Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts
#112 - Heroes don't exist

Facing Dumbledore's fatherly gaze, Severus Snape retorted without any politeness:
"I think you've forgotten one reason—that is, you always believe you can control the situation."
Sherlock laughed when Snape said this.
I have to say, among all the professors at Hogwarts, this unpopular old bat is most to his liking.
Dumbledore is too cunning, McGonagall too strict, Flitwick too clever, and Sprout too simple.
Only Snape can approach both magic and science with a rigorous and serious attitude, and do his job well.
He has his own set of behavioral logic, acting in his own way, never caring about other people's opinions of him.
This can also be seen from the traps he set:
Instead of having the passing wizards brew potions, he arranged a simpler and more brutal method.
Idiots certainly can't do it, because this thing is like mathematics, if you don't know it, you just don't know it.
Ordinary people will definitely scratch their heads and spend some effort.
If Snape was nearby, he would definitely watch coldly and offer a taunt:
"Although I didn't expect you to truly understand the wonderfulness of the simmering pot with white smoke and a fragrant aroma, you are indeed the idiot I often encounter."
Only a guy like Hermione with a clever little brain can make a judgment in a very short time.
As for Sherlock...
When he saw the first sentence on the parchment, "Danger lies before you, safety lies behind, two of us among will help you," he realized what Snape wanted to do.
After reading the entire content, he directly judged the answer, and also deduced other things along the way.
As simple as child's play.
At this moment, Snape suddenly turned his head to look at Sherlock, his fierce gaze as if substantive:
"Holmes, what are you laughing at?"
"I remembered something happy."
"What is it?"
"Voldemort fled in panic."
Snape: (益)
"Severus, next we should consider the follow-up matters."
Dumbledore opened his mouth at the right time, interrupting Snape who was accumulating power.
Also let him painfully lost a chance to deduct points.
Sherlock didn't feel surprised at all, "Not because he is the savior of the wizarding world, but because he is my friend."
"Oh, what a touching great friendship."
Snape seems unable to change his habit of sarcasm, even when Sherlock said this, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.
"Not only that, given your outstanding abilities, I hope you can provide some help when we need it."
When Dumbledore said this, McGonagall and Snape looked at him in surprise.
Is this a formal recognition of Sherlock's ability?
Now that Sherlock's ability is beyond doubt, it is too much to make such a request to a first-year wizard...
However, Sherlock's next words surprised them even more.
"If I really encounter a interesting cases, I will participate even if you don't say it—as long as you can provide me with enough convenience."
"Of course, there is no problem, I can also pay you some remuneration in my personal name."
"No need, as long as I can get pleasure from it, it is the best reward."
Hearing this, Dumbledore laughed heartily: "You are more like a hero than I thought, Sherlock."
"Please don't turn others into heroes, Mr. Dumbledore."
Sherlock's pair of gray eyes stared at Dumbledore intently, and said word by word: "Heroes do not exist, even if they really exist, I am not among them."
As soon as these words were spoken, McGonagall and Snape looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Dumbledore even discovered a problem.
Every time he negotiates with Sherlock for a long time, he can't help but think of that deceased person.
This time is no exception.
That thought appeared in his mind again.
"Gellert, there is a genius here who can surpass you..."
But all in all, it is fortunate that Harry has a friend like Sherlock.
"There is one more thing."
Before ending today's topic, Dumbledore reminded again, "Harry must return to Privet Drive every summer, and stay for at least a month.
That ancient spell needs to be maintained by the power of blood relatives, and Mrs. Dursley is Harry's only relative in this world."
Sherlock glanced at Snape.
"Holmes, put away your rude gaze!"
Even though Sherlock didn't say anything, Snape felt a sense of offense for no reason.
Sherlock retracted his gaze and lightly "tsk"ed.
To be honest, if he hadn't been busy establishing a brand-new worldview when he first started school, he could have figured out Snape's little things in his youth in just one week.
After all, he is a character who can use flower language to express gratitude in the first potions class.
Even without deliberately analyzing it, following Harry to Privet Drive during Christmas, he deduced the whole process.
Of course, Harry's aunt tried her best to hide it, but it was useless in front of Sherlock.
This matter eventually passed like this.
At Professor McGonagall's request, Dumbledore must not eat sweets within a month.
For someone like him, this punishment was already quite severe.
