The light came from a towering bell-shaped crystal glass dome at the end of the hall. It was as tall as a man and stood on a table. It seemed to be filled with a churning, sparkling air current.

Inside the glass cover, there was a small, jewel-like bright egg floating up and down.

When the glass cover was raised, the egg cracked open, and a hummingbird popped out and rose straight to the top of the glass cover.

But as the airflow falls, the hummingbird's feathers will be stained and wet, until they fall to the bottom of the glass cover and be trapped in the egg again.

Repeatedly like this, it represents the flow of time……

"This is a symbol of the Hall of Time and an advanced alchemical artifact. Its power can allow a person to experience the same thing over and over again for a period of time."Xia En explained as he picked up a few good-looking hourglasses from the wall and put them into his pocket.

"There is nothing to see here. According to the memories of the two silent men, the Time Hall leads to the office of the Department of Mysteries. Let's go and take a look!"

"office?!"Hermione frowned when she heard these three words. Suddenly she seemed to remember something and asked curiously,"Speaking of which, we have been here for so long, but we haven't seen anyone from the Department of Mysteries here. ?!

"There are very few silent people working in the Department of Mysteries. They often like to go to some weird places in order to study mysteries. Going out is their daily routine! But the most important thing is that this time period is quite special, they all went to have afternoon tea!"Shane said as he opened a secret door with a smile.

Hermione looked at him with black lines on her head, really... this guy is still in the mood to joke in such a weird place!

After passing through the secret door, The two came to a strange office...

The place was dark and messy, surrounded by gray stone walls.

The office was very small, not even half the size of a classroom in Hogwarts, and there was only one room. A table and a bookshelf were placed in the middle, and there was nothing on them!

"Are you sure this is the office of the Department of Mysteries?! Hermione looked at Shane with doubts in her eyes,"Why do I feel like this is more like an abandoned library?""

"Hiss~~It’s strange!"Xia En also scratched his head in confusion at this time,"This is different from what I saw in the memories of those two people!"

In the memories of the two silent men, the office of the Department of Mysteries should be a very spacious room.

There are at least a dozen desks, which are filled with messy files and research materials, and are surrounded by walls. The tall bookshelves in the room were also filled with all kinds of ancient books and scrolls.

Hermione curiously came to the only table in the room and looked down. She saw that the entire table was perfectly fitted together. Although there are cabinet handles, they are just decoration. They look like they were directly hewn from a single piece of wood.

"Shane, come and take a look!"Hermione had an intuition that there might be something wrong with the table in front of her, so she wanted to ask Shane to come over and have a look.

But after waiting for a while, she didn't hear any response.……

"Xia...huh?!"

So Hermione turned her head in confusion, and suddenly found that Shane, who was standing behind her just now, suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the secret door from the Time Hall also disappeared, and she was the only one left in the whole room.

"Shane, stop playing! Come out quickly!"Hermione subconsciously thought that Shane was scaring her, but after waiting for a while, she didn't hear any response, so she started to get a little scared. Because although Shane sometimes likes to joke with her and tease her, he is a A person who knows the importance of things in this regard would never disappear for such a long time just for fun!

Hermione took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She took out her wand to be prepared, and then started to look for Shane suddenly. The secret of the disappearance.

Something must have happened at that moment. Xia En is very powerful. The magic of this weird office should not have any effect on him. Then the problem can only be with himself.

"Was it transferred to another dimension?"Hermione guessed.

She guessed that it was probably because she had inadvertently triggered some mechanism after leaving Shane just now, which caused her and Shane to separate.

So, after thinking for a while...

Hermione stepped back She picked up the position where she had just started, and then began to carefully follow the original route step by step and walked to the table again.

There was no movement. During the short journey just now, she had been carefully observing everything around her. She even made a mark every step she took.

But it was obvious that the red mark was very eye-catching and she did not move to other spaces.

Seeing this, Hermione tried again a few times. Twice she even closed her eyes and deliberately ignored it. The surrounding environment, but the result is still the same.

Therefore, now either her guess is wrong, or the way she triggered the mechanism is wrong.

So, Hermione began to think hard again, trying to find possible mechanisms around the room.

