Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 54 He is still a child
As Snape was asked to leave the headmaster's office by Dumbledore, he saw Harry and Hermione whispering and his face changed immediately.

"Why are you still here?"

Harry was shocked and quickly explained: "Professor, we just..."

However, before he could finish his words, Snape interrupted him rudely.

"Potter, I'm not your babysitter."

He completely ignored Hermione beside him, and his eyes were like sharp blades cutting into Harry.

"Why don't you use your brain before doing anything? Or... is that thing around your neck just for show?"

Snape's vicious words left Harry speechless and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Besides your brain, your ears are also not working well?
Why are you still staying here? Do you need me to arrange a detention for you? "

Harry and Hermione's expressions suddenly changed.

At this moment, Professor McGonagall, whose expression was even gloomier than Snape's, pushed the door open and walked out.

"Professor Snape, Potter was brought here by me, and he's a Gryffindor student. Even if he needs to be dealt with, it should be me."

Seeing McGonagall also coming out of the headmaster's office, Snape was obviously stunned, but then a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.

Whether it was an illusion or not, both Harry and Hermione noticed that the corners of Snape's mouth turned up.

"Okay... Professor McGonagall, but I think you shouldn't indulge me like this anymore..."

"Severus, I am the Headmaster."

This time, it was Snape who was interrupted.

He looked at Mag in surprise, as if he didn't expect the other party to say that.

McGonagall ignored them and left with Harry and Hermione.

Harry and Hermione, who originally wanted to stay where they were and wait for Sherlock, kept silent and followed obediently.

At this moment, they even felt that Professor McGonagall was more terrifying than Professor Snape.

After the three people disappeared from his sight, Snape turned around and looked at the headmaster's office again, with a complicated look in his eyes, and then he left.

Principal's office.

Sherlock clearly felt that Professor McGonagall seemed to be even angrier than Professor Snape about being "asked" out of the office by Dumbledore.

He looked at Dumbledore. "Does this have to wait until we're alone?"

"Yes, but not yet."

Dumbledore said as he tapped the table with his wand and looked at the portrait hanging on the wall.

"Everyone, could you please step aside for a moment?"

The portraits were of men and women, all of whom were snoring softly in their frames when Sherlock first arrived.

At this moment, following Dumbledore's words, the portraits on the wall began to grumble in dissatisfaction.

Some of them kept dozing off, but eventually stopped pretending to sleep under Dumbledore's gaze and left the frame from the side, cursing.

"They are all the former headmasters of Hogwarts..."

When all the photo frames were empty, Dumbledore spoke, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Sherlock asked subconsciously: "You too?"

"what?"

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

"I mean, will you be hung here in the future too?"

"...Yes, but I hope that day won't come too soon."

Sherlock understood immediately after hearing this.

After a brief silence, Dumbledore spoke first, and as soon as he opened his mouth he revealed a big piece of news:
"I suspect, Quirrell...that you have begun working for Voldemort."

Sherlock was not surprised. "So Voldemort is not dead?" "I have always suspected that he is not dead."

Dumbledore said seriously, "Although many people believe that he passed away eleven years ago, for a powerful dark wizard like him, death-defying... is not a very difficult thing."

After saying this, he looked at Sherlock curiously, "You don't seem surprised?"

"Rubeus Hagrid once said something similar to Harry."

Sherlock said bluntly: "Some things that happened after I came to school further confirmed my guess.

But, in that case, why not just kick Quirrell out of the castle?"

Judging from the descriptions in the literature, Voldemort's strength is unquestionable.

Even though he is in a weak period now, he should not be underestimated.

But since we know that there is something wrong with Quirrell, why not nip the danger in the bud?
"Quirrel... He is an excellent Ravenclaw. As the headmaster, I cannot give up on my students - even if he has already graduated."

Dumbledore's voice was a little deep.

"He's changed a lot since school started this year, but I can also feel that he's always struggling - don't you think so too?"

"Is that why you asked the others to leave?"

Sherlock found Dumbledore's reason amusing.

"Qiluo is your student, but aren't others also yours?

Harry, me... the first years, and all the senior students in the castle, they are all your students.

Just to save a person who has made a mistake, or who may be irretrievable, we have to put so many people at risk?
For a man who wrote revenge in blood, I don’t think he deserves it.”

Sherlock's words were almost an accusation.

Dumbledore was not Snape after all. He said gently:

"Sherlock, I must admit, you are even better than Minerva says."

"Thank you. You have already said that."

Even when praised by the greatest white wizard of the century, Sherlock did not think it was something to be proud of.

"You're not stupid, so...what gave you the courage to keep Quirrell in school?"

"Sorry, I have a guess, but there are some things I can't tell you right now..."

"It's because of Harry."

"What did you say?"

Sherlock's words once again stunned Dumbledore.

"You're pinning your hopes on Harry, aren't you?"

Sherlock said expressionlessly.

Dumbledore looked at Sherlock without saying a word.

The other person's extraordinary sensitivity suddenly reminded him of someone, an old friend.

But before he could start to recall, Sherlock had already started to speak in a very fast and foul language:
"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore... Headmaster!
People say that the only thing Voldemort fears is you.

But you just said it yourself, Voldemort is a dark wizard who can resist death.

So I don't understand why you think Harry can fight against the person who started the wizarding war?
He is still a child!

A freshman who has just started learning magic!

Or do you really think that Harry Potter is the savior and that he was the one who defeated Voldemort?

In that case, maybe you could go to the dense forests of Uganda and play sumo wrestling with mountain gorillas.

Maybe after that hard slap, your mind will clear up a little."
