It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 185 Theoretical Possibilities
It's been a month since Algee was killed by Death Eaters.

Scrimgeour is a very capable Auror, and he obviously went with Sherlock as well.

There are other Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic!
But he has never found out who it is, or there are too many people who can doubt it. The high-level people are all on the fence, and they will fall to whichever side is stronger, but the form in the magic world is completely clear. Before, it was basically impossible for them to do such a thing as completely standing on one side.

The investigation on the surface only lasted for a week, and the tense atmosphere in the Ministry of Magic relaxed accordingly.

But Scrimgeour didn't really relax, he just turned the investigation to private.

This time, because there were no other casualties, he was lucky enough to be warned and did not lose his buttocks seat, but if there is a next time, then no one will really be able to save him.

There are many insiders about the Ministry of Magic being broken into again, so naturally there is no way to completely seal the news.

As Minkan said, the headline of the Daily Prophet the next day was about this news.

This time, without the cover-up that Sherlock had caught four Death Eaters and a traitor before, it became a pure scandal, which greatly affected the reputation and credibility of the Ministry of Magic.

Later, it is said that Minkan went to Hogwarts in person and asked Dumbledore to say a few words, which calmed down the public opinion in the wizarding world.

The more turbulent the era, the higher the prestige of Dumbledore in the magic world. It is precisely because of his presence that the Dark Lord will not act recklessly.

But in the peaceful age, when there is no threat, some people will forget his importance, and start to see him as an eyesore.

The Ministry of Magic has also returned to normal work.

Even knowing that there might be a Horcrux hidden in the Lestrange family's vault, Sherlock was not in a hurry to get it.

Now his main goal is not this, as long as Voldemort does not know that the secret has been leaked, the Lestrange family will not dare to transfer the cup.

Things won't run, and Sherlock is in no hurry.

After Mrs. Selwyn determined the next main research goal, he had a formal job content.

The Department of Mysteries looks mysterious to outsiders, because no one knows what the people inside are researching.

But after getting in touch with it, in fact, the so-called mysterious things are nothing more than a few things.

Death, time, souls, prophecies, the human brain and more.

In the field of time magic, the previous wizards have researched many practical things, and the time converter is just one of them.

Sherlock had just entered the Department of Affairs. Of course, Mrs. Selwyn didn't want him to take over any crucial research from the very beginning, but started by learning about time magic.

There is a lot of content in these materials, and it is obviously not something that can be figured out in a month or two, so even if there are actual tasks and jobs, Sherlock can still find time to fish and study his own things.

During this month, he had almost torn through the book Amy discovered the secrets of black magic, and he never figured out how it could help him.

Until one day, he inadvertently rediscovered the soul protection magic of the original owner's mother Sally, and when he planned to change his mind and change his thinking, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration!

Soul magic needs to use one's soul to protect another soul, while Horcrux magic can actively tear the soul apart
From this point of view, the two magics that act on the soul actually have something in common!
Then, can we connect it a little bit, change the characteristics attached to the object after the Horcrux magic tears the soul, and at the same time mix the soul protection part of the protection magic with other things, and coexist with the protection magic? ?
Sherlock's brain hole was instantly opened at this moment.

He rubbed his hands a little excitedly, feeling that the direction he thought of was completely feasible!
Although such a thing has nothing to do with returning to the correct timeline, Sherlock is still very interested.

Not only to help Snape realize his dream, but also out of the excitement of solving a long-worried math problem when he was in school in the previous life.

Whether it is horcruxes or soul protection magic, they are the top soul magic in the magic world.

Of course, Sherlock's current knowledge reserve is not enough to support him to complete the integration of the advantages of the two kinds of magic, but he is now in the place with the most mysterious knowledge in the entire British Ministry of Magic, which can provide him with countless theoretical supports.

He hastily pushed open the door of the office, and was about to go to the hall of souls to search for information, but just as he walked out of the hall of time, he happened to meet a young man who came out of the hall of the brain.

They looked at each other, nodded and then staggered away, without much conversation.

Sherlock naturally knew this young man.

Barty Crouch Jr., one of the small captains of the Auror Command, and his father is also Scrimgeour's immediate boss, Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

After graduating from Hogwarts with excellent grades, he has also performed well after joining the Aurors. Coupled with his father's influence, he is definitely a rising star among the Aurors. Even Kingsley can only take second place. behind him.

Since Sherlock came to the Ministry of Magic, he hasn't had any interaction with him, at most, he just had a nodding acquaintance like just now.

It's just that Barty Jr. seems to have visited the Department of Mysteries more recently.

This was the fifth time Sherlock had seen Algee in the month since he had been killed.

But Sherlock just felt a little strange at most, and didn't think much about it.

Anyone could be a traitor, but it would be absurd if a successful winner like Barty Jr., whose father also firmly supported the second generation of the Ministry of Magic against Voldemort, also became a traitor.

He walked into the hall of souls, but the silent man who was in the hall of time was buried in the huge pile of materials about souls, even leaving behind his own job.

This situation continued for a few days, and even Amy, who was used to living with him, felt bored and wanted to go to the Hall of Souls to find him. The silent man in the Hall of Souls was full of resentment towards him, thinking that he was going to steal his job , when Mrs. Selwyn was helplessly preparing to intervene.

Sherlock finally walked out of the Hall of Souls after five days, with hair like a chicken coop.

There was plenty of information in the Department of Mysteries, and he had now come up with a basis.

The combination of Horcrux magic and soul protection magic is theoretically feasible!
