Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

"When are you full? Then we can talk. If you die on the way, how will I explain to Harry later..."

Sirius snorted coldly, looked at Douglas and said disdainfully:

"This is just a useless little trick. Don't think I don't know that in Harry's heart I'm a murderer and a betrayer of James and Lily. Will he care about me?"

Douglas knocked on the table and asked curiously:

"Don't you want to clear your name and take good care of Harry in the name of godfather?

You just found Peter and killed him. In the eyes of others, it was just a dead mouse, but you are still the notorious wanted criminal. "

Sirius said in a sorrowful tone:

"Injustice? No, I have never been wronged... If it weren't for me, James and Lily wouldn't have died at all. I don't feel wronged at all.

I think Harry must be doing well, with you, a Hogwarts professor, as his cousin, he must be doing well..."

Douglas found it difficult to communicate effectively with the other party and his mind was full of revenge.

He asked Dobby to feed Sirius while he said:

"When I first met Peter, he was a mouse, kept as a pet by the Weasley children.

Then one day, I got a mysterious alchemical map and discovered that the mouse had a name, Peter Perum. This discovery surprised me.

I once saw this name in the Daily Prophet. He was killed by Sirius Black while hunting him down. He was recognized as a hero by the wizarding world and was awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class.

Why would a dead person's name appear on a mouse?

This piqued my curiosity, so I tried the Animagus counter-spell..."

When Sirius heard Douglas' words, he suddenly looked at Douglas and said:

"You found the Marauder's Map?"

Douglas looked at Sirius and said with a smile:

"This is a wonderful alchemical product. It's hard to imagine that you were able to research such a superb alchemical item during your student days..."

Sirius was surprised. He didn't know how the other party knew that he was one of the creators of the Marauder's Map, and he could also accurately find the way to open the Marauder's Map. It seemed that this person was not a quiet person in school.

Douglas continued to tell what he knew.

When Sirius heard Douglas using Peter Pettigrew to practice various magic, even Legilimency.

Only then did he understand why the other party knew these things.

Douglas said that every time he finished practicing magic, he would erase Peter Pettigrew's memory of that period, and he did this many times.

When Sirius heard this, he burst into laughter with tears in his eyes, and sprayed the food in his mouth all over the table:

"Hahaha, haha, that damn traitor deserves it. You should practice those Unforgivable Curses on him. I think he will like it. After all, that is what his damn master is good at..."

Douglas looked at the food on the table and couldn't help but feel fortunate that Sirius was eating all the food himself.

When he heard the other party's words, he couldn't help but frown...

Perhaps Sirius's mental state improved after hearing about the torture Peter Pettigrew had endured.

He refused Dobby's offer to feed him again and asked Douglas:

"what do you want to do?"

Douglas stared at Sirius and said:

"I want you to survive, and I promise you that at the critical moment, I will help you clear your name..."

Sirius struggled again and roared:

"I don't need it, I don't need it... As long as I can kill him, I don't need anything else."

Douglas picked his ears and started a new story.

He talked about Harry's experiences in the Muggle world from childhood to adulthood, picking out some key points.

Sirius said in disbelief:

"How is it possible? That's Lily's child. She's Lily's sister. How dare she...

I know they never liked James, but..."

Douglas took the opportunity to say:

"That's why I hope you can cheer up, catch Peter Pettigrew, and then let the Ministry of Magic clear your name. Only then can you stand among the crowd and protect Harry, the only child of James Potter and your cousin Lily..."

Sirius shook his long hair that covered his eyes, then looked at Douglas and said:

"Don't you still have me..."

Douglas blinked and said:

“I’m just my cousin, but you’re my godfather.

You may not know that Voldemort is not dead at all. He may come back to kill Harry at any time, so he needs someone to protect him. Last year and the year before, Voldemort appeared in Hogwarts...

Don’t forget, Harry is the child that Mr. Potter and cousin Lily protected with their lives…”

Sirius pondered for a long time and asked:

"What's your plan?"

Douglas felt relieved when he heard his tone, and then told him his plan.

After listening to Douglas' plan, Sirius looked Douglas up and down and asked:

"You're not a Slytherin graduate!"

Douglas felt that Sirius was slandering him. He drew the Badger College emblem in the air with his wand and said angrily:

"Excuse me, I'm a Hufflepuff student..."

Sirius glanced at the table full of dishes, nodded and said:

“It does look a bit like it!”

Chapter 164 Dumbledore: I need a perfect explanation

When Harry was taken to Douglas's house by Dobby the next day, he found that there was a big black dog in the house.

According to Douglas' plan, he could not reveal his true identity to Harry until Harry discovered the truth himself.

Harry asked Dobby curiously:

"When did my cousin get a dog? He didn't have one when I left yesterday."

Dobby hesitated and didn't dare to speak. He didn't want to lie to Harry Potter, but Douglas had explained that Harry couldn't know about this for the time being.

"Dobby...Dobby...Good morning, Boss!"

