Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 144 Let’s go back home together
"Please don't!"

When Harry heard Ms. Hopkirk say she wanted to communicate with her parents, her eyes widened and she waved her hands in panic.

"Please, stop causing me trouble!"

"Okay... I'll take your opinion as the main point."

Ms. Hopkirk nodded, a gentle smile playing on her face.

Then she turned to look at Sherlock and said sincerely:

"Mr. Holmes, if you need any help in the future, just tell me."

Sherlock nodded.

Ms. Hopkirk's intentions are good, but the Ministry of Magic's capabilities are limited...

Let’s just say it’s better than nothing.

The next moment, Hopkirk waved the wand in his hand.

A faint blue light flashed from the tip of the wand, and the light quickly enveloped her.

In the blink of an eye, she disappeared in front of the three people, just like Snape just now.

The movements were quick and decisive, leaving only a faint scent of magic in the air.

"She's deliberately showing us how to Apparate," Hermione said, a little surprised. "She's so nice to us!"

"You're right. Mr. Peasegood and Ms. Hopkirk are the elite among that bunch of rubbish."

"Hey, Sherlock, you're being a little too harsh!"

“Just telling the truth.

Although Professor Snape did cast the Levitation Charm and the Freezing Charm just now, don't forget that both the house-elf and Professor Snape had performed Apparition - but they didn't mention this.

Humph, it seems that the Ministry of Magic can only detect the location where wizards cast magic, and cannot accurately locate individuals.

When they discovered someone using magic in the residence, they believed based on their experience that it was Harry who used magic.

It's obvious that they have done this more than once or twice.

How superficial!

"But, Ms. Hopkirk has listened carefully to our explanation and even verified it with the school!"

"That's why I say they are the best of the best.

She and Peasegood were both quick-witted, alert, and capable.

Unfortunately, they are still very conservative, and they are very conservative.”

Hermione: "..."

What you said makes so much sense that I am speechless.

Sure enough, Sherlock is still Sherlock.

Just with that mouth, I don’t know how many people he has offended.

Alas, it seems that he still needs someone like me to back him up...

Harry was already used to Sherlock's behavior.

He did not hide his feelings in front of his two good friends, he breathed a long sigh, and fell onto the bed.

First there was Dobby the elf, then there was Snape, the Potions professor, and just now there are the Ministry of Magic officials...

It can be said that Harry was exhausted today.

Fortunately, the final result was good.

I have not been abandoned by the magical world.

After he completely relaxed, he cast a questioning look at Sherlock:

"Sherlock, what do we do next?"

"The problem has been solved. See you in half a month."

Sherlock said simply.

He didn't explain why, but Harry knew it.

According to Dumbledore, Harry must stay at the home of his only relative in the world, Aunt Petunia, for at least a month every year.

Mainly to maintain that ancient spell.

As for the power of that spell, both of them had seen it when dealing with Quirrell who was possessed by Voldemort.

very effective.

So this month is a must.

However, when Harry heard Sherlock say that they would see each other in half a month, he immediately remembered what Sherlock had said to him last school year.

He immediately stopped feeling sleepy.

Harry sat up from the bed with a somersault, looking at Sherlock eagerly, even his voice began to tremble:
"Sherlock, you mean to say..."

Sherlock nodded: "I will come to see you again in half a month."

"No problem! I'll wait for you!" Harry nodded heavily.

"Wait! Wait a moment!"

Hermione looked at the two of them suspiciously. She smelled a scent of adventure from their conversation.

"Are you hiding something from me again?
Let me tell you, Professor Quirrell last time... I mean, don't try to hide from me the fact that you and Quirrell fought in the Forbidden Forest like you did last time!"

Seeing Hermione's angry look, Harry looked at Sherlock.

This action immediately made Hermione feel dissatisfied.

She put her hands on her hips. "Why do you keep looking at Sherlock?"

Harry felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

Well, after all, even he himself hadn't decided whether to ask the other two friends to go home with him besides Sherlock.

Just then, Sherlock spoke up to help him out.

"Godric's Hollow."

"What?" "In half a month, we will go to Godric's Hollow."

"Wait, you mean... you're going back to Harry's hometown with him?"

Hermione looked at Sherlock in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.

