A True Story of a Wizard's Life

"Does my daughter think of her father only when she encounters difficulties?" Sherlock inevitably complained after reading Gabriel's letter.He had a problem with Gabriel's short letter in the previous few weeks, mainly because he was dissatisfied that Gabriel didn't find the designated books for him in time, although he also knew that those books could not be found immediately.

Despite this, Sherlock still opened the Hogwarts materials attached to the letter. I have to say that this is really amateurish, and it made Sherlock a little angry. He taught the basic application of Gabriel's deductive method, and After all, I have taught some detective skills, so why can't the data collection ability be improved?

On this point, Sherlock decided to re-educate Gabriel in the letter. Since it is impossible for him to go to Hogwarts, he has to use the information to determine where the dragon is hidden. At this time, the more detailed and accurate the information, the better.Also, why can't I even get a map if I want to find something?If he didn't have a map of London in his head, how dare he report the best route for travel in minutes.

Mycroft came to the door when Sherlock was about to reply. "Fortunately, I came in time, and the owl didn't fly away. Please take this box to Gal."

Because Gabriel didn't buy an owl to bring into Hogwarts before school started, the school's owls were used for weekly correspondence. Gabriel specially hooked up four owls with jerky, which seemed to be four brothers. , all have a pinch of gray hair on their heads.

Under Gabriel's bribery, the four owls will wait appropriately patiently for Sherlock's reply, such as having dinner at Sherlock's house before flying back to school.

Sherlock's reply to Gabriel was mainly divided into two batches. One batch was to consider the content of the letter for a few days before sending it next time, and the other was to write the letter in time and send it back on the spot.

Such a frequency of sending letters made Sherlock feel inconvenient. He had already decided to ask Gabriel to bring an owl to school to register after she came home this Christmas. It would be relatively convenient to have his own owl communication.

"Mycroft, you're getting fat again. You don't mean to ask Gal to bring you dessert, do you? I sincerely suggest that you should be more restrained." Sherlock was dissatisfied again that Mycroft would only come to the door when something happened, could it be To say that some of Gabriel's bad habits are learned from McCoff?What a bad example.

Mycroft is not that boring. He has something very serious to ask Gabriel, "There is a saying in the East that the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees wisdom. Sherlock will only apply it to others if you think so in your heart. I There is important work to be consulted with Gal."

Sherlock really wanted to laugh when he heard what Mycroft said. In the past, you would only consult your younger brother, but now you have finally changed someone, your niece.Is this the rhythm of abandoning my brother? "I hope it's not that you finally realize that there are many strange things in London that cannot be judged by normal eyes."

After McCoff learned about the wizarding world, although he did not immediately report to the higher authorities, he started to investigate unnatural events in the UK in a planned way. After sorting out the police files, he discovered that Scotland Yard was really a bit of a mess. Confused, some cases just hang in the air like that, or they are closed casually.

What caught his attention the most was a family extermination incident in Warwickshire. This case happened three years ago. It is said that a wild animal broke into the farmer's house and killed a family of five, but the autopsy showed that the bite marks of the wild animal could not be judged. This kind of wolf is much larger than the known wolf population, and it may be some kind of mutation.

Mycroft used to agree, but now he is more inclined to commit crimes by werewolves. If magical creatures hurt ordinary people, that is, Muggles in the mouth of wizards, what should we do?Nowadays, the population of ordinary people is growing at a relatively fast rate, and many previously undeveloped areas have begun to be opened up. Will there be conflicts with the magical world there?These problems seem to indicate one thing, the union between the wizarding world and the Muggle government is inevitable.

Before that, Mycroft wanted to know more, so he had to ask Gabriel for clarification.In this regard, Mycroft half-acknowledged Sherlock's guess, "Sherlock, you should also learn more, and your career as a consulting detective may be able to develop into the magic world in the future."

How do you know that I haven't developed into the magic world now, I'm going to find Shenlong!Isn't it worth playing a violin, but I'm a good father, and I won't tell you this secret without my daughter's permission.

Sherlock has a lot of mental activities, but he has a cold face to McCoff, but he took the initiative to add an extra cube of sugar to McCoff's coffee, which still betrayed his inner excitement.

Mycroft looked at Sherlock for three seconds, and he immediately recalled whether there were any difficult cases in the police station recently, and the answer was no.It seems that since the death of Moriarty and the death of Holmes, London has been much more peaceful.So why is Sherlock, who only has the case in his mind, excited?The obvious answer was that there must be something interesting in the letter from Gabriel, perhaps a case for him to solve.

Mycroft won't expose Sherlock. He actually doesn't like trouble. Pretending not to see is a very important skill. It's just that many things can't be done without being afraid of trouble. This is the most troublesome point.

