【British and American】My miserable life studying abroad

Wei Shengling was stunned for a moment, she tilted her head and looked at Sherlock, "Don't you want to explore more?"

"No need," Sherlock replied, "I find that I have rarely done anything stupid... The past few years that we have known each other have not been entirely adventures. In those daily lives, haven't I accepted another side of you?"

"No, even if it's a boring, ordinary life, I never get bored when I'm with you."

"It has never been necessary. I just can't turn around."

Wei Shengling held his forehead.

Okay, now the pressure is on her, right? Sherlock confirmed that she hadn't confirmed it yet.

"Don't worry, Ling." Sherlock pulled her forward. "We have a lot of time and many adventures."

"There's no need to rush."

Coming to the Room of Requirement, they each took a book and looked for relevant information. Can the souls separated in the Horcrux return to their original bodies? If so, what is the method, what steps are required, what are the weaknesses, and what are the consequences?

These books only have some vague records, and people have only a superficial understanding of the mystery of the soul.

"Advanced Dark Arts Revealed," Watson picked up the book in his hand, "This should be the book that taught Voldemort how to create Horcruxes."

The name did sound familiar. Wei Shengling nodded and continued to capture the information they needed from their respective books. After finishing this book, the others would take turns to ensure that no information was missed.

"Once the soul is damaged, it is difficult to heal," Snape read out this paragraph, "especially after the soul is torn apart... It is extremely difficult to absorb this part back. Even if it succeeds, it will leave indelible marks. That place will be particularly fragile..."

"It seems that's the shortcoming," Sherlock put down his book, which he read very quickly and had already finished.

After a night, they still didn't find much useful stuff here.

"Maybe we should try a different approach." Sherlock crossed his arms and thought, "Other books may have clues."

"I don't have any specific information right now, but I can speculate based on the existing methods in the wizarding world, which are nothing more than spells, potions, and alchemy."

"Some spells require the aid of exotic materials, such as the resurrection spell that Voldemort used in the Goblet of Fire. The same is true for potions and alchemy."

“It’s a good idea to find out the circulation records of materials, but it’s difficult to implement.”

"As a second choice, we can target some specific people. If Voldemort has successfully fused several soul fragments, he still needs to be nursed back to health... At this time, he needs potions."

"Severus hasn't become famous yet," Wei Shengling continued Sherlock's words, "the wizarding world's potion masters are getting old, and some are missing. The best candidate now is——"

"Horace Slughorn!"

The four of them said in unison.

"Voldemort also learned the concept of Horcruxes from him." Snape said with some excitement. "As long as we keep an eye on Slughorn, we will have a high probability of knowing what potion Voldemort needs!"

“It’s better for the enemy to give us the answer directly than to find it ourselves.” Watson’s eyes lit up. He was a little sleepy after staying up all night, but now he was full of energy.

"Everything will be easy once you have a goal," Sherlock said calmly, "but you need to rest now."

John and Severus were people who could stay up late, but looking at their current condition, continuing to stay up late will only affect their efficiency. Not to mention Wei Shengling. Except for some critical moments when she needs to stay up late, she will give herself buffs, and she rarely stays up late at other times.

"You should go back and rest, Sherlock," Wei Shengling said. Sherlock paused as he picked up the book. "I'm not sleepy yet. You guys go and rest first. I'll see if I can find any clues in the library. I'll go and rest when you wake up."

"Alright."

Wei Shengling did not force him. Sherlock was already used to staying up late or not sleeping for several days in a row, and this habit was not so easy to change.

He quickly fell into a deep sleep. A few hours later, Wei Shengling opened his eyes, washed up, and glanced at the time. It was almost nine o'clock. The breakfast time at Hogwarts would be extended on weekends to half past nine.

There's still time to drag Sherlock to eat something.

Arriving at the library, the familiar figure was still there. "Sherlock, let's go to the auditorium and have some breakfast first."

"I'm not hungry, Ling." He put down the book in his hand. "You woke up so soon? It hasn't even been three hours since you left to rest."

"Deep sleep recovers quickly," Wei Shengling shrugged. She reached out and pulled Sherlock up from the chair. "It won't take too long. You're still a child."

He was dragged to the Great Hall, to... the Hufflepuff table?

"If you remember I'm from Ravenclaw." Sherlock raised his eyebrows and tilted his head. "I remember, but I think if you're alone in Ravenclaw, you'll just eat something to evade me."

Sherlock choked.

The badgers looked at the boy from Ravenclaw curiously and friendly. Someone asked carefully, "Sookie, is he your boyfriend?"

The two people who asked this question were stunned.

Sherlock looked at Wei Shengling. Wei Shengling lowered her eyes and thought carefully. After a while, just when the little badger thought he had asked the wrong question, she smiled.

"That's it."

Sherlock's pupils dilated, and he grabbed Wei Sheng Ling's hand, "Ling...?"

"Keep up the good work, Mr. Holmes," Wei Shengling winked. "Now, it's time to eat."

Just as Sherlock said.

In fact, it has never been necessary.

She had always had a good impression of him. She used to admire his wisdom and appreciate the paper man's intelligence across the dimensional wall. After they really got to know each other, they walked together with caution and unconscious friendliness. Then later, he said "You can call me Sherlock", which meant that he accepted her, and she began to seriously examine this real Sherlock Holmes, and the two became friends.

After dealing with Vought Corporation, bombing Hydra, cooperating against the Celestials, and the East Wind (Euros) incident, she also began to understand another side of Sherlock.

The more you understand, the more three-dimensional it becomes.

But it hadn’t reached that point yet.

just now……

"Just think of it as my affection for you reaching a new level, reaching the point of liking you."

Wei Sheng Ling was unexpectedly honest and frank at this time.

"I like Sherlock Holmes now."

The little badgers who were eavesdropping nearby let out muffled cries of surprise, but neither Sherlock nor Wei Shengling paid any attention to it. The former stretched out his hand and placed it on the table with his palm facing up, while the latter put his hand on Sherlock's.

The two of them placed their palms together with their fingers interlocked.
