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

Chapter 5 The original owner's diary

The first diary entry was written five years ago. According to the fact that Hogwarts only recruits 11-year-old wizards, the schooling period is seven years.

At that time Sherlock should be 15 years old and in the 5th grade.

And the reason why he decided to start writing a diary was because he had just experienced a failed relationship?

Well, judging from the tone of the original owner in the diary, he is indeed a sullen person.

Sherlock continued to flip backwards.

The dates of the diary are not consecutive, about every three days he will write an entry to complain about some trivial things he encountered in school today, and his admiration for Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore.

That's right, it can be seen from the original owner's diary that he has obvious admiration for Dumbledore.

He even stated unabashedly in his words that his future goal is to become a wizard like Dumbledore.

His academic performance also seems to be very good, because Sherlock saw a diary about him getting the first grade report card, which caused many girls from the same school to come to him for advice, which made him feel very bored.

After experiencing a doomed relationship, the original owner seemed to have become an indifferent straight man. Not only was he not interested in facing the opposite sex, but he also defined their enthusiasm for being around him as harassment.

Half of the entire diary records the days when the original owner studied and lived at Hogwarts.

And from his experiences in these student days, Sherlock has basically been able to figure out his character.

He is obviously quite a loner outside, and in the diary about Hogwarts study life, Sherlock didn't see even a description of his friends.

In other words, during the seven years of studying at Hogwarts, he did not get along with a single friend.

As for the girlfriend mentioned in the first diary, he just regarded her as a tool person.

The original owner's greatest hobby is reading books.

As a matter of course, he was a Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts.

In addition to going out to eat, sleep and go to class, he seems to allocate all his time to reading and studying.

Every day is not in the library, or on the way to the library.

Reading and studying seem to be all in his life, and becoming a wizard like Dumbledore is his lifelong pursuit.

Thus, a distinct character image was gradually outlined in Sherlock's mind.

The original owner was tall and handsome, but he always had a face like everyone owed him [-] million.

The tone of speech is blunt, not flattering and polite, not good at dealing with people, and never concealing his likes and dislikes.

To put it simply, his temper is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.

Later, Sherlock found a magical photo pasted behind the last diary of Hogwarts school life.

Above is a group photo of graduates of the same year of his college.

That handsome face is easy to find in a group of people.

He stood in the corner, and all the other students were smiling, but he was the only one with a straight face and frowning, looking very out of place, as if he disliked taking graduation photos as a waste of his time.

Staring at the photo, Sherlock looked in the mirror and tried to imitate the expression on the original owner's face.

It's not that hard to be honest.

He only needs to keep thinking that as long as he shows his feet for a while, he may be caught by Professor McGonagall and taken to Dumbledore to "brainwash" him, and he will naturally show a bitter and hatred expression.

Because except for the first one, the rest of the Harry Potter stories are learned by Sherlock from the short movie commentary video.

So his own impression of Dumbledore all comes from the old and sinister image instilled by those movie commentators.

There are even explanations that add private goods, saying that in fact, all the experiences of Harry Potter when he was studying at Hogwarts were secretly planned by Dumbledore.

This made Sherlock always have some inexplicable defenses and resistances towards Dumbledore.

As long as he thought that if he was discovered, he might be taken to Dumbledore, he would naturally be able to pull his face down and put on a bad face.

As for the tone of voice, it is even simpler. It may be necessary to learn to say good things, but everyone should be able to do it straightforwardly.

Expression and language management had a prepared direction, but Sherlock didn't stop to continue studying the diary.

Of course, this is not due to his voyeuristic desire.

It is because it has only been three years since the original owner graduated from Hogwarts, and the experience of the last three years is undoubtedly more important.

Sure enough, Sherlock had a big "surprise" in the first diary after leaving Hogwarts.

"April 1989, 6."

"It was a frustrating day. Professor Dumbledore rejected my job application. He said that I just graduated from Hogwarts, and my understanding of defensive magic is still only theoretical, and I need more practice. .”

