Put away those boring tricks you use to deceive people in the Muggle world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Snape heard Sherlock's deductions, his piercing gaze immediately shifted from Harry to Sherlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holmes, who do you think you are? Just by looking around for a few moments, you think you can guess what happened here? Do you really think you're some famous detective from a novel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's 'deduction,' not 'guessing,'\" Sherlock replied calmly, completely unaffected by Snape's icy aura. He even corrected Snape's terminology. \"Actually, I can indeed provide some helpful information about this case...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up! I don't have time to listen to your boring analysis, Holmes. What I need to tell you is...\" Snape sneered coldly, \"Because of this incident, Gryffindor will lose twenty points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the presence of Gryffindor's Head of House right beside him, Snape didn't hesitate to make this decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all three students except Sherlock immediately darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Hermione's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this whole affair had started because of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Professor McGonagall, she remained indifferent to Snape's point deduction, as if she had already accepted his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the next moment, she suddenly said something that surprised everyone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Holmes, would you care to share your observations?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor McGonagall!\" Snape whirled around to face her. \"Are you sure you want to listen to a first-year student's grand theories? I think it would be better to give him detention for a while...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Professor Snape. I know exactly what I'm doing,\" McGonagall replied calmly, looking at Snape. \"Mr. Holmes is a student from my House. I am willing and obligated to hear his perspective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, she turned to Sherlock. \"Mr. Holmes, you may begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This was a premeditated case.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the intense scrutiny of three professors and three students, Sherlock got straight to the point:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The person who left this bloody message was a man, under six feet tall, middle-aged, right-handed. He moves quickly and is cunning, but he's currently troubled. This act wasn't his own intention but was done at someone else's instruction. Additionally, he used a wand approximately nine inches long...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Sherlock spoke faster and faster, the expressions on everyone's faces grew increasingly astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, an abrupt voice interrupted his analysis. \"That's enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snape looked coldly at Sherlock, speaking with undisguised contempt and disgust:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah, the great detective Holmes? I already told you to put away your boring tricks! Perhaps you can rely on them in the Muggle world, but in the magical world...\" Snape's eyes suddenly became profound: \"I advise you to be more careful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he paused, then added as if suddenly remembering, \"Gryffindor loses ten points as punishment for your nonsensical rambling in front of a professor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Snape's words, Harry, Hermione, and Ron were immediately alarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the previous point deduction was punishment for wandering around, this one was clearly an expression of embarrassed anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You're the one talking nonsense! This is obviously a rule you just made up on the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since he was a professor after all, even though they felt indignant, the three didn't dare express their feelings openly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they would certainly face even harsher point deductions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Snape had always been this unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the three unanimously turned their gazes to Professor McGonagall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with such an obviously fabricated reason for deducting points, Professor McGonagall, known for her sense of justice and fairness, should surely step in and speak up for them, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she was Gryffindor's Head of House.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, McGonagall looked at Sherlock and said word by word:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am very disappointed in you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of Harry and his friends immediately sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could this be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed... this time Sherlock's performance had left Professor McGonagall too dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Sherlock had pretended to be very confident, those details sounded far too incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even they, who had witnessed Sherlock's abilities many times, still found it hard to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much more so for McGonagall, who didn't understand Sherlock?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, deducting points just for this seemed too excessive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, Professor Quirrell, who looked extremely weak, suddenly said feebly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor, there's no rule for deducting points like this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three immediately brightened up, looking at Quirrell with gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, even the garlic smell emanating from him didn't seem so pungent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next moment, Snape mercilessly retorted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My rules are the rules!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quirrell: Σ(｀д′*ノ)ノ\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, after saying this, Snape looked coldly at Quirrell and continued his assault:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, what you should do now is get lost and go back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quirrell: o((⊙﹏⊙))o.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing even a professor succumb to Snape's intimidation, how could Harry and the others dare to act up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Sherlock remained unmoved, instead showing a thoughtful expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>McGonagall, as if she hadn't seen this scene, said to the four students:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you're not injured, you'd better hurry back to Gryffindor Tower—the students are all enjoying the Halloween feast in their respective Houses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Outrageous! Simply outrageous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back to Gryffindor Tower, Ron was absolutely furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Snape went too far! What kind of reason was that? I'll bet you anything he made it up on the spot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and Hermione nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the troll incident, the barrier between Harry and Ron and Hermione had been eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, facing Snape, their common \"enemy,\" the three had formed a united front, unanimously criticizing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Hermione, who usually respected professors, was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what surprised the three was when Sherlock suddenly said: \"Actually, Professor Snape is a good person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three turned their heads in unison, looking at Sherlock with shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said seriously: \"To be precise, Professor Snape is a despicably kind good person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sherlock, how did you put those two words together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione stared at Sherlock with wide eyes, expressing her inability to understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These two words aren't opposite in nature, so why can't they be put together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Sherlock's counter-question, Hermione was momentarily speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed... kind and despicable weren't antonyms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... putting them together felt strange whether you said it or heard it, didn't it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron also asked Sherlock unwillingly why he hadn't brought him and Harry along when he went to find Hermione.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Sherlock informed him that he was worried they would delay the rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron looked miserable: \"You're really honest...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've said before, in most situations I don't lie, unless it's necessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you so much for your honesty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like this, chatting as they walked, they finally arrived in front of the Fat Lady's portrait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can read more chapters on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>patreon.com\u002FMikeyMuse\u003C\u002Fp>",1113,"2026-06-10T06:27:24.273Z",1,"novelbin.me","93ad99e6b3013c79c7045a6c920ee0122dc2229a13663718b6a77bd5b7ee23cf","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-52","hp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-chapter-500",637,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhp-i-am-sherlock-holmes-cover.jpg"]
