Chapter 267 The person hit by the boomerang (page 12)
As soon as these words came out, Bourne and Dumbledore were both stunned. This was something they had never expected.
The ghost of Dr. Watson who was rescued by Bourne looked exactly like the Dr. Watson he saw when he traveled back to the 19th century.
Just one sentence uttered by this ghost made both Bourne and Dumbledore fall into deep thought.
"How can a dead Muggle human become a ghost and continue to live in the world?"
Dumbledore checked his memory. Before meeting Dr. Watson, he had never seen any precedent of Muggles turning into ghosts.
Perhaps it has something to do with the strength of the soul, only wizards can become ghosts.
However, wizards like them are no longer surprised by the existence of this kind of spirit form because they have at least attended Hogwarts Castle and have seen ghosts from various colleges.
They are used to it.
It is precisely because of this that even smart people like Principal Dumbledore ignored this issue when they met Dr. Watson.
Next up, Dr. Watson…
His patience paid off.
"According to what they said, neither Bourne nor that 'Morty', at least in our timeline, will make any mistakes anymore..."
However, when Sherlock slowly aged and gradually headed towards the great adventure of death, the opportunity that Haierbo had been waiting for finally appeared.
Of course, when Sherlock was still alive, Haierbo's weak soul, which was about to be burned dry by the spiritual flames, did not dare to act like a monster at all.
They even asked the Ministry of Magic to send special personnel to perform memory processing on all non-wizard parties present (Dr. Watson and two patrol policemen), delete all their memories of the incident, and replace them with a wine bottle. A wonderful evening with plenty of food.
"...In a sense, what they said may be right. However, what they said was that Bourne will not appear 'by mistake' again, but they did not say that you from the future can continue to appear in the future.
But as a "detective", Sherlock's life is undoubtedly extremely colorful. In Muggle society, whenever "detective" is mentioned, Sherlock's name is a monument that cannot be avoided.
Perhaps by the standard of "wizards", Sherlock is not a particularly outstanding wizard. He will not be remembered forever by other wizards like Dumbledore, Grindelwald, Newt, and Voldemort.
Moreover, the Department of Mysteries' inspection focused more on the physical evidence at the scene and ignored me as a client.
It is precisely because of this that he very much wants to preserve those memories more comprehensively and tell them to future generations through the mouth of the magic portrait.
People in the Department of Mysteries believe that Bourne, the Indian wizard "Morty" (Helpo), and the dwarf craftsmen were actually brought from different eras by the time turner.
So none of them noticed that 'Morty', the despicable Haierbo, had connected part of his soul with my soul in some strange way. "
Sherlock tried his best to organize his language, because when it comes to issues related to "time travel", the usage of tenses in English suddenly becomes difficult to reach the Zenith Star.
Everyone related to it has been exiled by time, and has been corrected by this world.
It turned out that after that fiery night on the banks of the Thames in the 19th century, Aurors sealed off the scene. Later, people from the Department of Mysteries came there and carefully examined the various evidence left at the scene.
As for Sherlock, as well as Captain Longbottom, director of the Auror Office at the time, and others, the Department of Mysteries only assured them that the "lost time turner" had indeed been completely scrapped.
In his current state, the success rate of defeating the soul of an adult wizard and then "seizing" his body could only be described as pitifully low.
The so-called "lost time turner", the Department of Mysteries did not give much explanation to Sherlock as the party involved.
Oh, no, it should be Sherlock, who explained to Bourne and Dumbledore why he became a ghost in the form of Watson.
Taking advantage of Sherlock's opportunity to extract part of his memory and make it into a magical portrait, Haierbo repeated his old tricks and escaped into the magical portrait.
People from the Ministry of Magic finally came to the conclusion that this case was also an accident caused by a "lost time turner".
In the last few years before his death, Sherlock spent a lot of time and a lot of money, constantly adding details to his magical portrait, constantly adding expensive paints with richer magic to it.
And all of these later became the nutrients that nourished Haierbo, and that despicable soul gradually became stronger from its previous extremely weak state.
However, as Haierbo's soul strengthened, the magic portrait belonging to Sherlock inevitably exposed a problem.
Sherlock and his good friend Dr. Watson both discovered that Sherlock in the portrait did not seem to have a deep impression of some of the events they had experienced before, or did he simply not remember them? !
You know, this is actually a basically impossible thing. The memories stored in the magical portrait all come from the person who created the portrait. Sherlock himself did not forget those things at all, even the details were clearly remembered, but the magic portrait made for him did not.
The makers and material suppliers of his magical portrait are all old businesses in Diagon Alley, and they all have hundreds of years of family business history.
The craftsmanship and reputation are quite guaranteed.
Moreover, through owl communication evidence collection, Sherlock learned that no magic portrait consumers at the same time as himself had similar abnormalities.
Sherlock has always believed that if all impossibilities are eliminated, no matter how incredible the remaining possibilities are, they are the truth.
Through his detective instinct and his memories of that fiery night by the Thames many years ago, Sherlock gradually deduced that the problem with the magical portrait might be related to Herbo.
But he and his good friend Dr. Watson made a mistake at that time. They underestimated the recovery speed of Haierbo's soul.
Sensing that Sherlock and Dr. Watson were suspicious, Haierbo in the portrait simply took the initiative. When the two old friends gathered in front of the magical portrait again, he used a modified "forget" It's all empty", wanting to erase the relevant memories of the two people.
However, Haierbo, who had been neglecting the spell practice for a long time, failed to control the strength for a while. As a Muggle, Dr. Watson's memory disappeared too quickly, which led to brain death.
As a wizard, Sherlock's soul "lived" in place of Dr. Watson under the influence of his obsession to save his old friend.
He became a ghost in the form of "Dr. Watson."
However, Sherlock's memories related to Haierbo were also affected. They were sealed and it was difficult to actively recall them.
Then, Bourne also knew what happened to "Sherlock" (Herbo's magical portrait) and "Doctor Watson" (Sherlock's ghost): the former deceived the latter into holding the event year after year. "Little Wizard Summer Camp", they continued to add bricks and tiles to their magical portraits, until last year, because of the revenge and tragic death of the goblin villain Narlak, the two of them took the opportunity to live in Hogwarts Castle.
