Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Chapter 49: Crow's Mouth Test



"Once it was a coincidence, what about the second time?"

Harry continued.

"Just at the beginning of the school year when we were training in Quidditch for the first time, Malfoy had a confrontation with us and then Professor Forrest happened to be passing by and he punished Malfoy and went on to say 'Good luck' You guys are having fun. ""

Through Harry's words, Ron recalled that day, he murmured.

"Then it rained that day, and it has been raining in Hogwarts since that day, and every time you practice Quidditch, it's basically raining!"

Seeing Ron's tendency to waver, Hermione still didn't believe that these things happened because of Sherlock's mouth.

"This can only be regarded as a coincidence. After all, the weather in the UK is always changing, and it is normal from sunny days to sudden rains."

Harry's face was calm, and he was not in a hurry to argue with Hermione, because the more he reasoned about it, the more he discovered that there was too much evidence to prove that Sherlock was the ultimate crow's mouth.

"Once or twice was a coincidence, what about the third time? You guys remember my penalty at Professor Forrest, and then that afternoon? Got smashed into the mud by a Bludger on the field, I was out of training all afternoon. When I returned to the castle, I was caught by Filch and brought mud into the castle. I was ordered to clean the corridor on the first floor of the castle for a week. When I returned to the bedroom, Ron's mouse was still pulled on my bed..."

The more he spoke, Harry's own expression became strange, and he asked Ron Hermione with a strange expression.

"Do you know what Professor Forrest said to me before I left his office?"

Ron was inexplicably nervous, and he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"He wished you a good time?"

"No, the professor wished me good luck today!"

Harry looked at Ron and Hermione, whose expressions had become stunned.

"And then there was the attack on Justin and Colin, you all know that. At first we could say it was a coincidence, but after another, can it still be a coincidence?"

The air suddenly became quiet, and Harry and the other three seemed to have forgotten to even breathe.

It wasn't until a long time passed that Hermione suddenly shook her head and said.

"I don't believe it! I still can't believe it! Whether it is science or magic, there are traces to follow, even the most unreliable predictions, there are wizards who have seen something wonderful from tea slag, crystal **** or astrology. Trajectory. But there is absolutely no way to explain what you said about Professor Forrest's crow's mouth!"

"If you say that Professor Forrest is a master of prophecy, and he can accurately predict the future trajectory, then we can also think that he is a natural talent, but what is the crow's mouth? I have never written in any book. I've seen this kind of talent before!"

Ron was already a little convinced, and he was persuaded by the evidence Harry presented, he defended.

"Whether you've seen it in the books or not, it's the proven fact! Magic just doesn't make sense, like you can explain why we use spells and wands to make magic work. Is it? From now all the signs can prove that as long as Professor Forrest has blessed things, everything is developing in the opposite direction of his blessing, so it is very likely that Harry's judgment is right!"

Their arguing was a little louder. Someone in the lounge had noticed the situation on their side. Hermione had to calm herself down and said in a low voice.

"But it's still incredible!"

Not participating in the argument between them, Harry, who looked thoughtful, said at this time.

"Actually, it's very simple for us to verify whether my guess is correct."

Ron and Hermione's eyes turned to him, Harry stared at their eyes and said seriously.

"Now that Professor Forrest is at Hogwarts, why can't we do a test?"

Ron's expression at this time revealed a faint excitement.

"You mean the crow's mouth of the test professor?"

"That's right, we can test it completely. Anyway, we don't need to prepare anything. Even if we guess wrong, it won't reveal anything, so it proves that these things are really coincidences."

Hermione said with some confusion.

"Is this not a good thing? Yesterday we cheated Professor Forrest to borrow a book slip, and we haven't apologized to him yet."

"When we catch the successor of Slytherin, we must apologize to Professor Forrest. Besides, we are not disrespecting the professor, we just want to investigate the matter clearly."

Harry's words finally convinced Hermione.

Of course, they wanted to test Sherlock's crow's mouth, and the suspicion that Malfoy was a descendant of Slytherin had not been lifted.

It takes more than a month to brew the compound decoction, and the place where they brew the potion is in the girls' bathroom on the first floor.

While Harry and the others were discussing testing a certain professor's mouth, Sherlock was also having a headache in the secret room in his own office.

The information that the monster he will be released today is the Basilisk was revealed to Dumbledore, but this does not seem to solve the key to the problem.

It is true that the basilisk is the attacker, but it is only equivalent to the weapon in the hands of the murderer. The real problem to be solved is to find the mastermind behind opening the secret room and instructing the basilisk to make trouble.

But at this point, Sherlock really didn't know who the Slytherin descendant who opened the secret room was.

He only knew that the mastermind behind each of the Harry Potter series of stories must have something to do with Voldemort, the ultimate villain.

The incident in the Chamber of Secrets should be no exception, but Sherlock couldn't imagine which aspect was related to the Dark Lord who only resurfaced last year.

He shouldn't have such a headache about the secret room.

After all, no matter how rampant the basilisk is, it is only the students who attack him and cannot affect him at all.

But Sherlock himself couldn't be cold-blooded enough to stand idly by.

If he followed the story that he didn't enter Hogwarts, no one should have died because of the secret room in this castle.

But now that he's here, everything has changed. Sherlock wants to control events in a controllable direction as much as possible, and doesn't want anyone to lose their lives because of the changes brought about by his arrival.

He is a person with normal feelings.

During the half semester of teaching at Hogwarts, he also had a feeling of anticipation for the students in this castle.

Even if it is forced, but as their teacher, he hopes that their future will be good, that they can be honest, and that their lives can be happy.

Instead of losing his life in an unexpected backroom chaos.

Just as Sherlock was analyzing the current situation bit by bit in the office, trying to find some clues, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Then Neville, whose face was extremely pale and looked listless, walked into the office cautiously.
