What a coincidence, so am I. Shall we go together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Going to the classroom? Oh my, I just left something behind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Going to the Great Hall for dinner? I'm a bit hungry too. Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were Professors Flitwick, Sprout, or Lupin, it would be fine—Harry's interactions with them went smoothly enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall was a bit awkward, but not too bad for Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whenever he encountered Professor Snape, it was disastrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's mouth seemed infected. Harry felt every step with him was torture, yet he had no way to refuse his escort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, he tried as much as possible to stay close to Sherlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he discovered that as long as Sherlock was present, Professor Snape would restrain himself somewhat—though he didn't know why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the professors, Head Boy Percy practically followed him everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it wasn't a nice way to put it, Harry really felt like he was now living like a particularly proud police dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's Mrs. Weasley's request.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Harry complained about Percy following him around all day, Sherlock stated his deduced answer. \"She really cares about you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That may be true, but Sherlock, this feeling is just too awful. I really...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry thought for a long time but didn't know how to describe his current feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be patient, my friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock patted Harry's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first Quidditch match is approaching. If you maintain this restless state of mind, you're unlikely to defeat Slytherin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what I know of you; you've always taken this very seriously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I take it seriously! This is Wood's last chance to win the championship trophy. I don't want to disappoint him again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry said excitedly. \"You know, Sherlock, just now, Professor McGonagall called me to her office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me guess—she first felt relieved that she agreed to let you go to Hogsmeade on Halloween eve, then suggested she didn't want you participating in evening Quidditch practice?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly! She told me Black is coming after me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also told her about Mr. Weasley's warning—which also greatly relieved her, saying it was fortunate I went to Hogsmeade, so Black came up empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she thinks when I'm training on the pitch, there are only team members around me. This is very exposed behavior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That may be so, but your expression tells me you've already convinced her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock laughed. \"Professor McGonagall's love for Quidditch is no less than that of your interesting captain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me think—she must have arranged for a professor to supervise. Madam Hooch, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry sighed. \"I'm not at all surprised now that you know about this, but even so, I still hate this feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock, do you have any solution?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Harry's hopeful gaze, Sherlock stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go? Where?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To see our esteemed Professor Dumbledore. It's time to get to the bottom of this matter. It will help you understand your current situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just the two of us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, he knew quite well he was powerless to change anything about his current situation, so he was just venting to Sherlock and releasing his pent-up frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't expect his friend to be so decisive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's enough. If you're willing, you can share with the others after we return.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry naturally had no objection to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as soon as Sherlock and he walked out of the common room door, Percy immediately followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you going?\" he asked alertly. \"You don't have Astronomy class tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was at a loss for words. \"Percy, how do you know what classes I have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I got your schedule from Ron,\" Percy said proudly. \"Caring for fellow students is the Head Boy's unavoidable responsibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and tell me, where are you going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head Boy Weasley, we're going to the Headmaster's office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Sherlock address him this way, Percy instinctively puffed out his chest, and his Head Boy badge seemed to shine brighter at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he immediately asked. \"The Headmaster's office? Sherlock, what are you going there for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don't know either,\" Sherlock said with a puzzled expression. \"The Headmaster notified us to go find him. What, is Head Boy Weasley planning to come along too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wh-what?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Sherlock say this, Percy's eyes widened. He thought for a moment and finally made up his mind to continue following the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the three hadn't walked far when Professor Hagrid appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sherlock, Harry, why aren't you in your common room? What are you doing here so late?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor, Sherlock said Professor Dumbledore has business with them. Do you know about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percy answered first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor Dumbledore... I don't know about that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid looked at Sherlock, who looked back at him with very sincere eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha, but I happen to be going to see Professor Dumbledore too. You can come with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid said, slapping his hands on Sherlock and Harry's backs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock stood steadily in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry, caught off guard, stumbled forward two steps before steadying himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, then I can relax!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Percy said solemnly, as if he had personally handed Sherlock and Harry over to Hagrid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Percy left, Harry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Percy, he'd rather be with Hagrid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing his shoulder, he asked. \"Hagrid, what does Professor Dumbledore want you for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, it's about the Black search. I was at the Whomping Willow... no, I can't tell you about this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid spoke halfway before suddenly realizing something and slapping himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why can't I control this mouth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock and Harry exchanged glances, both speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why couldn't he control his mouth? Didn't he know in his heart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, neither was interested in prying into Hagrid's secrets at this moment, so they didn't ask further and followed him along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Hagrid's guidance, the two soon arrived at the gargoyle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid recited the password, and the three rode the spiral staircase up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the entire process, Hagrid didn't doubt for a moment the possibility that Sherlock might be lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Harry terribly nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All along, Sherlock had said he wouldn't lie to people in most situations—unless necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, this was now one of those necessary situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was, what if they were discovered later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Harry was overthinking, Hagrid knocked on the bronze knocker. \"Headmaster, it's me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in, Rubeus!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore's voice sounded, and Hagrid immediately pushed open the door and walked in first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Sherlock follow without hesitation, Harry gritted his teeth and followed them in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on previous experiences, even if he knew Sherlock was lying, if there was good reason, Headmaster Dumbledore shouldn't be angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his personality was very good, not like the stern Professor McGonagall...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Harry saw Professor McGonagall sitting opposite Dumbledore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry: Σ(°△°|||)︴\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh my god!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why was Professor McGonagall here too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was it—we are done for!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I ran into Sherlock and Harry on the way, so I brought them along!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Hagrid's words, Professor McGonagall's gaze instantly became sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harry, I already spoke to you today about Sirius Black. Why are you still wandering the corridors?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you, Mr. Holmes, you should both be in your common room at this hour!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Professor McGonagall's sharp gaze, Harry immediately became nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock, however, remained calm. \"Professor McGonagall, we want to know about Sirius Black.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you already know about this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall frowned. \"Potter told me that Mr. Arthur Weasley already explained the situation to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's correct, but I need more detailed information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock turned to Dumbledore. \"I want to know what relationship Black has with Harry, and how close his relationship with Harry's father James really was.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore's deep gaze looked at Sherlock through his half-moon spectacles. After pondering for a moment, he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you know now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Er... I don't know much information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, I only know that Sirius Black had a very good relationship with Harry's father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he played an unpleasant role in Voldemort's murder of Harry. Harry's parents' deaths have much to do with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everyone says Black would sit in the second chair if Voldemort rose again, in my view, his camp switch seems too abrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's too much missing information about what happened over a dozen years ago, just like the Chamber opened fifty years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I need your help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock looked intently at Dumbledore, who appeared somewhat curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to know this information now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Originally it wasn't this urgent but Black has already come to the school. I believe it's necessary to figure this out as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've decided to investigate this matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't just stand by and watch him hurt my friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Sherlock's words, Dumbledore showed a gratified smile. He turned to Professor McGonagall. \"Minerva, you tell them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read more than 40 chapters on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FMikeyMuse\u003C\u002Fp>",1513,"2026-06-10T06:27:24.274Z",1,"novelbin.me","641f3c271b0a4ed5a0783daf444006c5b8789ab1fa8fc1c2ed8f7cbf9a61e537","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-315","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-313",637,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-cover.jpg"]
