02. Transfer
This summer vacation is coming soon.
Dumbledore's death was not going to make the students happy to spend the summer, everyone was scared, and more eyes were on Sherlock Mephisto's East.
After all, the other party also graduated from Hogwarts this summer.
Graduating from Hogwarts means that you can get a job in the wizarding world, or whatever you want, anyway, the Ministry of Magic's ban on underage wizards and some of Hogwarts' school rules can no longer contain these adult wizards who graduate.
And no one would threaten anyone with the excuse of expulsion from Hogwarts.
Many wizards would have assumed that Sherlock Mephisto would most likely be an Auror in the Ministry of Magic, but in fact, the Daily Prophet published the day after the summer vacation, and Fourmond wanted Sherlock to be the head of the Executive Division.
This was very exciting for many wizards, after all, Sherlock became the head of the Executive Department of the Ministry of Magic, and his status was not much lower than that of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, and it also meant that the Ministry of Magic was at the forefront of the confrontation between Voldemort and the Death Eaters, and Sherlock was to be at the forefront of the sword to maintain peace in the wizarding world.
This is much better than when Dumbledore was alive, because although Dumbledore was still fighting against evil forces, he rarely had anything to do with the Ministry of Magic.
For example, the Order of the Phoenix he created was like an elite special forces unit among a group of wizards, and it had nothing to do with the Ministry of Magic, neither the actions of the members of the Order of the Phoenix nor the identity of their members of the organization.
It's like another Death Eater, except that the Death Eater is evil and extreme, while the Order of the Phoenix has a righteous heart.
Moreover, Dumbledore is also the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which means that he must not run around.
This is why Dumbledore is at Hogwarts, so the school is considered the safest place in all of Europe.
Sometimes people tend to think that if Dumbledore hadn't been the Headmaster, and if he had worked with the Ministry of Magic, Voldemort would have been more than ten times more resistant.
But it is a pity that there is always a gap between Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, and even the Minister of Magic Fudge in peacetime has a lot of fears about Dumbledore.
After Fourmond became the Minister of Magic, Sherlock once asked Fourmond what he would think of Dumbledore if you were to put yourself in the shoes of the Minister of Magic.
At that time, Fu Mund was slightly dull for a while, and said softly, "An old bone who can lift me off the ministerial seat anytime and anywhere, but if the other party really has the heart......"
Sometimes it's too powerful, and it can make some people live a life of fear.
However, on the third day of the Prophet's release, Sherlock did not report to the Ministry of Magic, which means that the position of the top head of the Ministry of Magic's Executive Department has been vacant until now.
And Funmond had also received specific information that his good son had been staying at Mephisto Lodge for a week after graduating from school.
As a result, Funmond had to temporarily withdraw from his work to return home in person.
"What are you doing, Sherlock, the Daily Prophet has already announced that you will be the head of the Executive Division, but that office has been empty for three days now." When Fourmond returned home, Asinsha, Sherlock, and Ellie were having dinner.
The family seemed to have a premonition that Fu Mund would return today, and then prepared cutlery for him.
In the process of eating, Fu Meng looked at Sherlock and asked directly.
"It's not the right time...... To be precise, I'm not fit to work at the Ministry of Magic yet. Sherlock said slowly, and he continued, "You can give that position to Rufus Scrimgeur, who will be able to do it if he is the chief executive of the department." ”
In the original books, Leflyn Scrimgeour was the next Minister of Magic after Fudge's resignation, but was now replaced by Fomicmond, although Ruflyn Scrimgeour still held a high-level position in the Ministry.
This man had an upright personality, but he often disagreed with Dumbledore.
In the end, he died at Voldemort's hands.
"If Scrimgeour is the top executive of the Ministry of Magic, what are you going to do? If you're willing to take my place as the new Minister of Magic, I'll do it with both hands and feet. ”
Fu Mund said that now he really knew that the Minister of Magic, although he was the wizard with the highest power in the wizarding world, but in this time of war, the Minister of Magic was also under a lot of pressure.
