He was about to open it when he heard Sherlock say: \"If I were you, I wouldn't touch it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron immediately pulled his hand back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if to validate Sherlock's words, just as the owls that had delivered the package flapped their wings and flew away, another owl flew in and dropped a letter precisely on top of the package.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry picked up the letter and was about to tear it open when Ron stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Sherlock: \"Can I open the letter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was somewhat amused and exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron's behavior was typical overcorrection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Open it. I believe this is Professor McGonagall's gift to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Harry no longer cared how Sherlock had determined this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With trembling hands, he tore open the letter. A few short lines were written inside:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not open the package at the table. It contains your new Nimbus Two Thousand, but I don't want everybody knowing you've got a broomstick or they'll all want one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oliver Wood will meet you tonight on the Quidditch field at seven o'clock for your first training session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way, Mr. Holmes's package is also here. Please remember to give it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sherlock, Professor McGonagall says your package was sent along too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry forced himself to contain his excitement and handed the letter to Sherlock and Ron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock was somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had deduced from the package's shape and weight that this was Professor McGonagall's gift to Harry, he hadn't expected her to send his mail along as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nimbus Two Thousand!\" Ron sighed enviously. \"I've never even touched one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time you can touch it all you want,\" Harry said, then turned to Sherlock curiously. \"What's in your package?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A violin sent by my family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock's voice was calm, but Harry and Ron were directly shocked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say? Σ(っ°Д°;)っ\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can play the violin too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowledgeable, skilled in boxing and fencing, and now he said he could play violin too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't this range of skills a bit too broad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock didn't answer directly but asked instead: \"By the way, would you find violin playing too noisy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry was the first to shake his head: \"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lived with the Dursleys, what noise hadn't he experienced?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just Aunt Petunia's daily banging on the cupboard door was already excessive, not to mention Uncle Vernon's shouting and Dudley's wailing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron was somewhat hesitant: \"That depends on how well it's played. If it's good, it's as beautiful as music, but if it's bad...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha, then there's no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock interrupted him before he could finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and Ron looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he that confident?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three chatted briefly before quickly leaving, mainly because Harry and Ron wanted to find a quiet place to open the package and have a good look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after just two steps, Sherlock stopped and looked back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sherlock, what's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry couldn't help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock looked away: \"Nothing, let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had noticed someone following them, but after brief consideration, he ignored it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was destined to be futile anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the owls had dropped the package, Malfoy had been watching Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like everyone else, he was full of curiosity about that long, thin package.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when he saw the three leaving, he immediately brought Crabbe and Goyle and began tailing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the package was opened, Malfoy was practically beside himself with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone knew, first-year students weren't allowed to bring broomsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before school started, he had spent considerable effort trying to secretly bring a broomstick to school, but ultimately failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now with such an opportunity, he would never let it pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, Snape already hated Harry, and with such an opportunity, wouldn't he punish him severely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expulsion might be unlikely, but detention would definitely be possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Sherlock was indeed very capable, now that they were caught red-handed, no matter how skilled he was, it would be useless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy never expected that when he found Professor Snape, Snape, who usually treated him fairly well, would scold him with a dark face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Draco, I advise you to mind your own business!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was going on?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Sherlock even needing to act, this matter had failed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he know that this broomstick was a gift from Professor McGonagall to Harry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock's words had ultimately had an effect—she didn't want to always be suppressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with Wood's strong recommendation, Professor McGonagall had finally paid out of her own pocket to purchase the latest model broomstick for Harry—the Nimbus 2000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be safe, she had informed the other professors in advance, naturally including Snape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when Malfoy eagerly came to report, Snape only felt he was being stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy returned defeated, and the confused Crabbe and Goyle hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, Harry and Ron had finished examining the broomstick and violin and were preparing to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Crabbe and Goyle wanted to stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were also worried about being beaten up by Sherlock again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as their leader Malfoy returned, both their faces immediately showed sinister grins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Potter, you're finished!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let them go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crabbe and Goyle almost thought they had misheard. Crabbe couldn't help saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Draco, he's carrying a broomstick, and it's the latest model Nimbus 2000! Didn't you say before...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said let them go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy roared in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, even without Sherlock's explanation, Harry and Ron understood what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the angry and confused Malfoy, Harry almost laughed out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron wouldn't miss the opportunity and mocked him mercilessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Malfoy, your Comet 260 is decent enough, but it's not in the same league as a Nimbus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malfoy was submissive when facing Sherlock, but when facing Ron, he struck back hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up, Weasley! You can't afford half of that broomstick's handle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I suppose you and your brothers would have to save up twig by twig to buy a complete broomstick, wouldn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say? Say that again if you dare!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sherlock watched them face off and couldn't help shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Childish.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though thinking about it, this was exactly the mental state eleven-year-old boys should have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to them, he was the abnormal one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then Hermione arrived, and catching sight of Professor Flitwick in the distance, Sherlock knew this group wouldn't be able to start a real fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply left the others and followed Hermione.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To give Hermione flying training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the third matter occupying Sherlock's time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said that Hermione's flying talent exceeded Sherlock's expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read more chapters on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FMikeyMuse\u003C\u002Fp>",1203,"2026-06-10T06:27:23.966Z",1,"novelbin.me","bd7382d0902331f8284b83a9d7e2ea146d3d8812f8e0a4ebba36899c5d563ff7","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-45","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-43",637,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-cover.jpg"]
