[Comprehensive] Sherlock's Secret

half year later.

See also one year when geese fly high, the sky is far away and the clouds are light, and when the long autumn is approaching.

The street trees on both sides of Sifengshu Street began to change from emerald green to fiery red. Su Fu stood at the corner of the street and looked towards the old apartment shaded by the trees at the corner, but he didn't come back for a few months, and the place seemed to be a bit older.

"Aren't you going to go home and have a look?" asked Dumbledore, who was standing beside her.

"No, there's no one anyway." She said, turning around and walking across the street, "Have you approved those children not going back to school tonight?"

"Of course," Dumbledore smiled, "Sirius is finally fully exonerated, and they need a little celebration."

"There will be a party at 12 Grimmauld Place tonight. Will you go?"

Dumbledore asked, "What about you, Sue?"

"I will," Su Fu squinted at him, "It's my credit, I'll wait for them to praise me one by one."

Dumbledore smiled happily: "You have done a very good job and deserve praise."

Su Fu laughed out loud.

"Then what's next, what's your plan?"

"Go back to school first... After the students finish their exams, go to the United States, and then come back to watch the Quidditch World Cup."

"Mr. Holmes is still in America?"

"Well," Su Fu nodded, "but I don't know where he is, he seems to be busier than me..."

"If you want to find it," Dumbledore said slowly, "there is always a way."

"I heard Minister Fudge sent many more Aurors to track down Peter Pettigrew?"

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded, "I don't quite agree with this method of finding a needle in a haystack. I made some suggestions to him, but he sternly refused..."

"What did you tell him?" Su Fu asked with a smile, "Let me guess—Peter is most likely to go to Voldemort after he escapes, if he is still alive—is that so?"

After a few seconds, Dumbledore said: "You and I both know that he is very likely to be alive... No matter where he is or what form he is in - the incident with the Sorcerer's Stone is a one-time event for us." Alarm bell."

After a moment of silence, Su Fu suddenly said, "Have you found Mr. Ogden?"

"Not yet, I've been busy with other things these days."

"...What if he's already dead?"

"It's not good news for us."

Su Fu looked up at the semi-green and semi-withered maple leaves on the branches. Soon after, they would burst into bright red and bright colors, and then dissipate their fatigue, be crushed into the dust and mud, and die in this life.

The alternation of new and old is just like life, old age, sickness and death.

She reached out to catch a fallen leaf, and said, "I still want to ask again, how do you view death?"

Dumbledore replied to her with an understatement——

"No big deal."

……

After more than half a year of tug-of-war, the Wizengamot finally believed that Sirius was innocent, and the murderer was Peter Pettigrew, who is still at large.

The acquittal of Sirius was a long-time good news for those on his side, so everyone discussed to have a party to celebrate in the evening.

The place is in the old house of the Black family in Grimmauld Square. It has been cleaned up since they came to London to fight a lawsuit. People often live in it. Now that Sirius has been acquitted, the place has become popular again.

It was Mrs. Weasley who prepared the ingredients for the party. Several children also followed after obtaining Dumbledore's approval because today was the last court session. There were also several members of the Order of the Phoenix. To Su Fu's surprise, , Severus actually stayed behind.

"Dumbledore strongly urged me to stay," he frowned, "I don't know what he wants to do."

"He just wants to be more lively," Su Fu patted him on the shoulder, "Stop keeping a straight face, it's a great thing."

Severus snorted coldly.

Su Fu shook his head, and went to help Mrs. Weasley cook.

It happened that Tonks was there too, but Mrs. Weasley looked at her with a forbearing look, and when she saw Su Fu coming in, she immediately let out a long sigh of relief, and said loudly: "Su, you came at the right time, Dora, we If you need to cook a few Chinese dishes with Su, I won’t bother you!”

Tonks took away his wand regretfully, and muttered, "Don't call me Nymphadora..."

"Okay, okay," Mrs. Weasley agreed, "go talk to Remus and the others, my dear, the two of us are enough here."

Mrs. Weasley is good at housework, and the food she cooks is particularly delicious, so even if Su Fu is standing by, she can only act as a pot-carrier.

She skillfully prepared all kinds of food, while saying: "This time it's all thanks to you, Su, you saved Sirius..."

"Without Dumbledore and the materials you collected, I wouldn't be able to convince those great magicians," Su Fu shrugged, "Everyone worked hard."

