When Sherlock woke up, he was already lying on the bed at Hogwarts School Hospital.

Although there is no strong smell of disinfectant here, it is still white when you open your eyes.

“It’s very good, I like white very much.”

This was the first sentence he said happily after waking up.

“It seems that the emotions have not yet subsided.”

A plain voice sounded next to it.

Sherlock tilted his head and saw Shilk sitting next to him.

“Oh! We have come out of the ground, it’s such a happy thing!”

Shilk helped him shake the bell in front of the bed and helped him shout Mrs. Pomfrey over.

“You are happy enough.”
“Don’t always be stern, Shilk, be happy, we should laugh, for example, now, I feel that I am in awesome! I am in very good condition, and I even think I can keep being happy like this!”

Just as Sherlock was chatting about very happy topics, Mrs. Pomfrey walked over with a bottle of potion.

“His condition is indeed as you said, a little overexcited.” Mrs. Pomfrey once again determined Sherlock’s current condition, “a bit like overdrinking the joy potion.”

“This bottle of sad potion should help him suppress it, but I am a little confused about how much it takes.” Mrs. Pomfrey said in confusion.

Sherlock shook his head happily.

“Sad potion? I don’t want to be sad. Isn’t happiness good? Why do people feel sad?”

However, no one will take his words seriously now. Mrs. Pomfrey studied Sherlock’s current state for a while, and finally determined the dosage of the potion, and then supervised him with his own eyes to drink the entire bottle of sad potion.

Before leaving, Shilk stayed by the hospital bed.

After drinking the potion configured by Mrs. Pomfrey, Sherlock’s condition obviously eased a lot. The smile on his face gradually calmed down and he could communicate with others normally.

“It seems that you should be cautious when using such a guardian spell in the future.” Sherlock said with a headache.

Although positive emotions overflowing are not a big problem, even without Mrs. Pomfrey’s potion, he would be happy in a week or two at most.

But if such a thing happens in a critical battle, it is still very troublesome.

Just when he was feeling a little depressed about this, Sherlock suddenly found an old locket on his neck that had never been before.

“What is this?” he said with a frown as he held the dark golden round locket.

Hilk also noticed this thing at this time.

“Didn’t you bring it with you before going underground?” Her tone became slightly serious.

Sherlock shook his head.

“No, I’ve never seen this thing.”

He tried to remove the locket from his neck, but found that he couldn’t do it at all!

There was an invisible obstacle on his body, blocking the chain of the locket between his neck and his head. No matter how he tried, he could not take it off.

Sherlock’s face became solemn.

He was not trying to remove it from himself, but looked at Shilk.

“Is this thing from that straw man?”

Shilk also realized that things were a bit unusual.

“No, when it ran away, it didn’t have this thing.”

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something.

“Its power is enhanced by fear. If it was its heyday, it would not be as weak as it is now. But after escaping to Britain, it was very low-key and did not mean to spread fear and restore its power. Instead, it came directly to Hogwarts.”

“It was trying to find something.”

Sherlock looked down at the locket hanging on his body, trying to open it, but failed.

There are obviously no snaps on the box, but there is no way to open it from the outside.

“Is this thing the thing it is looking for?” Sherlock said dullly.

For some reason, his mood suddenly began to get worse again, a little sad and a little lost.

He looked at Shilk.

“Can you tell me what that straw man is?”

Shilk said calmly.

“This is the highest secret of the German Ministry of Magic and the main target of the Mysterious Things Department for the past century.”

Sherlock heard her say this and thought she was just rejecting it, but unexpectedly, she continued.

“Its name is fiddlesticks, originally from Azkaban.”

“Azkaban?”

Sherlock raised his eyebrows.

The original owner was an expert in studying dark creatures, and the most famous dementor was his main research object.

And Dementor and Azkaban are almost symbiotic existences.

Azkaban, now the most notorious wizard prison in the entire magic world,But at the beginning, it was actually just an ordinary island on the North Sea.

In the early fifteenth century, this island never appeared on any map, neither Muggle nor Wizard’s map.

Until one day a wizard named Axtis came to the island and built a castle here, and lived here alone since then.

After Axtis arrived on this island, he was already crazy.

His magic is extremely powerful, and he often conducts some extremely evil experiments of black magic, and enjoys seducing, torture and killing the Muggle sailors here.

At that time, the Ministry of Magic was just a prototype and was not truly established. Only the Great Wizard Court, Wisengamo, had weak management of the magic world.

Azkaban, far from the British island, naturally did not receive their attention. It was not until after Axtis died that he set a hidden spell on the island that failed, and a wizard discovered the island.

But it is already filled with hundreds of terrifying monsters that can absorb people’s hope – Dementors.

This is the earliest record of large-scale group dementors in the history of the magic world.

The island was later regarded as a prison for wizard criminals by the Ministry of Magic, and all the dementors inside became prisoners.

But Dementor and the Ministry of Magic have never been an employment relationship, but a cooperative relationship.
