Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Douglas put down his pen and took Harry's paper.

Harry asked quietly:

"Do you know who the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will be next term? Do you know him?"

Douglas sneered and said without even looking up:

"Of course I know you. Don't worry, I'll ask him to pay special attention to you..."

Harry had a look of rejection on his face, but he didn't dare to say anything more, fearing that if he said one more word, Douglas would ask the new professor to take care of him more, such as re-recording the text...

I could only watch Douglas marking my homework quietly.

"Dobby will be back soon, and he'll Apparate you directly back to the Dursleys..."

Harry asked quietly:

"What is Apparition? Is it the same magic that Dobby always appears out of nowhere?"

Douglas did not answer his question, but said:

"You really should read more books. The third book from the bottom of the bookshelf, the fifth book on your left, contains what you want to know."

Harry was already used to the embarrassment. To be honest, he had never felt the pressure of being urged to do homework during the holidays.

He pulled the book "A Brief Discussion on Apparition" from the bookshelf and began to read it carefully.

[Apparition is only available to witches and wizards aged 17 and over...]

Harry muttered softly:

"You can only learn it when you're seventeen. No wonder I didn't know. Maybe only Hermione would watch magic from the senior grades."

Soon, Dobby came out of the utility room: "Boss..."

Douglas nodded, asked Harry to wait, and followed Dobby into the utility room.

Soon, Douglas shook his head in disappointment and walked out, and Dobby quickly sent the dog back to its original place.

During this time, he had studied some of the house-elf magic many times, especially Apparition.

Finally, he tried some of the runes he had just learned, setting up a new Apparition/Disapparition counter-spell in the house.

Compared to the original Apparition/Disapparition counterspell, it not only adds an additional counter to house-elves' Apparition/Disapparition, but also allows you to set targets within the magic circle to Apparition/Disapparate.

Douglas and Dobby were the only ones in the room who could Apparate.

The success of the rune magic circle made Douglas see the feasibility of combining the magic of the two worlds.

Chapter 162 Sirius: Physics in the left hand and magic in the right hand, who isn’t afraid?

With a burst of air, Dobby brought Harry to the Dursleys' house, into Harry's room.

Harry knelt on the floor, breathing in big gulps of air. It felt like he was stuffed into a rubber tube, and every part of his body was squeezed back into his body...

Dobby had to return immediately after sending Harry home due to Douglas's request, otherwise he would definitely relapse and start punishing himself constantly.

At this moment, Harry's door was suddenly opened. Vernon Dursley turned on the light in the room and laughed at Harry's expression.

"You little brat, I thought your cousin would be so kind and friendly to you, but it turns out he's torturing you... It seems I was right, they're all a bunch of lunatics..."

Harry caught his breath, stared at Vernon without saying a word, and then began to make his bed...

At this time, Vernon said fiercely, but in a low voice:

"Since you don't have to go through the door to go home, I will lock the door. I hope you won't show up at home these few days. I told Maggie that we have sent you back to St. Bruce's Security Center for Juvenile Offenders... So you..."

Harry continued:

"I promise not to make any noise that would let them know I'm home... But you have to sign my permission form, otherwise..."

Vernon said with a sneer on his face:

"What else can I do? If you dare to do anything wrong, I will complain to your uncle, the professor. Don't forget that we are relatives.

I think no matter how abnormal that person is, he will have his own way of educating a disobedient kid...

By the way, why don’t you ask your professor cousin to sign it... hehe."

Vernon locked the door from the outside with a mocking look on his face.

He had figured it out and knew that it was not bad to know that there was a professor from the school in that world living nearby. At least if Harry dared to mess up at home, he would have someone to complain to. If he couldn't educate him, there would always be someone who could.

In this way, Harry was taken in and out by Dobby using Apparition. After a few times, he gradually got used to the feeling of Apparition.

On the third night, after Dobby sent Harry away, he continued to hide in the dark and began patrolling.

Because of Dobby, there are fewer and fewer stray dogs around here, so it is easy to tell whether there are any stray dogs or not.

When it was patrolling along the low wall of Magnolia Crescent Street, it suddenly noticed a pair of bright eyes staring at it in the bushes beside it, and it began to slowly retreat.

Dobby took a closer look and saw that it was a big black dog with fluffy and dirty hair. Wow, he had another harvest today.

The magic rope wrapped around his arm flew towards the black dog like a flying snake. The black dog turned around and tried to escape.

He didn't understand why he saw house-elves in a Muggle community, especially those wearing neat clothes.

And the other party wanted to catch me as soon as he saw me. Could it be that he recognized me?

But at this time he had no wand in his hand, so he could only run away frantically. Once caught, he might be sent back to Azkaban again.

Given his current physical condition, he couldn't guarantee that he could swim across the North Sea safely (Azkaban, also known as Azkaban Prison, is a prison located on a small island in the middle of the North Sea).

But he hadn't run a few steps when he was tied up tightly with a rope. His limbs were tied up as tightly as a pig. The most hateful thing was that the other party also tied his mouth.

Just as the big black dog was about to release his Animagus state and try to escape from the magic rope in human form.

Dobby the house-elf stepped forward and whispered:

"Big black dog, don't be afraid. My boss just wants to find a dog, so he won't hurt you."

