"Voldemort longed for immortality."

"We have to admit that he is a very good wizard. But unfortunately, too much obsession tends to confuse the human mind. In terms of how to live longer, I have to say that in my opinion, he is walking on a wrong path. On such a sensible path."

Dumbledore didn't talk too much about the means by which the Dark Lord wants to achieve his goals. He skipped this topic and went back to the original concern: "A divination at Hogwarts Master Sybill Trelawney prophesied some time ago, 'The one who has the power to conquer the Dark Lord is approaching, born in a family that has defeated the Dark Lord three times, born at the end of the seventh month. The Dark Lord The head marks him as his arch-nemesis, but he possesses powers the Dark Lord does not understand. One must die at the hands of the other, for both cannot live, only one survives'."

Holmes commented calmly: "The key point is very vague, and it doesn't sound very credible."

Dumbledore was noncommittal: "The prophecy itself is not important. The important thing is that Voldemort learned about the prophecy from some sources, believed it and planned to act first."

"Is this Ms. Trelawney loyal to Hogwarts?"

"Of course. My personal tendency is to trust her."

"Then, since the news has been leaked..." Holmes smiled slightly, "Is there a ghost among you?"

"No, it's just a coincidence." The old wizard denied it. "On the other hand, Hogwarts is just a school. We can't choose what kind of path the students will take after graduation, and professors can also choose their own path after graduation." After resigning, do what you want to do."

——Explain subconsciously.So the person who leaked the news is likely to be a student or professor who overheard the prophecy, or something in between, so... the third possibility is that the graduate student came to the school to seek a job?

Voldemort received word that the lucky spectator was leaning towards the Death Eaters.

Seeking the interests of yourself and your boss by secretly eavesdropping is not an aboveboard person.

Dumbledore refuses to name the enemy, is he defending him/her?

Why does the head of the Order of the Phoenix defend a Death Eater or would-be Death Eater?

Because of the status of students or teachers?Or is there another secret?

And where is the leaker himself now?

"Sorry for the abruptness of my question. Mr. Dumbledore." Holmes leaned forward slightly to better observe the other person's expression. "Do you still have any relatives alive?"

"Why are you asking this?" Dumbledore frowned, "Is it related to our conversation?"

Although he showed resistance, he did not feel guilty. It seemed that the wizard was not a relative of the headmaster of Hogwarts.Holmes had no intention of inquiring into the detailed family situation of the other party. After confirming his guess, he apologized kindly: "I'm sorry, it's just my personal question. I offended you. Let's move on to the next question. The situation in the wizarding world is very tense right now." , then may I ask whether you two will make this kind of war spread to the next generation? I mean, is it possible for Hogwarts to become a battlefield?"

"I am trying my best to avoid this possibility." Dumbledore said calmly, "The school is a pure land for children. As long as I am still sitting as the headmaster, I will not let Voldemort achieve his goals by manipulating the students. The school will not It should be turned into an arena for political games."

"But what if the teachers have this tendency? You can't make all the talented wizards feel peaceful, right?"

"Mr. Holmes." Dumbledore stared at him sharply, "No matter where you heard the rumors, although I can't guarantee that every decision made by everyone in Hogwarts is correct. Yes, but as long as one goes astray—he will never step into the school again now! What are you questioning? If you want to convince me to suspect innocent people, at least you must rely on evidence!"

"I'm terribly sorry." Holmes continued to maintain his polite smile, not paying any attention to the freezing atmosphere.

If the whistleblower is not a student or teacher at the school, then it is a job seeker.

Dumbledore has reasons to defend him or her.

Not because of emotion, then it comes from the exchange of interests.

Whistleblowers are Death Eaters.

But... he/she is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix!

"You have a spy among the Death Eaters!" Heroic Spirit said suddenly, ignoring Dumbledore's stunned expression and continued quickly, "He or she notified you of our coming to the wizarding world, but at the same time It was also this person who told Voldemort the prophecy! Why was such important content leaked out? Judging from your previous words, it was not ordered by the Order of the Phoenix. It only shows that this person was still loyal to the Dark Lord at the time, but Voldemort did not hesitate to turn against him at the moment when he was about to strike. If what I said earlier is correct, the reason behind this must be very important, let me guess..."

