and they don't hide it from john because mycroft's like "what do you make of this" and sherlock's like "it's in code *squint*" and mycroft's like "it's suspected to do wit a terroist plot"
and john's seeing "MINISTRY OF MAGIC BAFFLED. MYSTERIOUS MUGGLE DEATHS PERSIST. VOLDEMORT BACK YET AGAIN???? READ MORE ON PAGE A3"
while they're all poring over it and like "look here, the repetition of the words in these two sctions, it could be a cipher, do you see the same words i see? yes? great let's write it down and start investigating, can you get more samples of a similar text?"
and john's like "wheeeeelllllp"
and it's really important -- people are dying, the ministry of magic's interfering, etc etc. and it might be wizards but that doesn't mean wizards are invincible anymore (seriously, teargas and a smoke bomb and a gun or taser, and whatever)

and they're like "WAT DO"
and john's like "um yeah"
and mycrof'ts like "YER A WIZARD, HARRY"
and then he helps them yay (maybe more onthis later when it's not late, and when i have more brainjuices to spare for plottin)
