Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts

#129 - The Lion King and the Savior

When Dumbledore clearly announced the name Sherlock Holmes in a loud voice, the entire hall seemed to be frozen by an invisible magic.

The originally lively and noisy atmosphere vanished in an instant, as if a Silencing Charm had been cast.

Without Dumbledore needing to emphasize, the celebrating actions of the people came to an abrupt halt.

All eyes focused on Dumbledore, filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Dumbledore straightened his back and said in a passionate tone:

"He successfully made up for the mistakes I personally made before with his extraordinary reasoning ability.

He fought side by side with other students to fight against Professor Quirrell... uh, now it seems, it may no longer be appropriate to call him that..."

"In short, under the guidance of classmate Sherlock, the Philosopher's Stone was safe and sound, and the evil person received due punishment.

Let us add fifty points to this brave little lion king together!"

"ε“— β€” β€” !"

Cheers, screams, and applause intertwined, and the hall was once again submerged in a surge of sound.

Sherlock turned his head to Snape at the first moment.

Sure enough, this professor was glaring at Dumbledore fiercely at this moment, as if he would transform into a poisonous snake and bite him in the next moment.

Unfortunately, he couldn't bite.

Compared to Snape's anger, the cheers in the hall could be said to be deafening.

Lion King Sherlock!

Since Dumbledore affirmed it so much, this is equivalent to the official recognition of this glorious title.

In addition, the superposition of three consecutive fifty points made the Gryffindor little lions excited and blood boiled, and many people even shouted their voices hoarse, but they still enjoyed it.

In this situation, some little lions had already secretly taken paper and pens to calculate the result:

299+50 + 50+50 = 449 points.

Gryffindor's score rose sharply like a rocket, and suddenly jumped to second place, only 46 points behind Slytherin, which ranked first.

Although it seemed that there was still a distance, the little lions were not flustered at all, but full of confidence and expectation.

At this moment, everyone's eyes in the audience seemed to be attracted by a powerful magnetic force, and they all turned to Harry.

This made him enjoy the treatment of being the center of attention again and again.

Ron's face had already recovered, and his eyes revealed excitement and anticipation.

Hermione raised her head, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a trace of relief.

Even Sherlock, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but smile at this moment:

"My dear Harry, now it's your turn."

Oliver Wood, who had been unhappy because of the Quidditch game loss, was even more excited and his face flushed.

He couldn't help but shout out loudly:

"It's time!"

"This important moment.", said Fred Weasley.

"The moment we have all been waiting for.", said George Weasley.

This time, not only Wood, no one let the Weasley twins shut up.

All the little lions' eyes were shining β€” they were already close to the House Cup championship.

Unless something unexpected happened.

Dumbledore did not deliberately create suspense, but simply announced:

"Harry Potter, he showed great fearlessness and extraordinary courage, for this, I will also reward Gryffindor House with fifty points."

Different from Sherlock, Hermione, and Ron, Dumbledore did not say what Harry did specifically, but directly used "great fearlessness and extraordinary courage" to summarize it.

This is also normal, after all, Voldemort's matter has not been made public, so this black pot can only be silently carried by Quirrell alone.

"Lion King!"

"Savior!"

"Lion King!"

"Savior!"

"Lion King and Savior!"

"Lion King and Savior!"

The shouts became louder and louder, more and more neat, as if to break through the roof of the hall and rush into the sky.

If someone was standing outside the hall at this moment, they might have thought there was an explosion here.

Especially the Gryffindor table, the wave of cheers was higher than the wave.

Even Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were cheering loudly for the little lions.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron, the three people involved, stood up.

Only Sherlock sat in place, as steady as an old dog.

But he soon couldn't hold on, because the fanatical little lions swarmed up and hugged him tightly.

The four were quickly drowned in the excited crowd.

In stark contrast to the jubilant Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff, almost everyone at the Slytherin table had a gloomy face.

How high-profile they were just now, how low they are now.

