Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

People were eventually lost.

It is very strange that in the Ministry of Magic, the home base of the Aurors, without the authority to Apparate or any other exit, the two Lestrange brothers actually disappeared from everyone's sight.

When the chasing Aurors returned to their lives, at the scene of the incident, Sherlock and the others were also describing the course of the incident to the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic.

"...We couldn't save Algi, they seemed to be familiar with the routes in the Ministry of Magic, and couldn't stop them from leaving. They could only use the Explosion Spell to make a big noise and attract others. come over."

It was said that Sherlock was told to Minkan, but in fact, it was Scrimgeour who really understood the incident. After all, he was a professional Auror.

"You're saying Rodolphus turned into Eddie and wanted to frame him?"

His question was that the two Aurors who had been knocked out in the first place could attest that Rodolphus had deliberately shown his face for them to see before they were knocked out.

The expression on Scrimgeour's face was thoughtful.

"Pretending to be Eddie also said in the past. They knew that because of Algie's betrayal, all of Eddie's men died, so he had a great motive."

In fact, many people present know that this is not a big motive at all, but Eddie himself has done it.

It's just that they deliberately didn't ask why Sherlock and Eddie appeared here in the middle of the night.

People are already dead, and Eddie didn't kill them, so there is no need to go too deep into some things. Whether it's Scrimgeour or Crouch or Minkan, they are all old fritters.

Knowing that figuring out these things now will not help the development of the matter at all, and there is no need to ask Eddie and Sherlock to be held accountable.

Minkan's face was still gloomy.

"The crux of the question now is why did they kill Algie? The crux of the matter is that the Ministry of Magic's defenses are useless! Now I want to know how they got in and how they got out!"

Investigating these things naturally takes time.

As the only magical political institution in the UK, the Ministry of Magic is actually very weak in defense.

In addition to the restrictions of Apparition, it is also possible to enter through some door keys that have been left outside for temporary use, as well as through the Floo network of some offices.

There is no way to block these entrances. If they are closed, the daily work of the entire Ministry of Magic will be semi-paralyzed, and there is no way to deal with government affairs.

So Scrimgeour has a lot of work right now. First of all, he has to check all the fireplaces connected to the Floo network in the Ministry of Magic, and whether the door keys hidden outside are not being used.

At the end, Eddie opened his mouth and wanted to tell what they heard about the conversation between the Lestrange brothers and Algie, but Sherlock pulled his sleeves and shook his head slightly to stop it.

They didn't leave the Ministry until the whole second half of the night had passed and Sherlock and Eddie had done all the records at Auror Command.

The two glanced at each other, and tacitly came to a bar on the street above the Ministry of Magic together.

"Why didn't you let me tell that?" Eddie asked in confusion.

Sherlock narrowed his eyes and asked back.

"How did Rodolphus become you?"

Eddie hesitated.

"That kind of deformation should be the effect of the compound decoction."

"That's right, Compound Decoction. If the Death Eaters knew you had a grudge against Algie so they pretended to be you, as explained by the Welsh incident, then one of the ingredients in the Compound Decoction, your body hair, they are also How did you get it?"

Sherlock's words stopped Eddie.

After he was cleared of his crimes and returned to the Ministry of Magic, he stayed in the Auror dormitory of the Ministry of Magic. He never returned home, and there was no one around except his colleagues.

How did the Death Eaters get his body hair under the circumstances here?

Sherlock continued.

"And even if the Ministry of Magic's guards were looser, if the Death Eaters really had such an easy way to get in, they wouldn't have chosen to engage in these petty thefts until now. Isn't that more rewarding than what you do outside?"

Eddie quickly understood what Sherlock was trying to convey.

"You mean....they still have undercover agents in the ministry?"

"Not only is there an undercover agent, but his identity is definitely not low. Otherwise, the black devil will not be so constrained. The last time Algie was exposed was probably just a smoke bomb. His loyalty to the black devil was not so firm. The black devil himself Surely. And the true loyal undercover agent who will be of great use in the future is still lurking in the Ministry of Magic!"

Sherlock looked at him solemnly.

"What Rodolphus said, the secret he wanted to hide, only we know, and maybe we can do something with it. But if we say it, it means that both the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters know it. Besides, even if we say it. , can the Ministry of Magic ask Gringotts to check the Lestrange family treasury?"

Eddie was silent.

