Chapter 188 The Thing That Changes Everything
"But the possibility of this is very small. In a high probability, I can still help you look after Amy until she can go to school."

Sherlock said with a relaxed face.

Eddie didn't play it lightly as he said, his brows were still frowning.

"Where are you going?"

Looking at the gradually thinning crowd on the street outside the window, Sherlock said softly.

"A place where no one can be found."

"Everyone can't find it? Then why go?"

Sherlock waved his hand.

"I've said it all, it's possible, and the possibility is very small, so there's no need to ask so many questions."

Eddie didn't continue to ask, but Amy, who was sitting next to him, suddenly tilted her head and looked into Sherlock's eyes.

"Will John leave Amy one day?"

Sherlock did not perfunctory the child, he looked up and thought about it carefully, and finally answered honestly.

"I don't know if there will be such a day, but even if we leave, it must be only temporary, just like meeting and parting, parting will always meet again."

Amy didn't know why, she seemed to be in a bad mood suddenly, and she frowned slenderly.

"Amy doesn't think this day will ever happen!"

Sherlock was joking, saying the same thing he had said during the game.

"Is it a real feeling, not deliberately deceiving yourself?"

"It's definitely true this time!"

She seemed to be cheering herself up, and said very firmly.

"Amy's feelings have always been accurate. If you think it's true, then it must be true."

Sherlock reached out, propped the corner of her mouth, and helped her smile.

But Amy's brows were always frowned together and did not let go.

After dinner that day, Sherlock made a special trip back to the Leaky Cauldron.

Snape hasn't given away the magic notebook that Sherlock gave him, and he hasn't thought of a good way yet.

"You'd better move faster, we shouldn't stay in the UK for too long."

Snape looked at him.

"Are you going to leave the Ministry of Magic?"

Sherlock nodded.

"There is nothing worth investigating in the Department of Mysteries. I need to try another place. I will probably resign at the end of the month."

"Why must I follow? I want to stay in London."

Sherlock looked at him seriously.

"I have been fulfilling the agreement between us. Even if the time has not yet come, I will help you think about ways to save Lily, so I hope you can also abide by the agreement. If I find a way to go back outside, the situation is urgent It is very likely that there is no way to come back and take you there again, you have to go with me."

Snape pursed his lips, he was silent for a long time, and finally said.

"Then give me another two days, and I will send the things over."

"Hogwarts has started school now, remember to be careful when delivering things." Sherlock reminded.

"I know."

There were three days left until the end of the month when Sherlock planned to file his resignation.

He has not been idle these days. Although he has only worked in the Time Hall for two months, he still has some research results left behind. Sherlock has gathered these things and is ready to hand them over to Mrs. Selwyn when he leaves. .

Since that night, Amy has been in a bad mood, not even interested in playing games, as if she has returned to the way she was before she met Sherlock.

Every day I lie on the table, silently looking at the windmill in my hand in a daze.

This is the mood of children, as unpredictable as the weather in England, and Sherlock didn't pay much attention to it.

There's also been a lot going on in the Ministry of Magic recently.

Two days have passed, and the five-legged monster in Oxford has not been caught, and there has even been an incident of wounding people.

Fortunately, the Auror arrived in time, and the Muggle was not killed. Afterwards, the memory was erased, and the situation did not escalate.

But even so, it still caused the Ministry of Magic a lot of headaches, and specially sent extra manpower to catch those five-legged monsters as soon as possible to prevent casualties from happening.

And on the day Sherlock prepared everything and planned to submit his resignation application, the Death Eaters who had been silent for a long time finally came out to commit crimes again.

This time they attacked the Leo family of Muggle wizards in Scotland, and brazenly hung them on the back of their broomsticks and paraded them through the sky.

The Aurors must send people to capture these Death Eaters.

Because of the five-legged monster, there are not many Auror teams left in the department.

But even so, Scrimgeour still left two teams stationed at the Ministry of Magic, and the rest went to Scotland.

The remaining two teams were led by Barty Crouch Jr. and Eddie respectively.

Under such special circumstances, Sherlock naturally didn't bother to submit any resignation application.

He and the Ministry of Magic can be regarded as getting together and parting, even if they want to leave, they have to wait until this matter is over.

At nightfall, Barty Jr., who voluntarily asked to take over the guards on the fifth floor below the Ministry of Magic, was not at his post at this time.

