Vol 2 Chapter 399: Going out (2 in 1 quad k)
After Christmas, the entire magical world became somewhat quieter.
The Death Eaters no longer acted as frequently as before. They began to shrink their power. Although they occasionally did some atrocities, they rarely clashed with the Aurors on the front.
Such a situation naturally made Scrimgeour take the opportunity to publicize it, claiming that this was a strong proof that the Ministry of Magic had won a partial victory. Even if the mysterious man returned, his power would not be as good as before. The stability that the people longed for was very strong. coming soon.
As for how many people believe his words, this is unknown.
At least in Hogwarts, Sherlock and Dumbledore knew very well that the actions of the Death Eaters were just an extension of Voldemort's consciousness. The strength or weakness of this force was actually completely determined by Voldemort's own strength.
And the so-called stability, Voldemort does not die for a day, such stability will not come.
But so far, the Ministry of Magic has not even found a wizard who can stand up to him, let alone know how to make him die.
In the castle, Sherlock never gave up on this work.
Pushing open the door of the Room of Requirement, he came out of the room in disappointment once again, finding nothing.
After "digesting" the locket, Sherlock's overall strength has also increased a lot. The most notable part of this is in the control field. The effect distance from the previous radius of 10 meters has been doubled, reaching 20 meters, and the control strength and the direct use of magic control methods to cast spells are also visible to the naked eye.
Without using a wand, he could already use more than 80% of his magic with his bare hands, and the remaining ones were just too demanding. Overall, it was still a great improvement for Sherlock.
But even under such circumstances, Sherlock still hadn't found the one he sensed from the Room of Requirement, which was most likely the Horcrux of Ravenclaw's crown.
And just as he was staring at the wall in front of him, wondering if he had left out a room, a curious voice sounded behind him.
"Professor Forrest, what are you doing here?"
Sherlock turned to look at the owner of the familiar voice that could no longer be familiar. Harry was standing at the corner of the stairs panting, looking at him suspiciously.
Seeing Harry, Sherlock couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
"Oh, you just got back from running, Harry?"
"No, it's Quidditch training." Harry sat directly on the stairs, trying his best to make his breathing even, "The previous captain of the team, Wood, graduated, and Angelina took over this semester. She is as strict as Wood and wants to lead us to the Academy Cup this year, so the usual training is also very hard."
Sherlock nodded, he had no problem with Harry's extracurricular hobbies.
There are not many sports that can go out among wizards, and Quidditch is one of the most popular.
At this moment, Sherlock stared at Harry, seemed to think for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Harry, maybe you can do me a favor."
Harry, who was rubbing his shoulders hit by the Quaffle today, raised his head blankly.
"What are you busy with?"
Sherlock grabbed his arm and led him to the wall of the Room of Requirement.
"There is a door here."
Of course Harry didn't think Sherlock was trying to make a joke on him about the empty wall, and just asked with a wink.
"Is this door hidden by magic?"
"The meaning is almost the same. There is a magical room behind this door called the Room of Requirement. As long as you stand in front of the wall and think about the room you need, take three steps back and forth, and the door will appear, and behind the door is what you need. that room."
Harry looked surprised. It was the first time he had heard of such a place in Hogwarts.
The House of Requirement has always been circulated in various school history mysteries in the form of legends, but Harry usually doesn't pay much attention to these books. If it was Hermione, she would definitely know about the House of Requirement.
"I'm looking for something, Harry, and it's hidden in the Room of Requirement, but no one knows what kind of room it's in. But it's just me and time is limited, and there's no way to keep it there. Screening here, so I want to ask you to help me find a crown in this room when I have free time."
"A crown? The form of a crown?" Harry asked.
"Yes, it is a crown with gems inlaid in the middle, and the whole is in the shape of an eagle."
Sherlock described to Harry the appearance of Ravenclaw's crown, which Dumbledore obtained from Lady Grey.
"There is also a motto engraved on the bottom edge of the crown - 'Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind.' (\'Witbeyondmeasureisman\'sgreatesttreasure.\')."
This semester has been a bit too bland for Harry. Except that he was attacked by a Dementor during the summer vacation, everything from the beginning of school to now seems to be returning to ordinary campus life, but the people in the Order of the Phoenix And Sherlock and Dumbledore they seem to be busy with a lot of things again.
This made Harry feel that he wanted to help, but he was powerless. Now that Sherlock could assign him a task, he was naturally very happy to accept it.
"You can leave it to me, Professor Forrest, I will definitely be able to help you find it out."
Harry swears and pats his chest to assure, Sherlock patted his shoulder with a smile, officially handing over this task to him.
Back in the office, Sherlock had just sat down for two minutes when there was a knock on the door.
It's Draco.
Since he came to ask for advice at Christmas, Draco has come to the door several times, and he has not made any other actions or small gestures during this period, as if he was simply asking about Defense Against the Dark Arts.
But this time he didn't come here on his own initiative, but Sherlock specially found someone to call him here from Slytherin Academy.
"Professor Forrest, look for me."
Even when facing Sherlock at this time, Draco still looked very rude and rude, but at least he called him a professor.
After Sherlock saw him come in, he got up again, took a coat from the hanger beside him, and put it on him.
At this time, Draco realized that Sherlock was not wearing a traditional wizard robe, but was wearing jeans and a thick trench coat over a dark green sweater. Compared to a wizard, this dress was more like a Muggle.
