Muggles like Chang Wei could easily integrate into the magical world after marrying Chang Dali.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Asian culture, It seems you're either a wizard or you're not. Nobody seem to care whether you're pure-blood, half-blood, or Muggle-born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clash between different cultures was quite a novel topic for the local wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chang Wei was an eloquent speaker, and his descriptions captivated the audience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as the conversation continued, more and more guests arrived at Grimmauld Place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Mrs. Holmes had said earlier, leaving guests unattended would be impolite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So as hosts, Sirius and Harry, though very interested in this topic, could only reluctantly leave to greet the new arrivals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cho Chang noticed Harry's somewhat reluctant expression and immediately smiled at him: \"If you're interested in these things, I'll tell you about them later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm-hmm.\" Harry nodded repeatedly at her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Ginny's brow furrowed immediately, a sense of crisis was welling up within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So although she was also very interested in this topic, she decisively withdrew at this moment to accompany Harry and Sirius in greeting the guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding her relationship with Harry, her two friends Hermione and Luna had each given different advice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione's advice was to tell her to get on with life, try to get along with others, and be more relaxed around Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because previously, whenever Harry was in the room, she'd get so nervous she couldn't even speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Hermione believed that if she had more of her own life, Harry might notice her more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ginny accepted most of Hermione's suggestions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regarding Hermione's idea of \"having more of your own life\"—that is, trying to attract Harry's attention by dating other people—she was somewhat hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for Cho Chang, she'd think this approach might work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now with Cho Chang present, if she still did this, wouldn't she be pushing Harry into someone else's arms?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, from every perspective, Cho Chang was in no way inferior to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Hermione's roundabout tactics, the spiritually gifted Luna instead proposed going straight to the point and simply confessing to Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ginny worried this would scare Harry off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt Harry had always seen her as a younger sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she really spoke up, she feared they couldn't even remain friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with such a Ginny, Luna was at a loss and could only settle for second best, pointing out that she should increase her contact time with Harry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joining the Quidditch house team was her idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Ginny blended both their suggestions, which led to the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get on with life, be more relaxed around Harry, increase one-on-one time with Harry, but don't date other people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, by the time 1994 arrived, she was already receiving love letters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her appearance was indeed very good, and many Hogwarts students didn't prefer Cho Chang's type of Asian beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In another year or two, when her body developed more, she might become even more popular than Cho Chang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was completely useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Harry didn't care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding Ginny's proactive participation, Harry was somewhat oblivious, while Sirius readily agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more popular his godson was, the happier he as a father figure became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Chang family, the next to arrive at Grimmauld Place were Sherlock and Harry and Ron's other two roommates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Round-faced Neville Longbottom, and Dean who liked singing and basketball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A while later, Ginny's good friend Luna Lovegood and her father also arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something Ginny had specifically requested after the Weasley family received Harry's invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hoped Harry could also invite her best friend from Gryffindor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry naturally complied readily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Ginny hadn't said anything, he would have invited Luna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was of course for Sherlock's sake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Luna was one of the very few girls who could interact smoothly with Sherlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Harry had also invited Gemma Farley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Gemma was currently far away in Romania and couldn't make it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she still expressed her thanks for Harry's invitation and sent a birthday card and birthday present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, unsurprisingly, she also inquired about Sherlock's recent situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Remus Lupin also arrived, today's guests were finally all accounted for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I couldn't attend the trial with you last year, but at least I made it this year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lupin looked at Sherlock and Harry, smiling warmly, \"You've both grown taller.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around left and right. \"Harry, why didn't you invite your cousin's family? Didn't Padfoot say your relationship is quite good now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dudley did want to come, but Aunt Petunia refused after hearing everyone here would be wizards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry said somewhat helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After learning that Petunia had once written to Dumbledore expressing her desire to attend Hogwarts, Harry had a pretty good understanding of his aunt's mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, she longed to enter a magical school but was unable to due to her own limitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, out of jealousy, she angrily cut off all connections with the magical world, not even wanting her own younger sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had already shared this past and admitted her change in attitude, how could a knot that had remained unresolved for so many years be so easily released?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, every corner of 12 Grimmauld Place was filled with the atmosphere of wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering Uncle Vernon's avoidance of magic at all costs, plus her own psychological reasons, Aunt Petunia ultimately declined Harry's kind offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read more than 40 chapters on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FMikeyMuse\u003C\u002Fp>",1203,"2026-06-10T06:27:24.274Z",1,"novelbin.me","3922a9427647aec5720e5956afd6c665d2b5931794f28e6841d3e21d6473ae3c","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-459","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-457",637,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-cover.jpg"]
