Chapter 149: Invisibility Cloak
"So..." Iger narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the man in front of him: "What the heck is a silent man?"
"Learn about mysterious existences, explore terrifying existences, and keep silent about human inquiries..." John said in a low voice: "Wandering in the dark, wandering between life and death, existing in the past and the future, exploring the world The true meaning of it, that's the job of our silent people."
"I don't know why..." Iger looked at John suspiciously: "So, what do you have to do with me?"
"We want you to be a silent man." John's voice was flat, neither arrogant nor humble, as if you were willing to do what you wanted, and let it go if you didn't want to.
"Can I ask what exactly you are doing?" Iger looked at the man suspiciously.
"Capturing fugitives who disturb time, catching fugitives who cross space, correcting the disordered time process, and researching some things, what you see, what you can't see..." John gave a general description.
"Can I... refuse?" Iger looked at the man hesitantly.
It wasn't that he was cowardly, but that what the other party said was too lofty, which made him a little clueless.
"Okay." John's voice remained flat.
"No consequences?" Iger asked tentatively.
"No." John's face was blurred under his hood.
"Is there any benefit to joining you?" Iger looked at John with a puzzled look on his chin.
"A large time-turner, an invisibility cloak," John replied.
very tempting...
Iger squinted his eyes, he has money, money can buy a lot of things, but he can't buy the two things the other party said.
Some things cannot be bought with money.
"Can I ask why you invited me?" Iger asked curiously.
"Because you're strong," John said honestly, "and we need the property that the devil can learn any form of magic."
"Wait, listen to what you mean, have you seen other devils? Have you done research?" Iger was a little surprised.
"We can travel to and from past times and other spaces." John didn't say much, but the meaning was obvious.
"What about work? What do you do with work?" Iger asked.
"Listen to the assignment, but, not busy." John seemed to be very reluctant to talk.
"I'll join!" Iger nodded, the other party's words sounded very good.
"You join?" John was stunned for a while, then reached out and handed over a box: "Here is a time changer and an invisibility cloak, the same as your classmate's invisibility cloak."
Iger was stunned, he knew who the other party was talking about, it was Harry.
"Same as that one?" Iger was a little surprised: "I thought it was made of invisible animal skin..."
"That one is also, but the craftsmanship is higher, and there will be no magic failure." John nodded: "We need an invisibility cloak to travel to and from the world of the dead."
"The world of the dead?" Iger's eyes widened: "You...can you see the dead?"
"Yes, if necessary, we will go to the world of the dead and ask some questions for those who haven't traveled far." John didn't say much, but the answer was vague.
"Can I go take a look?" Iger looked at John expectantly.
"There will be opportunities in the future." John did not refuse, but did not agree immediately: "Before using the time converter, go to the Department of Mysteries to report to us, and set your own time coordinates and the limit of the time converter. Fifty years, beyond this limit is not the time period we are responsible for."
"Listen to what you mean, do we have colleagues at other times?" Iger was stunned.
"That's right." John nodded, turned and disappeared, it seemed that Iger couldn't stand so many problems.
After confirming that there was no curse on the box, Iger returned to Hogwarts with the box, put away the box and went all the way to the headmaster's room.
"Professor Dumbledore?" Iger shouted as soon as he entered the principal's room.
"What's the matter, child?" Dumbledore walked down from the bedroom above the principal's room and looked at Iger in surprise with a plate of tiramisu.
"Do you know The Silent Man?" Iger looked up at Dumbledore.
"Ah... if you're talking about the people at the Department of Mysteries, I know a little bit." Dumbledore nodded: "I used to... I mean once... After my sister died... I went to the Department of Mysteries, hoping to be able to Ask for a time-turner to reverse the past..."
"Then what?" Iger looked at Dumbledore curiously.
"A silent man listened to my request and took me back to the past, and then I failed..." Dumbledore nodded leisurely: "The second time I watched my sister die in front of my eyes, to be honest , the pain doubled in my heart again..."
