I’m Only A Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor

Chapter 117: An Unspeakable

“The centaur who smuggled and sold the eggs of the forbidden magical creature that I caught last time has now been released.”

Harry heard a female voice saying something.

“When I caught him, he threatened me and wanted to take me out. I gave him a dancing spell at that time, which made his four legs dance for an hour before he was tired and lay on the ground. “

Another voice sounded, and the figure seemed to be very close to him, just above his head, “I’ve never seen centaurs. I’ve always heard that the largest centaur tribe in the wizarding world lives in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts. But I’ve never seen them. Professor Dumbledore would not allow us to go there to check them out. I thought the centaurs were like a group of horse-headed people.”

Harry frowned, and he felt really cold. The two women in his ears kept talking, which made his head a little bit clearer, but he had difficulty opening his eyes.

“Hey, he seems to be awake, Tonks.”

Tonks lowered her head and put his head on her lap. Harry, who had just woken up, saw her eyes and showed a smile. When Harry opened his eyes, he was greeted by a horse face. The horse’s face had bright pink hair, and they grinned terrifyingly at him.

Staring at the creature, Harry’s face became dull, and his eyes gradually began to fade. The things that had happened to him beforehand had drained his mind, and in the end, he fainted again.

“You scared him, Tonks!” The female Auror Flora saw Harry’s condition and shouted in surprise.

Tonks then remembered that her face was still formed into a horse’s face, hurriedly restored it to its original state, and slapped Harry’s face.

“Wake up, Harry. If Kingsley knows I’ve frightened you out again, he’ll scold me to death!”

Harry didn’t look like he was about to wake up. He seemed to have found something wrong with today, and he would rather pass out and avoid this day than wake up.

Tonks tried to use a spell on Harry, but this only works for a Stunning Charm. Unfortunately, Harry didn’t pass out after being struck by the Stunning Charm, and the spell had no effect on him.

“Maybe he needs a little hot chocolate. It’s usually a good thing after being encountered by a Dementor.”

To make up for her mistake, Tonks began to go to an infirmary ward. She brought the cup of hot chocolate to Harry’s mouth, but accidentally, the cup was not held firmly, and part of it was spilled on Harry’s hair!

“Careful, Tonks!” Flora screamed.

“I didn’t mean to! I’m sorry, Harry! Luckily, it’s not too hot. I’ll clean it up with a cleaning spell for you!”

Sherlock was unaware of what was happening to Harry right now. He and Kingsley were still in the investigation room, studying the bodies.

“What the Dementors said might be a clue,” Sherlock said thoughtfully. “You said just now that the leader said they could sense that something terrifying had landed on Britain?”

Kingsley nodded, “Correct.”

“Something that can make the Dementors feel it…” Sherlock shook his head. It’s really hard to think of, let alone think of, who could have done it. Even today, there are still many unknown dark creatures in the world. It is estimated that the creatures we have discovered now only account for about 80%. The other 20% might be the dark creatures still lurking in the unknown.”

Kingsley was silent for a moment, then sighed after a long time.

“The most important thing is that we have no way of knowing the behavior of this creature. Their body seems too cold when they eat their soul. Whether it is a Muggle or a wizard, anyone can be its target. Who is and where we are is something that we don’t know.”

Sherlock was also speechless. This was indeed the problem they had to think about. Not only did they not know what creature was causing this, but they couldn’t even figure out the pattern of their behavior.

Just when the room fell silent, the door of the room was suddenly pulled open from the outside. An Auror with long hair and bushy eyebrows walked in.

“Mr. Scrimgeour.” Kingsley immediately bowed his head.

The person who came was Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the office of the Ministry of Magic and the head of all Aurors in the British Ministry of Magic. No matter how much he muttered about this person behind his back, Kingsley still had to show enough respect in front of him. After all, this is his boss.

Scrimgeour nodded and turned his attention to Sherlock, “Forrest is here too.”

“He has a deep study of dark creatures, so I asked him to help to see the situation.”

“I have always known his talent regarding that even after rejecting his several applications to participate in field missions. I didn’t expect that just over a year later, you resigned from here.”

Scrimgeour and Sherlock looked at each other, and Sherlock shrugged. “I’m sorry. Becoming a professor at Hogwarts is my dream, and working at the Ministry is just a way to spend my spare time.”

“Although I don’t like to hear it, at least you’re enjoying your life.”

Scrimgeour pushed the door open and invited three wizards in, “You can stop investigating this case. A client will come to take over it.”

Sherlock and Kingsley looked together at the three wizards who had entered after Scrimgeour. It was two wizards and a witch. The wizards wore black robes that were different from those of the British Ministry of Magic. Sherlock actually knew the witch that was standing there.

She was also wearing a black robe with a wide hood on her head, covering the upper half of her face, and only a few long silver-gray hairs were exposed from the hood. At the end of the Hogwarts term, Dumbledore asked Sherlock to help take her to the Forbidden Forest to a grave; it was the German Witch Silk.

Kingsley looked at the three who entered the door in surprise, “Who are these?”

Scrimgeour introduced him, “These two are the Aurors of the German Ministry of Magic, Andre Henri and Etrich Haas. This lady is an ‘Unspeakable’ from the Department of Mysteries of the German Ministry of Magic, Willow Silk.”

Kingsley didn’t know the two Aurors in front of him, but after learning the witch’s identity, his eyes became serious.

Unspeakable.

This is one of the most mysterious professions in the Ministry of Magic in any country. The Department of Mysteries at the British Ministry of Magic has an unknown number of Unspeakable who study the most incomprehensible things in the wizarding world, and no one knows what kind of people they are.

Even this was the first Unspeakable person Kingsley had seen in all his years at the Ministry of Magic.

Scrimgeour glanced at the six bodies on the bed and continued, “What happened in the UK this time was that the murderer escaped from Germany. These three are here for this matter, so it’s out of our control now. Let’s just focus on Black’s case.”

Kingsley stared at the two German Aurors. They didn’t look like someone who would get to the bottom of things. Since someone was already in charge of this matter, he didn’t complain or ask any more questions.

“Do I need to provide them with the relevant information to them?”

“They know more about the murderer than you think, so they don’t need anything. Just leave it to them here.”

Kingsley nodded and prepared to leave with Sherlock. Sherlock greeted when he walked to Silk’s side.

“See you later, ma’am.”

Silk seemed to nod slightly.

After Kingsley and Sherlock came out of the investigation room together, he asked in surprise, “You know that German Unspeakable?”

Sherlock spread his hands, “We just met once at Hogwarts. She seems to have some family member buried in the Forbidden Forest, and Dumbledore asked me to show her the way there.”

Kingsley sighed, “We were asked not to worry about this matter. I always feel that the things here are not very simple.”

“Even if it’s not the case, it doesn’t matter to us now.” Sherlock put a hand on his shoulder, and the two of them walked to the Auror headquarters, “Do you want to eat? Harry and I are going to have dinner.”

Kingsley smiled and said, “Oh, thank you.”

“Well, I’m just doing it to make up for his birthday.”

After they left the investigation room, Silk stood silently and did not move. The other two German Aurors, Henri, and Haas, had already stepped forward to check the condition of all the bodies.

“It’s definitely it. The first five cases were all Muggles, and the most recent victim was a wizard, which means that its power is getting stronger and its appetite is getting bigger.” Haas analyzed.

Henri also said, “It’s moving too fast, and we can’t figure out why it didn’t escape to the nearest island but came to England.”

At this time, Silk finally spoke. Her voice was cold and ethereal, “Its destination is Hogwarts.”
