Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 128 He Soon Stopped Laughing

Harry did have a great time chatting with Qiu Zhang.

Because of his growing up environment, he actually didn't have many friends.

Because no one in school wanted to play with him. After all, no one wanted to offend Dudley and his gang.

Not to mention classmates of the opposite sex, I haven't had much contact with them since I came to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

So Cho Chang is actually Harry's first friend of the opposite sex besides Hermione.

In this situation, he unconsciously compared the two of them.

It turned out that Qiu Zhang was not only beautiful, but also had a nice voice.

More importantly, she shares the same hobby with me.

From their conversation just now, Harry learned that she loved Quidditch very much and was a fan of the Tutshill Tornadoes.

In addition, she will join the Ravenclaw house team and become a formal Quidditch player next year.

Even his position is the same as mine, both seekers.

Although she did not appear in today's match between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, she still participated in the entire game as a substitute.

That's why she said sorry just now.

Harry naturally doesn't care about this kind of thing. Friendship comes first, competition comes second!

Even if Gryffindor loses to Ravenclaw, it will not affect their friendship.

In short, the more Harry and Cho Chang talked, the more they got along and the happier they became. By the time Madam Pomfrey sent Cho Chang away, both of them felt a little reluctant to leave.

Harry also learned a little-known fact from Qiu Zhang: in the distant Eastern country, people usually put the surname first and the given name last.

So the correct way to call her name should be "Zhang Qiu".

But it's not a big problem.

Because the way they addressed each other had changed from "Potter" and "Zhang" to "Harry" and "Qiu".

When Qiu Zhang left, Harry couldn't help feeling a little lost.

At this moment, Madam Pomfrey told him the good news: "Professor Dumbledore said you are allowed to attend the banquet."

"Great!"

Harry nearly jumped out of bed with joy.

It's so boring to stay in the hospital all the time!
However, although she agreed to let Harry attend the dinner, Mrs. Pomfrey was obviously somewhat dissatisfied with Dumbledore's proposal.

"I don't think he realized the potential dangers of the banquet."

Harry didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Voldemort had escaped and Quirrell had been killed. He really didn't think there would be any potential danger at the banquet.

Of course, in this case, he wisely kept silent.

As long as he could be discharged, Madam Pomfrey would have no problem asking him to clean the entire hospital.

But before leaving, Madam Pomfrey stopped him and insisted on examining him again.

It was for this reason that when he arrived at the auditorium, it was already full of people.

Because it was the last day of the school year, the atmosphere in the auditorium was particularly cheerful.

Affected by the environment, Harry's steps became much lighter.

It was just because he was the savior of the wizarding world, and he was late, so as soon as he walked into the auditorium, he naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.

The entire auditorium suddenly became quiet for a moment, and then returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

But everyone's eyes were focused on Harry at this moment.

Under the gaze of all the teachers and students, Harry lowered his head and walked quickly to the Gryffindor table.

Only when he sat next to Sherlock did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Because those who were standing on tiptoe to look at him were blocked by Sherlock.

I always feel that I only receive less attention when I am with Sherlock.

"Your expression tells me that you had a very pleasant chat with the Ravenclaw girl just now."

Sherlock and Professor Flitwick stayed at the Three Broomsticks for a little longer, so he had just arrived and also enjoyed the attention of all the students in the school.

But he was not like Harry, the attention from others had no effect on him.

Seeing Harry now, he looked him up and down and teased him, "I thought you had gotten used to this kind of look over the past year."

"Oh, Sherlock, please forgive me!"

Harry whispered, "You were the one who defeated Voldemort. I don't know why they are looking at me like that..."

Originally, Harry had no idea about pronouncing the name Voldemort. After receiving guidance from Sherlock and then Dumbledore, he had no psychological burden at all about it.

"No, my dear friend."

Sherlock looked at Harry and said seriously, "You know, this is the only point I agree with Dumbledore on.

Without you this time, Quirrell, possessed by Voldemort, would not be easily defeated."

What he said was true. The protective spell left by Harry's mother was a powerful weapon of destruction for Voldemort.

"But……"

Harry was about to say something else, but Hermione, who was sitting on Sherlock's other side, couldn't help but say:
"Please, even if you two want to discuss this, please be mindful of the occasion, okay?"

