Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 24 Hermione stimulated by Sherlock

Seeing Sherlock and Harry, the foodie Ron and the black guy Thomas immediately stood up and waved at them vigorously.

"Sherlock, Harry, here, here!"

When the two walked over, Ron said proudly, "I saved a seat for you!"

"Thank you," Harry thanked Ron, and reminded him, "If you could keep your voice down."

Because of Ron's flamboyance and the name Harry, Sherlock and Harry became the most handsome guys in the audience at this moment.

"It's over there, look."

"Where where?"

"Over there! Next to the tall boy with the hooked nose."

"You mean the one with glasses?"

"Yes, did you see his face?"

"Did you see that scar?"

The whispers continued as Sherlock and Harry crossed the Great Hall and stood before Ron.

This made Harry extremely uncomfortable.

Ron obviously noticed the situation and touched his nose embarrassedly, "I'm sorry."

It's all my fault for speaking too loudly.

Under normal circumstances, breakfast is definitely not as sumptuous as the one at the opening ceremony, but it is definitely not bad. The most important thing is that it is large in quantity and enough to fill you up.

This is definitely a good thing for a foodie like Ron and Harry who has never eaten a big meal at home.

As for Sherlock, he was divided between eating and concentrating on the Gryffindor freshmen's schedule.

Monday morning: History of Magic, afternoon: Herbology

Tuesday morning: Herbology, afternoon: Charms and Transfiguration
Wednesday morning: Defense Against the Dark Arts, afternoon: Herbology, evening: Astronomy
Thursday morning: Transfiguration, afternoon: Charms

Two consecutive Potions classes on Friday morning, with a break in the afternoon.
Another note: When the flying course starts, it will be added after the Charms class on Thursday afternoon.

It can be seen that the first-year curriculum is generally quite intense - this is easy to understand, after all, the worldview of young wizards who have just entered the magical world needs to be reshaped.

After dinner, several people hurried to the classroom.

For Sherlock, the first week at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was both fulfilling and interesting.

Each course has different characteristics.

History of Magic is the only subject taught by a ghost.

As the saying goes, a ghost lecture is full of nonsense.

It was originally a purely theoretical course that tended towards rote memorization.

In addition, Professor Binns read the text in the ghost's unique monotonous voice, which made the course even more boring.

Almost all the students just scribbled down names and dates in their drowsy state.

There are only two exceptions.

One is Hermione, who has already shown the characteristics of a top student in the first class of the school year.

Listen attentively, take notes carefully, and answer questions actively... Well, I didn't do that because Professor Binns didn't ask any questions.

The other is Sherlock.

He is very interested in the magical world.

He has already read all the textbooks, and listening to this ghost professor's lectures is equivalent to turning on the listening function for someone who doesn't want to read.

But when a student asks a question, Professor Binns will still interact with you.

Shylock is exactly that person.

This also made him the most conspicuous among the sleepy little lions.

Even Hermione, who was also listening attentively, couldn't help but cast curious glances at him frequently.

This person... looks like me!
Compared to History of Magic, Herbology is much more interesting. The three-times-a-week class schedule is enough to show that this is a basic course.

The course is taught by Pomona Sprout, a short, plump witch and Head of Hufflepuff House.

The study location is in the greenhouse behind the castle rather than indoors.

As for the content, it is to teach freshmen how to cultivate these exotic plants and fungi and understand their uses.

This time, in addition to Sherlock, there was another student named Hermione who actively asked questions.

Perhaps stimulated by Sherlock's performance in the History of Magic class that morning, Hermione even stayed around Sprout after class.

Unfortunately, she still had to teach other people, so these questions would have to be left until tomorrow.

The next morning, Hermione was still the good student who actively asked questions.

Her continued excellent performance in two classes even won five points for Gryffindor and received rounds of applause.

But Sherlock was not as active as he was yesterday.

He simply completed Sprout's task step by step without asking a single question.

Because Sherlock no longer felt it was necessary.

Having read the textbook in advance and asking questions in the first class were enough for him to have his own unique understanding of the course.

This is enough.

Next, Sherlock treated every course in the same way.

Ask questions in the first class to grasp the direction and overall situation of the course, and then filter.

For those courses that are not very useful to you, just make sure you can pass the exams.

Then free up your energy to focus on courses that are more useful to you and that you are more interested in.

Soon, such courses came.

Charms class.

"Hermione Granger!"

"Sherlock Holmes!"

"..."

"Harry Potter—Ah!"

The Charms course is taught by Professor Filius Flitwick, Head of Ravenclaw House.

Professor Flitwick was of goblin descent, so he was surprisingly small. Sherlock estimated that he was less than 4 feet tall, just over meter.

During class, he had to stand on a pile of books to reach the desk.

The first class was to take roll call as usual. It was fine when other people's names were called, but when Harry Potter's name was called, he screamed excitedly and fell to the ground and disappeared.

This also made Sherlock realize once again the lethality of the name Harry Potter in the wizarding world - even the dean of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was not immune to it.

At the same time, it also proved once again that it was an extremely correct choice to complete the paired assistance for Harry before school started.

Before school started, the three Malfoys from Slytherin came to the door on their own initiative.

After school started, these teachers and students who paid attention to Harry naturally could not escape Sherlock's eyes who was with Harry, which greatly increased the speed at which he understood the magical world.

At the same time, Sherlock unexpectedly discovered that Harry had great potential to become an assistant.

This also made him gradually abandon the idea of ​​treating Harry as a tool and start to regard him as a friend he could make friends with.

Of course, this is a later story, so let’s put it aside for now.

Professor Flitwick had a strong ability to regulate himself, and it didn't take him long to calm down and start teaching.

The content of the first class is similar to other courses, and it is still a general overview of this course.

At the same time, a basic spell - the repair spell - was also taught.

It was the same spell Sherlock had used on Harry's glasses on the Hogwarts Direct.
