Chapter 312 Innate and Incomprehensible Magic
"Department of Mysteries?" Hermione tilted her head and looked at Andy with a puzzled look, hoping that Andy could explain it to her.
As a little witch who had just entered the second grade, Hermione didn't know much about the various departments of the Ministry of Magic.
"The Department of Mysteries is a department of the Ministry of Magic."
Andy explained: "No one has ever known what the employees of the Department of Mysteries are doing. Their tasks are top secret, and the employees who work there are called Unspeakables."
At this point, Andy suddenly spread his hands, "As for more information... Unfortunately, I don't know."
The little witch nodded in confusion.
"I do know something."
Mrs. Bagshot explained: "Wizards have never stopped pursuing magic. Some wizards have discovered that there is a kind of innate magic, and its existence is obviously difficult to understand, or even more difficult..."
"And the job of the Unspeakables is to study and experiment with these mysterious powers."
Andy raised his eyebrows.
To be honest, if the Unspeakables' job did not require signing a confidential magic contract, this job would really suit Andy.
A kind of innate and incomprehensible magic...?
If Andy were to say, this incomprehensible magical ability is probably time, space, destiny, concepts, etc., which sounds very high-sounding.
But according to the main theme of the Harry Potter world, that is, Dumbledore's statement, this energy is... love!
Or perhaps "love" is just one of them.
As a research department of the Ministry of Magic, the Department of Mysteries obviously cannot have only one research direction. And when Mrs. Bagshot explained, she also used words like "these".
Hermione asked bluntly: "Mrs. Bagshot, what exactly is the mysterious power you are talking about?"
"That's a lot!"
Mrs. Bagshot's hoarse voice slowly sounded, "Death, time, prophecy, space... There are too many unsolved mysteries in this world. We may not be able to peek into one ten-thousandth of them in our lifetime."
Hermione glanced at Andy and teased: "Andy, it sounds like the Department of Mysteries is indeed suitable for you."
Haha!
Andy ignored Hermione and asked a new question, "Madam, is there a bigger secret hidden under the Ministry of Magic?"
"Or to put it another way, is the location of the Ministry of Magic also an ancient magical relic?"
Mrs. Bagshot looked at Andy fiercely, and there seemed to be a strange meaning in her cloudy eyes. She said, "I haven't seen a little wizard as sharp as you for a long time."
Mrs. Bagshot's words undoubtedly confirmed Andy's guess.
To be honest, Dumbledore is a wizard standing at the ceiling of the magic world, but can he study magic in the fields of death, time, prophecy, and space?
Andy thinks it's unlikely!
As for the ancient wizards...
Andy can't guess their strength, but if they can't break through the shackles of "human beings", Andy doesn't think anyone can touch these powers with human bodies.
Gods?
Andy raised his eyebrows and temporarily suppressed these thoughts.
Although many doubts and clues point to the fact that the history of the magic world has been artificially altered, these are still just Andy's speculations without any evidence.
Without evidence, no matter how many doubts there are, the facts cannot be proved.
Andy continued to ask: "Madam, are those relics... related to the gods?"
Mrs. Bagshot glanced at Andy and did not directly answer Andy's question, "It's not just you, Andy. Many wizards have chased the traces of gods when they were young, even your headmaster Albus Dumbledore."
"But they all gave up in the end!"
Andy and Hermione looked at each other after hearing this.
Hermione asked in disbelief: "Give up? Why give up?"
In Hermione's view, deciphering these hidden secrets is an interesting and meaningful thing.
Mrs. Bagshot asked lightly: "If one day, you see the real God, what do you want to do?"
See the real God?
Andy was thoughtful, and suddenly said: "Madam, I think I understand what you mean."
Hermione looked at Andy in confusion: "?"
"Hermione, if a person...if a Muggle saw the dragon described in the book, he thought the dragon was majestic and powerful, and even became obsessed with it."
Andy smiled and asked: "But one day, he saw a real dragon, what do you think he would do?"
Andy didn't dare to use the word "people" as a metaphor, but directly used the word "Muggle".
It's not that Andy looked down on Muggles, but Andy remembered the treatment of dragons in the magic world-they were kept in captivity by wizards like piglets.
Especially Hagrid, the half-giant.
He was obsessed with dragons, and he even hatched a little dragon himself and tried to be its mother.
Dragons really don't have much face in front of wizards.
In response to Andy's question, Hermione blurted out: "He will be very scared and may even be eaten by a dragon."
"Okay! Andy, I understand what you mean."
"Gods may be synonymous with beauty and power in myths and legends, but those are actually just human fantasies. When they encounter difficulties, they hope that gods can help them."
"In other words, it is a fictional god imagined by humans."
"But the real gods may just be some lives that are more powerful and advanced than us."
Mrs. Bagshot smiled faintly and said, "Little girl, you are also very insightful."
"Thank you, Mrs. Bagshot." Hermione responded quickly.
Andy pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe the gods are not as we imagined, um... beautiful? But I think I may not give up chasing the gods."
"But I don't need them to give me anything. I just want to prove that they once existed, and then study their life state and decipher the secret of their power."
Just like deciphering the secret of Voldemort.
Hermione nodded and said seriously, "I don't need the gods to give me anything, but if you can prove that they once existed... Andy, remember to count me in."
Andy glanced at Hermione and smiled.
Mrs. Bagshot was a little surprised. She looked at Andy and asked, "Oh? Don't you want eternal life or powerful power?"
She thought Andy was chasing these because he wanted to get powerful power like her nephew.
"Yeah... of course I do!"
Andy didn't hide it, because everyone's purpose of pursuing gods is roughly the same, power, immortality, or to achieve some wishes that cannot be achieved by one's own strength.
"But I won't borrow the power of gods."
