Harry had originally wanted to wipe it away, but found his right hand held brandy and his left held chocolate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, both Cho Chang and Ginny reached out simultaneously to wipe the sweat from Harry's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two then looked at each other, their gazes were somewhat strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Harry also felt uncomfortable, his strong curiosity overwhelmed everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sherlock, what exactly happened just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's talk about your condition first,\" Sherlock looked at the pale-faced Harry. \"Something's wrong with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry took a deep breath and described the screaming sounds he'd heard and that terrifying feeling of helpless terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock frowned again upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cho Chang thoughtfully explained to Harry what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Harry heard about the events that had occurred in these short few minutes, he felt increasingly embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for Professor Lupin and Sherlock, everyone had been in poor condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one had lost composure like he had—falling from his seat, convulsing all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, he still felt weak and powerless, as if he'd just recovered from a bad cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Ginny, who had performed worst, had only shivered violently—but she could still wipe his sweat, making Harry feel even more embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Professor Lupin returned. He paused at the door and said half-jokingly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't poison that chocolate...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this professor who had saved him say this, Harry felt a bit embarrassed and took a bite of the chocolate in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very surprised to suddenly feel a warm current flow toward his toes and fingertips, driving away the chill the Dementor had brought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Harry's expression, Sherlock immediately realized something and also took a bite of the chocolate Lupin had given him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although not as obvious as Harry's reaction, he still felt the effect of that warm current.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparing its effect with that of brandy, Sherlock found each had its merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock looked at Lupin, finding the latter also looking at him with approving eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll be at Hogwarts in ten minutes,\" he looked around, then focused on Harry. \"Harry, are you feeling better?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Harry was somewhat surprised that Lupin knew his name, he didn't ask, just said embarrassedly. \"I'm fine now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next short ten minutes, Harry finally understood that the monster that had made him faint was a Dementor—guard of Azkaban.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd only heard about them before, but facing one directly, he now knew how terrifying they were. But he still couldn't accept why he was the only one who had fainted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cho Chang and Ginny didn't return to their own compartment, but sat on both side of Harry, both looking at him with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron looked at Ginny, who had squeezed between him and Harry, then at Cho Chang on Harry's other side by the door, not knowing what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he feel like he shouldn't be here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until the train stopped at Hogsmeade station that the two girls got up to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harry, it's okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, Cho Chang patted Harry's hand. \"Once we get to the castle, a good night's sleep will fix everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny, when facing Harry, couldn't yet be as relaxed and natural as Cho Chang, but she also comforted him with a few words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students began getting off the train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like last year, this was again a night of pouring rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, Harry skillfully cast buffs on everyone around him—the Impervious Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cho taught me this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his friends' surprised gazes, Harry said somewhat embarrassedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone smiled knowingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This did help dispel much of the shadow the Dementor had cast over Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First years, this way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar voice rang out again. Rubeus Hagrid, with his towering 11-and-a-half-foot frame, appeared at the station just like the previous two years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year, Ginny didn't need to follow Hagrid to the boats either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And although the train had the Dementor incident en route, it arrived later than normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid only had time to wave and greet Sherlock and the others before leading the first-years away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like last year, all students except first-years came to a rough, muddy path outside, where over a hundred carriages pulled by Thestrals were already waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only extremely few people like Sherlock and Luna could see them; others could only guess these carriages were driven by magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like last year, it was still Sherlock, Harry, Hermione, and Ron sharing one carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry, having eaten chocolate, felt much better than before, but still felt weak and listless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione and Ron kept glancing at Harry, seemingly worried he might collapse again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this didn't happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their luck was better than last year's. By the time the carriage reached Hogwarts castle, the rain had stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four followed the crowd up the stone steps, through the magnificent oak doors, into the spacious and deep entrance hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Great Hall's ceiling was still enchanted, perfectly recreating the real outdoor weather—a dark sky thick with black clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a voice suddenly called out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holmes, Potter, Granger, I need to see the three of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and Hermione turned around in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock raised an eyebrow, already beginning to instinctively deduce the reason she sought the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall's shout in the crowd naturally attracted others' attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under everyone's surprised gazes, Sherlock took the lead, walking toward Professor McGonagall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and Hermione exchanged glances and followed closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron watched his three friends abandon him and leave, standing there stunned with a \"the train left without me\" expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to be so nervous—I just want to have a chat with you in my office,\" Professor McGonagall said, glancing at Ron. \"Weasley, you go over there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Professor McGonagall's words, Ron could only put away his expression and follow the others toward the Great Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock, Harry, and Hermione followed Professor McGonagall through the entrance hall, up the marble staircase, then along the corridor to her office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't Sherlock's first time in Professor McGonagall's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around, noting it was still the same as last time—small but tidy, with a warm, welcoming fire burning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Professor McGonagall indicated for the three to sit down, she also took her seat behind the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze swept back and forth among the three, finally settling on Harry, and she spoke directly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor Lupin sent an owl ahead, saying you were unwell on the train, Potter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read more than 40 chapters on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FMikeyMuse\u003C\u002Fp>",1600,"2026-06-10T06:27:24.274Z",1,"novelbin.me","46b78564f0632a6c2bf17421832cec6870b89478539406cb593213f0587bf207","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-285","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-283",637,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-cover.jpg"]