But finding After a while, she found that there was nothing in the strange room in front of her except the table and the empty bookshelf. Finally, more than an hour later, Hermione sat tiredly on the broken bookshelf that had been pushed down. After more than an hour

, Hermione

As a child, she found nothing. For the first time, she felt like a stupid fool! She usually read so many books, but now she didn’t have any knowledge that could be put to use in her brain!

So now she could only choose to wait, wait. Shane came to find her! (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

She believed that with Shane's ability, he would definitely be able to find her!

Sure enough, half an hour later, Hermione was getting more and more irritable. , a ripple suddenly appeared in the empty room, and a foot stepped out of the void

"Phew~~Finally found you!"Xia En walked out of the void and said with a scared look on his face,"Hermione, you really made me worried for a while!"

When Hermione saw Xia En's arrival, she breathed a sigh of relief, and gradually let go of her uneasiness.

Then she pretended to be angry at Xia En:"Why are you here?! Do you know how long I have been waiting here?!"

"Sorry, the spatial structure of the Department of Mysteries is really too complicated. It took me a long time to find out the operating rules of some magical institutions!"Xia En scratched his head in embarrassment, and then explained

"Yeah……"Hermione frowned. She didn't know why. She always felt that it was a bit strange to see Shane in front of her.

"What’s wrong with you? Why are you still looking sad after being saved?!"Xia En looked at her doubtfully, and then took out a piece of chocolate,"Come on, eat something first, you may be starved after waiting for so long!"

"Thanks!"Hermione took the chocolate. After staying here for so long, she was indeed a little hungry. She opened her mouth and bit into a small piece, and the familiar sweet cocoa smell instantly penetrated her nasal cavity. The bad mood caused by being trapped for a long time instantly improved a lot.

The chocolates made by Shane were as delicious as ever!

She finished the chocolates in her hands quickly and happily. Hermione raised her head a little arrogantly and said:"For the sake of your chocolate, I will forgive you this time!""

"Okay~~Thank you lovely Hermione for forgiving me!"Shane smiled, and then reached out and pinched Hermione's cheek lovingly.

Hermione's face turned red, and something strange arose in her heart. She patted Shaan's hand with a bit of shame and anger and said:" Let's keep going, I want to see what's in this Department of Mysteries!"

"No, that’s it for today!"Shane shook his head and rejected Hermione's proposal,"It's too late today, some Silent People are back, let's wait until we find a chance to come back next time!"

"Oh well!"Hermione nodded with regret.

Immediately, the two returned to Hogwarts through space magic.

However, before leaving, Hermione glanced thoughtfully at the bookshelf behind her that had been pushed down by her. She always felt like something was wrong, but she just didn't know why she couldn't explain it!

"Hermione, what's wrong with you?!"At this time, Shane saw Hermione's thoughtful look and asked with a worried look,"You have been in a daze since just now. Did you encounter something in the room just now?"As she said that, she wanted to check Hermione's body.

Hermione immediately blushed and stopped her. She held down Shane's hand and said,"Don't worry, I'm fine! I just stayed in that room for too long, and I felt a little dazed!"

"Um...is that so?!"Shane frowned and said,"Would you like me to take you to Madam Pomfrey's place to have a look?"

"They all said no, I’ll just take a nap!"Hermione quickly waved her hands and refused.

"Okay, let's go back!"Xia En took Hermione's hand and quickly returned to the Goblin's Home.

"Hermione, you go and take a rest first. I want to go to Professor Dumbledore to talk about something first! Xia En said with a smile,"Let's have dinner together tonight, and I'll cook it myself!""

"Cooking yourself?!"Hermione was surprised and delighted when she heard the news,"You said before that you hate trouble the most, that's why you leave the food to Kelulu, but today you actually want to cook it yourself for the first time?!"

"Haha, I did say that I was afraid of trouble! But I have never said that I hate cooking. It’s nice to cook every once in a while!"Xia En smiled and touched Hermione's head and said,"Tonight, just think of it as compensation for not rescuing you from that room in time!"

"You go and rest first. I'll be back from Professor Dumbledore soon. I'll call you after I've finished cooking!"

After saying that, he disappeared in an instant. It seemed that he was going to Dumbledore's place... No...
