Chapter 1223 Harry, He Gripped the Sword Tightly

"How is this going?"

Scrimgeour's expression was full of astonishment as he looked at the golden carved wooden display case that had completely fallen into an endless loop of time. But Maka, who was standing in front of him, just narrowed his eyes slightly, without any expression on his face.

"Mr Scrimgeour," he said, "it is evident that someone has visited your place once before we came."

In that cabinet, all the existing time converters of the Ministry of Magic are stored—including the five before Maca, which were also taken from here.

In addition to the Ministry of Magic, there may be one or two wizarding families that are also secretly stored, but Maca is sure that the total number of such things is definitely not many.

After all, the Time-Turner was originally a leftover from what was then the Wizarding Council of England, the predecessor of the British Ministry of Magic.

And those who made them were the first generation members of the "Institute of Ancient Magic and Alchemy" established by the Wizarding Council several centuries ago.

In the end, Maca didn't step into the Hall of Time. He just stared blankly at the door for a while, and then retreated to the circular hall outside.

"Looking at you, I don't think I can ask any more questions... But Mr. Scrimgeour, if you can learn any clues from colleagues in the Department of Mysteries, remember to contact me and tell me in time. Hmm ,Then……"

Having said that, Maca suddenly spread his arms.

"Like I said before - I'm short on time this time around, so it's time to go."

...

Even the Time-Turner stored by the Ministry of Magic was secretly destroyed, which made Maca's heart, which had been suspended because of Luna's matter, suddenly sink and sink.

Of the Time Turners he knew, there were still three left unchecked. But to say whether they are still intact... To be honest, Maca is really not sure now.

After leaving the Ministry of Magic, Maca could only stop thinking about it, and instead left London and returned to Hogwarts to take a look.

At the same time, in the ward of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Magic...

"Harry, are you... are you really going to Diagon Alley? No more thinking about it?"

Right now, most of the friends in the ward were sitting or standing, looking at Harry by the window with complicated faces. As for Harry's girlfriend Ginny, she was standing opposite him, staring at him with an unbearable anxiety in her eyes.

That's right, as Ginny said, Harry still decided to leave St. Mungo's with the sword of Gryffindor and rush to Diagon Alley to support the operation of the Order of the Phoenix headed by Sirius, Lupine and Kingsley.

But on the other hand, Ginny understood that if Harry really went... Even though she wanted to follow in Harry's footsteps very much, she could only stay here and wait silently.

Because, today's Harry may have the capital to go out, but Ginny obviously doesn't. If she goes with her, she is doomed to become a useless burden.

"Well," Harry couldn't help holding Ginny's hand earnestly when he heard this, "Ginny, I've thought about it a lot—especially after hearing the dangers that Hermione and Miss Parkinson described. Instead, I feel that I should go out and do my part.”

As he was speaking, Harry looked towards Hermione,

Then Hermione, who was sitting on the edge of Luna's bed, was looking at him silently.

He paused for a moment before continuing:

"According to what Hermione said, apart from Haierbo himself, there was also a very weird black-eyed wizard who attacked them on the street outside. Although that strange wizard was quickly restrained by Maca, But that doesn't mean his strength is vulnerable."

"On the contrary, a wizard who was able to fight against Maca several times without being injured, the power he possesses is not ordinary... What's more, in the end, he seemed to be taken away by Hai Erbo before he left!"

Hearing what Harry said, Ginny was just taken aback, and soon said worriedly:

"Could it be... you want to deal with that guy alone?"

"Oh, no," Harry waved his hands quickly, "Of course I'm not that stupid—to be precise, I think that when Sirius and the others met that person, I... Gryffindor and I The sword can play its due role."

"Ok--"

It wasn't that Ginny couldn't understand Harry's thoughts, but to be honest, it was really difficult for her to let Harry go outside to fight in the already extremely dangerous London city.

After hesitating for a while, she couldn't help but cast a look at Hermione that was mixed with inquiry and help.

Seeing this Ron's younger sister and her junior looking at her pitifully, Hermione was actually a little embarrassed. Because according to her current thinking, she actually didn't want Harry to go out very much.

