Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Chapter 13: changes that must be made

Hearing Harry say this, neither Ron nor Hermione could associate the inhumane Sherlock with ice cream.

"Maybe he just happened to be standing there? He doesn't look like he likes eating something that only children like to eat." Ron guessed.

"Maybe you're right." Harry shrugged and didn't think much about it.

Originally, Harry and the others were going to split up.

But after meeting Sherlock, the Weasleys obviously wanted to find an excuse to stay with him for a while, so Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys' children could only listen to them and go to the Litres Bookstore together first. buy books.

"Kingsley has always expressed regret after you left the Auror Command. He said that you were an excellent wizard, and that if you continued to stay in the command for a few years, you would be promoted to the Division of Magical Law Enforcement. Great future."

Walking down the streets of Diagon Alley, Mr. Weasley gushed to Sherlock about what happened after he left the Ministry of Magic.

"But it's also good to teach at Hogwarts. Every professor in the castle is a leader in the magic world, and you will become better and better with them."

"Of course I will."

Compared with him, Sherlock's response seemed a bit succinct, but it still didn't dampen Mr. Weasley's enthusiasm for chatting.

At the same time, Mrs. Weasley has been proudly telling the children behind Sherlock's "brilliant" history.

"When your Professor Forrest was at Hogwarts, he got top O's in all final exams every year, and even got top 12 O's in OWLs, and he was still in seventh grade. The Boys Chair at Hogwarts..."

Fred and George interrupted Mrs. Weasley's show impatiently, then quietly looked at Sherlock from the corner of their eyes, and asked Mrs. Weasley in a low voice.

"Mom, who is this Professor Forrest? Why do you and Dad like him so much?"

When the twins were questioning, Harry Ron and Hermione also perked up their ears smartly, trying to eavesdrop on the inside story.

Hearing the question from Fred and the two, Mrs. Weasley's face suddenly became dark and sad. She looked at Sherlock's back with sad and pity eyes, and whispered softly.

"His mother was a very good friend of mine and your father."

When George and Fred looked at their mother with such an obviously story-telling expression, their eyes lit up.

But before they could speak, Mrs. Weasley broke their fantasy of continuing to inquire.

"It's an adult's business! You know less about these things that have nothing to do with you, don't think I don't know what the **** you have in mind! I remind you, in the future, you should respect Sherlock like your own brother! Can you hear me clearly?"

Her tone was stern, but the twins didn't care.

They stretched their voices and answered feebly.

"We heard~clear~clear~mom."

Then they squeezed each other's eyes and said with a smile.

"We will respect him as we respect Percy!"

Sherlock and Mr. Weasley were walking at the front, and did not hear the conversation between Mrs. Weasley and the children behind.

The group walked into the Lihen Bookstore, and the little wizards dispersed, looking for the books they would use in the new semester in the bookstore.

Most of the Weasleys' children gather in the used books area, and their family's economic conditions do not allow every child to use new textbooks.

"I think the textbooks for this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class are all the same as before. Why didn't you let Hogwarts use your defense magic works?"

Hearing Mr. Weasley's words, Sherlock felt a pain in his heart.

He naturally knew that although the original owner was young, he had already published two magic books related to Defense Against the Dark Arts in the magic world, and the response in the academic world was quite good.

But the magic knowledge involved in these two books is too high-end, and it is not something that Sherlock can study and understand at this stage.

If he used his own book as a textbook, but he couldn't explain the truth clearly in class, then there would be a big problem.

"What I wrote is still a little too naive, and using it as a textbook will delay the students at Hogwarts."

When Mr. Weasley heard his explanation, the expression on his face was obviously a little surprised, and he said with a sigh.

"I haven't seen each other for nearly two years, and you have changed a lot from before. But you don't need to be humble Sherlock in this regard. The two books you wrote are no lower than any other books on Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Sherlock's heart suddenly jumped, and then he said with a make-up indifference.

"I'm not being humble, I just have my own set of high standards."

"I know I know."

Mr. Weasley said he knew, but the clear smile on his face was obviously a misunderstanding.

After all, normal people understand what it means to be honest and upright.

Seeing him like this, Sherlock didn't continue to defend anything, but fell into a deep thought in his heart.

Since the magical world has magic that can read other people's memories, after he crosses over to the original owner, he treats everyone with care, like walking on thin ice, for fear that someone will find out his problems.

If an accident really happened, there would be a wizard who would read www. uukanshu.com looked into his brain and it was really over.

But the original owner's character was too withdrawn and indifferent.

Before crossing over, Sherlock himself was a person with a very normal personality, and now it's about his life, so it's okay for him to pretend for a while.

But if it goes on for a long time, or if he is like this all his life, then he will definitely not be able to stand it or hold on, and he will become less like himself.

Therefore, he must change.

To change their inherent impression in the eyes of acquaintances like Professor McGonagall and the Weasleys, so that they no longer take the cold and withdrawn Sherlock as their self-awareness.

Instead, she completely replaced Sherlock by herself, so that she wouldn't have to pretend every day in the future.

Of course, this change must not be sudden.

It is true that people can change, but without the passage of time, or the occurrence of any major accident, a sudden great change in a person's character will definitely arouse suspicion from those who care.

In the magical world, the cost of verifying this suspicion is very low.

So he has to slowly change his personality and change his impression in the eyes of the original owner's acquaintances.

Just like Sherlock's habitually modest words just now, the Sherlock in Mr. Weasley's perception is obviously incapable of speaking.

But he hadn't seen the original owner for almost two years. Sherlock's personality is a little different now, which is naturally a normal thing.

And while Sherlock was thinking, a sneering sound that sounded unpleasant suddenly sounded aside.

"Oh, it's Arthur Weasley, what's up? The Ministry of Magic gave you a raise? So you can get a new textbook for your child?"
