Chapter 111: The Liars
More than fifty wands are suspended behind the goblin, and the moment Sherlock utters a chant, the tip of each wand lights up with a faint red light.
The goblin who was dragging Jonathan and Fleur was suddenly alerted. He turned around abruptly and saw the wands. He subconsciously rolled to the left to dodge. But the next second, another red light shines.
Eight spells hit, and the goblin was weakened. He wanted to point out Sherlock with his finger, but the movement became extremely slow.
After another spell hit him again, his entire bodypletely stopped in ce and fell powerlessly to the ground. Thest wave of spells followed, constantly reinforcing the effect of the spell. Seeing the effect of the spell, Sherlock smacked his lips, shook his head, and muttered to himself.
“The effect of a single spell is still too low. It must be hit at least ten spells to be effective on him, and it is best that all wands should be shot at the same time to minimize his dodging it.”
Sherlock manipted these wands using magic he learned by sewing up his own soul using Riddle’s soul as the thread. Because of this magic’s unique characteristics, Sherlock named it Full Control.
At first, he only found it convenient to use it in daily life. He couldpletely control it without his hands. He didn’t even need to use a wand and could use this to rece most of his work. Later, since it can rece his hands, can he use it to control the wand to cast a spell?
Sherlock seeded in the first experiment, verifying that his guess was correct.
However, the effect of the magic used in this way is weakened. He didn’t expect it toe in handy today, and it also gave him a new idea for solving the spell’s weakened power.Hemanded several wands to float to his side and cast a Severing Charm on the ropes that bound him. The rope was torn apart, and Sherlock stood up and walked to the goblin.
“You havemitted a serious crime. You are a goblin and steal a wizard’s wand. You would probably be sentenced by a Dementorter.” Sherlock uses the Levitate Charm to float Jonathan, the goblin, and Fleur.
Stunning Charm is the only spell without a counter spell to remove its effect, and he can only wait for them to wake up by themselves. Although the goblin was petrified, he could hear what Sherlock said.
There was a hint of fear in its eyes, but it still stared at him sternly. Sherlock didn’t care about its gaze but waved his hand. After putting all the fifty wands back into the wooden box, he took the three and walked to the periphery of the woods.
Many young wizards have found the fragments of the Sorcerer’s Stone, and problems have urred. mel that appeared here is a fake one, and the fragments hidden are naturally fake, too.
Sherlock met a few of the wizards, told them the truth of the matter, and asked the local wizards in France to go to the Ministry of Magic to find the Aurors. Soon, all the young wizards in the woods knew they had been deceived. They gathered again on thewn, looking at the goblin and Jonathan in disbelief.
No one could have imagined that someone would impersonate mel and trap them all. Among them, the wizards who had fought in the woods were even more mad. A few of them fought against each other for a fake fragment. If this is spread, they will definitely be aughing stock.
The Aurors came quickly, and Fleur’s father also rushed over in person.
Sherlock told him things, including Jonathan’s n to capture Fleur and sell her on the ck market, which scared him for a while. He thanked Sherlock and hurriedly sent Fleur back home.
The Auror’s actions towards the goblin and Jonathan are even more serious because they don’t know where the real Nichs mel is right now. It took them less than ten minutes to use the Veritaserum and pour it into the goblin without saying a word.
From what he said, they never saw mel at all. But more than a week ago, he saw the message on mel’s house and learned that mel had something to go out for a few days.
So, they nned to execute this n. Given that Jonathan has an insane interest in and desire for wands,
Those who receive a letter of rmendation and visit mel are considered to be the best wizards. ording to local French customs, the cores of their wandse from their ancestors and various magical substances.
He eyed their wands, changed the time on mel’s message, and pretended to be mel to trick them all. The goblin and Jonathan are partners; one needs a wand, and the other only needs money.
They had their eye on Fleur in advance, and took her wand as well beforehand. They tried to set up a n when they were in Aspe. At that time, Fleur should have fallen into the trap they had prepared.
Unexpectedly, Sherlock and Harry happened to meet her on the way, and took her back to Paris, leaving Jonathan in a hurry and couldn’t find Fleur. After arriving in Paris, they were stubborn and used her schoolmate to set up a trap, which Sherlock finally saw.
The French Ministry of Magic took this matter seriously, and a deputy head of the Auror Command came to investigate the case. After seeing Sherlock, he held his hand with great joy and thanked him.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Forrest. If you hadn’t noticed it, these two scammers would have slipped away from France and headed to the United States after they seeded, allowing us to never catch them again. We have also reached out to Mr. mel regarding this, and he is on his way back now.”
In the French Ministry of Magic, Sherlock and Harry have be their guests at this time. After taking notes from them and learning the whole process of the matter, they were ced in afortable room.
The Deputy Auror personally apanied them, and there was even a n to present them with an award. The deputy thanked them and said that the real Nichs mel would be back soon. Aftering to thank them in person, he left the room.
Sherlock had time to ask Harry about the situation, and Harry told him how the goblin turned into Fleur and nned to attack him.
“Jonathan took a fancy to your wand, the famous Harry Potter wand. If he got it, he would sleep with itter that night.” Sherlock drank the tea prepared for them by the Ministry of Magic and joked with Harry.
Harry was terrified for a while, “Fortunately, Professor, you told me about it, or I would’ve lost my wand that day.”
“It’s also thanks to you that you are more clever than before and responded in a timely manner. I didn’t expect that he didn’t pretend to be me but turned into Fleur.”
While they were chatting, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside. An old man with silver hair, a wrinkled face, and a familiar appearance walked in.
It was Nichs mel. To be able toe to the Ministry of Magic, this must not be a fake one. Sherlock grabbed Harry and stood up from the sofa to show respect for him.
“Mr. mel.”
mel waved his hand casually, “There’s no need to be so formal in front of me. Dumbledore and I are old friends. He wrote me a letter mentioning you, especially since you’ve done me such a big favor.”
He sat down on the sofa, and Sherlock and Harry both sat down again.
“Because my wife’s body has some unexpected conditions, I have been with her in a hospital in Germanytely. I didn’t know that such a thing happened until today. Thank you. Things could’ve done really bad for the guests and me.” mel thanked Sherlock.
Sherlock said modestly, “You’re too kind, Mr. mel. We just happened to find out the truth of the matter. Besides, it was both of them who were trying to trick them, not you.”
mel shook his head with a smile. Even if they were pretending to be him, when the news spread, they didn’t know what the outside world would say about this.
