Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

v1 Chapter 171: There's no point in fighting

The compartment is a fully enclosed space, and in such an environment, the most suitable spell to use is the explosion spell.

It doesn't take much, as long as ten magic wands use the explosion spell together, the people in there will not be able to react at all, and they will all be blown to ashes.

But after all, there were not only Death Eaters in the compartment, and there were two staff members of the Ministry of Magic lying on the ground. The witch who was tied to the chair and forced to confess is basically the director of the Department of Mysteries, Mrs. Selwyn.

So Sherlock could only use a compromise, increase the number of wands, pay attention to the general orientation of the people in the compartment before opening the door, and aim to prepare.

Then he kicked the door open, and the spell was released along with it!

"It's all petrified."

This time, Sherlock did not continue to use the Silent Spell, because that would also reduce the effect of the spell. When dealing with a person before, you didn't need to care. Now that there are more targets, and there is no need for concealment, Sherlock will naturally choose to recite it. spell out.

Dozens and nearly a hundred stun spells did not give the people in the compartment any time to react, or even if they had enough time to react, they couldn't think of how to react in such a short period of time.

The vast majority of spells hit their target.

Of the first few Death Eaters locked down, three were directly hit by more than a dozen spells, and their bodies collapsed on the spot.

But because of the angle, Algie was behind the witch, and all the petrification spells were blocked by Mrs. Selwyn, and none of them hit him, and so did the other Death Eater. Most of the spells were blocked by the three companions in front of him. Blocked, he was only hit once, and the effect of being greatly reduced was not enough to petrify him, but his body was stiff and it was inconvenient to move.

More than a dozen spells fell on the desks and walls, leaving a large number of potholes.

At this time, Algie and another Death Eater who had only been hit by a petrification spell finally reacted.

The only thing in their minds now is that they have been surrounded by dozens or hundreds of Aurors at this time! The Aurors abandoned those Death Eaters in Sheffield and chose to come back to guard the Ministry of Magic!

Otherwise, even if all the Aurors who were staying behind in the department were to come, it would be impossible to use so many spells at one time.

So the first time Algie and the Death Eater came back to their senses, they were ready to escape!

There are only two of them left now, but the Aurors are almost all there, and the plan must have failed!

Algie raised his wand for the first time, and the spell he chanted was Apparition.

However, before he could read the spell completely, a thick tome floated out of thin air on the desk, and then smashed it directly at him!

The spell was interrupted, and a dozen red petrification spells hit him directly, completely blocking his escape route.

The other Death Eater didn't have the chance to use Apparition at all, he was not an employee of the Ministry of Magic, and anti-Apparition magic was not open to him here.

Just as he held his wand and shrunk in the corner helplessly, dozens of wands floated in the air and flew into the compartment, all of which pointed at him.

At the same time, Sherlock walked in with a numb Sophie.

The Death Eater who was cornered did not dare to use the curse. After Sherlock walked in, he still stretched his head and looked behind him, trying to find the Auror army who had just been aligned and used the curse together.

However, there was nothing behind Sherlock, no one was there.

Of the other petrified Death Eaters, only Algie fell to the ground, facing the door of the compartment. He could see more clearly that there was no one in the time hall outside. of two wizards, a man and a woman.

And looking at what they were wearing, the wizard was obviously not from the Ministry of Magic!

Algie's eyes became blank.

So there is no Auror army at all, and the countless spells just now were all used by one person?

Sherlock didn't care about the mental state of these Death Eaters. After using a few petrification spells on the only Death Eater who could still move, but had basically let down his resistance, he walked to Mrs. Selwyn's side and lifted the cast the spell on her.

Seeing the doubts on the face of the Director of the Department of Mysteries, Sherlock raised his eyebrows and introduced himself.

"Hello ma'am, my name is John Watson, entrusted by Eddie Butler in Shelfield to remind you of the murder of the former director, Stry, from whom the Death Eaters learned of the secrets of the Department of Things, and Something could break in here at any time, but it looks like I'm a little late."

Mrs Selwyn shook her head.

"No, you came on time. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid there would be a big mess." Gu

Sherlock could vaguely hear from her tone that she didn't actually have any fears, like even if Sherlock didn't show up, it wouldn't be a big deal for her to be dosed with Veritaserum, and the Death Eaters wouldn't be able to get them. Want to get something.

