Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Even if the search of the students was fruitless, the teaching routine at Hogwarts had to continue.

But Dumbledore was not immune to this.

After Colin was attacked and all of Hagrid's chickens were strangled to death, Dumbledore specifically asked Hagrid to buy a group of healthy roosters from outside and raise them separately.

These seemingly inconspicuous animals are actually the best weapons against basilisks.

However, the atmosphere among the students has clearly changed from before.

This time, the unease did not disappear for a while, but spread among the students.

Sherlock was especially aware of this phenomenon.

After he finished his second-year Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he could clearly feel it. The students' performance after class is not as active as before.

He tapped the podium with the book, drawing the little wizard's attention to him.

"In the next class, we will start talking about snake-like black magic creatures. Interested students can prepare in advance, collect data, and prepare for next week's class."

As soon as he finished speaking, a Ravenclaw student raised his hand and asked strangely.

"But Professor, we don't have any content about snake-like black magic creatures in our textbooks this year?"

The other students also looked suspicious.

Explaining snake-like black magic creatures is naturally to let these children know some relevant weaknesses and knowledge about basilisks in advance, so as to prevent the next attack from happening again, these students at least know how to save their lives.

This is not only Sherlock's own idea, he also consulted Dumbledore, and the other party agreed with him.

In the face of the students' questions, he found an excuse to deal with it.

"You guys have been too nervous recently. Let's leave the book temporarily and find some interesting knowledge."

The students looked at each other, they didn't think snakes were any interesting magical knowledge.

However, Hogwarts has no clear rules on how to teach in class.

The class of Defense Against the Dark Arts is Sherlock's. Even if he wants to teach students to study nuclear fission in class, students can only listen and learn.

Just as Sherlock was packing up and preparing to leave, the three of them suddenly and quietly touched him again.

Sherlock stopped, glanced at them and said.

"I heard that you were yelling in the auditorium yesterday that you wanted to see me? Is there anything else? Don't you still suspect that I am actually the murderer?"

Harry smiled awkwardly and rubbed his hands together.

"Without a professor, how could we possibly suspect that you are the murderer? We just want to ask you a favor, a small favor."

Hermione hurriedly handed a piece of parchment in her hand to Sherlock's hand, and then looked at him expectantly with Ron Harry and the others.

Sherlock glanced suspiciously at their strange behavior before looking at the parchment.

The above is just a simple line of words:

'Harry won't pick up the copper nut at Hogwarts today. ’

After reading the above line, Sherlock looked at them even more strangely.

"How do I know if Harry can pick up the money at Hogwarts today? What are you doing? A magical spell that uses language as a medium? You want to curse me?"

It's your old man who cursed us, and it's almost the same!

Of course, Harry and the others didn't dare to say it in front of Sherlock, and they didn't have any reason for Sherlock to read this sentence, so they could only keep pestering him and begging.

"Professor, we are only thirteen years old! How can we curse you! I really just want to ask you a favor, just read this sentence out, just read it out!"

"Please Professor! This really means a lot to us! Please!"

"I have no credit and hard work for you, Professor,

Think about the hard work of me helping you collect your homework, helping you borrow books from the library, and helping you pass messages to other professors, so please help! "

Sherlock looked at these three students who seemed to be out of their minds speechlessly, and was very suspicious of how they finally defeated Voldemort.

He was so annoyed that there was nothing he could do, so he would deduct points from these three stinky boys for this, so he said something perfunctory.

"Harry won't pick up the copper nut at Hogwarts today, will that be alright? Don't bother me, let's go."

All three of Harry's faces suddenly showed a look of joy.

However, they did not leave immediately, but asked cautiously.

"Professor, do you think Harry can really find money in the castle?"

Sherlock was a little tired of being tossed about by them.

"How do I know if he can find money in the castle? If I knew this, would I tell you?"

Hearing him say this, Harry and the others cheered even more, bowed their heads and thanked him one by one, and then ran away in two steps.

Sherlock went back to his office to prepare relevant materials about snake-like black magic creatures. He must not just talk about basilisks, it would be too obvious, so he had a lot of work.

After Harry, Hermione, and Ron requested the Crowbeak's prophecy from Sherlock, they spent the rest of the time wandering around the castle.

They kept their eyes fixed on the ground as they walked, hoping that Harry would pick up a copper nut.

During lunch time, Ginny stared at Ron and the others curiously.

"Why are you staring under the table? I thought I dropped the food?"

There was no gain for a morning, which made Ron a little irritable, and he waved Ginny away.

"It's none of your business."

Ginny pouted and snorted, not in the mood to share her experience in the principal's office yesterday with them.

In the afternoon, Harry and the others have a spell class to attend, so they can't stroll around the castle all the time.

However, after the curse was over, they continued to start their own money-gathering business.

If Harry can really pick up a copper nut in the castle today, it means that Sherlock's crow's mouth is a miracle, and even if it goes against his heart, it can be activated successfully.

Then Hogwarts will be saved!

But they didn't see anything like coins for a day until they finished supper, let alone copper nut.

It wasn't until curfew time was about to start that Harry and the three returned to the Gryffindor lounge in disappointment.

"It seems that if the professor's crow mouth wants to launch a success, he must tell the truth."

Ron said disappointedly.

Although Hermione was also very disappointed, she had expected such a result.

"If the professor with a utilitarian mentality can activate this ability no matter what he says, then he will be more powerful than all the wizards in the world."
