Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 45 Sherlock is bullied

In this world, there are always people who are not naturally good at some things.

such as:

Some people are not good at running.

Some people are not good at memorizing and cannot memorize words, sentences or articles no matter how hard they try.

A few people are not good at reading aloud. Even if they have read the text several times, they still stutter and read incoherently every time.

A very small number of people are not good at understanding. They think they know everything in class, but when they take the exam they find that they understand nothing.

What's worse, some are simply not good at learning.

Take Hermione for example. She performed very well in other courses, but she was like a different person in flying class.

Even some shortcomings that were not shown in the flying class were presented to Sherlock without reservation.

This also made Hermione even more embarrassed.

The more she tried to overcome it, the more confused she became.

Seeing this situation, Sherlock simply took action himself.

After teaching Hermione step by step for several days, he finally achieved satisfactory results.

It initially helped Hermione overcome her fear of heights.

In fact, everyone has a fear of heights to some extent.

It’s just that some people have mild symptoms, while others have severe symptoms.

Many people think they are not afraid of heights because the height has not reached the threshold.

After Sherlock's analysis and inference, Hermione's fear of heights is a single phobia, which can be easily solved as long as the right medicine is used.

He took Hermione on a flying broom, gradually increasing the altitude until he finally stopped at a position that would cause her terror, each time lasting at least half an hour.

At first, this level of contact made Hermione blush.

But soon, fear replaced all distractions.

Especially after reaching a certain height, Hermione began to tremble all over, her hands and feet were cold, she was covered in cold sweats in the middle of winter, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

The first few times, she even felt dizzy and fainted.

If Sherlock hadn't noticed something was wrong and hugged her in time, she would have fallen off the broom.

After a while, even Hermione wanted to give up.

I'm too hard!

However, seeing that Sherlock didn't care about it, and even had a hint of "It would be easier for me if you gave up", she gritted her teeth and persevered.

After all, compared to others, Hermione is only willing to have in-depth communication with Sherlock.

Nearly two months after the start of school, she hasn't gotten along well with her roommates or even her classmates.

In fact, Hermione's relationship with her classmates is really just that of classmates.

In fact, she herself could also notice it.

After all, this kind of thing had already happened when I was in school in the Muggle world.

Most of her classmates thought she was arrogant, liked to show off, and often preached.

As the saying goes, honest advice hurts.

In this world, except for those with special hobbies, no one likes to be taught a lesson by others.

Especially boys and girls of this age group.

If you can't even listen to your parents and elders, how can you not listen to your classmates?

When I arrived at Hogwarts, the situation did not change.

Her classmates all felt that Hermione attached too much importance to school rules and grades.

Remember, this is Gryffindor!

Take the twin brothers for example, little lions never follow the rules.

Although the “reckless troublemaker” is a stereotype, it does reflect some information to a certain extent.

Because of this, Hermione had more than one unpleasant argument with her classmates.

This even includes Harry and Ron.

The cause was that Malfoy challenged Harry to a wizard duel.

She heard the news and gave advice to the two of them in private.

Her intentions were good.

But something went wrong during execution.

"You absolutely cannot wander around the school at night. Just think about how many points Gryffindor will lose if you get caught...

And you're definitely going to get caught—you're so selfish!"

It's already very uncomfortable to say such things.

What was speechless was that she also did another thing: she waited in front of the Fat Lady's portrait in the middle of the night to see if Harry and Ron would really go on the night tour of the school.

Of course, Harry listened to Sherlock and didn't go find Malfoy.

So Hermione came up empty-handed.

Instead, he met the little round-faced Neville who forgot the password and couldn't get in.

Hermione took him back to the common room, which was a good thing by accident.

The next day, Harry and Ron learned about this from Neville and couldn't believe that there were such nosy people in the world.

As a result, the attitude towards her naturally became worse.

Especially when Ron was saying that Malfoy didn't dare to accept the challenge, he also mentioned what Hermione did.

This made it even more obvious that the Gryffindor first years were rejecting her.

Except Neville.

He was still very grateful to Hermione for taking him to find Leif on the train and for bringing him back from outside Gryffindor Tower.

In this situation, Hermione naturally felt lonely.

Sherlock was the only person besides Neville who did not reject her.

He still called her Hermione as before and did not stop giving her individual lessons.

After all, in Sherlock's opinion, these are not a big deal at all.

Out of curiosity, Hermione also asked Sherlock.

But the other party's answer surprised Hermione greatly.

"Can't we just ignore them?"

Sherlock didn't understand Hermione's confusion. "Since you think you are right, why bother about what others think?"

He himself was isolated by his classmates when he was studying in the Muggle world.

This is not surprising.

After all, his personality and behavior were never very appealing—he always pointed out other people's mistakes without considering the occasion.

But so what?
What others think has no effect on Sherlock at all.

Some people actually tried to bully him.

For example, pouring ink on exercise books, stuffing beetles into stationery, adding ingredients to breakfast, etc.

However, all the actions of these people inexplicably came back to haunt him.

When I opened my schoolbag, I found that the books were stained with ink and there was a toad attached. When I was eating, I choked on the salt in my mouth and started to doubt my life.

There were also some who didn't believe in evil and relied on their strong bodies to provoke on the spot, but they gave up after having two front teeth knocked out.

Hermione was very envious of Sherlock's ability to treat others as nothing.

She also wanted to do this, but she couldn't do it!

"If you're really that distressed, I do have a suggestion."

Looking at Hermione who was unable to concentrate because of distress, Sherlock tried to look at the problem from Hermione's perspective.

"You can take the score less seriously."

"how is this possible?"

Hermione, who always held herself to the standards of a model student, immediately retorted subconsciously:
"Professor Snape is always finding fault and deducting points. If we don't follow the school rules..."

"Miss Hermione, your brief eleven years, no, twelve years of life experience are not enough to support your understanding of reality."

Hermione: (ー`ー)
“The reality is, you either keep doing what you want and don’t care what other people think.

After all, you are not the British pound, it is impossible to please everyone.

Or change your mindset and try to fit in.”

Although it was unpleasant to hear, Hermione knew that Sherlock had the right to say such things.

He himself is the former.

She had seen Sherlock behave in a manner that could be considered bad more than once.

For example, he told Ron and the round-faced Neville face to face, "You lower the IQ of the entire academy."

For example, Dean Thomas "disrupted his thinking" just by standing in front of him.

For example, he just emphasized that he was twelve years old...

In Hermione's opinion, these actions were much more excessive than what she had done.

I was just upholding the school rules, but Sherlock was making direct personal attacks!
But Sherlock didn't care at all, and turned a deaf ear to the criticisms of others, and just did his own thing from beginning to end.

Hermione could only admit her admiration for this, saying that she couldn't compare to him in terms of doing what he said.

After much thought, she still did not follow Sherlock's advice.

She decided to change the situation in her own way.
