Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts

When talking about having a bold idea, the Greek translator couldn't help but show a hint of pride on his face:

"Every time I asked a question, I added a question of my own.

At first, I only asked some unimportant questions, mainly because I was worried about being seen through by that guy.

It wasn't until I realized he didn't react at all that I dared to ask more probing questions.

I won't talk about those tentative questions anymore, I'll just say the useful information:

'Your stubbornness won't do you any good—who are you?'

'I don't care—I came to England to expand my business, and I'm unfamiliar with this place.'

'Your fate is entirely up to you—how long have you been here?'

'Whatever—three weeks.'

'This property will never belong to you—how are they torturing you?'

'I will never let it fall into the hands of a villain like you—they don't give me food, they put curses on me, trying to make me submit.'

'If you sign, you will be free—where is this mansion?'

'I will never sign—I don't know.'

'Don't you think about your family at all—what's your name?'

'My family will never let me submit to you—Musgrave.'

'As long as you sign, I guarantee you safe passage—where do you come from?'

'Do you think I'll still believe you—Athens.'

Mr. Holmes, this is the process of our second conversation.

Like last time, Smith stopped everything, gave me another five Galleons, and sent me back to my home with a Portkey.

It was after that time that I felt that I could no longer help him do evil.

However, I don't trust the Ministry of Magic—I heard from Hagrid about the case you handled before Christmas, and their performance was really disappointing.

It just so happened that Mr. Hagrid said that he was Professor Dumbledore's most trusted person, so I thought of asking him for help.

When I told him about this matter, he told me some of your deeds, and I learned that in addition to the cases on Halloween and Christmas, you also solved a case on Easter."

Hearing Baskerville's words, Sherlock was not surprised at all.

Because Hagrid is that kind of person.

Fortunately, Hagrid hasn't met Baskerville during this time, so he doesn't have time to talk.

Otherwise, not to mention Halloween, Christmas, and Easter, even the Philosopher's Stone and Quirrell's affairs would definitely be revealed.

So this also shows from the side that Dumbledore didn't intend to keep it secret when he let Hagrid participate.

Baskerville took another big gulp of butterbeer as usual, and then talked about the third time he was called to translate two days ago.

The process was actually similar to the previous two times.

He still came to John Smith's house through the Portkey and communicated with the young Athenian who claimed to be Musgrave.

This time, Musgrave's face was even worse, and he had many wounds on his body.

It can be seen that his situation is getting worse and worse.

Fortunately, this time Baskerville extracted more information through the previous method.

In short, it is a tragic story of a newly emerging rich man in Athens.

Although the Musgrave family is not well-known in England, it can be regarded as a prominent ancient family in the Greek wizarding world, and its history can even be traced back to the Middle Ages.

The family members are gifted and have made outstanding achievements in many fields, especially in the research and application of ancient magic.

They have a unique magical inheritance, and many precious magical books and mysterious magical rituals are passed down in the family.

These inheritances are not only the accumulation of knowledge, but also the symbol of power.

It can be said that it is precisely because of these that the Musgrave family has always occupied an important position in the Greek wizarding world.

Most of the members of this family are upright, upholding reverence for magic and adherence to justice.

Young Musgrave, as the representative of the younger generation of the family, originally came to England to expand the magical business territory.

Who knew that because of the language barrier, he would encounter such treatment.

However, it was precisely because of his attitude of resolutely refusing to compromise with the kidnappers despite suffering all kinds of torture that Baskerville was deeply touched and decided to help him.

On the other hand, he was also worried that Smith would cross the river and tear down the bridge, killing the donkey after it had done its work.

Of course, everything about Musgrave and his family comes from Musgrave's own description, and it is impossible to verify whether the content is true.

"Are you sure, why do you remember the time so clearly?"

"Because the first time, I originally had another appointment at four o'clock, but because he gave too much, I turned it down.

As for the second and third times, it was because I paid special attention to the time—I thought it might be useful."

"Well done, Mr. Translator!"

Sherlock praised, and continued to ask, "After you arrived at his house, you found that all the curtains were drawn, right?"

"Yes."

"Is it always like this?"

"Every time—but I found that the traces of sunlight in the gaps of the curtains were a bit strange, they formed equidistant light spots."

