Wands And Magic
[Dear Mr. Forrest:]
[Because of some minor accidents, there has been new progress on the matter you discussed with Dumbledore at Hogwarts before. The process of the matter is a bit complicated, and it is inconvenient to explain clearly in the letter, so I will be on the evening of July 3rd. Come to your house on time at 7:20. ]
[Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - Minerva McGonagall. ]
The content of the letter was very short, with only the above sentence, but the message conveyed in this sentence made Sherlock restless.
Minerva McGonagall.
Of course, he knew who the name was.
Sherlock has only read one Harry Potter book in its entirety, and he had a lot to say about the Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts and the Head of the Gryffindor House.
She was a decent person with a strict teaching attitude.
And the Dumbledore mentioned in the letter is the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the most powerful light character in the whole story - Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore!
The original owner went to Hogwarts to discuss things with Dumbledore before. Now, because of this matter, Deputy Headmistress McGonagall is coming to see him?
Today's date is July 3, which means that in five hours, the famous witch will come to visit.
But the crux of the problem is that after Sherlock transmigrated into this world, he didn't get any golden fingers, and he didn't even inherit the memory of the original owner.
He knew nothing about the originals previous life and experience of the original owner.
If in the normal world, there is a diagnosis of amnesia issued to him by the hospital, he can still rely on this to fool him.
But in the magical world, can amnesia really be an excuse to explain the past?
If Professor McGonagall arrives, and Sherlock declares that he has amnesia, and can not remember everything before.
What is the most likely thing the witch would do?
Use magic directly on him to detect whether he really lost his memory?
Or take him to a hospital in the magic world for a magic treatment?
Or take him to the famous white wizard Dumbledore and let him determine his current situation?
No matter which of these three possibilities could happen, Sherlock could not accept it.
Because every possibility will make others discover that he is not the original Sherlock, but a transmigrator from another world.
And he is also very clear about the future development and changes in this world.
What will happen to Sherlock in the future, no one can predict.
The woman in the picture frame on the wall has stopped scolding and screaming. She seems to be tired of yelling, and she fell asleep with her head tilted and a slight snoring sound.
Sherlock held the letter in his hand in the study, pacing back and forth uneasily.
This was obviously the first crisis he encountered after crossing into this world, and the difficulty factor was extremely high and might even be fatal.
And it was impossible to escape.
He had to find a way to cope with Professor McGonagall's visit tonight, at least to understand the character and habits of the original owner first, and not make too many mistakes in dialogue and communication.
The time is now two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are only 5 hours left until the promised time in the letter.
Sherlock's time is very tight, and his greatest hope is pinned in this study.
Since I can receive a letter from Hogwarts since I will have such a study at home and so many magic books.
This proves that the original owner is also a wizard who graduated from Hogwarts.
In a wizard's home, although the outside decorations are somewhat special, it is obvious that the owner of the house is deliberately concealing his identity as a wizard during the decoration process.
And this study is his secret base, and it is also the storage room where he stores all the items related to the magical world.
Sherlock walked to the desk, the tea in the cup was still steaming with warm water.
A floating candlestick hovers above the desk all the time, illuminating the area where the owner of the house usually spends the most.
In addition to the teapot and cup, there is a thick notebook, a beige quill inserted in an ink bottle, and a small wooden stick on the desk.
Sherlock, who already knew what this world was like, certainly wouldn't naively think that the little wooden stick was just an ordinary little stick.
Even people who haven't seen Harry Potter have heard of the existence of a "wand", a necessary spellcasting tool for wizards, on various other occasions.
The little stick lying on the desk was Sherlock's wand.
He gently picked up the smooth and straight wand with a length of about 13 inches (about 33 centimetres). A strange feeling came to his mind the moment his fingers touched the body of the wand.
Something in his body seemed to be drawn out by this magic wand, and it was about to come out.
Sherlock didn't deliberately suppress it, and that magical thing poured out of his body onto the wand.
The next moment, a cluster of silver sparks burst out from the tip of the staff cheering.
Seeing this scene, Sherlock knew very well what the thing that just poured out of his body was.
Magic - the source of a wizard's ability.
And that cluster of silver sparks, although it looks very simple, could also be called magic!
Sherlock's eyes flickered with excitement, as long as he was a normal person, no one would not be interested in magic.
But soon he recovered from his excitement.
Now is not the time for him to experience the mysteries of magic, and Professor McGonagall was coming soon.
If he hadn't dealt with this level, let alone magic, he wouldn't even be able to guarantee his safety.
Sherlock put down the wand in his hand, and picked up the teacup on the desk, and drank the warm tea in one gulp, and began to search for every detail in the study.
And the first target he checked brought him an incomparably huge gain.
In the stack of thick notebooks placed on the desk, the topmost of which was the original owner's diary!
Unexpectedly, the original owner, such an honest man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looks handsome, actually has the habit of writing a diary.
But now Sherlock is not in the mood for leisure. Is the original owner a sullen man?
Having a diary means that he has a way to understand the original owner's past, and it also gives him great confidence to get through tonight's test.
Opening the diary, the first entry in this diary was recorded five years ago.
"April 12, 1987."
"Mary and I broke up today. She said that I was like a troll head, with nothing but the study in my mind. I didn't know any taste at all. Bai has such a good appearance."
"I know what she's talking about. She made it clear that day and wanted me to kiss her in the Great Hall, right at the beginning, but the real reason why I had agreed to be her boyfriend was just to study the feeling of love."

Editor: The heart break 😭

"It's a pity that she didn't give me any feelings, so I'm responsible for her as well as me. I didn't choose to kiss her."
"Until now, I haven't felt that getting along with the opposite gender can give people any strange feeling, so love is probably not suitable for me."
"History has proved that those masters of magic do not need such superfluous things as love, just like Professor Dumbledore."
"So to commemorate my big step towards becoming a master of magic, let's start writing a diary today."
