Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 15 Who is the Other?
In 1987, a bitmap file called GIF format was born.

This new format enables dynamic image display, which is equivalent to the character pictures in Chocolate Frog.

In 1989, the GIF format was updated to a new version, which truly realized the animation function.

In this respect alone, it is even more advanced than the portraits in the magical world.

Sherlock's explanation once again surprised Harry and Ron at his vast knowledge.

The two looked at each other and felt that this freshman in the same grade as them simply knew everything.

This is just a small episode.

In short, the Chocolate Frog not only gave Sherlock and Harry Dumbledore, but after the exchange, they even had cards of Morgana, Hangis, Alborak, Seth, Paracelsus and Merlin.

They were so lucky that one of them even got a rare SSR card.

Zou Yan and Kong Bo from China.

The former was active in the 4th century BC, during the Warring States Period, and was a famous alchemist.

The latter was a 15th-century dragonologist who discovered the use of Chinese fireball dragon egg powder.

Ron was very envious of this.

Because this thing is the hard currency among Hogwarts students, some rare cards can even be used to exchange for a week's homework.

His own Kongbo card was given to him by his second brother Charlie, who was doing fire dragon research in Romania.

As for Zou Yan, he was wanted in exchange by his brother.

Sherlock looked thoughtful when he heard this.

It seems that in this respect, magic schools are similar to ordinary schools.

Ron then warned Sherlock and Harry about another snack, Bebe's Every Flavour Beans.

"Multi-flavor" means multi-flavor in the true sense, with all kinds of flavors available.

Not only are there traditional jelly bean flavors like chocolate, mint, and marmalade, but there are also flavors that don't belong to food, like leather, paint, and dirt.

What's worse, you may also taste pungent smells such as snot, earwax, feces, urine and fart.

Sherlock thought about it for a moment and suddenly felt that with the development of technology, the non-magical world could actually do this.

But it is not necessary.

But then again, through conversation with Ron, he found that the interweaving of magic and science was indeed very interesting.

Just when Harry mustered up the courage to lick a strange grey bean that even Ron was afraid to touch, the door of the box was pushed open again.

This time, three little boys appeared in front of Sherlock.

The one in the middle has light blond hair, regular features, a pointed chin, and a slightly pale complexion.

Beside him were two fat men, one tall and one short, who were not good-looking. Although they were not good-looking, they were very strong.

The two men surrounded the little boy, just like his bodyguards.

Compared with them, the little boy actually looked quite good-looking, and even his pale face no longer made him look too sick.

He also had grey eyes like Sherlock.

Sherlock guessed the other person's identity with just one glance.

Malfoy family.

Like the Weasley family, hair is also a characteristic of the Malfoy family.

The only difference is that the former is red and the latter is light gold.

At the same time, the Malfoy family, like the Weasley family, belongs to the Sacred Twenty-Eight Pure-Blood Families.

However, Sherlock wasn't the only one who recognized Malfoy at this point.

When Sherlock noticed the gazes of Harry and Ron, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He looked at Harry:

"You know him?"

It's not surprising that Ron knows Malfoy, after all, they are from the same series.

But Harry and him shouldn't have had any connection. Harry was also a little confused at this moment.

He didn't understand how Sherlock figured that out, but he nodded anyway.

I did recognize this pale little boy with light blond hair.

The two had met once when they were ordering robes at Madam Malkin's in Diagon Alley.

Harry didn't have a very good impression of him at the time because he was arrogant and looked down on Hagrid.

You know, Hagrid is his first real friend in all these years.

The little boy had already spoken, "Everyone on the train is talking about Harry Potter being in this compartment."

Obviously, he also recognized Harry, whom he had met once before, and now he was looking at Harry with much greater interest than when he was in Diagon Alley:

"So that's you, isn't it?"

Harry nodded subconsciously.

Since the other party was an acquaintance of Harry, Sherlock had no intention of intervening.

Who would have thought that after the little boy looked around the carriage, his eyes stopped on him and he said contemptuously:

"I didn't expect the famous Harry Potter to sit with a stinky Mudblood. What a shame!"

Ron's expression changed immediately.

Malfoy continued to introduce himself:
"My name is Draco Malfoy, this is Crabbe, this is Goyle, and I'm here to..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sneer.

It was from Ron.

Malfoy immediately turned his head and stared at Ron, his eyes showing no sign of distaste.

"You think what I said is funny, don't you?
I know who you are without asking: red hair, old robes, freckles all over your face, and more children than you can support.

My father told me that all the Weasleys are like this, and they are a disgrace to the pure-bloods."

Ron immediately became angry.

Although Sherlock had just said something similar, the same words gave people a completely different feeling when they came out of Malfoy's mouth.

Ron thought about it and felt that it might be because Sherlock used a neutral tone when he said he wore old robes and used an old wand, and was simply describing objective facts.

But Malfoy was just being sarcastic.

But before Ron could explode in anger, Malfoy turned to Harry again, forced a smile, and stretched out a hand to him:

"You'll soon discover that some wizarding families are much better than others, Potter.

You wouldn't want to be friends with someone different... or a lowly Mudblood, would you?
I can help you with that.”

It can be seen that Malfoy has tried very hard to please Harry.

Unfortunately, the education he received since childhood made him still full of condescending arrogance and conceit when showing kindness to others.

If Hermione's arrogance is on her lips, then his arrogance is on his face.

More importantly, he belittled two good friends Harry had just met.

So his attempts to make good will were doomed to be in vain.

Harry, who already had a bad impression of him, naturally did not indulge him in this situation and said coldly:
"No need. I think I can tell who is different."

Malfoy's smile froze.

Being slapped in the face, a faint blush suddenly appeared on his pale face.

He retracted his hand that was hanging in the air and said slowly:
"Potter, if I were you, I would be very careful, otherwise I would end up following the same path as your parents.

They don't know what's good for them, because they're hanging around with shady people like the Weasleys or Hagrid and that's what's affecting them."

Harry stood up immediately after Malfoy finished speaking.

Ron stood up without saying a word. At this moment, his face was as red as his hair.