Triumph has long disappeared, replaced by endless frustration and annoyance.

Especially the first-year students, each of them was shocked and panicked, completely with a dead mom face that had been hit by a full-body binding curse.

Only a few people, such as the prefect Gemma Farley, who had not been arrogant just now, still maintained their previous calm appearance.

It can be regarded as barely maintaining some face for Slytherin.

In short, after Dumbledore used his principal's authority to add a full two hundred points to Gryffindor, Gryffindor suddenly changed from the bottom one to the positive one.

This is not over yet.

"This means..."

Even Dumbledore had to cast a Sonorus charm on himself to suppress the huge cheers.

His loud voice spread throughout the hall: "...we need to make some small changes to the decorations here."

The next moment, as he waved his wand, the decorations in the entire hall changed in an instant.

The green and silver streamers instantly turned red and gold.

The huge Slytherin snake disappeared, replaced by a majestic Gryffindor lion.

The students of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff gathered together excitedly, cheering loudly and dancing.

For them, it was definitely a welcome thing for Slytherin, who was about to win seven consecutive championships, to encounter such a dramatic reversal at a critical moment.

The little lions, little eagles, and little badgers released their inner joy and excitement to the fullest, as if to vent all the depressed emotions that had been suppressed by Slytherin for many years.

Sherlock, who didn't care much about these things, also laughed.

How should I put it?

Compared to green and silver, red and gold are indeed more beautiful.

He looked at Professor Snape again and found that Professor Snape was shaking hands with Professor McGonagall.

Compared to Professor McGonagall, who showed a sincere smile, the smile on Professor Snape's face inevitably seemed a little awkward.

But now no one will care about these anymore.

People sang, danced, and made noise to their heart's content, making the hall a sea of ​​joy.

Especially the Gryffindor students, Dumbledore's last-minute operation directly turned the graduation ceremony into a carnival for the little lions.

The seventh-grade students were particularly excited.

For them, this was the last large-scale collective activity at Hogwarts.

Although some students might be busy with graduation exams, job hunting, or other personal matters, most of them didn't hesitate to take the time to attend the ceremony.

This was because they knew very well in their hearts that this would be their last chance to leave complete and beautiful memories at Hogwarts, and they didn't want to leave any regrets in their campus life.

And they weren't disappointed.

After enduring six consecutive years of being suppressed by Slytherin, they were finally able to hold their heads high at the last moment of leaving school and truly experience the feeling of liberated serfs singing.

With their departure, the story of the "Lion King and the Savior" quickly spread throughout the Hogwarts alumni circle.

The seventh-year students who couldn't attend the graduation ceremony felt regretful upon hearing the news.

However, what's done is done, and there's nothing to say.

Life had to go on, and they could only devote themselves to their careers and lives with blessings for the two young wizards.

Not long after the end of the graduation ceremony banquet, the end-of-term exam results were also announced.

The latest chapters are first published at * * *!

Without any suspense, Hermione took first place in the grade.

Harry and Ron also passed the exam with very high scores, and the result of being ranked at the top of the grade surprised them both.

They had both originally thought that they would stumble in one or two courses.

Seamus and Dean, who were usually close to them, also performed passably.

Only Neville barely managed to pass.

This was mainly because he lost a lot of points in Potions.

However, his excellent Herbology grades made up for this shortcoming.

But the most surprising thing was Sherlock.

His scores in Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, and Herbology were all "O" (Outstanding), excellent.

If it were just like this, it would be fine, after all, all of Hermione's course scores were "O".

But.

According to rumors circulating among the students, Sherlock's scores in these courses were even higher than Hermione's.

As everyone knows, rumors are often more reliable than official news.

This was very exaggerated.

Other courses were hard to say, but Professor Flitwick had secretly told Hermione that she had scored one hundred and twelve points (A hundred and twelve percent) in the Charms exam.

Those twelve points were obtained as bonus points.

Looking at it this way, Hermione's scores in other courses wouldn't be too bad either.

