Someone fic this.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><small><small>It seemed to be some sort of tradition that Hogwarts had to have at least one professor no one could stand. Before, when Harry Potter was around, it was the infamous Professor Snape. After that, there had been an Arithmancy professor named Wiggins who was so unbearable that most students blocked him out of their memories completely. Now there was Holmes.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>He wasn\u2019t so bad &#8211; at least according to the girls who sighed and fawned over him. And some of the boys. Certainly enough, Holmes was good looking, but that seemed to be a running trend among the staff lately. Professor Lestrade, in Transfiguration, couldn\u2019t go more than an afternoon without a student coming in for extra practice, usually with form. Professor Watson, who doubled as flying instructor and the dueling team\u2019s coach, had more broomstick and wand jokes aimed at him than anyone cared to hear in a lifetime. But he had an easygoing personality that made him easy to joke around with. Even the teensy-bit unbalanced potions master, Professor Moriarty, had a sort of deranged charm to him, and Nurse Molly was sweet and remembered all her patients\u2019 names.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>There was no longer a curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts post, but after the first week with Holmes, most students wished it would come back. He showed up five minutes late for the first lesson and then burst in with a swish of his trailing cloak, mouth going at a thousand miles a minute.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>\u201cWands out, everyone, and you\u2019d better behave responsibly if you\u2019ve been trusted with them for three years. That means no poking, no unauthorized spells, and no being idiots, understand? Most professors like to say there\u2019s no such thing as a stupid question &#8211; I disagree; there are a lot of stupid questions, especially if you don\u2019t listen. Take every word I say as gospel and don\u2019t fall asleep or I\u2019ll throw the nearest projectile, and don\u2019t think I\u2019ll pity you if you can\u2019t deflect it in time. There will be no skiving off, because I\u2019ll know if you\u2019re lying, and random pop quizzes through the term. We\u2019ll start with Shield Charms, something even the most inadequate first-years can grasp, shall we?\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>Even if he hadn\u2019t talked to them like babies at the end, everyone hated him.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>Holmes was never happy with anyone, never smiled, and never gave praise, even if a student did something truly brilliant and inspired with his lessons. The closest he would get at complimenting someone was to lean back in his chair, feet on the desk, and say, \u201cYou could have done worse, I suppose. At least you didn\u2019t kill me.\u201d He only ever looked interested when a student lipped off in class or Professor Lestrade showed up for a word.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>That was another funny thing about Professor Holmes. He liked mysteries, but not in the way that most people liked mysteries. He solved them, even mundane ones like missing magical creatures that escaped into the forest, or students who cheated on their exams. Professor Lestrade seemed to have a lot of trouble with cheaters, and Holmes always found them, which only made the student body resent him even further.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>His pursuits brought him to dueling club practice one day, where for the first time he met Professor Watson. The moment he entered the practice room a hush fell over the students, causing Watson to look up in alarm; they all knew that one of their number was going to get in big trouble.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>\u201cSo, the best technique would be to &#8211; guys?\u201d asked Watson, turning to see Holmes in the door. His eyebrows rose. \u201cOh, Professor Holmes, what a pleasant surprise. Are you here for a lesson?\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>There were scattered giggles around the room as Holmes scowled. By then it was common knowledge that, though he was a genius in almost every other respect, Holmes was a terrible duelist. \u201cActually, I was going to correct your form,\u201d he retorted.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>Hushed \u201cOoooh\u201ds spread across the room. Watson smirked slightly. \u201cReally? And what\u2019s wrong with it?\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>\u201cIt\u2019s &#8211; ah &#8211; crooked.\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>\u201cCrooked?\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>More giggles. \u201cPerhaps it could be more improved if you didn\u2019t have a psychosomatic limp.\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>\u201cPardon?\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>\u201cYou heard me loud and clear. Your limp is psychosomatic. It\u2019s all in your head.\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>\u201cAnd what does that have to do with anything?\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>\u201cNothing, really. But I bet you ten Galleons I can fix it.\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>\u201cOh, really?\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>\u201c<em>Flipendo!<\/em>\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>Watson dodged immediately away and shot back a spell of his own. They weren\u2019t even on the dueling tarmac, and students had to quickly back away against the walls as the fight very quickly got messy. Holmes either didn\u2019t know the rules of dueling or disregarded them completely, amplifying his voice and shrieking or shooting off blinding sparks to disorient Watson before shooting a curse. Though even then Professor Watson managed to keep the fight even.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>With an almost lazy flick of his wand the spells momentarily stopped flying, and Watson snapped, \u201cThis isn\u2019t exactly a fair fight, Professor.\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>The taller man grinned. \u201cOh, come on, Professor, even your Muggle sister could do better after indulging her alcoholism.\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>Watson dropped his wand and charged at him. For a moment Holmes\u2019 eyes widened with pure panic before immobilizing Watson with a leg-locker jinx. He knelt at his colleague\u2019s side, handing back his wand. \u201cI told you it was in your head,\u201d he smirked before getting up again to point at Miranda Hodgins. \u201cYou. With me to the Headmaster\u2019s office, now.\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>He swept out, with Miranda timidly following and the remaining students in awe. Watson reversed the jinx and gaped after Holmes while absently stretching his leg. Holmes was right; he hadn\u2019t limped at all during the fight.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>Most students thought the professors would hate one another on principle after that incident, and were taken by surprise when the pair were practically inseparable from that moment on.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I love you so much\u2026^<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>TEAL, LOOK WHAT I FOUND FOR YOU.<\/p>\n<p>I love this so much. Everyone\u2019s roles fit so perfectly. I wish there was more!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019m writing a fanfic for a fanfic. Hush.<\/p>\n<p><small><small>The commotion from their duel could be heard throughout the halls of Hogwarts, catching the attention of prefect Sally Donovan. The moment she saw what was happening in the practice room, she rushed off to get her Head of House.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>Bursting into the Transfiguration room, she interrupted a lecture that Professor Lestrade had been giving the first years regarding the proper technique to transfigure a frog into a candlestick. The younger students stared at her with wide eyes, grateful for a reprieve from the lesson.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>\u201cProfessor!\u201d She panted. \u201cProfessor Holmes and Professor Watson are dueling in the practice room.\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>Professor Lestrade shook his head, he really couldn\u2019t be bothered with the antics of other professors, much less when Professor Holmes was involved.<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<p><small><small>\u201cNot my division.\u201d<\/small><\/small><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh My God! 8D<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>kriskenshin: daftwithoneshoe: fuckyeahteenlock: mybestfriend-sherlock-isdead: shooting-stetsons: buttergin: sherlockismyholmesboi: theinsultingdetective: somepeoplesayimpotato: whatsbadwolf: idk why but i\u2019m picturing him on the train going to hogwarts WHAT IF HE IS A PROFESSOR AT HOGWARTS Finally, a decent Defence\u00a0Against\u00a0the Dark Arts teacher. oh god yes John is the new flying instructor and Quidditch referee, who retired from his professional Quidditch &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/2013\/11\/01\/kriskenshin-daftwithoneshoe\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[24618,4872,4],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247631"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247631"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247631\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":247633,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247631\/revisions\/247633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merindab.com\/private\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