Gabriel received a letter from Sherlock, and of course, the square box from Mycroft.She didn't rush to open Sherlock's letter, it must be full of words and phrases to educate her, so she opened Mycroft's box first. It's not sweet, it really is a stack of photos, and the content on it really makes people lose their appetite.

Fortunately, the box was not opened in the dormitory, otherwise Jane and Alice would scream. The anatomical diagram of the severed limb and leg, as well as the on-site records of the dismemberment case, would make the little wizard scream that they met dark wizard.

Snape, who was also in the Response Room, accidentally glanced at the photos, his eyes darkened. Although he knew that Gabriel's adoptive father and some uncle's work were related to the police solving the case, it's really true to send these photos to an 11-year-old child. So kind.

Snape didn't say much. He saw Gabriel eating the mango pudding naturally while looking at the photo. He immediately remembered that this was Gryffindor who wanted to rob the dragon. He really had a strong nerve.

Gabriel didn't shy away from Snape taking out these photos. When she came to the Response Room, she never thought that the things in her hand could not be shown to Snape.These photos were just not suitable for roommates to see, it would destroy her innocent and kind image. As for Snape, this image disappeared from the moment they met.

So if there is something shady to do, go to the Room of Requirement together, and spend the rest of the time in the Ravenclaw common room or in the library.There are also a few old classrooms that the Sorting Hat has no choice but to provide, where some magic exercises can be done.

"It was all done by werewolves." Gabriel handed the photo to Snape, motioning him to take a closer look. "These wounds look like some werewolf bites, some are werewolf scratches. It happened three years ago." I don’t know if there is any record of the case in the magic world, it’s more troublesome to check, if the newspaper doesn’t report it, the records of the Ministry of Magic can’t be browsed casually.”

Gabriel prefers that the Ministry of Magic does not pay more attention to this kind of thing. These days, wizards are stricter in casting spells on Muggles, but it is really not that easy to manage the violence of magical creatures on Muggles. The relationship between werewolves and wizards The relationship is not friendly enough.

Snape was also sure that the werewolves were the ones who committed the crime. He only hoped that Gabriel didn't have the idea of ​​tracking down these werewolves and trying to catch them. "I don't think you would sneak out of Hogwarts because of an incident three years ago. If so, I don't mind helping to inform Palvin to collect the body for you."

Of course Gabriel shook her head. She understood the meaning of Mycroft, which meant looking for the conflicts between the wizarding world and the Muggle world in those years, and then making plans based on the number.But now, both the Muggle government and the Ministry of Magic are hardliners, and both hawks cannot afford conflicts. They must find a good entry point.

It's just that Snape, your way of consoling you needs to be improved, and you're not being honest at all when you collect corpses every now and then. "I don't have that much free time. I want to go through Hogwarts before talking about anything else, and that's not something I can do before Christmas."

Gabriel immediately opened Sherlock's letter, which really mentioned the need to get a complete map. Sherlock asked why he didn't check the school history. Generally speaking, schools that have been established for many years will have a school history. found in school.However, this point is somewhat untenable when it comes to Hogwarts. It has a history of the school, but it is all about things that happened thousands of years ago. There is no special record of the school's development history in these years, and the trophies are lined up. There are trophies left in the room, but there is no positive record about the reconstruction of the school, the teachers and students who used to teach, and what happened to be commended or warned.

"I have to suspect that the original intention of Hogwarts is to make people confused. Otherwise, why don't you even make a high-risk mark that there is a basilisk underground."

Snape believes that the charm of magic lies in the unknown. Hogwarts is of course different from Muggle schools. Of course, it is too ironic to change the entrance to the Slytherin chamber into a women's toilet.

"If no one speaks Parseltongue, the Chamber of Secrets will not be opened. Putting up warning signs like you said will cause panic instead." Snape knew the mentality of the students very well, and now some people in the school believed that Basilisk existed. There were very few people, maybe even Principal Black didn't believe it, otherwise he would definitely want to release the basilisk.

Others don't believe that there are basilisks, but at least the three people who have played the Sorting Hat believe it.

So just as Christmas was coming, Dumbledore took the initiative to stop Gabriel, "I want to give you a Christmas present in advance, are you ready?"

Gabriel looked at Dumbledore inexplicably, when did this man become so friendly?

Then she heard Dumbledore's hissing sound, don't think that she would be less knowledgeable if she never learned the language of snakes, it was obviously no different from speaking with snakes.

"You actually learned the snake language!" Gabriel immediately looked around, seeing that there was no one else in the corridor, she breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately felt that the breath was delivered too quickly, "Where did you learn it? !"
