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

Chapter 96 The decision not to regret
"People will always experience this, so I have always opposed Kingsley's request to educate you about protection. There is no way for people to experience some things just by saying them. Only when you experience them yourself can you belong himself."

Dumbledore knocked on the table, and a cup of steaming black tea appeared in front of him and Sherlock.

"How do you feel about this change in yourself?"

Sherlock had never been so relaxed in front of Dumbledore, and he drank the warm black tea in his cup in one gulp.

"I feel really good, I've never been more comfortable."

Dumbledore smiled at him.

"I want to hear the details."

Afterwards, Sherlock told them all about their experience this morning, but concealed the matter of finding the "Soul Stitching" created by the original owner's mother, but he took the initiative to ask about the mark on his left arm.

He lifted his sleeves to let Dumbledore see the crescent mark on his arm.

"That's it. The first time I encountered Riddle's diary in the bookstore, it produced a strong burning sensation. Later, when I met Neville who was bewitched by Riddle, so what is this imprint?"

Dumbledore was not surprised by what Sherlock said. He saw the crescent mark on Sherlock's arm, and his eyes were full of memories and nostalgia.

"This is the protection your mother left for you."

"My mother?" Sherlock repeated.

Dumbledore looked solemn.

"It's like the reason why Harry survived Riddle's death curse was not because there was anything special about him, but because his mother used her own life to use a protective spell to protect him Same. You are also a protection left by your mother."

"Love is the most powerful magic, and this imprint is your mother's love for you."

Sherlock silently looked at the crescent mark on his left arm. He didn't expect that it was similar to the lightning scar on Harry's body.

"So even now, you still don't want to tell me what happened to my parents back then, right?"

Dumbledore nodded slightly.

"It's not that I don't want Sherlock, but that we don't want to recall those things, and we don't want you to know them. Of course, if one day you have to know it, someone will tell you."

There was a brief silence in the office, and Dumbledore spoke softly.

"You mean it was Neville who drew the sword from the Sorting Hat in the end?"

Sherlock nodded.

"You planned to have Harry pull it out?"

Dumbledore had a very happy smile on his face.

"No, I just wanted to give it a try. I think it's possible for any of you to pull it out, but I'm most looking forward to you pulling it out."

"Me?" Sherlock pointed at himself in surprise, "Why?"

"Do you know the history of this hat?"

He looked at the sorting hat that was placed in the principal's office again.

Sherlock thought for a moment.

"I have seen records that this hat turned out to be Gryffindor's hat."

"That's right, so the sword is the same."

Sherlock looked in surprise at the cold sword that had been placed in the cabinet at this time.

"This is the sword of Gryffindor."

Dumbledore said softly.

"Only someone with true Gryffindor qualities can pull it out of the sorting hat,"

"But I'm a Ravenclaw?" Sherlock asked puzzled.

said Dumbledore, smiling.

"The choice of the college can't limit the development of a person's quality. I really hope to see the unique qualities of Gryffindor in you. But it's not bad now. I finally decided to recruit you this year. It's my years. The best decision ever made.”

Sherlock listened to Dumbledore's words and thought for a moment.

"Is the rumor about the professorship of Riddle's curse defense class true?"

Dumbledore didn't hide it from him.

"It's true, Riddle did put a curse on this position."

Sherlock stared at him intently.

"So you didn't consider me in the first place, but when you hired Lockhart, you already knew he was a liar?"

Dumbledore did not answer his question directly.

"During last summer vacation, he visited a friend of mine. Only after meeting him did I realize that part of his memory was missing. Afterwards, I investigated and found a famous star wizard in the magic world— — Gilderoy Lockhart, who found out that he was actually a liar, and all his experiences were stolen from other people's brains through the Amnesiac Curse."

"Just at that time, I couldn't recruit a suitable professor candidate for this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, so I tried to contact him. Because I thought that a liar like him would definitely show his true colors when he came to Hogwarts as a professor. It may be more meaningful for the education of students.”

"Lockhart is not a fool. At first I offered him an invitation, but he didn't accept it. It wasn't until I borrowed a little bit of Harry's fame and lured him with the title of teacher of the Savior that he finally couldn't resist it." Huge fame and fortune, promised."

"But later, other than me, someone else discovered his problem. And they also got substantial evidence and sued him to the wizarding court. This forced me to change my plan for this year and choose For you, Sherlock."

Dumbledore blinked.

"I even suspected that you were the one who reported Lockhart behind his back, just to kick him out of the defense professorship."

Sherlock was stunned when he heard his words.

He didn't know if Lockhart's matter had anything to do with the original owner, but hearing what Dumbledore said, it seemed a little possible.

"No matter what happened before, the decision to let you come to Hogwarts did not disappoint me," Dumbledore praised.

"Your probationary period ended early, and you will become the first Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to be re-elected at Hogwarts in decades."

Sherlock didn't ask too much about the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Just like what Slughorn said, this curse is actually not that terrible. Affected by the curse.

He took a deep breath and asked Dumbledore what he was most concerned about after finishing Riddle's diary.

"Riddle's diary is not simple. Although it has been destroyed, there is definitely more than one such thing!"
