Harry felt that he was actually very satisfied with this birthday. He even had the urge to stay up late tonight to finish his Defense Against the Dark Arts homework. Even if the professor in the new semester was not Professor Holmes, he still wanted to give back to the professor in this way.

Just as he was about to go to bed, he noticed outside the window, in the golden moonlight, three owls were flying towards him in a crooked manner.

Two of them were holding up the third, which appeared to be unconscious.

They fluttered down onto Harry's bed, and the large grey owl in the middle fell down immediately, motionless, with a large bundle tied to its leg.

Harry recognized the unconscious owl immediately - its name was Errol, and it belonged to the Weasley family.

Harry rushed to the bed, untied the ropes from Errol's legs, took the bundle, and carried Errol to Hedwig's cage. Errol opened one blurry eye, gave a feeble cry of thanks, and gulped down the water.

This time he looked at the other two owls, one was his owl Hedwig, and the other was a tawny owl he didn't recognize.

When he untied the package on the man, he flew away directly.

He carefully spread the gift and envelope on the bed.

A broom care kit from Hermione, who was still on vacation in France; and a clipping of the Daily Prophet and a pocket speculum from Ron, who was still in Egypt.

(Ron: If anyone suspicious is around, it lights up and spins. Bill says it's a shoddy product sold to wizarding tourists and can't be trusted, because it kept lighting up during dinner last night. But he didn't notice Fred and George had put a beetle in his soup. Poor Bill, he had just helped them...)

Harry tried hard not to laugh at this.

There is also a box containing a book called "Monster Book of Monsters" given by the Hogwarts gamekeeper. It is a strange book with fangs that can attack people.

Finally, there was a box. When Harry opened it, he found a birthday cake and a note.

Happy Birthday, Boss Dobi Dobi!

[This cake was made by Dobby himself for Harry Potter. The boss taught me a lot of tricks. I hope you like it.]

"More than!"

Harry still remembered the house-elf that had prevented him from going to school last year. If it hadn't been for Professor Holmes, he wouldn't have known how long he would have been harassed.

When I saw it was sent by him, although I knew that he had no bad intentions towards me, I couldn't help but feel that he had bad behavior.

Especially there is an unknown boss.

In the end, he still couldn't bear to throw the cake into the trash can. After all, it was the cake he received on his birthday.

But I didn’t dare to eat the cake. In the end, I put it on the table to decorate the birthday atmosphere.

He still remembered that Dobby could appear in his house at will, and he didn't understand why the other party didn't show up directly, but instead sent an owl to deliver it. Harry bet that the other party must have intercepted the owl again.

Unfortunately, Harry's happiness only lasted one night.

The next morning at around ten o'clock, the Dursleys prepared to take Aunt Marge home.

Aunt Marge was Uncle Vernon's sister. Although Harry had no blood relationship with her (Harry's mother was Aunt Petunia's sister), Harry was forced to call her "Auntie". Aunt Marge lived in a house with a large garden in the country and had many bulldogs.

She did not often stay at Privet Drive, as she was reluctant to leave her precious dogs, but each visit left a horrifying impression on Harry that he still remembered vividly.

Humiliating experiences such as almost having my legs broken, being chased up a tree by a dog, and being fed dog food all came to mind.

Even Harry's uncle Vernon threatened him with the guardian's signature, forcing him to agree to some unequal treaties.

For example, you have to be polite, not show any weirdness, and you have to admit that you are at the St. Bruce Secure Center School for Juvenile Offenders.

Harry gritted his teeth and told himself that everything was for Hogsmeade.

He didn't expect to receive such a birthday gift on his birthday. He would rather receive a pair of smelly socks from Uncle Vernon!

Just when Aunt Marge moved into the Dursley household, Douglas also received a report from Dobby.

Chapter 157 Sorry, I couldn't help it

Douglas prepared the gift and walked towards the Dursleys' house alone.

Through the balcony glass, you can see the family happily eating lunch, of course, Harry is not included in the happiness.

Douglas stood at the door. Just as he reached for the doorbell, a woman's roar came from inside:

"Don't say 'yes' in that ungrateful tone. It's good enough that Vernon and Petunia took you in. I wouldn't have done that. If they had left you on my doorstep, you would have gone straight to an orphanage."

There was another round of talking. Douglas didn't listen carefully, but he could vaguely hear some humiliating words.

Then came the woman's roar again.

"...you lying little scoundrel, they left you to be a burden to these respectable, hard-working relatives!"

"Like I said the other day, it's all genetics. Bad genes will show up sooner or later. Oh, Penny, I'm not saying anything bad about your family..."

"boom!"

The Dursleys' door suddenly exploded...

Fortunately, the restaurant was far away from the main gate and no one was injured.

Everyone in the house was terrified, and Aunt Marge and Dudley screamed.

Vernon and Petunia looked at Harry, who was standing not far away, with grim expressions.

Harry yelled nervously:

"not me!"

He was also wondering whether he should go upstairs to get his wand.

After saying that, he ignored Vernon and Petunia, and stared at the smoke produced by the explosion at the door. Through the smoke, he could vaguely see a figure.

The smoke and dust cleared, and Douglas appeared at the door.

There was also a frightened old bulldog in the room. When it saw the person standing at the door, it started barking and wanted to pounce on Douglas and bite him.

Douglas has a trick up his sleeve for dealing with dogs lately. He glared at the old bulldog, and the dog tucked its tail between its legs and ducked under the table.

Aunt Maggie saw her little baby suddenly crawl under the table, and she moved her fat body to crawl under to comfort him:

"Lippy, poor old Lippy, what's the matter with you..."

