Harry walked up the steep stairs and passed through the dark corridor. The light in front of him grew brighter and brighter.
"Knox!" he whispered, extinguishing the light from his wand.
Harry leaned against the wall and peeked his head out. There was a spacious hall outside.
At the end of the corridor was a magnificent marble fireplace. The fire danced happily inside, but because it had been burning for a long time, the light was not very bright. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, and the dark purple walls were decorated with countless portraits. There were also gorgeous decorations and magic items of unknown use.
Harry had never seen so many things even at 12 Grimmauld Square.
There was not a single person in the hall. Even the portraits on the walls were empty, leaving only their frames.
The entire hall was filled with a strange silence and emptiness. The atmosphere was especially eerie.
It was as if everyone had left in an instant. This did not seem like a mansion of a Magus, but a terrifying place that had suddenly been abandoned.
It was only natural for such a scene to occur.
It was exactly as Harry remembered. This was where the Lord Voldemort had slaughtered everyone last night.
Although the corpses on the ground had been cleared away, the air was still filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Harry suddenly felt like vomiting when he thought of the corpses, but he forced himself to control himself.
He had witnessed the murder last night and knew that something terrible had happened here, but it was still terrifying to experience it himself.
Even the Death Eaters would not be able to get close to this hall in the near future!
After thinking this through, Harry entered the hall without hesitation and quickly walked towards the shelf beside the fireplace.
According to Dobby, that was where the secret room of Malfoy's manor was located. Many important things were kept there.
There was also a dungeon at the end of the secret room, where Ron was imprisoned.
However, Harry quickly stopped. Something on the huge long table in the middle of the hall had attracted his attention.
He walked towards it as if he was possessed. There was a huge drawing on the table.
The drawing was huge, and on it was the blueprint of a door.
It was the arched door of the Hall of Death of the Department of Occult Affairs of the Ministry of Magic!
Almost instantly, Harry recognized the door, although the door on the blueprint was different from the one Harry had seen in the Ministry of Magic.
In the Ministry of Magic, Harry saw that the arched door standing on the stone platform was very old and dilapidated.
For a moment, he was surprised that it could still stand there without falling.
Above the door hung a tattered black curtain or drapery.
Although there was no wind, it was gently swaying, as if someone had just touched it.
However, the door on the huge blueprint in front of Harry was not like that. It was much more complete than the door he saw in the Ministry of Magic. It seemed to be the original appearance of the door. There were many exquisite decorations on the arch, and the hanging curtain was also complete. On it was a strange pattern that Harry could not understand.
The pattern was hard to describe. It seemed to be some kind of creature, some kind of deformed and terrible monster.
The head of the creature, which Harry guessed was probably where the head should be, was a bit like a giant octopus, but it had a lot more tentacles. Below the head, it seemed to be a body. It was a fat body with a vague outline of a human, but the curve of the body was not like that of a human.
Soon, it seemed to extend on both sides, as if it was a pair of strange wings.
At the bottom of the body, where the feet should be, there were giant claws like those of the monster.
What the hell is this?!
If it was a creature, Harry had never seen such a creature before. Then, he suddenly remembered that Elwyn had said that this door seemed to be related to the evil god, which was why the Lord Voldemort and the Black Witch opened it. Could the monster on the curtain be the evil god?!
Harry had seen a part of the evil god in Azkaban, which was said to be the evil god's brain transformed by the despicable Helbo.
However, that thing was completely different from the monster in front of him, so he could not make any more judgments.
He stared at the monster on the wallpaper for a while, and a cold wind blew, and he could not help but shiver. Suddenly, as if it was affected by the cold wind, the curtain on the map also swayed gently, and it was exactly the same as the curtain hanging on the door of the Ministry of Magic. Harry blinked his eyes hard. It was not a wind at all. He clearly saw that the tentacles of the monster on the map were swaying, causing the curtain to sway.
This was really … too scary!
Staring at the picture of the monster, Harry felt like he was in a trance.
The monster was smiling at him. Although he could not even tell where the monster's mouth was, he had this feeling.
Harry hurriedly retracted his gaze and took two steps back. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Then, he noticed that on the map, there was a paragraph marked in bright red ink next to the curtain. It was a very complicated incantation.
Slowly and softly, Harry read it out.
"Death is not the end, the dead will not rest forever, and the wonderful Eternal Calamity does not end with death …"
The incantation did not end, but it seemed to have magic.
Just as Harry finished this sentence, there was a buzzing sound, and the center of the door on the map suddenly appeared with a white fluorescent light.
The arched door was opened!
Harry heard someone talking to him in his head. The voice seemed to be coming from inside the door, just like when he heard someone talking to him at the door of the Ministry of Magic. Although he could not hear the specific content of the words, Harry was attracted by it.
He walked to the side of the table, and slowly reached out his right hand towards the fluorescent light in the center of the arched door on the map …
His right hand touched the white fluorescent light, and the fluorescent light began to slowly revolve around the center of the arched door.
The fluorescent light gradually turned light green, and the stars shone. The center was like an endless universe.
The door on the map seemed to be connected to a different dimension, and a magical power was surging out from the arched door.
For a moment, Harry thought that something would come out from inside, something that would make one's hair stand on end. Great fear invaded him, but Harry quickly woke up. In the end, nothing happened. The arched door on the map was not a real thing, and it did not have that kind of magic. It was just drawn on it.
Perhaps the Black Witch used this method to show the arched door to the Lord Voldemort.
