Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Harry always remembered Sherlock's warning to him and only summoned Lily for an hour at most every day to let her chat with him.

After more than a month at the Dursleys' house, even though Harry had been hiding it, Lily was an extremely smart witch. From clues, she clearly discovered that Harry was not living well at her sister's house. .

It can even be said to be very bad.

In this regard, she did not accuse her sister Petunia in front of Harry, but just apologized to Harry with a sad look on her face.

She knew that Petunia's family had vented their grievances against her and James on Harry, and the two families had completely cut off all contact before Harry was born.

Now that the Dursleys are willing to take risks to accept Harry, Lily can't say anything to accuse her. She can only attribute the fault to herself and James.

Harry was very open-minded about this. He had long been used to the Dursleys' attitude towards him.

He also came over to comfort Lily and said that at least he was living a pretty good life now, wasn't he?

With two friends like Ron and Hermione, as well as elders like Professor Forrester and the Weasleys who love and care for him, and now even his mother can always be by his side, Harry doesn't know how unfortunate he is. But lucky enough.

Lily was very pleased that Harry had such an idea. During the two months she spent with Harry, she had figured out that although her son had lived in a very harsh environment since he was a child, he had not grown crooked. Become a resentful, self-defeating person.

But at the same time, Lily did not relax her teachings to Harry.

While she saw her son's strengths, she also saw his flaws.

In the quiet Gryffindor lounge at night, Harry lowered his voice and was telling Lily in a low voice about the re-convening of the Triwizard Tournament this semester. He expressed with envy that if only he was old enough, he would If you sign up, you might have a good chance of being selected.

"I have never doubted your ability, Harry." Lily confirmed, and then her tone became a little serious, "But I still want to remind you that bravery is a good virtue, but recklessness is not. When something doesn't work, It can be solved if you need to take risks, but you have to take that risk. This is the wisdom of Gryffindor that is lost. "

"Your father was like this at the beginning, so I didn't like him at all when we first met. He always liked to take some meaningless adventures to show his bravery, but that kind of behavior would not be criticized. praised by people.”

"True bravery is when facing an unavoidable danger, having the courage to stand up and face it instead of shrinking back. This is the spirit of Gryffindor."

There was no look of impatience on Harry's face. He cherished every conversation he had with Lily, because the harder it was, the more precious it was.

After Lily said this, her face calmed down again, she showed a gentle smile again, and stretched out her hand to stroke Harry's hair, making imaginary contact with Harry's black hair, but nothing was touched.

"I am not telling you this to make you think about shrinking back when you encounter difficulties. Courage is still the most noble character."

"I remember when I was in school, one year when we won the House Cup that semester, when we were celebrating with Professor McGonagall in the Gryffindor common room, Professor McGonagall asked all of us a question question."

Harry asked, blinking.

"what is the problem?"

"She asked us [Do you know why the Gryffindor students are always the most outstanding and eye-catching ones in Hogwarts?]"

Harry said thoughtfully.

"Because Gryffindor students are the most active?"

Lily's face was calm, her eyes were full of longing and memories, and she spoke softly.

"The professor said [because courage comes first in everything!]"

...

Silk's office is not very far from Sherlock's.

They were both on the third floor, separated by two stairs.

Early in the morning on the first official day of class, Sherlock got up early, prepared everything he needed for class, then changed into his robe and put the things he had prepared in advance into his pocket.

After taking care of himself, he walked to Silk's office.

Without knocking on the door, Sherlock just leaned in front of the door and waited quietly. Silk, who was fully dressed and with a black ribbon covering his eyes, opened the door and walked out of the office without letting him wait for long.

As she walked out, Sherlock naturally bowed and waved as a gentleman.

"Ah, this beautiful young lady, can I invite you to have breakfast with me?"

The corners of Hilke's mouth subconsciously turned up slightly, but she soon straightened her face again, glanced at him expressionlessly at Sherlock, and walked past him towards the stairs.

Sherlock followed her with a smile and continued to admit her mistake.

"It's been so long, and it's time to let go of my anger. I know it's my fault. I still treat you like a child, but this really won't change in a short time."

"It's only been one night, but I'm not feeling calm anymore."

"Then I should feel a little better now. I feel a little better after all."

"Not a drop of it."

"Okay, I'm guilty. I apologize. Miss Vera is beautiful, generous and sensible. She doesn't need to worry about someone like me who is one year younger than her. In order to express my apology, I specially prepared an apology."

Silk stopped and saw what Sherlock took out of his pocket with a smile and a wink.

It was a small glass bottle like a pendant. The bottle was diamond-shaped and had some decorative patterns on it. The bottle alone was very beautiful. Through the transparent glass, you could see some light golden liquid inside. Flow quietly.

Silke naturally recognized what this thing was at a glance.

She raised her head and glanced at Sherlock. The expression on her face showed no signs of warming, and her tone remained cold.

"You still don't trust me."

Sherlock didn't deny it, he raised his eyebrows and said.

"This has nothing to do with whether I treat you as a child or not. As you said, friends are also worried about each other's safety. This is my concern between friends, not the worry of elders towards younger generations."

Although Hilke could tell that he was secretly changing concepts and talking sweet words, even just listening to it made her mood change from gloomy to sunny, but she didn't show it on her face, nor did she accept the bottle of elixir. He still said with a straight face.

"I don't need it, you can keep it for yourself."

Sherlock didn't give her a chance to refuse and just hung it around her neck.

"This was given to me by Slughorn, the professor my mother had the best relationship with, when I first came to Hogwarts, but it has been two years and I have never had the chance to use it. If you If you don’t need it, just use it as a pendant. At least it looks much prettier than the ones sold in Diagon Alley.”
