“But this may be very small. With a high probability, I can still help you take care of Amy until she can go to school.”

Sherlock said with a relaxed look on his face.

Eddie did not say as lightly as he said to him, his brows still frowned.

“Where are you going?”

Sherlock looked at the gradually scarce crowd on the street outside the window and said softly.

“A place that no one can find.”

“No one can find it? Then why go?”

Sherlock waved.

“I said everything, it is possible, and the possibility is very small, so there is no need to ask so many questions.”

Eddie did not continue to ask again, but Amy, who was sitting next to him, suddenly tilted her head and looked at Sherlock’s eyes.

“Will John leave Amy one day?”

Sherlock did not treat the child perfunctorily. He raised his head and thought about it carefully, and finally answered honestly.

“I don’t know if this day will happen, but even if I leave, it will definitely be temporary. Just like when I meet, I will always meet again.”

Amy didn’t know why, as if her mood suddenly changed a little badly, she frowned with her slender brows.

“Amy doesn’t feel like this day!”

Sherlock joked, saying the same thing he said while playing the game.

“Is it really feeling, not deliberately deceiving myself?”

“It’s definitely true this time!”

She said with great firmness as if she was cheering herself up.

“Amy’s feelings have always been very accurate. If you think it is true, then it must be true.”

Sherlock stretched out his hand, supported the corner of her mouth, and gave her a smile.

But Amy’s brows were always frowning and did not let go.

After the supper that day, Sherlock went back to the broken cauldron bar.

Snape has not sent out the magic note that Sherlock gave him, and he has not yet thought of any good idea.

“Your movements should be faster, we shouldn’t stay in the UK for too long.”

Snape looked at him.

“Are you going to leave the Ministry of Magic?”

Sherlock nodded.

“There is nothing worth investigating in the Mysterious Affairs Division. I need to try another place and I will resign at the end of the month.”

“Why do I have to follow me? I want to stay in London.”

Sherlock looked at him seriously.

“I have been fulfilling the agreement between us. Even if the time is not yet available, I will help you consider ways to save Lily, so I hope you can also abide by the agreement. If I find a way to go back outside, the situation is urgent and there is a very likely no way to come back and take you there. You must go with me.”

Snape pursed his lips, he was silent for a long time, and finally said.

“Then give me two more days, and I will send the things over.”

“School has started now. Remember to pay attention when delivering things.” Sherlock reminded.

“I know.”
……

There are three days left before the end of the month when Sherlock plans to resign.

He was not idle these days. Although he had only worked in the time hall for two months, he still had some research results left. Sherlock summed up these things and was about to hand them over to Mrs. Selwin when he was about to leave.

Since that night, Amy has always been in a bad mood, and she has no interest in playing games, as if she has returned to what she hadn’t met Sherlock.

Every day I lay on the table, silently staring at the windmill in my hand in a daze.

This is how the child’s mood is. As unpredictable as the weather in Britain, Sherlock didn’t care much.

The Ministry of Magic has also had a lot of things recently.

Two days have passed, and the five-legged monsters in Oxford have not been caught clean, and there has been even an injury incident.

Fortunately, Auror arrived in time and did not let the Muggle die. He later cleared his memory and did not expand the situation.

But even so, it still caused a headache for the Ministry of Magic. He specially sent additional personnel to arrest all the five-legged monsters as soon as possible to prevent casualties.

And on the day when Sherlock prepared everything and planned to submit his resignation application, the Death Eater, who had been silent for a long time, finally came out to commit the crime again.

This time they attacked the Muggle Wizard Leo family in Scotland, and unscrupulously hung them behind the flying broom to parade in the sky.

The Aurors must send people to arrest the Death Eaters.