After all, there used to be such a saying.
During the war years, the generals with medals on their chests fought hard with their lives.
And the generals with medals on their chests in peacetime are a bunch of political masters.
And Fu Mengde is slightly inferior to the real master in terms of politics and command of the enemy.
But so far everyone thinks that Fudmund is far stronger than Fudge, because Fudge's character is too cowardly, but Fumund's is not.
"Don't always ask me what I'm going to do, after all, I don't have a shortage of money, so I'm not in a hurry to go out and earn money." Sherlock's understatement, but the choked Fourmond could not refute it.
The Mephisto family itself is not short of money, why do they have to force the eldest young master of the family to go out to work.
But Fumond couldn't treat the upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic as a normal job, and Sherlock was full of disgust.
It is estimated that there is no one in the entire wizarding world who would even dislike the high-level positions of the Ministry of Magic like Sherlock.
"But you're already graduated, so there's no way I'm going to stuff you back into Hogwarts, right?" Fu Meng said.
"Now that I've graduated, I'll have my own plans." Sherlock finished his dinner and returned to his room.
The next day, Fourmond had to make Scrimgeour the top head of the Ministry of Magic's Executive Division.
The wizarding world was in an uproar, not quite understanding what was going on, and why Sherlock Mephisto didn't even plan to take the position of the top executive of the Ministry of Magic.
At the same time, however, the Death Eaters began to take action, orchestrating multiple kidnappings and murders in the wizarding world.
This made the Ministry of Magic busy for a moment, and the tension in the magical world was at an all-time high.
This reminded the wizards of that time when they were particularly panicked.
Everybody's worried about whether they would be the next target to be killed or kidnapped.
"Seriously, Sherlock, what should you do?" Asinsha suddenly broke into Sherlock's room, but Sherlock's room was now full of letters.
"Where did you get so many letters?"
"It's all written to me by wizards in the wizarding world, and they beg me to end the Death Eaters and Voldemort's actions, and preferably kill Voldemort, although it is not so straightforward in my heart, but it is also what it means."
Sherlock said calmly.
"How can they be like this? Is this for you to go to a duel with Voldemort? Asin Sha was full of indignation, and it felt like the weak wizards were forcing Sherlock to do something she wasn't quite sure about.
"It's helpless, after all, they now think I'm a wizard with the ability to fight Voldemort alone, and if you think about Dumbledore's duel with Grindelwald, he also received most of the pleas from wizards in the wizarding world."
"So you're going?" Asinsha asked.
"It's not time yet, at least not now, we have to find a time to greatly weaken Voldemort's strength, and I will definitely come back at that time, and it will not be before the summer vacation of this year or next year." Sherlock said.
When he looked at Asinsha running over, he asked suspiciously, "By the way, what did you just say you wanted me to do?" ”
"Nothing! It's just that I just received a letter from Hermione, and at midnight tonight, the magical protection of Privet Road Four will be gone, which will expose Harry and his uncle's family, the Death Eaters will find them, Harry will be dangerous, and the members of the Order of the Phoenix are planning to transfer Harry from Privet Road. ”
"Why don't you go to the Ministry of Magic for help?" Sherlock asked, looking at Asinsha.
Only Asinsha was the closest to Harry's gang, and had some contact with the members of the Order of the Phoenix.
"Honestly...... The people of the Order of the Phoenix are still not very comfortable with the Ministry of Magic. At this time, Asinsha changed her words, "It's not that I'm worried about our father, but there may be people in the Ministry of Magic who have been infiltrated by Voldemort, which is something that cannot be guaranteed." ”
"Voldemort wants to kill Harry, and if he asks for magic, he is worried that Harry's whereabouts will be known to Voldemort's pawns lurking in the Ministry of Magic, so you are only the new Order of the Phoenix."
Sherlock shook his head, in the original book, when Harry was growing up at Privet Road Four, Dumbledore had used a very old protection charm, which could ensure that Harry would be absolutely protected until he reached his seventeenth birthday.
