“Promptly Potter” Episode 129: “Become One with the Universe or Whatever”
– In Chapter 35 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Death Eaters ambush Harry and his friends at the Ministry; fortunately, members of the Order of the Phoenix arrive. Bellatrix engages in a duel with Sirius, sending him flying through a mysterious Veil that consumes and kills him.
– Today’s prompt is “What is the Veil, where did it come from, and what does the Ministry do with it? Was it created in the Department of Mysteries, or is it an artifact they are studying?”
