Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 33: Hagrid is shocked

"It's amazing that you can identify so many materials!"

After hearing Sherlock's description, Hagrid's eyes became brighter and brighter. "What else do you see?"

"Judging from the calluses on your hands, you've done a lot of extractive work."

"I've been a gamekeeper for over 40 years. This is my job."

“You cook a lot for yourself and enjoy it.”

"That's not bad either."

"You love mead."

"Very correct."

"You were asked to retrieve an important item from Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

After you take something like that out, someone breaks in and tries to steal it.

However, because you were one step ahead, the theft did not succeed.

Also, even though you think the place where you store things like this is safe now, you still care about it very much.”

Hegten stood up suddenly, and the stool fell to the ground with a bang due to the violent movement.

But at this moment, he was completely unaware. His eyes were as big as copper bells, and he pointed at Sherlock. After a long while, he suddenly realized as if he had found the truth:
"Harry told you that, didn't he?"

Harry was about to deny it when Sherlock shook his head, "No, it's actually simpler than I previously suspected."

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled out a small piece of paper from under the teapot's warming cover.

It was a clipping from the Daily Prophet.

The headline above was "Latest Report on Gringotts Break-in Incident".

Hagrid fell silent when he saw this.

Instead, Harry couldn't help but exclaimed, "That day happened to be my birthday! Hagrid, it's very likely that we were there when it happened!"

Hagrid took a deep breath, rubbed his nose and said, "Mr. Holmes, Harry is right, your deduction ability is amazing - this matter is just as you said.

But... we don't need to talk about it now, let's try my rock cake first!"

He abruptly changed the subject while enthusiastically offering food to the three people.

As Sherlock said, he loves cooking very much.

But his cooking skills are a disaster.

It's no exaggeration to say that the rock pancake almost broke Harry and Ron's teeth.

Out of politeness, Harry and Ron could only try their best to pretend that they enjoyed the food.

As for Sherlock, his eyes lit up after he tried to squeeze the rock cake hard.

Then he asked Hagrid to pack up and take away.

Hagrid was a little skeptical when he saw Sherlock didn't eat the cake, but after hearing this request, he was immediately very happy and quickly agreed.

As a result, when the three of them left, their pockets were heavy.

"I don't know."

Even a hard-working person like Ron was starting to doubt his life because of the rock cake.

"Sherlock, why did you bring them? They're impossible to chew..."

As he spoke, he took out a pancake and threw it aside.

There was a creaking sound and a branch broke.

As for the rock cake... naturally there was no damage at all.

"That's because your understanding of it is distorted."

Sherlock reached out and tapped his head. "You should try to change your mindset—don't think of it as food, think of it as equipment. That way, it will become very practical."

Harry: Σ(°△°|||)︴Ron: (lll￢ω￢)
The two didn't take it seriously and thought Sherlock was just joking.

After all, this is just a small episode.

Harry's main concern was the affairs of Gringotts Wizarding Bank.

So he simply described to Sherlock in detail how Hagrid took a small package from Vault 713 in Gringotts before taking him to withdraw the money.

Now he has gradually developed the habit of asking Sherlock when he is in doubt.

After getting more detailed information from Harry, Sherlock nodded.

"As I expected, Hagrid was asked by someone else—Dumbledore thought Gringotts wasn't safe enough, so he wanted to move it."

"It seems Dumbledore was right! If we had been a step later, that thing might have been stolen by the criminals."

Ron couldn't help but say that he was very lucky to have such a far-sighted, wise and powerful principal.

"No, that's just your subjective assumption."

Sherlock pointed out his loopholes without mercy, "According to Harry's experience and Hagrid's statement, Gringotts's safety factor is no less than Hogwarts.

Even if Hagrid hadn't taken that thing, there was no guarantee that the man would have been able to get away safely with it."

When Ron was about to refute, Sherlock said, "Of course, this is just a possibility. Maybe that person can really break through Gringotts' defenses.

After all, he is still at large.”

"Sherlock, don't you want to catch him?"

Harry asked hurriedly.

"It has always been my interest to bring every criminal to justice - but I'm afraid that's going to be difficult to achieve now."

"Why? You can definitely do it with your ability!"

Harry asked, confused.

"Oh, my dear friend," Sherlock looked at the savior of the wizarding world and, as expected, saw clear stupidity in his eyes. "I am glad that you trust me like this - but neither Gringotts Wizarding Bank nor the Ministry of Magic would ask a first-year student from a wizarding school to investigate such a theft."

Harry was speechless when he heard this.

Yes, Sherlock is only 11 years old after all. Who else would do this except someone who has truly witnessed his abilities?
Even someone who trusted him as much as Hagrid, didn't he still want to test him after hearing Sherlock's description?
Looking at Harry with a heavy heart, Sherlock said nothing more.

In fact, if he really wanted to investigate this case, there was a way.

With Hagrid's personality, it wasn't difficult to get information out of him.

What's more, there is a Dumbledore.

But compared to this case, there is something more attractive to Sherlock now.

A whole new world.

For him, who has always believed in science, the appeal of magic is too great.

Besides, this is the magical world. The Ministry of Magic can’t be like Scotland Yard, right?

Sherlock shook his head, putting this ridiculous idea out of his mind.

Time always slips away quietly without us noticing.

A month has passed since Sherlock arrived at Hogwarts.

Apart from teaching, he devotes almost all his time to several professors.

Of course, these were only courses he found useful.
