"Oh, what a cute little guy. Do you want to raise it? Yes, you can, but you have to take good care of it and not cause trouble to other students."
"Of course, Fat Lady, I promise."
Sherlock was holding the unnamed orange cat and reporting it to the hostess of the dormitory, whose real name was unknown and only asked everyone to call her "The Fat Lady".
Although he had applied to the "White Queen" and it was approved, as the saying goes, "the county magistrate is not as good as the current administrator." If he ignored the opinion of the dormitory administrator just because he got the approval from the vice-principal, he would end up in trouble.
The only one who will suffer is yourself.
There is a high probability that the "Fat Lady" will not argue with a child, but if he really feels offended and has the opportunity to push him, she will not hesitate to take action.
By the way, Sherlock certainly knows that the title "Fat" is rude to a woman, but it comes with her own code name, and it's not just her, the dormitory managers in all the dormitories of the four major colleges all call each other by the code name.
As far as Sherlock knows, the codenames of Thor, Loki and the warden of Hela College are "Oak Barrel", "Bronze Knocker" and "Sighing Stonewall" respectively - in comparison, "Fat Lady" is normal
too much.
After reporting to the Fat Lady, Sherlock returned to his dormitory with the orange cat in his arms - a four-person dormitory where he lived.
In fact, all dormitories at Hogwarts are configured for four people, but the school does not allocate roommates. It is an embarrassing problem to force four people who do not know each other to become friends. Students in the same college can change dormitories on their own, and have different relationships with each other.
Sharing a room with good classmates is just like choosing a lounge on the "Led Zeppelin Train". If you find that you are not compatible with each other after living together for a period of time, you are free to move out. However, this is equivalent to publicly announcing that you are no longer friends with your roommate, and it should not be used as a last resort.
No one should do that.
As for Sherlock, although he attracted much attention because of his ability to bring down the professor, he was also criticized because the equally dangerous Moriarty was a bit unclear and could always easily analyze the private information of strangers.
His classmates stayed away from him, and he was currently the only one living in the four-person dormitory.
It would be convenient to raise a cat, if it is indeed a cat.

"So, this 'Mr. Cat'?"
After carrying the orange cat back to the dormitory and putting away his belongings, Sherlock put the cat on the table and looked at it:
"Why did you come to me specifically?"
Sherlock has already learned the details of the meeting between his "other self" and the cat through "uncertainty": when Professor Donald started his class, he followed Professor Donald into the classroom majestically, and sat in the empty seat very naturally.
We sat down to listen to the class, but both the professor and the students thought it was brought by the other party and ignored its existence. After class, it jumped onto Sherlock's shoulder very skillfully and expressed its attitude of going with him.
"..." The orange cat looked at Sherlock with contempt, then raised his paw and pointed at the bracelet-shaped "two structures" he wore on his wrist.
Indeed, it is strange to expect an animal that does not look like it has vocal organs to speak human words, but can it use two forms?
When Sherlock took off the bracelet and tried to hand it to the orange cat, it opened its "tentacled mouth" and swallowed the "two structures" directly.
...At least it doesn't hurt anyone. Sherlock lowered his head and looked at his empty hand without any scars.
"[There is danger ahead, we should retreat immediately, Commander.]" the orange cat said.
"Huh? You can talk?" Sherlock glared at the cat.
"[If your brain development is relatively complete among your kind, you should understand what I mean, stupid arthropod creature.]" the orange cat replied.
"No, it seems..."
"[The next battle is very dangerous. I hope you will be prepared instead of blindly going to die.]" the orange cat continued.
"This is a dialogue in the main plot of "Mass Effect", and it belongs to a different character." Sherlock looked at the orange cat: "You can't speak, you can only use two-dimensional dialogue to play lines that are similar to what you want to express.
?"
"[Hmph, it seems you are not useless.]"
"Why don't you cut out each word individually and then splice them together? Although it may sound strange, at least the words themselves will make sense." Sherlock suggested.
"[I need technical support!]" Orange Cat replied.
Okay, he is just a cat and has no editing function.
"Okay, okay, then what should I call you?" Sherlock began to think about which of the many names in Mass Effect sounded better.
"[Goose.]" the orange cat replied.
"I'm sure that's an onomatopoeia," Sherlock blinked: "Are you sure you want to use this name?"
"[My mother started this!]" the orange cat, or Gulu, responded.
"Okay, Gollum," Sherlock shrugged: "You are supposed to be here to warn me that I will encounter danger, but I am very convinced that Hogwarts is one of the safest places on earth."
"[The most dangerous place is the safest.]" Gulu said a line that was completely incorrect but seemed to be okay.
"Well... this way" Sherlock thought for a while: "You will come to me, you should know my skills, so please tell the whole thing using lines that you think can express your meaning, and I will see how much I can understand.
From now on, just answer me with 'yes' and 'no'."
Gulu licked his paws, seemed to think about it for a while, and then said:
"[The ancient evil is about to awaken. All life in the galaxy is doomed. The raging darkness will engulf everything. Only the super weapon left for us by the civilization in the previous reincarnation can defeat it. But to activate this weapon, there is still a lack of a weapon.
There is something called the 'Catalyst', we must get it before the 'Reaper' finds it.】"
...I don’t understand the current situation, it’s only true after being spoiled. Is this the legendary client unpacking?
Sherlock cursed a few words and began to try to analyze the orange cat's words in the context of "Mass Effect".
"Do you mean, 'There is a powerful enemy coming to the earth soon. Their attack range is very large and fast. Even Hogwarts is not safe, but the methods or weapons to defeat them already exist, but something is missing.
, and I can help you find that.'"
Gulu's eyes widened: "[I am impressed by you, Commander.]"
"This is just simple reasoning, my friend," Sherlock began to wonder: "Then, the next question is, is such a thing in Hogwarts?"
"[Yes,]" Gulu replied, then thought for a few seconds and added: "[That is a secret.]"