Iger: "..."
"I've been in awe of them since then, and I just realized that what happened, you can't stop it no matter how you adjust the time." Dumbledore nodded: "This makes me cherish everything around me even more. "
Iger was stunned: "So, there is no way to change some things through time backtracking, right?"
"No, it can be changed." Dumbledore shook his head: "But what has changed is what has already happened. It's complicated to say..."
"Okay, I probably understand." Iger nodded, meaning that it should be like the rescue of Buckbeak and Sirius in the original book. The outcome of things may not go as he wants, but things have already changed.
"Why did I suddenly think of asking this?" Dumbledore looked at Iger and smiled: "Let me guess... They came to you?"
"How do you know." Iger was stunned.
"You asked me about the child..." Dumbledore laughed. "And, they do always invite some powerful wizards to join them, so... you agree?"
"I really can't think of any reason to refuse." Iger spread his hands.
"Yeah, I also think you will agree. In fact, I was a little tempted at the beginning." Dumbledore said cheerfully.
"They invited you?" Iger was a little surprised.
"Of course, my friends and I have been invited by the Silent People..." Dumbledore's eyes flashed with a flash of nostalgia: "But unfortunately, the ambitions of the two of us were not in that regard at the time, so we both rejected them."
"Grindelwald?" Iger asked tentatively.
"Ah, yes, it's him." Dumbledore nodded.
"What exactly do they do?" Iger looked at Dumbledore curiously.
"What I know is... to maintain the order of time, to guard our space, to tap human potential, and to explore death." Dumbledore spread his hands: "And the most important research topic is... love."
"Love?" Iger opened his mouth.
"Yes... that is a very hot, strong, and powerful force, and at the same time, it is also a kind of magic that we are born with." Dumbledore murmured to himself with distant eyes.
"But more, I don't understand." Dumbledore shook his head slightly.
"Okay..." Iger nodded.
"Your best magic should be Apparition, right?" Dumbledore looked at Iger and asked.
"Is there any problem?" Iger was stunned when he heard the words.
"Apparition is a spell invented by the Department of Mysteries," Dumbledore said.
Iger was at a loss for a while: "But Apparition should have..."
"More than a thousand years of history, yes, I know." Dumbledore's eyes were deep, and he looked at Iger through the half-moon lens: "The Department of Mysteries has existed for much longer than the Ministry of Magic. Rather, the Ministry of Magic is the Built around the Department of Mysteries."
"In the past, there was a saying among wizards that if you want to know the secrets of this world, then you should go to the Department of Mysteries." Dumbledore stared at Iger: "Because of my status and status, I am very interested in them. There is some in-depth knowledge, even Fudge as Minister of Magic doesn't know as much about them as I know about them, but even so, I know very little about their exact information."
Iger left, the headmaster was strong, and Dumbledore continued to eat the tiramisu.
"Silent people..." Slytherin muttered to himself thoughtfully: "Speaking of which, someone invited us back then."
"Invite you?" Dumbledore smiled.
"Well, to be precise, it should be to invite Rowena. When we were young, Godric and I were indeed not as glamorous and famous as Rowena..." Slytherin coughed a little embarrassedly: "Godric Back then, he was most famous for being a dueling lunatic, even Muggles knew his name, and I was just a young master at the time, and Helga ran a restaurant..."
"Didn't you invite you later?" Phineas looked at the first dean of his own academy with admiration.
"It disappeared later, but when I touched time magic once... those people came to me, hoping I could stop the experiment." Slytherin frowned: "That group of people, really Strong, and for magic... to be honest, the magic I mastered at that time was like playing a family to them."
"So strong?" Phineas continued to tout.
"No, it's not that they are strong." Dumbledore shook his head slightly: "The magic of that era a thousand years ago was neither as profound as ancient magic nor as changeable as modern magic. The four giants of Hogwarts, not because of how strong they are, but because of their contribution to the development of the wizarding world, it cannot be compared like this."