After saying that, before the black dog could react, the house elf grabbed one of its legs...

When they appeared at Douglas's house, Dobby looked at the big black dog in surprise. This was the first dog that did not react after Apparition.

Some of the dogs fainted out of fright, some struggled desperately, but this one didn't seem to care at all about the Apparition process.

Dobby quickly called Douglas over. When Douglas saw the dog for the first time, he had a feeling that this was the Sirius Black he was looking for.

Although Blake tried to look like a normal stray dog, there was no real fear in his eyes.

Douglas once saw Sirius Black's transformed appearance in Peter Pettigrew's memory. Although there were some differences from his current appearance, the similarity was still very high.

Although Animagus can only transform into one animal, and if there are any defects in the body, the animal it transforms into will also have corresponding defects (for example, Peter Pettigrew is missing a finger, and after turning into a mouse he is also missing a toe).

But clothing and accessories like glasses or jewelry will melt into the skin, turning into fur, scales, or claws and spikes.

So Douglas hadn't asked Dobby to find a dog that looked exactly like the one he had more than ten years ago.

He took back the rope and casually turned the two objects in the utility room into two chairs.

Then he smiled and said to the big black dog that had been growling but not making any movement:

"Mr. Black, I trust you do not need my assistance in removing your Animagus state?"

The big black dog suddenly pounced towards Douglas with a hoarse grin.

Frightened, Debi stretched out his finger and with a bang, knocked the black dog away and smashed the shelf on the wall.

Dobby quickly began to use magic to repair the shelves.

Douglas looked at Dobby speechlessly:

"Dobby, think before you cast magic next time. This is our own home..."

Then Douglas said to the black dog lying on the ground whimpering:

"Mr. Black, let me introduce myself. My name is Douglas Holmes, professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and also Harry Potter's cousin.

Moreover, I also know why you escaped from Azkaban. After all, it is hard not to be suspicious of a rat that has lived for more than ten years..."

To everyone's surprise, the big black dog suddenly turned into a man.

The man walked out from the shadows of the room, his messy hair hanging down to his elbows. If it weren't for the bright light in his eyes in the deep eye sockets, Douglas would have thought he was a dead man.

The waxy white skin was stretched tightly over his cheekbones, making him look like a skull. He was the fugitive wanted by the Ministry of Magic—Sirius Orion Black.

Blake showed his yellow teeth, panted heavily, and asked in a hoarse voice, as if he had not spoken for a long time:

"Who are you anyway? I've never heard James or Lily mention that she has a cousin. And how do you know where the traitor is?"

Douglas sniffed and said:

"Mr. Black, we have plenty of time to talk. I suggest you take a hot shower and change your clothes first, then we can eat and talk.

I don't think you would run away casually, after all, Harry comes here to do his homework every day."

But Blake's mind seemed to be a little off. He rushed forward, grabbed Douglas by the collar, and roared madly and angrily:

"Tell me, why do you know the existence of that traitor..."

Douglas waved Dobby to stop moving, then grabbed Black's hand and pried open his fingers one by one, sneering and saying:

"Mr. Black, I know much more than you think. Don't worry, the traitor won't get away. All you have to do now is recuperate and then seek revenge on that guy..."

Blake found that the opponent was extremely strong. When the opponent grabbed his arm with his left hand, he was actually locked.

The most important thing is to just talk and compete in strength. Why do you hold the wand in your right hand against your heart?

However, this situation also calmed him down. It was not that he was afraid of death, but he did not want to let the traitor be at large before he died.

Chapter 163 Are you a Slytherin?

When Sirius Black finished his shower and changed his clothes.

The whole mental outlook seems much more comfortable.

Dobby also prepared some food and placed it on the dining table.

Sirius had just sat down and was about to ask the previous question again.

But Douglas simply took out a photo and handed it to Sirius.

There were five people in the photo. One of them walked forward to open the door, and the others were eating at the dining table in the house.

Then one of them seemed to be choked, and a vermicelli flew out of his nostril, scaring the others to quickly protect their bowls...

Sirius had a strange expression on his face, three parts smile, three parts sadness, and four parts hatred. He gently stroked the photo and called softly: James, James.

Douglas looked at Sirius and suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful, but still said:

"That's Harry Potter, not James Potter..."

Sirius didn't seem to hear what Douglas said. He pointed at Ron in the photo and asked anxiously:

"Why is the Weasley boy with Harry? Are they often together?"

Douglas nodded and said:

"They were best friends, both Gryffindors, not always together, but practically glued together.

I know what you're worried about, Peter isn't that stupid..."

Hearing this name, Sirius lost his mind again and immediately stood up, muttering to himself:

"I'm going to kill him, kill that traitor..."

Douglas had to raise his voice and shout:

"Mr. Black, calm down. How are you going to get to the Scottish Highlands in your current state? Eat something first and listen to me."

But Sirius ignored Douglas and rushed towards the door.

Douglas waved his hand, and the rope flew out from his wrist, binding Sirius tightly from hand to toe.

Sirius roared:

"Let me go, I want revenge, I want revenge for James..."

Douglas didn't indulge him. He waved his wand, placed him on the chair, and said to Dobby:

"Dobby, feed him."

Then he turned to Sirius and said:
