Sherlock roams the streets of Sheffield in a pair of short-sleeved shorts and flat glasses.

The Patronus Charm is an independent individual magic, and it has no way to transmit the senses that it sees and hears to Sherlock in real time.

But the position of the Patronus can still be perceived, and after canceling the Patronus Charm, you can know what it found during the time it was tracking.

Instead of taking the initiative to follow the wizard in the trench coat, Sherlock deliberately kept a corner away from him, making sure that he wouldn't even appear in his sight.

The patron saint of crows has been gliding in the sky, looking down at the wizard from above, and has been following him around the three streets nearby.

After discovering that the wizard had wandered around the three nearby streets three times in a row, Sherlock could conclude that this was definitely not an idle wizard passing by, but one of the Death Eaters or Aurors.

He is now on a patrol mission, and the scope of the mission is within these three streets.

After knowing this, Sherlock walked directly into a cafe on the street, ordered a cup of coffee and sat down near the window, waiting for the wizard's next move.

The time went on like this until evening, and after going around the street a dozen times, the wizard finally had his next move.

He began to walk out of the three streets that he had been patrolling, and then proceeded along the main road, as if preparing to leave.

Sensing the change in the direction of the Patronus' movement, Sherlock also walked out of the cafe.

He did not immediately follow his Patronus, but looked around in a casual manner, and finally at the intersection, he saw a woman with a small wooden stick in her hand, a ponytail and a baseball cap. .

This is also a wizard, and she is on duty with the wizard who just patrolled.

Sherlock's gaze only paused for a moment on the witch's body, then turned his head away as if nothing had happened, and then walked in the direction the Patronus followed.

With such a strict patrol system, it is very unlikely that they are Death Eaters. The wizards and witches patrolling here are most likely Aurors affiliated to the Ministry of Magic, and they are exactly the target of Sherlock's trip!

He followed behind his patron saint and walked slowly along the path that the wizard who had left had walked.

But at this time, Sherlock's heart was far less leisurely than he showed. He was praying that the wizard's base would not be too far away, and he would not use Apparition to leave directly, so he just kept walking back.

Sherlock's prayer in his heart seems to have played a role. It is also possible that this place is located in the urban area of ​​Sheffield, and there are a little more Muggles around. The wizard really did not use Apparition, so he walked forward like this. After walking for about 15 minutes, I finally walked into a small courtyard.

The silver crow spread its wings like this, gliding to the wall of a small two-story building in the yard. Through the gap in the curtain behind the window glass, it could see everything in the living room.

Nelson, who had just finished his patrol today, walked into the Auror's temporary station in Sheffield.

This is a small courtyard they rented from a Muggle couple. It is located in the center of Sheffield. As long as any Aurors scattered around the city discover something, the people gathered at the station can support the past as soon as possible. .

He pushed the door and walked into the living room of the house.

There were two wizards and a witch standing inside. On the sofa there was a man with a crippled leg, which was replaced with a wooden prosthesis. One of his two eyes was obviously abnormal, and he was running around in circles. wizard.

"I haven't found anything today. I haven't even found the ghosts of other wizards except our people. Also, when will we be able to use Apparition, Captain?"

Nelson began to complain as soon as he entered the living room.

"I have already walked for a day, and now I have to walk back to the station from that street, and my legs will be lost!"

Moody's voice was hoarse and quiet.

"It will take another day for the Disappearance Spell to take effect. The movement of using Apparition directly is too big, and someone on the Death Eater side will notice it."

Hearing him say this, Nelson complained a few words and said nothing more.

Among the group of Aurors gathered in Sheffield, Moody was the supreme commander, and all were to obey his orders.

Nelson turned and went upstairs to rest, while Moody continued to listen to the witch's report.

"The Aurors at York are led by Tris. According to their latest information, no Death Eaters have been found in York. Others include Leeds, Harrogate, Barnsley and Don No news from Kirst."

Moody frowned.

"Not just the Death Eaters, what about Eddie?"

The witch shook her head.

"We didn't get any news from Eddie either. Our people in these five cities all left the Auror's universal mark, but we didn't get a response from Eddie..."

Speaking of which, she showed an expression of hesitating to speak.

Moody said in his hoarse voice.

"If you want to say something, just say it."

The witch said hesitantly.

"Is it possible, I mean is it possible, as the ministry said, Eddie has become a traitor and has fallen to the Dark Lord's side, or he has always been an undercover agent on the Dark Lord's side. ?"

Moody was silent for a moment, then he spoke slowly.

"Eddie is not an Auror in my team, but his talent and will are recognized by everyone in the department. If such a wizard really wants to fall to the Dark Lord, he will not choose to betray until now. And if he's an undercover agent, then I can't make a conclusion until I catch him!"

A wizard standing next to him couldn't help but speak.

"But the above said, after seeing Eddie, don't keep your hands, it doesn't matter if you live or die..."

"What?" Moody's voice suddenly became louder, "Even in the battle with the Death Eaters, we didn't use the Death-Eating Charm, do you want to use this spell to target the betrayer's comrade? !"

He tapped the floor under his feet heavily with his walking stick.

