Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 37 Reasoning is not divination
Before Madam Hooch blew her whistle, a figure rushed out in advance.

Neville Longbottom.

The reason he started early was because he encountered many obstacles after school started, so he had a strong desire deep in his heart:
"Teacher, I want to make progress so much!"

In fact, when he made this move, he already knew that he was finished.

At this moment, scenes from the past eleven years flashed through my mind.

Dying?

I heard that people only recall their life experiences when they are about to die.

What a pity...

Grandma said, I had a chance to become the savior...

Just when he thought he was dead.

A strong resistance suddenly came from behind.

A pair of strong arms held him down in an extremely rough manner.

It's like a car that has already shifted into first gear, just started moving with the accelerator pressed, but suddenly the brakes are slammed on.

The car stopped in its tracks, its rear wheels spinning.

The tail of Neville's broom kept vibrating at a high frequency, as if he was unwilling to be conquered in such a non-magical way.

However, this is of no use.

All flying brooms have a layer of flying spell on the surface, but the spell's effect and range are not large.

Especially the flying broom used for classes.

Just like a driving training car, it meets the minimum requirements of economy - as long as it can be used, it's fine.

So no matter how hard you struggle, it will be of no avail.

The more it struggles, the more excited those who are trying to stop it from taking off become.

That's what makes it interesting.

Everyone was shocked by this scene.

Sherlock!
He actually single-handedly stopped Neville who was about to take off.

Also, why is he so strong?
In the competition between the two sides, the broom finally gave up struggling.

The result was that Neville was only one body length ahead of the others and was unable to fly.

"Merlin's beard!"

Hooch was the first to react. She ran towards Neville while shouting common exclamations in the wizarding world.

No one knew better than her what would happen if Neville flew out early.

A person who doesn't know how to control a broomstick flies up into the sky and is lucky only to break his wrist.

Bad luck...it's hard to say what part of the body was broken.

While checking Neville's body with lingering fear, she thanked Sherlock sincerely: "Thank you so much! Child, are you okay?"

"The broomstick's thrust is quite powerful, but it's not difficult to handle if you're prepared."

Sherlock shook his arms and spoke truthfully.

"You're so strong! It's hard to imagine that you, who look so thin, are so powerful..."

After confirming that Neville was fine, Huo Qi breathed a sigh of relief and then asked in surprise, as if he had realized it belatedly:
"By the way, how did you know this kid would act in advance? I don't think you have divination courses yet, right?"

All the students pricked up their ears when they heard Huo Qi's question.

After all, in the magical world, predicting the future is really too mysterious.

After all, the fact that the Savior would end the Dark Lord's rule was predicted through divination.

However, the savior in the prophecy knew very well at this moment that this matter had nothing to do with divination.

Sherlock must have figured out that something was going to happen to Neville from some detail that no one else noticed.

Ron and Hermione also had the same idea as him.

After all, they are all people who have witnessed Sherlock's abilities more than once.

Sherlock did not disappoint them.

"This has nothing to do with divination..."

Sherlock pointed at Neville and explained calmly and calmly:

"When people are overly nervous, they secrete hormones like adrenaline, dopamine, and cortisol. Under their influence, they often do things that go against common sense. It was obvious that I could easily judge this through some of his actions, and thus took emergency measures in advance."

"Obvious?"

Madam Hooch was unable to follow Sherlock's train of thought for a moment.

"Yes, such as the whitening of the hands gripping the stick, the abnormal twitching of the limbs, and the abnormal flushing of the face...

Of course, the most important thing is that I know this student's personality, so I infer that he is very likely to take off early because he is worried about being left on the ground."

"But how do you know what hormones people secrete when they're nervous..."

"Adrenaline, dopamine, cortisol—it's common sense, Madam Hooch."

Huo Qi:

How come I don’t know this common sense!
After Sherlock finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Only Harry, Ron and Hermione showed an expression of "as expected".

Harry looked at Sherlock with admiration.

Even though it had happened more than once, he still felt the same way every time something similar happened.

He found it so incredible until Sherlock explained.

After Sherlock's explanation, it seems so simple.

In any case, Sherlock's actions saved Neville, which led Hooch to generously award Gryffindor six points.

Sherlock was very satisfied. This way he could offset the loss of missing two classes of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

After this incident, the following flight lessons went smoothly.

Most people performed normally and successfully completed the first test flight mission.

Except Neville.

He was forbidden by Hooch from flying in this class.

Neville didn't care about this.

At this moment, he was taking out a glass ball filled with white smoke and said to Hermione who was also lying on the ground:
"Grandma knows that I always have a bad memory, so she asked an owl to send me a memory ball, which will tell you if you have forgotten something.

Squeeze it tightly like this, and if it turns red, you've forgotten something..."

He paused at this point.

Because the moment he held the memory ball, it suddenly turned bright red.

Neville: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Hermione:
Neville immediately tried desperately to remember what he had forgotten.

Hermione sighed and looked up at the sky.

She wasn't banned from flying.

But when she was testing the flight, she suddenly discovered something very helpless.

She is not good at flying.

Although not as bad as Neville, the flying class is obviously much worse than the ease he felt in other courses.

Especially when flying to a certain height, she didn't dare to lower her head.

Otherwise, you will not be able to continue because your legs will tremble.

She is so stubborn that she won't give up like this.

Unfortunately, after trying several times, I still can't overcome this fear.

So she had no choice but to return to the ground to rest.

Of course, her performance was considered acceptable to Madam Huoqi.

But in Hermione's eyes, if she couldn't get an excellent grade, she would be a failure.

What's more, it's not even good now, just barely passing.

in particular……

Hermione looked up.

It would be fine if Harry and Sherlock were better than him, but even the red-haired boy from the Weasley family and Seamus, who always made explosive noises in class, looked like he was at ease.

This was really unbearable for her, who had a strong personality.
