Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

,!

Bella appeared at the back wall of the orphanage with five Death Eaters, including Lucius.

Being able to apparate here proves that they have already been here for reconnaissance.

Bella didn't seem to be affected by the fact that her husband was arrested. Not only did she have no intention of rescuing Rodolphus, who was being imprisoned for some time, she even did so in front of a group of Death Eaters and Voldemort's face, mocking his incompetence.

It can be said that after becoming a die-hard fan of Voldemort, Bella did not have the slightest status in Rodolphus's heart.

The two said they were a couple, but in fact it was only in name only now.

"I hope no one will miss anything today."

Bella stared at the Death Eaters around her and said in a sharp and fierce voice.

"Master has waited until now just for this opportunity. From the moment we appear here, I don't want a fly to escape!"

The other four people nodded in agreement. Only Lucius looked a little pale. He stared at Bella and said with trembling lips.

"We will complete all the tasks assigned by the master, but please also remember, Bella, the master also said that the safety of my son must be guaranteed!"

Bella's lips curled up into a disdainful sneer, as if she felt very contemptuous of Lucius's words, but she still said it.

"Of course I know this is also the master's order."

After hearing her words of promise, Lucius's expression did not improve much. He left in a hurry with two of the Death Eaters, while Bella took the other two Death Eaters in another direction.

At the same time, inside Hogwarts.

Snape quickly walked into the headmaster's office with a face that had never looked so ugly.

Dumbledore was reading an official document from the International Federation of Magic. When he saw Snape coming in, he couldn't help but sit up straight.

"There is something wrong with the Dark Lord these days. He seems to be deliberately avoiding me and planning something with his people."

After hearing Snape's words, Dumbledore frowned instantly.

"Any more news?"

Snape took a deep breath.

"Lucius used Floo powder to find me this morning. He looked panicked and stressed countless times that he hoped I could protect his son.

"

"Draco Malfoy?"

"Yes, and three days ago, Narcissa forced me to be his son's godfather, because the Dark Lord gave me instructions to stay in Hogwarts and not go anywhere, so I won't use this as an excuse for the time being. promise."

Dumbledore was thinking in his royal blue eyes.

"We have always known that Draco received some special mission from him. At first, Sherlock and I both thought that he was probably just using Sherlock as a springboard. In fact, the ultimate goal was me. After all, all along, His biggest threat is me."

Snape's face was serious.

"But what Sherlock did during the summer vacation made his reputation in the wizarding world worse than before. With his character, it is very likely that Sherlock will be the first target, and he will still kill him personally. Only This will restore his lost reputation.”

Dumbledore muttered.

"If the target is Harry, if he succeeds, he can break the prophecy that has been circulating in the wizarding world for a long time. If the target is me, he can directly kill the only person in the wizarding world who can confront him head-on. And no matter it is I am still Harry, he can also gain huge reputation, and if I choose Sherlock, in addition to regaining his lost reputation, he will also have the opportunity to completely get rid of Sally who has been hiding in his soul for a long time. Soul... But why is he so sure of killing Sherlock?"

Snape did not see the slightest impatience in Dumbledore. If the current situation were to go by, Sherlock was taking Draco outside Hogwarts, and Voldemort's long-planned hibernation was probably there. This time to surround and kill him.

"Sherlock told me that he actually doesn't have the ability to fight against the Dark Lord at all. The last time he was able to do that was purely due to some information gaps and a lot of luck." Snape's tone was obviously anxious.

Dumbledore actually had a smile on his face at this moment.

"That was Sherlock last June."

Snape didn't understand what Dumbledore meant when he said this. In less than a year from June last year to now, how much better can Sherlock's magic improve?

How could even a genius be able to confront Voldemort head-on in such a short period of time?

Dumbledore didn't explain anything to Snape. He turned his head and spoke softly to a portrait on the wall.

"Dalys, can you help me go to the Ministry of Magic? Tell Minister Scrimgeour that I have something very important to talk to him about. I will go to the minister's office soon and ask him to make time."

A kind witch nodded in response, and then disappeared from the frame in the next second.

"Phineas." He called out the name of the other portrait, "call Minerva over for me and make her walk faster."

In the past, there was a portrait of a skinny old man who would complain when he went out to call people. Now he didn't say any nonsense. He walked directly through the portrait and left the principal's office.

After doing these two things, Dumbledore seemed to sense Snape's anxiety, and smiled slightly, knowing that although he and Sherlock often hurt each other and refused to accept the other, the actual relationship between them was very nice.

"Don't worry, Severus, Sherlock and I are not fools. We both know that the Death Eaters must have some plan behind their recent hibernation, and such a plan must be between me, Harry and Sherlock. "

Snape said expressionlessly.

"I'm not worried, I just want to know, since you were already on guard beforehand, why did you let Sherlock and Draco go out together so easily?"

Dumbledore crossed his hands and put his arms on the desk. The crescent-shaped lenses reflected white light.

"Voldemort is looking for an opportunity to strike and get rid of the three knots in his heart. Are we also struggling to find their hidden stronghold?"

Snape's expression suddenly froze, and Dumbledore's words did not end.

"He thinks you are still useful, but he is still vigilant and does not give you full trust. He always lets you stay in Hogwarts and rarely lets you participate in large-scale Death Eater gatherings."

"Sherlock deliberately takes Draco out with him every week? Does he just want to use himself as bait to lure the Dark Lord out?"

