Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 330 Sherlock and Luna's Seamless Communication
Seeing that Sherlock hadn't forgotten him even while investigating the case, Harry couldn't help but feel moved; his lips trembled.

"Sherlock, I..."

Sherlock, however, spoke as if he had foreseen the future: "No need for thanks, my dear Harry, I just happened to find this while looking for information."

Hermione, who was standing nearby, heard Sherlock's words and said to Harry, "I can vouch for it; Sherlock did indeed take it without permission."

Harry: ((*)ゞ→→

I said you guys coordinated really well!

Sherlock: "If you don't want to read, there's actually a simple and straightforward way."

Harry immediately became interested: "What method?"

"Buy a Nimbus 2001 directly, or pay extra for a Nimbus 2001 Super."

The emergence of the fire crossbow bolt affected their prices.

Plus, with the Christmas sales going on now, it's the perfect time to buy them.

Although all three people present were well-off, Sherlock still took economic factors into account when considering the issue.

In the past, Harry would have said, "I won't buy anything that Malfoy thinks is good."

But he wouldn't say that now.

After all, Malfoy had already apologized to him, and he not only apologized verbally, but also took concrete actions after apologizing.

He hasn't provoked me since that incident. If it were before, he would definitely have mimicked the action of falling off the flying broom as soon as he saw me.

Moreover, he had the same experience as himself—he fell off his flying broom and broke his leg, and his Nimbus 2001, which he had only used for a year, was also smashed to pieces by the Mandarin Duck.

Harry was a magnanimous person to begin with, and seeing this situation, he didn't hate the other party as much anymore.

Instead, there was a sense of shared misfortune.

"Then I'll take a look first."

"Hmm, the editor of this magazine once praised Quidditch Origins and the introduction to various flying brooms is also very objective. I think it would be a good fit for you."

Hermione added a comment as well.

The three of them spent the rest of the day reading in the library.

Sherlock is investigating case files related to Black.

Hermione was reviewing her lessons, and she was already feeling a bit tired after selecting all the courses.

But she persevered through it all and didn't miss a single class.

Harry naturally consulted "The Complete Book of Flying Brooms" to choose a flying broom that would suit him.

After lunch, Ginny and Luna, the two girls, arrived together.

As they were still in second grade, they did not meet the requirements to go to Hogsmeade Village, so they stayed at the school.

Ginny came here mainly to see Harry, or rather, to let Harry see her.

Ginny's mindset has changed ever since she witnessed Cho Chang use the Water and Fire Immunity Charm to help Harry recover from his blindness during the last match pause.

Ginny's feelings for Harry were not static, but rather gradually deepened over time.

On September 1, 1991, Sherlock and Harry entered their first year at Hogwarts.

When Mrs. Weasley sent Ginny's brothers to Hogwarts, Ginny met Harry Potter—the legendary boy who survived—at King's Cross Station.

When they first met, Ginny really wanted to see Harry up close.

Unfortunately, Weasley stopped her and solemnly told her that Harry was not a monkey in a zoo.

What she did was not only impolite, but also disturbed others, which Ginny found very regrettable.

When the first school year ended, Ginny once again came with her mother to pick up her brothers from school.

This time, she shouted excitedly when she saw Harry.

This also made Harry officially notice Ginny's existence.

After officially meeting Harry, Ginny longed to grow up quickly so she could go to Hogwarts to study like her brothers.

However, at this point, Ginny's feelings for Harry were mostly admiration. Having grown up listening to stories of the wizarding world's savior, it was inevitable for a young girl to have an idol complex and want to get close to Harry.

In the summer of 1992, the opportunity came.

Sherlock, Harry, Hermione and their group head to Godric's Hollow, and to Ginny's utter surprise, Harry ends up staying at the Caveman's Cave.

It was during this period that Ginny's feelings for Harry gradually changed in a subtle way.

Ginny is a precocious girl, especially compared to her sixth brother Ron, she seems more mature.

During Harry's stay at the Weasleys' house, she often hid and observed him.

She would even pretend to accidentally bump into things while eating in order to get Harry's attention.

Before the start of the school year, at Flourish and Blotts, when Ginny saw Malfoy mocking and ridiculing Harry, she resolutely stood up to defend Harry.

This ultimately led to an altercation between Malfoy and Weasley.

On Valentine's Day, she mustered up her courage and sent Harry a greeting card.

The result not only caused trouble for Harry, but also inexplicably made him a target of Professor Snape.

In fact, by this time, Ginny could be considered to have just begun to experience romantic feelings.

If things continue like this, it might be several more years before Ginny realizes her feelings for Harry.