"Can you draw it? This may be very important to the case."

"Yes, I have been deliberately observing since the second time. You know, as a translator who knows the languages of various countries, a good memory is the most basic requirement."

"Thank you very much. Regarding the guy who claims to be John Smith, besides your description just now, are there any other characteristics?"

"Uh... I only remember that he was wearing dragon-hide gloves on his right hand."

"Very good, regarding Musgrave, do you have anything else to say?"

"I think he is a very upright person, facing the coercion of that villain, he has always refused to submit to him.

I dare to guarantee that if it were me, I would definitely not be able to hold on for so long."

"One last question, what is the Portkey he used?"

"Uh... it's a bronze Romanian Longhorn dragon statue."

After listening to this bizarre and tortuous story, Sherlock sat silently for a while.

After a while, he looked at Baskerville again: "Have you asked the Greek side?"

The latest and most complete novels are available at 69shuba.com!

"This morning I asked my friends, and the current news is that they don't know anything."

"Then I suggest contacting Athens directly, and... Hagrid, this matter is very unusual, I need your help."

"No problem!"

Hagrid patted his chest, "Just tell me what to do."

"I am very interested in this case and will do everything possible to find out the truth, but", Sherlock stared at the kind-hearted Greek man, "Mr. Baskerville, if I were you, I would definitely be extra vigilant during this period."

"Why?"

Baskerville asked subconsciously.

"Judging from the series of actions such as using the Portkey as a means of transportation, sealing the curtains, and threatening and intimidating, this is definitely a cautious and brutal person.

You learned about Mr. Musgrave's whereabouts through the Greek side, and he won't be able to hide the fact that you came to us for long, he will definitely know that you betrayed him."

"Don't worry, mate!"

Hagrid slapped Baskerville on the shoulder, making him shake, "I can introduce you to some powerful guys."

"Mr. Hagrid, thank you for your kindness, but my friends may not be as smart as Mr. Holmes, but if it's just to protect me, there will definitely be no problem."

Looking at his confident appearance, Sherlock didn't say much, just asked him to leave some yew wood chips and verdigris rust.

After repeatedly urging him to pay attention to his personal safety, the two sides said goodbye.

According to Baskerville, it feels much better to tell everything.

He has to go home quickly, and he can finally have a good night's sleep tonight.

"How is it, Sherlock?"

On the way back to Hogwarts from Hogsmeade, Hagrid couldn't help but ask.

"I need to look up some information. If all goes well, I will be able to get the answer tomorrow."

Hagrid couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, "Do you already have hope of solving it so quickly?"

"Hagrid, I don't know how to describe it to you."

Sherlock pondered and said, "But to be honest, now that I know so much, it would be strange if I still can't figure out the rest of the questions."

Hearing Sherlock's words, Hagrid couldn't help but be even more confused.

But he has one advantage.

That is, he won't bother to think about things he can't understand, he just needs to listen to what the smart people say.

When Sherlock returned to Hogwarts Castle, Hermione and Ron immediately surrounded him.

"You're finally back, tell us what you did today?"

"Someone said they saw you and Hagrid appear in Hogsmeade, is that true?"

"Yes."

Sherlock nodded, and then briefly told the two what happened today.

There is no need to keep it secret, even if he doesn't say it, as long as the two ask Hagrid, they can find out clearly.

"What? Professor Dumbledore actually gave that dragon egg to Mr. Scamander?"

Bloody Hell! He's definitely the best person to take care of it!”

“What? You actually went to Hogsmeade with Hagrid?”

Bloody Hell! That's a place we can't go until we're in third year!”

“What? Some outsider asked you to investigate?!”

Bloody Hell! You have to take me with you this time!”

“Ron, shut up!”

Hermione, annoyed by Ron's barrage of exclamations, turned to Sherlock and asked, “This matter won't be dangerous, will it? Should we tell Mr. Dumbledore? Or Professor McGonagall?”

Sherlock shook his head. “Don't worry, Hagrid will protect me.”

“But… but…”

Hermione recalled Hagrid's actions and felt that this person didn't seem very smart.

Sherlock said seriously, “Although it seems like he was born after taking Veritaserum, his combat power is beyond doubt.”
