Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Sherlock did not move and directly used control magic to open the door to the guest room.

He looked at the black-haired young man who walked in with a little amusement in his eyes.

"If you don't run away during this time, why do you want to come back to me?"

The Auror suspected to be named "Eddie" could have fled away from the chaotic scene just now. Since he didn't want to go back to the Ministry of Magic, walking northwest meant that he had other places to go.

But under such a good opportunity, not only did he not leave, but he returned the same way to find himself.

This was actually a bit beyond Sherlock's expectations.

The black-haired young man did not answer Sherlock's question immediately. Instead, he stared at the position on his chest and asked without blinking.

"Have you met Amy?"

Sherlock's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked down at the black-haired young man and found that he had been staring at the amulet that Amy lent him before he separated from Amy.

After a brief moment of astonishment, thoughts flashed through Sherlock's mind quickly, and then he asked in a deep voice.

"Your name is Eddie Butler?"

The black-haired young man seemed extremely surprised that he could directly call out his name.

"Amy told you what my name is?"

His answer was basically a disguised admission that Sherlock had guessed correctly.

"No, I just happen to know that the Ministry of Magic is looking for a wizard named Eddie, and the Death Eaters are also looking for a person named Butler." Sherlock stared at him, "The person they are looking for should be the same person. , and this person is you.”

The black-haired young man named Eddie looked at Sherlock for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"The people Amy can trust are indeed no ordinary characters."

Then he asked seriously.

"How is Amy now? Did you come to this city specially to help Amy find me?"

Sherlock shook his head and said.

"No, I just came here to deal with some other things. I didn't expect to meet Amy's father here at first. Amy is still in the Leaky Cauldron, and my friend is helping to watch her."

After understanding that there was nothing wrong with Amy's current situation, Eddie suddenly said with a serious face.

"This may be a bit abrupt, but I still want to ask you to do me a favor."

Sherlock looked at him strangely.

"We've only met for less than a minute, and you don't even know my name, right?"

Eddie said quickly.

"Since Amy gave you the amulet I gave her, it means that she trusts you. I have nothing to doubt about the people she can trust."

His words are very unreasonable if you listen to them normally, but Amy's own talent is very abnormal, so as a father who trusts his daughter who is not yet seven years old, it makes sense.

Eddie said, glancing out the window.

At this time, there were constant explosions and screams on the streets outside. The Muggle expulsion spell he used before could only have some effect on the space in this hotel, but now the Death Eaters are attacking the entire hotel. There was an attack on every street.

"My time is tight, this..."

"Just call me John."

"Okay, John." Eddie said with a frown, "Although it is very presumptuous, but in this situation, I can only ask you to help me. I want you to go to the Ministry of Magic for me and find the current The head of the Department of Mysteries, Mrs. Selwyn, told her that Sdri was killed and the Death Eaters obtained the secrets of Door 7 of the Department of Mysteries from her head!"

"Why can't you go back on your own? Even if the Ministry of Magic now misunderstands that you have joined the Dark Lord's side, it will not be able to explain it after you go back and be examined, and you can also escape the pursuit of the Death Eaters."

Sherlock said puzzledly.

Just as he was asking the question, a dozen sonic booms sounded like whips lashing the air, and Moody's angry voice also sounded amidst the chaos and screams.

"Hurry up and stop them! Don't let the chaos expand! Block this street! Otherwise, the secrecy law will become a piece of paper!"

"Old cripple! I remember you!" Bella's sharp voice was extremely harsh, "Avada Kedavra!"

"Collapse!"

"..."

The Aurors had obviously come into contact with the Death Eaters at this time, and this was the opportunity Sherlock had been waiting for when he came to Sheffield.

But he was not impatient, but waited for Eddie on the opposite side to finish his words.

"You should know that there was an attack in Wales a month ago, and four Aurors were killed by Death Eaters." Eddie breathed rapidly and spoke quickly, "I was one of them during that operation, and I was present. There are a total of ten Aurors, that is, two Auror teams. I am the captain of one of the teams, and the four Aurors who died were all my subordinates! "

Sherlock frowned slightly and listened quietly.

"That operation was because the former Director of the Department of Mysteries, Mrs. Sedley, was attacked by Death Eaters. She asked magic for rescue, and the Ministry sent us there. But they seemed to know in advance where we would be. When time comes, it will appear wherever it comes.”

