Harry of the Sherlock Holmes

Chapter 50 Behind the Book 1

For the publication of "Lockhart's" new book "Top of the World", Harry had great concerns at the beginning: You know, considering Voldemort's consistent extreme pure-blood ideas, this book introduces "truly outstanding" It is not difficult to guess the content of the books of "Wizard World".This is probably a book full of prejudice, trying to promote the excellence of pure-blood wizards, and hoping to expel or even kill Muggles and half-blood wizards.He inevitably thought of Adolf Hitler, the leader of the German Nazi Party, the core figure of the Second World War and genocidal policy, which he had learned in elementary school history class. He also wrote about himself in the book "Mein Kampf" Experience and "purebredism".The head of state led his SS army and killed an unknown number of innocent people. The Nazi concentration camp became the darkest place in the world.And no matter how incompetent Lockhart may appear in school, his first few works are very well written, and he has gained a large number of fans because of it.To this day, Harry still has a headache remembering the frenzied crowd at Lockhart's signing in Diagon Alley.And when a person falls into a crazy obsession, it is difficult to listen to the opinions of others, unless they see it with their own eyes or suffer a major blow, it is also difficult for them to change the crowd's inherent impression of Lockhart. This move by "Lockhart" has greatly promoted his own ideas and established a public opinion foundation, but at the same time, it can also obtain powerful armed forces through fans.

But after reading the contents of the book, Harry realized that such worries were absolutely unnecessary.Perhaps it was to ensure that no flaws would be exposed under the surveillance of other people in Hogwarts, or perhaps it was because the power accumulated by itself was not strong enough, this piece of Voldemort's soul did not seem to have control over Lockhart's body, but more like It’s a bit fused with him——Voldemort didn’t get rid of Lockhart’s narcissism and his exaggerated writing style. This book, which aims to promote the noble theory of pure blood, is mixed with a lot of exclamations. All kinds of gorgeous modifiers and boasting of self-merit and taste.In short, the book "Top of the World" is not so much about how to make a wizard have great power and how to establish a more perfect wizarding world, it is better to say that it is a book that introduces the taste, dress etiquette, etc. fashion magazine.Lockhart wrote an extremist treatise to such an effect, making Harry very relieved and at the same time feeling dumbfounded—how obsessed is Lockhart with promoting himself? Can it overpower Voldemort's pure-blood thoughts?

"Voldemort... really unlucky." Harry said to his father with a look of regret, while taking out two droppers from the shelf, watching the solution inside drip down and burn holes of varying degrees on the paper .John smiled and watched his son messing about. He had just arranged the test tube racks for the two father and son who loved to toss, and he knew that the test tubes contained several types of super acids known in the world.

"Even without the interference of Lockhart's thinking that always wants to highlight himself, Voldemort's book will not be able to play the role you said in promoting ideas." Sherlock sneered from the side, he was holding Take another book and do a comparative experiment on the toughness of paper fibers from the magical and Muggle worlds.These books that Sirius originally purchased in bulk to keep abreast of the enemy's situation have been changed to other uses recently.

"Why do you say that?" Harry asked curiously.

"Hitler's ideas were quickly accepted by people because of the collapse of the economy at the time. People needed something to divert their attention and eliminate their negativity. Now, most wizards still let their minds sink. In a comfortable environment, let alone wars and revolutions, they can’t stand the introduction of even a little bit of new things.”

"I really should thank the group of criminals who committed crimes in the name of the Nazis." John complained about the practical knowledge that Sherlock rarely involved unless he served the case.He immediately retorted, "But most of the time, people don't need to have self-awareness. They just follow the leader's footsteps. Once they are incited, things are really difficult to solve." As a former war veteran He knows very well that in many cases the people can be completely controlled, and once guided, various emotions will explode like explosions, and this is the moment for the superiors to use these emotions to achieve their goals.