But after Maca said what she said earlier, she also realized that everyone should have the right and freedom to choose how to act.

It's actually like Maca is always respecting every step she takes.

"Harry, if you really understand what you're about to face, I won't object."

After thinking for a while, Hermione finally spoke, but what she said didn't seem to be what Ginny thought. Then Hermione went on to say:

"However, I only hope that when you go out to help everyone, you must always remember that there are still people here waiting for you to return safely."

"Oh, of course," Harry nodded immediately, then turned to look at Ginny and said, "I assure you, if I am in danger, I will put my life first. After all... now I This life no longer belongs to me alone.”

"...Harry."

Ginny knew that she probably had no reason to ask Harry to stay anymore, so she could only purse her lips, and nodded along with reddened eyes.

"I see...you must be careful!"

Needless to say, while Haierbo's strength far exceeds that of Voldemort, Haierbo's subordinates are not comparable to the Death Eaters of the past.

If it was just the Dark Lord back then, Ginny might not be so worried. But now, not to mention her, even Maca was struggling, and the dire situation was self-evident.

"Then I'm leaving..." "Wait!"

Just when Harry was about to say goodbye to Ginny and leave, Hermione suddenly stopped him again.

"Huh? Is there anything else?"

When Harry was slightly puzzled, Hermione picked up the bag she had set aside and reached out, and then took out a large stack of palm-sized thin stone slabs from it.

"This is what I planned to use for self-defense at a critical moment. It is a set of ancient rune combinations that can inspire powerful protective spells. It needs to be used on the ground like the rune array we set up in school." She said seriously Explains, "Although I have simplified it as much as possible, it is obvious that I didn't even have a chance to take it out when facing Hai Erbo."

Recalling the feeling of powerlessness at that time, Hermione couldn't help but look down at Luna again, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

"...However, if you encounter some dangers that are not unprepared, I think you may be able to use it."

After hearing this, Harry immediately walked up to Hermione and wanted to take it from her, but Hermione's hand suddenly retracted again.

"Don't worry!"

She stuffed the slate back into her bag, and handed it to Harry along with the bag.

"There are several bottles of Baixian essence in here, remember to use it as soon as possible if you are injured, and of course there are many other useful things-in fact, when you decided to leave, I should have gone with you no matter what It's just... Haierbo has obviously been eyeing me for a long time, and it is undoubtedly a very stupid and irresponsible behavior for me to go out again..."

"I know," Harry nodded hurriedly, raised the sword in his hand and said, "Leave it to me! I will replace you and everyone, and punish those nasty dark wizards properly!"

"Be careful on the road."

...

If I have to say it, Harry, who is holding the Gryffindor sword in his hand, may really be the only one among all the friends who has enough power to protect himself.

Although even he himself didn't know what was going on, and he was obviously not recognized by Gryffindor, but he still had the power to wield a sword to fend off enemies.

However, Maca actually knew in his heart that the current Harry was far from mastering the sword of Gryffindor.

Anyway, this sword is also an ancient magic item at the same level as a series of sources of evil such as the Bewitching Monument and the Devouring Mirror, and the power contained in it can be said to be beyond Harry's imagination.

To put it bluntly, he is now just an ordinary wizard who has gained a little physical benefit from it and can hold it without being corrupted by evil.

But even this "little bit" is enough for him to show a considerable combat power.

After all, the Sword of Gryffindor is the only object among the "sources of evil" known to Maca that appears in the form of a weapon. And similar to it, it seems that there is only the "dagger of pain" that can seal people's emotions back then.

"Harry!"

At the door of the waiting hall, Harry, who was about to leave with his sword in hand, heard a shout behind him. But when he turned around to look, he found that it was Neville who stopped him.

"Neville, are you—"

Just now Neville was not in Luna's ward, but went to another ward of his parents and grandma. But now when he saw the other party again, Harry saw a feeling from him that he wanted to walk with him.

Sure enough, in the next second, Neville resolutely said:

"Are you going to Sirius? Count me in!"

"Uh..." Harry hesitated, "So, what about Hannah?"

"I have already agreed with her that she will stay here and accompany my parents and grandma on my behalf; and I will replace them and drive all the dark wizards out of the British magic world!"...
