Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 154: I'm Showing Off Myself (2000+ additional chapters)

Mr. Weasley didn't understand why his wife found out that he had used magic to modify the car.

But this is clearly not the time to look for reasons.

He quickly winked at his wife, trying to get away with it:
“Oh dear, it’s actually not illegal for me to do this!

As long as I don't plan to fly it, even a flying car will do..."

"Arthur Weasley!"

Mrs. Weasley called out Mr. Weasley's full name.

As we all know, being called by your full name by your elders in the family often means something bad.

Although his wife was not Mr. Weasley's elder, her action still made Mr. Weasley's body tremble unconsciously.

A little scared.

"I find it a little funny when you talk about the law!"

Mrs. Weasley looked at her husband and said word by word:

"You think I don't know? You deliberately left a loophole when you wrote the law!
Just so I can tinker with Muggle stuff in your shed!

I tell you……"

Just as the two were about to continue arguing, a voice suddenly rang out:

"Next up is 'The Magic Hour' - performed by the renowned witch singer Celestina Warbeck."

The sound came from an old radio by the sink.

The sound also made Mrs. Weasley pause.

It also made her realize that arguing with her husband in front of guests was not a decent thing to do.

She suppressed her anger and said, "Anyway, you can drive there, but you can't fly there!"

"Of course, Molly dear."

"Huh, that's the best!"

Although Mr. Weasley and Mrs. Weasley were arguing, in the eyes of others, this behavior was no different from showing off their affection.

There is a sweet scent of love floating in the air.

After dinner, Hermione wanted to help Mrs. Weasley wash the dishes out of politeness, but she stopped her.

"Good boy."

When facing Hermione, Mrs. Weasley immediately turned kind, "But those guys will move on their own, you should hurry back to your room with Ginny!"

She said as she casually pointed her wand at the dishes in the sink.

Soon, the dishes started washing themselves, and the clinking sound was like background music.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Holmes and Mr. Granger looked at each other with envy.

When Sherlock was about to return to his room, Mrs. Weasley called him again:

"Sherlock, you're a good kid too.

Ron loves the wand you bought him.

Here, this is my gift to you."

Sherlock was slightly startled. "Ma'am, you already gave me a gift at King's Cross Station during the holidays."

“Then was then, now is now, grab it!

I didn't know your hobby before, so I gave you a Honeydukes candy gift box.

Now it seems that this one is more suitable for you - look, this is the magic bookmark I made."

Sherlock was not very good at dealing with such enthusiastic housewives, so he took it subconsciously and was a little surprised when he took a look at it.

The material seems to be hard and shiny walnut, but it was cut into the shape of a Gryffindor lion by Mrs. Weasley, and various detective-related patterns were engraved on it.

Includes footprints, a magnifying glass, and a deerstalker hat.

Wait, why is there a deerstalker hat?

Seeing Sherlock's puzzled look, Mrs. Weasley smiled and said, "I can't really say why, but I just feel like you need a hat like this."

Sherlock: “…”

In addition to the intricate carving, Mrs. Weasley also applied a protective varnish to the bookmark to make it more durable.

Finally, she cast a simple spell to give her bookmarks the ability to automatically mark where she was reading.

I have to say, although it is just a small bookmark, a lot of thought went into it.

From this we can also see that Mrs. Weasley is truly grateful to Sherlock and is not just pretending.

Mr. Holmes couldn't help but feel emotional as he watched this scene.

It was the right decision to send my son to magic school!
At night, no one fell asleep immediately.

Ginevra Weasley's room is on the second floor. The room is small but bright, and you can see the Weasley family's garden from the window.

Like Ron, she had a large poster of the Weird Sisters and a picture of Holyhead Harpies captain Gwenog Jones on her bedroom wall.

To Hermione's surprise, Ron's sister was completely different from her shy appearance during the day when she was alone with her, as if she had become a different person.

She chattered with Hermione about her experience at Hogwarts last year, her voice like the clear chirping of an oriole.

