[Comprehensive British and American] Guide for wizards to eat and wait to die

On Emma's left stood Dumbledore and Snape, and on the right stood Edward and Eva, not to mention a group of bodyguards and Aurors behind.

"I thought we were just going home, why..." Emma turned to Edward, looking at him questioningly.

"Oh no, my dear, although you are dead on the surface, you still have some formalities to go through to quit the magic world." Edward patted her on the shoulder reassuringly.

"What? Formalities? Where? I thought we were in London now?"

"We are in London." Dumbledore's old but majestic voice suddenly came, "We are about to sign an agreement with your Muggle government."

"Wait a minute, the Muggle government? The government already knows about the existence of wizards!?" Emma always thought that the Ministry of Magic's secrecy work was impeccable.

"Although the wizarding world has been trying its best to erase the traces left by wizards in the Muggle world, the development speed of Muggle technology has completely surpassed our imagination. So when they found out, we immediately signed a secret agreement with the government of the Muggle world Of course, it is also part of the agreement to bring wizards who quit the wizarding world to the Muggle government to register."

"So Voldemort knows about this?"

"This matter has been carried out secretly in recent years, and the main contacts are me and Severus, so the answer to your question is, no, he doesn't know." Dumbledore had a puzzled smile on his face.

Emma almost laughed out loud when she heard this.

If Voldemort knew that his arch-enemy had signed an agreement with the Muggles whom he claimed to exterminate, he would be surprised how "surprised" he would be.

"Okay, here it is"

They stopped in front of a magnificent building.

Dumbledore motioned for others to wait outside, and he and Snape took Emma in together.

They were quickly approached by enthusiastic receptionists.

"Is it Mr. Dumbledore? Mr. Holmes has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow me"

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Walking in the government building involves constantly entering various complicated corridors and rooms, and facing various inspections. If it were not for the presence of Dumbledore and Snape, it is estimated that Emma's underwear would be searched to the bottom.But Emma also saw Dumbledore and Snape take off their wizard robes for the first time.

At last, they finally came to a very heavy door.

"Then I will just take you here, and Mr. Holmes is inside. I hope you have a pleasant talk."

The receptionist smiled politely at them.

Emma nodded, and then pushed the door open.

A man was watching them from behind a solid wood desk.

"Mr. Dumbledore, Mr. Snape, long time no see." The man had a polite and distant smile on his face, "This must be Miss Emma Lyon, nice to meet you"

Emma nodded.

"Gentlemen, Miss Lyon, please take a seat. I am the person in charge of your project. My name is Mycroft Holmes."

"Project? What project?"

Emma looked at everyone's tacit understanding with a confused face.

"Well, I see, despite its secret codename, our government calls it the 'Project to Integrate Wizards into Muggle Society'"

Another grin spread across Mycroft's face, and he looked at Emma.

"Your grandfather was one of the first practitioners of this project"

"But I was born in the Muggle world, so I don't need to integrate into the Muggle society at all!"

"It's 'reintegration'. We have enough reasons to believe that as a wizard who is accustomed to using magic, it is very likely to cause harm to other non-magic users in an unconscious state. In order to prevent this from happening, and to alleviate your magic Ministry’s burden, this plan came into being.”

"Yes, we have been secretly cooperating with the British government on this project for many years, and we have achieved some good results." Dumbledore looked at Emma, ​​"If you are ready, let's start."

"Start? What are you doing?" Emma smelled something ominous.

"Let me do it." Mycroft took out a document from under the table, "You need to sign this agreement, which contains many questions about your future placement, whether it is reasonable or not to use magic, and some ...Let's put it this way, a sensitive issue."

Emma felt a headache from looking at the thick dozen sheets of paper. She took the document and flipped through two pages hastily.

But in just these two pages, she discovered some serious problems.

"It mentioned above that in the first two years, the British government has the right to require me to be summoned at any time, and I am not allowed to leave the country. Any long-distance travel needs to be reported first... and why do I need two contacts? What do I do? Do you have to be notified twice? What is the difference between these and house arrest?"

"Miss Lyon, we understand your doubts very well. I also admit that the clauses are somewhat, uh, inconvenient, but let's face it, this is a sensitive period after all--"

"Wait, what sensitive period?" Emma frowned.

Mycroft crossed his fingers and propped his chin.

"As far as we know, your magic world has not been very peaceful recently. If you are a member of populism, what kind of consequences will it cause... Then I don't need to say more."

