Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts

“Mr. Holmes, I really can't thank you enough!”

Hagrid instinctively expressed his gratitude when Sherlock pointed out that there was more than one way to solve the difficulties he faced.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized something seemed off.

“Wait a minute—I haven't said anything yet?!”

What was going on?

He had only asked the owl to send a letter to Sherlock, saying that he had something he wanted to discuss with him.

As for Sherlock, he had just arrived at his hut and had a cup of tea.

How did he know he was in trouble?

Sherlock was also speechless.

If other people's secrets needed to be analyzed and deduced through observation, then Rubeus Hagrid was simply wearing his thoughts on his sleeve.

Not to mention himself, even Hermione—oh, no, it should be Harry... still wrong, it should be Ron.

Ron could get information out of Hagrid's mouth.

Because this person couldn't hide secrets at all.

You're having a headache about how to deal with this dragon egg, I have three solutions:

First, tell Headmaster Dumbledore about this matter, with his ability, he will obviously handle it well;

Second, contact Ron's brother Charlie Weasley, he studies dragons in Romania and can also solve it safely;

Third—"

“Wait, hold on a second!”

Before Sherlock could say the third solution, Hagrid interrupted him again.

He stared at Sherlock with extremely horrified eyes, “Merlin's beard—how, how did you know?”

“What did you say?”

Sherlock raised his eyebrows, “Don't you want to solve the dragon egg problem?”

“I do! But you have to tell me first, how did you know I got a dragon egg, I clearly didn't tell you anything!”

Hagrid's eyes widened like copper bells.

He really couldn't figure out why Sherlock already knew everything when he hadn't said anything.

“Okay...”

Sherlock knew from Hagrid's gaze that he wouldn't calm down if he didn't explain things clearly.

So he had no choice but to repeat these things that seemed obvious to him:

“If you don't want people to know about this, then you should put away these books in the room, at least don't put them in such a conspicuous place.

‘Dragon Species of Great Britain and Ireland,’ ‘From Egg to Inferno,’ ‘Dragon Breeding Guide,’ ‘Breeding Dragons for Recreation and Profit,’ otherwise I think anyone who sees them will find it strange.

Also, all the curtains in the room are drawn, the fire in the fireplace is stronger than in the coldest time, and the temperature in the house has reached an unbearable level.

Of course, the most important thing is that I can see the egg in the fireplace from my angle—as far as I know,

Only dragon eggs need to be hatched in this way.”

When Sherlock finished all of this at an extremely fast speed, Hagrid hadn't even put away those dragon-related books.

Sherlock: ←_←

The scene was once very awkward.

“Okay, I didn't expect you to see through it, amazing, Sherlock!”

Hagrid even changed his address in his excitement.

Sherlock: (ー_ー)

“Okay, what's your third idea?”

Hagrid rubbed his hands together excitedly, “Honestly, I don't think the first two ideas are very good—”

Just looking at his appearance, Sherlock knew that this guy wanted to raise a dragon himself.

However, in the magical world, this is a typical illegal act.

As early as the 1709 Wizarding Assembly, personal breeding of fire dragons was prohibited—Professor Binns mentioned it once in passing during a History of Magic lesson.

“Let's talk about how this dragon egg came about first?”

“Are you also interested in dragon eggs?”

Hagrid suddenly became excited.

“To be precise, I am interested in the person who gave you the dragon egg.”

Hagrid's expression suddenly became puzzled.

“What, is there something wrong with this egg?”

“No, the problem is you,” Sherlock's eyes sparkled, and he put his hands together to support his chin, “Now, tell me in detail about that night.”

When Hagrid heard Sherlock asking about the dragon egg, although he felt very confused, he still very cooperatively told the story of that day.

In short, he went to the Hog's Head Inn in Hogsmeade Village to drink as usual, and happened to meet a stranger who came to him to play cards.

As a result, the other party's card skills were not good, and he lost several Galleons to Hagrid.

The gambler's eyes turned red with losses, and he immediately took out a dragon egg as a bet, but unfortunately, he still lost to Hagrid.

Hagrid didn't say it in detail, but it was enough for Sherlock.

“So you didn't see his appearance clearly.”

“Yes, that guy always refused to take off his cloak.”

Speaking of this, Hagrid couldn't help but smile, “Sherlock, you are too sensitive, there are always some strange guys who patronize the Hog's Head Inn, people like him are not uncommon.”

“That's right, but it's meaningless.”

Sherlock looked at Hagrid and said, “But there are not many people who are full of interest in magical creatures and carry a fire dragon egg with them, and such a person has found you.”

“Uh... Sherlock, can you explain it more clearly?”

Hagrid scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, “You know, I'm not very good at using my brain.”

Sherlock sighed a long sigh, “So... besides the Hound of the Baskervilles, what else did you set up near the Philosopher's Stone?”

“Not a hound, it's Fluffy!”

Hearing Sherlock "slander" his beloved dog, Hagrid first retorted, and then continued:

“Although he looks fierce, I can control him obediently, just play some music for him, and he will fall asleep immediately.

Dumbledore borrowed Fluffy from me, and then asked several other teachers to cast spells:

Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall, Professor Quirrell—of course, Dumbledore himself also cast spells.

Wait, I forgot one person—oh, right, it's Professor Snape.”

Speaking of this, Hagrid's face suddenly showed a look of horror, and he slapped himself hard:

“Why can't I control this mouth!”

Sherlock: (ー_ー)

Why can't you control it, don't you know it in your heart?

To be honest, Sherlock didn't have any sense of satisfaction when facing Hagrid.

He didn't even need to deduce, he told everything clearly himself.

“Hagrid, calm down, Dumbledore has already told me about these things.”

Sherlock said calmly and composedly, “Now it seems that the person who lost the dragon egg to you is Quirrell.”

“How could it be him, he is one of the people who set up the protection of the Philosopher's Stone—”

Obviously, Hagrid did not remember what Sherlock said in the hut last time.

Sherlock was not surprised by this, he was too lazy to say more, and once again pushed the matter to Old Dumbledore.

“I have already confirmed this matter with Dumbledore.”

Hagrid's eyes widened like copper bells again.

What's going on?

He had this feeling last time, and this time the feeling was even stronger.

Why does Dumbledore tell Sherlock everything?

I came first!

“Let's go back to the dragon egg.”

As soon as he heard the dragon egg, Hagrid's attention was immediately attracted, and all the Fluffy, Quirrell, and Philosopher's Stone were thrown behind him.

However, Hagrid was taken aback as soon as Sherlock opened his mouth.

“The third solution is to give the dragon egg to me.

“Give it to you?”

Hagrid looked at Sherlock in confusion, was he abandoned by the times?

No wonder it is said that in the current magical world, a twelve-year-old wizard can handle dangerous creatures like fire dragons?

If this is the case, wouldn't he have lived his life in vain?

“Yes,” a sly glint flashed in Sherlock's eyes, “I happened to see a potion recipe in a forbidden book, which requires the use of dragon eggs.”

“Wait—you, you mean—”

“That's what you think, I want to use dragon eggs to make medicine.”

After saying this, he took another deep look at the dark egg that Hagrid had placed in the fireplace,

Noticing Sherlock's fiery gaze at the dragon egg, Hagrid couldn't help but shudder.

“No, no, this is a life!”

“It's not a life until it's hatched.”

Sherlock waved his hand, “I suggest you consider it carefully, I can pay you some Galleons as a reward...”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Hagrid stood up abruptly, and even the chair was knocked over by him, smashing to the side with a bang.

“I would rather tell Dumbledore that I accidentally said about Fluffy, than let Holmes use it to make medicine!”

He waved his thick arms and said with an excited face.

The title for Sherlock was changed to Holmes again.

“Is that so? That's a pity!”

Sherlock shook his head and said with a look of regret.

Seeing his appearance, Hagrid couldn't help but become more afraid.

What kind of person did Gryffindor recruit this year!

“Pfft, hahahahaha”

In the Gryffindor common room, Ron laughed so hard that he leaned forward and backward, “My hell mother! Sherlock,

You are too bad, you actually used this method to force Hagrid to hand over the dragon egg.”

“I have to say, although it is a bit despicable, it is indeed very effective.” Hermione gave her evaluation of this.

“That's right, fire dragons are too dangerous, even Hagrid can hardly tame them.

Speaking of which, he should really see the burn marks on Charlie's body, which were left by the wild dragons in Romania.”

Harry asked with some worry, “Sherlock, what if Hagrid goes back on his word?”

“No way.”

Sherlock said calmly, “Wizards always like to reconcile and compromise, if you directly let Hagrid send the dragon egg away, he will definitely not allow it.

But if you advocate sending the dragon egg to me to make potions, he will come to reconcile and compromise, and be willing to send the dragon egg away.”

The three little friends looked at Sherlock in surprise, and after thinking about it carefully, they found that this was indeed the case.

“Okay, I'm convinced by you, so what about the Quidditch match with Hufflepuff next? Hermione and I both suggest that Harry not participate—”

“Why not participate?”

Sherlock asked back.

“I heard that Snape unusually wants to be the referee for this game, the gluttonous gargoyle, you know, he has never done this kind of thing before, he is clearly here for Harry!”

Sherlock nodded, “You are right, he is indeed here for Harry.”

Ron, who was recognized by Sherlock, immediately raised his head and chest, and looked at Harry and said confidently:

“What do you think? Now even Sherlock thinks I'm right!

If you want me to say, you should deliberately break your leg and not participate in the competition, right?”

Harry: _α(A)

Buddy, please be a human being!

Sherlock ignored Ron, he turned to Harry and said, “Since there is such a good thing, you only need to consider how to win the game.”

“Huh?”

Ron was shocked on the spot, this, what is this operation?
