Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 131 The most beautiful girl in the grade

"Lefo!"

Seeing the toad in Padma Patil's hand, Neville couldn't help crying with joy.

After taking it, he kept thanking the Patil twin sisters.

The two sisters didn't seem to care about Neville's gratitude, as if they had just done it for the sake of convenience.

Padma Patil handed the toad to Neville, then looked at Sherlock with her big eyes and asked with some curiosity:
"Mr. Holmes, do you know where we found it?"

Sherlock's eyes swept over her and he gave the answer directly: "Bathroom."

"Great!"

The twin sisters looked as if they had expected it, and then gave Sherlock a thumbs-up together.

Parvati Patil smiled at her twin sister from Ravenclaw and said, "Well, I told you Holmes could guess it, right?"

Padma Patil nodded repeatedly. "Prefect Clearwater and Qiu Zhang also said that if you encounter problems that cannot be solved, it is always right to come to Mr. Holmes!"

The Halloween case allowed Sherlock to show his talent.

The Christmas case brought Sherlock to prominence.

The Easter case brought Shylock fame.

In the final stage of his studies, he became famous for guarding the Philosopher's Stone together with the savior Harry and thwarting the evil professor's conspiracy.

This was when the inside story of the Greek translator case had not been made public - mainly because, apart from Harry and the others, no one else had much chance to come into contact with Hagrid, the key keeper.

Otherwise, Sherlock's fame would be even greater.

The Patil twins did not ask Sherlock how he came to this conclusion. They praised him earnestly and left.

However, before leaving, both sisters suggested that Sherlock could stay in touch with them during the summer vacation.

After the two left, Sherlock looked at Hermione:

"what happened to you?"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Hermione's eyes had not yet moved away from the backs of the Patil sisters, and she was suddenly called by Sherlock, which made her a little flustered.

"Ever since the twin sisters asked me questions just now, your eyes have been fixed on them."

Sherlock stared at Hermione. "Even after they left, you still didn't look away - this shows that you care about them very much. Why?"

"No, nothing..."

Hermione became even more panicked when Sherlock revealed her secrets.

But she quickly used her clever little brain to find a reason.

"I just thought the two sisters were very beautiful, so I took a few more glances."

"Is that right?"

"Of course! Everyone loves beauty. Don't think that only you guys like looking at pretty girls. We girls are the same!"

Hermione said in a decisive tone.

"Granger is right, Dean also said they are the most beautiful girls in the grade!"

Neville, who was standing by, was excitedly comforting the toad he had lost and found. When he heard Hermione praising the twin sisters for their beauty, he couldn't help but interrupt.

"Dean? Dean Thomas? The boy you share a dorm with?"

Hearing Neville's words, Hermione immediately thought of the image of the little black boy, and then her heart moved.

She seemed to have thought of something and turned to Sherlock:
"What about you, Sherlock? Do you also think the Patil sisters are the most beautiful girls in the grade?"

It was already midsummer, but for some reason, Neville suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but shrink his neck.

Sherlock's expression was calm. Facing Hermione's gaze, he said in a tone that seemed to be devoid of any emotion:

"My dear Hermione, I think you should know that beauty is a relatively subjective evaluation.

The Patil sisters may be attractive in appearance, but I am more interested in their actions, words and the essence they reveal in various events.

Simply describing them as 'the most beautiful' is too one-sided, as it doesn't take into account their intelligence, courage or other more important qualities."

Hermione was very satisfied with Sherlock's answer.

Sure enough, compared to appearance, wisdom and courage are more important.

She then made a request: "You must write to me and call me during the summer vacation!"

Before Sherlock could answer, Harry and Ron, who had separated from the Weasley twins, came over arm in arm.

When Ron heard what Hermione said to Sherlock, his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Don't worry, Hermione. Although I won't call you, I will definitely write to you!"

Harry nodded as well, and said, imitating Ron's tone:
"Me too!"

Strangely enough, although he came from a Muggle family, he was now more accustomed to using owls to contact others than making phone calls.

Even he was surprised at how quickly he adapted to the identity of a wizard.

Another reason was that he couldn't guarantee how the Dursleys would react if he used the phone to contact his friends in the wizarding world.

After all, magic is a monster in their eyes.

It’s better to have less trouble than more, so let’s just forget it.

Because of this, he didn't take the initiative to ask for Sherlock and Hermione's home phone number. "That's okay, Harry."

