Chapter 4: Wands and Magic

Chapter 4: Wands and Magic

[Dear Mr. Forrest,]

[Because of some minor accidents, there has been new progress on the matter you discussed with Dumbledore at Hogwarts. The matter is a bit complicated, and it is not convenient to explain fully through the letter, so I will come to your house on time at 7:20 on the evening of July 3rd.]

[Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Minerva McGonagall.]

The letter’s content was short, but the message conveyed in this sentence shocked Sherlock.

Minerva McGonagall.

Of course, he knew who the name was. It is the only name in Harry Potter book he knows, and he has a lot to say about the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts and the Head of Gryffindor House. She is obviously an extremely good person with a strict teaching attitude.

The Dumbledore mentioned in the letter is the Headmaster of Hogwarts, the most powerful character in the whole story, Albus Dumbledore.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

The original body went to Hogwarts to discuss things with Dumbledore. Now, because of this matter, McGonagall is coming to see him?

Today’s date is July 3rd, which means that in five hours, she will come to visit. But the problem is that after Sherlock crosses into this world, he doesn’t even inherit the original owner’s memory. He knew nothing about the previous life and experience of this body.

If it’s a normal world, there is a diagnosis of amnesia issued to him by the hospital. He can use this as a reason. But in this magical world, can amnesia really be an excuse to explain his situation?

When Professor McGonagall arrives, Sherlock says that he has amnesia and will not remember anything before.

What is the most likely move that she would do?

Use magic directly on him to detect whether he really has amnesia. Or take him to a hospital in the wizarding world for treatment?

Or maybe take him to Dumbledore and let him determine his current situation?

No matter which of these three possibilities could happen, Sherlock cannot accept it because every possibility will make others discover that he is not the original Sherlock but someone from another world.

He also knew about the future development and changes of this world. No one can predict what will happen to Sherlock in the future.

Although that cluster of silver sparks looks simple, it can also be referred to as magic.

Sherlock’s eyes flickered with excitement, he needed to keep his composure for a moment and soon recovered from his excitement.

Now is not the time for him to experience the mysteries of magic since Professor McGonagall is coming soon.

Sherlock put down the wand in his hand, picked up the teacup on the desk, and drank the warm tea in one gulp. He began to search for anything in the study room that could help him.

The first thing he checked brought him an incomparably huge gain.

The topmost of the stack of thick notebooks placed on the desk is actually the original Sherlock’s diary.

Unexpectedly, the original Sherlock is such an honest man and has a hobby of writing a diary. But now Sherlock is not in the mood to stay around leisurely.

Having a diary means that he has a way to understand the original Sherlock’s past, and gives him great confidence to get through tonight’s situation.

Opening the diary, the first entry in this diary was recorded five years ago.

“April 12th, 1987.”

“Mary and I broke up today. She said that I was like a troll with nothing but to study in my mind. Saying that I don’t have any taste and sensitivity when it comes to that.”

“I actually know what she’s talking about. She made it clear that day and wanted me to kiss her in the hall, but at the beginning, the reason why I agreed to be her boyfriend was to study the feeling of love.”

“It’s a pity that she didn’t give me any feeling of it, so I’m responsible for this situation, and I didn’t choose to kiss her.”

“Until now, I haven’t felt that getting along with the opposite sex can give people any strange feeling. So love is probably not a suitable thing for me.”

“History has proved that those masters of magic do not need such things as love, just like Professor Dumbledore.”

“So, to commemorate my big step towards becoming a master of magic, I’m going to write myself a diary starting from today.”
