Chapter 148: “Key To The Misty Land”

“It’s okay,” Sean shook his head and asked curiously, “Professor, do you know the purpose of my coming here?”This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

Dumbledore walked to him and sat down, “Newt told me. Coincidentally, I learned something at the Ministry of Magic. I guessed that you would probably come to me.”

“The Ministry of Magic?”

“Yes, Sean. Do you read the newspapers often?”

Sean nodded a little embarrassedly. He had been reading the Daily Prophet that Hermione ordered all the time. Sean was taken aback momentarily, thinking of the news he had seen before.

On the day they started school, the Ministry of Magic encountered robbers. But Minister Fudge has always refused to say what the stolen things were. Harry and his group almost missed the train because they encountered Aurors who were chasing the robbers.

“Professor, is it related to the stolen thing?”

Dumbledore nodded, “Yes, the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic has lost important items. It took me a lot of effort to pry some information out of Fudge’s mouth.”

“And that is?”

“A key, but I’m sure it’s a needle of some sort.”

Sean looked at him suspiciously. Dumbledore’s expression was a little serious, he looked up to the skylight, and there was not a single star tonight.

“Sean, when you were in the Muggle world. You should have heard a fairy tale before?” Dumbledore asked without thinking.

“Yes, Professor. I have thought about it many times since I entered Hogwarts. There seem to be many wizards in those fairy tales.” Although he didn’t know why Dumbledore asked this, Sean quickly answered.

The liquid inside flowed out slowly, and soon, a drop of water dripped from the hole.

Sean immediately understood what Dumbledore meant. He looked up at Dumbledore and gulped, “Professor, so the souls...”

“Yes,” Dumbledore nodded with a serious expression, “Although it is only a small gap, a few souls have already escaped, reappeared as ghosts, and gained some ability.”

“Like that Horned Serpent?”

“Yes.”

Sean asked, “There shouldn’t be more than one of them, right? Besides, these souls have become ghosts again. But what is their goal?”

“That’s what I’m currently investigating,” Dumbledore adjusted his glasses, “The souls become ghosts again, and they will work hard to fulfill their uncompleted wishes in life. That Horned Serpent may be kind, but other souls may not be.”

His voice was solemn, “The mysterious person who stole the thing has already made a move. He will use other ghosts that we have not yet known to accomplish his goal.”

“What does he want?” Sean asked.

Dumbledore looked at Sean, “The only thing I can think of is the prophecy.”

Sean took a few deep breaths. This unknown prophecy was the key to everything, and he didn’t understand why Daisy would be involved.

He originally thought that the accidents in Godric’s Hollow and the Forbidden Forest were all aimed at him, but now it seems that he just encountered them by mistake, and the real target was probably Daisy.

“Professor,” Sean’s tone is different now than before, “Can you tell me about this prophecy?”

Dumbledore stood up slowly, “I guess it’s time...”