But now Sherlock was even stronger than her?

Wouldn't that mean that he was like this in every course?

Simply terrifying!

But then again, although Sherlock's performance in these courses was so exaggerated, he only received an "A" (Acceptable) in Defense Against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, and Astronomy.

Just barely passing.

The precise scores seemed to have been calculated in advance.

Because of this, his ranking fell behind Hermione.

But just by relying on those courses where he got "O", his overall score was still among the top in the grade.

This also made the professors at Hogwarts feel very regretful.

The professors in charge of these courses even wanted to talk to Sherlock specifically, asking if they didn't teach well, or what other reason caused Sherlock to be so unbalanced in his subjects.

However, they were stopped by Dumbledore, who gave a sincere suggestion:

"My suggestion is it's best not to goβ€”if you don't want to get angry."

Of course, Professor Quirrell, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, didn't need to be persuaded.

Because he had already left and would never return.

The professors listened to the advice and didn't go to Sherlock again.

At this point, the 1991-1992 school year finally came to an end.

Even the Lion King and the Savior had to return to the world without magic at this time.

On the last day of school.

[Magic is not allowed to be used during the holidays]

"I always hoped they'd forget to give this to us."

Fred, one of the Weasley twins, said with regret, holding the notice that had just been handed out.

"Even if they forgot, Percy would stop us from doing thatβ€”don't forget, he's a prefect... Ouch!"

Just as the two were unscrupulously badmouthing him, Percy appeared out of nowhere and kicked George to the ground.

"I'm not only a prefect, but also your brother!"

After saying this, he lowered his head and looked at the prefect badge on his chest, finding that it had become even brighter.

Watching Percy hold his head high, stride forward, and walk away, George sat on the ground, rubbing his butt, and complained:

"I don't know what's going on, but this guy is becoming more and more like the old bat, showing up out of nowhere every day..."

Fred reached out and pulled his good brother up: "It's okay, summer vacation is long, you have plenty of time."

The British summer vacation is different from the winter vacation, lasting from June to September, so it seems particularly long.

When they get home, with the twins' penchant for causing trouble, they can always find opportunities to deal with Percy.

What if he's an older brother?

What if he's a prefect?

I'll beat up my brother (prefect)!

The two brothers looked at each other, a sly glint flashing in their eyes.

Harry and Ron were nearby and couldn't help but laugh at the scene.

Not far away, Neville was holding Sherlock's hand, tearfully saying:

"Sherlock, Trevor is missing again, you have to help me!"

"Neville, how many times is this..."

Before Sherlock could speak, Hermione couldn't help but cover her face: "Every time you come crying to Sherlock, as if he took your toad away."

"But, but... Only Sherlock in the whole school can help me find Trevor."

Neville drooped his head, his voice tinged with a sob.

Hermione: (╬◣д◒)β€œ

"Yes, yes, after all, he's Hogwarts' great detective Sherlock Holmes!"

Looking at Neville's aggrieved face, Hermione looked at Sherlock with a helpless expression, "Detective, where is Neville's toad this time?"

Sherlock sized Neville up, directly entering the questioning phase: "When did you notice the toad was missing this time?"

"It was still by my side when the exam results came out before..." Neville recalled as he stammered.

Sherlock nodded, just as he was about to start the procedure as usual, a clear voice of a girl suddenly came from not far away:

"Hey, Granger!"

Hermione turned her head to look and saw her roommate Parvati Patil and her twin sister Padma Patil from Ravenclaw.

The pair of beautiful sisters were holding hands, walking shoulder to shoulder towards them.

"Granger, I heard Mr. Longbottom's toad is missing?"

Parvati Patil said while glancing at the anxious Neville aside.

"Looking at this situation, is he planning to ask Mr. Holmes to help?"

Hermione nodded helplessly. What can she say?

She had already become numb to the matter of Neville losing his toad.

Padma Patil's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she immediately raised her hand high:

"Look!"