Mrs. Weasley giggled: "Yes, Arthur even asked his student roommate to help... By the way, it will be the Quidditch World Cup in a while, you must go - I heard Bill say , you once taught him how to keep goal, and he was full of praise for your skills and experience."

"I should go," Su Fu said with a frown, "but I will go to the United States after the summer vacation. I hope I can come back in time."

"Going to the United States? Is there any special business?"

Su Fu said silently: "Find me...boyfriend."

"Huh?" Mrs. Weasley was surprised, and turned her head to look at her, her light-colored pupils reflected the rose-colored shiny copper utensils in the kitchen, the dim lights, and Su Fu's young figure between the lights.

"No wonder Arthur said that you feel more lively than before," she laughed, "Love can change a person."

"Really..." Su Fu also agreed with a smile.

"It is a good thing that you wish to come back to London."

Su Fu frowned slightly.

It seems that very few people know the real reason for her return to London.

"Ah, I forget about business when I'm chatting," Mrs. Weasley said happily, "We just talked about the Quidditch World Cup - Arthur has already found an acquaintance, and he asked for an extra ticket for you. I hope you won't find it superfluous, after all, your connections must be much stronger than Arthur's..."

"Of course not," Su Fu immediately agreed, "Thank you very much——"

Just as he was talking, Severus quietly poked his head in: "Dumbledore has something to tell you."

After saying a word, he floated away quietly again.

Su Fu wiped his hands, and walked out of the kitchen with his wand in his hands.

There was a circle of people sitting around the long table in the dining room. Sirius was full of joy, and he was talking to Harry and the others, talking happily. The twins of the Weasley family were guessing something to decide something, and Wei Mr. Sly was chatting with Lupine and a few other members of the Order.

It was a lively scene.

Dumbledore turned sideways from the table and whispered to her: "Just now, a warning from Ms. Burns [Note 1]..."

He handed over a neat piece of parchment to Su Fu.

Su Fu didn't even look at it and threw it into the fireplace next to it.

Tongues of fire licked the flimsy pages.In an instant, it turned into ashes and fell silent.

Dumbledore shook his head and sighed.

"Ms. Burns also reminded you out of good intentions. As the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, she would take a lot of risks in doing so," he said slowly, "You know, we made a big commotion this time. It's a good idea, especially for you, to appear in court to defend Sirius in person."

"The Ministry of Magic will take into account my achievements in the past few years, so nothing will happen for the time being." Su Fu narrowed his eyes, "Unless they find solid evidence, I will still be Frank."

"I advise you to be careful," Severus said suddenly and coldly, "You can't be so lucky all the time, there are many people who know you - our director is one of them."

"Susan was a clerk when I was tried."

"So you still remember that you went to court." Severus said sarcastically, "I hope you remember the reason for that time."

"A peaceful social environment can also breed such boring and outrageous things," Su Fu said coldly, "Instead of racking my brains and pretending that I am a Death Eater, it is better to investigate whether Voldemort is dead or alive. "

"I reminded you a long time ago, but no one believed it," Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Voldemort's defeat is just an illusion—"

"Albus!" shrieked a trembling voice from the table, "Don't say that name!"

Dumbledore gestured noncommittally, looked around, and asked in confusion: "Why didn't Alastor [Note 2] come?"

"I don't know... Hey, don't worry about it, he has such a weird temper, it's not normal for him to come."

"Don't worry about Mad-Eye at all, maybe he's going to catch some dark wizard again..."

Severus stared at Su Fu and said, "Did you meet him today?"

"Who?"

"Moody."

Su Fu nodded silently.

"He's not easy to dismiss," Severus said.

"I've been trying to convince him," put in Dumbledore, "that Alastor is not a man of right and wrong."

"Let him go," Su Fu said, looking at the chandelier on the ceiling. "This year is the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament. It's normal for the Ministry of Magic to be sensitive."

"What did you just say?" Fred came out of nowhere, "Aside from the World Cup, is there another word?"

George chimed in: "A tie, with the Quidditch World Cup, what would it be?"

Su Fu smiled: "Good at grammar? Before the final exam, write a thesis on the birth of the fire ash snake, 12 inches of paper, no blank lines."

Fred said in a daze, "I'm not at school now..."

