Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

"Douglas, if everything is as you guessed, I think no matter what you add to the bones, Tom will find it. He was the favorite student of the Potions Professor back then..."

Douglas shrugged and said:

"Professor, I'm not that stupid. In the far east, there's a saying that goes, 'Winning the heart is the best way to win.'"

I want to leave a message for him here. When he sees the words all over the room and then sees what I have written here, what do you think his reaction will be?"

Dumbledore suddenly looked at Douglas sharply and said calmly:

"If it really goes as you predicted, he'll feel like his life is being controlled, and he hates that the most..."

Douglas smiled, and then wrote on the back of the broken tombstone in the same way: "Bones of my fathers, flesh of my servants, blood of my enemies."

Dumbledore looked at the words on the tombstone for a long time without saying anything. Then he waved his wand and wrote under Douglas' words: "The last enemy to be destroyed is death."

Douglas sighed softly. Although he had never been to Godric's Hollow, some books recorded that this sentence was the epitaph of James Potter and Lily Potter.

But he didn't understand what kind of mentality Dumbledore had when he conveyed this sentence to Voldemort. Was it a final persuasion or a declaration of war?

Suddenly Dumbledore said:

"When you have time in the future, you can take Harry to Godric's Hollow."

Douglas nodded.

The huge sun was slowly setting towards the other side of the mountain. The golden light gradually disappeared and turned into a big red round mirror. It became redder and redder as it went down, and the red light it emitted became wider and wider.

It dyed a corner of the blue sky red, and covered the old church with the final golden veil.

As the sun set, the huge wooden cross on the top of the tower cast a shadow on the ground, slowly moving towards the two of them.

When Douglas came back, Harry had already returned from Diagon Alley. He was sitting at the dining table, waiting for Douglas to come back, while actively reviewing the textbooks for the next semester. However, he didn't seem very happy.

Sirius lay quietly beside him.

When Dobby saw Douglas come back, he was very happy and reported in detail what he had done today. After all, he had been the center of attention in Diagon Alley today.

Harry hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Uncle, are you going to do something again? I saw on the note that you wrote that you went out with Headmaster Dumbledore, and everyone's expressions are so strange today."

Douglas took a sip of soup and didn't answer Harry's question. At the same time, he guessed that Harry must have heard or seen something today.

Seeing Douglas's puzzled look, Harry quickly talked about Mr. and Mrs. Weasley's attitude towards him today. Although Dobby was following them, he was always worried that he would suddenly get lost.

And before leaving, Mrs. Weasley specifically told Harry not to leave Douglas for the time being.

But I didn't tell him why.

Douglas said nothing, picked up a piece of meat, put it on a plate, bent down and handed it to Sirius.

At the same time, he winked at Sirius, who nodded his dog head.

Douglas stood up and said seriously:

"You are right, something did happen in the wizarding world, and it is related to you.

Remember the wanted criminal named Sirius Black reported in the Daily Prophet?

Harry nodded and said seriously:

"I also saw it in Diagon Alley. His pictures were posted everywhere, and it was mentioned that he once killed thirteen people with a spell. It was said that he was Voldemort's most capable assistant.

And everyone on the street is talking about the guards of Azkaban, who seem to be stationed at Hogwarts..."

At this point, Harry noticed that Padfoot (Sirius) seemed to be in a strange state.

Douglas coughed, alerting Sirius to his presence.

Harry thought that Band-Leg was hungry, so he took a piece of meat from the table and put it on the plate in front of Band-Leg, and touched the dog's head. Sirius quickly adjusted his mood.

Harry then continued:

"So, does everyone think Sirius Black is going to sneak into Hogwarts and kill me?

But don’t people always say that Voldemort was only afraid of Dumbledore in his life?

Black is Voldemort's most capable assistant, so he must be afraid of Dumbledore as well.

As long as he is at Hogwarts, I think it will be the safest place."

In fact, Harry hadn't said anything more. He had escaped Voldemort's clutches twice before, and he felt that he was not a useless loser...

(The third was tied by Douglas.)

Douglas glanced at Harry and said:

"It's not just your friends who are worried. The night I brought you back, I received a letter from the Ministry of Magic. They asked me to take good care of you and to keep an eye out for news about Black."

Harry asked quickly:

"Did you and Headmaster Dumbledore go out because you found Black's trace?"

Douglas shook his head and asked:

"That matter has nothing to do with you. I want to ask, how much do you know about Blake?"

Harry thought for a moment and said:

"How much do you know? Probably just what's in the newspapers and wanted posters..."

Douglas nodded, sighed and said:

"Harry, you are no longer an eleven-year-old child, you are already thirteen.

Although many people think you shouldn't know this, I still feel it's necessary to tell you."

Harry nodded seriously.

Douglas said:

"Sirius is your godfather!"

After these words came out, Harry froze in place, and the fork in his hand fell onto the table.

Sirius on the side shouted in dissatisfaction. He thought Douglas would tell a story and slowly let Harry accept this matter, but he suddenly bombed out as soon as he opened his mouth.

