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

Chapter 231

"To be honest, if Dumbledore hadn't invited me, I wouldn't have really wanted to come, but there are indeed some things that require me to come here."

Moody said gruffly.

He walked into the auditorium with Sherlock, and it was already lunch time. Although the students hadn't arrived yet, the house-elves still prepared lunch for the professors who returned to school.

Of course, not all professors choose to eat lunch in the auditorium, and the old nerd like Snape didn't come.

Sherlock and Moody sat at the long table together, and a few professors who were familiar with him greeted him a few times. After all the food appeared on the table out of thin air, Sherlock took a look at the people, asked strangely.

"Professor Victor hasn't returned to the castle yet?"

Settima Victor, the professor of Arithmetic and Divination, is a witch with a somewhat rigid personality and is very proficient in mathematics. Sherlock has a good relationship with her, because they discuss some Muggle mathematics knowledge together in the classroom lounge.

The professor of Muggle Studies, Caredy Bubbaji, who usually had the best relationship with Victor at the dinner table, said regretfully.

"She submitted the resignation report to Dumbledore after the end of the last semester, saying that she was tired of staying in the castle and wanted to go out for a walk. In fact, I knew that she fell in love with a traveler, and the two went around the world together. traveled the world."

Sinistra, the astronomy professor who is a dark witch, exclaims.

"She told me that 12 is her love number, and she should be the love she met during last year's Christmas holiday."

Soon they were talking about "the stars, the constellations, the love months" and so on, and Sherlock had no interest in these topics and did not participate in them.

He and Victor are just ordinary friends, and he doesn't have much regret or regret about her resignation. After all, he is going to seek love.

But this incident reminded him of Moody's current status in Hogwarts.

"Senior Moody came to the castle to replace the professor of arithmetic and divination?"

When Sherlock asked this question, he was a little hesitant, because Moody didn't look like he could teach the advanced magic course of divination, and it was almost as good to let him take his place to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Moody waved his hand, shook his head and said.

"When I was in school, I didn't take the subject of arithmetic and divination at all. I had a headache when I saw those numbers. If I were to be the professor of this course, no matter what Dumbledore said, I would not agree. Listen to Dumbledore Lido said that he has specially set up a new position for me, called the Castle Watcher, which is specially prepared for the event that will be held this year."

Sherlock can understand what the so-called castle guard is after a simple thought.

Castle Warden = Hogwarts Security.

Dumbledore specially invited Moody to come over to ensure the safety of the campus for the Triwizard Tournament.

This Sherlock alone felt something different, obviously Dumbledore knew something.

In the afternoon, the weather outside the castle began to turn gloomy, and soon raindrops fell from the sky, dripping on the mottled stone facade.

Sherlock stood in front of his office window, holding a cup of black tea in his hand, and was leisurely looking at the rainwater that was gradually getting heavier outside the window. He was not thinking about anything else, but was thinking that Silk might have come to her now. work place now.

The little girl didn't tell him the whole summer vacation, what kind of job she found, she kept it a secret.

Sherlock wasn't too worried about her safety. After all, he had been a silent man before, and his overall strength was definitely higher than most wizards in the magic world.

The main reason is that her personality is a little uneasy. Sherlock is afraid that she will not be able to make friends, and eventually becomes more and more withdrawn.

But with things like socializing, Sherlock can't help her, so she can only think about it here.

After finishing the tea in the cup, he sat down and continued to prepare the lesson plans for the new school. No matter what happened to him, being a professor was his primary job.

In the evening when he was busy, he estimated that the time was almost up, so he got up and left the office and walked towards the auditorium.

When he just walked into the auditorium, a large group of drenched young wizards also happened to rush from the gate of Hogwarts all the way into the castle.

It was raining heavily outside, and the students above the second grade were drenched enough. As soon as the senior students entered, they began to use spells to dry their wet clothes.

The students also discovered Sherlock, and many students who were promoted to the sixth grade excitedly surrounded him and expressed their gratitude to him.

"My parents were very happy, because my defense against the dark arts grade test certificate was unexpectedly an E, they told almost all relatives about it during the summer vacation, and bought me a suit New robes."

"March has already graduated, but he also asked me to find you at the beginning of the summer vacation to express his thanks. He was successfully recruited by the Auror Command, and he is currently undergoing Auror training before entering the job. He said, "Wait After the training, he must personally return to the castle to thank you."

"My mother told me to say thank you, Professor Forrest. Originally, I could only get an E in Defense Against the Dark Arts, but now I get an O. She thinks it's because of you."

The last student to speak was Cedric Diggory from Hufflepuff College. Sherlock had a deep impression on him. This student could be said to be the most talented student in his senior year.

"Thank you for your own efforts, but don't relax even though there will be no key exams in the sixth grade. The ultimate wizard level exam will require you to spend two years preparing for it."

A group of students around nodded in agreement, and the success of the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination made them all very motivated.

Harry came in from behind and the three of them also saw Sherlock, but at that time he was surrounded by senior students.

Harry and the others originally wanted to ask about what happened in the World Cup finals, but they couldn't squeeze in for a long time, so they had to go back to the auditorium first.

After the students were all seated in the auditorium, the first-year freshmen who crossed the lake and entered the castle also lined up and walked in.

They all looked more like drowned chickens, and one of them was an excited little boy who had obviously fallen into the lake and was soaked from head to toe, wearing Hagrid's moleskin coat.

The whole auditorium became lively, the students were chatting about interesting things during the summer vacation, and the professors were also chatting

Sherlock was chatting with Moody about the changes in the Auror Command in recent years, and when he decided that the student who fell into the lake would most likely be assigned to Gryffindor, someone suddenly sat beside him.

The breath brought by the man when he sat down made him feel obviously familiar, he froze for a moment, then turned around abruptly.

The girl who had to help her smile when she was a child waved lightly at him with a bright smile on her face.
