Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Sherlock looked at Scrimgeour, who looked at him too.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he had no objection or prejudice against the new Minister of Magic who had succeeded Fudge.

This wizard was more than a bit stronger than Fudge in terms of ability and determination to fight against Voldemort.

He did not give an immediate answer, but after pondering for a moment, he raised his head and met Scrimgeour's eyes.

"Although this question is a bit abrupt, can I understand, Mr. Minister, your subsequent plans and deployments against mysterious people and Death Eaters?"

Of course, Scrimgeour would not tell Sherlock, an outsider who did not hold an "official position" in the Ministry of Magic, about the specific actions, but in general he had no intention of keeping them secret.

"Today's court hearing is a signal." Scrimgeour looked at Sherlock with a solemn expression, "Next, we will start to take action against those wizards who have a record of leaning towards mysterious people. These people who have been arrested have secretly We have revealed many of their accomplices, and we will follow this list.”

"Those who can find actual evidence will be arrested directly. If there is no evidence, Aurors will be sent to follow up and observe to ensure that the mysterious man's power is further cut off before he takes the next step."

Sherlock stared into Scrimgeour's eyes.

"What about Voldemort? What are your plans against him?"

This time he did not call the mysterious man by this title, but directly said the name that was taboo in the magic world.

Even as tough as Scrimgeour, his face turned pale after hearing this name.

But at least he didn't tremble, which was stronger than most wizards in the magical world.

"At that time, he will become a polished commander. It will undoubtedly be much easier to deal with him when he is alone."

Sherlock looked at him deeply and shook his head.

"You are afraid of him, but you underestimate him. The current danger in the wizarding world has never been those Death Eaters. There will be no shortage of speculators and criminals in any era. The key to the problem is that Voldemort is a threat that far exceeds The Madman of Almost Dark Wizards in History.”

"Even if you capture all his men, Voldemort will still be Voldemort, and only when Voldemort is truly dead will the so-called Death Eaters defeat themselves."

There was silence in the minister's office, except for Scrimgeour's breathing, which was obviously much heavier than before.

After a long time, Sherlock spoke again.

"I actually know that you have no choice but to target the Death Eaters, because the entire Ministry of Magic is completely ignorant of Voldemort. Even if you, the minister, hear this, When he doesn't even have the title of his real name, he will feel fear in his heart, let alone other people."

"If you go as you said and deal with the Death Eaters first, can you ensure that there are no undercover agents in the Ministry of Magic now? Even Director-level officials like Bagman can be incited to rebel. Even those who commit such crimes can Karkaroff can be reactivated for serious betrayal. Do you dare to say that everyone in the Ministry of Magic can be trusted? "

"To directly confront Voldemort's decisions, confidentiality is the most basic premise. If you can't even do this, let alone find a way to defeat Voldemort."

At this point, Sherlock's tone became more solemn.

"So, Minister Scrimgeour, if you want to defeat Voldemort from the bottom of your heart and let the wizarding world survive this crisis, then the best way is not to interfere with any actions of the Order of the Phoenix."

"The Ministry of Magic's primary goal is to wipe out the Death Eater forces, and our only goal is only one person. The core purpose of the two parties is the same, but the task is divided into two steps. The best situation now is for the Ministry of Magic It belongs to the Ministry of Magic, and the Order of the Phoenix belongs to the Order of the Phoenix. Both parties do their own things seriously and do not interfere with each other.”

"It is precisely for this reason that I have never agreed to your offer to serve in the Ministry of Magic. Your focus should not be on my or Harry's influence, but on stabilizing the situation in the British wizarding community as soon as possible and The chain reaction of the subsequent conflict with Voldemort is minimized."

After finishing all the words, Sherlock stood up from the chair.

He never thought that Scrimgeour was a bad person or an obstacle on the way to defeating Voldemort. It was just the different views of the two parties that led to internal disputes.

Sherlock took this opportunity and could only speak so clearly. After that, he could only see what Scrimgeour thought.

"I have to go back and prepare for the conferment of honors tomorrow. I'm sorry that I have to leave now, Mr. Minister."

He walked to the door. Scrimgeour seemed to be still immersed in thought and didn't say anything about it.

Later, Sherlock left the Ministry of Magic and returned home.

It was already late for him to go home. There were more than ten court trials today. As an important witness, he stayed at the Ministry of Magic almost the whole day. In addition, after talking with Scrimgeour, it was already... dinner time.

Since Hilke's cooking skills have soared, she has been studying the recipes at home almost every day.

After getting along for a long time, she also discovered that Sherlock had a special love for Chinese food, so she bought an "Encyclopedia of Chinese Cuisine". Usually when Sherlock was not at home, she would make the dishes and try them out for herself. Now, It's pretty decent.

Just like today's dinner is tomato and egg noodles.

The noodles were cut by Silke using magic, and they tasted very strong.

"Before you go to the ceremony tomorrow, you will go out with me first."

Sherlock slurped the noodles and spoke.

Hilke didn't eat. She usually ate very little at night, like tonight she just ate some fruit.

"What are you going to do?" she asked doubtfully.

"I'm going to treat your eyes." Sherlock said casually, "I found a connection in the Ministry of Magic and met a former Silent Person in the Hall of Time. She is an old witch with a bit of a weird temper. She should be able to help you with your eye problems. Give me some advice.”

Because he didn't want Hilke to be more disappointed if her hopes increased now, Sherlock didn't say for sure that Mrs. Matthew would be able to cure her eyes.

Hearing his words, Silk was stunned.

Her golden eyes hidden under the black ribbon looked at Sherlock blankly. After a long time, she suddenly smiled.

"Then I'll go there with you tomorrow."

"There will also be an award ceremony later, and we will go directly to the ceremony site at that time."
