Chapter 168 Eddie Butler

Sherlock didn't move, and directly opened the door of the guest room with control magic.

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

"If you don't run away during this time, why do you want to come back to me?"

This Auror, who was suspected to be named "Eddie", could have gone far away in the chaotic scene just now. Since he didn't want to go back to the Ministry of Magic, walking all the way to the northwest meant he had other places to go.

But at such a great opportunity, not only did he not leave, but instead he returned to find himself.

This was a bit beyond Sherlock's expectations.

The black-haired young man didn't answer Sherlock's question immediately, but stared at the position on his chest and asked without blinking his eyes.

"Have you met Amy?"

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

After a short moment of astonishment, thoughts flashed through Sherlock's mind, and then asked in a deep voice.

"Your name is Eddie Butler?"

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

"Amy told you my name?"

His answer basically amounted to a disguised admission that Sherlock hadn't guessed wrong.

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

The black-haired young man named Eddie stared at Sherlock for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"The people Amy can trust are not 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 and said.

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

After knowing that there was nothing wrong with Amy's current situation, Eddie suddenly said with a straight 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, and you don't even know my name?"

Eddie said quickly.

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

His words are very unreasonable if you listen to them normally, but Amy's own talent is very abnormal, so it makes sense for a father to trust his daughter who is not yet seven years old.

Eddie said, looking out the window.

At this time, there were constant explosions and screams on the street outside. The Muggle repelling spell he used before could only have some effect on the space in this hotel, but now the Death Eaters are dealing with the entire hotel. The streets were attacked.

"I'm running out of time, man"

"Just call me John."

"Okay, John." Eddie said with a frown, "although it's very presumptuous, but in this situation, I can only ask you to help me. I want you to go to the Ministry of Magic for me to find the current The head of the Department of Mysteries, Mrs. Selwyn. Tell her that Stry was killed and that the Death Eaters got the secret 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 have taken refuge in the side of the Dark Lord, it will not be possible to explain it after you go back and be inspected, and you can get rid of the Death Eaters' pursuit."

Sherlock said puzzled.

Just as he was asking, there were more than a dozen sonic booms in the sky like a whip whipping the air, and Moody's angry voice also rang out amidst the chaos and screams.

"Stop them quickly! Don't spread the chaos! Block this street! Otherwise, the secrecy law will become empty talk!"

"Old cripple! I remember you!" Bella's shrill voice was extremely harsh, "Avada Kedavra!"

"Passed out!"

"."

The Aurors had obviously made contact with the Death Eaters at this time, and this was the opportunity Sherlock had been waiting for all the way to Sheffield.

But he was not impatient, but waited for Eddie on the opposite side to finish his sentence.

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

Sherlock frowned slightly, listening quietly.

"That operation was because the former head of the Department of Mysteries, Mrs. Stry, was attacked by Death Eaters. She asked the magic for help, and the Ministry sent us there. But they seemed to know in advance where we would be. When the time comes, it will be the same as where it will appear after it comes.”

"We just arrived near Mrs. Stry's house, and we were attacked by Death Eaters who had been ambushing here for a long time! Two of my men died on the spot. In the ensuing battle, seven others and I also died." Gone."

"After killing the two Death Eaters who were chasing me, I returned to Mrs. Strider's residence. The Death Eaters had left there, and Mrs. Strider was dying. She told me that the follower of the Dark Lord gave her A lot of veritaserum, learned about the secret behind door 7 of the department of mysteries, let me inform the current director of affairs, Mrs. Selwyn, as soon as possible, otherwise the dark devil will get no one There is no way to stop the power!"

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

"At this time, the Death Eaters also found me again, and they continued to hunt me down. I was injured in the subsequent battle, and my body couldn't withstand the long-distance apparition. City by city in the direction of London."

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

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

"After the others dispersed, the other two members of my team also died, and now I am the only one left in the Auror team I led! But the other team survived!"

"Among those who returned to the Ministry of Magic, some said that I was a traitor, informed the Death Eaters of the Ministry's plan in advance, and used my position to kill my teammates! Because this is a huge undertaking. It was a scandal, so the Ministry of Magic did not spread the news, but let the Aurors hunt me down privately, and even issued an order to live or die!"

Sherlock thought of the whereabouts of the Death Eaters he had studied, who had repeatedly committed crimes in the past month, which was completely consistent with Eddie's statement.

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

"Just because of the one-sided words of those who fled back, the Ministry of Magic judged you guilty, and you didn't even go through the procedure of arrest and interrogation?" Sherlock frowned and asked.

Eddie sneered.

"There are a lot of things involved here. It's not just an ordinary Auror who is a traitor. 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 for Magic!"

"Are they all pure-bloods?"

"Five people, five purebloods! That team was specially created! Before this mission, they had never conducted any missions that had confronted Death Eaters! Now the Auror Command is the easiest place to mix seniority Department, those officials need to gild their descendants without putting them at risk!"

Eddie's face was full of ferocity: "I should have thought of it a long time ago! Why are these delicate young masters who were well protected before being sent to perform such a task suddenly! Someone planned it from the beginning!"

"I can't go back to the Ministry of Magic again! But this news must be passed back. Some of the five people who are alive must be traitors and the family behind him, and they are lurking in the Ministry of Magic now! The plan of these Death Eaters outside is nothing but 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 must go back and inform Mrs. Selwyn of the news! I originally planned to go to the Isle of Man, where Chris, the former head of the Auror Office who retired there, has a good relationship with my elders, and he will trust me. I'll tell him what happened before I send him to the Ministry, but it's running out of time!"

His tone became more and more urgent.

"I need your help, John. Although I don't know what is behind Door No. 7, it must be very important! The current actions of the Death Eaters are directly ordered by the Dark Lord, that is, they need that thing." It's the Dark Lord himself!"

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

Helping Aurors against 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.

Coupled with the fact that he is Amy's father, the situation in the Ministry of Magic is more critical than it seems here.

Whether for public or private, Sherlock has enough reasons to make choices.

He stared into Eddie's nervous eyes.

"Tell me, how can I find that Mrs. Selwyn in the Ministry of Magic?"
