The light from the artificial sun and the stars descend on the entrance hall, illuminating the place.
After reaching the Emotion Room, Eliza held the golden doorknob. She said in a solemn tone, "This room will stimulate and transform into many different environments and will ignite a myriad of emotions in us based on it."
"You know, some rituals needed to be carried out at a specific time and specific place. Because different emotions will be aroused in different environments, in some rituals, potions will be used to heighten or calm certain emotions."
"Hm, for example-"
Eliza opened the door, revealing the darkness within.
Andy looked inside curiously with Grindelwald.
The room was pitch black, with nothing but darkness and silence.
Eliza held her wand inside and continued, "In the darkness, some will feel fear, some will feel peace and tranquillity, some will hallucinate, and some will go mad with many voices talking inside their head."
"It will be based on our experience, surrounding environment, imagination, noises and so on. Like getting lost in a dark forest, inside a cave with a water-dripping sound, in the dark corner of your room."
"The Emotion Room is capable of stimulating many different environments and sensory specifications. We use this room to study human emotion, the emotions required in rituals, and how those emotions affect the completion of rituals and magic."
With the nudge of her wand, the room lit up, and the trio entered.
Andy looked at the white room; it looked like a room written in many isekai and reincarnation novels.
It is fully white and seems to have no borders, ceiling or floor.
But since they are standing in one, it shows they are still in a room with limited space, but due to the lack of other colours, they are having an illusion of standing in a borderless vast white space.
Looking at the room, Andy had a feeling that a strange, white-bearded black man (Morgan Freeman) would suddenly pop in before him, introducing himself as a God.
Shaking his head and throwing these weird thoughts away, Andy listened to Eliza introduce the room.
"-It has a black room, a room of darkness; a white room, a room of light; a brown room, a room where you will be buried below your head under the earth; a blue room, where you will be holding your breath underwater or submerged in ice water; a silver room, where you will be standing under a different cycle of the moon in grassland or other environments; and a gold room, where you will be standing under the different cycle of the sun in various available environments."
As she talked, the scenes and environments quickly shifted and finally settled on the white room.
Andy asked her to switch to different settings one by one and perceived the change in his emotions and fluctuations of magic in different environments and settings, quickly recording them in his memory.
After that, the trio left the room under Eliza's lead and headed to the last room they would be visiting tonight.
***
In the planetary entrance hall, Eliza led them toward the only available golden doorknob.
"Mr Grindelwald, how far had the preparation for Voldemort's resurrection ritual been made?" On the way, Andy asked in a whisper.
Since the major reason for his trip to Germany is about to be complete, he has also found a proper, feasible method for the fusion of body and mind (True Soul). Andy felt the urge to go back and meet Hermione, Isabel and his family.
If not for the fact that Grindelwald is preparing the ritual because he asked and his slight curiosity, he would have gone back with a pop, with alchemical trinkets he made during practice as a gift after buying some German sweets and specialities.
He really misses them.
Grindelwald gave Andy a side-eye and answered, "We found two criminals from two different groups who met the requirement for the ritual and had them kill each other and let the one who survived create the Horcrux. Now, they must be preparing the ingredients; in a day or two we can begin."
"Why, are you bored of being here?"
"No, I just miss my sister and Her-Hermione." Andy scratched his face and said.
Grindelwald smiled and gave him a teasing look, making Andy feel like burying his head in the ground like an ostrich.
'Youth.' Looking at Andy's face, Grindelwald reminisced about his short but happy time in Godric's Hollow.
A piece of golden memory he cherishes and will never forget.
Just as he was lost in his memories, Eliza stopped and said, opening the door, "We are here. This is a room where we study time and record prophecies."
Andy followed behind Eliza and entered the last room with Grindelwald.
And looked at the room with wide eyes.
Inside, the room was mounted, placed and arranged with mirrors and glasses of all sizes everywhere – on the ceiling and walls – except the floor, along with clocks in various shapes mounted sparsely in the few gaps between mirrors.
But none of the mirrors reflected their images; they seemed to have been enchanted.
All the mirrors made him feel like he was inside a giant kaleidoscope, with different scenes of people, creatures and places showing on the mirrors instead of colours.
Although the faces of most seem blurry.
At the centre of the room, a big sand timepiece was standing tall, with golden sand dropping without decreasing the sand at the top half and increasing the sand at the bottom part.
Dozens of small timepieces that looked like Time Turners floated and revolved around the big timepiece, like a moon.
Seeing Andy and Grindelwald's expressions, Eliza pointed her wand at the mirrors and said in a high tone. "The mirrors in the walls will show the true histories that you know."
"If the history you know is false or a large chunk fabricated and modified, you won't see those histories here."
"The mirrors in the ceiling will show the recently uttered prophecies-"
"What about the old prophecies, ma'am?" Andy asked, looking at the scenes shown in the mirror.
Eliza looked at Andy and answered, "Old prophecies will be recorded in crystal orbs at the end of each month and will be stored in a sealed room."
Then she turned to look at the ceiling again and continued, "If one has divination talent – the inner eye – like Mr Grindelwald, they can see the scenes of the future if they tried to divine."
"This is the Mirror Room."
"But there is another name for this place among us, the Unspeakable: the room of Past and Future."
