Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts

Hagrid was immediately shocked when Sherlock said that Quirrell was the one who wanted to harm Harry.

"No… I mean, why do you always like to suspect the professors at Hogwarts?

First it was Snape, and now it's Quirrell…

That's just impossible…"

Before Hagrid could finish speaking, Sherlock interrupted him directly, "It is Professor Quirrell. He was the one who released the troll on Halloween."

Hagrid: (o_O)

"By the way, that night he originally went to check the device protecting the Philosopher's Stone, but Professor Snape stopped him.

On the other hand, Professor Snape, who was suspected by Ron, almost had his leg bitten off by your big dog, Hagrid."

This time, it wasn't just Hagrid who widened his eyes.

The four people present opened their eyes wide at the same time:

"What stone did you say?"

"Snape stopped Quirrell?"

"Galloping Gorgons! How do you know about Fluffy?"

"Sherlock, how much are you hiding from us?"

Facing the four pairs of questioning eyes, Sherlock sighed deeply.

Seeing this situation, he understood that the topic couldn't continue without explaining things clearly.

"The Philosopher's Stone is a substance with special functions, and it is also the main ingredient of the Elixir of Life."

Sherlock said, turning to Harry, "My friend, if you still have an impression of the wizard cards in the Chocolate Frogs, you should remember the introduction of Dumbledore."

"Sorry, I don't remember."

Harry said shamefully.

Sherlock shrugged: "Dumbledore's well-known contributions include: defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, discovering twelve uses for dragon blood, and achieving fruitful results in alchemy with his partner Nicolas Flamel."

In the four people's dazed gazes, Sherlock directly recited this passage.

"Sherlock, how do you remember these…"

Harry said, expressing incomprehension.

That's right, he had indeed read the wizard cards at the beginning, and the content about Dumbledore had also left a deep impression on him.

But after more than two months, it was impossible for him to completely repeat the content above.

"I remember telling you before that the human brain is like a hard drive.

As long as you choose to throw away useless things, you can naturally remember the information you need. You can do the same."

Faced with Sherlock's matter-of-course statement, the four looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

That kind of thing, I'm afraid only you can do it, right?

"The fruitful results in alchemy with Nicolas Flamel refer to the Philosopher's Stone."

Sherlock said, turning to Hagrid again, and asked unexpectedly, "Fluffy is your dog, right?"

Hagrid, still in shock, subconsciously replied: "That's right, Fluffy is very loyal. I bought it from a guy I met at a hotel last year.

That guy seems to be called… Baskerville—later I lent it to Dumbledore to guard the Philosopher's Stone…"

The words stopped abruptly here.

"Did you deduce this too?"

Hagrid couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up abruptly, his eyes widened like copper bells, and his voice began to tremble faintly.

This first-year wizard… is too scary!

"Half is deduction, and the other half is what Dumbledore said."

Sherlock was very satisfied with Hagrid's honesty, put his hands together to support his chin, and looked at him with bright eyes:

"The Hound of the Baskervilles? Sounds interesting."

Hearing that Dumbledore had told Sherlock the information, Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, if all this news was deduced by Sherlock, then he would be too exaggerated.

But then again, a first-year student being able to do what he's doing now is already amazing.

And also… why does Dumbledore tell Sherlock everything?

After briefly explaining to Hagrid and his three friends, Sherlock made a summary statement.

"From Snape and Quirrell's actions today, three things can be confirmed:

First, Quirrell is indeed Voldemort's minion…"

Hearing this name, Hagrid and Ron gasped at the same time, their bodies trembling.

Harry and Hermione were naturally unmoved, and Sherlock was also expressionless:

"Second, Quirrell, or rather Voldemort, wants to obtain the Philosopher's Stone—by the way, Hagrid, he was the one who broke into Gringotts."

"Ah?"

Hagrid widened his eyes again, and before he could react, Sherlock explained:

"Harry told me that you met at the Leaky Cauldron."

Before Hagrid could figure out the connection, he heard Sherlock continue:

"Third, Professor Snape is not Professor Quirrell's opponent."

"Why do you say that?"

This time it was Hermione who asked the question.

"Professor Snape is a potions master, but Quirrell looks timid and shrinking."

"Don't be misled by appearances, Hermione. Quirrell's strength is much stronger than his appearance.

Even with Snape already starting to break the curse, Quirrell could still control the flying broomstick with a silent spell.

It wasn't until you interfered with his spellcasting that Professor Snape gained the upper hand.

—Of course, destruction is always easier than protection."

After Sherlock said this, everyone in the cabin fell silent.

It had been more than two months since the start of school, and even Harry and Hermione, who grew up in the Muggle world, had a clear understanding of Voldemort's power.

Now hearing that even a Hogwarts professor had become his minion, it was naturally difficult to accept for a while.

"Sherlock, you said that Professor Dumbledore already knows about this, right?"

Hermione suddenly asked.

"Yes."

Seeing that Sherlock gave an affirmative answer, the latter suddenly smiled:

"Then it doesn't matter—even during the wizarding war, Hogwarts was the only safe place.

Everyone says that Professor Dumbledore is the only person Voldemort fears."

Hearing Hermione's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, as long as there is Headmaster Dumbledore at Hogwarts, Quirrell wouldn't dare to act presumptuously.

As for what happened today, wasn't it something Sherlock had discussed with Dumbledore in advance?

Now that he has surfaced, there is nothing to worry about.

After figuring this out, Hagrid's cabin was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

With the end of the Quidditch match, Harry's fame greatly increased.

The savior of the magic world now had a new title—Quidditch genius.

Of course, neither the troll in the basement on Halloween nor the flying broomstick in the Quidditch match, the things related to Quirrell were still not spread out.

This led to Sherlock's reputation also increasing a lot, in addition to Harry's.

Because the version circulating among teachers and students was that Sherlock deduced that Hermione was in the girls' bathroom through Professor Quirrell's actions on Halloween.

Not only that, but he also acted at the first moment, rescuing Hermione from the troll.

This brave behavior naturally received the support of the Gryffindor little lions.

In addition, his reasoning ability also attracted the attention of the Ravenclaw little eagles.

After the wizard dueling event at the beginning, some students had already begun to consult Sherlock.

However, most of them were some students from his own academy, and the questions asked were relatively simple.

But after this incident, other students from other academies gradually appeared among the people who came to Sherlock.
