Chapter 175 The Inhumanity of Truth Serum

There were not many people in the restaurant. From a distance, Sherlock could see that Amy followed the waiter to take out a bottle of cider from the wine cabinet and was hopping towards him.

Amy's appearance was indeed much more delicate than that of a normal human cub.

But according to what Sherlock knew, all girls with Veela blood had silver hair, while Amy had blonde hair.

Eddie had black hair. Sherlock originally thought that Amy's hair color was from her mother, but now it seems that Eddie probably used some means to change her hair color in order to protect Amy's identity.

After Amy came back, Eddie and Sherlock changed the topic tacitly.

"You can report to the Ministry of Magic tomorrow." Eddie poured Amy a glass of juice and said to Sherlock, "Mrs. Selwyn seems to be very interested in your method of controlling the wand to cast spells, which is why she is willing to agree to let you join the Department of Mysteries."

No one around noticed them. Sherlock used control magic to control the cider bottle that Amy had just brought over, unscrewed the bottle cap, and then filled Eddie's glass with wine.

"There is nothing to hide about this magic. It is indeed special enough, but not everyone can learn it, or it is not a magic that can be learned normally. The reason why I know it is that it was passed down from my mother."

"Just be careful. Not all people in the Ministry of Magic are good. Although Mrs. Selwyn has made her attitude clear and does not support the Dark Lord, you can tell from her last name that her husband is from the Selwyn family, a pure-blood family with a long history."

Sherlock is not very interested in what kind of person his future boss will be. Anyway, he has no intention of staying in the Ministry of Magic for a long time.

If he can find clues or methods to go back, he will definitely leave this timeline with Snape immediately.

Even if he can't find it in the end, Sherlock has no intention of staying in the Ministry of Magic forever.

"The traitor I caught seems to be called Algie? Has he been convicted now?" Sherlock asked.

Eddie sneered and shook his head.

"The Wizengamot's trial will not begin until three days later, and you should be invited to be a witness then. But judging from the recent news from the Ministry, his family is actively trying to get him off the hook by claiming that he was under the Death Eater Imperius Curse."

Sherlock frowned.

"How could anyone believe such an outrageous lie? Aren't there four Death Eaters who were caught together? Can't we use Veritaserum to get the truth out of them?"

"There has always been debate in the Ministry about whether Veritaserum should be used on wizards." Eddie said with a playful look, "A large number of people are against using Veritaserum to interrogate prisoners, saying that it is inhumane. The four Death Eaters were not qualified to be tried, and they were thrown directly into Azkaban after being caught."

Sherlock complained.

"Veritaserum is inhumane, but throwing prisoners into prison to be sucked by Dementors is humane? That's really outrageous."

Eddie was quite relaxed about this matter.

"However, according to the temper of the current Minister, Mr. Minkan, the possibility of Algy being found not guilty is very low, but due to the power of his family, he will not be imprisoned in Azkaban for a long time."

"Algy, who has been exposed, is a small problem." Eddie's face was slightly gloomy, "I feel that there are more than just traitors in Barty's Auror team, but some people have not been exposed and continue to hide."

Sherlock raised his eyebrows.

"Do you have any suspects?"

Eddie shook his head.

"No, but from the current situation, among the remaining four people in the Auror team, the families behind three of them have a very ambiguous attitude towards the Death Eaters. Only the Crouch family firmly opposes the Dark Lord, so Barty can basically be ruled out. If there are still traitors, they are likely to appear among the remaining three people."

Sherlock has no interest in who is the traitor. What he really cares about is the Death Eaters or Voldemort, and what he wants to get by letting people break into the Department of Mysteries.

The things that Voldemort wants now are definitely not ordinary.

But he certainly can't get in touch with these things now, and everything has to wait until he joins the Ministry of Magic.

"There is one more thing I want to ask you for help." Eddie touched Amy's head and said.

Sherlock signaled him to speak directly.

"The situation in the magic world is getting more and more tense now. I work in the Auror Office and basically can't leave the Ministry for a long time. The Death Eaters have obviously discovered Amy's existence. I can't leave her alone outside, so I want you to help me take care of Amy."

Sherlock hesitated and said: "Of course I am happy to help you with this. After all, I like Amy very much. But I have to work in the Department of Mysteries later. I can't take care of her during work hours, right?"

Eddie said: "If you want, I can apply to Mrs. Selwyn. There are very few employees in the Department of Mysteries. Everyone has an independent office, and the work they do is clerical, so it's just right for Amy to follow you."

Since he could convince the Ministry of Magic to let Sherlock bring his family to work, Sherlock had no intention of refusing.

Amy's intuition was very strong, and maybe she could help by following him in the Department of Mysteries.

"If that's the case, then of course."

After dinner, Eddie left alone that night.

Amy would continue to live with Sherlock. After Eddie arranged everything at the Ministry of Magic tomorrow, he would come to the Leaky Cauldron again and take Sherlock to go through the entry procedures.

No words were spoken that night.

The next morning, Sherlock informed Snape and let him know that he would enter the Ministry of Magic from today. Eddie arrived as scheduled at around ten o'clock in the morning.

"I have already told Mrs. Selwyn that if anyone asks about Amy's identity, you should tell the truth that it is a friend's child who is being taken care of on your behalf."

Although it has been agreed, today is the first day of going to go through the entry procedures, so Sherlock naturally cannot take Amy with him.

After leaving Amy to Snape's care for a day, Sherlock and Eddie went to the Ministry of Magic together.

The way they entered the Ministry of Magic was the same as when Sherlock took Harry to the Ministry of Magic, through the visitor's passage.

The Ministry of Magic more than ten years later has not changed much compared to the present period.

It's just that the staff members seem to be busier, and everyone's face is not relaxed. Considering the current situation, it is understandable that such a situation has occurred.