He returned to his office alone, closed the door, and then took out a small box from the drawer, and sprinkled all the powder in the box into the fireplace that had been extinguished for a summer.

Dark green flames jumped up in the fireplace, and as it rose, it soon turned into a woman's face.

"The Floo network is already connected?"

"You can come here now, but the Aurors in Scotland should be restrained as much as possible. The master said that I can't be exposed tonight, and I must follow the Aurors."

The miserable green firelight reflected Little Barty's pale face, and the shadows left by his emaciated facial features made him look like a skeleton at this moment.

The woman in the flames grinned grimly.

"Don't worry, those stupid pig Aurors don't know where we are now, I will let Rodolphs stay with two people, three of them are enough!"

"If you think there is no problem, then bring someone over. I'm going to continue patrolling."

After little Barty finished speaking, he turned and left the office without caring about the still burning fireplace behind him.

The flame in the fireplace was gradually extinguished, and the whole room was plunged into darkness.

This silence lasted only a few minutes, and then the dark green fire suddenly lit up again in the fireplace, and then a witch with fluffy curly hair, wearing a leather jacket, and crazy eyes walked out of the flame.

Following her, one after another black-robed wizards with iron masks appeared from the flames.

Soon, dozens of Death Eaters gathered in this small office!
Bella's deliberately suppressed voice sounded in the room.

"You should know what your goal is now, and where the door to enter that room is. Now let's go there and bring the master what he wants!"

Sherlock was still up at this hour.

He was drinking tea with Eddie in his office.

"You didn't submit your resignation application today?"

"It's a bit too inappropriate at this time." Sherlock shook his head. "Although I don't have any sense of belonging to the Ministry of Magic, I still got something from it after all, so I can't do this kind of thing that makes things worse."

"Aren't you in charge of patrolling the upper five floors? Why did you come to me?" he asked.

Since Eddie came to Sherlock, he has been a little absent-minded.

"I always feel that something is wrong tonight."

he said softly.

"It's as if someone deliberately attracted the Aurors away. The five-legged monster and the appearance of the Scottish Death Eaters are too coincidental."

Sherlock narrowed his eyes.

"Do you suspect that this time is the same as last time, that the Death Eaters did it on purpose?"

"My feeling tells me that this is likely to be the case." Eddie said anxiously, "They wanted to take something away from the Department of Mysteries. They didn't succeed last time. With the characters of those people, it's unlikely that they would be so easy. give up."

"Didn't you tell anyone else how you felt?"

"I told Scrimgeour." Eddie's face was serious. "He feels the same way as I do, but even so, he has to send someone out. The problem of Auror shortage is always there, not to mention To maintain the safety of the entire magic world, so he can only keep two teams in the ministry."

"Barty Jr. and I were chosen to stay because we were trusted enough. I was wronged once before, but I still didn't fall to the Death Eaters, and Barty Jr.'s father was Director Crouch, so he Nobody who could be a Death Eater, either. Scrimgeour has arranged this to prevent further Death Eaters from being brought into the Ministry."

Sherlock also felt that something was wrong. Generally, the things that the parties feel that the arrangements are foolproof are more likely to go wrong.

"So you're here because you're worried about Death Eaters breaking into the Ministry again, or are you coming to the Department of Mysteries?"

"Their goal is very clear. The attack in Wales, and the undercover leading people into the Ministry of Magic when they were chasing me were all for this."

Sherlock frowned too.

"What is in the room they want to enter? It can be done to this extent. Wouldn't it be more beneficial for them to directly attack the Ministry of Magic and kill all the high-level people who oppose the Dark Lord?"

Eddie shook his head.

"I don't know the details, but during the mission in Wales, I heard Mrs. Sdri, the former director of the Department of Mysteries before she died, say that there is something that can change everything in that room, and this thing cannot be left behind." into the hands of the Dark Lord."

Sherlock rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't remember whether he had heard of such a thing stored in the Ministry of Magic before he came to this time.

"Amy is still in the Department of Mysteries!" Sherlock said suddenly, "We can't let her stay here tonight, I'll take her to the Leaky Cauldron first."

He stood up, had just opened the door with Eddie, and was about to go to Amy's room.

Outside the Hall of Time, a huge explosion sounded suddenly!
