Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 35 He is a good person

When Sherlock heard Hermione mention Poirot, his disdain faded a little:
"Poirot can be considered a true detective. His reasoning ability is much stronger than Dupin's. He can solve some cases just by using his brain, and his reasoning process can be considered meticulous.

But he didn't like going out into the wild. With no power, he could only rely on the police to present the facts to him on a platter, and then analyze them with his so-called "little grey cells".

If the police report something that is not true, then he, who cannot personally search for clues, will be misled and make inferences that are inconsistent with the facts."

"But he always finds the murderer!"

When Hermione heard the two people she admired being belittled by Sherlock, she couldn't help but retort.

"Because this is fiction, dear Miss Granger."

Sherlock smiled at Hermione's question.

"As the author, Agatha Christie could certainly ensure that Poirot's intuition was always correct, and so was her Miss Marple, but that wasn't necessarily the case in real life.

By the way, like most popular fiction writers, this author likes to pile up settings and detailed descriptions, but ignores the fact that the real core of the novel is the wonderful plot and distinct characters.

As a result, whenever the reasoning plot is too long, it will become boring, and readers will lose patience while reading and just want the murderer to appear as soon as possible.

Only someone like me would care about the process of reasoning itself—unfortunately, I am not a normal person.”

Hermione was initially a little angry when she heard Sherlock looked down on the two people she admired.

But after hearing his evaluation of himself, I suddenly felt that there was no need to be angry.

Saying that you are not a normal person... When you get angry, you even scold yourself. What is there to be angry about?
She said she was no longer angry, but she no longer spoke to Sherlock.

She didn't speak, and Sherlock didn't speak either.

Just like that, the two of them walked back in silence, and there was an unexpected tacit understanding between them.

Until they arrived at the Gryffindor common room and saw a notice posted on the notice board.

One month into the new semester, flight classes are finally about to begin.

Only first-year students have this course. It is held after Charms on Thursday afternoons and is taught by Rolanda Hooch. The content is to learn how to use a flying broom.

"We're going to have classes with Slytherin students again?"

Hermione couldn't help but frown when she saw the notice, "Why do we always have to be put together with them?"

"Don't have any prejudice against this academy."

Compared to the dissatisfied Hermione, Sherlock was much calmer. "There is no distinction between the four colleges. Dean Severus Snape is also an excellent professor..."

"you sure?"

Hermione looked shocked, "Do you really think Professor Snape is a good person?"

"Although I think it's a bit one-sided to judge a person simply by 'good' or 'bad', if you follow your understanding, Professor Snape is indeed a good person."

"He's targeting you and Potter like that, and you still think he's a good person?"

Hermione now really felt that Sherlock was right, he was indeed not a normal person.

"As a professor, there's nothing wrong with what he did. Deducting points is his right. As for targeting..."

Sherlock smiled and said, "Miss Granger, you may not believe it, but he is probably the person in this school who least wants anything to happen to Harry."

Hermione: (°ー°〃)
After a moment's silence, Hermione sighed deeply, "As long as you're happy... But I don't think Potter himself would think so."

"Honestly, his opinion doesn't matter."

"Yes, yes. Snape has already deducted thirty points from him this month, which is more than twice the total of the rest of Gryffindor."

At this point, Hermione couldn't help laughing.

Unfortunate Harry Potter, his identity as the savior that was highly praised by others seemed to have lost its effect on Snape.

After a few more discussions, Hermione found that she could not convince Sherlock, so she had no choice but to return to the girls' dormitory.

But before she left, she hesitated again. Sherlock: "Miss Granger, please speak up."

"..."

Hermione took a deep breath, "Can you just call me Hermione from now on?"

Sherlock was slightly startled, then nodded, "Of course."

After Hermione left, Sherlock shook his head.

Isn't it natural to change a person's name from a surname to a given name when the relationship becomes close?

Is it necessary to bring it up specifically? Or use that tangled tone?

Sure enough, my father was right. Even I sometimes couldn’t understand women’s thought processes.

The popularity of flying classes among first-year students is much higher than expected.

Most people born into wizarding families start telling stories about their past flying experiences whenever they have free time.

It seemed like they spent most of their childhood flying around the wilderness on broomsticks.

This includes Ron.

He would tell anyone who would listen the story of the time he almost hit a hang glider while riding Charlie's old broom.

This is of course an exaggeration, but it is much better than Malfoy in the Serpentarium next door who often has close calls with helicopters.

Freshmen like Sherlock, Harry, and Hermione, who grew up in Muggle families, were also very interested in flying lessons, but they were not as excited as others.

Neville was the only exception.

Others were excited but nervous, but he was just nervous.

Because although he grew up in a wizard family, his grandmother never let him get close to a flying broom.

Because of this, he had been hanging on every word Hermione said during this time - the latter had found some flying instructions in a library book called Quidditch Through the Ages.

Sherlock has also read this book, but he thinks these things are of little significance.

If you want to fly higher, reading alone will definitely not work.

Flying is like driving a car; the instructions in a book will only work if you try it yourself.

You know, many people still can't drive even if they get a driver's license.

Only by actually driving on the road can you master real driving skills.

Finally, Thursday afternoon arrived as everyone expected.

Compared to his excited classmates, Sherlock was also looking forward to the flying class, but he did not act so exaggeratedly.

I even wanted to ask Professor Freevi a few more questions at the end of the Charms class.

But in the end, he left under the repeated urging of the anxious Harry and Ron.

Even so, by the time they and the other Gryffindors hurried down the sloping grass to the grounds in front of the gate, the Slytherins were already there.

As the little lions arrived, the little snakes' eyes immediately became cold.

The little lions, known for their courage, naturally glared back without any hesitation.

The two sides' eyes met, and an anxious atmosphere began to spread around them.

The most intense eye contact was between Harry and Malfoy.

Sherlock turned a blind eye to this.

His attention was further away.
