A True Story of a Wizard's Life

Gabriel listened to Snape's tone when he talked about the theft of the moonshine grass. Although Snape only said it lightly, he couldn't hide his disgust for the weed thief.Of course, Snape didn't think that the other party was deliberately stealing grass, but he was very upset that innocent people were involved in the case.

"Well, your luck is not very good. I read in the newspaper that Jack the Ripper has some mental problems. He must have run away at the end of his life. Then the Muggle Repelling Curse will not work on him."

Speaking of this, Gabriel seemed to suddenly think of something, her heart skipped a beat, she was really a little unresponsive!

She didn't know where Holmes' moonshine grass came from before, and she never thought about finding out who the unlucky wizard who was hit by Jack the Ripper was. After all, there are many wizards living in the Muggle world in London, but Not too little.

Why did I make a mistake here!Gabriel regretted it in her heart. She should have thought more about it. Even if there were wizards living in the Muggle world, how many wizards could plant moonshine grass, but Snape couldn't be anyone.

Because when she saw the moonshine grass in the pocket of Sherlock Holmes' suit, she made a decision instantly. This decision would definitely implicate the wizard who planted the moonshine grass. snape.

Thinking of this, Gabriel asked abruptly, "Snape, haven't you considered changing your place of residence? In fact, it's better to grow potions in a sparsely populated suburban area. The Muggle Repelling Curse is not a panacea."

It's not that Snape didn't think about changing places to live. After someone jumped over the wall in the middle of the night, he observed that there were always strangers coming and going in this area. Those people seemed to be sent by the government to investigate the problem.Snape was not as ignorant of Muggle things as many wizards who grew up in the wizarding world, but he didn't know everything clearly.He could only speculate that it was because a vicious serial killer broke into here, so the police still had some follow-up investigations after catching the murderer.

Do you want to change a place to live?Given that it was only four months before he went to Hogwarts, Snape had no intention of changing his residence.Because even as a wizard, it is impossible to ignore things like grocery shopping and cooking.

The trivial things in life, Snape didn't worry about them for many years, because during the years when he was a teacher at Hogwarts, these small things were arranged by the school elves.At that time, there would be a lot of big troubles, such as little Potter, Voldemort, regret for Lily's death, etc., and he didn't worry about these trivial lives at all. It's just that he came to this era, poor and white, his body shrank, and he was single. Don't worry about these little things.

The place where he lives now is very convenient, and there are no dangerous things around. Even if he comes into contact with more Muggles, it is a bit inconvenient to use magic, but he can bear it.

In fact, living in the Muggle world is not necessarily inconvenient, but if you go back to Diagon Alley and find a hotel to live in, it will be inconvenient to make potions and grow some herbs.

It's just that all these conveniences were based on the absence of special circumstances. Gabriel's question was so abrupt that Snape didn't believe that she had a sudden whim. "what have you done!"

Snape's words were affirmative. He immediately thought of the strange Muggles who had appeared around the house these days. What were they investigating?What else could there be? He only had one incident from the beginning to the end, and he only encountered one suspicious Muggle from the beginning to the end.

"You know the person who stole the moonshine grass, he is the one who adopted you. And you have been to Florence, I really didn't expect that there would be Muggles so interested in magic plants, and even brave enough to go directly to pull Mandela Grass!"

Gabriel wasn't surprised that Snape linked these things together, and she didn't think about hiding it from Snape, especially since she had made a decision that inadvertently implicated Snape.

"My adoptive father is a detective, and he prefers to investigate those strange things." Gabriel lovingly did not reveal Holmes' identity, "These are not too important, the key is that he is a very smart detective, I'm so smart that even if I haven't seen a wizard, I can piece together the existence of the wizarding world. Therefore, unless I leave London, it is impossible for me to hide the identity of a wizard."

Snape looked at Gabriel's suddenly serious expression. He didn't have an intuitive understanding of how smart a Muggle can be, but he had long thought that unless Gabriel suddenly disappeared from her adoptive father, when seven As soon as the month comes and the admission notice is mailed to her door, sooner or later the other party will know her identity as a wizard. "So, where is your focus?"

"I read the "Daily Prophet" that the final plan for the municipal works of Charing Cross Road was released, and the wizards cheered for the existence of the Leaky Cauldron. It's just that there are doubts in it. The Imperius Curse, one of the three forbidden spells, was used by the stubborn Muggle government."

However, Gabriel already knew that Mycroft's status in the British government was not low, and many government documents would be passed through him, and the existence of McCoff was not something that could be dealt with by the Memory Curse. Whether the spell was used or not, Muggles will not know the truth, and ordinary wizards will not know the truth.

Snape raised his eyebrows, he didn't know why Gabriel brought up the Leaky Cauldron, "So, is this related to my question just now?"

"These things should not be connected together, at least they should have nothing to do with us. But my adoptive father is too smart."

