Even if the search of the students is fruitless, the teaching routine at Hogwarts has to continue.

However, Dumbledore was not immune to this.

After Colin was attacked and all of Hagrid's chickens were strangled to death, Dumbledore specifically asked Hagrid to buy a group of healthy roosters from outside and raise them separately.

These seemingly inconspicuous animals are actually the best weapons against basilisks.

But the atmosphere among the students has obviously changed from before.

This time, the sense of unease did not disappear for a while, but spread among the students.

Sherlock was especially aware of this phenomenon.

After he finished his second-year Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he could clearly feel it. The students' performance after class is not as active as before.

He tapped the podium lightly with the book, attracting the little wizard's attention to him.

"In the next class, we will start talking about snake-like black magic creatures. Interested students can prepare in advance, collect data, and prepare for next week's class."

As soon as he finished speaking, a Ravenclaw student raised his hand and asked strangely.

"But Professor, we don't have any content about snake-like black magic creatures in our textbooks this year?"

The other students also looked suspicious.

Explaining snake-like black magic creatures is naturally to let these children know some relevant weaknesses and knowledge about basilisks in advance, so as to prevent the next attack from happening again, these students at least know how to save their lives.

This is not only Sherlock's own idea, he also consulted Dumbledore, and the other party agreed with him.

Facing the students' questions, he found an excuse to deal with it.

"You guys have been too nervous recently. Let's leave the book temporarily and find some interesting knowledge."

The students looked at each other, they didn't think snakes were any interesting magical knowledge.

However, Hogwarts has no clear rules on how to teach in class.

The class of Defense Against the Dark Arts is Sherlock's. Even if he wants to teach students to study nuclear fission in class, the students can only listen carefully.

Just as Sherlock was packing up and preparing to leave, the three of Harry suddenly and quietly touched him again.

Sherlock stopped, glanced at them and said.

"I heard that you were yelling in the auditorium yesterday that you wanted to see me? Is there anything else? Don't you still suspect that I'm actually the murderer?"

Harry smiled awkwardly and rubbed his hands.

"Without a professor, how could we possibly suspect that you are the murderer? We just want to ask you a favor, a very small favor."

Hermione hurriedly handed a piece of parchment paper in her hand to Sherlock's hand, and together with Ron Harry and the others, looked at him expectantly.

Sherlock glanced suspiciously at their strange behavior before looking at the parchment.

The above is just a simple line of words:

'Harry won't pick up a copper nut at Hogwarts today. ’

After reading the above line, Sherlock looked at them even more strangely.

"How do I know if Harry can pick up money at Hogwarts today? What are you doing? A magical spell that uses language as a medium? You want to curse me?"

It's almost like your old man cursed us!

Of course, Harry and the others didn't dare to say it in front of Sherlock. They didn't have any reason for Sherlock to read this sentence, so they could only keep pestering him and begging.

"Professor, we are only thirteen years old! How can we curse you! I really just want to ask you a favor, just read this sentence out, just read it out!"

"Please, Professor! This is really important to us! Please!"

"I don't have credit for you, but I have toiled hard, professor. Think about the hard work I have to help you collect your homework, help you borrow books from the library, and help you pass messages to other professors, so please help!"

Sherlock silently looked at the three students who seemed to be out of their minds, and doubted how they finally defeated Voldemort.

He was so annoyed that there was nothing he could do. For this matter, he would deduct points from the three stinky boys, so he said something perfunctory.

"Harry won't pick up a copper nut at Hogwarts today, right? Don't bother me, let's go."

All three of Harry's faces suddenly showed a look of joy.

However, they did not leave immediately, but asked cautiously.

"Professor, do you think Harry can really find money in the castle?"

Sherlock was a little tired from being tossed about by them.

"How do I know if he can find money in the castle? If I knew this, would I tell you?"

Hearing him say this, Harry and the others cheered even more, bowed their heads and thanked him one by one, and then ran away in two steps.

Sherlock went back to his office to prepare relevant materials about snake-like black magic creatures. He must not just talk about basilisks, it would be too obvious, so he had a lot of work.

Harry, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, Hermione, Ron, and the three of them, after asking Sherlock for the prophecy of Crow's Mouth, they spent the rest of their time strolling around the castle.

When they walked, they kept staring at the ground, hoping that Harry would pick up a copper nut.

During lunch time, Ginny stared at Ron and the others curiously.

"Why do you keep staring under the table? I thought I dropped the food?"

There was nothing to gain all morning, which made Ron feel a little irritable, and he waved to Ginny to drive away.

"It's none of your business."

Ginny pouted and snorted. She didn't have the mood to share her experience in the principal's office yesterday with them.

In the afternoon, Harry and the others have another spell class to attend, so they can't walk around the castle all the time.

However, after the curse ended, they continued to start their own business of collecting money.

If Harry can really pick up a copper nut in the castle today, it means that Sherlock's crow's mouth is a miracle, and even if it goes against his heart, it can be activated successfully.

Then Hogwarts will be saved!

But until they finished their dinner, let alone copper nut, they didn't see anything resembling coins for a day.

It wasn't until curfew time was about to start that Harry and the three returned to the Gryffindor lounge with great disappointment.

"It seems that if the professor's crow mouth wants to launch a success, he must tell the truth."

Ron said disappointedly.

Although Hermione was also very disappointed, she had expected such a result.

"If the professor with a utilitarian mentality can activate this ability no matter what he says, then he will be more powerful than all the wizards in the world."