"He took Draco out just because he thought the child could be saved." Dumbledore said calmly, "According to what he thought at the beginning, if Draco still had a little bit of conscience left in his heart, he would not put himself at risk every day. Zhou and Sherlock went to the Muggle orphanage to volunteer together, and if Draco is really at a hopeless point..."

He didn't say anything, but even if he didn't, Snape would know what would happen if Draco was really hopeless.

And the current situation is developing towards this situation.

...

Sherlock reacted immediately as soon as he got the news from the shabby house where Moody and the others were stationed.

"Let Dobby and Kreacher go to the orphanage immediately and pick up all the children there, and then let everyone who is on standby in the Order of the Phoenix come over as we have prepared in advance."

Facing the unexpected situation, Moody and Lupine showed solemn expressions on their faces, while Sirius looked excited.

He looked like he had been waiting for this day.

And just as Sherlock finished speaking, an invisible magic power gathered inward from all directions, and soon it was like a big cover, with the orphanage as the center, covering the entire area within a three-kilometer radius.

Each of the four here is familiar with this magic.

Anti-Apparition magic!

The six wizards who came here immediately blocked the space, and they were obviously hostile.

Up to now, even if it is still not certain that the identities of these six wizards are Death Eaters, Sherlock and the others will still estimate the worst-case scenario.

Immediately, Sherlock, Moody and Sirius did not stay where they were. They rushed out of the broken house and ran towards the orphanage, leaving only Lupine to use the special method he had prepared before to contact Kreacher and More than.

The atmosphere in the orphanage was still very peaceful, and the Muggles could not feel the fluctuations of magic at all. After watching Sherlock rush into the orphanage with a crippled one-eyed old man and a middle-aged man with curly hair, Mrs. Chris looked a little surprised, but she didn't panic out of trust in Sherlock.

"Mr. Forrest, are these two... your friends?"

Sherlock had no time to introduce the identities of Moody and Sirius to him, because at this time, with a "Peng" sound, two house elves, Dobby and Kreacher, had appeared between them.

Regarding these two inhuman creatures that appeared out of thin air, except for some children who were still young and did not have a clear understanding of the world, most of the other children were frightened. Even Mrs. Chris and Haley were also frightened. After a jump, they subconsciously protected the child in the middle.

"Dobby reporting to you, sir."

Dobby, dressed in decent clothes, bowed to Sherlock, while the older Kreacher looked at Sirius with timidity and disgust, bowed and shouted.

"Master Sirius."

Sherlock directed the two elves, each taking several children, to leave the orphanage by apparating.

Even if Mrs. Chris trusts Sherlock no matter how much she trusts her, she will not easily listen to his words and act in such a situation. Sherlock can only use a confusion spell first to prevent her from subconsciously thinking that there is nothing wrong with it.

But just when all the children were about to leave, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Where are Draco and Tracey?"

Mrs. Chris, who was under a confusion spell, spoke truthfully.

"They left the cafeteria together after eating. I don't know which classroom they are in now."

Sherlock frowned, his control magic enveloped the entire orphanage, and soon they were spotted on the side of the orphanage near the wall.

"Dobby, you and Kreacher take them away first, and then come back."

"Dobby got it."

The next moment, Dobby and Kreacher took the children from the orphanage and left.

Sirius looked at Sherlock.

"Did that kid from the Malfoy family tell the Death Eaters your location? And now he's kidnapped a little Muggle girl as a hostage?"

This is the most reasonable inference, but Sherlock feels that this is not the case.

If Draco had really planned to report their location to Voldemort from the beginning, why did he go to the farm with him to do odd jobs?

Acting to numb yourself?

Sherlock didn't think Draco would have such perfect acting skills, otherwise he wouldn't have looked so nervous when he came to his desk for the first time in Hogwarts.

"Let's find those two children first."

Sherlock said, and ran towards where he sensed Draco and Tracey were.

...

Draco and Tracey walked out of the canteen together five minutes after Sherlock left the orphanage.

Tracey really wanted to watch the magic trick Draco performed for him last time. Draco reluctantly agreed, but he only agreed to show it to her alone.

"Where did the boss learn his magic? Did his parents teach him?"

Tracey asked, blinking. She had obviously been curious about the little trick Draco was showing her.

Although Draco has not graduated from Hogwarts, he is also very aware of the Ministry of Magic's enforcement of the Secrecy Act under the influence of his family environment.

Students at Hogwarts are prohibited from using magic outside of school. He dared to use it in front of Tracy because he knew that the traces used by the Ministry of Magic to monitor young wizards could not accurately locate the individual who cast the spell. uu Reading With Sherlock, an adult wizard, nearby, there won't be any trouble.

But even a man as arrogant as Draco would not dare to reveal magic and the existence of Hogwarts directly to a Muggle, even if the other person was just a six or seven-year-old child.

In English, both magic and magic are "magic", and Draco didn't need to specifically correct Tracy's name.

"Just like you said, the magic masters you saw in the newspaper are of course inherited from my family. But the things I know are not the same as those people who perform like monkeys in the circus. Others see it.”

While they were talking, they came to a corner of the orphanage yard. It was lunch break after lunch. Very few children would come here. If Draco hadn't been with him, Mrs. Chris wouldn't have let Cui. Akane wandered around the yard alone.

Just when Draco pulled out his wand with a little pride on his face, he was about to perform a more magical transformation on his little brother Tracey this time.

The wall around them suddenly exploded!

A woman with black curly hair and a slightly crazy look in her eyes, followed by two men in black robes wearing iron masks, appeared in front of them.