It just so happened that Hermione was also a very outgoing person, so under such circumstances, the two of them quickly became familiar with each other.

Hermione also changed her name from "Weasley" to "Ginevra", and then from "Ginevra" to "Ginny".

"Ginny, you're going to Hogwarts this year too, right?"

"Yes, but I haven't received the admission notice yet..."

"It's okay, we just have to wait a little longer," Hermione consoled her. "I didn't receive an admission notice at this time last year either."

"That's what my father, mother, and brothers all said."

Ginny nodded and asked, "Hermione, can you tell me more about what happened when you faced You-Know-Who last year?"

Hearing Ginny's request, Hermione couldn't help but look a little helpless: "Oh, Ginny, I've said it twice..."

"Say it again!"

Ginny hugged Hermione's arm and started to act coquettishly.

Faced with such a cute little girl, not only boys, but even girls like Hermione can't resist.

She could only tell the story of Sherlock leading them through the trapdoor, passing by Shaggy the three-headed dog set up by Hagrid, the Devil's Snare set up by Professor Sprout, the Flying Keys set up by Professor Flitwick, the giant chessboard set up by Professor McGonagall, the logic game set up by Professor Snape, the troll set up by Quirrell, the Mirror of Erised set up by Mr. Dumbledore, and the final confrontation between the three of them and Voldemort.

When Hermione said Voldemort's name, Ginny couldn't help but tremble like other children who grew up in the wizarding world.

But she still kept asking about some details of the matter.

At first, Hermione thought she was concerned about her brother Ron.

But later it was discovered that her attention was more focused on Sherlock.

This made Hermione alert all of a sudden, and she even spoke more cautiously.

But later on, Hermione discovered that Ginny's main focus was still on Harry.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"No wonder the mysterious man ran away. It turns out the power of love is so great that it can even defeat the mysterious man!"

Ginny's eyes flickered with a strange light, and she waved her fist excitedly:
"Love is infinite!"

Hermione: "..."

At the same time, bursts of small explosions were heard from the third floor.

This is the room of the Weasley twins, Fred and George.

Since they often conduct various experiments here, it is not surprising that such sounds appear.

Not only that, there was also a lingering smell that smelled like gunpowder.

"Can you guys be quiet?"

Percy's bedroom is also on the third floor.

He was very unhappy about Ron being sent to his room. He really needed his private space now.

But at least it's only one night, so I can just deal with it.

But I didn't expect the Weasley twins to make such a fuss.

He was furious and immediately opened the door and started yelling at his brothers.

The twin brothers ignored him. One was teasing the other one was praising them. Percy was no match for them at all.

Soon, he could only defend himself from the verbal attacks of the two men and had no power to fight back.

Ron stood by the door, watching with great interest.

Where is this?

The twin brothers still haven't forgotten the kick Percy gave them before the holiday!
Compared to other rooms, Sherlock and Harry were much more normal.

Both of them were looking forward to their destination the next day, and after a brief chat, they went to bed early.

After breakfast the next day, the group got ready to go.

A light blue Ford Anglia 105E luxury sedan was parked quietly in front of the door.

Mr. Holmes left the Rover he had driven in the Weasleys' garage.

Because Mr. Weasley said that only one car was needed.

This made everyone feel a little unbelievable.

There were seven of them, how could they all fit into the Weasley family's car?

Even if four of them are teenagers.

But when they got into the car, the truth naturally came to light.

Mr. Weasley arranged it this way:
He sat in the driver's seat as the driver, and Ron sat in the front passenger seat.

Mr. Holmes, Mr. Granger, and the three teenagers Sherlock, Harry, and Hermione sat together in the back row.

According to common sense, this is obviously overloaded.

Not only is it overloaded, it is even difficult to accommodate.

but.

It was not until they actually sat in the back seat of this magic car that they were surprised to find:

Although it looks almost the same as an ordinary car from the outside, the back seat is almost as long as a bench in London's Hyde Park!
The five of them sat there side by side, but it was still spacious and comfortable, and they didn't feel crowded at all.

