I’m Only A Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor

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 body completely stopped in place and fell powerlessly to the ground. The last 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 manipulated 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 could completely control it without his hands. He didn’t even need to use a wand and could use this to replace most of his work. Later, since it can replace his hands, can he use it to control the wand to cast a spell?

Sherlock succeeded 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 to come in handy today, and it also gave him a new idea for solving the spell’s weakened power.

He commanded 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 have committed a serious crime. You are a goblin and steal a wizard’s wand. You would probably be sentenced by a Dementor later.” 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 occurred. Flamel 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 the lawn, looking at the goblin and Jonathan in disbelief.

No one could have imagined that someone would impersonate Flamel 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 become a laughing stock.

The Aurors came quickly, and Fleur’s father also rushed over in person.

Sherlock told him things, including Jonathan’s plan to capture Fleur and sell her on the black 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 Nicholas Flamel 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 Flamel at all. But more than a week ago, he saw the message on Flamel’s house and learned that Flamel had something to go out for a few days.

So, they planned to execute this plan. Given that Jonathan has an insane interest in and desire for wands,

Those who receive a letter of recommendation and visit Flamel are considered to be the best wizards. According to local French customs, the cores of their wands come from their ancestors and various magical substances.

He eyed their wands, changed the time on Flamel’s message, and pretended to be Flamel 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 plan 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 succeeded, allowing us to never catch them again. We have also reached out to Mr. Flamel regarding this, and he is on his way back now.”

In the French Ministry of Magic, Sherlock and Harry have become their guests at this time. After taking notes from them and learning the whole process of the matter, they were placed in a comfortable room.

The Deputy Auror personally accompanied them, and there was even a plan to present them with an award. The deputy thanked them and said that the real Nicholas Flamel would be back soon. After coming 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 planned to attack him.

“Jonathan took a fancy to your wand, the famous Harry Potter wand. If he got it, he would sleep with it later 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 Nicholas Flamel. To be able to come 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. Flamel.”

Flamel 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 Germany lately. I didn’t know that such a thing happened until today. Thank you. Things could’ve done really bad for the guests and me.” Flamel thanked Sherlock.

Sherlock said modestly, “You’re too kind, Mr. Flamel. 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.”

Flamel 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.
