Chapter 14: Unexpected Reaction

Chapter 14: Unexpected Reaction

The visitors who came were a father and son. They look similar and have the same smile when they look at the Weasleys. The same figure, the same arrogance.

Sherlock frowned slightly as he looked at the man who spoke. He was not disgusted by what the man said, but after he entered the bookstore, the upper part of his left arm seemed to be on fire and he felt a little bit of pain.

Sherlock felt a little weird. He used his right hand to cover the hot spot of his left arm. Nothing was there, and the burning sensation seemed to be his reaction.

“Lucius.” Mr. Weasley said coldly.

“I heard you get busy with your business lately,” said Lucius, “So many things to handle at once. Did they pay you for the overtime?”

He reached into Ginny’s cauldron and pulled out a tattered Beginner’s Guide to Transfiguration from the pile of old books.

“It doesn’t seem to be. Your only daughter didn’t get a brand-new book when she started school. It seems you are not doing really well, ain’t it, wizard scum?”

Ginny’s face was flushed, and Mr. Weasley’s face was redder than hers. Sherlock didn’t say a word and stared closely at the person Mr. Weasley had called Lucius. After thinking about it for a long time, he had a little impression of this person.

This person’s full name is Lucius Malfoy, and he is a Death Eater. Standing next to him is his son, Draco Malfoy, who is evil but not totally a villain in the story.

But why did his arm feel like it was burning when they came in?

While Sherlock was thinking, the battle between them was not over yet.

“We have different views on what a wizard scum is, Malfoy.” Mr. Weasley seemed to suppress his anger.

“Of course,” said Lucius, his eyes rolling to the Grangers, who were watching them, “Oh, look at your friends. Two Muggles and...” His eyes moved and finally settled on Sherlock.

Suddenly, Lucius’ pupils shrank, and his face became hideous.

“Well, if it isn’t the mad...”

Lucius was the first to react. His eyes were full of anger. Stared at Sherlock and pulled out his wand angrily. Seeing his reaction, Mr. Weasley drew out his wand without hesitation and pointed it at Lucius.

Sherlock still had a flat expression at this time, as if the punch just now wasn’t from him. He raised his wand in his right hand and stood before him.

Of course, the reason why he was so calm was not because of his powerful strength.

Just because he was familiar with magic for less than a month, even if the original Sherlock’s memory can help him quickly master a spell, he cannot reach a level of confrontation with an adult wizard.

Apart from believing that Mr. Weasley would help him, what he relied on was that Lucius did not dare to cast a spell on him.

After spending a month at home, Sherlock was not only familiar with magic but also spent some time reading the laws around here.

When you want to delve into a new society, you must be familiar with the rules of this society. When you understand the rules clearly, you will be better able to jump into this new world.

The laws in the wizarding world are different from those in normal society, such as deciding the problem when there is a conflict between wizards.

Using wands and magic is the key to judging whether an offense is happening. Which side uses the wand and casts magic first, unless there are special circumstances, that side will take full responsibility for the entire conflict afterward. Regardless of whether they won or not.

In the current two-on-one situation, and not knowing Sherlock’s true power, Lucius wouldn’t be stupid enough to cast a spell first against him.

This way, he may not be able to fight him in the end.

He stared at Sherlock warily. He didn’t utter a spell but said something cruel.

“Fine then, I will see you in another time.”

Having said that, he threw the old book he had been holding in his hand back into Ginny’s cauldron, turned around, and left the bookstore with Draco.
