Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

The compartment is a completely enclosed space. In such an environment, the most suitable spell to use is the explosion spell.

It doesn't take too much. As long as ten wands use the explosive spell together, the people inside will not be able to react at all and they will all be blown to ashes.

But after all, the cubicle was not entirely filled with Death Eaters. There were also two Ministry of Magic employees lying on the floor. The witch who was tied to a chair and forced to confess was basically the head of the Department of Mysteries, Mrs. Selwyn.

Therefore, Sherlock can only adopt a compromise method, increase the number of wands, pay attention to the general position of those in the compartment before opening the door, and prepare for aiming.

Then he kicked the door open and the spell was released!

"Everything is petrified."

This time Sherlock did not continue to use the silent spell, because that would also reduce the effect of the spell. Before, when dealing with one person, he could not care about it. Now that there are more targets and there is no need to hide, Sherlock will naturally choose to chant. Cast a spell.

Dozens and hundreds of stun spells didn't give the people in the compartment any time to react. In other words, even if they had enough time to react, they couldn't figure out how to react to such a situation in a short period of time.

The vast majority of spells hit their target.

Three of the first few Death Eaters to be targeted were directly hit by more than a dozen spells and fell down on the spot.

But because of the angle, Algie was behind the witch, and all the petrifying spells were blocked by Mrs. Selwyn. None of them hit him. The same was true for the other Death Eater. Most of the spells were blocked by the three companions in front of him. Blocked, he was only hit by one shot, and the effect of being severely reduced was not enough to petrify him, but his body was a little stiff and he had difficulty moving.

There were more than a dozen magic spells falling on the desk and the wall, leaving a lot of craters.

At this time, Algie and another Death Eater who had only been hit by a petrifying spell finally reacted.

The only thing on their minds right now is that they are surrounded by dozens or hundreds of Aurors! The Aurors gave up on the Death Eaters in Sheffield and chose to come back to guard the Ministry of Magic!

Otherwise, even if all the Aurors who were staying in the ministry came over, they wouldn't be able to use so many spells at once.

So the first time Algie and the Death Eater came to their senses, they were ready to escape!

There are only two of them left now, but almost all the Aurors are here. The plan must have failed!

Algie immediately raised his wand and the spell he chanted was to disapparate.

However, before he could finish reciting the spell, a thick tome on his desk floated out of thin air, and then hit him directly on the head!

The spell was interrupted, and then a dozen red petrification spells hit him directly, completely blocking his escape route.

The other Death Eater had no chance to use Apparition at all. He was not an employee of the Ministry of Magic, and the anti-Apparition magic here was not open to him.

Just when he was huddled in the corner holding the wand at a loss, dozens of wands were floating in the air and flew into the compartment, all with their tips pointed at him.

At the same time, Sherlock walked in with a numb-looking Sophie.

The Death Eater who was forced into the corner did not dare to use the curse. After Sherlock walked in, he still stretched his head and looked behind him, trying to find the large group of Aurors who had just unified and used the curse together.

However, there was nothing behind Sherlock, no one.

Among the other petrified Death Eaters, only Algi's position on the ground was facing the door of the compartment. He could see more clearly that there was no one in the time hall outside, and the only thing that walked in was what he saw before him. There are two wizards, a male and a female.

And judging by what they were wearing, it was obvious that the wizard was not from the Ministry of Magic!

Algie's eyes became blank.

So there is no large army of Aurors at all, and all those countless curses just now were actually used by one person?

Sherlock didn't care about the mental state of these Death Eaters. After using several petrification spells on the only Death Eater who could still move but had basically relaxed his resistance, he walked to Mrs. Selwyn's side and lifted the spell. The spell on her.

Seeing the confusion on the face of the Director of the Department of Mysteries, Sherlock raised his eyebrows and introduced himself.

"Hello madam, my name is John Watson. I was entrusted by Eddie Butler in Shelffield to remind you that the former director of the Department of Affairs, Stry, was killed. The Death Eaters learned the secrets of the Department of Affairs from her, and It’s possible to break in here at any time, but it seems like I’m still a little late.”

Mrs. Selwyn shook her head.

"No, you came in time. If you hadn't rushed over, I'm afraid there would have been a big mess." Gu

Sherlock could vaguely hear from her tone that she didn't actually have any fear. It seemed that even if Sherlock didn't show up, it wouldn't be a big deal if she was given Veritaserum, and the Death Eaters wouldn't be able to get her. Want to get something.