Even the three members of the Dursleys.
But when Harry's seventeenth birthday passed, the spell would be invalidated, and the Death Eaters would have no trouble finding Harry.
Suddenly, Sherlock pulled out his golden wand and handed it to Asinsha, "Take my wand." ”
"What?" Acinsha was puzzled.
"With my wand, I can summon and command my Homitz, they will be a very powerful help, I can't send Homitz directly, because Homitz can't be too far away from the owner or the wand." Sherlock explained.
Asin Sha Yixi, it would be much better if he could get the help of Sherlock's Homitz creatures, after all, the entire wizarding world knows how powerful Sherlock's three Homitz are.
"But what do you do?" Asinsha asked worriedly.
After all, a wizard without a wand is like a soldier without a gun, and a wizard who goes to a wand is basically empty of his magic power but cannot release it.
"I've long mastered wandless spellcasting and silent chanting, even without a wand, it won't affect me too much, unless Voldemort comes, but even if he comes to Mephisto Mansion, there are all kinds of prohibitions I have set up, and coming here is my home field, and he will definitely not return."
Sherlock said.
"Okay then."
With Sherlock's wand in hand, Asinsha decided that she would set off for 4 Privet Road just around midnight.
And at this time it was time for night.
At 4 Privet Road, Harry finally got his uncle and aunt out of 4 Privet Road, and sent the Dursleys out of 4 Privet Road, hoping that they would be safe under the protection of the wizard.
Harry ran upstairs and back to his room, just in time to see through the window the Dursleys' car slowly driving down the garage onto the road.
Between Aunt Penny's and Dudley's heads, Dedarlow's top hat can be seen in the back seat.
The car drove to the right at the end of Privet Road, and for a moment, the windows reflected a scarlet glow in the setting sun, and soon disappeared from Harry's sight.
Harry took Hedwig's cage and firebolts, strapped his backpack, glanced at his bedroom, which had never been so tidy, and staggered downstairs to pile his belongings in the corner of the stairs.
The light dimmed suddenly, and the light of the setting sun filled the living room with light and shadow.
It felt strange now that he was standing here ready to leave this house one last time.
I remember a long time ago, when the Dursleys went out to have fun and left him alone in the house, the loneliness was a rare pleasure.
Whenever he did, he would put down the good food he had secretly rummaged out in the fridge, rush into Dudley's room to play a computer game, or turn on the TV to watch the show he had been dreaming about.
Reminiscing about those old days made him feel strange and empty, like missing a brother he had been dead for many years.
Suddenly, there was a deafening roar from there, and Harry was startled, straightened up, and hit his head against the low door frame, which reminded Harry of what Uncle Vernon had scolded him for, and he staggered back to the kitchen, poking his head out the window and looking out the backyard.
There seemed to be ripples in the darkness, and the air seemed to tremble slightly.
Then, one by one, the apparitions hurried into his sight.
Most conspicuous was Hagrid, who wore a helmet, goggles, and rode a huge motorcycle with a black sidecar.
Others ...... from broomsticks Two of them were from the Blackwinged Thestrals...... Slowly climbed down.
Harry pushed open the door and rushed towards them, Hermione hugged him warmly, and Ron patted Harry on the back.
Hagrid said, "Alright, Harry, are you all ready?" ”
"Of course." Harry said cheerfully, "But I didn't expect you all to come!" ”
"Plans have changed." The Mad-Eye man said impatiently, carrying two bulging sacks in his hands, and the magic eye swept quickly from the dim sky to the house to the garden, "I'll tell you slowly when I'm safe." ”
Now it looks like they're going to leave early.
Harry had planned to wait with them until the end of midnight.
The Ministry of Magic didn't know about their actions tonight, so he didn't get any help from the Ministry, and the Mad-Eye was worried that if he notified the Ministry, he would be 100% exposed to potential spies.
It will be even more troublesome then.