"The prophecy says 'the one with the power to conquer the Dark Lord is approaching, born into a family that defeated the Dark Lord three times' Interesting, can I make that assumption? There is a Whistleblower love interest in this family Presumably, no matter a man or a woman, when facing feelings, they often take actions that are inconsistent with the usual. On the other hand, I personally tend to think that this is a man. No offense, regardless of age, men are hard-pressed when they ask for it. When women are begging, they usually show more compassion, which is the instinct between the opposite sex. But Mr. Dumbledore, you seem... not to have this kind of emotion."

"..."

"Presumably the failure of job hunting at Hogwarts brought this gentleman a serious blow to his career?" Holmes picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea. "From this perspective, it may be considered as important to know the prophecy and inform the boss. Is it a blessing in disguise and seize the opportunity to rise to the top?"

"...Ah, to be honest, I'm very surprised now." Dumbledore did not hide his astonishment. His anger caused by the heroic spirit's rude question disappeared before, and he stretched out his old hand and stroked it. He will have a thick beard, and the gray beard will keep shaking with the trembling of his lips, "Amazing, very amazing deduction. If this is an exam, you have already got full marks."

This is probably a disguised acknowledgment that the Heroic Spirit's deduction is correct.Holmes made a little joke: "The professor has won the award."

"Well, if that's the case, then I'll make an assumption." The old man smiled and said, imitating the detective's tone, "Did your language in Diagon Alley really come from the power of magic? Or was it just relying on wisdom? Logical reasoning?"

"As you can see, it's the latter." Holmes said. "I'm glad you know the word logical reasoning. It seems to me that wizards seldom pay attention to this aspect of knowledge."

"When I was young, I read a few related Muggle books because of my personal interests." The old wizard said lightly, "Although you have learned the truth, I still give my warning out of caution—please don't take The leak of this secret is not only related to the life of the spy himself, but also closely related to the current crisis in the wizarding world."

"I promise," said Holmes. "If you don't believe me, trade us another secret."

He glanced at the Master who was sitting beside him listening: "The three people in front of you are not wizards at all."

"Actually, we are magicians from another world." Lixiang, who had been silent for a long time and provided a stage for Sherlock Holmes, finally said, "I didn't intend to disturb you, but our original goal was temporarily deadlocked, and we had to come here to find a solution. The wizarding world hopes that different power systems can be the key to unlock the door."

"Unbelievable." Dumbledore was quite calm, and did not underestimate Lixiang's right to speak because of her age.It may be because they have lived for a long time and have seen a lot, and they are not as surprised as ordinary young people. "If possible, we will try our best to help. But now that both sides have confessed their goals, I don't even know the names of both of you—so why don't you introduce yourself before continuing to discuss the business?"

"..."

"Why?" The old wizard tapped his finger on the armrest of the chair because of the long silence, and asked in surprise, "Is there any reason why you can't explain it clearly?"

"No...uh, actually not." Lixiang sighed a bit tangled, and explained under Dumbledore's interested gaze, "I'm from Japan, and my name is Fujimaru Tachika. This is Sherlock Holmes, You already know."

"As for this unreliable man with white hair, I don't know his last name, but it's easy to remember. His name is Mer..."

"Merlin's most baggy Y-fronts! James! I didn't tell you to change Harry's diaper so you could use your wand to prank on this thing! Now the whole room is smelling of- ah! The smell of suffocation!"

"...lin." Li Xiang finished the word with an innocent face, the roar of the woman upstairs continued, mixed with James Potter's begging for mercy and Sirius' laughter, "Merlin is the fattest Triangle shorts...? My God, why didn't I know that you still like to rank this kind of thing first, second or third and then spread the word?" She looked disgusted, "No wonder Artoria doesn't let you get close to Lily, hentai. "

"..."

Things have become irreversible, the magician tremblingly covered his face with his hands, his voice trembling with despair through his fingers: "I'm not I didn't, I didn't do it at all...!"