The wands floating in midair flew back into Sherlock's bag one after another, and at this time there was a commotion outside the Time Hall.

Soon, Scrimgeour came here with Barty Jr. and Kingsley and a group of six. Seeing this scene in the office of the Department of Mysteries, his face was full of shock and confusion.

Seeing that they only appeared now, it made Sherlock think of the police officers in the movie and TV series who would only appear at some point in time. They would rush over to finish things off when everything was over.

Scrimgeour and the others did come over to finish it off.

Algie did not wear a mask, so it was clear who the traitor was. After letting his subordinates bring these Death Eaters to the interrogation room, Scrimgeour, the chief of the office, personally conducted a series of questions to Sherlock.

"You mean while traveling in Sheffield, you ran into Eddie by accident and he asked for your help to report the matter to the Ministry of Magic?"

His attitude was very friendly. He was not conducting any interrogation, but just doing some routine inquiries, so Sherlock didn't feel anything wrong and told the truth.

"Yes, the Death Eaters were chasing him and didn't want him to bring the news back to the Ministry of Magic, and the Ministry of Magic... well, there was some misunderstanding about him, and it happened that he met me. Because of a certain For some reason we both had the basis of mutual trust, and then he asked me to help find Sophie, and then asked her to bring me to the Ministry of Magic to find Mrs Selwyn, and the final result is what you see."

Scrimgeour's face darkened.

"After the failed operation in Wales at the time, it was Algie who said Eddie was a traitor! His grandfather was a former Minister for Magic, and he was well connected in the Ministry, and those people convinced Chief Crouch not to Giving Eddie the opportunity to directly establish his charges, even if Barty Jr., who also participated in the operation at the time, expressed doubts about it, saying that the traitor was not necessarily him, and it would not help."

Then he looked at Sherlock again.

"Did Eddie tell you where he's going next? When Algie is caught, that's enough to prove his innocence."

Sherlock shrugged.

"He said he was going to the Isle of Man, and the Death Eaters were still chasing him. He wanted to divert the attention of some of the Death Eaters, so that he could share the pressure on Sheffield."

Scrimgeour looked silent.

"There should be no doubts about his loyalty to the Ministry of Magic, and I will help him get an explanation from the Ministry."

Finally, Scrimgeour thanked Sherlock solemnly.

"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Watson. If you hadn't arrived in time, the serious consequences would have been unimaginable. Do you need anything? If so, I can try my best to help you go to the ministry. Apply for it in return."

What Scrimgeour said was sincere. Without Sherlock, Mrs. Selwyn would have been given Veritaserum, and today the matter has become so serious that he even lost the Auror's office director's The location is also not impossible.

And Sherlock was waiting for his words. He didn't show any restraint or refusal, and asked directly.

"This time at the Ministry of Magic, I feel that the Department of Mysteries is very interesting, so can I apply for a position here and work here?"

Scrimgeour was taken aback by this request.

If Sherlock wants honor and money, he can get approval from the Ministry of Magic, or he wants to join the Auror, which is even more his wish.

Although he still doesn't know what method Sherlock used to defeat the five Death Eaters alone (Sophie was not included in his combat power at all), but with such strength, if he becomes an Auror, he will definitely Be a great help in the command.

Scrimgeour tried to say ~lightnovelpub.net~ If you want, Mr. Watson, I can recruit you directly into the Auror Command, and with your current achievements, it is not impossible to be promoted to captain. As for the Department of Mysteries, I don't have the authority to make decisions for them. If you really want to work here, I can only ask Mrs. Selwyn what she thinks. "

Sherlock didn't refuse or agree, just said.

"Then please help me to inquire. I am naturally willing to help the Ministry of Magic, but according to my personal interests, I still have more ideas about the work of the Department of Mysteries, fighting and killing. It doesn't make any sense."

Scrimgeour twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded.

"Then are you going to wait for the results in the ministry, or leave first? If you are going to leave first, when the situation here stabilizes, Mrs. Selwyn will give you an answer, and I will have someone inform you."

"I'd better go back to the Broken Cauldron. If there is a result, you can let someone go there to find me, where my uncle and I live."
