Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 62 The Hound of the Baskervilles

Chapter 62 The Hound of the Baskervilles
When Hagrid heard Sherlock say that the person who wanted to harm Harry was Quirrell, he was shocked on the spot.

"No... I was wondering why you always like to doubt the professors at Hogwarts?

Just now it was Snape, and now it's Quirrell...

This is simply impossible..."

Before Hagrid could finish his words, Sherlock interrupted him: "It was Professor Quirrell. He was the one who released the troll on Halloween."

Hagrid: (o_O)
"By the way, that night he was going to check the mechanism protecting the Philosopher's Stone, but was stopped by Professor Snape.

Professor Snape, who was suspected by Ron, almost had his leg bitten off by your big dog, Hagrid."

This time it wasn't just Hagrid whose eyes widened.

The four people present opened their eyes wide at the same time:

"What stone are you talking about?"

"Snape stopped Quirrell?"

"Gorgon! How do you know about Fluffy?"

"Sherlock, how many things are you hiding from us?"

Facing four inquiring glances, Sherlock let out a long sigh.

Looking at the situation, he understood that if he didn't explain things clearly, the topic would not be able to continue.

"The Philosopher's Stone is a substance with special properties and is the main ingredient in the Elixir of Life."

Sherlock said, turning to Harry, "My friend, if you still remember the wizard card in the Chocolate Frog, you should remember the introduction to Dumbledore."

"I'm sorry. I don't remember."

Harry said shamefacedly.

Sherlock shrugged. "Dumbledore's most well-known contributions include defeating the Dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, discovering the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and his significant achievements in alchemy with his partner Nicolas Flamel."

Under the four people's dull gazes, Sherlock recited these words directly.

"Sherlock, how do you remember all this..."

Harry found it difficult to understand.

Yes, he had indeed seen the wizard cards before, and the content recorded by Dumbledore also left a deep impression on him.

But asking him to repeat the above content in full more than two months later was simply impossible.

“I remember telling you before that the human brain is like a hard drive.

If you choose to discard what is no longer useful, you will naturally retain the information you need, and you can do the same."

Faced with Sherlock's matter-of-fact statement, the four looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

I'm afraid only you can do that kind of thing?

"The reference to Nicolas Flamel's achievements in alchemy is to the Philosopher's Stone."

Sherlock turned to Hagrid and asked, "Fluffy is your hound, isn't he?"

Still in shock, Hagrid replied subconsciously, "Yes, Fluffy is very loyal. I bought him from a guy I met in a hotel last year.

That guy seemed to be called... Baskerville - and then I lent it to Dumbledore to guard the Philosopher's Stone..."

The words stopped abruptly.

"Is this what you deduced?"

Hagrid couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up suddenly, his eyes wide as bells, and his voice began to tremble slightly.

This first-grade little wizard... is so scary!

"Half of it is inference, and the other half is what Dumbledore said."

Sherlock was very pleased with Hagrid's honesty. He put his hands together and supported his chin, looking at him with sharp eyes:
"The Hound of the Baskervilles? Sounds interesting."

Hagrid was slightly relieved to hear that it was Dumbledore who told Sherlock the information.

Fortunately, fortunately, if all this information was deduced by Sherlock, then he would be exaggerating a bit.

But then again, for a first-year to have made it this far is already quite impressive. And...how come Dumbledore told Sherlock everything?
After briefly explaining to Hagrid and his three friends, Sherlock made a concluding speech.

"From Snape and Quirrell's actions today, we can confirm three things:
First, Quirrell is indeed Voldemort's minion..."

Hearing the name, Hagrid and Ron both gasped and shuddered.

Harry and Hermione were naturally indifferent, and Sherlock remained calm:

"Secondly, Quirrell, or rather Voldemort, wants to obtain the Philosopher's Stone—and by the way, Hagrid was the one who broke into Gringotts."

"what?"

Hagrid's eyes widened again, and before he could react, Sherlock explained:
"Harry told me you met at the Leaky Cauldron."

Before Hagrid could figure out the connection, Sherlock continued:
"Third, Professor Snape is no match for Professor Quirrell."

"why would you say so?"

This time it was Hermione who asked the question.

"Professor Snape is the master of potions, but Quirrell looks so timid."

"Don't be fooled by appearances, Hermione, Quirrell is much more than he appears.

Even after Snape had begun to remove the curse, Quirrell was still able to control the broomstick through silent spells.

Professor Snape had the upper hand until you disrupted his spellcasting.

—Of course, it is easier to destroy than to protect.”

After Sherlock finished speaking, everyone in the cabin fell silent.

School has been going on for more than two months, and even Harry and Hermione, who grew up in the Muggle world, have a clear understanding of Voldemort's power.

Now that he heard that even the professors of Hogwarts had become his minions, it was naturally hard to accept for a while.

"Sherlock, you said Professor Dumbledore already knew about this, right?"

Hermione suddenly asked.

"Yes."

Seeing Sherlock's affirmative answer, the latter laughed out loud:
"That's all right—even during the Wizarding War, Hogwarts was the only safe place.

By all accounts, Professor Dumbledore was the only person Voldemort feared."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Hermione's words.

Yes, as long as Headmaster Dumbledore is at Hogwarts, Quirrell won't dare to act rashly.

As for what happened today, wasn't that discussed with Dumbledore in advance by Sherlock?

Now that he has surfaced, there is nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this clearly, Hagrid's hut was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

With the Quidditch match over, Harry's fame soared.

Already the savior of the wizarding world, he now has a new title – Quidditch genius.

Of course, whether it was the troll in the basement on Halloween or the flying broom on the Quidditch field, nothing related to Quirrell was leaked.

This resulted in Sherlock's reputation increasing significantly in addition to Harry.

Because the version circulating among teachers and students is that Sherlock deduced that Hermione was in the girls' room based on Professor Quirrell's behavior on Halloween.

Not only that, he also took action immediately and rescued Hermione from the troll.

This brave behavior was naturally praised by the Gryffindor lions.

In addition, his reasoning ability also attracted the attention of the Ravenclaw eagles.

After the wizard duel, some classmates began to consult Sherlock.

However, most of them are students from our college, and the questions they ask are relatively simple.

But after this incident, people from other colleges gradually began to come to see Sherlock.