Hermione looked at Ron with vacant eyes and said word by word:

"Student Ronald, I just hope that when you write to me, you're not asking me to borrow my homework to copy."

Ron: Σ(￣ロ￣lll)
But I came to you just to copy your homework!

Ron's face flushed red as his thoughts were exposed. The veins on his forehead popped out. He argued:

"Borrowing homework doesn't count as copying... borrowing homework... I'm just borrowing your summer homework for reference, just for reference! How can that count as copying?"

There were a series of difficult-to-understand words, such as "Gryffindor's courage lies in the courage to face difficult homework problems", "Classmates should share what they have with each other, this is the moral code of magic", and "Borrowing is just a stopgap measure for the purpose of advancing knowledge", which made everyone laugh and the surroundings were filled with a happy atmosphere.

This incident was just a small episode when the young wizards said goodbye to each other before leaving school.

To Harry's surprise and delight, before leaving school, Qiu Zhang actually found him again.

But this time, the clear-as-water prefect of Ravenclaw did not come with her.

Instead, it was her roommates Lucy and Alicia.

Alicia, like Hermione, is a Muggle-born witch.

She has a lively personality. After Qiu Zhang introduced her to Harry, she kept asking Harry how he had foiled Quirrell's conspiracy.

Lucy was relatively quiet. She just listened from beginning to end and only gave a few simple answers when others asked her about it.

"I asked Marietta to come too, but she didn't want to."

When talking about this matter, Qiu Zhang couldn't help but look a little depressed.

Marietta Edgemore had been her best friend.

Even after the Easter incident, Qiu Zhang quickly forgave the other party.

Unfortunately, Qiu Zhang forgave her, but she refused to appreciate it.

This also made Qiu Zhang realize that his relationship with her could never go back to the way it was before.

"Qiu, I think you shouldn't call her that!"

Alicia said unhappily, "She clearly did something wrong, yet she's still acting like we're sorry for her. Who are you trying to impress?"

Lucy also nodded slightly to show her seconding.

Harry had already learned the whole story from Sherlock, and he also advised:
"Qiu, I don't think this is your fault..."

"When did Harry become so familiar with Qiu Zhang?"

Looking at Harry chatting happily with three Ravenclaw girls not far away, Hermione and Ron looked at each other with surprise.

Hermione found it strange because she and Sherlock had solved the Easter case together, so why did it seem like Qiu Zhang was more familiar with Harry, who was not involved in the incident?
Ron's attention was focused on the three Ravenclaw girls, especially Qiu Zhang, whom he glanced at several times.

"My brother has good taste..."

To be honest, Qiu Zhang is really beautiful.

Hermione didn't know that not only the little black Dean, but also Harry and Ron who were in the same dormitory with him agreed with him.

The Patil twins were indeed the most beautiful girls in the grade.

But even so, they are still inferior to Qiu Zhang.

Ron looked at Harry again and thought that if the situation continued to develop like this, in a few years, his good brothers might be dating each other!
This scene reminded Ron of the bet he had made with Sherlock.

I can’t find a girlfriend before I’m 20…

Hey, Lord Merlin, I'm just joking, you must not take it seriously!
Who would have thought that Sherlock actually stabbed Quirrell!

Thinking of this, he looked at Sherlock again and felt a little comforted.

It doesn’t matter. Even if I really can’t find a girlfriend before I turn 20, don’t I still have Sherlock as a backup?

With his personality that offends people whenever he opens his mouth, and his attitude towards girls and boys being the same, he can forget about finding a girlfriend even before he turns thirty!

Thinking of this, Ron prepared to play a joke on Sherlock.

Just then, a breeze blew by, and Ron smelled a fragrance in the air.

Then a tall and delicate witch suddenly appeared in front of them.

Although she was wearing disgusting Slytherin clothes, she did not give people a disgusting feeling.

Ron recognized the other person at a glance.

Gemma Farley is a fifth-year Slytherin witch and prefect.

Even someone as prim as Percy had praised her more than once, saying she was the least Slytherin-like Slytherin.

In Ron's opinion, this was the highest compliment.

At the previous year-end dinner, her performance was even more impressive among the Slytherins, as if she was a moon-crazy beast that had sneaked into a den of poisonous snakes.

But the question is, what is she doing here? Is she here to find Harry too?

My brother is so awesome!
However, the next moment, the beautiful prefect nodded slightly to Hermione and Ron, then turned his gaze to Sherlock:

"Mr. Holmes, may I speak to you alone?"

Ron: (;Д`)
