Pheonix 2

Not only other people, but even Sherlock himself was also almost unable to hold back, choking on his saliva.

Before he could speak, Tonks spoke again.

"No, you don't think it was me who used my own identity to go to Senior Forrest to confess? How could I be so ignorant of myself!"

she explained.

"It's my friend in the same dormitory, Pessie. She has always had a crush on Senior Forrest, but she was too shy to say it herself, so she asked me help her confess, if he agreed, She went on a date with the senior herself, and if he refused, she wouldn't be too sad if it was me who was rejected anyway."

When the people around heard the words behind, they recovered from their shocked expressions, and Kingsley asked with interest.

"Did Sherlock agree at that time?"

They all turned their eyes to Sherlock. Sherlock was speechless for a while. How could he know whether he answered or not, so he could only shake his head indifferently?

"I don't remember."

"Hey! Thats's heartless. Although the confession wasn't very honest, it was the first time I said I liked someone. But you don't remember it anymore."

Tonks looked sad, but she was pretending.

"When you rejected me, I acted very similarly. I covered my face and cried and ran away. I thought you would stop me."

Even Bill said with a smile.

"Sherlock is still very popular at school. Every semester, many students write love letters to him. I've heard it two grades ahead of him."

"But he's already twenty years old and he doesn't have a girlfriend yet." Kingsley was really worried about this, "Would you like me to introduce Sherlock to you, there are a lot of newcomers to the Ministry of Magic recently."

How did you start talking about these topics that only the seventh aunt and eighth aunt would say?

Sherlock complained helplessly in his heart, and of course, he refused at this time.

"I have no plans for this for the time being. I will do my job as a professor at Hogwarts first."

Just when Kingsley was still trying to persuade him, Mrs. Weasley saved him. The preparations were almost done, and the dinner could begin.

The wizards sat down on both sides of the long table, with Dumbledore sitting at the head of the table.

Even without the name of the Order of the Phoenix, he is the oldest and the highest-ranking person here, so he should be sitting in this position.

Professor McGonagall was sitting on the left of his chair, and Sherlock was about to walk by and sit with Bill in a corner of the last row of the long table.

Dumbledore suddenly grabbed his arm and gestured to the chair on the right.

"You sit beside me, Sherlock."

Sherlock didn't want to make himself so conspicuous in front of so many people, but of course, he couldn't refuse Dumbledore's words, so he could only sit down to the right of his hand.

There were about 20 or 30 wizards who came to the party. Just as Dumbledore said, these wizards had all kinds of professions. Most of them were middle-aged wizards, and the old and young only accounted for a small part.

After learning that the original owner had joined the Order of the Phoenix, Sherlock had done a lot of homework and learned what the Order of the Phoenix had done since its establishment.

He knew very well why there were so few elderly people in this organization that had been established for 20 years.

Most of those first-generation members of the Order of the Phoenix died in the First Wizarding War, the war with Voldemort in the 1970s.

The young people who were protected have grown into the mainstay of today, like Kingsley.

And because of the silence for the past ten years, the Order of the Phoenix has absorbed very few young members, most of which are internally digested. For example, the Weasleys intend to bring Bill into the Order of the Phoenix. Tonks is not completely unrelated to the Order of the Phoenix. Her mother, Andromeda Tonks, was also an ally of the Order of the Phoenix and her mentor was Moody.

As for Sherlock, he could naturally guess by now that the original owner's mother was probably a member of the Order of the Phoenix before her death.

Otherwise, the Weasleys, Professor McGonagall, Moody and Kingsley, the original Order of the Phoenix, would have no reason to care so much about him.

Therefore, the young people who join the Order of the Phoenix now are the second generation of Phoenix, and it is difficult to develop their power outside.

But this is understandable, mainly to avoid touching the sensitive nerves of the politicians in the Ministry of Magic.

Of course, the more than 20 wizards sitting here are not all of the existing members of the Order of the Phoenix, and there must be many people who have not rushed over.

After everyone was seated, Dumbledore looked around at everyone with a smile.

"I am very happy to see you here this year. It proves that you have had a good time this year. What makes me even more happy is that there are new faces to join this year, But before that let us enjoy this wonderful food first."

The wizards began to chat and laugh about their experiences in the past year.

Some of them were professional adventurers, who spent a year travelling around the entire Eurasian continent, chatting interestingly about their experiences in different places.

And the owner of a magic tool shop in Diagon Alley talked about what new gadgets wizards in the magic world have come up with this year.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very good. Sherlock could see that the people gathered here were not for any interests or status, but had common ideals and goals.

Just as the dinner was going on in a friendly manner, a stout-looking wizard suddenly spoke to Dumbledore.

"We do want new members, but I think that letting Sherlock Forrest join the Order of the Phoenix is ​​a bit contrary to the vow we set Dumbledore."

The name of the person questioning was Dedalus Diggle. He was one of the original members of the Order of the Phoenix, and he was considered to be the only elder sitting here.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the wizard chatting at the long table suddenly became quiet. The few dozen members of the Order of the Phoenix who knew the inside story all looked at Dumbledore. They all had the same idea as Di Ge.

As the party was concerned, Sherlock sat upright on the chair with a cold expression.

When he was about to pretend to ask why he couldn't join the Order of the Phoenix, before Dumbledore gently extended a hand to him and stopped him from performing.

Dumbledore's face was calm, he said seriously.

"I know what doubts you have. After all, we made a promise at that time, but we must also respect Sherlock's own opinion."

Editor: Yes I see the plot hole that Kingsley and Tonks were not in the order at this point and time but it's a slight au so roll with it.
