chuckled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harry, please take out the Christmas gift Professor Snape gave you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Harry's eyes instantly lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly reached into his robes, his movements carrying both urgency and careful caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he produced a crystal-clear small bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the flickering yellow light, the bottle refracted dreamlike brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bottle was filled with a liquid that sparkled with golden light, the radiance dancing gently like fireflies on a summer night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just from its appearance alone, one could sense this was high-grade goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My God, it's Felix Felicis!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione couldn't help but exclaim, quickly covering her mouth with both hands, her eyes full of shock and excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a top student, she knew the value of this potion all too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The materials alone for brewing this potion were all rare, high-grade ingredients:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Known components included Ashwinder eggs, horseradish, squill bulbs, Murtlap essence, tincture of thyme, Occamy eggshells, and powdered rue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention its brewing process was extremely complex, often requiring a full six months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brewer needed complete concentration, eyes fixed on the cauldron, stirring rod moving in specific rhythms—every movement allowing no margin for error.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any mistake in any step could have unimaginable consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might cause a earth-shattering explosion or create some strange and dangerous substance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just thinking about it was frightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high cost and complex brewing process resulted in effects that were magical beyond imagination:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only could it enhance the user's abilities, but it could also bring good luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More specifically, within 12 hours of consumption, it could put the user in a wonderful state where they weren't controlled by emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In extreme situations, the mind would be exceptionally clear, making precise and accurate actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could significantly improve abilities in all aspects, making everything go smoothly, as if invisible hands were pushing things along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would also bring good fortune, making everything proceed smoothly with unlimited opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And don't let the seemingly small amount in this bottle fool you—such generous high-grade potions could probably only be given by the few potion masters like Snape in all of Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mix them together, and the three of us will drink it separately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Sherlock's words, Harry's eyes immediately lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, how hadn't he thought of this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Felix Felicis's magical effects, combined with the potion that could already pass through the flames, it would definitely be enough to help them enter the next room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, drinking Felix Felicis would play an even greater role in what was to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in the final room, they would very likely have to fight Quirrell again, or even Voldemort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, a flash of determination crossed Harry's eyes as he clenched his fists tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione hadn't expected Sherlock to solve the problem this way either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bit her lip gently, her eyes were full of conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, she wanted to say this precious potion should be saved for more important moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on second thought, this time they were facing Voldemort!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could there be a more important moment than this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for a rare potion like Felix Felicis, this was the highest stakes game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she nodded in agreement, stepping forward with a concerned expression to remind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't pour it all in—just ensure each of us has a small sip.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Felix Felicis was a good thing, excessive consumption also had dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could not only cause dizziness, recklessness, and arrogance, but could even make one overconfident, losing the instinct for self-preservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry nodded at Hermione's reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully picked up the bottle and slowly tilted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden Felix Felicis flowed out like a nimble stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Harry poured out half the Felix Felicis, and after mixing it with the potion in the small bottle, the three divided and drank it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Felix Felicis-mixed potion felt like cold water, instantly flooding their entire bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cool sensation spread from their throats to their limbs, making their bodies feel light as if they could fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the three walked toward the menacing black flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the black flames made crackling sounds, constantly licking at their bodies, they felt nothing at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, they arrived at the final room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This room's furnishings were even more poor than Snape's potion challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire room contained only one luxurious and imposing mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely the Mirror of Erised that Sherlock and Harry had encountered during their night wandering at Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The final test was this mirror?