Chapter 27: Fighting Tom The Cat

“In this peaceful situation in the wizarding world, you are in danger. The enemy you have to face is your fellow wizards and all kinds of magical creatures in the wild.”

“But no matter how peculiar the abilities of these magical creatures are, they generally have one thing in common. They are much stronger than the average wizards.”

“You have to learn how to use the magic you have learned to deal with enemies that are far stronger than you.”Visitt novelbin(.)co/m for the latest updates

“These magical creatures are not tamed and become your classroom training objects.”

“Wizards are called wizards because we tend to be more creative to solve our problems than ordinary people.”

“Through Transfiguration, I’ve created a creature perfectly suited to be the enemy for all of you.”

Sherlock stood on the side of the classroom, leaving a stage for the beast he just created. However, the students below all had strange expressions. Staring at the creature Sherlock had transformed, they were holding back their laughter.

“Did Professor Sherlock make a mistake when he transformed that animal? No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like a beast?” Dean, who was in the same dormitory as Harry, whispered to him.

Hermione’s roommate, Lavender, looked curiously at the four-legged creature that stood in front of them.

“What is that? A tiger? Or a cat? It looks so cute!”

Hermione looked at the animal Sherlock had transformed and recognized at a glance what it was.

“It has a name of its own. Shall we call it Tom?”

After Sherlock’s spell was complete, Harry’s eyes kept staring at it. As a teenager who had lived in a Muggle family for twelve years, he knew what it was.

Although the Dursleys usually don’t let him watch the TV, Tom is a famous cartoon character in the Muggle world. As famous as Harry Potter is in the wizarding world.

“Professor Forrest knew about Tom the Cat?” Harry didn’t care much about who his enemy was, which surprised him.

Only Ron looked confused, “Why is the cat named Tom?”

Sherlock used the desk to walk in front with his hands on his hips and smiled. He was looking at the big blue-gray cat with a smile and looked at the students. It was Tom the Cat, as it was portrayed in the Tom and Jerry cartoon.

The students who were watching burst into laughter. Everyone could see that the Hufflepuff boy was too cocky, that’s why Tom was able to win so easily.

The Hufflepuff boy, who was caught by the collar and hung up from the ground, explained to Sherlock with a flushed face, “Professor, I failed. Can I try again?”

Sherlock obviously won’t give him another chance.

“Underestimating the enemy is a sin in combat. If you lose your wand in actual combat, you will have no power to fight back. Everyone has only one chance in this duel.”

With Sherlock’s signal, Tom put the boy down and let him go back to the crowd in an embarrassing feeling because his friends were laughing at him.

Sherlock chose Ron from among the batch of students ready for the duel. He stood confidently in the middle and borrowed Hermione’s wand.

He thinks he has seen through all of what Tom could do and will never make the mistake of underestimating the enemy like the previous Hufflepuff boy.

As Sherlock’s voice fell, the second duel began.

This time, Ron learned the mistake that the Hufflepuff boy made. He didn’t choose to cast the spell directly but turned his body over and changed his position. After that, he pointed his wand at the place where he was standing, where Tom would rush toward his position.

The spell was successfully released from Ron, and the dazzling red beam shot at Tom at a speed that was really fast in their eyes.

Just when all the students thought that Ron’s spell would hit Tom and, the twenty-point for Gryffindor was secured. Tom’s body suddenly bent into a question mark shape, and they easily dodged the spell.

The next second, it knocked Ron to the ground and took the wand from his hand. Around the stage, all the students stared at this scene.

Tom won again, beat his chest, and roared in triumph.

Sherlock was standing beside him and slightly raised the corner of his mouth. It didn’t take him long to focus on perfecting Tom’s creation.

Although the Tom he transformed is not as powerful as in the animation, the most powerful animated characters usually come from cartoons.

Tom is not easily beaten by a group of second-grade students and can be defeated by simply casting spells randomly.

Only when they use all the magic they know and all the tactics can they have the opportunity to defeat Tom.