Gabriel didn't know how to face Sherlock Holmes when he returned home today, "But these things are now relevant, and our existence is very likely to make the Muggle government notice the existence of the wizarding world. Do you really think this is the case? Is it a little thing?"

Hadn't the Muggle government noticed the wizarding world before?Snape was stunned for a moment, and then his heart sank. He forgot one thing. It is 1892, not 1992. At that time, there would be contacts between the Muggle government and the Ministry of Magic, including the fight against Voldemort It also informed the Muggle government.

But what is the relationship between the current wizarding world and the Muggle world, and what is the relationship between the upper class? He has not carefully explored these things, but simply knows that wizards don't like Muggles very much.

Gabriel sighed. It was normal for Snape to ignore this point, because even though he lived in the Muggle world, wizards always looked at Muggles with some contempt, as if magic could solve many things. The theory is true in most cases, just don't meet the Sherlock Holmes brothers.

"I don't know the history of the development between Muggles and wizards, but if possible, I really don't want to be the No. 1 that exposes the wizarding world to the eyes of the Muggle government."

It's a pity that Gabriel had no other choice after seeing Moonlight Grass make that decision.

It was she who took the initiative to let Holmes discover the flaw, and let Holmes see that she knew the existence of moonshine grass. As Holmes, it was impossible not to investigate.

If the person who planted the moonshine grass was not Snape, but other wizards, then maybe there will be a series of coincidences. Wizards can get a false identity when they come to the Muggle world, but Snape really appeared for nothing. People in this world, he is a natural black household, just like Gabriel.

Two equally eccentric people and a few strange moonshine plants are enough to make the two Holmes brothers suspect those unscientific things.When it came to why Mycroft would intervene, Gabriel was sure that he would not let go of any doubts that appeared around his brother.

But letting Sherlock know and letting Mycroft know are two completely different things.

At first, Gabriel just hoped to make a psychological preparation for her adoptive father, some worlds beyond his cognition existed, and then explain the problem step by step.However, when McCoff intervened in this matter, it is very likely that the entire British government also knew about it.What if the Muggle government knew about the existence of the wizarding world?

The answer to this question cannot be answered by Snape, who lived more than a hundred years later, and Gabriel, who has forgotten many things, is even more ignorant of this history.

The two met and parted in silence this time. They felt a little uneasy. Although the Holy See did not hunt down wizards again in history, it is impossible to determine how many years and how many years have passed between the Muggle government and the Ministry of Magic. Only then did things have a peaceful coexistence situation.

Gabriel knew that the matter was caused by herself, and it was impossible for her to not have a trace of psychological burden, so her pace of going home was a little slower today.

"You're back." Holmes' expression didn't change. He just said a simple sentence, "Mycroft has been here. He just came back from a business trip to the Vatican and brought back some information about the Holy See."

Gabriel understood everything when she heard the word Holy See. Mycroft was even more capable than she thought, and he was able to get the materials of the Holy See. It still exists, but the power of the Holy See has become weaker and weaker for hundreds of years, almost to the point of extinction.The Vatican may be the last stand.Information about the Holy See must be related to wizards.

"He is so powerful that he actually asked the Pope to produce such top-secret information."

"Middle-aged fat men like Mycroft don't have that much charm. The Pope can't be fascinated by McCoff. It's all the parchment he got from ancient bookstores through some small channels."

Holmes corrected Gabriel's guess, these materials were not as important as Gabriel imagined, he pushed a few stacks of parchment in front of Gabriel, "It's already been eaten by moths, it's not important It’s just a matter of the Middle Ages. It looks like telling some far-fetched magic stories, and it’s really too fictional.”

Gabriel flipped through it casually, and it was really not the records of the Holy See, because there was no paladin power left on the parchment, and the most common Muggle materials were used from the parchment to the ink.The above is not an overly detailed history of the battle between the Holy See and wizards, but it seems to record some historical stories from the perspective of Muggles. For example, a team of knights rushed into the village and burned a witch, but the witch disappeared instantly. class of stories.

According to the logic of Holmes in the past, these stories would definitely be regarded as nonsense, but now he could not insist on his own opinion.The latest news from the Baker Street squad, they were staring at that strange gap in Charing Cross Road. Someone really disappeared there, but it still made them feel dazzled.However, these little investigators did not believe that everyone would be dazzled by such a coincidence.

"Actually, I still don't believe it." Sherlock Holmes wanted to ask Gabriel a lot, and what he wanted to ask most was whether he could see the world with his own eyes.The world of wizards only touched the tip of the iceberg, which aroused his curiosity a lot.

It's just that all the words gave way to this sentence, "Gal, tell me seriously, is that world dangerous? Are you sure you want to return to a place full of danger?"

McCoff is right, they are no longer young, and their attitudes toward the unknown have subtly changed.Curiosity eventually gave way to worry that came out of nowhere.