Sherlock remained indifferent. Harry followed Hermione's gaze and immediately saw Ron's expression of despair. He admired and felt saddened by Sherlock and Harry's constant mention of Voldemort.

What he admired was their courage, but what was sad was that these two guys didn't care about his feelings at all.

But since Hermione said so, the kind-hearted Harry naturally would not bring up the topic again, and instead began to ask Sherlock how he knew who he was with before.

Ron couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when Sherlock and Harry finally stopped discussing Voldemort.

He secretly gave Hermione a thumbs-up, then said angrily:

"Look at Malfoy, I really want to punch him in the nose..."

Ron said this because he was unhappy with the Slytherin students.

Dumbledore obviously knew that it is better to comb than to block, so after hiding the content related to Voldemort, he deliberately released a processed message.

The Lion King and the Savior led the others through several levels set by the Hogwarts professors, and in the last level they defeated a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts who was usually well disguised, successfully preventing the other party's conspiracy to steal the Philosopher's Stone.

This is the "truth" circulating among teachers and students.

This kind of thing just sounds very much in line with the Gryffindor temperament.

Sherlock and Harry also received gifts from countless admirers.

but.

Slytherin also won the House Cup for the seventh consecutive year.

Of course, in the thousands of years of history of Hogwarts, it is not uncommon for a house to win the House Cup for several consecutive years, although it is not common.

However, today happened to be the year-end banquet, and the most important theme was the College Cup.

Not to mention that at this moment, the entire hall was decorated with green and silver, representing Slytherin, and a huge banner with a Slytherin snake painted on it was hung on the wall behind the guest of honor.

In such an environment, it is hard not to think of this incident.

"I suggest you don't do that."

Hearing Ron's words, Sherlock glanced in that direction, then looked away. "He'll soon stop laughing."

"What did you say?"

Ron couldn't help but cry out when he heard Sherlock say that.

Because he was too excited, his voice was inevitably a little louder.

The students nearby didn't say anything.

After all, Ron was one of the "others" who followed the Lion King and the Savior to defeat the evil professor, so he should be given some face.

But his behavior caused Percy's dissatisfaction.

"Ronald, you have to pay attention to the occasion."

Percy acted like an older brother and prefect, and said seriously:

“It’s the end-of-year party now!
The seventh-year students are about to graduate, and Mr. Dumbledore will be arriving soon...

I don't want Professor Snape to take away a few more points from Gryffindor, which is already at the bottom, because of you."

"But...but Percy, Sherlock said Malfoy won't be able to laugh anymore soon."

"So what...wait, what did you say?"

When Percy heard this, he immediately turned his attention to Sherlock.

As a class leader, his information channels are wider than those of ordinary students.

It can be said that apart from Harry, Hermione, Ron and a few others, he is the student who knows Sherlock's strength best.

These class leaders always share what they have with each other, regardless of whether their relationship is good or bad.

Last Christmas, he would have sat with the prefects of the other three houses if the Weasley twins hadn't dragged him away with the excuse that "you have to be with your family today."

Because of this, he was also very clear about the commissions that Sherlock usually accepted from other colleges.

Moreover, not long ago, he had received a cryptic hint from Professor McGonagall.

Sherlock's abilities have been officially recognized by the school.

In this case, Sherlock's words are very valuable for reference.

Thinking of this, Percy's voice trembled a little: "Holmes, do you mean..."

You can't blame him for losing his composure.

Slytherin has been the House Cup champion ever since Percy entered the school.

He was promoted from the first grade to the fifth grade, and had grown from a freshman to the head of Gryffindor, but Slytherin was still the champion.

Today's situation made him recall the fear of being dominated by the Snake Courtyard.

But from what Sherlock said, it seems that there is still hope?

"It's actually very simple. A little thought will make it clear," Sherlock said calmly. "Recent events have not yet been taken into account."

"Yup!"

Percy reacted immediately.

He was able to continuously pass the levels set by the professors, face a professor alone at the last moment, and successfully stop the other party's conspiracy.

Although the one who did all this was the Lion King and the Savior...

But after all, they are first-year students!
Just thinking about this kind of thing is amazing, and now it has actually been accomplished.

If this doesn't add any points, it's simply outrageous!
