Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 195 Beyond the Curtain

Ethan finally came to the most mysterious area in the entire Ministry of Magic, the Department of Mysteries.

The accompanying Aurors were obviously visiting this place for the first time, and they looked around curiously.

After exiting the elevator, a very simple black door appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone walked forward and opened the door. Inside was a circular room.

Ethan discovered that everything here was black, the ceiling, floor, and door were all black and looked exactly the same.

The black doors without door numbers or handles were set apart from each other and embedded in the surrounding black walls.

Even the candles used in the Department of Mysteries are different from those in other areas of the Ministry of Magic.

The candles hanging on the black walls were burning with blue flames, and the cold candlelight shone on the cold marble floor, making the floor look like a deep black pool.

The blue candle flame was even cold. Ethan waved his hand over the candle flame and didn't feel any warmth.

Several people pushed the bed carrying little Barty Crouch and walked quietly in the corridor.

Everyone pushed the bed and walked on the smooth marble floor, and no sound could be heard.

There was no one in the corridor at the same time. It was extremely quiet, as if they were the only ones on the entire floor.

Several people stopped in front of a black door that was no different from other doors.

Ethan strode straight to the door and pushed it open.

Inside the door is a square room with a huge, deep depression in the middle.

Stone steps circled the entire house, descending gradually, each step as steep as a Ministry of Magic courtroom.

Unlike the courtroom, there is no chained chair or court at the bottom of the pit.

Instead, there was a raised stone platform, and an arch stood above the stone platform, which looked very old and dilapidated.

Ethan walked down the stone steps and soon reached the bottom of the stone pit, where the arch existed.

There were no walls around the arch to support it, and a tattered black curtain hung over the equally worn arch.

The air at the bottom of the stone pit is very cold. What is strange is that although there is no wind, the curtain is swaying gently, as if it has just been touched.

The Aurors who came with Ethan all stayed away from the curtain, fearing that they would fall in by accident.

Because everyone knows that this tattered-looking curtain is what the Ministry of Magic has always used to carry out executions.

This room is the Death Chamber of the Ministry of Magic.

Ethan looked at the curtain curiously. He carefully walked around behind the arch, but what he saw was the other side of the arch.

The tattered curtain was still floating automatically behind the arch in the windless way.

Ethan used his witcher senses to explore the curtain, only to feel a void, a void where nothing existed.

"I'm here, Ethan!" A voice suddenly came from the curtain, which startled Ethan.

Because this voice was very familiar to Ethan, it was Ciri's voice.

Ethan felt that this was really ridiculous, and there was no way Ciri could stay in the curtain anyway.

But at this moment, Ciri's voice really sounded from behind the curtain.

"Xili, are you in there? Are you talking?" Ethan asked loudly.

The sound echoed in the empty death chamber.

The Aurors who followed Ethan looked at each other in a panic. The current situation was very strange.

It seemed to them that Ethan suddenly started talking to himself about this terrible curtain.

Ethan didn't care about this at this time, all his attention was attracted by this curtain.

Shiri's voice in the curtain did not respond to Ethan, but began to whisper and whisper.

Although Ethan's witcher's sense of hearing was very sharp, he still didn't hear the voice in the curtain whispering something.

Ethan involuntarily took two steps forward, bringing himself closer to the curtain, trying to hear the whispers in the curtain more clearly.

Ethan, who was all focused on the curtain, didn't notice.

At this time, he looked very dangerous. The distance between him and the curtain was already quite close, and he could enter with just one step.

Ethan was already fascinated at this time, and Xili's voice seemed to be ringing in his ears, but he couldn't hear it clearly no matter how hard he tried.

Ethan suddenly had a strong impulse. He wanted to step into the curtain to find out and see if Ciri was hiding in the curtain.

Ethan slowly stretched out his hand and reached towards the curtain.

At this time, a pair of hands suddenly patted Ethan's shoulder, causing Ethan to wake up.

Ethan turned his head, and an Auror was looking at him worriedly.

To be honest, most people in the Ministry of Magic are a little afraid of Ethan now.

Now Ethan's reputation outside is already "terrible".

Whether it's the legend of "The Butcher of Knockturn Alley", or defeating the Dementors alone, or the recent rumors that Ethan did some terrible things to Barty Crouch Jr.

In short, most people in the Ministry of Magic are a little afraid of Ethan now.

Although Tonks and Mr. Weasley were already running around explaining to everyone that Ethan was a very good person.

But this didn't change anything, people were still afraid of Ethan.

In the eyes of these accompanying Aurors, something was wrong with Ethan as soon as he entered the death chamber.

He first became very curious about this terrible curtain, and he looked closer to the left and looked again.

Then he started to have a strange conversation with the curtain, and even finally wanted to get into the curtain.

At first, these Aurors did not intend to stop Ethan. They were afraid of disturbing Ethan and letting him deal with them the same way he dealt with Barty Crouch Jr.

However, when they saw Ethan actually trying to step into the curtain, they finally couldn't help it anymore.

After all, if Ethan died in the death chamber so suddenly, they would have no way of explaining it.

Ethan, who was woken up by the slap, was a little confused at first.

But when he saw the curtain very close to him, Ethan was horrified.

He realized that he seemed to be confused just now, and even almost walked into the curtain.

"Did you just hear someone speaking?" Ethan asked Auror.

The Auror gave Ethan a strange look.

"No one spoke just now, Mr. Ethan," the Auror replied carefully.

Ethan looked back at the tattered curtain again.

It is obvious that there is something special about this curtain, it can even bewitch people.

In particular, it can actually imitate Ciri's voice to confuse Ethan, which makes Ethan feel a little creepy.

This curtain probably has some magic spells that can confuse people. In short, this curtain is starting to make Ethan feel uncomfortable.

Ethan shuddered. He didn't want to stay here any longer. Now he needed to solve Barty Crouch Jr.'s matter as soon as possible.

Then leaving here as soon as possible is what Ethan wants to do most.

Ethan took a step away from the curtain and grabbed the invisibility cloak from Barty Crouch Jr.

The execution ceremony of Barty Crouch Jr. is about to begin.