"What kind of populism? And politics and so on sound like a headache to me, so you can't relax this condition a bit? House arrest in disguise is too scary!" Emma almost slapped the table and got up.

"Miss Lyon, I'm just a small employee of the British government, and the rules and regulations and contract conditions of all projects are not formulated by me." However, Mycroft remained unmoved.

"Emma, ​​Mr. Holmes also acts according to the system." Dumbledore finally said, "All wizards have to go through this process. It's just that the conditions for the past two years are a bit harsher."

"Mr. Dumbledore, I know you are one of the best figures in your magical world, but please understand me. We are only thinking about our citizens and other citizens in the world. If Miss Lyon does not sign this agreement, we will not measures to provide appropriate protection”

"Protection? Why do I need protection? Can't I go home?"

The more Emma listened, the more inexplicable she became.

"I'm afraid this is not possible. If you look carefully at this document, you should be able to find that the number of times you have contacted your family in the past two years is also strictly controlled by us."

"This is an infringement of my personal privacy! I won't sign it anymore! I won't sign it even if I die!"

"Miss Lyon----" Mycroft dragged his tone, sounding full of threats, "Believe me, I don't want you to sign this agreement either, after all, the government has less funding for special projects this year. Wouldn't want to waste a penny on your frivolous project. But I've heard about your situation, do you think you really have any other options?"

Emma wanted to refute him, but she was surprised to find that she had no reason.

"And your 'heroic deeds' made you more than a dozen enemies in the wizarding world, and you lacked the most important amulet. Mr. Dumbledore must have given you over because he couldn't protect you well." Ours. We know that you lived in the Muggle world until you were thirteen, and you are a British citizen yourself, so it is only fitting that the British government take over your affairs."

"But there's no need for me to stay in London, my family has the ability to protect me..." Emma said weakly.

"Yes, I believe the Lyon family has the ability to invite some top mercenaries or bodyguards, but what if it is an army?"

"Who will line up an army to kill me..." There were a few huge beads of sweat on Emma's head.

"I heard that you had some trouble with the ultra-nationalist leader of the wizarding world. He wanted to imprison you, but you escaped. So now let's make an unrealistic but not impossible hypothesis. If If he finds out that you are not dead, how likely is it that he will get angry and catch you?"

Emma knew that Mycroft was right.No matter what reason Voldemort locked her up that day, if he knew that she had not only escaped but was still alive, according to Voldemort's preoccupied character, she didn't even dare to think about what would happen.

Emma was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

"Only two years of house arrest, right, okay, I'll sign it"

"Yes, you can regain your freedom after two years, and in some innocuous cases, you can even continue to use magic----" Noticing Emma's suddenly lost expression, Mycroft Te quickly added, "Of course, it's okay to live as a completely ordinary person. Besides, Mr. Dumbledore suggested that because he is very busy, Mr. Snape should be your contact person in the wizarding world. As for your contact in the Muggle world, although we have selected someone, the final target is yet to be discussed... Do you have any other questions?"

"Yes! What should I do in London these two years? Continue to study or find a job?"

"I'm glad you raised this issue. Considering your age, we discussed this issue with your parents. They unanimously decided to let you continue your education. Due to the relevant treaty, you will go to H University to continue your higher education. But due to You have been away from the Muggle world for a long time, so we recommend that you choose a major that requires relatively low basic education. Of course, you can also make up for the Muggle high school courses to choose your favorite major. The choice is yours."

"No, no, no." Emma waved her hand, "I just choose a major that is not too difficult. I don't have high requirements for my life, so I can do whatever I want."

"Well, if you have no other questions, you can sign." Mycroft handed over the pen on the table.

Emma took the pen and hesitated for a moment, but finally wrote her name.

It's only two years, Emma comforted herself, she shouldn't be too sad.

The author has something to say: Regarding the timeline issue, let me explain in detail

According to the time of the British drama, s2 (if I remember correctly) mentioned Peanuts 37, and then assuming that the British drama and reality are parallel time, then it is 2012 Peanuts 37.Peanut Sherlock was 2 years old, so Sherlock was 35 at the time.

So continue to calculate Sherlock's birth date to be 1977.

Continue to look at the timeline of our article.

Harry’s year of birth is 1980.Emma was 2 years older than him in 1978.

So it is calculated that Sherlock is 1 year older than Emma in this article.

This is why I said at the time that Sherlock and Emma are about the same age in this article.

Alright, next chapter Sherlock will appear~
