Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

v1 Chapter 167: Eddie Butler

Sherlock didn't move, and directly used control magic to open the door of the guest room.

He looked at the black-haired youth who walked in, with a little playfulness in his eyes.

"Why did you come back to find me if you didn't run away at this time?"

This Auror, who is suspected to be named "Eddie", can fly far away in the chaotic scene just now. Since he doesn't want to go back to the Ministry of Magic, then going northwest means there is another place to go.

But at such a good time, he not only did not go, but instead returned to find himself.

This was a bit beyond Sherlock's expectations.

The black-haired young man did not answer Sherlock's question immediately, but stared at the position of his chest and asked without blinking.

"Have you met Amy?"

Sherlock's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked down following the dark-haired youth's eyes, and found that he had been staring at the amulet she lent him before he separated from Amy since he entered the door.

After a brief stupor, the thoughts in Sherlock's mind flashed quickly, and then he asked in a deep voice.

"Your name is Eddie Butler?"

The black-haired youth was extremely surprised that he could call out his name directly.

"Amy told you what my name was?"

His answer was basically a disguised acknowledgment that Sherlock was right.

"No, I just happened to know that the Ministry of Magic was looking for a wizard named Eddie, and the Death Eaters were looking for a man named Butler." Sherlock stared at him, "They should be looking for the same person. , and that person is you."

The dark-haired youth named Eddie looked at Sherlock for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"The people who can make Amy trust her are no ordinary characters."

Then he asked seriously.

"How is Amy now? Did you come to this city specially to help Amy find me?"

Sherlock shook his head.

"No, I'm just here to deal with some other things. I didn't expect to meet Amy's dad here at first. Amy is still at the Leaky Cauldron, and my friends are helping to watch her."

After learning that there was nothing wrong with Amy's current situation, Eddie suddenly said with a serious face.

"It might be a bit abrupt, but I still want to ask you to do me a favor."

Sherlock looked at him strangely.

"We've only met for less than a minute, you don't even know my name, do you?"

Eddie said quickly.

"Since Amy gave you the amulet I gave her, it means that she trusts you. I have no doubts about who she can trust."

His words sounded very unreasonable if they were normal, but Amy's own talent was very abnormal, so it was understandable for a father to trust his daughter who was not yet seven years old.

Eddie said, looking out the window.

At this time, there were explosions and screams in the street outside. The Muggle Repelling Charm he used before could only have some effect on the space in this hotel, and now the Death Eaters are fighting this whole Streets were attacked.

"I'm running out of time, this..."

"Just call me John."

"Okay, John." Eddie frowned. "Although it's very presumptuous, I can only ask you to help me in this situation. I want you to go to the Ministry of Magic for me to find the incumbent. The Director of the Department of Mysteries - Mrs Selwyn. Tell her that Stry was killed and that the Death Eaters got the secrets of Door 7 of the Department of Mysteries from her head!"

"Why can't you go back by yourself? Even if the Ministry of Magic misunderstands that you're on the side of the Dark Lord, you can't explain it if you go back and be censored, and you can get rid of the Death Eaters."

Sherlock said puzzled.

Just as he was questioning, a dozen sonic booms like whips hitting the air suddenly came from the sky, and Moody's angry voice also sounded in the chaos and screams.

"Hurry up and stop them! Can't spread the chaos! Block this street! Otherwise the secrecy law will be a piece of shit!"

"Old lame! I remember you!" Bella's sharp voice was extremely harsh, "Avada Suo!"

"Passed out!"

"..."

The Aurors had clearly been in contact with the Death Eaters at this time, and this was the time Sherlock had been waiting for when he came to Sheffield.

But he was not impatient, but waited for Eddie opposite to finish his words.

"You should know that there was an attack in Wales a month ago, in which four Aurors were killed by Death Eaters." Eddie was breathing hard and speaking quickly, "I was part of that operation, and I was there. There are a total of ten Aurors, that is, two Auror teams, I am the captain of one of them, and the four Aurors who died are all my subordinates!"

Sherlock frowned slightly and listened quietly.

"The operation was because the former head of the Department of Mysteries, Mrs. Stry, was attacked by the Death Eaters, and she asked magic for help, and the Ministry sent us there. But they seemed to know in advance where we were going to be. When the time comes, where will it appear when it comes?"

