After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sherlock, could you... teach me to fly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, she looked at Sherlock somewhat anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been just after school started, or half a month ago, or even a week ago, she wouldn't have made such an abrupt request.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, at that time, the two of them could at most be considered \"people who knew each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to other classmates, they just knew each other earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her relationship with Sherlock naturally wasn't as close as Harry and Sherlock's, or even as close as that glutton Ron's—after all, they were roommates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But over this past month, every weekend she had spent in the library with Sherlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after last weekend, she felt she and Sherlock could be considered friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they had both started addressing each other by first names rather than surnames, hadn't they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another reason was that she truly felt Sherlock was the same type of person as her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione believed that her poor performance in flying class was more due to psychological factors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, she naturally thought of Sherlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sherlock, what did Granger want with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sherlock returned to the dining hall, Harry asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She must also want to join the Quidditch house team,\" Ron said with certainty. \"Hmph, too bad those things she learned from books can't teach her to fly well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're right, so she wants me to teach her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew it... wait, what did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron stared wide-eyed at Sherlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was also somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione Granger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That little girl who always looked so proud?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was really hard to imagine her asking a classmate for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking that the person she was asking for help was Sherlock Holmes, Harry felt relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So did you agree to help her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron's eyes widened even more, and he looked incredulous: \"You actually agreed! No... how could you agree!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock didn't pay attention to Ron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When someone close to him made a request, Sherlock was naturally willing to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, helping Hermione improve her flying skills was just a small matter for him, not requiring much effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His energy was mainly spent on other aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been at the magic school for a month, Sherlock had long figured out Hogwarts' structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention first-year students—even expanding the scope to all teachers and students in the school, few could know it better than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only people who surpassed him in this regard were the caretaker Filch and the Weasley twins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, this would be the time for him to go on adventures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Magic was, after all, a completely new version that Sherlock had never encountered before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this version, many things couldn't be analyzed and judged using the scientific thinking he had grown accustomed to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans cannot understand things beyond their imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this, he had become one of the two freshmen who most loved asking questions, along with Hermione.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, for this reason, Hermione thought Sherlock was the same type of person as her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in fact, although both loved asking questions, their essence was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione's questions were about the courses themselves, sticking to the subject matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock's questions often extended beyond the classroom, full of thoughts and research about magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, although both were considered good students for loving to ask questions, Hermione loved both asking and answering, while Sherlock only asked without answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, when questioned by teaching professors, he could always answer perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a month, Sherlock had developed his own understanding of the wizarding world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to begin deeper contact with the school's teachers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helping Harry join the Quidditch house team was the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friday morning, after Potions class where Snape had routinely deducted points from Gryffindor, Sherlock took the nervous yet excited Harry and Ron to find Professor McGonagall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? You three want to join the Quidditch house team?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't easy for new students to see the Deputy Headmistress, but with Harry Potter's golden name, the three successfully met Professor McGonagall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when McGonagall heard their purpose, she couldn't help but show a surprised expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, only these two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock pointed at Harry and Ron, indicating he was just accompanying them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... this is simply ridiculous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New students haven't even mastered the most basic flying, and you want to join the house team?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you trying to break your necks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor McGonagall was known for being fair and strict. As Deputy Headmistress, her deterrent effect among students was even higher than Dumbledore, the Headmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking sternly now, she made Harry and Ron tremble, afraid she would say \"Ten points from Gryffindor\" next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the originally unconfident Harry—even the ambitious Ron became timid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both turned their pleading gazes toward Sherlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>McGonagall was experienced and immediately understood the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Holmes, is this your idea?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze became somewhat dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the pre-school phase, Sherlock had already left a deep impression on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Sorting Ceremony, he had become a Hatstall like herself years ago—something that happened once every few decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After formal classes began, Sherlock's performance was amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just his understanding and application of Transfiguration even exceeded some senior students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And his cat-petting technique...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, for various reasons, Professor McGonagall viewed Sherlock with special attention, treating him as a focus of care like Hermione.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to the worry-free Hermione, Sherlock was severely unbalanced as a student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In some professors' classes, he actively asked questions, even making it difficult for teachers to leave after class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In some courses, he just attended lectures, leaving immediately after class without any attachment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even worse, he would simply skip some classes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Professor Quirrell's Defense Against the Dark Arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave McGonagall quite a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Sherlock could regain the points deducted for skipping classes from other sources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the long run, this behavior would inevitably bring bad influence to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Defense Against the Dark Arts was a required, not elective, course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If everyone ignored school rules like him, deciding whether to attend classes based on personal preference, wouldn't the school be in chaos?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the mischievous Weasley twins weren't like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>McGonagall had originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk with Sherlock, but unexpectedly, he came to her today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More surprisingly, he was actually encouraging Harry and Ron to join the house team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a perfect opportunity to teach him a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While McGonagall was thinking, Sherlock had already spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was my suggestion—I believe Harry's displayed talent is sufficient to break the rules.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the gaze that could make Harry and Ron tremble, Sherlock said something that pained McGonagall:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor, you wouldn't want Gryffindor to always be suppressed by other houses, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read more chapters on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FMikeyMuse\u003C\u002Fp>",1150,"2026-06-10T06:27:23.966Z",1,"novelbin.me","77f3b08390b05dd1afc4a1315a481d5b4e43553b3f25ed5a6fbdce57d8f75282","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-40","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-38",637,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-cover.jpg"]