Harry looked at Douglas with an expression of excitement and grievance. At this time, he no longer cared about the guardian's signature.

Penny screamed, pointed at Douglas and said:

"It's you... Get out of here! You're not welcome in our house, you little Holmes..."

Vernon, who was about to pick up his shotgun, stopped and looked at the man at the door in surprise.

The boy from the Holmes family knew that when Penny's parents came, they lived in that person's house. Since the car accident, the only son who survived and was unharmed in that family went to an orphanage.

At the time, he told Penny that this was a wise choice.

But he was puzzled as to how his wife knew the adult Holmes...

Not only was he stunned, even Harry was confused. He kept wondering if the explosion of the door had damaged his ears. It seemed like Aunt Petunia was talking about Sherlock Holmes just now. He tried hard to pick his ears, thinking that he must have heard it wrong.

Then he said to everyone excitedly:

"He's not a bad guy, he's my professor, Professor Holmes. Just now... I think it was just an accident... right, professor..."

At the end of the conversation, Harry's confidence was running out. His face looked calm, as if the explosion just now was not caused by him.

Petunia looked at Harry in shock, then at Douglas, and then at Vernon.

The couple had a tacit understanding for many years, and they both shouted in unison:

"Maggie, take Dudley back to his room!"

When Aunt Marge heard Harry calling Professor Douglas, she had already struggled to get out from under the table.

Roared angrily:

"I know who you are, the disaster star in the Holmes family that no one wants to adopt... Your parents died in a car accident, but you are the only one who is fine. Oh, and Petunia's parents... Vernon, what are you going to do... Woo woo..."

Before she could finish her words, Vernon rushed over and covered her mouth...

The two fat guys were tangling with each other, causing Dudley to laugh while holding a chicken leg in one hand.

Harry was still in shock. He didn't understand how his professor could have any connection with his aunt's family. When he was wondering if Petunia's parents were his grandparents, he saw Douglas's mouth curled up slightly.

He immediately felt bad. The last time he saw the professor laugh like this, his homework became heavier. He didn't think Professor Holmes would assign homework to a Muggle.

So, he didn't care about his grievances anymore, and rushed forward, trying hard to force a smile and said:

"Professor, calm down, calm down, you can't argue with a Muggle, don't be angry..."

While trying to persuade Douglas, Harry grabbed Douglas's right sleeve. He remembered that the professor's wand was hidden in his sleeve, and he must not let the other party draw his wand. Attacking Muggles is illegal...

Douglas noticed Harry's behavior and said lightly:

"Let go, I'm not you, I won't do anything to her."

Harry blinked, wondering what he had done. What did it mean that it wasn't him?

But he still asked cautiously:

"Really?"

Douglas snorted coldly:

"Professor Questioning, although this isn't a school and the semester hasn't started yet, I can't deduct points from you. However, you'll need to add another assignment!"

Harry felt like he was electrocuted. He immediately let go of Douglas's hand and said sincerely:

"Professor, I swear, I absolutely believe you and have never had any doubts!"

Aunt Marge finally broke free from her brother's clutches at this time, pushed Vernon away, pointed at Douglas's nose and cursed:

"You're this guy's professor. Humph. I never thought that the St. Bruce Security Center Juvenile School actually calls its teachers professors... Wait, Penny, didn't you say this guy went to an orphanage? How did he end up in that kind of place again? Your family's genes really aren't good..."

"Shut up, Maggie!"

Penny finally exploded and yelled at Maggie in her shrill voice.

Then, she forced a smile and leaned out of the window to explain to the neighbors who were watching the fun:

"Sorry to bother you all, our door is broken, so we hired a repairman..."

After saying that, he slammed the window shut, his movements as smooth as flowing water.

Aunt Marge recovered from her shock and yelled at Petunia:

"Don't you dare yell at me! I'm Vernon's sister, don't you dare yell at me!"

The roar made Douglas's forehead hurt, and he snapped his fingers.

"Shut up, you're so noisy! Now go back to your room and sleep. Don't come out until dark!"

Aunt Maggie, who had been so arrogant just now, suddenly became dazed. She muttered Douglas' words in a low voice, and then moved her fat body towards her room.

Chapter 158 True Ink

Seeing this scene, Penny, who was arrogant just now, narrowed her pupils. She carefully ran towards Dudley, who was covering his butt and seemed to be remembering something bad, and hugged his head and whispered comfort.

Vernon tried to open his eyes wide, his fat body trembling as he pointed at Douglas and shouted:

"What on earth have you done? This room is not allowed to be used... used..."

Douglas said lightly:

"She was fine, but she was a bit noisy, so I asked her to go back to her room and take a nap, and she could wake up when it got dark.

Also, do you think she will be able to listen to our next conversation?"

Vernon looked at Aunt Marge with heartache, but in the end he said nothing.

Penny kept urging Dudley to go back to his room, but Dudley just wouldn't listen.

There was a brief silence in the room, and Harry finally had time to think about the question he had just asked.

He looked at Maggie, then at Penny, then at Douglas, and said cautiously:

"Professor, she just mentioned your family, right? You and Aunt Petunia are family, so does that mean..."

Harry was a little excited, but he didn't dare to confirm it, for fear that the news he heard would be different from what he guessed.

Douglas patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Wait a minute!"

Then he drew out his wand and pointed it at the door that had just been blown up. Soon the door magically returned to its original appearance.

Dudley was so frightened when he saw this scene that he trembled all over. He remembered that he was also pointed at by a weirdo with an umbrella, and then he grew a pig's tail.

Penny hugged him tightly and whispered soothing words.