"Time is controlled by them, space is controlled by them, vertical and horizontal development, I think, so far, all magic, ancient, modern, and even future, should be in their hands. ." Dumbledore said softly: "Fortunately, there is no Voldemort among them."
"Then why didn't they go back and kill him?" Phineas was a little furious, he hated Dumbledore and prevented him from flattering.
"The most basic quality of mastering time is not to change the direction of the development of things, unless there are extremely serious consequences, they will intervene." Dumbledore spread his hands: "As for who rules the magic world, the Ministry of Magic is They don't care who is in power."
...
Back in the bedroom, Iger looked at the box in front of him and fell into contemplation.
As long as the box is opened, he can go back to the past and check his own background.
Do you want to go back and have a look?
This is a problem…
Open the box, and in the box is a pocket watch-style pendant with a card next to it.
'The outermost circle, a circle for a year, the second circle, a circle for a month, the third circle, a day for a circle, and the inner circle for an hour.
To use, turn the corresponding circle, go back to the past counterclockwise, and explore the future clockwise.
Note: If it is damaged during use, please go to the Department of Mysteries of the corresponding era immediately. ’
Below the time switch, there is a silk-like cloth. I picked up the cloth and draped it over my body. Iger found that it was a complete large cloak. After covering it, I looked at the mirror, and Iger found that his body had disappeared.
Hanging the time converter around his neck, Iger excitedly put on a robe and went out of the door.
Don't worry about how to use these things in the future, just play for a while before talking about it.
Simple-minded people are so happy...
As soon as he entered the lounge, Iger saw the cats in the room who were warming themselves up, turning their heads and looking straight in his direction.
Crookshanks came and circled around Iger twice, and his little nose sniffed: "Little master?"
"How did you find out, meow?" Egger immediately took off the hood above his head.
"It's just that I can feel that there is something here, and you have a unique smell on your body, which I always remember, little master." Crookshanks raised his head with pride.
"The cat's nose is so good..." Iger muttered, pulling up the hood and disappearing again.
Walking silently in the castle, Iger looked around with a very curious mood. From time to time, he walked around in an open classroom and waved his hands excitedly in front of the students listening to the class.
From time to time, play tricks on a girl who listens carefully to the class, wrap her hair on the stool, and watch the girl turn around and give the boy behind her a brainstorm...
Maybe I can go for a walk in the women's toilet?
Iger suddenly had a dangerous thought.
After thinking about it, Iger thinks it's better to forget it, it sounds weird.
If you have a chance, you can ask Harry if he has ever visited the women's toilet with the invisibility cloak.
If he hadn't been there, Iger wasn't going to go either.
If he goes... Iger feels that he should express a strong condemnation and let him identify the scene with himself...
All the way to the herbal class greenhouse, Iger looked at Harry and laughed wickedly.
He tiptoed behind Harry, just as Ron happened to pass by behind Harry, Iger casually slapped Harry provocatively on Harry's buttocks, and Harry turned his head with a frown.
"What are you doing?" Harry looked at Ron suspiciously.
"What's wrong?" Ron looked blank.
Iger bit his nails and grinned silently What the hell..." Harry muttered and turned around, changing the soil for the poisonous tentacle in front of him, and occasionally avoiding the poisonous tentacle's long teeth tentacles.
Ron looked at Harry suspiciously, then turned around and started doing his own thing.
Seeing Harry turn around, Iger patted Harry's **** again, and then collapsed to the ground with a silent laugh.
"Ron!" Harry exclaimed in exasperation, turning his head.
"What's the matter, man?" Ron turned his head innocently: "Why are you so angry today?"
"Why are you slapping my ass?" Harry asked in a low voice.
Hermione on the side burst into laughter when she heard the words, and then glanced at Ron strangely.
"When did I pat your ass?" Ron was suddenly unhappy.
