strange specimens and old books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight streamed through dust-covered windows, casting golden columns of light where dust mites danced freely, illuminating the boy's meticulous profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers gripped a delicate scalpel steadily, his movements gentle yet precise, as if sculpting a priceless treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was twelve-year-old Sherlock Holmes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the owl had delivered his Hogwarts acceptance letter last summer, his life had undergone tremendous changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happens when a boy who firmly believes in science suddenly discovers he's a wizard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—Where science and magic intersect, the story is about to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a year of study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Sherlock had now become a competent wizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his already gray eyes were narrowed to slits, his expression focused with a hint of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if everything around him had been shut out, leaving only him and the board before him in the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the board was a toad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A toad awaiting dissection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, Sherlock took a deep breath, and the scalpel slowly descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The toad's abdomen was instantly opened with a neat incision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he carefully separated the toad's muscle tissue, its internal structure was laid bare before him without reservation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just looking at the organs, they gave an overall impression of translucency, as if wrapped in a special membrane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was due to what this toad had experienced in life—it had been repeatedly used as a subject for potion experiments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock used tweezers to gently pick up what appeared to be a liver-like organ, observed it carefully for a while, then placed it in a nearby container.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were swift and his technique skilled—clearly, this wasn't his first time doing such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, what had been a complete toad was transformed into a pile of organs and tissues under his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out prepared potions and began the next step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Sherlock worked, he contemplated knowledge about toads and potions in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly, he was using the toad's dissection to verify some of his hypotheses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by, and half an hour passed without notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sherlock is upstairs, just go find him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of Sherlock's mother, Mrs. Holmes, came from downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was immediately followed by the sound of hurried footsteps coming up from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock's right hand paused almost subtly, his brow furrowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just three seconds, Sherlock had already determined the visitor's identity from his mother's tone and the sound of footsteps on the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't stop his work but continued with his task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the footsteps stopped abruptly at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock's door wasn't locked, so the visitor didn't need to knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after seeing this scene from the doorway, the person couldn't help but stare in amazement, eyes full of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but was struck speechless by the sight before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another moment, she finally couldn't help but speak:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So... the reason you haven't been writing letters or calling me is because you've been doing this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione Granger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock's friend from Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was the first classmate to get to know Sherlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before school even started last year, the two had already met at the Leaky Cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the official start of term, they had progressed from \"acquaintances\" to people who could call each other by name through their shared love of spending time in the library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sherlock rescued Hermione from the troll on Halloween night, they officially became friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both wizards came from Muggle families, and their family addresses were both in the Greater London area, so their parents got along well too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this reason, when the Granger family finished their trip and came to King's Road, Mrs. Holmes had let her go find Sherlock directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Children have their own topics to discuss. We adults shouldn't interfere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, yes, just let Hermione go find Sherlock directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Holmes also chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Granger naturally had no objections—she also liked this observant little boy very much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after hearing from Hermione how he had deduced her and her husband's professions upon their first meeting, she praised Sherlock even more highly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Granger, however, frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since his wife had already given her support, he couldn't say anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Hermione, after getting permission from the adults, she had rushed upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been to Sherlock's house more than once and naturally knew where his room was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mr. Granger felt somewhat melancholy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, he was pulled aside by Mr. Holmes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come with me, there are some interesting things here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting things? Did you buy a new car?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What new car? This is more exciting than that, come quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reluctant Mr. Granger was pulled aside by Mr. Holmes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after experiencing wizard chess, he was quickly attracted by this magical item from the wizarding world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confident in his chess skills, he immediately began a match with Mr. Holmes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was predictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seemingly moving pieces wouldn't obey Mr. Granger's commands at all, leaving him flustered and confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, don't send me there! Can't you see his bishop?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Listen to me, send him. Even if he's sacrificed, it doesn't matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you kill my knight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two grown men played chess on one side, while the two wives sat together quietly drinking tea and chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The summer holidays had just begun when the Granger family of three had gone abroad for vacation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning, they hadn't gone straight home but decided to stop by the Holmes house first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, Mrs. Granger had many travel experiences to share with her good friend Mrs. Holmes. On the other hand, Hermione wanted to ask Sherlock about some magic-related matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had achieved first place in their year at the end of last term, she was well aware that in some subjects, she was more than a little behind Sherlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both in theory and practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, there were still many things she couldn't understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, mother and daughter immediately decided: go to the Holmes house first!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King's Road happened to be on their way home anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Mr. Granger wanted to object, he knew his opposition would be ineffective when his wife and daughter had already reached agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he simply accepted the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, two fathers, two mothers, and two children were perfectly paired off in combinations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Hermione hadn't expected that as soon as she went upstairs, she would witness such a shocking scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Sherlock, after hearing Hermione's words, continued moving his scalpel methodically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if her voice were just an insignificant breeze that couldn't affect him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Sherlock's demeanor, Hermione, who had been somewhat excited about reuniting with her friend after a long separation, immediately felt her expression fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mouth turned downward, and the light in her eyes dimmed somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that lasted only a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, she raised her voice sounding clearly displeased,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sherlock, I'm talking to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she slammed a small box onto the table beside her with a dull thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crossed her arms over her chest and stepped forward angrily, her cheeks flushing slightly with indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this had no effect whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock continued to ignore her completely, not only keeping his eyes fixed on the toad but maintaining his steady hand movements without the slightest pause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sherlock, you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting another moment, just as Hermione was about to explode, Sherlock finally put down his scalpel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first gently moved his neck, which had become somewhat stiff from maintaining the same position for so long, producing audible cracks, then straightened up and spoke unhurriedly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Belgium or the Netherlands?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still angry, Hermione reflexively asked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock stretched his back, which had become stiff from sitting so long, then took a clean white cloth to gently wipe the blood from his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were elegant and composed. As he wiped, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hermione, this journey of yours must have been quite rewarding—from what I can see, you went to Belgium or the Netherlands, didn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though phrased as a question, when it came from Sherlock's mouth, it carried the tone of certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Hermione's anger that was about to flare up again instantly subsided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having spent a full year with Sherlock, she was already very familiar with his abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, she was still shocked by Sherlock's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Sherlock with an uncertain expression, her eyes flashing with amazement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... how do you know? I haven't said a single word to you about it yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, remembering Sherlock's past feats, she quickly looked down to examine herself carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up and down, left and right, front and back, as if trying to see what traces on her body had led Sherlock to make this deduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately... she couldn't see anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, Sherlock had also finished organizing his equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked toward Hermione with steady steps: \"Your skin has darkened—that's the result of prolonged outdoor exposure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And your dress, shoes, and luggage... they all told me this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can see you've cleaned them, but without using spells, traces inevitably remain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, this mud obviously didn't come from London—that's beyond doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, its color is dark, and it contains fine sand particles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indicates it's near the estuaries of multiple rivers and the ocean, repeatedly washed and infiltrated by seawater, making the soil extremely high in salt content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drying, not only does the color become this dark, but the sand particles also adhere due to salt crystallization, creating this unique texture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with your travel dates, only the border region of Belgium and the Netherlands fits these conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, there's your coat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned close to Hermione and lowered his head slightly, gently sniffing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This action made Hermione's face turn slightly red, the blush quickly spreading from her cheeks to her ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, her attention was captured by Sherlock's next words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read more chapters on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FMikeyMuse\u003C\u002Fp>",1703,"2026-06-10T06:27:24.273Z",1,"novelbin.me","be4cd9a712a4c2ffb7ec4f2f6d5471812d4e5618e050957eb7fdcfc9c8ba36b7","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-134","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-132",637,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-cover.jpg"]