Just then, a formidable rival emerged. Cho Chang, a British woman of Chinese descent, was a Ravenclaw witch a year older than Harry and also the Seeker for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team.

Her appearance made Ginny realize ahead of time that her feelings for Harry were no longer the idol worship of a young girl.

Similarly, the appearance of Cho Chang plunged Ginny into deep distress.

Because Cho Chang and Harry's relationship is progressing faster and faster, and Cho Chang's advantages are becoming increasingly obvious.

She's beautiful, academically gifted, gentle, and athletic. I've also heard that as a Chinese woman, she's an excellent cook, which is incredibly appealing to the British, who are known for their terrible cooking!
It's no exaggeration to say that a girl like this in school is every boy's dream girl; she's just too adorable!
Although Ginny believed her beauty rivaled Cho Chang's, her pure-blood background meant she was no less skilled in magic. She had played Quidditch with her brother since childhood and was also quite athletic.

As for cooking skills, she could easily learn—her mother, Molly Weasley, was an excellent homemaker.

But her biggest disadvantage is her age.

He is one year younger than Harry and two years younger than Cho Chang.

Even in his second year, Harry still treated her like a little sister.

Perhaps it will take another year or two before he realizes his difference.

But if that time really comes, judging from the current pace of Harry and Cho Chang's relationship, they'll probably be kissing by then!

When Ginny heard about her troubles, her best friend Luna said that such things were very easy to solve.

Why doesn't she just tell Harry how she feels?

However, Ginny thought that would scare Harry.

Seeing that her friend insisted on this, Luna could only offer another suggestion.

You need to frequently appear in front of Harry, bravely show yourself, and attract his attention.

It would be unacceptable if Ginny couldn't even speak when Harry was in the room.

Fortunately, the appearance of another Harry fanatic, Colin Crevey, objectively helped Ginny.

While Ginny was stopping Colin's obsessive pursuit of Harry, she also got closer to him, which made Harry notice her. She finally overcame her weakness of blushing and being unable to speak whenever she saw Harry.

But that's not enough, far from enough.

Cho Chang is progressing faster and faster, especially after the start of the new school year, her performance in two Quidditch matches was absolutely amazing.

Damn!

For the first time, I had someone I liked, and I also gained a lifelong friend.

The two joys overlapped, and this double joy brought even more joy.

They should have been enjoying a dreamlike period of happiness, so why did it turn out like this?
It’s me, it was me first, it was obviously me who came first!
That's why Ginny was determined to catch up while Harry stayed at school and Cho Chang was away.

To make his intentions less obvious, he even invited his close friend Luna along.

Anyway, she and Sherlock have a good relationship.

That said, if Luna could get closer to Sherlock, it would be of even greater help to her.

However, Luna said that Ginny was overthinking it; she was only there to share her thoughts with Sherlock.

"Sherlock, the moon frogs croak like rusty springs in the clock tower, and when their bulging eyes turn into compasses, shadows always learn to crawl."

“I’m sorry, Luna, but there is actually no evidence that such a creature actually exists.”

Hermione, who was standing to the side, put down her book and looked at Luna.

"But a wizard claimed that he rode a six-star sweeping sword to the moon and brought back a bag of moon frogs."

“You said it yourself, it’s a claim,” Hermione said, frowning. “He can’t prove that the bag of frogs was brought back from the moon.”

“No, that must be it!” Luna said firmly. “Our whole family thinks so.”

Hermione sighed and decided not to continue the discussion with Luna about this issue.

At this moment, Sherlock spoke up and asked, "So, you already have an opinion on Black's method of infiltrating the school?"

Hermione turned sharply to look at Sherlock, her eyes filled with surprise.

No, how did you get that meaning from her words?

Harry and Ginny, who were studying the flying broomstick, also looked up and stared at Sherlock with surprise.

However, their next conversation surprised the three of them even more:

"There might be a harassing fly that has learned to transform living in Sirius Black's head."

"Infiltrating the school by transforming... that's not impossible."

“I still think we shouldn’t let Harry mend his broom alone in the moonlight. Those biting memories love to hide in silver shadows.”

"That's why Harry didn't go to Hogsmeade this time."

"..."

Hermione, Harry, and Ginny looked at each other in bewilderment.

What is this and what?

They could understand each word Luna spoke individually, but they couldn't understand them when they were put together.

Even more outrageous is that Sherlock was able to communicate with Luna without any problems.
At that moment, the three of them remembered something.

In every respect, Sherlock cannot be considered a normal person.

So... this is how two abnormal people communicate?