Harry looked at Douglas blankly.

Douglas couldn't help laughing at Harry's expression, which immediately ruined the atmosphere in the room.

Harry came back to his senses and asked stupidly:

"Uncle, are you serious? My parents are heroes who fought against Voldemort. How could my godfather be Voldemort's accomplice? You must be mistaken, mistaken..."

The more Harry spoke, the more agitated he became. Sirius came forward and bit Harry's trouser leg, his eyes full of worry.

Chapter 174 Guaranteeing Mission Completion

Douglas said coldly:

"Harry, you really disappoint me. Have you forgotten everything I taught you in class?

Voldemort is an unemotional killer. If you can't control your emotions and think clearly, then even if you bear the title of savior, you will only become a stepping stone for his return."

Harry gasped, trying to calm himself down.

Before Douglas knew that Harry was his cousin, he would not care about him so much. Even when he once tried to find the basilisk beyond his ability, Douglas was not too moved.

As for children, just grow up slowly.

Things are different now. When Harry became my own child, I really don't like him at all. He's not active in studying and is easily impulsive...

After seeing Harry control his emotions, Douglas continued:

"Sirius Black was born into the Black family, a pure-blood family. However, unlike his ancestors, he did not choose to enter Slytherin, but entered Gryffindor.

While in school, he and your father became best friends, and he even ran away from home one year and lived with your grandfather.

After graduation, during the fight against Voldemort, he joined the war like your father. I heard from Headmaster Dumbledore that he had made many contributions.

But that night, everything changed. Your parents died, and Black suddenly became Voldemort's lackey.

He was thrown into Azkaban without trial, and Sirius himself had no desire to defend himself.

It is said that he just laughed wildly until the last moment he was imprisoned.

What do you learn from this story, Harry?"

Douglas finished speaking and glanced at Sirius who was lost in his memories.

Harry looked at Douglas, thought about it, and then shook his head sheepishly.

Douglas was not too disappointed because he did not provide Harry with many clues.

"Harry, I have a task for you. I wonder if you dare to accept it."

Harry immediately cleared his mind of all the messy thoughts and nodded seriously.

Douglas said:

"I hope that in this semester, I can find out the truth about Sirius, whether he deserved to die or was wrongfully imprisoned.

However, your mission is not this, but to organize students from the four major colleges to investigate the story behind this case."

Harry didn't understand what Douglas meant. If he was asked to investigate it himself, it would be understandable, after all, it was related to him.

He felt that it was impossible to organize students from the four major colleges to conduct an investigation.

"Uncle, I don't think other students will listen to me except Hermione and Ron."

Douglas looked at him and said with a smile:

"So, this is your mission. As for how to complete this mission, you need to figure it out on your own.

After completing the task, you will receive a great gift."

After saying this, before Harry could react, Sirius symbolically bit Douglas' leg.

He found that Douglas was actually making big promises for Harry.

Harry said excitedly, "I promise to complete the task!"

Douglas looked at Harry, who looked very excited, and rubbed his nose.

In fact, he didn't tell Harry some important information, leaving it for him to discover on his own.

For example, in the eyes of those who knew the inside story, Sirius not only betrayed justice, but also betrayed his friends by leaking James and Lily's location to Voldemort.

Harry has not yet connected the death of his parents with Sirius, so his emotions change so quickly.

As to why Douglas did not train all the students himself, but let the students organize themselves.

On the one hand, he wanted the students to see clearly the true face of the Ministry of Magic through their own efforts, so as to at least ensure that when Voldemort returned in the future, the attitude of the Ministry of Magic would not affect the students of Hogwarts too deeply.

On the other hand, he felt that the truth should not be in the hands of only a few people.

In the original novel, Sirius Black was considered a murderer and traitor in the eyes of the world until his death, because only a few people knew the truth.

As for whether Peter Pettigrew can escape this time, it depends on his luck.

If he was caught, with what happened to Sirius, it would be difficult for Pettigrew to escape from Azkaban through Animagus.

If he hadn't been caught, that would have been even better. He even dared to eat Douglas's special pet food, which meant he was destined to become an excellent tool.

After Harry left, Sirius returned to his human form.

He looked at Douglas with dissatisfaction and shouted:

"Actually, I really don't care whether others know the truth or not. As long as I can kill that traitor, I'd be willing to die right now."

Douglas believed that if Sirius hadn't had a wand, he might have dared to rush into Diagon Alley to find Pettigrew today.

He curled his lips and said disdainfully:

"Then why didn't you show up just now? Seeing your godson willing to work hard for you, you should be very happy inside.

You yourself know that this action is actually not dangerous at all.

You just heard Dobby say that Pettigrew has already eaten the special pet food, so now the last danger has been eliminated by us.

All he can do now is lie dozing off until Harry and the others discover the truth."

Sirius said dissatisfiedly:

"If you ask me, I should just give him chronic rat poison and let him die slowly...
