Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 26 Five points for Gryffindor

Professor McGonagall was stunned.

It had been years since she'd transformed into a tabby cat and taught freshmen their first Transfiguration class.

Because this little action was required to be kept strictly confidential, just like the sorting ceremony, she had been able to observe each class of freshmen from a cat's perspective over the years.

very funny.

Most of the freshmen did not see the mystery of this cat. They thought the teacher was not present and made loud noises without any scruples. Even when the class time was up, they still did not restrain themselves, did not stop, and did not know when to stop.

This year is no exception.

Perhaps because of Harry Potter's enrollment, the little lions this year were particularly excited. Every few words they spoke, they would look in Harry's direction at the ball.

Watching their performance, Mag even thought about his own concluding remarks at the end of the class:

"You are the worst class I have ever led!"

But she never imagined that one day she would be grabbed by the neck and lifted up by a student.

Unbelievable!
Friends who often play with cats know that cats have a fatal weakness:
As long as you pinch the back of the neck, no matter how fierce and unruly it is, it will become well-behaved and docile and let you do whatever you want.

The cats of the wizarding world are no exception.

Furthermore, any wizard who transfigures into an animal through the Animagus technique will possess the characteristics of that animal.

This tabby cat was transformed by Professor McGonagall through the Animagus method.

So she was careless and didn't dodge, and was ambushed by Sherlock.

I wanted to resist but couldn't break free because of the cat's nature.

After waiting for a long time for humanity to overcome animality and gain the upper hand, Sherlock had already let go of Fate's neck, put it in his arms, and started to stroke it instead of grabbing it.

Sherlock's technique of petting a cat is quite skillful, he strokes the cat gently, rubs it, and picks it up repeatedly, which soon makes Professor McGonagall addicted and unable to extricate herself.

"Sherlock, do you think the lines around this cat's eyes look like Professor McGonagall's glasses?"

Harry had been learning the difference between looking and observing ever since Sherlock had explained it.

So when he discovered this, he was very excited.

I've heard that the longer you keep a pet, the more similar the owner and the pet become.

Sherlock had just said that this wasn't Professor McGonagall's pet.

Now it seems that he was finally wrong this time!
Harry felt a little proud, but he didn't say it out loud.

After all, Sherlock is so smart, he must have understood what I meant.

Unexpectedly, before Sherlock could answer, the cat seemed to understand what he said and suddenly struggled out of Sherlock's hands and fell to the ground.

The next moment, the tabby cat disappeared, and a serious-looking woman appeared in everyone's sight.

She wore an emerald green cape and her dark hair was tied into a tight bun.

The square glasses he wears look exactly like the patterns around a cat's eyes.

It was Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, Head of Gryffindor House, and Professor of Transfiguration.

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

The freshmen who saw this scene were stunned.

Harry and Ron watched Sherlock petting the cat with their mouths opened so wide that they could even fit a piece of fecal stone in.

Ron couldn't even speak clearly: "McMcMcMcGall...Professor McGonagall!"

McGonagall first looked at Harry gratefully, then looked at Sherlock with a sharp gaze:
"Mr. Holmes, have you recognized me?"

When they first met, Sherlock was able to infer that Hogwarts was in Scotland from the texture of the admission letter and his own analysis.

Faced with a little wizard with such magical powers, she had no reason not to be suspicious.

Looking at Professor McGonagall's serious tone, Harry and Ron suddenly realized what Sherlock had just done.

The two of them were sweating profusely. They looked at Sherlock with a mixture of admiration and worry, secretly worrying about Sherlock.

"Not really," Sherlock said calmly, "but I've never seen a cat so frozen."

Seeing that Sherlock's eyes were clear and he didn't seem to be lying, Professor McGonagall's expression eased a little.

He's just a young wizard who yearns for the magical world and has just started school. What bad intentions could he have?

"If you saw your students like this, you would freeze up too."

McGonagall's amazing performance had already attracted the attention of the freshmen, but this sentence made everyone silent.

"The professor's Transfiguration technique is so flawless, and I can't even sense any magical energy. It's truly amazing!"

Only Sherlock was still amazed at Professor McGonagall's wonderful performance, as if he was not the one who had just manipulated Professor McGonagall.

"Mr. Holmes, this transformation is called Animagus, which allows people to truly turn into animals. It is a very difficult form of Transfiguration.

During practice, you may even become unable to transform back into a normal human due to confusion in your thinking. This is too dangerous for you now!

Okay, now everyone get back to your seats—I'm about to start transforming!"

Hearing that Sherlock didn't notice anything unusual about her, Mag secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The main reason is that my performance just now was really... embarrassing.

In fact, when Sherlock petted the cat at first, she refused.

But in her Animagus transformation, she unknowingly obeyed her cat nature.

Coupled with Sherlock's skillful craftsmanship, she soon became very excited.

Fortunately, Harry suddenly pointed out the characteristics of the lines around her eyes, which woke her up from her comfort zone and allowed her to struggle back to her original form without making a fool of herself.

It has become a fact that I have been masturbated by students.

At this time, she could only use other methods to divert her attention.

Fortunately, this kind of thing is not difficult for her.

She first transformed her desk into a pig, and then back again.

The students were really attracted and couldn't wait to start learning.

However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she poured a bucket of cold water on everyone:
"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you will learn at Hogwarts."

Her eyes swept over everyone, lingering briefly on Sherlock and Harry before continuing slowly:
"Anyone who acts mischievously in my class will be asked to leave and never be allowed back in again—I've warned you."

Seeing the students sitting upright, McGonagall began to lecture with satisfaction.

It was this lecture that made everyone realize that it would take a long time to turn furniture into animals.

You have to start from the beginning.

For example, the content of this lesson is to turn a match into a needle.

But this seemingly simple lesson has stumped almost everyone.

By the end of the get out of class, only Hermione's match had changed. Although one end was still a match head, the other end had become very pointed.

Mag smiled at her.

Seeing McGonagall, who had been serious throughout the class, finally smile, Hermione held her head high like a proud swan.

This is a true Gryffindor, he must have the talent for Transfiguration!

then……

"Five points to Gryffindor!"

Hermione was suddenly surprised.

It shouldn’t be!

I heard that Professor McGonagall always values ​​points like gold. Although I performed very well, making Professor McGonagall smile is already a victory. It shouldn't be enough to get extra points, right?
