Jon sped up his search through the entire room and still found nothing.

This made him frown.

The time was nearing the point he had agreed with Slughorn, the purebloods here were alert, and even a banquet wouldn't slow them down for long.

Jon didn't continue to linger in the secret room, he walked out quickly and then removed the egg from the door, after which the entire door began to close.

He shoved the egg back into the clear glass cylinder while adding water to it, and finally changing the colour of the water with a spell.

It was just that this effect of the egg turning into a bird required a specialised metamorphosis catalyst liquid, and with Jon's current condition he certainly couldn't produce it, but he could just use a transfiguration spell to make such a metamorphosis effect last for a period of time, and this kind of effectiveness certainly wasn't as smooth as the transfiguration as it had been before, and it wouldn't last as long, but at least it could barely manage for some time.

And just as Jon had finished all of this just now, the door to the Time Room was steeply opened from outside.

Dandy looked at Jon with a serious face, as if Auror was staring at a criminal.

"What are you doing!"

Jon's face was as usual.

"What's all the fuss about, I just want to have a quick look here and try to see if I can get these time-turners fixed."This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

He said as he pointed to the time-turners that were placed on the glass counter that was in a messy state as Jon hadn't had a chance to put them back in place yet.

Dandy didn't just listen to what Jon had to say, he took a quick glance around the entire time room, then walked in and checked around the place, glancing at Jon as he did so.

Jon acted innocently.

"I tried to absorb the magic in it with my ring, but there was nothing in it, it wasn't a magical artefact at all."

"What about the other stuff?"

Jon shook his head.

"I didn't have time to check the other stuff, it was too tight, and by the time I got out I happened to run into that Dandy, and I have a feeling he already has some suspicions about me."

Slughorn paced back and forth in his office.

"Whether he suspects or not isn't much of a problem, we'll be here for two days at most regardless of whether we end up gaining something or not, but that secret room will have to be checked again, just because the box is fine doesn't mean that the rest of the furniture is fine, I don't think that Voldemort would go to all the trouble of hiding a place like this and having a team of Aurors specifically to keep an eye on the inside and yet there's nothing in there. "

Jon nodded back.

"Christmas is in two days, which means that after tonight, we'll really only have one day left."

Silence fell in the office as both Jon and Slughorn pondered how on earth they were going to find that thing that Voldemort had hidden.

***

"Malfoy and the others have had an encounter with the Witching Horizons' men!"

Hearing the explosions and shouts coming from the distance, Amycus acted unusually excited.

The people he had brought with him were hiding in one of the Manor's abandoned utility rooms, and during this time a number of Witching Horizon's squads had been seen passing by, heading in the direction of Moody to support them.

This was the situation he had envisaged when he had decided to separate from Lucius in the first place, and it was the only way to give them a better chance of escaping.
