Chapter 12: complex relationship
"Who is this guy? Why is Mom so excited when she sees him? I remember she didn't show that expression even when Bill graduated from Hogwarts."
George, one of the Weasley twins, looked at the touching scene in front of him that seemed to recognize another child Weasley had been separated for many years, and his doubts and Fred whispered.
Fred carefully looked at Sherlock from top to bottom and said seriously.
"Looking at his age, he seems to be about the same age as Charlie. Maybe his relationship with Charlie is really the same as the two of us. It's just that his parents accidentally left him outside."
Ginny, the youngest in the family, took what his brother said seriously, shaking her little head like a rattle.
"How is that possible! He doesn't look like Charlie at all! Not to mention his hair is pale blond!"
"Don't you know? Ginny." George and Fred had their old habit of teasing people. They looked at their sister in surprise and said, "Our family's hair is actually pale blond, but it's just that We just magically dye it red every year, don't you?"
Ginny stood stunned for a moment.
It wasn't until the twins couldn't help laughing out loud that she reacted with a flushed face and chased after the twins with her small fists.
The three of them also whispered secretly from the side.
"I've seen this man." Harry said firmly.
Ron muttered, "The wizard you've seen, it makes no sense, I haven't."
Harry explained: "Just this summer, on my birthday, when I was at Aunt Petunia's house, he was running by the side of the road outside, and I saw him once."
"I seem to have met him when I entered Diagon Alley just now." Hermione continued Harry's words, "but I only saw his back, but it was easy to recognize that person was him just by the back. ."
Hearing the two of them finish speaking, Ron looked strange.
"You have all seen him. My parents saw him as if they saw their own son. Who is he?"
Sherlock also wanted to know who he was!
He was now surrounded by the Weasleys, and he was greeted with sympathy, which made him very embarrassed, but his face had to continue to harden.
So what kind of life did the original owner have?
Isn't it a father who is a rich man in the Muggle world and a mother who is a lunatic in the wizarding world?
Professor McGonagall told him to take care of him like his own junior. Why did the Weasleys kiss him more than their own son when they saw him?
Obviously the original owner's character was so stinky, withdrawn and unlikable, but whether it was Professor McGonagall or the Weasleys and the others, they didn't care at all, which made Sherlock pretend to be reluctant, feeling like he was the ultimate supervillain. Wolf.
However, what should be installed is still to be installed.
"I don't have any problems with my life, so please take your trouble."
Hearing this sentence alone, some people may think that Sherlock is quite polite, but if it is matched with his tone and expression, it will be difficult to respond.
Immediately, the group of children behind the Weasleys, including Harry and Hermione, were full of resentment, and their first impression of him was very bad.
But the Weasleys didn't care about Sherlock's attitude.
"It's good to have no problems. It's a good thing to go out for a walk. Do you have any other plans after you come to Diagon Alley today? You can come to our house in the evening, and also." Mrs. Weasley said while pulling over Harry behind her.
"This is your Aunt Lily's son. You must know his name. It's Harry Potter. He is already twelve years old this year, and he is in second grade at Hogwarts."
Sherlock's heart froze for a while.
Good guy, co-author he and Harry Potter **** know each other?
This relationship is getting more and more complicated, and the original owner's life experience is not as simple as he thought at the beginning.
Looking at Harry Potter who was standing in front of him, thin and small, with a confused expression, Sherlock greeted him first.
"Hello, Potter, I've heard your name as early as when I was still at Hogwarts."
Sherlock has now mastered the rhythm of speaking as the original owner.
You can sound polite in your words, but you must use that kind of flat tone, which sounds very disconcerting.
Harry hesitantly reached out and shook hands with Sherlock. He clearly felt that this person was a little difficult to get along with.
"Hello, this..."
"According to my current status, you should call me Professor Forrest."
Sherlock didn't mean to hide his identity. Anyway, after Hogwarts started, the news would naturally spread.
Hearing his words, everyone around them widened their eyes.
"Fu, Professor Forrest, which subject do you teach?" Harry asked.
"Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"Oh! That's really nice, Sherlock." Mr. Weasley looked very happy, and he walked up and hugged Sherlock.
"You have finally fulfilled your own ideals. I have long heard that the originally determined defense professor, that wizard named Gilderoy Lockhart is a criminal. I didn't expect that Dumbledore's new candidate was you. "
Mrs Weasley looked very sad.
"But I heard... the position of a defense professor doesn't seem to be very safe..."
Before Sherlock could speak, Mr. Weasley gave her a dissatisfied look.
"How can you believe that kind of thing? Molly, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com It's just a rumor. Which of the defense professors who have had accidents in the past few years is not their own fault, and what does it have to do with this professorship!"
Sherlock was silent, but he, a defense class professor, had a big problem with himself!
But Mr. Weasley obviously couldn't hear Sherlock's heart, and he warmly invited him.
"We're just about to take the kids to the bookstore to buy their textbooks for the new term. Come hang out with us. You've been missed since you left the Ministry."
He grabbed Sherlock's arm and didn't give him a chance to refuse at all, so he followed the Weasleys and the Grangers to the Blossom Bookstore.
The little wizards who followed behind all gathered together and whispered in a low voice.
"It was him who replaced Lockhart." Hermione looked surprised. "Is he too young? He looks in his early twenties."
After Lockhart was arrested, the Daily Prophet naturally exposed that he was planning to take up the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts. At the same time, a reporter named Rita Skeeter mocked Dumbledore's knowledge. Unknown person.
This made the original Lockhart fans, including Hermione and Mrs. Weasley, angry for a long time, and they all felt that they had been deceived.
Ron complained, "Lockhart isn't even thirty years old."
George and Fred looked at each other and said bluntly, "This guy looks really stinky, just like Percy."
Percy glared at them from the side.
Harry looked back at where Sherlock was standing just now, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Professor Forrest, he seemed to want to buy ice cream just now, but after seeing us, he stopped buying it."