"But no matter where I am, I will be your teacher," Su Fu continued to smile, "By the way, if you don't finish writing, you won't be allowed to take the final exam."

Fred and George wailed, Su Fu turned his head and saw Ron and Harry secretly laughing, and Hermione seemed to be trying to hold back her serious expression, but she couldn't hold back in the end.

Su Fu smiled and shook his head.

The atmosphere of the party at night was very good, even Severus was ordered by Su Fu to tell a cold joke. Of course, this cold joke was not a cold joke in the true sense, but when he told it, everyone at the table stared straight at him. Staring at him, while his expressionless eyes were cold, as usual in class.

So a very ordinary little joke that anyone can catch on his tongue was told by him as a nonsense.

Sirius smiled from ear to ear the whole time, like a child, which shows how important it is to him to regain his freedom.

The next day, a large group of them rushed back to Hogwarts, making the carpet in front of Professor McGonagall's fireplace full of ashes.

As the end of the term was approaching, the atmosphere in the whole school was tense. Every time Su Fu passed by the corridor, there would be students who shook their heads and chanted words, or gathered together and whispered and flipped through books and notes.

Her Defense Against the Dark Arts exam schedule was very early this year, and she finished the first exam. She bundled the papers together and put them in a box, and then graded them when she was about to take them to the United States to find Sherlock.

Sirius made a special trip to tell her to come back before mid-August, otherwise she might not be able to catch up with the Quidditch World Cup.

Su Fu packed up the things in the office, greeted Dumbledore, and returned to London.

Because she plans to fly to the United States, if she uses magic such as the International Floo Network or long-distance apparition, she needs to report to the Magical Congress of the United States within 24 hours[Note 3]. She thinks this is quite troublesome, so it is better to use ordinary people Way to transit, as long as she doesn't use magic, nothing will happen.

Sherlock said that he was going to the United States to investigate the case. When he first arrived in Chicago, he would call her every now and then. Slowly, the calls and text messages became less and less, and then they disappeared.

If Juan Juan hadn't brought back his reply letter, Su Fu would really have thought that this guy had lost contact.

This half year is quite a busy half year for everyone.

For example, Sherlock's trip to Chicago took half a year.

For example, Su Fu ran between the formal court of the Ministry of Magic in London and Hogwarts, and completed the work of defending and teaching without any flaws—it was not an easy job.

Another example is McCoff, the public opinion turmoil caused by the theft of bank deposits has finally passed, and Sherlock also helped him find out the money stolen by the organization called McDougall, and all the stolen money obtained by smuggling and counterfeiting currency. It has become one of the sources of funds to support the operation of the experimental base in Ghost Valley.

In other words, McDougal's biggest employer is Krischel.

Freya's intelligence-gathering ability is unquestionable. She noticed McDougall at the beginning, and then she specifically dug up Moriarty's information from a small criminal gang, and took some effort to find him. Their so-called cooperation is Freya. Rhea paid her money, and Moriarty helped her complete some investigations and steal the classified document.

But Moriarty wasn't a good collaborator, as Freya later found out, and he was more interested in having fun in his own way—

For example, make one case after another to involve Sherlock and let him play the investigation game with himself.

The Valley of Ghosts disappeared from the world, and everything related to it was destroyed, only the document was still stolen, which is why Mycroft supported Sherlock to continue the investigation abroad for so long.

Recently, he was so busy that he had to make an appointment for a phone call until one day later. Su Fu couldn't laugh or cry and was very helpless about this. Where would she go to find out about Sherlock's whereabouts.

In the end, she simply bought a plane ticket to New York, left a message to Sherlock's voicemail—I don't know if he will see it—and then boarded to New York with her test papers in the box. s plane.

The author has something to say: Wan Geng, do what you say, am I handsome, and the manual is funny.

I'm still very busy, so I don't know the next update time, please forgive me.

But it shouldn’t be as long as this time. The reason why I didn’t update for half a month is that I have to pack my things when I change places, and secondly, I started to have allergies when I came to this poor place. There are a lot of welts on my arms and legs, and they fade away. I can't stop at all. The worst thing is that the doctor said that this thing is caused by my physical constitution, and I can only wait for it to go down by itself. I really have to live with a smile.

Moreover, the various conditions here are very poor, so Shentu Juanjuan has often laughed at me for fleeing famine recently, okay, let’s live with a smile again→_→
