Everything's going smoothly now—look, everyone's having a great time—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a student, you can certainly think that way, but as a professor, you can't just look at results and ignore the process.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock said mercilessly, \"For a new course, especially a dangerous one, the correct approach is gradual progression from easy to difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current situation is only due to your good luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced again at Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young pair were still sitting shoulder to shoulder against the large tree, quietly watching Crabbe and Goyle deal with a hippogriff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, neither had managed to pass the first stage of making eye contact with the hippogriff. The reason was simple: both Crabbe and Goyle couldn't last five seconds before blinking and failing. After multiple identical attempts, the hippogriff no longer trusted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Sherlock's gaze, Hagrid asked somewhat confused, \"Is there a problem with them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you considered the possibility of a student getting injured in your class?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Sherlock's words, Hagrid's eyes suddenly widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock sighed, \"You really haven't considered this problem at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I just wanted to make the first lesson exciting...\" Hagrid said somewhat sadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Choosing harmless but interesting creatures could also make the lesson exciting, my dear Professor Hagrid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock felt he needed to be more clear, or Hagrid wouldn't understand what he was saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Puffskeins would be an excellent choice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Puffskeins?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Sherlock's words, Hagrid immediately pictured small, soft balls in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately began shaking his head repeatedly. \"Those things aren't cute at all! You wouldn't like them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock had long known that Hagrid's aesthetic sense differed from normal people, so he wasn't surprised by this response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't think so. Compared to hippogriffs, more people would like Puffskeins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Hagrid still wanted to argue, Sherlock sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I'm only offering suggestions. Whether to do this or not is still your decision. After all, Professor Hagrid, you are the teacher of this course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Sherlock's words, Hagrid finally fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first Care of Magical Creatures lesson ended without major incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About a third of the class had enjoyed the experience of flying through the sky on a hippogriff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was quite a high percentage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the little Snakes who had initially looked down on Hagrid were no longer as aggressive as they'd been at the start, after successfully flying on hippogriffs through the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was also related to their spiritual leader Malfoy being out of commission this lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after class, they were surprised to discover that the relationship between Malfoy and Pansy seemed much better than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since first year, Pansy had liked clinging to Malfoy, but back then Malfoy had always maintained a somewhat distant attitude toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy had even shown more interest in Harry than in her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after entering third year this year, Malfoy seemed to be accepting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After puzzling over it, they felt relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was adolescence, it was perfectly normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, Hagrid's first lesson could be considered satisfactory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those who hadn't succeeded at all were somewhat unhappy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Neville.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had successfully completed the first step, during the second step, the hippogriff simply refused to bow to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neville's voice sounded extremely aggrieved, and even his accent had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why won't it bow to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think it might be because it saw through the timidity in your heart, Neville.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Sherlock's guidance and example, Hermione had also become experienced, and hearing this, she immediately offered helpful advice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The hippogriff you chose never looked away the entire time, which shows it acknowledged your sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But precisely because of that, it discovered you lack the confidence to control it, so it won't let you ride.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is... is that so?\" Neville showed a surprised expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think that's right. Remember flying lessons in first year? You were the same way then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—okay, okay, next time I'll definitely—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Neville, don't say 'next time definitely'—I've heard Ron say that countless times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, hey, Harry, if you're talking about Neville, talk about Neville—what's it got to do with me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you really do say 'next time definitely' every time, don't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing much, I'm just stating a fact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, now you're talking like Sherlock! My temper won't stand for this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Ron and Harry argue, Neville, who had originally started the topic, carefully tried to mediate between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione shook her head and ignored the three, turning to Sherlock to ask,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say to Hagrid today? Why did he look so dejected after class?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've spotted the key point, Hermione.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock looked at Hermione with approving eyes. \"I just told him that hippogriffs weren't suitable for the first lesson.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean he set the bar too high from the start?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione thought aloud, \"Now that I think about it, that's true. If you and Harry hadn't stepped up for him, he would have been in quite an embarrassing situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not only that—if someone had actually done something to anger the hippogriffs during class, that would have been trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, with Hagrid's abilities, the students wouldn't be in mortal danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But having a student bleeding incident in the very first lesson wouldn't be good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock's gray eyes sparkled as if he had already foreseen another possible outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we had been injured, that would be one thing, but if a Slytherin had been hurt, my friend, imagine what would happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione's mind worked quickly. She mentally played out a scenario where Malfoy was clawed by a hippogriff, first she felt a moment of satisfaction, then immediate dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He would definitely make a huge fuss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione said without hesitation, \"Malfoy's father has always resented being kicked off the Board of Governors—he'd definitely use this opportunity for revenge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock snapped his fingers. \"So, for Hagrid, the most important thing now is stability first, steady progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after he's firmly recognized in Care of Magical Creatures can he share his unique aesthetic sense with students.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're absolutely right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione first nodded in agreement, then said enthusiastically, \"Perhaps he should have used Flobberworms or something for the first lesson— What's wrong, Sherlock?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Hermione suddenly noticed Sherlock looking at her strangely and couldn't help blushing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, her skin was still tanned, so it wasn't noticeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hermione also reminded herself silently not to blush at every little thing anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, once this term ended, her skin tone should return to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock looked at Hermione: \"My suggestion to Hagrid was Puffskeins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione: (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Oh no, my aesthetic sense seemed to have been influenced by Hagrid too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had Flobberworms been the first thing to come to my mind?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione fell into deep self-doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By Tuesday morning, they saw Hagrid again in the Great Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still wearing that long moleskin overcoat, absentmindedly swinging a rooster with one large hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he spotted Sherlock, he stopped his journey toward the staff table and said enthusiastically:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today I'm teaching fifth-years, and it's still hippogriffs for the first lesson. They should be fine, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For fifth-year students, that choice is just right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, Sherlock, I'll have to see if they perform better than you did!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled cheerfully at the group, as if he had already recovered from yesterday's disappointment, and headed toward the staff table still swinging the rooster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does he have to be holding something at all times?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron watched Hagrid sit down next to Professor McGonagall, still swinging his rooster, and asked somewhat confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry also shook his head, Hagrid's aesthetic sense was truly beyond his appreciation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ron, what classes do we have today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me see—um, for compulsory courses, we have Herbology in the morning, then History of Magic and Astronomy in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Electives—?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron suddenly punched Harry, \"I don't have any electives today—fantastic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Ron cheer and continuously wink at him, Harry felt somewhat speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew what Ron meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had chosen only Divination and Care of Magical Creatures last year like Ron, then he too would be free today like Ron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he had chosen his own path, he had to see it through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The schedule's overlapping again,\" Harry frowned, ignoring Ron's childish attitude. \"Muggle Studies and Arithmancy—Sherlock, which class should we attend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read more than 40 chapters on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FMikeyMuse\u003C\u002Fp>",1456,"2026-06-10T06:27:24.274Z",1,"novelbin.me","0efe11511e49e17c0e97fbe15fff8c8fc5f3c1932996ef6f4248c666eeafa63a","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-297","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-295",637,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-cover.jpg"]
