Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Sherlock had a very free day today.

Of course, he wasn't very interested in the students' registration. He didn't even eat breakfast. He got up early in the morning and ate some leftover cookies from yesterday.

After that, he sat at his desk and played with the four wooden boxes that contained Fiddlesticks' soul.

After taking this thing from Silk's hand, Sherlock could really see its subtlety.

It is obvious that these four boxes were originally made as an alchemy tool, and later the boxes were artificially divided into four by special means, but the separation was only superficial.

The runes on the wooden box are still a whole. If only one box is affected, and if the other three boxes cannot be opened together, the creatures inside will also be unable to break free.

After being divided into four parts, even if it was a whole before, it will now become four different individuals. There is no way to coordinate its escape at the same time, which is equivalent to limiting its way out.

But as long as it keeps trying, it will always be lucky enough to succeed. But that time, that's why Sherlock specifically mentioned this matter to Silk last night.

The method Silk mentioned about how to completely control Fiddlesticks developed by the German Department of Mysteries was very compatible with Sherlock.

Because the two souls are compatible, and with the remnant soul of Voldemort used as the fusion agent, Sherlock, the next-generation Sherlock, dare not say that, but throughout the history of magic, no wizard can surpass him in terms of soul. .

So that method is impossible to achieve with other wizards, but Sherlock definitely has a chance.

It's just that this is information from the German Department of Mysteries, and Hilke has been there for more than ten years. These things are not something she can leak casually, and Sherlock doesn't want to embarrass her.

If he is sure that there is no other way, he will take the initiative to talk to people from the German Ministry of Magic together with Silk.

After all, they couldn't find another wizard with such strength of soul as him in the magic world, so the chance of success in the end was very high.

Just as he was stacking four wooden boxes in a row like playing with blocks, feeling the shock of Fiddlesticks' resistance inside, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Sherlock raised his eyebrows, put the wooden boxes into his pocket, and then said to the person outside the door.

"Please come in."

With a firm expression but uneasiness in her eyes, Hermione stooped and walked into the office. Behind her was a witch with bright silver hair and penetrating blue eyes.

Seeing Fleur, Sherlock couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

He could naturally guess why this girl came to him. In the letters she had written to him in the past, she had said countless times that when she came to Hogwarts, she would let him be a tour guide and take him here. Take a good tour of this ancient castle.

But since the summer vacation at the end of last semester, she hasn't written to him again. Sherlock thought she had forgotten about it. After all, he had never replied to her letters at all.

A girl of this age can only be enthusiastic for a short period of time, and will soon forget about it after not contacting her for a long time.

Unexpectedly, she prepared a "surprise" for herself, and the Triwizard Tournament that was reorganized this year actually came to Hogwarts.

Well, it's not that Sherlock doesn't want to keep his promise, it's just that this girl's energy makes him a little worried, thinking that she will have some inappropriate thoughts.

Alas, being too charming is also a sin.

Sherlock, who was feeling sad, temporarily ignored Fleur behind him, and instead focused on Hermione.

"What do you want from me? Miss Granger."

Hermione, who didn't feel much awkward even standing in front of Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore, became nervous under Sherlock's gaze for the first time today.

She hurriedly took out a simple small badge from her pocket and showed it to Sherlock.

"Professor Forrest, I, I would like to ask you to join the S.P.E.W. organization I created."

Sherlock asked with interest, looking at the small badge in her hand.

"S.p.e.w.? What's its full name? Do you have to introduce it to me?"

As if seeing her nervousness, Sherlock showed a gentle smile on his face, waved his hand gently, and the two chairs originally placed in the corner slid out on their own and stopped next to Hermione and Fleur respectively. .

"Sorry, I don't have any snacks here to entertain you today. I just finished all the cookies left over from yesterday for breakfast."

Fleur had not spoken except for looking at Sherlock since she entered the door. She was waiting for Hermione to finish what she wanted to say to Sherlock, and then see what the young professor who had not seen him for more than a year would say. How to enlighten his students.

Should he directly tell her that this matter is an absolutely impossible reality, or should he be gentler and tell her what the problem is that the student named Hermione is thinking about at the moment, and then reveal to her that wizards are wizards and elves are Elves, no matter how oppressed the elves are, there is no problem for the wizards themselves.

As for Sherlock agreeing with Hermione's ideas and agreeing with what she was doing now, Fleur had never thought about it.

As long as you are an adult with a sound mind, you will know that liberating house elves is completely impossible and meaningless.

In Fleur's mind, Sherlock was of course not a fool, but one of the smartest people in the entire magical world. She didn't think Sherlock would say such stupid things.

"The full name of s.p.e.w is the Society for the Advancement of House-elves' Rights and Interests. This is an organization that advocates for the rights and interests of house-elves."

Hermione's tone began to become smoother as she explained her thoughts.

"Professor, you should know that in the wizarding world, house elves exist. They serve various wizarding families, places and schools. Even Hogwarts Castle has a large number of elves working for free. Doing all kinds of jobs. They have no holidays, no pay, no private space of their own, and only obey the orders of wizards. They are no different from slaves in the Middle Ages."

"Although the elves are not wizards or even human beings, they all have their own thoughts and consciousness. Most of them are kind and upright, and each of them is absolutely loyal to the wizards. As a In a civilized society, even slavery in the magical world should not exist. This is also my original intention of creating this organization!"
