Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts

“Sherlock, are you giving me a surprise today?”

Hearing Sherlock's invitation, Harry's eyes widened in surprise.

For him, being able to stay at Hogwarts was already a great option.

He never expected that Sherlock would invite him home for the New Year.

This is definitely a pleasant surprise.

Sherlock nodded, then turned to Ron, "And you, Ron."

Ron was taken aback, pointing at himself, "Me?"

"Yes, you don't have to stay at school either. Come to my house with Harry."

"But Ron wasn't originally required to stay at school, right?" Hermione asked, puzzled.

"Mr. and Mrs. Weasley are going to Romania to visit Charlie Weasley. Ron and his three brothers will be staying at school this time."

"How do you know?"

Ron's eyes widened even more than Harry's had, "I haven't even told you yet!"

Sherlock smiled slightly at him: "Are you sure you want to know?"

"Uh… never mind, you must have deduced it through observation again."

Ron said dejectedly.

Every time he heard Sherlock's reasoning process, he felt like his IQ was being crushed.

So, unless it was necessary, he would rather skip the process.

Besides, even if Sherlock didn't say it, he had already vaguely guessed something.

After all, he had sent a letter home with an owl just a few days ago.

With Sherlock's observation skills, deducing this was simply too easy.

In short, at Sherlock's invitation, Harry and Ron would be spending this Christmas holiday at Sherlock's house.

Out of a desire to show off, this matter was quickly “inadvertently” publicized by Ron.

After all, Sherlock is now a prominent figure in the school.

Although his personality is eccentric, and he offends people easily when he speaks.

However, the ability to deduce what someone did yesterday with just one glance still makes all the young wizards admire him.

Moreover, as long as you can ignore the nasty side of his personality and just focus on consulting him, it actually feels pretty good.

In this case, being able to receive his invitation is undoubtedly something to boast about.

“Sorry, I shouldn’t have said that… Achoo!”

Listening to Malfoy's mockery of Harry, Ron said in a muffled voice.

With the holiday approaching, Ron caught a cold, and even his voice changed.

“It’s okay…”

Harry just started to speak, but Sherlock calmly interrupted, "Why apologize? You're just stating a fact."

Ron: (o≖◡≖)

This was the first time Ron felt that Sherlock's words sounded so pleasant.

He straightened his back instantly.

That's right, Malfoy is the one who made the mistake, what does it have to do with me, Ronald?

“Potter, talking during class, Gryffindor loses five points!”

By now, Harry was completely used to being docked points for various reasons.

Especially after hearing Sherlock's explanation of Professor Snape's true feelings in the first Potions class, Harry's gaze towards the other party was completely different.

He is, after all, a kind child, and after learning the truth...

Of course, he chose to forgive him!

So, at this time, he was completely calm and indifferent.

This made Snape even more annoyed.

Until he reluctantly finished deducting so many points that Gryffindor became 'Gryffin-sucks-dor', the Potions class just ended.

Everyone left the underground classroom and was stunned to find that the corridor ahead was completely blocked by a huge fir tree.

At first, everyone was a little confused, but when they saw the two big feet under the tree and heard the loud panting, they immediately understood who was behind the tree.

There was only one person in the entire Hogwarts who could do this job without magic, relying only on his own strength.

Ron curiously poked his head through the branches and saw a familiar face covered in a beard.

“Hey, Hagrid, need… cough cough… any help?”

“No, I can do it myself, thank you, Ron.”

“Get out of the way, good dog doesn’t block the road!”

Just as the two were having a friendly exchange, Malfoy's voice came from behind Ron.

“I guess you’re probably trying to earn some pocket money, Weasley?

Or maybe you hope to guard the gamekeeper's grounds after you graduate from Hogwarts?

After all, Hagrid's hut is like a palace compared to your old home.”

It must be said that Malfoy is quite skilled at being sarcastic.

Moreover, after listening to Sherlock's analysis last time, Ron really had such thoughts.

So, as expected, he was provoked by Malfoy at this time.

However, just as he was about to rush towards Malfoy, he was stopped by Sherlock.

“Mr. Draco Malfoy.”

When Malfoy saw Sherlock's gaze turned towards him, he couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, he once again remembered the fear of being dominated by Sherlock that day.

Even though he wasn't the one who was beaten.

“Not just the Weasleys, Hagrid's hut is also a palace compared to your house.”

Ron, who was still smiling, suddenly froze.

Hey, buddy.

Why do you have to stab your own people while humiliating the enemy?

“Holmes, you this wa…”

Once bitten, twice shy.

Malfoy wasn't a fool like Goyle.

So when Sherlock's gray eyes looked over, he decisively closed his mouth halfway through his words, then lowered his head and quickly left.

A wise man knows when to retreat.

Endure!

Crabbe and Goyle also followed him closely when they saw this.

“Sherlock, you really shouldn’t have stopped me just now—I almost taught him a lesson… Achoo!”

Looking at Malfoy's back, Ron said through gritted teeth, his face as red as his hair.

Sherlock shook his head and looked aside, "That way, you wouldn't be able to teach him a lesson, and you'd get points deducted."

Following Sherlock's gaze, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Professor Snape didn't know when he had appeared on the stairs.

Although after Sherlock's explanation, everyone already believed that he was not a bad person.

But.

If Ron had really rushed up just now, the unlucky one would definitely be him instead of Malfoy.

At this time, Professor Snape slowly walked over, his eyes swept over Ron, and he said coldly:

“You should really feel lucky, Weasley.

If Holmes hadn't stopped you, Gryffindor would have had more points deducted because you laid your hands on someone."

“Sherlock, luckily you saw it.”

After Professor Snape turned and left, Harry said admiringly.

“No, Sherlock… you have to find a chance to let me beat that kid up.”

Ron spat on the ground, looking at Sherlock with hope.

He believed that with Sherlock's abilities, creating such an opportunity would not be difficult.

However, what he didn't expect was that Sherlock said bluntly:

“You are no match for him.”

Ron: ε=怒ε=怒ε=怒ε=( o｀ω′)ノ

“How am I not… cough cough cough cough…”

Ron became even more breathless as he spoke.

“Alright, cheer up, Christmas is coming soon.”

Hagrid slapped Ron on the shoulder, forcefully suppressing his complaints and coughs.

“You should come with me to the Great Hall to take a look, it's wonderful.”
