It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 46 The Second Generation of Phoenix
Not only others, even Sherlock himself could hardly hold back, choking on his own saliva.

Before he could speak, Tonks spoke again.

"No way, you don't think I used my identity to go to Senior Forrest to confess my love? How could I be so ignorant!"

she explained.

"It's my friend in the same dormitory, Percy. She has always had a crush on Senior Forrest, but she is too shy to say it by herself, so let me help her to express her love. If you agree, She will go on a date with the senior by herself, and if she refuses, anyway, it's me who refuses, and she won't be too sad."

When the people around heard the words behind them, they recovered from their shocked expressions, and Kingsley asked with interest.

"Did Sherlock agree then?"

They all turned their eyes to Sherlock, and Sherlock was speechless for a while, how could he know whether he answered or not, so he could only shake his head indifferently.

"I do not remember."

"Hey! It's really unfeeling. Although I didn't express my love for myself, it's at least the first time I said I like someone. You don't even remember."

Tonks looked sad, but it was obvious she was faking it.

"When you rejected me, I acted very similarly. I covered my face and ran away crying. At that time, I thought you would catch up."

Even Bill said with a smile on the sidelines.

"Sherlock is still very popular in school. Every semester, many little girls write love letters to him. I have heard of it even two grades above him."

"But he's already 20 years old and doesn't have a girlfriend yet." Kingsley was really worried about this, "Shall I introduce you to Sherlock? little girl."

How did you start talking about topics that would only be urged by the seven aunts and eight aunts!
Sherlock complained helplessly in his heart, but of course he refused at this time.

"I have no plans in this regard for the time being. I will do my job as a professor at Hogwarts first."

Just when Kingsley was still trying to persuade him, Mrs. Weasley helped him out. The preparations were almost done, and the dinner could begin.

The wizards sat down on both sides of the long table, and naturally Dumbledore sat in the first place.

Even without the name of the Order of the Phoenix, he is the oldest and the one with the highest status here, and he should be sitting in this position.

Professor McGonagall was sitting on the left of his subordinate, and Sherlock was about to walk by and sit with Bill in a corner of the back row of the long table.

Dumbledore suddenly grabbed his arm and motioned to the chair on the right.

"You sit here, Sherlock."

Sherlock didn't want to make himself so conspicuous in front of so many people, but of course he couldn't refuse Dumbledore's words, so he could only sit obediently on the right side of his striker.

There were about 30 to [-] wizards who came to the party. Just like Dumbledore said, these wizards have all kinds of professions. Most of them are middle-aged wizards in age, and only a small part of them are old and young.

After learning that the original owner joined the Order of the Phoenix, Sherlock did a lot of homework and learned about what the Order of the Phoenix has done since its establishment.

He knows very well why there are so few old people in this organization that has been established for 20 years.

Most of the members of the first generation of the Order of the Phoenix died in the First Wizarding War, the war with Voldemort in the 70s.

The young people who were protected have now grown into the mainstay of today, like Kingsley.

Moreover, due to the ten years of silence, the Order of the Phoenix recruited very few young members, and most of them digested it internally. For example, the Weasleys intended to bring Bill into the Order of the Phoenix. Tonks is not completely unrelated to the Order of the Phoenix. Her mother, Andromeda Tonks, was once an ally of the Order of the Phoenix.

As for Sherlock, he can naturally guess by now that the original owner's mother was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix with a high probability.

Otherwise, the Weasleys, Professor McGonagall, Moody and Kingsley, the first generations of the Order of the Phoenix, would have no reason to care so much about him.

Therefore, the young people joining the Order of the Phoenix are basically the second generation of the Phoenix, and it is difficult to develop influence outside.

But this is also understandable, mainly in order not to touch the sensitive nerves of those politicians in the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, the more than 20 wizards sitting here are not all the existing members of the Order of the Phoenix, and there must be many people who have not rushed over.

After everyone was seated, Dumbledore looked around everyone with a smile on his face.

"I'm very happy to see you here this year, which proves that you have had a good life this year. What makes me even more happy is that there are new faces joining this year."

There was no unnecessary lengthy speech by Mr. Chen, nor the concern and condolences from Dakong. Just such a simple sentence made all the wizards sitting at this table couldn't help laughing.

The wizards started chatting and laughing about their experiences over the past year.

Some of them are professional adventurers who spent a year traveling around the entire Eurasian continent, chatting interestingly about their experiences in different places.

There was also the owner of a magic item shop in Diagon Alley, who talked about what novel gadgets the wizards in the magic world had come up with during the past year.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very good, and Sherlock could tell that the people who gathered here were not for any benefit or status, but really had common ideals and goals.

While the dinner was going on friendly, a burly-looking wizard suddenly spoke to Dumbledore.

"We want to absorb a lot of fresh blood, but I think letting Sherlock Forrest join the Order of the Phoenix is ​​somewhat contrary to the loyalty curse we established, Dumbledore."

The name of the person who asked the question was Dedalus Diggle. He was one of the original members of the Order of the Phoenix, and he was considered to be the only few elders sitting here.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the wizards chatting on the long table immediately fell silent. A few dozen members of the Order of the Phoenix who knew the inside story all looked at Dumbledore. Obviously, they all had the same idea as Diggle.

As the party concerned, Sherlock sat upright on the chair with a cold expression.

When he was about to pretend to ask why he couldn't join the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore gently extended a hand to him, stopping his performance.

Dumbledore's face was calm, and he said seriously.

"I know what doubts you have. After all, we made a promise at that time, but we must also respect Sherlock's own opinion."
