I’m Only A Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor

Chapter 1: The House, The Will and The Owl

Sherlock got out of a taxi, took a few pounds from his pocket, and paid the driver. Standing on the side of the road, he couldn’t help being surprised by the dilapidated house in front of him.

It has been almost a week since he came to this world. Sherlock Forrest is a typical Western English name, and he has long been used to it.

This is a very clichéd world travel story. As a fresh graduate living in China in the 21st century, he was accidentally hit by an electric car on his way to his first job interview.

He fell into a river, which caused him to drown. When he woke up again, he found that he had been transported to the body of a young British man lying on a hospital bed.

He was very unfamiliar with everything around him that had changed. He was very confused at first.

But he has always controlled his emotions fairly well, didn’t make any drastic actions in the hospital, nor did he say anything wrong. After a detailed examination by a group of doctors, they explained the condition that he had just experienced.

He suffered from an amnesia caused by a blow to the head. There is no doubt that he didn’t know anything about the situation and didn’t even inherit his previous memory.

After that, he used the excuse of having amnesia and openly learned from the doctor in the hospital all kinds of information about the body he possessed in this world. Sherlock Forrest is an ordinary 20-year-old unemployed young man in Surrey, England.

At home, he fell from the second floor because of an accident and fainted. Fortunately, the neighbor next door discovered it in time and sent him to the hospital.

When he woke again, the original Sherlock had become the new Sherlock who had passed through. The time is now the United Kingdom in 1992.

This country is going through a period of economic decline. The northern superpower has just announced its disintegration.

Less than a year later, the whole of Europe appears to be a little dejected. In the coming August, most European countries will be caught in a financial crisis caused by currency devaluation, and the UK will be the most affected by it.

This is the only major event that will happen in the UK this year. He has occasionally attended several major finance courses in his spare time.

He never dared to think that this plot that would only appear in novels would happen to him. After two days in the hospital, he gradually accepted this fact.

Originally, he was a person who went with the flow. In his previous life, he was an orphan.

Except for a bunch of friends he met in school, he had nothing special in his life. It may not be a bad thing for him to travel to England at the end of the 20th century.

With the vision and knowledge far beyond this era, he might be able to get something in his new life. Sherlock accepts reality and officially accepts his new identity.

He was released after staying in the hospital for two more days and having the doctor confirm that he had no other problems. Sherlock doesn’t seem to have any relatives either.

A week has passed after being hospitalized, and not even anyone comes to visit him. For Sherlock, even though he did not inherit the memory, this is a good thing.

If he really has relatives like his parents, he really doesn’t know how to deal with it. The doctor did not ask him to pay the expenses until he was discharged from the hospital.

After telling him that he could be discharged from the hospital, he handed him a note, telling him that the address written on it was his home. Sherlock used the few pounds in his pocket to take a taxi to his home in this world, which was written on the note.

This two-story building looks a bit shabby from the outside. The walls outside had already begun to crack, and the floor tiles in front of the house were also full of cracks.

The weeds in the yard were obviously not taken care of for a long time, and the gate in front of the yard was covered with rust. At first glance, people who don’t know will probably subconsciously think that this is a haunted house where some old witch lived.

Sherlock shook his head and smiled bitterly. Whether it’s a man’s house or a haunted house, it’s already very good for him to have a house now, and he can’t be so picky about it.

At the same time, looking at the house in front of him, his eyes became sharper. Before he was transmigrated, he was an orphan who was able to get into a famous institution and get a scholarship.

In this world, with his knowledge and advantage of the future, he believes that his future life will be better than before. Sherlock was determined, clenched his fists slightly, stood in front of the house, and whispered to himself.

“Time to work hard!” However, before he walked into his house, the sound of the car turning off suddenly sounded behind him. Sherlock looked back in surprise and found a luxury car parked behind him.

The car door opened, and an old man with white hair and clean clothes, by the looks of it, seemed to be expensive clothing.

“Congratulations on your recovery, but unfortunately, on the day you were discharged, Master’s condition deteriorated, and he is now in the hospital.” Sherlock was confused. The old man bowed and handed a document to him.

“Master said that your memory loss is not a bad thing, and he doesn’t want to trouble you more.”

“As long as you are willing to promise never to have contact with those people again, then his title and family property are yours.”

“After all, you are his own flesh and blood. He doesn’t want to give his cold-blooded relatives the titles handed down from his ancestors and the family property he has worked hard for most of his life.”

“This contract is both an agreement and a will. As long as you are willing to sign it, you can inherit all the properties of the Cavendish family.” The old man sighed deeply and shoved the will into his hand. He looked at Sherlock, who was standing in the same place and was shocked by his words.

He was speechless by this encounter.

“Young master, don’t be angry with… Forget it.

You don’t remember anything now. But your father really wants you to inherit the title of the Cavendish family.

If you have thought about it, call me according to the number, and I will take you to see master as soon as possible.” After finishing speaking, the old man sat back in the car, and the car started and drove away slowly.

After standing in a daze for more than several minutes, Sherlock was startled by the sound of a horn on the road. He looked blankly at the will in his hand and the dilapidated house in front of him.

In this world, did he come from a rich family? His father is seriously ill and will die in the near future. As long as he signs this will, the things that he has will eventually all be left to him.

Sherlock’s brain was completely blank. He stared at the clear sky, and there was a little black spot there.

A big smirk gradually appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself again.

“Screw hard work and everything! I want to have fun!” While he was speaking, the black spot in the sky was getting closer and closer.

An owl stretched its wings, gliding over Sherlock’s head and, at the same time, dropping him something. A logo printed with a lion, snake, eagle, and badger surrounding the letter “H” hit Sherlock’s face.
