Chapter 209

"The disappearance of an employee of the Ministry of Magic is a big or small matter, but Jorkins is an employee of the Department of Magical Sports, and it is still at this time."

Sherlock understood what Kingsley said.

The Quidditch World Cup is held in the UK, so the Department of Magical Sports is naturally responsible for this task.

At such a time, when such a thing happens, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

When he said this, Kingsley couldn't help but came back to his senses and shook his head.

"I won't talk about this during the holidays. It's rare to have time to take a break. It's too wasteful to focus on work."

Sherlock glanced at him, remembering that 17 years ago, he who had just entered the Ministry of Magic and had already shown his talents was the same as now, and he was the same workaholic, which was very similar to Eddie.

The two of them didn't feel childish either. On the streets of Diagon Alley, they bought a fluffy cotton candy (a kind of cotton candy that can fly like a hydrogen balloon), squatting in front of a pet store, eating candy, and teasing the cage That high-cold owl was chatting about some rumors and anecdotes in the magic world.

"Who do you like in this World Cup?"

Kingsley grabbed the marshmallow that almost flew away just now, and ate half of it in one bite.

Like most Britons, he also has an unusual fondness for sweets.

Sherlock tilted his head in thought.

"I don't know much about Quidditch, and I don't know much about some popular teams in the world, but I do know that the Bulgarian team has a star player named Viktor Krum. This team should be relatively strong."

"Krum is indeed young and promising, and he is by far the youngest Seeker in the Quidditch World Cup final." Kingsley said with emotion, but then he continued, "But this is also what I don't like about the Bulgarian team. , this young Seeker is very good, but his teammates are not so good. The previous few games were basically relying on him alone. They may not be so lucky when they meet an opponent like the Irish team. gone."

Unlike Sherlock, Kingsley is obviously a loyal Quidditch fan, otherwise he would not know the advantages and disadvantages of the two teams in this final

Sherlock frowned at him.

"What's the use of you talking so much, it's because you don't have time to watch the game, and you gave me all the tickets for Moody and you."

Facing Sherlock's sarcasm, Kingsley didn't care.

"There is always a priority between hobbies and responsibilities, and the work of the Auror should be the most important."

"You're old too, don't you think about starting a family?"

"If I'm going to retire in this role as an Auror, I'm not going to get married."

"Like Moody? Dedicate your life to the Ministry of Magic? But Moody officially retired not long ago, right?"

Speaking of this, the smile on Kingsley's face became thicker.

"Yeah, it's really fate that the old lunatic can retire alive in the end. Few Aurors survived the darkest ten years in the magic world from beginning to end. Moody is only missing a leg and a One eye is lucky enough."

"On the night he officially retired, the Ministry threw him a small party, but he has been an Auror all his life, and even after retiring, he still has the same temper, no matter who he stares at all day long. With a good face, everyone will think it is a dark wizard."

"He has been an Auror for so many years, and he has always been the trump card in the ministry. The only person who has convinced him is your mother, who is not a professional Auror."

When it comes to Sherlock's mother, the scene becomes a little heavy.

Sherlock has a special feeling for the original owner's mother, Sally Forrest.

Although the current Sherlock is not her real son, Sherlock can feel and admire her love for her child.

And his most important magic means to control magic now is only mastered by Sally's research, and the crescent mark she left behind still protects Sherlock as her own son.

Sherlock doesn't take these things for granted.

He never felt that he was a good person, but he also knew the truth that every kindness must be repaid.

Regarding the change of the original owner's family, Sherlock also tried his best to find clues when he went back to the past.

But apart from finding some traces of her in the basement study of the small courtyard on Mulanhua Road, there are no other clues.

He even went to check the internal files of the Ministry of Magic, but couldn't find relevant records. Sally was insane for no reason.

And those who knew about it back then, including Snape, almost all cast a secrecy spell to hide this secret forever. As long as Dumbledore didn't nod his head in agreement, even if the secret was in front of Sherlock's eyes, he wouldn't be able to see it. .

"So, when are you going to tell me these things?"

Kingsley, who had realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, had a look of annoyance on his face, but it was naturally impossible to take back what had been said.

"Not telling you these things was a decision made by the insiders at the time, but when you entered the Ministry of Magic and became an Auror, someone proposed to tell you the truth of the matter, but Dumbledore rejected it. It probably feels like it’s not time yet.”

Sherlock didn't make things difficult for Kingsley, and continued to question him, just sighed and looked at the sky.

"Then when is the time?"

There was a long silence between the two before Sherlock spoke again.

"Actually, I can also guess some. The problem must be with the mysterious person. If you dare not tell me, it probably has something to do with him."

Kingsley hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"It's a good thing if you didn't know some things before, but after joining the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore will definitely tell you these things, but he hasn't made up his mind yet."

Sherlock didn't make a sound, he remembered the performance of other people at the banquet when he joined the Order of the Phoenix.

Except for Moody, basically none of the people present agreed with Dumbledore's decision, and in the end he insisted on passing the matter.

It is estimated that Dumbledore has been thinking about it since then, and he wants to tell him something.

But Sherlock didn't want to understand. Now that he even knew about Voldemort's Horcruxes, and even destroyed two of them, what else could Dumbledore not tell him?
Just when he was puzzled by this matter, Kingsley changed the topic in a timely manner.

"Actually, apart from the Quidditch World Cup, there will be another large-scale event in the UK this year, and the venue will be Hogwarts."
