Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 46 You can go ahead
After being enlightened by Sherlock, Hermione began to change her situation in her own way.

In every class, she speaks actively with more intensity than before, striving to earn points.

This move can be said to have achieved obvious results.

In just one month, all the professors except Snape gave Gryffindor a lot of extra points.

but.

Even though Hermione scored nearly 30 points this season and was named the top scorer in the first grade, her treatment in Gryffindor remained unchanged.

This is not surprising.

Because in a way, everything she did was in vain.

In the eyes of her students, Hermione Granger was a good student, but she always nagged her classmates when they made mistakes, often stopped them from copying each other's homework, and liked to tell tales to the teacher...

how to say?

Everyone knew she was right, but no one liked her.

Sherlock could do nothing about it.

The advice had been given, but unfortunately she didn't listen.

Of course, others will not appreciate this kind of one-sided effort that is made for your own good.

What's more, other people didn't need her to do this at all - in the eyes of the little lions of Gryffindor, Hermione was simply meddling in other people's affairs.

When you focus on doing something, you will feel that time passes very quickly.

Before I knew it, two months had passed since I started school.

The atmosphere in the school also became cheerful.

The first-year students are about to have their first festival at school.

Halloween.

After a long period of evolution, this festival has long lost its original religious color and has become a traditional festival mainly for celebration.

Halloween actually lasts two days.

October 31st of the Gregorian calendar is called Halloween.

November 1st is known as All-Saints' Day.

Halloween in the popular sense refers to October 31st, which is also the day when first-year students will hold a celebration party.

As for Halloween night, it is often called All Saints' Day or All Saints' Day.

Whenever Halloween comes, children will dress up as cute ghosts and knock on doors from house to house, asking for candy, otherwise they will cause trouble.

Legend has it that all kinds of ghosts will mingle among the crowd that night, so adults often dress themselves up as monsters.

In addition, there are holiday customs such as carving pumpkin lanterns, playing pranks, and biting apples.

In the Muggle world, Halloween is an important holiday.

For example, Yorkshire, where Sherlock originally planned to go to school.

The Halloween celebrations there are extremely famous throughout the UK.

Sherlock originally thought that the wizarding world would not celebrate this festival.

But now it seems that he is narrow-minded.

The magical world celebrates four festivals: Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Easter.

Valentine's Day is the most out of place among the four holidays, giving people the feeling of sneaking in. At Hogwarts, only senior students like it.

There will be holidays for Christmas and Easter, which is a bit embarrassing - after all, the Church killed a lot of wizards in the past.

On Halloween morning, Sherlock woke up to the smell of roasting pumpkins in the corridor.

It can be said that from this time on, the festive atmosphere is already in place.

The last class before the event celebration was Charms, and the first-grade wizards also welcomed a new teaching content - the levitation spell.

Everyone is very interested in this.

Because Professor Flitwick demonstrated it using Neville's pet, Riff, who always liked to leave his owner behind to travel alone. With the help of the Levitation Charm, it was able to fly wingless above the classroom.

but.

The difficulty of the spell quickly dampened their enthusiasm.

Compared to the spells I learned before, the Levitation Charm has eight syllables.

Not only must the pronunciation be standard, but the requirements for the casting action are also very high.

It can be said that the difficulty has soared.

In the spell practice part, as usual, they were still trained in pairs.

Sherlock's partner is Harry, which makes the latter very happy.

Because Seamus Finnigan kept trying to get his attention.

Harry would rather team up with Neville than with him.

It's not that Harry looked down on Seamus, it's mainly because Seamus has a magical ability. A spell that is harmless to others will inexplicably cause an explosion once he casts it.

This is especially evident in Transfiguration and Charms classes.

According to Sherlock's scientific analysis, this may be related to genetics.

Seamus Finnigan was the subject of his reasoning while he was waiting for the train at Platform 9 3/4 before school started.

At that time, Sherlock's analysis of him was [a newborn, his mother is a wizard, his father is an ordinary man working in the blasting industry, and he only found out his wife's identity after marriage]

This inference was confirmed after school started.

So apart from the teacher, only a very small number of students like Sherlock can cover for him.

Harry clearly doesn't have that ability.

As for Neville, who was partnering with Seamus with a miserable look on his face, he could only hope for the best.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Harry was happy that he was matched with Sherlock, while Hermione was a little disappointed that she was not teamed up with Sherlock.

Her partner is Ron.

Ron was also very reluctant about this matter.

He had disliked Hermione ever since he met her.

Although during this period, because of the incident that Hermione spoke up for Sherlock and Harry, his favorability towards Hermione increased.

But Hermione's subsequent actions quickly caused Ron's favorability towards her to drop rapidly.

This situation reached its peak after Hermione lectured them about not dueling with Malfoy and came to catch him late at night.

Even after Hermione was enlightened by Sherlock and tried to change the situation in her own way, it still didn't work.

Recently, apart from Sherlock and Neville, only Harry could barely say a few words to Hermione.

This is still Harry giving Sherlock face.

Neville is an introvert and timid person, so the only person who really doesn't reject Hermione is Sherlock.

Unfortunately, she was not assigned to the same group as Sherlock - Professor Flitwick was obviously not a good observer.

"Wingardim Leviosa!"

Ron was waving his arms like a windmill and shouting incantations.

On the one hand, he brought his anger towards Hermione into practice, and on the other hand, he hoped to use this method to let Feather feel his determination.

He had heard Harry talk about his experience in flying lessons - the broom could see through your inner timidity.

be confident!
However, instead of appearing confident, he seemed more like a threat when he was roaring.

So it's useless.

Although the feathers are light, they are not afraid of threats.

"It's Winga-dimlevi-o-sa. The 'g' must not only be pronounced but also pronounced long and clearly."

After watching Ron try again and again without success, Hermione finally couldn't help herself and started lecturing.

"proceed if you can!"

Ron was already annoyed, but upon hearing this, he immediately changed the target of his roar to Hermione.

Without saying a word, Hermione waved her wand and chanted the spell in a standard London accent.

"Yunga-dim-le-vi-o-sa!"

The feather floated up very politely and hovered directly above the table.

"Good job!"

Professor Flitwick looked excited, "Look everyone, Miss Granger has succeeded too! One point for Gryffindor!"

The reason I say "also" is because Sherlock had succeeded before Hermione.

This was not difficult for him.

Even Harry, who was with him, was encouraged.

After several consecutive failures, success finally came.

So the two of them got bonus points long before Hermione.

but.

Sherlock's extra points naturally won him a round of applause.

Not to mention Harry, who cheered much louder than Sherlock when he added points.

This is the appearance of the savior of the magical world.

Just Hermione.

Nobody cares.
