11. Worries about the future
The tension and excitement of visiting the French Ministry of Magic is quite shocking for young wizards, and who would have thought that the French Ministry of Magic would be built on the inside of the Catacomiosis of Paris.
Later, Madame Maxime explained to them separately that the area of the Paris Catacomiosis was extremely large, and in some places accidents were piled up into mountains, and there was no outside passage to connect, so only about one-tenth of the area was open to the outside world, and Muggles could not go deep into it, but wizards could, so later the Paris Catacomiosis became the best gathering place for French wizards, which is why the Ministry of Magic chose the site here.
In addition, the French Ministry of Magic is the only national magical power that hires ghosts to help with the work, and in the eyes of the Minister of Magic, Ben Chaming, these ghosts who have served the French Ministry of Magic for hundreds of years are even more loyal than some ordinary employees, and they are hardworking, never complaining about overtime.
After all, they don't care about time anymore for the Ghosts, and the third French Minister of Magic is also one of the Ghosts employees, but he has become the leader of the Ministry of Magic's Ghosts.
His death was due to the fact that at the beginning of the last century, Grindelwald suddenly appeared at the French Ministry of Magic in order to steal some confidential things, and was discovered by the Minister of Magic at that time and led more than a dozen Aurors to encircle and suppress Grindelwald in the dark night.
But he was killed by the other party with a move, after all, the strength of the first generation of the Dark Lord was not covered.
At that time, the Minister of Magic was surprised to find that all the Auror men he brought were dead, which was enough to show that Grindelwald's strength was terrifying, he was the only one standing on the ground, he wanted to wave his wand to attack Grindelwald who was smiling evilly in front of him, but he found that his hand was empty, and he couldn't pick up the wand on the ground.
Grindelwald didn't even care about him and left, only to find out that he had become a ghost, and his body could not be found, probably blown up.
When the students of Hogwarts were browsing the French Ministry of Magic, suddenly there were more than a dozen officials on the scene, leading a team of students to other places, simply put, for the purpose of leading a group of students to visit and browse.
"Master Mephisto, please come here." A tall woman invites Sherlock alone, and they go to the Minister's office.
"Minister Benshamin."
"Aha...... Mr. Sherlock, Prince of Charms...... On many occasions when the International Council of Wizards was held, we mentioned you almost every year. ”
Sherlock smiled helplessly, laughing at himself, "I hope my presence doesn't make you regime leaders sleep." ”
"Haha, that's something Fudge needs to worry about, and I believe Mr. Sherlock is a wizard of integrity." Benshamin casually brushed aside the topic.
He invited Sherlock to sit down, and at the same time arranged French black tea and some French desserts, and was ready to have a long conversation with Sherlock.
"Mr. Fourmond, I have a good relationship with Mr. Fourmond, you must not think that I used to be a member of the International Dark Wizards Association, but that was when I was young, and I was just a nobody, and the president of the International Dark Wizards Association at that time was your grandfather, Mr. Sherlock."
Ben Savin changed his tone: "This is also the reason why the mysterious man has a high-pressure policy against the pure-blood families of the whole of Europe in the first place, but he wants to entrap Mephisto alone." ”
Sherlock looked at Benshamin, and the other party said in a tentative tone, "You are a great person, Master Sherlock, throughout the history of the wizarding world, there is no second person who can match your talent, even Merlin is absolutely impossible to do, you can even protect the Philosopher's Stone and defeat the mysterious man when you are in the second year, maybe the weak mysterious man at that time is not your opponent...... But ......"
Ben Hamin changed his tone of horror and said, "People of our age have experienced the dark period of the mysterious man by the way, even the original Grindelwald did not necessarily make us so frightened, so when I learned that the mysterious man was still alive, I couldn't sleep at night, for fear that because of the identity and status of the Minister of Magic, a few Death Eaters wearing masks and black robes would rush in at night and give me a few death curses!" ”
"And I don't want to hide it from you, now there is news that the mysterious man is about to return, and it is even rumored that the Death Eaters who have slipped through the net have found the mysterious man, he is regaining his strength, and when he returns, the entire wizarding world will usher in a bloody storm."
Ben Shamin asked, "So Master Sherlock, can you tell me what kind of stage his strength is in when you face the mysterious man, whether he will really come back, and whether you can be sure of defeating him......"
Sherlock looked at him and said, "Are you testing my attitude?" ”
"No, I'm worried that you will be bewitched by a mysterious person, that person is a good hand at provoking people's hearts, even a family member will be influenced by his theory and even face each other, the British Black family is like this, if it weren't for Sirius Black finally clearing his grievances, I would never believe that the Black family would still have a clan that does not support pure theory."
He continued, "After all, almost the entire Black family was a loyal subordinate of the Mystic at the time, including Blake's younger brother, a very gifted boy, but Sirius, who was born in this family background, did not support the Mystery, and was an enemy of him, and to be honest, it was a very terrible thing to be an enemy of the Mystery, and I did not dare to mention his real name until now." ”
"So, Mr. Minister, just because you're a timid person doesn't mean that others are too...... There are many brave people in this world who have rebelled against him, Dumbledore, and even more......"
"It's true that Dumbledore is not dead, but he is old, as far as I know, if the mysterious people are still alive now, they are all seventy years old, and Dumbledore is more than one hundred and fifty years old! What the mystery man lacks now is not enemies, and he doesn't care how many enemies there are, what he really wants is allies, and a real ally is not a subordinate like those waste of the Death Eaters. ”
Sherlock smiled and didn't say anything more, but under Sherlock's gaze, fine beads of sweat began to appear on Minister Benhamin's forehead.
What kind of disaster would it be for him to say that the extremely talented boy in front of him fell to the camp of the mysterious man, even if the mysterious man really died in the later stage, the world would usher in a more terrifying and invincible real dark lord.
Eventually, under Benshamin's nervous gaze, Sherlock said slowly, "You can take it easy, because he hasn't looked for me yet, or the lobbyist of the mystery man hasn't looked for me yet......"