"Although it is disappointing, the professor also recognized my talent very much, saying that in the future, he will definitely give priority to me when considering candidates for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. It is really heartwarming to be recognized by Professor Dumbledore Pleasant thing."

"Well, although I don't think that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors that Hogwarts has invited over the past two years have much better practical ability than me, but Professor Dumbledore's words will not be wrong."

"So, what kind of job should I look for next?"

"Well, if it is to increase practical experience, perhaps becoming an Auror is a very good choice."

Sherlock stared at this diary for a long time. He never imagined that the original owner applied to Dumbledore for the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts when he just graduated.

According to the information channel of the movie commentary, this position was cursed by Voldemort, the ultimate villain in the Harry Potter stories.

All professors who work in this position often have accidents or even die due to various reasons within less than a year.

Fortunately, the original owner's job search experience was not successful, and Dumbledore rejected his request.

Otherwise, it might not be possible for the current Sherlock to cross over, and he would have had an accident.

After being rejected by Dumbledore, the original owner did, as he said, go to the Auror Command under the British Ministry of Magic for an interview.

Relying on his excellent results from the Ultimate Wizarding Test (NEWT) and the accumulation of seven consecutive years of hard work, he easily passed the requirements for Auror recruitment.

It's just that after entering the job, he was not assigned to the Auror's combat department, but because of his solid theoretical knowledge, he became a civilian member of the Auror Command.

This made the original owner very dissatisfied. After several failed applications to transfer to the Combat Department, he stayed in the Ministry of Magic for just over a year and two months before resigning and returning home.

Since then, he has been an otaku at home, concentrating on researching defensive magic.

Until three months ago, he went to Hogwarts again, except for the routine application for the professorship of Defense Against the Dark Arts once a year.

He also applied to join a resistance organization founded by Dumbledore when the power of the mysterious man swept across the entire wizarding world, the Order of the Phoenix.

Sherlock had some impression of the name of this organization, and he vaguely remembered that one of the seven series of Harry Potter was called by this name.

This time, Dumbledore did not give a clear answer to his application, neither agreeing nor refusing.

This disappointed the original owner. He felt that he had not been truly recognized by Dumbledore, and his mood was very depressed for more than a month.

A week ago, he gave up on himself and prepared to try an unfinished and highly dangerous spell experiment, and the diary was interrupted here.

But Sherlock can guess what happened after that.

It must have been an accident in his experiment, which caused him to fly out from the second floor, and finally hit his head when he landed on the ground, which allowed Sherlock to cross over to him.

After reading the entire diary, Sherlock had a deeper impression of the original owner.

This guy is like a problem child who hasn't grown up yet. Apart from his good grades, he has problems all over his body.

No wonder Dumbledore rejected his application for a professorship, even considering joining his own small private society.

Sherlock leaned back in the chair, pinching his chin and thinking quietly.

So the fact that Professor McGonagall made a special trip this time is probably related to the fact that the original owner went to Dumbledore to apply to join the Order of the Phoenix two months ago.

The letter said that things had turned around, that is to say, Dumbledore most likely agreed to his application for membership.

If that was the case, Sherlock couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's okay to join a small club or something. The original owner is a lonely person by nature. As long as he is cautious after joining, he should try his best to deal with the people in it as little as possible. Take the time to get familiar with magic, and there is a high chance of being fooled.

As long as he is not asked to go to Hogwarts to be a professor of labor and capital, everything else is easy to talk about.

Thinking of this, Sherlock immediately felt relaxed.

Besides, it was impossible for him to become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts this year.

It is already July, and the professors for the next semester probably already have candidates.

According to his vague memory, the unlucky guy who became a professor of defense this year seems to be a star wizard, and the original owner, a lonely nerd who doesn't even have friends, obviously can't even touch the hem of a star wizard.