It's worth mentioning that Sherlock had said something to Dumbledore that night in the Forbidden Forest when confronting Quirrell.
If the wizarding world needed a first-year to protect the Sorcerer's Stone, it would be better to destroy it directly.
This was originally Sherlock's sarcasm, but unexpectedly, it came true.
Harry, who had been unconscious for a whole day, woke up to find himself in the hospital.
There were many sweets on the table beside him.
"These are gifts from your friends and admirers."
Dumbledore's smiling face appeared in Harry's surprised vision.
"It's only the first day, I think in two days, there will be a small mountain here."
After confirming from Dumbledore, who came to visit him, that Sherlock and Hermione were safe and sound, Harry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's good that they're okay. He actually fainted at the time, how embarrassing!
However, when he learned that the Sorcerer's Stone had been destroyed, he was stunned.
"Why?"
After asking the question, he immediately felt that his tone was a bit stiff, and quickly changed his words:
The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
"What I mean is... sir, you spent so much effort to protect the Sorcerer's Stone from being taken away by Voldemort, why did you destroy it?"
"Harry, I'm very glad that you can call him Voldemort instead of You-Know-Who or any other name."
Dumbledore, when facing Harry, finally regained the elder's demeanor he had lost when facing Sherlock.
"Always use the correct name for things, the fear of a thing's name will strengthen the fear of the thing itself."
Harry nodded: "Fear comes from the unknown, and the best way to eliminate fear is to face it."
Dumbledore was even happier: "You're right!"
"Sherlock told me this."
Harry said proudly.
"..."
Okay, it seems that even if the person is not here, he can still have an influence.
"I've talked to Nicolas, and we both think this is the best way. You should know Nicolas, right?"
"I know, Mr. Nicolas Flamel is your good friend," Harry said quickly, "But in that case, won't he and his wife..."
"They have stored some elixir of life, enough for them to settle things properly."
"But after these potions are used up, they will still die..."
"Yes, they will die..."
Dumbledore said with some emotion, "I know, for a young man like you, this seems a bit unbelievable.
But for Nicolas and Perenelle, death is actually like going to bed to rest after a long day.
Speaking of which, your good friend Sherlock also gave such advice."
"Sherlock said that too?"
Harry couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Yes, although his intention at the time was to tease me, his proposal did inspire me.
When I told Nicolas about this, he also agreed very much.
For someone with a very clear mind, death is just another great adventure."
"What about Quirrell... Voldemort... what happened to them?"
"I have to say, you were well protected by your friends."
Dumbledore hummed a little tune happily, looking at Harry with a smile and said:
"Neither Quirrell nor Voldemort were able to hurt you.
It can be said that your performance this time far exceeded my expectations.
Before I could take action, they had already fallen."
Hearing this, a warm current surged in Harry's heart.
Although Sherlock's personality is strange, and sometimes he gives people feelings of rudeness, arrogance, conceit, self-righteousness, etc.
But once you can tolerate these shortcomings, then he is the most reliable partner in the world.
This time, the Sorcerer's Stone incident made Harry believe even more that his encounter with Sherlock was destined.
That feeling of "As long as I'm with Sherlock, I'm not afraid of anything" became even stronger.
He took a deep breath and asked again: "Sir, how exactly did I get the Sorcerer's Stone out of the Mirror of Erised?"
"Ah, I'm glad you finally asked me about this!"
Just as Dumbledore himself said, he smiled very happily.
"This is one of my little tricks, involving the tacit understanding between you and me, which is very remarkable.
Only the one who wants to find the Sorcerer's Stone but doesn't use it can truly obtain it."
Harry thought for a moment before he understood what Dumbledore meant.
"Alright, you've asked enough questions. If you want to know the detailed process of the whole thing, you might as well go find Miss Granger, I believe she will be happy to share it with you."
Although Dumbledore had said that he had asked enough questions, Harry couldn't help but ask when he heard this:
"Why Hermione, not Sherlock?"
"This question requires you to consider it yourself, I suggest you still enjoy these sweets."
Dumbledore stood up and picked up a box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans from the table.
"Ah! Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans!
When I was young, I was really unlucky and accidentally ate a bean that smelled stinky.
From then on, I didn't like to eat beans very much.
But I think choosing a toffee-flavored one is always foolproof, what do you say?"
Before Harry could react, a familiar voice rang out:
"I still suggest you change one."