"In the nearly ten years of fighting against the Dark Lord believers, what kind of traitor has I not seen! Those who are not firm in their own beliefs can be dissuaded by me from the brink of swaying, and I don't believe it. Such a gifted wizard like Eddie is so willing to degenerate! Not to mention the words that come from the mouths of those **** who rely on a good father in a high position to make a fortune in the command!"

The two wizards and a witch standing around were terrified by Moody's words. They looked at each other nervously, and then persuaded Moody.

"Don't talk nonsense, Captain Moody. Among those who finally returned from Wales, there are still people who rely on their own abilities, such as Crouch."

Moody snorted.

"I admit that the director's son may be a little capable, but for those other people, if it weren't for the special period now, plus their good father's request, how could the headquarters accept these garbage..."

Just when he said this, his magic fake eye suddenly turned around, and finally the eyeball inside suddenly settled on the window blocked by the curtain!

Before the two wizards and one witch could react, Moody suddenly pulled out his wand!

"Passed out!"

The tip of the wand precisely aimed at the glass covered by the curtain, and the red beam completed the transition from the tip of the wand to the target in an instant!

"boom!"

There was a loud cracking sound of glass!

Countless transparent fragments were scattered everywhere, and at the same time, the other three Aurors who were usually well-trained responded quickly, raising their wands and rushing towards the window sill where the glass had been blown to pieces!

But it was empty, as if no creatures had appeared.

"What did you find? Captain."

Still holding his wand upright in front of him, the male Auror who did not let down his guard calmly asked.

Moody's artificial eye was still turning, as if looking for the target he had just discovered.

"A bird, like a patron saint!"

......

At the same time that Moody cast the stun spell on Sherlock's Patronus, the Patronus canceled the spell and dissipated in the air, which made the Auror who opened the curtain to observe and found nothing.

And just after the Patronus disappeared, Sherlock knew what it had seen and heard.

There is no doubt that the group of wizards he encountered were Aurors. They should have come to Sheffield two days in advance, and they did not just focus on this one city, leaving staff around Sheffield.

With such a large number of Aurors, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Ministry of Magic's Auror Command is full of people.

Moody's magic eye is very powerful, not only can see some things that ordinary people can't see, but also can see through the wall.

That's how Sherlock's Patronus was discovered.

But even if he was discovered, he had already obtained enough intelligence.

In addition to encircling the Death Eaters here, the Aurors are also looking for an Auror named Eddie.

They suspected that the Auror had defected to Voldemort, but Sherlock felt that the name Eddie was inexplicably familiar. He seemed to have seen it somewhere. clear.

The name Eddie is not very special in the UK. There are not ten or eight of the wizards in the UK named Eddie, and they can count them with their fingers.

So Sherlock didn't have much trouble with the fact that he had heard this name.

Discovering the Auror's movements was already a great gain for him. Even if Moody noticed signs of being spied on, Sherlock did not intend to keep staring at the Auror's station in Sheffield.

He needs to keep an eye on the Aurors patrolling the streets. If the Aurors have any action, then these patrolling Aurors must be the first to act.

Sherlock's main purpose was to get familiar with the Ministry of Magic in this battle between the Aurors and the Death Eaters, and it was best to help them before making a request to join.

Therefore, he will not monitor the Auror station any more in the future, otherwise if it is self-defeating and misunderstood, it will go against Sherlock's idea.

After returning to the hotel where he lived, he summoned the Patronus again to stare at the Aurors patrolling the streets.

He was not idle in the hotel either.

Sherlock wrote down the soul-protection magic he saw in Sally's underground study in a notebook.

Of course he doesn't have the ability to remember, but as long as this kind of magic is understood, it doesn't need to be repeated exactly, and the meaning of the expression is roughly the same.

Soul magic is not difficult to understand and easy to learn. The most difficult part is to create this kind of magic and use it.

The protection magic created by Sally is actually very limited.

Not only must the protector have the ultimate love for the protected, but when the magic takes effect, the protected soul must still be born.

That is to say, this is basically a magic created by the mother for the child, otherwise, a newborn child, except his parents, who would have such extreme love for him?

Therefore, although such magic is powerful, it has absolutely no value for most wizards to learn.

Sherlock intended to study it entirely because of Snape.

Well, yes, even if he didn't want to admit it, he did feel that Snape was a little pitiful.

He may not be a good person in the past, but after Lily's death, he has been doing his due diligence for Dumbledore's plan, and he is always ready to continue to be an undercover agent after Voldemort returns.

After watching him be rejected by Lily and crying so badly~lightnovelpub.net~ and drinking so much wine, Sherlock thought that if he had a chance, he might be able to drill through the loopholes in history and help this ungrateful A frustrated middle-aged man.

Helping him make Lily change her mind and fly with him is definitely impossible. This is a serious violation of history, and other than doing things that violate morality and conscience, Sherlock doesn't think Lily will accept Snape again.

So he just thought, maybe there is a way to make Lily not die so completely under Voldemort's hands, and there is a little chance of being rescued.

There's also a bit of a willingness to help Harry in it.

Even though he may have met Blake now and did not deny Blake's love for Harry, with his character, Sherlock still doesn't think he can be a qualified elder.

If in the future, Harry and his mother can meet again, or live for a while, this will be a great spiritual relief for him.

The only way Sherlock can think of now is that only the original owner's mother Sally left behind, and it is very likely that Lily will also use the soul protection magic on Harry in the future.