"We just arrived near Mrs. Sdri's house. We were attacked by Death Eaters who had been ambushing here for a long time! Two of my men died on the spot. In the following battle, I and seven other people also died. Lost."

"After taking care of the two Death Eaters who were chasing me, I returned to Madam Stry's residence. The Death Eaters had left there, and Mrs. Stry was dying. She told me that the followers of the Dark Lord gave her something to drink. A large amount of truth serum, and I learned about the secret behind door 7 of the Department of Mysteries. Let me inform the current Director of the Department of Mysteries, Mrs. Selwyn, of this matter as soon as possible, otherwise the Dark Lord will get no one. Way to stop the power!”

"I wanted to escape with Mrs. Stry, but she only breathed her last. After telling me the most important news, she died completely!"

"At this time, the Death Eaters also discovered me again, and they continued to launch a series of hunts against me. I was injured in the subsequent battles, and my body could not withstand long-distance apparation. I could only Escape from city to city towards London.”

"Just when I had escaped to Luton and was about to reach the Ministry of Magic, I heard the news from the Ministry of Magic!"

Eddie's face was as dark as the water in a black lake.

"After the others were separated, the other two people in my team also died. Now I am the only one left in the Auror team I led! But all the members of the other team survived!"

"Among those who returned to the Ministry of Magic, some said that I became a traitor, informed the Death Eaters of the Ministry's plan in advance, and used my authority to kill my teammates! Because this is a huge task It was a scandal, so the Ministry of Magic did not spread the news, but privately asked the Aurors to hunt me down, and even issued an order to kill me whether I live or die! "

Sherlock thought about the Death Eaters he had been studying for the past month, who had repeatedly committed crimes, and the whereabouts were completely consistent with Eddie's statement.

From Wales to London, then suddenly changed direction when in Luton, and finally ended up in Sheffield!

"Only the words of those who escaped back, the Ministry of Magic found you guilty, and did not even go through the procedures of arresting you for interrogation?" Sherlock asked with a frown.

Eddie said with a sneer.

"There are a lot involved here. The traitor is not just an ordinary Auror. Do you know the identities of those people in the other Auror team? The son of a director and the nephews of three department heads. and nephew, as well as a direct descendant of the former Minister for Magic!”

"Are they all purebloods?"

"Five people, five pure-bloods! That team was specially prepared! Before this mission, they had never conducted any mission against Death Eaters! Now the Auror Command is the easiest place to mix seniority. Department, those officials need to gild their offspring without putting them at risk!”

Eddie's face was full of ferocity: "I should have thought of it a long time ago! Why are these delicate young men who were well protected before suddenly sent to carry out such a mission! This was planned from the beginning!"

"I can't go back to the Ministry of Magic! But this news must be sent back. One of the five people alive must be a traitor to the family behind him, and he is now lurking in the Ministry of Magic! The plans of these Death Eaters outside are other than Catch me and prevent me from bringing the news back to the Ministry of Magic. You also want to attract most of the power in the Ministry to create conditions for the traitor!"

"So someone must go back and inform Mrs. Selwyn of the news! I originally planned to go to the Isle of Man, where Chris, the former director of the Auror Office, who retired and retired, has a good relationship with my elder, and he will trust me. I told him what happened and asked him to go to the Ministry of Magic, but now it's too late!"

His tone became increasingly urgent.

"I need your help, John. Although I don't know what is behind door 7, but it must be important! The current actions of the Death Eaters are directly ordered by the Dark Lord. In other words, those who need that thing It’s the Dark Lord himself!”

The battle between Death Eaters and Aurors was still raging in the street outside, and Sherlock had only a short time to think about it.

Helping Aurors deal with Death Eaters only gives you the opportunity to join the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in the Ministry of Magic. If you want to get involved with the Department of Mysteries, you will have to go through a lot of trouble later.

Eddie's request allows him to deal directly with the Department of Mysteries and meet the current Director of the Department of Mysteries.

In addition, he is Amy's father, and the situation in the Ministry of Magic is more critical than it seems here.

Whether for public or private reasons, Sherlock has enough reasons to make his choice.

He stared into Eddie's nervous eyes.

"Tell me, how should I go to the Ministry of Magic to find Mrs. Selwyn?"
