close friend of Sherlock Holmes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having all these titles, when his communications were cut off, he was still helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At times like this, he couldn't help but miss the days when he was by his good friend Sherlock's side even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Sherlock were here, he would probably have thought of a solution long ago, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or if only he could contact him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Sherlock knew about his current situation, even remote guidance would surely provide a solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he couldn't make contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also what made Harry angriest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was angry at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a wizard who had grown up in a Muggle family, he had actually forgotten to ask Sherlock and Hermione for their home phone numbers before the holidays!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, when he spent Christmas at Sherlock's house last year, Hermione had given him her family's phone number—the purpose was for him to call her when Mycroft appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later he didn't call Hermione, and he forgot the phone number as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, whenever he thought about this, Harry wanted to laugh at his own stupidity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having only been in contact with the magical world for a year, he had become far too dependent on magical world communication methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry had seriously reflected on this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finally determined that it was mainly because his previous life with the Dursleys had been truly terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when Hagrid told him he was actually a wizard, he quickly identified with this identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially during his year at Hogwarts, his identity as the savior of the Wizarding world gave him a completely different feeling from the Muggle world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sense of identification with his wizard identity had grown stronger and stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he had forgotten even the most basic common sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now the milk was spilled, even being angry was just helpless rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, Harry could only try his best to imitate Sherlock's way of thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought about this more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What would Sherlock do if he encountered this situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry thought for a long time but was still at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he found that he simply couldn't put himself in Sherlock's mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the other person was his friend, he had to admit—that guy just wasn't normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Harry was wondering whether he should put on his invisibility cloak and track Hedwig one more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things suddenly took a turn for the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This morning, Uncle Vernon suddenly announced to the family that he might make the biggest deal of his life today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because he had successfully invited a wealthy builder and his wife to come to their house for dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Vernon certainly wasn't being charitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His purpose was to secure a large order from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, when Sherlock and Harry had come to Privet Drive together during last Christmas holidays, Sherlock had already deduced this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Harry had thought this matter was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until he returned to Privet Drive for summer vacation that he learned the builder had stood them up for some unknown reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Uncle Vernon was furious, faced with this situation, he could only rage helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The customer was king, especially such a super big client.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, during this recent period, Uncle Vernon had used all his skills and finally got that big client to agree to come to their house for dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Dursley family naturally took this matter very seriously and prepared carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this, Uncle Vernon even promised his usually unwelcome nephew:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Harry stayed in his bedroom without making a sound, pretending he wasn't home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Uncle Vernon would personally drive Harry out tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to chase Hedwig, but to go directly to Diagon Alley in London.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, Diagon Alley!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Uncle Vernon thought chasing a flying owl by car was too stupid, Aunt Petunia had given this suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That friend of yours called Holmes... or Hulmes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't he say last time he came to our place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those hair growth potions and weight-loss pills were bought at Diagon Alley, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That place isn't far from here, and you can completely go to the place where he bought those things to find help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was both surprised and delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he couldn't track Hedwig, if he could go to Diagon Alley, that would be much more suitable than chasing an owl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, who knew where the person intercepting the owl would strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, owls could fly through the air without terrain obstacles, and tracking a flying animal by car was quite difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Diagon Alley's location was fixed—it was right behind the Leaky Cauldron and wouldn't run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, as Aunt Petunia had said, once he got there, he would definitely be able to get help from many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the Leaky Cauldron's landlord or the shopkeepers in Diagon Alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having visited the wand shop again last Christmas, Harry felt he and Mr. Ollivander could be considered acquaintances, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why hadn't he thought of this solution?