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

Chapter 9 Physical Memory
Of course, you can despise the enemy strategically, but you must also pay attention to the enemy tactically.

There is still more than a month before the start of the new semester, and Sherlock must get familiar with magic as soon as possible during this time.

He didn't have the confidence that he could improve his level to the level that the original owner was able to be a Hogwarts professor in less than two months.

But at least you must learn the magic commonly used by most wizards, so that you will not be discovered by others in Hogwarts.

As for teaching
In the only first plot that Sherlock is familiar with, Quirrell's teaching method relies entirely on reading textbooks, and no one will find any problems. He will deal with it casually for the time being. The problem shouldn't be too big, right?

There are a lot of magic books in the study room, but most of the books on the bookshelf are advanced magic books, and at Sherlock's current level, he can't understand them.

But soon he found the textbooks used by the original owner when he was studying at Hogwarts from the cabinet under the desk.

There are all from the first grade to the seventh grade, and they have not been resold or abandoned by him.

This is naturally the best thing for Sherlock.

He was sitting in front of the desk, and naturally one of the candles floating in mid-air was always suspended above him, illuminating the space for him.

Those teapots and teacups that looked like living things also consciously poured him a cup of hot tea, and put them aside quietly.

To be honest, the life of a wizard can easily provide happiness to those who have not experienced it.

You don't have to think about any trivial matters at all, and the small objects with magic power will help you solve everything.

Take out all the first-grade textbooks first, and Sherlock only picked out the two books "Standard Spells: Beginner" and "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration", and put other books such as Potions, Herbs and Astronomy. to the side.

Charms and Transfiguration, the two magics commonly used by wizards in daily life, are the most important key for him to learn now.

Potions are not unimportant, but they are of no help to his current situation.

Opening the spelling textbook, the pages looked a bit old, and the corners were obviously wrinkled due to repeated page turning, but the most eye-catching thing on it was the densely packed notes in the blank space.

The original owner's personality is a big problem, but it is also undeniable that he is indeed very talented in magic, and he works very hard.

Just from his spellbook full of notes, it can be seen how eager the original owner, who was only 11 years old at the time, was for magical knowledge.

At the same time, it is convenient for Sherlock today.

The first spell taught in the textbook is Levitation.

This spell is considered the most basic, the easiest to learn, and it is also one of the most frequently used spells by wizards.

The incantation of the spell is: Wingardim Leviosa.

Next to the spell, the original owner specifically noted the key points of the spell that the professor emphasized during the class.

The correct pronunciation is: Yuga-Dim Levi-O-Sa, the sound of Jia must be spoken long and clearly, and the wand in the hand must be waved.

After understanding the key, Sherlock cleared his throat, raised the wand in his hand, aimed at a small piece of paper on the desk, and prepared to try for the first time.

"Wingardim Leviosa."

He spoke the spell, flicking his wand at the paper.

The next moment, that little piece of paper miraculously floated out of nowhere from the table!

Just the first use, and Sherlock's spell worked!

He stared blankly at the pieces of paper floating in front of his eyes.

Being able to successfully use the Levitation Curse once was not because of Sherlock's extraordinary talent.

But when he chanted the spell, his body didn't feel the slightest jerky feeling. It was as if he had practiced and used this floating spell countless times, so he used it naturally.

Sherlock blinked, then cast the spell again on the piece of paper that had fallen back to the desk.

"Wingardim Leviosa."

The result was the same as before, the piece of paper was successfully suspended again.

For him, the process in the middle is as skillful and natural as drinking water and eating.

Afterwards, Sherlock didn't stop, he quickly turned the spell book backwards, and found the next mending spell.

According to the correct pronunciation method and spell-casting gesture recorded in the notes in the book, he read the spell to the torn piece of paper on the desk.

"Restored as before."

In the next second, the torn paper was perfectly restored to its previous appearance, without any damage at all.

Only then did Sherlock's face show joy.

However, he still didn't stop, and continued to try the Ignite Charm, the Locking Charm, and the Softening Charm.

Finally, he encountered obstacles in the most difficult spell to learn in the first grade textbook, the cutting spell.

But to say it was an obstacle, it was just that the first time the spell was not successful.

After Sherlock tried two more times, his body automatically corrected his original wrong pronunciation and gestures, allowing the spell to be released successfully.

Being able to achieve this level has already made him very satisfied.

Sure enough, although he didn't have a golden finger to receive the money after crossing, the heavens didn't let him go to a dead end.

As recorded in the first-grade textbook, these spells that the original owner has mastered long ago have been deeply engraved in his physical memory.

Even if Sherlock himself is very unfamiliar with these spells, as long as he starts to learn to use them, he will master them very quickly.

For example, simple spells such as levitation spells and mending spells can be successfully released even after reading the spells once.

Even if it was a difficult spell, as long as he practiced more, it would not be too much trouble to master it.

With such help, although Sherlock can't quickly reach the same level of magic as the original owner.

But at least it can make him look like an adult wizard who has received seven years of education at Hogwarts.

So, for nearly a month afterwards, Sherlock stayed in this study all day, familiarizing himself with a large number of basic spells every day.

In the middle, Professor McGonagall wrote again, urging him to send her the textbook list for the new semester.

Sherlock then copied the title of the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook used by the original owner in the seventh grade when he was in school, and asked Professor McGonagall's owl to take it back.

It wasn't until this day in mid-August that he had to walk out of the study.

Because there is only half a month before the start of school, he must go to Diagon Alley, a magical street in London, the capital of England, to purchase some items to be used in Hogwarts.

Before that, just entering the Leaky Cauldron Bar in Diagon Alley and where it was located in London was a headache for Sherlock.

Fortunately, in the study, there happened to be an answer recorded in a wizard's travel book.
