It's just a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Chapter 13 Changes that must be made
Hearing what Harry said, neither Ron nor Hermione could associate Sherlock with an unkind face and ice cream.

"Maybe he just happened to be standing there? He doesn't look like he likes to eat something that only children like to eat." Ron guessed.

"Maybe you're right." Harry shrugged, not giving the matter much thought.

Originally, Harry and the others planned to split up.

But after meeting Sherlock, the Weasleys obviously wanted to find an excuse to stay with him for a while, so Harry, Hermione and the children of the Weasley family could only listen to them and go to the Lihen Bookstore first. buy books.

"After you left the Auror Command, Kingsley has always expressed regret. He said that you are an outstanding wizard. If you continue to stay in the command, you will be promoted to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in a few years. In the future, you will It has a big future."

Walking on the streets of Diagon Alley, Mr. Weasley talked to Sherlock about what happened after he left the Ministry of Magic.

"However, teaching at Hogwarts is also good. Every professor in the castle is a leader in the wizarding world, and you will become better and better with them."

"Of course I will."

Compared with him, Sherlock's response seemed a little sparing, but it still didn't dampen Mr. Weasley's enthusiasm for chatting.

At the same time, Mrs. Weasley has been proudly telling the children following Sherlock's "brilliant" history.

"When your Professor Forrest was studying at Hogwarts, he got the highest grade of O in the final exam every year, and even got 12 top grades in the OWLs exam. Head of Boys at Hogwarts."

Fred and George interrupted Mrs. Weasley's showing off impatiently, then looked at Sherlock quietly from the corner of their eyes, and asked Mrs. Weasley in a low voice.

"Mom, who is this Professor Forrest? Why do you and Dad like him so much?"

When the twins were questioning, Harry Ron and Hermione also pricked up their ears cleverly, trying to eavesdrop on something inside.

Hearing Fred's question, Mrs. Weasley's face suddenly became dark and sad. She looked at Sherlock's back with sad eyes and a little pity, and whispered softly.

"His mother was a very good friend of mine and your father's."

When George and Fred saw their mother showing such an obvious expression, their eyes immediately lit up.

But before they could open their mouths, Mrs. Weasley broke their illusions about continuing to inquire.

"This is an adult's business! You don't know these things that have nothing to do with you, don't think that I don't know what's going on in your mind! Let me remind you, in the future, you must respect Sherlock like your own brother! Do you hear me clearly!"

Her tone was harsh, but the twins didn't take it seriously.

They elongated their voices and replied weakly.

"We listen~clear~clear~Mom."

Then they squeezed each other's eyes and said with a hippie smile.

"We'll respect him as much as we respect Percy!"

Sherlock and Mr. Weasley were walking in front at this time, and did not hear the conversation between Mrs. Weasley and the children behind.

A group of them walked into the Lihen Bookstore, and the little wizards dispersed, looking for the books they needed for the new semester in the bookstore.

Most of the children of the Weasley family gather in the old book area, and the economic conditions of their family do not allow every child to use new textbooks.

"I think the textbooks of this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class are all the old ones. Why didn't you let Hogwarts use your defense magic works?"

Hearing Mr. Weasley's words, Sherlock felt a pain in his heart.

He naturally knew that although the original owner was young, he had already published two magic books related to Defense Against the Dark Arts in the magic world, and the response in the academic world was very good.

However, the magic knowledge involved in these two books is too high-end, and it is beyond the understanding of Sherlock at this stage.

If he used his own book as a textbook, but couldn't explain the truth clearly in class, then there would be a big problem.

"What I wrote is still too immature, and using it as a textbook will delay the students in Hogwarts."

When Mr. Weasley heard his explanation, the expression on his face was obviously a little surprised, and he said with a sigh.

"I haven't seen you for nearly two years, and you have changed a lot. But you don't need to be humble about Sherlock in this respect. The two books you wrote are no lower than any book on Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Sherlock's heart jumped slightly, and then he said with a compensatory indifferent face.

"I'm not being humble, I just have my own set of high standards."

"I know I know."

Mr. Weasley said he knew, but the clear smile on his face obviously misunderstood something.

After all, normal people understand things like being upright in mouth and body.

Seeing him like this, Sherlock didn't continue to defend himself, but fell into deep thought for a while.

Since the magic world has magic that can read other people's memories, after he crossed over to the original owner, he treated everyone carefully, walking on eggshells, for fear that someone would find out his problem.

If there was an accident and a wizard looked into his brain without him noticing, then it would really be over.

But the character of the original owner was too withdrawn and indifferent.

Before crossing over, Sherlock himself was a person with a very normal personality. Now it's about his life and wealth, so it's okay for him to pretend for a while.

But if it takes a long time, or let him be like this for the rest of his life, then he will definitely not be able to bear it and persist, and he will become not like himself.

Therefore, he must change.

To change their inherent impression in the eyes of professor McGonagall and the Weasleys, so that they no longer recognize themselves as the indifferent and withdrawn Sherlock.

Instead, he completely replaced Sherlock himself, so that he would not have to live a life of pretending every day in the future.

Of course, this change must not be sudden.

It is true that people will change, but without the passage of time, or the occurrence of any major changes, a sudden and great change in a person's personality will definitely arouse the suspicion of interested people.

The cost of verifying such doubts in the wizarding world is very low.

So he has to slowly change his personality and change his impression in the eyes of the original owner's acquaintances.

Just like Sherlock's habitual modest words just now, the Sherlock in Mr. Weasley's cognition obviously couldn't say it.

But he hasn't seen the original owner for almost two years, and now Sherlock's personality is a little different from before, which is naturally a matter of course.

While Sherlock was thinking, a sneer that sounded unpleasant suddenly sounded from the side.

"Oh, it's Arthur Weasley, what? The Ministry of Magic gave you a salary increase? So you can replace your children with new textbooks?"
