Chapter 571: Chapter 571: Andy: I am surrounded by Death Eaters
"Andy, there are twelve doors here; they all look the same... which door should we enter first?" Harry stood in the centre of the circular room, studying everything around him.
He felt a creepy vibe throughout the place.
It exuded a mysterious vibe and gave him a feeling of oppression.
Andy walked around the room once but couldn't find any signs, which made Andy feel a little uneasy.
This shouldn't be the case!
According to Andy's plan, once the battle was over, he would find an opportunity to use the Time Turner and explore the Department of Mysteries while hiding his identity.
In the process, the future Andy would leave some clues for the present Andy.
These clues would include information about the battle and other intelligence.
Even if they couldn't be explicitly pointed out, Andy would be more confident about the upcoming battle as long as there was even the slightest hint.
But there was nothing!
Andy searched for a while but found nothing.
Future Andy is the future of Andy at this moment.
He definitely wouldn't forget these things!
'Did something happen to my future self?'
Andy felt a little scared.
'No way...'
'Dead? I don't think so...'
'Was he seriously injured? Or maybe he got caught up in some trouble and couldn't get away?'
Andy thought of many possibilities, but due to the lack of crucial information, he had no idea about the future at the moment.
'No!'
Andy suddenly thought of something.
'Everything I'm experiencing now, the future 'me' should have experienced it all. He can think of everything I can think of.'
However, even so... there was still no clue.
Nothing!
'Maybe...not finding a clue is the best clue of all,' Andy thought to himself.
"Andy?"
A voice interrupted Andy's thoughts.
Andy turned around.
Harry said helplessly, "Which door should we enter first? And...what were you thinking about just now?"
"Nothing..."
Andy responded, then said, "I don't know. Let's try one by one; we'll find it."
With that, Andy opened the door at random.
"Let's start with this door! Harry, let's go!"
Hearing these words, Harry shrugged, a little helpless, but he had no choice but to follow Andy.
"Looks like we're in luck!"
Walking into the room, the first thing that caught his eye was a row of towering shelves, filled with grey glass orbs, each with a yellowed label stuck underneath.
Some of the orbs emitted a mysterious glow, while others were a little blurry and dark as if the light had been extinguished.
At the ends of the shelves, there were candlesticks with eerie blue flames.
Harry looked at everything in front of him in a daze, and a sense of despair crept up in his heart. "Andy, do we have to look for them one by one?"
At a glance, there were at least hundreds of shelves here.
If they looked for it one by one, Harry estimated that they would have to look for at least three days.
"Well…that's your prophecy orb!"
Andy thought for a while and said, "Try to sense it with your gut; maybe you can sense something."
"That sounds a bit far-fetched, Andy," Harry commented, but he still followed Andy's advice and closed his eyes and started to sense.
"I can feel something...like a whisper," Harry said, and he took the lead and walked in a certain direction.
Andy hurriedly followed.
Following his intuition, the two found the prophecy orb about Harry at the end of the 97th row, a little bit inside.
"This is it!"
Harry said, reaching out and taking the prophecy orb off the shelf.
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches..."
Just as Harry picked up the prophecy orb, he suddenly heard a voice. The voice was a little familiar, but for the moment he couldn't remember whose voice it was.
But he knew the prophecy!
It was because of this prophecy that Voldemort killed his parents.
"Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies..."
The voice continued.
"And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not..."
"And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives..."
Hearing these words, Harry was momentarily lost in thought.
However, from Andy's point of view, what was happening in front of him was a different picture.
After Harry picked up the prophecy orb, he seemed to have his soul sucked out of him, standing there motionless, as if he had lost his soul.
Andy couldn't hear the prophecy.
However, Andy knew that Harry could hear it.
"You guys came at the right time..." While saying this, Andy quickly raised his wand and looked to the side.
In the aisle between the shelves, a masked Death Eater appeared silently.
Andy looked behind him, and there was someone there too.
Front, back, left, and right, there were four Death Eaters in the four aisles.
They were surrounded!
"Where's Black?" Andy asked indifferently.
Hearing Andy's voice, Harry also snapped back to reality. He hurriedly ran to Andy's side and looked at the Death Eaters, shouting angrily, "Where is Sirius? What have you done to him?"
"Hee hee...you mean Sirius?"
A middle-aged witch in black leather clothing walked over leisurely, carrying a defenceless Sirius in one hand.
Unlike the others, this witch did not wear the Death Eater's exclusive mask and showed her true face.
She walked up to a Death Eater, pointed her wand at Sirius's head, and looked at Harry playfully, saying, "Bring the prophecy orb over here."
'Five of them...' Andy thought silently.
Thinking of this, Andy whispered, "Harry, first confirm Sirius's identity."
"Hm!"
Harry nodded, then asked loudly, "Sirius, do you remember where we first met?"
Sirius had his eyes shut and looked as if he had fainted.
"He can't answer you now!"
The middle-aged witch snorted, her face showing a hint of relish, as she laughed mockingly, "We entertained him for a while with the Cruciatus Curse... At first, he still had the strength to curse angrily. But soon... he could only beg us to kill him."
"Kill me! Please...kill me!"
The middle-aged witch put on a show and then said mockingly, "But we were merciful and let him hang on to his last breath."
Harry became furious on hearing this, "Bastard!"
Andy looked at Sirius for a while and found that he was indeed the real person, and he did look as if he had been tortured by the Cruciatus Curse.
As for whether he is under the Imperius Curse or whether his memory has been altered... that could only be confirmed after he has been rescued.
Since he is the real person, the next step is much easier.
Just as Andy was about to take action, another Death Eater walked over, similarly dragging someone behind him.
