The silver instrument is mentioned in chapter twenty-two, St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries and the strange instrument is mostly mentioned on page 470. "Dumbledore now swooped down upon one of the fragile silver instruments whose function Harry had never known, and carried it over to his desk, sat down facing them again, and tapped it gently with his wand. The instrument tinkled into life at once with rhythmic clinking noises. Tiny puffs of pale green smoke issued from the minuscule silver tube at the top. Dumbledore watched the smoke closely, his brow furrowed, and after a few seconds, the tiny puffs became a steady stream of smoke that thickened, and coiled into the air... A serpent's head grew out of the end of it, opening its mouth wide, Harry wondered whether the instrument was confirming his story: He looked eargerly at Dumbledore for a sign that he was right, but Dumbledore did not look up."
" Naturally, naturally," mummered Dumbledore apparently to himself, observing the steady stream of smoke without the slightest sign of suprise. "But in essence divided?"
"Harry could make neither heads nor tail of this question. The smoke serpent, however, split itself instantly into two snakes, both coiling and undulating in the dark air. With a grim look of satisfaction Dumbledore gave the intrument another gentle tap with his wand. The clinking noise slowed and died, and the smoke serpents grew fain, became a formles haze, and vanished." Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Page 470.
*See what I mean it absoultly makes no sense! Just like most of the department of mysteries.*

bbaxel32 Gypsy Blue FayeKasumiValentine1 That thing has been driving me nuts almost as much as the veil. What does it mean? The veil is easy to explain. Once upon a time, the Celtic peoples occupied most of Europe. They believed that there was a "veil" that seperated the world of the living from the land of the dead. It was believed to be more of a vein of fog or mist, but it's been treated in more recent times as veil int he sense of a piece of fabric. That archway was a gateway into the land of the dead, and the veil over it was the "veil" that seperates the two worlds. By passing through that veil, Sirius entered the land of the dead, and therefore died in Rowling's treatment of this piece of mythology.thankyou. No problem! biggrin