"Just arrived near Mrs. Stry's house, and we were attacked by the Death Eaters who had been in ambush here for a long time! Two of my men died on the spot, and in the ensuing battle, me and seven others also died. gone."

"After taking out the two Death Eaters who were chasing me, I went back to Mrs. Stry's house. The Death Eaters had left, and Mrs. Stry was dying. She told me that the Dark Lord's followers gave her a drink. A lot of Veritaserum, I know the secret behind door 7 of the Department of Mysteries, let me inform the current Director of the Department of Affairs Mrs. Selwyn as soon as possible, otherwise the Dark Lord will get no one The power to stop!"

"I wanted to escape with Mrs. Stry, but she had only one last breath left. After telling me the most important news, she died completely!"

"At this time, the Death Eaters also discovered me again, and they continued to pursue a series of killings against me. I was injured in the subsequent battle, and my body was unable to withstand the long-distance Apparition. City by city fleeing towards London."

"Just when I had fled to Luton and was about to reach the Ministry of Magic, I heard from the Ministry of Magic!"

Eddie's face was gloomy, like water in a black lake.

"After the others dispersed, the other two in my team also died, and the Auror team I led is now the only one left! The other team has all survived!"

"Among those who returned to the Ministry of Magic, some people said that I was a traitor, informed the Death Eaters of the Ministry's plan in advance, and used my power to kill my teammates! Because this is a huge Scandal, so the Ministry of Magic did not spread the news, but privately let the Aurors hunt me down, and even gave orders to kill me!"

Sherlock thought of the whereabouts of the Death Eaters he studied, who had been committing crimes repeatedly in the past month, which could completely match Eddie's statement.

From Wales to London, then a sudden change of direction at Luton, and finally to Sheffield!

"It was just the words of those who fled back, and the Ministry of Magic decided you were guilty and didn't even go through the process of getting them back for interrogation?" Sherlock asked with a frown.

Eddie sneered.

"There's a lot involved here. The traitor is not just an ordinary Auror. Do you know the identities of those people in the Auror team of the other team? The son of a director, the nephew of three department heads and nephew, and a direct descendant of a former Minister of Magic!"

"Are they all pure blood?"

"Five people, five purebloods! That squad is specially made! Before this mission, they had never conducted any missions against the Death Eaters! Now the Auror Command is the easiest place to mix up seniority. Departments, those officials need to gild their descendants without putting them at risk!"

Eddie's face was full of hideousness: "I should have thought about it! Why are these delicate young men who were well protected before suddenly being sent to perform such a task! Some people have calculated it from the beginning!"

"I can't go back to the Ministry of Magic anymore! But this news must be passed back, there must be some of the five people alive and the family behind him are traitors, and now they are lurking in the Ministry of Magic! The plans of these Death Eaters outside this time are in addition to Catch me, don't let me bring the news back outside the Ministry of Magic, and want to attract most of the power in the Ministry to create conditions for that traitor!"

"So someone has to go back and get the news to Mrs Selwyn! I was planning to go to the Isle of Man, where Chris, the former Auror chief of staff in retirement, has a good relationship with my elders and he will trust me, I'll tell him about it before I send him to the Ministry, but it's too late!"

His tone became more and more urgent.

"I need your help~lightnovelpub.net~ John, although I don't know what's behind Gate 7, it must be very important! The current actions of the Death Eaters are directly ordered by the Dark Lord, that is, Say, the one who needs that thing is the Dark Lord himself!"

The battle between Death Eaters and Aurors on the street outside was still raging, and Sherlock had a short time to think about it.

Helping the Aurors against the Death Eaters is just a chance to join the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in the Ministry of Magic, and it will take a lot of trouble to get involved with the Department of Mysteries.

Eddie's request would allow him to deal directly with the Department of Mysteries and meet the current Director of the Department of Affairs.

Combined with the fact that he was Amy's father, the situation within the Ministry was more critical than it seemed.

Whether it's public or private, Sherlock has enough reasons to make a choice.

He stared into Eddie's tense eyes.

"Come on, how am I going to find that Mrs Selwyn at the Ministry of Magic?"