The wands floating in the air flew back to Sherlock's bag one after another. At this time, there was a commotion outside the Time Hall.

Soon, Scrimgeour arrived here with Barty Jr., Kingsley and a group of six people. Seeing this scene in the office of the Department of Mysteries, their faces were full of shock and confusion.

Seeing that they had just appeared now, Sherlock couldn't help but think of the police in movies and TV shows who would only show up at the right time. They would not rush over to finish things off until everything was over.

Scrimgeour and the others did rush over to finish things off.

Algie didn't wear a mask, so it was clear who the traitor was. After asking his men to bring these Death Eaters to the interrogation room, Scrimgeour, as the director of the office, personally conducted a series of questions on Sherlock.

"You mean you accidentally met Eddie while traveling in Sheffield, and he asked you to help report the matter to the Ministry of Magic?"

His attitude was very kind. He was not conducting an interrogation, but just making some routine inquiries, so Sherlock didn't feel anything was wrong and told the truth.

"Yes, the Death Eaters were chasing him at that time, and they didn't want him to bring the news back to the Ministry of Magic. And the Ministry of Magic...well, they also had some misunderstandings about him. It happened that he met me. Because of a certain For some reasons, we had a foundation of mutual trust, and then he asked me to help find Sophie, and then asked her to take me to the Ministry of Magic to find Mrs. Selwyn. The final result is what you see. "

Scrimgeour's face was sullen.

"After the failure of the operation in Wales, the person who said Eddie was a traitor was Algie! His grandfather was the former Minister of Magic and had many contacts in the ministry. Those people convinced Director Crouch not to Giving Eddie the opportunity to directly confirm his guilt, even if Barty Jr., who also participated in that operation, expressed doubts about it and said that he may not be the traitor, it would not help. "

As he spoke, he looked at Sherlock again.

"Did Eddie tell you where he planned to go next? After Algie was caught, that was enough to prove his innocence."

Sherlock shrugged.

"He said he was going to the Isle of Man. The Death Eaters are still chasing him. He wanted to divert some of the Death Eaters' attention away so that he could share the pressure on Sheffield."

Scrimgeour looked silent.

"No one should doubt his loyalty to the Ministry of Magic. I will help him get an explanation from the Ministry."

Finally, Scrimgeour solemnly thanked Sherlock.

"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Watson. If you hadn't arrived in time, it's unimaginable what serious consequences would have occurred. Do you need anything? If so, I can try to help you go to the ministry. Apply in return."

What Scrimgeour said was sincere. If it weren't for Sherlock, Mrs. Selwyn would have been given Veritaserum. Today, the matter would have become extremely serious. He even lost his job as Director of the Auror Office for this reason. The location is not out of the question.

It was his words that Sherlock was waiting for. He asked directly without any restraint or refusal.

"When I came to the Ministry of Magic this time, I found the Department of Mysteries to be a very interesting place, so can I apply for a position here and work here?"

Scrimgeour was caught off guard by this request.

If Sherlock wanted honor or money, he could get it from the Ministry of Magic, or if he wanted to join an Auror, this was what he wanted.

Although he still doesn't know what means Sherlock used to defeat five Death Eaters by himself (Sophie was not included in his combat effectiveness at all), but with such strength, if he becomes an Auror, he will definitely Become a major support in the command department.

Scrimgeour tried.

"Mr. Watson, if you are willing, I can directly recruit you into the Auror Command, and with your current achievements, it is not impossible to be promoted to captain. As for the Department of Mysteries, I have not made the decision for them. If you really want to work here, I can only help you ask Mrs. Selwyn what she thinks."

Sherlock didn't refuse or agree, he just said.

"Then please help me make inquiries. I am naturally willing to help the Ministry of Magic, but according to my personal interests, I still have more ideas about the work of the Department of Mysteries. It doesn’t mean anything.”

Scrimgeour twitched his lips and nodded.

"Then are you going to wait for the result in the ministry, or are you going to leave first? If you are going to leave first, I will have someone notify you when things here stabilize and Mrs. Selwyn gives you an answer."

"I'd better go back to the Leaky Cauldron first. If there are any results, you can ask someone to find me there. My uncle and I will live there."
