Sherlock Holmes at Hogwarts.

Chapter 8 Two names
Mrs. Holmes is indeed helpful.

But that was just one reason to be so eager to help the Grangers.

As a mother, she knows her son's personality very well.

Lonely, eccentric, and unsociable.

In her previous school, she had a headache because of this matter.

Although Sherlock solved the problem on his own, the final result was not pleasant.

So it would be great if he could make friends before entering school.

Meanwhile, Sherlock had already greeted the little girl named Hermione.

Out of politeness, he said to Mr. Granger again: "Dr. Granger, nice to meet you."

"Gladly...wait, how did you know I was a doctor?"

Mr. Granger agreed subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

He didn't mention his occupation when he introduced himself.

Mrs. Granger and Hermione, who had long, fuzzy brown hair, were also stunned.

Looking at the surprised looks of the Granger family, Mr. Holmes and Mrs. Holmes smiled at each other.

They were certainly not surprised at all.

After all, similar things have happened many times.

But Mrs. Holmes's laughter soon died away.

Because Sherlock did not answer Mr. Granger directly, but turned to Mrs. Granger:
"Mrs. Granger, I actually suspect my mother has pulpitis caused by tooth decay, but she's afraid of the pain and hasn't dared to go to the hospital. I hope you can help her."

Mrs. Granger's eyes lit up and she immediately asked about Mrs. Holmes's symptoms.

Although Mrs. Holmes glared at Sherlock, she still cooperated and began to explain the condition to Mrs. Granger.

When Sherlock was pulled forward, Hermione Granger had already begun observing him.

Sherlock has short black hair, grey eyes, and is taller than his peers, which makes him noticeable at first glance.

When she heard him directly tell her his parents' occupations, she was even more surprised and couldn't help but look at him several more times.

Then I noticed the rather slender hooked nose.

"so big."

When Sherlock's sharp eyes looked over, Hermione, who was discovered, couldn't help but blush and quickly turned her head away.

The Granger family arrived a little late after all.

Although the two mothers got along very well, in order to buy Hermione all the necessary school supplies as soon as possible, the Granger family had to go first.

However, before parting ways, Mrs. Holmes not only took them to confirm the location of the Leaky Cauldron, but also shared her shopping experience of the day with Mrs. Granger without reservation.

At the same time, Mrs. Granger also persuaded Mrs. Holmes to give her a comprehensive periodontal health check before school officially started.

Guaranteed to be painless.

And just like that, a day in Diagon Alley came to a successful end.

The next month was very busy for Sherlock.

He didn't take the Grangers seriously.

My mother's pulpitis was indeed a pleasant surprise.

As for taking care of each other with Hermione at school, that is not necessary.

Sherlock has always thought that taking care of himself is a very troublesome thing.

As for Hermione taking care of herself, that was even more impossible.

Besides... with a little witch, how would he have time to explore Hogwarts?
During this time, he carefully studied the uses of his new pet.

After trying several times, he found that just as the pet shop owner said, owls can deliver both letters and parcels.

It looks no different from a postman, but its speed and accuracy are much greater.

He also gave his pet owl a name.

Watson. Sherlock couldn't explain why, but he felt that this name was suitable for a long-term companion.

In addition, he also finished reading all the textbooks and a few extra books he bought.

Through them, Sherlock finally had a systematic and macro understanding of the wizarding world.

Compared to the little witch Hermione Granger, he was more interested in the other two names.

One of them was Harry James Potter.

This name was mentioned in both "A History of Magic" on the school's designated reading list and "The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts", two books Sherlock bought himself.

This little boy, who is the same age as me, was born on July 1980, 7.

He is known as "the boy who lived", "the savior of the wizarding world", and "the only nemesis of the Dark Lord".

As for why Harry Potter has these titles, it is because of another name related to it.

This is the Dark Lord that was restrained by Harry Potter.

According to the description in the book, this is the most powerful and dangerous dark wizard in history.

Even when his name needs to be mentioned, many books simply call him "the man whose name must not be mentioned."

The name "Voldemort" only appears in a very few books, and often only once.

When it is still needed to be mentioned in the following text, he becomes a mysterious man or a dark lord.

Sherlock, who believed in science, found it a little hard to understand.

This is really a bit too outrageous.

Maybe... this is the characteristic of the magical world?

In short, because Voldemort was so powerful and had so many followers, he once ruled the wizarding world.

For the entire wizarding world, it was the darkest period in history.

but.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

The dark and oppressive rule caused dissatisfaction among more and more people, and finally, a protracted war broke out between good and evil.

The person who led the white wizards to fight against Voldemort was Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

This is also the reason why Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Dumbledore himself have such a high status in magic schools.

This war, known as the Wizarding War, lasted a full 11 years.

The entire wizarding world suffered greatly in this war.

According to the description in the book, if the war continued, Voldemort might really rule the wizarding world.

However, just in the eleventh year of the Wizarding War, when Voldemort's power was at its peak, a turning point occurred.

October 1981, 10, Halloween Eve.

For unknown reasons, the dreaded Dark Lord came to Godric's Hollow.

It is a small village in the southwest of England. It is a semi-wizarding community named after the famous wizard Godric Gryffindor.

Harry Potter and his parents lived here.

There is no doubt that Mr. and Mrs. Potter are an excellent pair of wizards.

They are powerful and were once active on the front lines against Voldemort.

Even so, when they confronted Voldemort head-on, the Potters were brutally murdered by him without a doubt.

After killing Mr. and Mrs. Potter, Voldemort turned his wand on Harry Potter, who was only 15 months old.

but.

The dark lord who possessed super strength, had killed hundreds of people with his own hands, and made the entire wizarding world shudder with fear, actually failed!
The powerful magic that was once invincible reduced the Potter family's house to ruins, but Harry himself was safe and sound.

This makes Harry Potter the only person to have survived Voldemort's clutches so far.