This is of course impossible.

If it is possible, there is no need to wait until now. The family treasuries of those pure-blood families who have fallen to the Death Eaters on the bright side have long been sealed.

The reason why such resistance was not possible was not because of the goblins guarding Gringotts, but because it was impossible for such a bill to pass within the Ministry of Magic.

Sherlock knew this because even after 17 years, those Death Eaters had been locked up in Azkaban for more than ten years, and their family vault in Gringotts was still unsealed.

This is basically the same as the rules established within the wizard.

Regardless of the crime committed, the ownership of Gringotts' treasury still belongs to the wizard himself, and no one has the right to touch it (for example, Sirius, the Firebolt he gave Harry when he was a fugitive, was the one he managed to get from the Black family by himself. It was bought by withdrawing money from the vault).

Let Eddie hide this matter, in addition to these reasons, and Sherlock's own selfishness.

Although he can't remember much of the content of the original book, after coming to this world, he has learned a lot of inside information.

According to Rodolphus, the cup that Voldemort told Bella to hide in the Gringotts family vault was most likely a Horcrux!

Of course, Bella, including the rest of the Lestrange family, definitely didn't know the existence of Horcruxes. They could only possibly know that what Voldemort gave them was a very important thing.

Horcruxes were not only the only way to defeat Voldemort, but for Sherlock, they were the ultimate tonic, the kind that would increase his power for fifty years.

To hide the news, I also hope that after the Lestrange brothers find out that the secret has not been spread, they will not tell Voldemort about it and transfer the cup suspected of being a Horcrux.

After all, if Voldemort knew about this, and they caused such a big commotion tonight, the Lestrange brothers would have to peel off their skins if they didn't die.

......

Still in that dark manor.

On the single sofa, his face was abnormally pale, and the handsome wizard gently lifted the wine glass in his hand.

"Ha! Rodolphus, Rabastan, my good man!"

His faint sarcasm echoed in the living room, and the two Lestrange brothers, who were tied with ropes and dropped to the roof, had no scars, but they still looked like they had experienced great pain.

Sweat dripped from them and gathered into a small pool on the floor. Standing beside them was Bella, who had just punished them in place of the wizard.

As Rodolphus' wife and Rabastan's sister-in-law, she had no intention of interceding with the wizard at this time.

Even the disgust and disgust in his eyes were not concealed at all.

"We...we...didn't expect that wizard named Butler...he would actually choose to kill Taft tonight... ' Rodolphus begged, 'forgive us... lord... please...'

Bella cursed sharply.

"You two trash! Let me be ashamed in front of my master too!"

The wizard slowly shook the crimson liquid in the wine glass. He didn't seem to be very angry, but no one would think that this would relax him.

The more they got along with this master, the more they found his temper becoming more and more moody.

At this moment, the icy fireplace beside the living room wall suddenly jumped a few sparks, and then the dark green flame suddenly rose, forming a young and thin face in the fireplace.

"Forgive my rudeness, Master, it's not convenient for me to leave the Ministry of Magic right now, so I can only communicate with you using Floo powder."

Seeing the young man's face in the fireplace, the two Lestrange brothers held their breaths at the same time. They looked at each other, and from each other's eyes, they saw the tension that almost overflowed from their eyes. .

The wizard stopped shaking the glass in his hand.

"Tell me, these two wastes have exposed something."

"Although it was not stated clearly, Scrimgeour obviously began to suspect that there were still undercover agents in the department. He checked all the office fireplaces and the door keys left outside, and found nothing unusual. I have not been suspected, not yet. risk of exposure.”

The young man's face formed by the flame said respectfully.

"only these?"

"Yes~www.NovelMTL.com~ master, this is the only news I have received so far."

Hearing him say this, the Lestrange brothers completely let go of their hearts that had been hanging.

They were really betting that Eddie and Sherlock didn't understand their conversation with Algie, or understood and didn't preach it.

Otherwise, even if they voluntarily admit it, they will surely die!

The two brothers knew how seriously Voldemort took that cup, and would never let them go even if the news came out!

From the current point of view, their gambling luck is not bad, at least their lives have been saved.

"Hurry up and finish the task I gave you." The wizard said coldly, "I don't want to drag it any further, the things in that room must be obtained as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Lord Dark Lord!"

Green flames danced across the fireplace, and the young man's face disappeared.