Sherlock pulled his face back and gave him an exaggerated expression: "I can find the important knowledge you care about through the Internet or various materials at any time, John. You also said that they need leaders. The current wizarding world How many are eligible?" Voldemort's power is still shady, and he can openly call on the crowd to deal with that stupid Minister of Magic, that is, Dumbledore, who has a sweet tooth like Mycroft's fat man, none of them May make him wish. "There is no voice in the mainstream of society. Even if some people are really bewitched, they will be forced to hide and waver. It is impossible to set off a frenzy like the Nazis all at once."

"But Father," Harry tilted his head, still not quite understanding, "when Uncle Mike said that Lockhart's book made the situation more complicated, you didn't object." This is quite unusual. He knew that his father would fight with his uncle even if he had nothing to do, but when he had a different opinion, he didn't raise any objections?Was it in front of Draco's father?When did the people in their family care about the image before others?

"Heh——" Sherlock took out a knife and scratched back and forth on the pages of the book, making a creaking sound, "Mycroft didn't mean that, if it was just the effect of public opinion, that control freak might end up playing the game himself. One play. What the fat man is worried about is that Lockhart's actions will trigger the reaction of several other soul slices. They can be said to be the people who know the thoughts conveyed in the book best. Even after Lockhart's transformation, they're 'It is not difficult to see the intention of 'myself'. They will definitely respond to this matter. If several parties act together, it will be difficult for us to distinguish the specific threat from which party."

"Ah, it's no wonder that our smart and wise world's number one consulting detective was so rare and quiet during the initial discussion. He only asked one question, which was quite polite." John laughed at Sherlock, but there was still a hint of worry in his eyes. .Although he can't keep up with the Holmes brothers most of the time, he understands Sherlock well enough - he can easily distinguish the moment when the intelligent brain is running at high speed, and Sherlock's silence is only because he looks at it. Everything in my life was analyzed and disassembled to calm down my restless mood.The secrets in Lucius Malfoy's study may have been read before he realized it, and Sherlock said that there is no need to express concerns for the public, so the only thing that bothers him is that other things The response to the soul slices being activated was not so much the effect on Harry that so many soul slices were active at the same time.After all, they are not wizards, and no matter how much theoretical knowledge they have, they are still not sure what variables will appear.

Under John's stare, Sherlock got the confetti all over the place, and turned to his son: "When the Dark Lord cut his own soul, his small head must have been cut off too, and a lot of it fell off. , just a few stupid wizards who don't know how to turn are still following him. Stop thinking about it here, go back and unwrap your presents, your stupid godfather's cute little Harry is worried that so many things have not been unwrapped I have specially prepared a gift" The cry seriously disturbed my thinking. "

It's not that Harry didn't realize that this was a way for his father to divert his attention, but the elders wanted him to be happy, so he naturally had to be happy, which might be what he could do in such a chaotic moment. The best return ever.

But those gifts did bring him a good mood: perhaps thinking that Voldemort has been lingering around Harry recently, most people choose some gifts that can bring people a sense of relaxation and happiness, Sirius and Lyme One gave a set of magical architectural models, and the other chose a puzzle with patterns that could be changed at will; Papa John’s gift was a pillow that could help sleep; Hermione still chose chocolate; How happy would it be to know that they both had the same kind of pastry among their gifts (both tasted good, Harry commented with puffed cheeks); while Father Hui and Uncle seemed to be the kind who would never be moved by the atmosphere of the outside world. People, Harry was not surprised to read the dissertation report of "77 Contact Details of the Palm and the Weapon Holder" (Sherlock further perfected it after observing a large number of wizards) and "One Hundred Laws of Controlling Public Opinion". tutorial.

He carefully organized these gifts, thinking that he must not always make his family members worry about him.A note just fell out of a thin envelope that he didn't notice.Harry froze for a moment, another mysterious gift from the headmaster?He had just seen the Duke of Bees gift set and the card with Dumbledore's name on it, who wrote it?The list of those acquainted classmates who might give Christmas gifts flashed in Harry's mind, and then he secretly laughed at himself—what's the reasoning for this, if you just unfold the paper, you can't tell whose it belongs to?

Neither the envelope nor the note was signed, and Harry couldn't make out whose handwriting it was.He just stared at the seven letters on the paper for a long time, then silently crumpled the paper into a ball, and then burned it under the candle flame.
