Chapter 176 The Inhumanity of Veritaserum

There were not many people in the restaurant, and from a distance, Sherlock could see that Amy followed the waiter and took out a bottle of cider from the wine cabinet, and was bouncing over.

Amy's appearance is indeed much more delicate than that of normal human cubs.

But as far as Sherlock knows, all girls with Veela blood basically have silver hair, while Amy has blonde hair.

Eddie has black hair. Originally, Sherlock thought that Amy's hair color followed her mother's, but now it seems that Eddie used some means to change her hair color in order to protect Amy's identity.

After Amy came back, Eddie and Sherlock changed the topic tacitly.

"You can report to the Ministry of Magic tomorrow." Eddie gave Amy a glass of juice and said to Sherlock at the same time, "Mrs. The reason why I promised you to join the Department of Mysteries."

No one around noticed their side, Sherlock used control magic to control the cider bottle that Amy had just brought over, unscrewed the cap on it, and then filled Eddie's glass with wine.

"There is nothing to hide about this magic. It is indeed special enough, but not everyone can learn it, or it is not a magic that can be learned normally. The reason why I know it is also passed down from my mother."

"You just need to pay attention. Not all the people in the Ministry of Magic are good people. Although Mrs. Selwyn has expressed her attitude and does not support the Dark Lord's side, it can be heard from her surname that her husband is The Selwyns, a pure-blood family with a long history."

Sherlock is not very interested in what kind of person his future immediate boss will be, and he doesn't plan to stay in the Ministry of Magic for a long time anyway.

If he could find a clue or a way to go back, then he and Snape must have left this timeline immediately.

Even if he can't find it in the end, Sherlock has no intention of staying in the Ministry of Magic to work.

"The ghost I caught is called Algee, right? Is he convicted now?" Sherlock asked.

Eddie sneered and shook his head.

"The Wizengamot's trial will not start until three days later, and you should be invited to be a witness at that time. But judging from the recent news from the Ministry, his family is actively operating. I think On the grounds that he was under the Death Eater's Imperius Curse, let him get away with it."

Sherlock frowned.

"Someone would believe such an outrageous lie? Aren't the four Death Eaters who were caught together? Can't we use Veritaserum to get the truth out of their mouths?"

"There has always been a debate in the Ministry of Magic about whether or not Veritaserum should be used on wizards." Eddie said playfully, "A large number of people oppose the use of Veritaserum to interrogate prisoners, saying it is inhumane. The four Death Eaters are not eligible to be tried, and after being caught, they were thrown directly to Azkaban."

Sherlock grumbled.

"Veritaserum is inhumane. Is it humane to throw a prisoner into prison for dementors to inhale? It's outrageous."

Eddie was fairly relaxed about this matter.

"However, according to the temper of the current minister, Mr. Minkan, the possibility of Algie being found innocent is very low, but due to his family's power, he will not be imprisoned in Azkaban for a long time."

"Algie, who has been exposed, is still a small problem." Eddie's face was slightly gloomy, "I feel that he is not the only one who has become a traitor in Little Barty's Auror team, but some people have not yet Exposure continues to hide."

Sherlock raised an eyebrow.

"Do you have any suspects?"

Eddie shook his head.

"No, but judging from the current situation, among the four remaining members of the Auror team, the families behind three of them have a very ambiguous attitude towards the Death Eaters. Only the Crouch family firmly opposes the Dark Lord, So Batty Jr. can basically be ruled out, and if there are traitors, there is a high probability that they will only appear among the remaining three people."

Sherlock had little interest in who the traitors were, what he really cared about was the Death Eaters or Voldemort, what he was trying to get by having someone break into the Department of Mysteries.

Something that can make the current Voldemort want is definitely not ordinary.

But now he must not have access to these things, and everything will have to wait until he joins the Ministry of Magic.

"There is one more thing I want to ask you for help." Eddie touched Amy's head and said.

Sherlock motioned him to speak up if he had something to say.

"The situation in the magic world is getting more and more tense now. I work in the Auror office and basically can't leave the ministry for a long time. The Death Eaters have obviously discovered Amy's existence, and I can't keep her I was left outside alone, so I want you to help me take care of Amy."

Sherlock hesitated and said, "Of course I'd be happy to help you with this. After all, I like Amy too, but I'm going to work in the Department of Mysteries later, so I can't look after her during work hours, right?"

Eddie said: "If you want, I can go and apply to Mrs. Selwyn. The Department of Mysteries has very few staff, everyone has a separate office, and the work is all clerical, so let Amy follow you The words are just right."

Since he was able to persuade the Ministry of Magic to let Sherlock bring his family to work, Sherlock had no intention of refusing.

Amy's intuition is very strong, and she might be able to help if she follows her in the Department of Mysteries.

"If that's the case, then of course."

The night after dinner, Eddie left alone.

Amy will continue to live with Sherlock. Tomorrow, after Eddie has made arrangements for the Ministry of Magic, he will come to the Leaky Cauldron and take Sherlock to go through the entry procedures.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Sherlock informed Snape that he would be entering the Ministry of Magic from today onwards, and Eddie arrived as scheduled at around ten o'clock in the morning.

"I have already told Mrs. Selwyn that if someone asks about Amy's identity, you should tell the truth that it is a friend's child who takes care of her."

Although it has been agreed, today is the first day to apply for employment after all, naturally Sherlock can't take Amy with him.

After entrusting Amy to Snape for a day, Sherlock and Eddie went to the Ministry of Magic.

The way they entered the Ministry of Magic was the same as when Sherlock took Harry to the Ministry of Magic, through the visitor's passage.

Compared with the present period, the Ministry of Magic more than ten years later has not changed much.

It's just that those staff members seem to be busier, and there is not much relaxed expression on everyone's face. Combined with the current situation, it is understandable that such a situation occurs.
