Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 63 They are all my customers
After the History of Magic class ended one Monday morning, Sherlock sent away several senior Ravenclaw students who came to see him.

When he returned to the classroom, he was met with surprised gazes from his classmates.

“They are all my customers.”

Sherlock offered an explanation without waiting for them to ask.

"customer?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Isn't it a bit weird to call classmates customers?
“Ever since the Halloween incident got out, people have started coming to me.

Speaking of which, we have Mr. Neville Longbottom to thank for this.

The first few customers found me through his introduction.”

"Neville?"

Several people turned to look at Neville.

The latter was stroking the toad he had just found. When he heard Sherlock's praise, he lowered his head embarrassedly.

“After I successfully helped them, gradually more people came to me for help.

In fact, these troublesome things for them just require guidance from others.

I listen to their facts, they listen to mine, and when the problem is solved, the money goes into my pocket.”

After hearing what Sherlock said, the friends understood why Sherlock called these classmates customers.

Although it seemed a little unbelievable, when I thought about Sherlock's abilities, I suddenly felt that it was not incomprehensible.

"I wish I could be as smart as Sherlock Holmes," Seamus said enviously. "Even Ravenclaw students come to see you. It's amazing!"

As we all know, Ravenclaw represents wisdom.

When all the Ravenclaw eagles came to consult Sherlock, it naturally meant that his wisdom was recognized by the group of people who were always arrogant.

Even Hermione Granger, who was already known as Miss Know-It-All, did not receive such treatment.

Since the History of Magic class ended early today, everyone was not in a hurry to eat, so they just chatted for a while.

"Come to think of it, I just found out that Mercury passed away yesterday."

Dean said with a look of regret.

"Who?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Freddie Mercury! Haven't you ever heard of him?"

Seeing that his friend's topic did not resonate with others, Simo couldn't help but explain it again.

"Freddie Mercury? Is he some famous wizard?"

Neville asked weakly.

"I've never heard of the Mercury family," Hermione thought for a moment and looked at Ron. "What about you?"

Ron spread his hands and said, "Me too."

"Freddie Mercury, an Asian-British male singer and lead singer of Queen."

Sherlock would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but when he spoke, he shocked everyone present.

Seamus looked at him in disbelief: "Holmes, you actually know Mercury!"

In his opinion, apart from Weasley and Longbottom, two classmates who came from wizarding families, both Potter and Granger should know Mercury better than Holmes.

But the truth is that only Holmes knows him.

Not to mention Sherlock's three good friends.

They knew Sherlock too well. He didn't even know that the earth revolves around the sun!

How could such a person know a band and its lead singer?

"Is Queen... famous?"

Neville raised his hand and asked weakly again.

"It's more than just famous!"

As soon as the topic of music came up, Dean immediately changed his sleepy appearance in class and started talking non-stop:
Queen formed in London in 1971 and immediately released their self-titled debut album, Queen. The band achieved commercial success with 1975's A Night at the Opera, whose single "Bohemian Rhapsody" won the first Brit Award for Best British Single.

"News Of The World", released in 1977, had a huge impact, especially the singles "We Will Rock You" and "We are the champions", which have been widely used in sports events since the 80s.

The compilation album "Greatest Hits" released in 1981 sold over 600 million copies, becoming the best-selling album in the UK.

Just last year, they won the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music."

Looking at Dean who was excitedly explaining science to everyone, the friends all showed surprised expressions.

Is this still the little black guy they are familiar with?

Why do I feel like a different person?

Only Seamus was not surprised by Dean's behavior. He continued with his friend's words:
"Queen's fusion of glam rock, progressive rock, classical music, and heavy metal influenced almost every heavy metal band of the late 20th century..."

At this point he suddenly paused, and said with a look of sudden enlightenment, "I understand why Holmes knew about Mercury! I heard from Dean that you play the violin very well!"

When he said this, Harry, Ron and Neville, who lived in the same dormitory with Sherlock, immediately reacted.

Yes, since Sherlock plays the violin so well, it’s not surprising that he knows such a famous band.

"What? You can also play the violin?"

Only Hermione looked surprised, as it was the first time she heard about this.

"I heard that he died of pneumonia caused by AIDS at the age of 45. What a pity!"

"Yes, yes, his super wide vocal range spanning four octaves and his high, brilliant tone are simply wonderful!"

Ron and Neville looked at each other in bewilderment; bands in the Muggle world were truly beyond their knowledge.

Harry and Hermione were not much better.

However, when Seamus and Dean sang "We Will Rock You", they realized that they had both heard the song before.

For Sherlock, although Queen does not have a member who specializes in playing the violin, as Seamus said, many of their works incorporate elements of classical music.

This is why he, who is good at violin, also knows the band Queen.

The next few people suggested going back to the dormitory and asking Sherlock to play a song.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.

When they looked up, they saw a little witch walking in.

She had two golden braids and a slightly red face.

"Aibo, why are you here?"

Hermione asked in surprise when she saw her.

The little girl was none other than Hannah Abbott of Hufflepuff.

Hermione was quite impressed by her because she was the first one to wear the Sorting Hat during the Sorting Ceremony.

"Granger, it's great that you're here too!"

Abbott seemed happier when he saw Hermione, and then he said, "I'm here to see Mr. Holmes."

Having said that, his eyes unconsciously looked in Sherlock's direction.

()
Seeing this situation, several people understood and stood up and walked out with a smile.

Hermione walked last, but just as she was about to leave, Abbott suddenly reached out and grabbed her, saying pleadingly:

"Granger, please don't leave. Please."

Hermione was a little surprised and then looked at Sherlock.

"Hermione, if you would sit down for a moment, you might be able to help me a lot."

Hermione was originally quite interested in the fact that Abbott came to see Sherlock, but since everyone else had left, she felt a little embarrassed to stay alone.

But now that Sherlock and Aibo had said so, she sat down.

"Well, Miss Abbott, now I can tell you what's bothering you?"

"How do you know I'm troubled?"

Hannah Abbott asked in surprise.