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How stupid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, since Uncle Vernon was willing to help, Harry was naturally happy to cooperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't wanted to meet any Mr. and Mrs. Mason anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, according to Uncle Vernon, the Masons didn't know about him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let this situation continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely for this reason that when Uncle Vernon was rehearsing tonight's arrangements with Aunt Petunia and cousin Dudley, Harry was surprisingly watching with great interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though every time Uncle Vernon assigned him a task, it was \"I stay in my bedroom, don't make a sound, and pretend I'm not home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard Dudley say, \"Mr. Mason, the teacher asked us to write about someone we admire most, so I wrote about you,\" Harry didn't even hide his head under the table and laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was surprised by this himself—it was simply incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Harry even felt that Dudley, who was saying this, looked somewhat handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This proved three things:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was in a very good mood. Dudley's foundation wasn't actually bad. The special weight-loss pills really worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry, in his excellent mood, not only accompanied the Dursley family in completing the evening's guest rehearsal but also volunteered to do chores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cleaning windows, washing the car, trimming the lawn, tidying the flower beds, pruning and watering the roses, repainting the garden bench...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When spreading fertilizer in the flower beds, he was exhausted with back pain, and sweat kept flowing down his cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, thinking that he would be able to reconnect with his friends from the magic school tomorrow, he was extraordinarily happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this joy that greatly reduced the fatigue from working and even continued into the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Mrs. Dursley saw Harry's exhausted appearance, her expression was somewhat complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nobody asked you to do it to this extent... really...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she quickly pointed with her hand and said sternly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go eat quickly! The guests are about to arrive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry looked in the direction she pointed and saw that dinner had already been set on the kitchen table for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it couldn't be called abundant, it was passable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This surprised him somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally thought he would only get a few pieces of bread and cheese.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing that Aunt Petunia was already wearing a light orange cocktail dress, Harry said sincerely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aunt Petunia, you look really beautiful today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even cousin Dudley could seem handsome, then his mother's sister could naturally become beautiful too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Petunia looked at Harry with some surprise, then snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop the nonsense and eat quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry nodded and quickly demonstrated the skills he had learned from his good friend Ron, devouring his dinner like a whirlwind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished eating, Aunt Petunia took away his plate and told him to hurry upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry naturally complied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He keenly noticed that when Aunt Petunia turned around, she was even humming a tune, so she seemed to be in a good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was also in a good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When passing the living room door, he greeted Uncle Vernon and Dudley, who were dressed in suits and bow ties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dudley waved at him, while Uncle Vernon said fiercely,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get upstairs quickly! Remember, boy—if you dare make a sound...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guarantee that absolutely won't happen...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Uncle Vernon could finish his threat, Harry quickly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just kidding, this was the opportunity to reconnect with the magical world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he possibly do something so stupid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible, absolutely impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry tiptoed all the way to his bedroom door, quietly slipped in, and closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He prepared to throw himself onto the bed and sleep until dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have a habit of snoring anyway, and he could conveniently wish his uncle success in getting the order in his dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as he was about to lie down, he abruptly stopped his forward momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because someone was already sitting on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unexpected visitor's sudden arrival was surprising enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the visitor's appearance clearly, Harry almost screamed out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But remembering that Uncle Vernon's guests were about to arrive, he forcibly held it in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unknown creature sitting on his bed was small in stature, with a pair of prominent green eyes the size of tennis balls, a thin and long nose, and two bat-like large ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its uncovered skin was somewhat similar to the goblins he had seen at Gringotts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this, it was wearing a tattered pillowcase with several holes cut in the arms and legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if it were being used as clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had never seen one before, Harry could tell at a glance that it wasn't human!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly are you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry almost blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly realized that saying this wasn't very polite, so he changed his words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean... who are you, and what are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unexpected visitor heard Harry's question, slid down from the bed, and bowed deeply to Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The angle was almost ninety degrees, with his thin nose nearly touching the carpet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he from Japan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Harry couldn't help but frown deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Harry Potter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visitor immediately called out Harry's name, then introduced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the house-elf Dobby. Dobby has always wanted to meet you, Mr. Potter... Meeting you today is truly an honor...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry responded verbally, but still didn't understand what a house-elf was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, he couldn't help but envy his good friend Hermione.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were here, she would definitely know what this was—she seemed to have eaten the textbooks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read more than 30 chapters on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FMikeyMuse\u003C\u002Fp>",1796,"2026-06-10T06:27:24.273Z",1,"novelbin.me","bd52faf0678b7c3ec6b36810cd473c610f406075ce7c510b6c4a6cb9cc2bd08b","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-138","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-136",637,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-cover.jpg"]