Even one or two more people can sit there without any problem.

Mr. Holmes and Mr. Granger were both stunned.

Although they had seen this car yesterday, they never expected that there was so much hidden inside its seemingly ordinary appearance.

Just then, Mrs. Weasley knocked on the right window, and Mr. Weasley quickly lowered it.

Mrs. Weasley glanced back and saw that there was so much space in the back row. She couldn't help but sigh:

"Muggles are smarter than we thought - you wouldn't think it's that spacious from the outside, would you?"

Mr. Weasley coughed twice and turned to look at his two comrades.

At this moment, both Mr. Holmes and Mr. Granger's brains were working at high speed.

The tacit understanding between the men allowed them to quickly give the most perfect answer.

"Precisely, Mrs. Weasley!"

“That’s why we like to travel by car!”

Mr. Weasley gave them both a thumbs-up without leaving any trace.

Sure enough, whether it is wizards or Muggles, there is no need to explain some aspects at all.

Under Mrs. Weasley's affectionate gaze, Mr. Weasley drove the car away steadily.

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he drove out of St. Catchpole Village.

"Don't tell Molly about this."

Mr. Weasley said to the others, "She always thought it was something Muggles did with technology."

"If that's the case, then this story turns from fantasy to science fiction." Hermione rarely complained.

Mr. Granger was a romantic, and at this moment he couldn't help but sigh:
"It's hard to say. Perhaps in the near future, we will actually be able to realize the technology of space folding!"

"What, can Muggles really do something like this?"

"Well, I mean there are some similar ideas in some literary works."

"What a great imagination! Tell me more about it!"

Even while driving, Mr. Weasley never stopped talking:
"Mr. Holmes, Mr. Granger, you know me. I am very interested in all this..."

Mr. Weasley drove in this manner for some time.

It wasn't until he stopped the car and started to confirm the direction that Ron took the opportunity to suggest that he could take over from his father.

"Can you drive?"

"You can actually drive?"

Harry and Hermione looked surprised when they heard Ron's words.

Noticing the looks from his two friends, Ron looked very happy.

He glanced at Sherlock inconspicuously and found that his friend's eyes also showed a hint of surprise, which made him extremely proud:

"Ha! Ha! Ha! You may not believe it, but for me, this is as easy as child's play!"

When he said this, he even deliberately imitated Sherlock's tone.

Sherlock saw Ron's expression and smiled slightly: "Dear Ron, although you are full of confidence when you say this, but..."

"Cough cough!"

As soon as Sherlock said "but", Harry coughed twice.

Hermione and he immediately grabbed Sherlock from the left and right at the same time.

"Sherlock, let's just watch Ron's performance!"

At this moment, both of them had a clear mind.

No matter what, Sherlock can't be allowed to say it!
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. Mr. Weasley naturally knew what Ron was thinking.

As an open-minded father, he naturally didn't mind giving his son a push at this time.

"Okay then, I also want to take a break. You can drive and I'll show you the way."

The two of them quickly completed the switch between the driver and co-pilot positions.

At this moment, Ron was both excited and thrilled.

It's time to show the real technology!

He stood with his back straight, his right hand firmly grasping the steering wheel, his left hand loosely gripping the gear lever, his left foot pressing the clutch, and spoke in a confident tone:
"When starting a civilian front-wheel drive car, you need to control the strength of your left foot at the critical point of the clutch - this way, you can have better grip."

"Ooh!"

"Amazing!"

Harry and Hermione both looked at her with admiration.

Sounds very professional!
Even Mr. Holmes and Mr. Granger nodded.

Ron is right, that's indeed the case.

Under everyone's gaze, Ron took a deep breath.

Just as he said, he lifted his left foot slightly and slowly released the release device.

At the moment of reaching the critical point, he stepped hard on the accelerator with his right foot.

"It's embarrassing!"