"Didn't I ask you to do me a little favor? Today is Saturday, and it's time for me to need your help, Draco. Come with me now."
Draco looked at Sherlock's gesture as if he was about to go out. He was stunned at first, and then quickly reacted. His first reaction was to resist.
"I do not want to go out!"
Sherlock stopped to look at him and shrugged.
"You're worried that I'm going to kill you? Don't think of me so dirty. If I really had such thoughts, I would have taken action on the first day you came to me, so why wait until now."
Although he said so, Draco also felt that the possibility that Sherlock would attack him was very low, but he was still very vigilant.
"If I have to go, won't you let me come to you for advice in the future?"
"Of course not. I told you at the beginning that I won't force you to do anything, and answering your doubts about your studies is my duty as a teacher, not a deal between me and you."
Draco could hear that Sherlock wasn't lying to him.
He was a little confused at this time, and he didn't dare to look directly at Sherlock, so he kept his head down and struggled for a long time.
Sherlock didn't rush, just waited for him to make a decision.
"I can go with you," Draco said reluctantly, "but you have to keep me safe!"
"Even if you don't say it, I'll do it. I took you out, of course I'm responsible for your safety."
While talking, Sherlock walked out of the office, and Draco followed him with a cold expression and nervousness.
Today is the third Saturday after the Christmas holiday, and the students have already returned to their normal class order.
And Sherlock took Draco all the way from the third floor to the first floor without any cover up. Many students saw this scene, including just coming out of the library, holding a large stack of books in his arms and preparing to Back to Hermione in the Gryffindor lounge.
Seeing the two of them together, Hermione was as surprised as Snape invited Harry to the Three Broomsticks for a Butterbeer.
She changed her target temporarily, followed Sherlock and Draco first, and returned to the Gryffindor lounge with a shocked face until she saw the two of them walk out of the door of Hogwarts.
In the lounge, Ron was playing wizard chess with Seamus. Harry hadn't come back at this time, so Hermione could only share the news with Ron alone.
Ron was also in disbelief.
"Last time we saw Malfoy take the initiative to find Professor Forrest, it was enough to make people believe that he still took that **** Malfoy out of school today?"
"I find it a little unbelievable, too," Hermione murmured. "I remember at the beginning of the semester we overheard Malfoy talking bad about Professor Forrest behind his back, and now they But they went out together."
The scene they saw last time on Christmas Day made them feel weird enough, and the current relationship between Sherlock and Draco will only make him and them feel more unusual.
Harry didn't come back until close to noon.
He was very attentive to the task Sherlock gave him, and he searched for a whole morning in the room that complied with all needs, but he still had nothing to gain.
"Didn't we finish training early in the morning? Why did you come back so late?" Ron asked with some doubts at first.
Just as Harry was about to pull them to the corner of the lounge and whispered to them about the Room of Requirement, Ron continued to impatiently tell him about Hermione's discovery today.
Harry was also stunned.
"You mean Professor Forrest took Malfoy out today?" He just asked Ron's words in question, and then he asked himself, "How is it possible, if you say that Snape invited Faury I might still believe that Professor Sturt went out for a drink, after all, they have a pretty good relationship."
Seeing that Harry didn't believe it, Ron turned his eyes to Hermione, and Hermione said seriously.
"I saw this with my own eyes, not only me, there were many people in the corridor and foyer at the time, some of them even greeted Professor Forrest, and it was indeed him who took Malfoy out of the school. "
She was so sure that Harry couldn't believe it.
"Professor just gave me the assignment this morning, and then he went out with Malfoy? What will Professor Forrest do with him out?"
Ron and Hermione shook their heads.
"If we knew, we wouldn't discuss it with you."
Harry felt a little twisted in his heart. Although he is 16 years old this year, this sudden feeling that the teacher who is also a teacher and friend he has always respected and his nemesis have a good relationship, made him subconsciously have a feeling in his heart. frustration.
However, he still found an explainable reason.
"Maybe Professor Forrest wants to get information about the Death Eaters from Malfoy. We all know that his father is a close friend of the mysterious man."
After listening to Harry's words, Ron also felt that it was very likely.
"We've all seen that it's that guy Malfoy who went to Professor Forrest first. Even we can see that he's doing something wrong. The professor can definitely think of it, so he must have a plan. In Hogg Wattsley isn't convenient to use things like Veritaserum, but not necessarily outside."
Harry and Ron both felt that this was the most likely possibility. The two even started talking. Maybe Malfoy will have all his memories locked up now, and he will be expelled from the school when things are over. The bright future~www.NovelMTL .com~ It's just that Hermione clearly thinks differently.
According to the character they had been with Sherlock for so many years, anyone who knew him would know that he would not use such despicable means to deal with his students.
Harry and the two of them must have thought of this, but they were caught in another beautiful fantasy at this time, and they didn't want to admit it.
At the same time Harry and the others were talking in the Gryffindor lounge, Sherlock took Draco out of the door of Hogwarts.
"Since you came out with me, then no matter what happens after that, you have to listen to me, Draco, or I won't rule out that I will use coercive means against you, understand? Draco."
Draco seemed to be very dissatisfied with this commanding tone, but he still had a bit of awe for Sherlock instinctively. He didn't dare to meet Sherlock's eyes, he just used a voice not much louder than a mosquito's bark, "Yeah" a sound.