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Sherlock immediately understood why the old man had refused to tell him about his arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Sherlock, Harry and Hermione focused more attention on the person standing before the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pale complexion, signature large scarf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Quirinus Quirrell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Different from usual, his eyes no longer twitched as they normally did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quirrell calmly looked at the three who had entered the room, finally focusing his gaze on Harry:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and Hermione looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they had received warnings from Sherlock more than once, when Quirrell actually stood there, they couldn't help but feel absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Professor Quirrell. We meet again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock stepped forward half a step, carefully observing Quirrell as they reunited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you've recovered well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Sherlock mentioned this, Quirrell's expression immediately turned ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't forgotten that on that night in the Forbidden Forest, it was this young wizard who had given him a sword thrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sword thrust had kept him resting until after Easter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being wounded by a first-year student with a sword was simply a humiliation for Quirrell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath: \"Holmes—I was just wondering if I'd encounter you here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Potter, after all, the one who always likes to obstruct me should be Snape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock was noncommittal about this statement: \"It seems you still haven't obtained the Philosopher's Stone? I really overestimated you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, you're not stuttering anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry suddenly cried out. He was shocked to discover that Quirrell had spoken that long passage very fluently which was ompletely different from his usual stuttering performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Harry's surprised expression, the anger from Sherlock's earlier mockery was suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"St-st-stuttering? Hahahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quirrell laughed loudly, this laughter wasn't his usual sharp, trembling tone, but a chilling cold laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Potter, compared to your friend, you're really quite lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking about it, that makes sense. Snape is like a giant bat flying around everywhere, making himself universally hated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With him there, who would suspect p-p-poor, st-st-stuttering Professor Quirrell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end, Quirrell deliberately switched to his usual halting manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mockery was at maximum level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, it was you who tried to kill me during the Quidditch match, and Professor Snape was trying to save me? He refereed the second match for me too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry stared straight at Quirrell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was somewhat surprised to find that he didn't feel much fear facing Quirrell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered if the Felix Felicis was taking effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it seems you're not completely stupid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Harry's performance, Quirrell seemed somewhat surprised as he said coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He indeed wanted to ensure I couldn't harm you again. The other teachers all thought Snape wanted to prevent Gryffindor from winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I must say, he succeeded. With him as referee, I really couldn't do anything to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the first Quidditch match was also because he kept reciting counter-curses—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused here: \"Potter, I can only say your luck is very good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If my robes hadn't suddenly caught fire that day, I would have already knocked you off your broomstick. No matter how many counter-curses Snape recited, it wouldn't have helped.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he looked toward Hermione.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting Quirrell's cold gaze, Hermione couldn't help but shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This professor, whom everyone had treated as a joke, now gave her an extremely dangerous feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn't help but move closer to Sherlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock frowned and spat out two words: \"Idiot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quirrell suddenly turned his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his hatred for Harry stemmed from his master's mission, then his hatred for Sherlock came from Quirrell himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had Sherlock stabbed him with a sword, but just now he had mocked him with that contemptuous tone. Quirrell's anger was imaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he never expected this was just the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quirrell, I really wonder if the Sorting Hat was secretly napping when you entered school.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock said with complete disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quirrell's voice suddenly rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire room's magic surged, even the temperature seeming to drop several degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock acted as if nothing had happened, and continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were right just now—indeed no one would suspect you. That's because you were originally just a self-proclaimed clever clown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the flames hadn't reached your pale neck, you'd still be staring at Harry casting spells. A wizard who lacks even the most basic situational awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really should suggest your master throw you into logic and common-sense classes to relearn how to observe the world, stop embarrassing yourself and making people laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, even Longbottom's pet toad is cleverer than you—at least it can ensure it never truly gets lost.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quirrell was furious and the veins were bulging on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock continued as if he hadn't heard:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh, you're truly eye-opening. Walking around daily with that paper-pale face, wrapped in that ridiculous turban, yet facing clues right in front of you, you can only stare blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those twitching eyes of yours are probably too busy showing fear to learn how to read information from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That stuttering mouth of yours probably can't spit out half a useful deduction at critical moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously backed by Voldemort, here in this Hogwarts Castle where magical knowledge gathers, with such advantageous conditions, yet you've made such a mess of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder you've achieved nothing so far, becoming the pitiful creature in this competition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock went full force, ending with a regretful statement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've lowered the entire IQ of Ravenclaw house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read more chapters on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FMikeyMuse\u003C\u002Fp>",1677,"2026-06-10T06:27:24.273Z",1,"novelbin.me","2e712d2f5ab7f9225561bdc30c8f23af19878f7934eeee87437a015bd3e7ce4a","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-108","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-106",637,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-cover.jpg"]
