Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 23 You are very talented, come and learn boxing from me
When Dumbledore mentioned singing the school song together, the expressions of the other teachers except himself looked a little unnatural.

Sherlock instinctively felt that there was something strange about this.

Soon, he understood why.

Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a golden ribbon coiled above the dining table, forming lines of text.

Here are the lyrics.

then……

"Everyone chooses their favorite tune, ready, sing!"

All freshmen: ???

Is this also possible?

As it turns out, it is possible.

The teachers and students of the whole school sang the school song in different tunes in a scattered manner, which had absolutely no artistic beauty.

The most speechless thing was that the Weasley twin brothers were singing the slow melody of "Funeral March".

Instead of saying anything, Dumbledore patiently used his wand to conduct the last few bars for the two of them, and when they finished singing, his applause was the loudest.

Sherlock: (￣.￣)
It seems like I really need to find a way to get a violin.

After the sorting, speeches, meals and singing, the Hogwarts opening ceremony officially ended and the students began to return to their dormitories.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

At this time, the prefects of each college are responsible for maintaining order and taking the students of their respective colleges, especially the freshmen, back to the dormitories.

Led by Percy, the little lions made their way through the noisy crowd, out of the auditorium and up the marble stairs.

Compared to the other exhausted freshmen, Sherlock was much more energetic.

His grey eyes sparkled, and he looked around intently.

There are so many new things here that even Sherlock is overwhelmed.

The portraits hanging in the corridor were all living creatures, pointing at the freshmen and even talking to each other.

The doors were hidden behind sliding panels and hanging curtains, and if Percy hadn't led them, they wouldn't have been visible from the outside.

An invisible ghost named Peeves tries to tease them with his cane, but Percy scares him off by calling him the Bloody Baron.

Finally, they came to the end of the corridor, where a portrait of a wealthy woman hung and asked:
"Password?"

Percy replied "Dragon slag" and the Fat Lady moved aside, revealing a circular hole in the wall.

Led by Percy, everyone crawled through the hole in the wall one by one.

This is the Gryffindor common room.

Percy guided the boys and girls to their respective dormitories, and told the freshmen that they would be given a class schedule at breakfast tomorrow, so they should not forget to go to the auditorium on time for lunch.

Judging from his performance today alone, Percy can be said to be a very competent prefect.

Compared to the energetic Sherlock, Harry and Ron were extremely sleepy and only with the help of Sherlock could they find their dormitory.

——Fortunately, the three of them were grouped together.

The other two roommates were Neville Longbottom, the round-faced boy who had lost and found his toad on the train, and a dark-skinned boy named Dean Thomas.

Seeing that the box had already been delivered to the room, Sherlock simply went to the common room for a walk.

Gryffindor's aesthetic is still good.

The round room looks very comfortable overall. The walls are mainly in warm red tones, and the soft armchairs make people not want to get up after sitting down.

Sherlock originally planned to start exploring directly, but unfortunately the temperature here was a bit low.

Although his physical condition was not bad, he had just recovered from a serious illness and found it difficult to resist the erosion of the cold.

So in this short time, he only found out a little information: Gryffindor Tower was located on the east side of the castle, and the common room was on the eighth floor of the tower. When Sherlock returned to the dormitory, he found that his four roommates had all fallen asleep.

There were five four-poster beds, four of which had crimson velvet draperies drawn.

The one left for him was right between Harry and Ron.

"It seems to be good."

Sherlock commented, then changed into his pajamas and lay down.

After all, I had been busy all day. I didn't feel anything when I went exploring just now, but as soon as I lay down, tiredness suddenly came over me like a tide.

Sherlock quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Sherlock opened his eyes and found that his four roommates were still sleeping soundly.

He hadn't intended to wake them up, but the noise of him getting up jolted Harry awake.

Growing up in the Dursley household had conditioned Harry to wake up at the slightest noise.

Seeing the big brother he was about to recognize getting ready, Harry quickly turned over and asked, "Sherlock, where are you going?"

When Harry heard Sherlock say that he was going for morning exercise, he hesitated for a moment and decided to follow him.

"A wise decision," Sherlock said with satisfaction, "A healthy body and a clear mind are the prerequisites for resolving all events."

Harry nodded repeatedly. He felt this more and more clearly after getting to know Sherlock.

He had originally tried to summon Ron to join him.

However, Ron had neither Sherlock's self-discipline nor Harry's determination to follow Sherlock, so after decisively rejecting them, he continued to sleep soundly.

Finally, Sherlock took Harry out of the dormitory and began his first exploration of Hogwarts.

While taking Harry for morning exercises, Sherlock unexpectedly discovered that the savior of the wizarding world was quite capable.

Because of Harry's growing environment - living in a dark and confined storage room for many years, and never having enough to eat or drink, he looks thinner than his peers.

His most striking physical features were his gaunt face, protruding knees, messy black hair, and green eyes.

The pair of round-frame glasses that were originally held together with a lot of transparent tape have been repaired by Sherlock using magic.

He also wore robes that fitted him now - otherwise, in Dudley's old clothes he would have looked even smaller than he really was.

but.

Although Harry is thin, he is agile and quick to react, making him a very flexible athlete.

If you train them well, they will have great potential in the future.

In view of this, Sherlock decisively issued an invitation:
"You are very talented, come and learn boxing from me!"

Harry: '(°ー°〃)
In the end, Harry still didn't agree to Sherlock.

Although he also thought boxing was cool, but as a wizard, wasn't it a bit too weird for him to engage in close combat with others?

Sherlock couldn't help feeling a little regretful about this.

According to his expectations, he still needed one or two assistants at Hogwarts.

It just so happens that I'm getting along quite well with Harry now, and I was originally thinking of teaching him a lesson.

Unexpectedly, he refused.

After morning exercise, Sherlock and Harry came to the auditorium.

Ron the foodie, Neville the round-faced boy, and Thomas the black boy are already in place.

　Today is Sherlock Holmes’ birthday╰(￣▽￣)╭