Seeing Douglas coming out of the bedroom, Dobby greeted him quickly and then left quickly to do the housework.

Douglas explained:

"Well, there's a stray dog ​​I just picked up last night. His name is Padfoot."

When Harry heard the name, he looked at the black dog. What a strange name.

And Harry always felt that Padfoot looked at him in a strange way. It was a very complicated look. Harry greeted him politely:

"Good morning, Padfoot!"

As soon as these words were spoken, some chord in Sirius's heart was touched. The skinny big dog suddenly burst into tears and stared at Harry, whimpering and calling out.

Harry was so frightened that he said quickly:

"Professor, your dog is crying, but I didn't hit him!"

For the next day, Harry always felt that the dog was very strange. He always felt that the dog looked at him as if it was a brother.

And when I was doing my homework, he would snuggle up next to me, very quietly and without making any noise, but he just kept staring at me.

He had reason to suspect that his cousin had hired a dog specifically to watch him do his homework.

Just a week after Sirius acted as a dog watching Harry do his homework during the day and as a human accompanying Douglas in his research at night.

Mr. and Mrs. Granger brought a lot of gifts and came to visit with Hermione.

When there was a knock on the door, Harry and Dobby put down their pens at the same time and rushed to the door.

Douglas saw the two people's actions and said to Sirius, who was lying on the ground:

"Look at him. He really doesn't miss any opportunity to put down his pen and take a break..."

Sirius gave Douglas a disapproving shout.

He talked about this with Douglas many times, telling how when he spent his summer vacation at the Potter family, the old Potter couple were not as perverted as Douglas. Even if the homework was finished, they would still assign a lot of homework.

When Hermione learned of Glass and Harry's identities, she covered her mouth in surprise.

But at the same time she was really happy for Harry…

In this way, in the following days, Douglas's house became lively again.

Dobby picked up Harry and Hermione home every morning and sent them back every evening.

Compared to the harmony and warmth in the Douglas family, the wizarding world has been in turmoil because Sirius Black, who escaped from prison, has not been found for so long.

In order to take Sirius's feelings into consideration, Douglas had already stopped subscribing to the Daily Prophet because the front page every day was a wanted poster for Sirius.

Holidays are always short, and time quickly came to the week before school starts.

Harry and Hermione made an appointment with Ron to meet in Diagon Alley today.

They originally wanted Douglas to take them there, but Douglas said he had something to do, so he arranged for Dobby to take the two of them there.

And under the strange looks of Hermione and Harry, Douglas took out a piece of pet food.

"This is for Ron's pet, Scabbers. After all, it's not easy for a mouse that old to survive. This is a gift I specially customized for it..."

Harry noticed that when Douglas mentioned rats, Padfoot's eyes suddenly turned red, a bit like he had rabies...

At the same time, this is Dobby's first time entering the magical world as the Holmes family butler.

Douglas entrusted him to bring Slane the draft of his new book, The Magic Throne.

Douglas thought about this book for a long time. He felt that given the current delicate relationship between the wizarding and Muggle worlds, it was necessary to publish a book that combined magic and technology.

Although he was a plagiarist, Douglas did not completely copy Squid's original work for the wizarding world version. Instead, he restructured it based on the existing wizarding world system.

He also wrote on the front page of the book that this book is dedicated to the students who performed well in the 1993 Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts OLS exam.

Of course, the Muggle world version is still the original with a different name.

This made Hermione and Harry very envious...

At the same time, they could understand why Douglas didn't go to the wizarding world. After all, school was about to start, and Hogwarts would have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Although Douglas did not resign, this matter was almost recognized in the wizarding world.

The Daily Prophet even held a prize-winning guessing contest on the matter, and the winner would receive a grand prize of 500 gold Galleons provided by the Malfoy family.

Douglas directly asked Dobby to vote for his name, and he was the only one to vote for Douglas Holmes.

When Dobby, the house-elf, dressed in clothes, appeared in the Leaky Cauldron with Harry and Hermione.

There was an uproar all around, and everyone started talking about how this house-elf who left the Malfoy family dared to return to the magical world wearing clothes.

Harry didn't understand why Mrs. Weasley was so angry that Douglas had left him wandering around alone when he met the Weasleys.

Although Harry tried to explain that he came with Dobby and Hermione...

At Holmes's home.

After Harry and the others left, Douglas took Sirius, who had returned to his human form, and drank tea while waiting for someone.

During the time at Douglas's house, Sirius's figure gradually recovered. Although his expression was still so depressed, he at least looked like a human being.

"Doug, are you sure Dumbledore will believe me? Why are we going through all this trouble?"

Douglas really wanted to spray his face with snack crumbs.

But after swallowing the snack in his mouth with tea, he said slowly:

"I'll take care of Dumbledore's case, you don't have to worry about anything else.

You just have to promise me that before they find the truth themselves, you won't do anything extra except what's in the plan. You are not only the big boss I assign to my students, but also a very important part of changing the magic world.

You just need to know that we are working hard for Harry to live in a fair and just wizarding world in the future."
