Harry of the Sherlock Holmes

Harry's life at school is good, but it would be better if there weren't so many people paying attention to him.Ron was shocked at the idea at first, as a relatively underappreciated kid in his family, he thought it was a good thing to be famous.Of course, after Harry dragged him along a few times to face the curious crowd, he changed his mind: "That sucks, how could they do that, it's causing so much trouble in Harry's life. "

"That's right." Harry nodded, moved by his friend's understanding, but that wasn't his focus.He was wondering when he would be able to take another look at the painting in photo No. 17.

Hogwarts Castle is more magical than Harry imagined. It has 140 stairs (on the bright side), some are wide and big; some are narrow, small and rickety, and some pass through at different times to different places.The doors of the castle are also very personal, you have to be polite to them, or find the right place, and they will open the door for you.There are also many solid walls that appear to be doors, but are not really doors.Harry is intrigued by those "false doors", considering that everything in the castle seems to be in constant movement of its own consciousness: armor walks, portraits visit each other.These "false doors" that cannot be opened seem to be able to hide more.

The painting was hanging right next to a "false door" and Harry had seen it while scouting or scurrying around.Earlier he took photos only because the feeling of the painting did not match the surroundings - there were no people in the painting, just a warm and comfortable room with a solid and functional but gorgeous coffee table, on which With a set of exquisite tea sets, the room is illuminated by soft and warm candle light, and other decorations in the room all show the owner's good taste.But this painting hangs in a corner, on an overly solemn and somewhat gloomy "false door".However, he didn't see anything more, he thought that the owner of that portrait should be a person who loves life very much, and he just went to visit other portraits.

After receiving the letter from home, Harry and Hermione (1) discuss more.They began to think that Sherlock and Mycroft had made a big mistake, because since the people in these portraits can move, and even read the books in the portraits (2), it is obviously possible for him to move the candlesticks in the portraits.But soon, they realized something was wrong: there was only a little trace of the candle, and the decoration in the painting showed that it was clearly old.Was the inappropriateness in this painting painted from the beginning, or did it imply that the owner of the portrait has not returned for a long time?

"Harry, Harry!" The studious little witch came towards him with a heavy schoolbag on her back, "Potions class is about to start, you know the priority, right?"

"Yes Yes."

Among the courses they have taken, herbal medicine and spells are very interesting. Professor McGonagall's transfiguration class surprised them even more—she turned the desk into a pig.This aroused Harry's greater enthusiasm for learning, and he carefully observed every subtle movement of Professor McGonagall (no one at home could show him).In the exercises he did so well that in addition to the matches turning into needles, he conjured the holes of the pins.Hermione's grades were also good, and Professor McGonagall showed a rare smile at their performance.

Astronomy and History of Magic are far more boring by comparison, and Harry admits that the stars are beautiful, but he doesn't intend to devote more energy to him until he sees a use for learning them (as long as A (pass) That's fine); in History of Magic class, he simply pulled out other books to read.The library at Hogwarts made him very happy.

And the defense against the dark arts that the whole class is really looking forward to is a big joke. The classroom where Professor Quirrell is teaching is full of garlic that is said to prevent vampire attacks.And there was a strange smell coming from the scarf he used to cover his head. He didn't agree with the Weasley twins' statement that it was also stuffed with garlic. Harry felt that smell was more similar to what he had been at the crime scene smelled in.He used great self-control to control himself, and he promised his fathers that he would not put himself in dangerous situations out of curiosity.

Potions classes are held in an underground classroom.It's colder here than the castle keep above.Along the walls are glass jars filled with stuffed animals that will make you shiver even more.And Snape himself was more intimidating than the terrifying potions classroom.He scanned the class with dark and indifferent eyes, paused for a moment on Harry (he did the same during the roll call, but did not make any comments), and then said: "Why are you here?" To learn the delicate science and exacting craft of potion-making." He spoke barely above a whisper, but everyone caught his every word.Like Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape has the intimidating power to bring order to the classroom with little effort. "Many of you won't believe it's magic, as there's no foolish wand waving here. I don't expect you to really appreciate the beauty of that simmering cauldron with its white smoke and fragrance, You don't really understand the liquid that flows into people's veins, the magic that makes people's hearts sway and their minds bewildered. I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death-but only one thing, that is, you are not me often The kind of stupid fools you encounter will do."

The whole class was silent for a while, and none of them admitted that they were "stupid fools", but in front of this strict professor, all behaviors of fishing in troubled waters were undoubtedly asking for a dead end.

Harry was the one who received extra attention. Although he was not bad at previewing and making textbooks, Snape still found all kinds of problems for him.

"Is it enough to just explain the result? As I said, potion is a precise science, you must pay attention to the precise ratio!" And his question was just asking "the product of adding narcissus root powder to wormwood infusion."

"Your posture! The scabies potion is a basic potion, and it doesn't take long to brew, but are you going to use this 'funny' posture to make every potion with difficulty?"

Harry was also blamed for the explosion of Neville's cauldron: "Potter, why didn't you tell him not to add porcupine quills? Do you think he made a mistake to show you?"

……

When get out of class was over, almost everyone breathed a sigh of relief for Harry.Draco Malfoy came over, and he and Harry had handled it well during this week's relationship. "Well, maybe the professor just wants you not to be proud of your fame."

"What! That old bastard just wanted to see Harry make a fool of himself." Ron yelled from the sidelines, as he and Draco still quarreled whenever they met.

"Go away!" said Harry suddenly.

The quarreling boys looked at him.

"do not speak!"

"We didn't talk." The boys panicked. Harry couldn't be too excited to go crazy.

"Get out of my mind palace, your loud voices are lowering the IQ of the whole of London."

Ron almost screamed, Draco turned even paler, and Hermione burst out laughing, "Oh, Harry, you can't do that."

"My father talks to people like that a lot." Harry spread his hands, "I think I'm fine with Professor Snape." And he did know why Snape was targeting him.

"Merlin's stockings, your father... who the hell is he." Draco once again thought about Harry's living environment, was he really not abused?

"He's an amazing person." Harry smiled, and then pointed out the problem that others hadn't noticed, "Professor Snape just reprimanded me, and didn't deduct points."

"If you are dissatisfied with this, Gryffindor will deduct a share." Snape's voice came suddenly, startling everyone.

But he just threw a thick parchment to Harry: "If your guardian is really smart enough to know that he has a problem, he can contact me directly without passing it through the principal!" Then he turned around and walked away aggressively .

"Oh, the professor is really nice to you." Draco stared blankly at Harry, he couldn't even talk about the professor behind his back without being locked up, and Harry was only deducted one point , he's still a Gryffindor! "But isn't your father a Muggle? Why would he discuss issues with the professor?"

"As I said, he's an amazing man."