The Potter family's old house is in Godric's Hollow, which is no secret in the wizarding world, not to mention Hermione, who is a top student.

So when Sherlock mentioned the name, she reacted immediately.

"Yes, do you want to come with us?"

"Of course!"

Hermione nodded repeatedly.

Are you kidding? How could she be left out of such a thing?
She had missed adventures like this more than once: Last Christmas, the Battle of the Forbidden Forest, the Case of the Greek Interpreter...

Every time Sherlock sneaks away with Harry, huh, it was obviously me who was here first!

I must not miss again this time!
Harry never had an issue with Sherlock's decisions.

But he also suggested not to leave Ron behind.

Otherwise, that guy will definitely be sad.

The last rays of sunset lazily sprinkled on the Dursleys' yard, casting mottled light and shadows.

The Dursleys, along with Harry, escorted Sherlock, Hermione, and their father out of the house.

Harry's Uncle Vernon's face flushed red, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Not long ago, with the clever help of Mr. Holmes and Mr. Granger, Mr. Mason finally agreed to give him the drilling rig order he had been longing for.

This made him overjoyed, and even the way he looked at Harry changed unconsciously.

The original disgust and disdain faded a little, replaced by a rare recognition.

He thought to himself that his nephew was not completely useless.

At least he is much better than his father James in this matter.

Uncle Vernon curled his lips at the thought of James Potter.

In his few memories, his sister-in-law's husband always spoke in a rude manner and was not respectful enough to him and his wife, which really made him feel unhappy.

Forget it, I don’t think about him anymore!
but……

According to the original plan, after getting the drilling rig order, we should go to choose a villa in Maggioca tomorrow.

But when his eyes inadvertently swept over his wife Penny, the smile froze on his face.

He recalled his wife's expression when she saw the black-robed man who appeared with Hermione.

It was a kind of fear and panic that he had never seen before, as if he had witnessed the most terrible nightmare.

A man whom she had never heard of or met could actually make his wife look like this...

Uncle Vernon's brows were furrowed tightly into the shape of a "川" character, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and the anxiety and anger in his heart surged like a tide.

At this moment, his will became extremely firm.

In his opinion, this matter is far more important than anything else and must be investigated thoroughly.

All other plans must give way to this!

Vernon had mixed feelings, but Harry was very happy.

After dealing with the self-conceited elf Dobby, his life finally returned to its former peace.

Most importantly, he can finally communicate normally with his friends!
This exhausted Hedwig.

The poor snowy owl traveled around different areas every day, busy delivering letter after letter for Harry and his friends.

Sherlock and Hermione were better off, after all, they were there at the time and didn't need to explain themselves.

But for the others, Harry naturally had to write letters to explain one by one.

Snape finally did one good thing. When he took Dobby away, he kept all the letters he had intercepted.

Even if he didn't come back specifically for this.

For Harry now, rereading these expired letters is also a very interesting thing.

Because by reading these letters, he could feel his friends' strong concern for him.

After writing to them one by one and explaining his situation, Hedwig naturally brought him a new reply:
"Oh my god! You're trapped by a house elf! It's unbelievable!

Sherlock and Hermione are so mean. They should have asked me to come along for something like this.

But as long as you're okay.

Good brother, don’t forget to come to my house. My father and mother are always waiting for you.

And Ginny, you know, she's always wanted to see you."

"Oh, forgive me, Harry, I've never been very smart.

Anyway, I never thought that this would happen to you!

If I had known this, I should have gone straight there to find you - just like last year!
How are you right now?

Fortunately, there is Mr. Sherlock, he is really a trustworthy person, I am happy that you can make such a friend! "

"Harry, I am finally relieved to know that you are safe and sound.

I just didn't expect that you would encounter such an incident. It's really surprising.

Come to think of it, you always seem to enjoy getting into trouble (laughs).

Could you tell me more about what happened? I’m very interested.”

"Harry, this is horrible!

My grandma said house-elves don't usually do things like this, so you have to be careful.

If you have time, you should ask Sherlock Holmes for advice. He is really amazing! "

"Potter, I'm so glad you finally replied to my letter...

But what I want to say is that the summer vacation is long, don’t forget to practice Quidditch - we must win the championship this year!"
